But upon closer inspection, one would notice a trace of melancholy between the beautiful woman's brows.
Yin Shu glanced at the people behind him, then turned and respectfully said to the beautiful woman inside the fence, "Dean, these are all newly arrived teachers. Since their Soul Power has exceeded rank sixty, we were unable to make the decision ourselves, so we ask that you decide."
The beautiful woman did not answer him. Her figure flashed, and in what seemed like an instant, she had already left the fence.
Other than Liu Yi, Flender, and the others, everyone else's eyes were filled with shock. They could not even tell how she had come out.
From that simple movement alone, it was clear that the beautiful woman possessed considerable strength.
"Xiao Gang! It really is you!"
Grandmaster drew a deep breath and nodded heavily, but did not answer the beautiful woman.
Flender smiled faintly as he introduced her. "Let me introduce you. This is Liu Erlong, the Slaughtering Horn of our former Golden Iron Triangle."
"Er Long, these are our students and academy teachers."
After exchanging a few brief words, everyone followed Liu Erlong to find a larger place. Her room was somewhat small, and a woman's room naturally contained quite a lot of things.
Of course, she would not let anyone else enter it.
Liu Yi gave it some thought. This place was extremely close to Sunset Forest, so why not strip Dugu Bo's medicinal garden bare before Tang San got there?
With that thought in mind, Liu Yi said a few words to Flender, then turned and flew toward Sunset Forest.
The time he had was limited to begin with. According to his memories, Tang San would be captured before long and taken to Dugu Bo's medicinal garden.
After flying for half a shichen, Liu Yi finally arrived at the outskirts of Sunset Forest. Sunset Forest was not particularly vast overall, only about one-tenth the size of Star Dou Great Forest.
Following the Soul Power Fluctuation, he quickly found the poison formation Dugu Bo had set up. It served two purposes: first, to defend against Soul Beast invasions; second, to poison every outsider to death.
A poison formation created by a Titled Douluo was not something ordinary people could enter.
Liu Yi put on his mask. Just as he was about to step into the poison formation, a cold voice came from behind him.
"If I were you, I wouldn't go in."
Liu Yi withdrew the foot that had stepped halfway forward. He did not need to turn around to know who had spoken.
"Why won't you let me enter, Senior?"
Liu Yi removed his mask and turned with a smile to look at the old man ten meters behind him. The old man wore dark green clothing. There was no need to think about it—he was Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo!
Dugu Bo chuckled. Even after not seeing him for so long, he had recognized Liu Yi at first glance.
This young man possessed the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul.
"Kid, do you know this is my territory?"
"This junior knows."
"Hm? If you know, why do you still wish to barge in? With your current Soul Emperor strength, I guarantee that if you enter, the poison will corrode you in less than ten minutes, and you will ultimately rot to death."
Liu Yi did not argue. Although Dugu Bo's poison was indeed formidable, that did not mean he had no way to deal with it. If he did not have a method, he would not have rashly entered.
That silver mask was a treasure that could conceal one's aura and enhance Spiritual Power. It could also block poison. Moreover, Liu Yi had something else—the Eight Spider Soul Bone he had stripped from Tang San.
The Eight Spider Soul Bone contained extreme poison. Only poison could counter poison and block it.
"Liu Yi, right? I won't make things difficult for you today. Leave quickly. I still have matters to attend to."
Just as Dugu Bo was about to leave, Liu Yi said, "Senior Dugu, this junior has a request."
Dugu Bo stopped and turned around, asking in confusion, "A request? What is it?"
"I want to visit Senior's medicinal garden."
The moment Liu Yi finished speaking, the surrounding air temperature plummeted. The icy poison even caused all the nearby trees to wither.
Liu Yi did not panic because of this. Instead, he stood calmly where he was.
At that very moment, Dugu Bo appeared before Liu Yi in a flash. Dugu Bo was around 1.75 meters tall, while Liu Yi was close to 1.8 meters, so Dugu Bo had to raise his head to look at him this time.
"Kid, don't think that just because you're Chen Xin's nephew, you can do whatever you please before me. If I want to kill you, all it takes is a flick of my finger."
Liu Yi smiled faintly.
"Hm? What are you smiling about? Do you think I don't dare kill you?"
Seeing the corners of Liu Yi's lips curve upward, Dugu Bo was clearly angered.
"Senior must be joking. This junior naturally knows Senior's methods. It's just that if this junior dies here, some trouble may arise. I think... Senior probably cannot do that."
Dugu Bo's eyes turned cold, his voice exceptionally icy. "Are you threatening me?"
"This junior would not dare."
"Hmph! Wouldn't dare? I think you're clearly using those two old fellows from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to threaten me. You should also know that I, Dugu Bo, have never accepted threats from others. As long as I kill you and leave this place quickly, even if they learn you're dead, who would know that I killed you?"
Unhurried, Liu Yi turned and sat on the end of a fallen log. He took out two flasks of wine and tossed one over.
Dugu Bo caught it in one hand. "What do you mean by this?"
"What, are you afraid I poisoned it?"
Dugu Bo chuckled. "Let me put it this way: I have always been the one to poison others. No one can poison me!"
As he spoke, Dugu Bo opened the flask, sniffed its contents, then laughed loudly and began drinking in large gulps. It seemed he was also a lover of fine wine.
"I'm seventy-eight this year. Come to think of it, I'm about the same age as your uncle Chen Xin."
Dugu Bo did not attack again. He turned and sat down beside Liu Yi.
"Then what, should I call you Uncle too?"
Dugu Bo waved his hand. "No need. You're about the same age as my granddaughter. If you like, call me Grandfather."
Liu Yi nearly sprayed out his mouthful of wine. How could this old fellow be so shameless?
"Tell me. What do you want to do?"
Liu Yi did not beat around the bush. "I want to pick some medicinal herbs. Across the entire continent, aside from Dugu Bo, I don't know who else possesses such a large quantity of herbs."
Dugu Bo chuckled and stroked his small beard. He liked hearing that.
"Fine, I can agree. But you may only take one plant."
Liu Yi nearly spat out his wine. What could he do with one plant? If he was taking anything, he had to take enough.
At that moment, Liu Yi thought of something—Dugu Bo's own condition.
"Senior Dugu, whenever it rains or the sky turns overcast, do your flanks itch unbearably? And does the sensation gradually spread upward? Does it flare up once at noon and once at midnight? Also..."
After hearing Liu Yi's words, Dugu Bo was visibly shocked.
