Douluo Continent: Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't chase her.

"Guests are guests, how can we let them hide away?"

Bibi Dong gave a wicked smile and gave the order.

"Yes," Moonlight replied.

Immediately, he dared not linger for a moment and rushed towards the Spirit Hall Academy.

But just as he was on his way to the Spirit Hall Academy, another figure broke through the walls of Spirit City and ran straight toward the Heaven Dou Empire.

He carried a figure on his shoulder; it was Gu Yi, who had been knocked unconscious.

And the one who knocked him unconscious was none other than Gu Rong.

As soon as he entered the city, he was drawn to the sounds of fighting coming from the teahouse. While he was curious, he also wondered if Gu Yi might be there.

And when I looked, it really was there!

Seeing this, Gu Rong was overjoyed. Without thinking twice, he followed Gu Yi after he left the teahouse and knocked him unconscious with a single blow.

"Although we haven't found the girl and the soul beast, let's take him back to the sect for questioning first."

"Don't worry, Grandpa will protect you."

As Gu Rong pondered this, his figure flickered continuously, and in the blink of an eye, he was several miles away from Wuhun City.

Suddenly, a huge, emerald-green figure rushed out from beside him and blocked his way.

"Ok?"

"Dugu Bo?"

Chapter 85 Dugu Bo Displays His Power

"Where are you taking Gu Yi?"

Dugu Bo stood atop the Azure Scale Serpent King's head, his face cold, and asked Gu Rong a question.

"Where I take my grandson is none of your business, you old poisoner."

"I'm not concerned about you killing three Soul Saint deacons of my sect right now, so you can be secretly happy. Now get out of my way!"

Gu Rong had no intention of giving Dugu Bo a friendly look. In his mind, if it weren't for Dugu Bo, his "good grandson" wouldn't have "fallen" to this point.

"Move aside? Sorry, I can't move aside, at least not until Gu Yi wakes up."

"You'd better listen to what he has to say before you consider whether or not to take him back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Dugu Bo has already assumed a fighting stance, ready to make a move at any moment!

Although I definitely can't beat them.

If he hadn't sensed Gu Yi moving rapidly, he wouldn't have bothered coming out, and he certainly didn't expect to encounter Gu Rong here.

But he knew one thing: he absolutely could not be allowed to bring Gu Yi back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School now, otherwise all his previous plans would be in vain.

And this kid, if he helps him now, he should remember some of his good deeds when he wakes up.

"Hmph! You won't allow it? Do you even have the right to say that to me?"

With a roar, Gu Rong's nine spirit rings appeared beneath his feet, and a massive, terrifying bone dragon phantom emerged behind him.

"I'll give you one more chance, get out of my way!"

Gu Rong didn't want to waste any more time on this, and threatened again.

"It seems there's no room for negotiation. I guess I'll just have to risk my old bones."

"Seventh Soul Skill! Martial Soul True Body!"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Azure Scale Illusion!"

Seeing that Gu Rong had no intention of stalling for time, Dugu Bo immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body and set up a huge poisonous gas array around him, intending to control Gu Rong within it.

His idea was simple: there was no need to confront Gu Rong head-on; he just needed to stall for time.

"Humph!"

"Unbelievable!"

"If you want to trap me, go back and cultivate for several hundred more years!"

"Fifth Soul Skill, Bone Dragon Roars to the Heavens!"

As he finished speaking, the bone dragon behind him suddenly roared to the sky, and a phantom spatial shockwave spread outwards.

It directly covered the entire poison array set up by Dugu Bo and shattered the entire array in an instant.

The surrounding poisonous gas dissipated in that instant.

"Damn it! Don't underestimate me!"

"Eighth Soul Skill: Time Freeze!"

Seeing his poison array broken instantly, Dugu Bo became serious. His eighth spirit ring appeared around him, and a strange energy instantly sealed off the entire area around the ancient banyan tree.

While this Soul Skill effect is active, the flow of time around the Ancient Banyan Tree will be slowed down infinitely, or even completely stopped.

For a moment, Gu Rong seemed to have been disconnected from this world. He stood there, carrying Gu Yi, motionless.

Dugu Bo seized the opportunity, riding the Azure Serpent King, and quickly rushed to Gu Rong's side, pulling Gu Yi to his side.

Immediately afterwards, he mobilized his soul power again.

"Soul Bone Skill, Medusa's Gaze!"

His eighth soul skill couldn't control the ancient banyan tree for long; the soul power it consumed was simply too terrifying.

However, if the ancient banyan tree is petrified now, it will be enough to delay until Gu Yi wakes up.

'I'll remove the petrification effect from you once this kid wakes up.'

In terms of pure combat strength, he was no match for Gu Rong, but the other party was too arrogant and looked down on him, which gave him an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

To be honest, he wasn't sure if the petrification effect would last until Gu Yi woke up, but it was the best course of action right now.

There was nothing he could do but remain in his Martial Soul True Form state, guarding the grandfather and grandson.

He couldn't just abandon Gu Rong and leave. If he were accidentally shattered by some soul beast, wouldn't Gu Yi kill him?

"Ah~"

Dugu Bo sighed and looked up at the sky.

Time flies, and half an hour has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Huh? Where am I? What happened to me?"

Gu Yi struggled to open his eyes and asked three questions.

But just as he sat up, a petrified statue that he recognized appeared in front of him.

"Hmm! Grandpa?"

Gu Yi felt a bit incredulous, and his brain went blank at that moment.

"You little rascal, you've finally woken up."

"If you had woken up any later, I think I wouldn't have been able to hold on much longer."

Suddenly, Dugu Bo's voice rang out from behind him, startling Gu Yi.

"Huh? Dugu Bo? What are you doing here? What's going on?"

Gu Yi hurriedly stood up from the ground and asked Dugu Bo.

"I can't answer that question for you. You should ask your good grandfather."

"I'll remove the petrification effect from him now. Go ask him yourself."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo stretched out his palm and a ball of emerald green light condensed in his palm.

Just as he struck the ball of light into the ancient banyan 'statue', the banyan's body gradually returned to normal.

"Dugu Bo!"

As soon as things returned to normal, Gu Rong immediately exploded. It was just too humiliating. He, a dignified level 95 Title Douluo, had actually been played by Dugu Bo for so long. He couldn't accept it!

He strode towards Dugu Bo, ready to attack again!

"Grandpa! Calm down! What are you doing here?"

Seeing this, Gu Yi quickly stepped between the two and asked anxiously.

"Why am I here? It's all because of you, you little brat!"

"Quickly! You come back with me right now and apologize to the sect leader, otherwise, how can your grandfather face anyone?"

Gu Rong grabbed Gu Yi's arm and urged him angrily.

But Gu Yi certainly wouldn't listen. Don't even think about sending him back to that disgusting place!

"Wrong? What did I do wrong? They're the ones who are wrong!"

"Ning Fengzhi clearly promised me to protect Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu, but on my way back, I saw that bitch Ning Rongrong leading three Soul Saints, trying to kill Zhuqing and the others."

"Can't I fight back to protect their safety?"

"Since Ning Fengzhi failed to keep his promise, can't I also disregard my promise to him?"

"Grandpa, there is absolutely no way I can go back with you. Please give up on that idea."

Gu Yi forcefully broke free of Gu Rong's grasp, retorting sharply and expressing his anger.

"Huh? This... how could this be?"

"Yi'er, are you lying? Why is this different from what the sect leader told me?"

Gu Rong was a little confused. For a moment, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't tell whether what the two people were saying was true or false.

"I lied?"

“Grandpa, why would I lie to you? Besides, if you don’t believe me, you can just ask Dugu Bo directly.”

“He was there at the time, and he was the one who helped me. He knows what happened.”

Gu Yi pointed at Dugu Bo, indicating that Gu Rong was fully capable of confronting him.
