Another Encounter with Dugu Bo

The sound echoing in the mountain valley was elusive, and even though Dugu Bo cautiously searched his surroundings, he could not find its source.

Moreover, this familiar voice stirred up Dugu Bo's memories.

Dugu Bo had a deep memory of that voice. Although Quan Yi's voice sounded less childish than it had a few years ago, he recognized it as the voice of that little brat from back then.

His expression suddenly turned strange, and a slight smile appeared on his stiff face.

He said loudly in a mocking tone, "Those who were lucky enough to escape from my grasp back then, dare to walk right back into my trap?"

What, did you bring helpers today?

Dugu Bo was most wary of was the potentially powerful background behind Quan Yi.

Therefore, over the past few years, Dugu Bo has strengthened the Outer Poison Array.

He even used the poisonous plants around the spring to increase the potency of the Toxin Poison Array.

After his enhancement, anyone whose Soul Power Level has not reached the Titled Douluo realm will surely die if they step into the Poison Array.

Even if Soul Power reaches the level of Titled Douluo, if one accidentally enters this realm, one's body will be attacked by a fierce Toxin, causing one's condition to deteriorate.

Quan Yi sensed the probing meaning in Dugu Bo's words and replied, "Senior, there's no need to worry. It's just the two of us here."

Today, I'm here to negotiate with my seniors.

"Negotiation? You dare to negotiate with me all by yourself? Kid, I advise you not to be so arrogant."

Dugu Bo laughed in anger, for he could hear the sincerity in Quan Yi's tone.

However, it was precisely this sincerity that offended Dugu Bo's dignity as Titled Douluo.

Quan Yi replied calmly, "The fact that I dared to come alone means that I have enough confidence."

Dugu Bo was deeply shocked when he heard Quan Yi's confident tone.

If it were anyone else, Dugu Bo would only think that this was utter nonsense.

However, Quan Yi once escaped right under his nose, and during that process, he didn't even see the other party's name, appearance, Soul Power Level, or even Martial Soul.

The fact that the other party could do this shows that they are not a simple person.

Such a person, who dares to come alone, means that he is prepared.

Dugu Bo quickly calmed his inner turmoil and replied calmly, "Since you have the confidence, why not show your true colors and let me see your real face?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire space fell into an eerie silence.

Dugu Bo waited for Quan Yi's reaction.

Just when he thought Quan Yi would refuse, a red light appeared in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, Quan Yi's voice rang out from the direction from which the firelight was coming.

"Okay, I agree to your request."

Quan Yi immediately released his Fire Spirit Body, and the flames quickly transformed from a sphere into a humanoid shape.

Immediately afterwards, sparks flew, revealing Quan Yi's body.

Dugu Bo's gaze sharpened as a tall, imposing man came into view.

The terrifying body that could not be concealed by clothing, and the terrifying aura comparable to a giant dragon, made Dugu Bo feel a strong sense of crisis.

All his senses were intensely alerting him that the person before him was extremely dangerous.

Dugu Bo quickly entered battle mode, ready to unleash a Thunder attack at the slightest sign of trouble from his opponent.

Just as the situation was about to escalate into a dangerous conflict, something unexpected happened.

Then, the Nine-Section Emerald that had been lying on Dugu Bo's shoulder shot towards Quan Yi.

Dugu Bo was briefly thrown into confusion by the sudden actions of the Nine-Section Emerald.

By the time he realized what was happening and tried to stop the Nine-Section Emerald, it had already flown right up to Quan Yi.

In this emergency, Dugu Bo, in a moment of desperation, quickly shouted to Quan Yi, "Watch out!"

Dugu Bo never expected to do such a thing, but in the next instant, the Nine-Section Emerald jumped onto Quan Yi's shoulder.

When Dugu Bo saw the Nine-Section Emerald nuzzling affectionately against Quan Yi, his brain went blank.

Quan Yi had not anticipated the sudden move by Nine-Section Emerald.

After all, he only asked Nine-Section Emerald to summon Dugu Bo, and he didn't make any arrangements after that.

However, what surprised Quan Yi even more was Dugu Bo's reaction just now.

Those were clearly words of reminder to him.

Quan Yi smiled and said, "It seems that you still have some goodwill towards me, senior."

Dugu Bo's face flushed slightly, feeling embarrassed and as if he had lost face.

He retorted angrily, "Who has feelings for you?"

Although Nine-Section Emerald's actions were unexpected, they broke the tense atmosphere.

This helped to ease the tension between the two.

Dugu Bo's emerald green pupils quickly swept over Quan Yi, and he was taken aback by Quan Yi's youthful face.

He glanced at Quan Yi and exclaimed, "Gauntlets Martial Soul, you're from the Iron Fist Family!"

Dugu Bo lived in Heaven Dou City and had heard a little about the Iron Fist Family.

They also knew that the Gauntlets Martial Soul was Martial Soul to the direct descendants of the Quan Family.

Therefore, upon seeing the Gauntlet, he naturally thought of the Quan Family.

Quan Yi: "So, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Quan Yi. I've come here today with sincerity to negotiate with you, senior."

Dugu Bo's mind went into chaos.

As far as he knew, only two men in the Quan Family, Quan Li and Quan Yue, possessed Gauntlets Martial Soul.

Looking at Quan Yi's youthful face, a surprising guess arose in his mind.

He asked, "Are you Quan Yue's son?"

Quan Yi nodded and replied, "Yes."

Quan Yi's answer left Dugu Bo utterly shocked.

Quan Yue is of the same generation as his son, which means that Quan Yi is of the same generation as his granddaughter.

"What Little Monster!" Dugu Bo exclaimed inwardly.

After the atmosphere eased, Dugu Bo asked in an annoyed tone, "When did you turn Nine-Section Emerald against you?"

Quan Yi lightly tapped the green snake with his finger and said, "So its name is Nine-Section Emerald."

"Turning it into defection? It's more like obeying the instincts of a beast. It sensed my overwhelming power, which is why it chose to abandon the darkness and embrace me."

Dugu Bo's forehead veins bulged, Quan Yi's words were stirring up his anger.

However, Dugu Bo suppressed his anger and said, "Hmph, Little Bandit, while I'm in a good mood, hurry up and tell me the contents of the negotiation."

Although his words were forceful, Dugu Bo felt a sense of anxiety deep inside.

Time was ticking away, and there wasn't much time left before his attack occurred.

What he thought would be an easy matter to resolve is now slipping out of his control.

Quan Yi's strength exceeded his expectations.

Moreover, what troubled him most was that the location Quan Yi had chosen was far too disadvantageous for him.

This place not only has Medicine Garden, but also that terrifying hot spring.

The importance of this space to him is self-evident.

Now, Quan Yi's choice to appear here is precisely because he has grasped Quan Yi's weakness, making him afraid to act rashly.

That's why he found Quan Yi headache and a difficult situation.

This was no ordinary opponent. In his mind, Dugu Bo gradually elevated Quan Yi's position to that of himself.
