While Yu Tianheng left dejectedly, Yu Yuanzhen still stood silently at the entrance of the clan, his hope rapidly fading.
"Big Brother, what do we do now? We've already contacted almost all the powers in the empire, but we still can't solve this vicious poison." Yu Luomian burned with anger at the thought of Dugu Bo. He continued,
"Big Brother, I think it's best to search for that shameless Dugu Bo or that brat who threw the poison container quickly."
Hearing Yu Luomian's words, Yu Yuanzhen remembered that brat's identity. His son, Yu Xiaogang, had caused trouble everywhere in the past, and now his disciple was involved in harming the clan members.
Thinking about his son made Yu Yuanzhen's breathing heavy. The fact that his son's disciple was part of this incident pained him more than the poison in his own body.
After the incident, many people in the clan learned what had happened and were furious at Yu Xiaogang. Soon, he would likely be removed from the family tree, banished from the clan, or worse.
"Tianheng, where are you going?" Yu Yuanzhen was pulled from his thoughts by Yu Luomian's voice.
"Uncle, I'm going back to the Imperial Academy to become stronger," Yu Tianheng said sadly.
Hearing his grandson's words, Yu Yuanzhen's eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope. He asked with expectation,
"Tianheng, how is your relationship with Dugu Yan?"
"Grandpa, Our relation is very good, we have become boyfriend and girlfriend," Yu Tianheng replied, still a bit confused. why his Grandpa asked about her.
"Good, good!" Yu Yuanzhen's excitement grew, and his tone deepened.
"Tianheng, the clan is in danger now. I'm giving you an important mission."
Yu Tianheng immediately became serious upon hearing his grandfather's tone.
"Grandpa, I'll definitely complete the mission for the sake of our clan," Yu Tianheng said, patting his chest with determination.
"Alright. Your mission is to bring Dugu Yan here."
Hearing the mission, Yu Tianheng's eyes widened in shock.
"Tianheng, we have no choice but to bring her. Dugu Bo is a Title Douluo, and Title Douluo can fly. It's nearly impossible to catch him without having a Title Douluo's strength. So, I'm the only one who can confront him, but if I leave the clan to search for him, he might attack while I'm gone. Without me, the clan would be defenseless against his poison. As a result, many people would die. So, our only option is find Dugu yan." Yu Yuanzhen explained the seriousness of the situation.
Yu Tianheng hadn't expected things to reach this point. He remembered that, in the past, under clan orders, he had been sent to get close to Dugu Yan to deepen the relationship between Dugu Bo and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. But after spending years with her, he had genuinely developed feelings for her.
He hesitated for a moment, but that hesitation quickly disappeared, replaced by determination. Between the clan and her, he chose to sacrifice her for sake of his clan.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll find and bring Dugu Yan here," Yu Tianheng said firmly.
"Alright, go quickly."
With that, Yu Tianheng left to find Dugu Yan.
"Big Brother, Dugu Bo might have prepared for this and could have hidden Dugu Yan somewhere safe," Yu Luomian warned, pointing out the difficulty of the task.
"It's better to try. That's the only option we have. Searching for Dugu Bo directly could result in casualties. It's safer to look for his granddaughter," Yu Yuanzhen replied with hope.
"Big Brother, why did that bastard attack our clan?"
Yu Yuanzhen explained everything he knew.
"He kept saying that Yu Zhenhai, whom he encountered in the core area, told him we stole from him. But Yu Zhenhai doesn't even know him. He was with a clan elder the entire time while hunting soul beasts and never entered the core area."
"Big Brother, his story is full of loopholes! It's clear that Dugu Bo, that shameless bastard, is intentionally targeting our clan, and he already stole from our clan vault!" Yu Luomian fumed with anger.
"I never expected he would make such a despicable move, or I would have taken him down when he entered the clan" Yu Yuanzhen said with deep regret.
Meanwhile, in Lanba Academy, things were in chaos.
Tai Long's father rushed over with a few of his clansmen after hearing that his son had been injured. But upon arriving, he was informed by the academy healers that his son had been poisoned and his condition was very serious.
"Who's so vicious as to poison my precious son?!" he roared, trembling with anger.
"Senior, we really don't know who did it. When we heard the children screaming, we rushed over, but by the time we arrived at the dormitory, he was already like this," the teachers explained hurriedly.
"What happened? Explain quickly!" Tai Long's father grabbed one of the teachers by the collar.
The teacher quickly explained everything he had learned from the students. After hearing it, Tai Long's father immediately suspected that his son's injuries were related to Tang San.
"Where is that kid now?"
"Senior, we sent people to find him, but there's been no news."
Tai Long's father's expression darkened. He looked at his clansmen and ordered coldly,
"Bring our people and search for that Tang San! Even if we have to turn the capital upside down, find him immediately! And also inform my father about this!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Tai Long's father knew the Breaking Clan specialized in medicine and poison. With their relationship with his father, they would definitely help save his son.
With that, the Strength Clan began their search for Tang San.
"Tai Long, hold on a little longer. I will definitely save you," Tai Long's father said, his heart aching as he watched his son twitch in pain.
