Dugu Bo Joins the Shadow Hall!

Xu Xin smiled unconsciously when he keenly noticed the relaxed expression on Dugu Bo's face.

The moment she saw Dugu Bo and the others, A Yin quickly put on her mask.

Beside her, Liu Erlong stared wide-eyed at the mask on A Yin's face. "Sister A Yin, why are you wearing such an ugly mask?"

"Pfft!"

A Yin smiled faintly, and that deepened voice sounded again. "It is a bit ugly, but it is very useful."

Liu Erlong shook her head, unable to understand. Why did such a beautiful sister have to wear such an ugly mask?

She was completely, utterly baffled.

Hearing their conversation, Dugu Bo and the other two glanced in their direction.

The masked sister was still the same sister, except there was now an additional young girl.

But why did this girl seem somewhat familiar?

Dugu Xin felt the same way. This girl seemed familiar somehow.

Yet he could not recall where he had seen her before.

"Everyone, let's head inside first," Xu Xin said.

A Yin took out the Fragrant Silken Immortal Product and led the way. The poisonous mist around them swiftly parted, and the six of them soon entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

After everyone entered, the poisonous mist gathered around the place once more.

"It's so beautiful!"

Liu Erlong and Dugu Bo's daughter-in-law instantly fell in love with the place. The scenery here was simply too beautiful.

Mist drifted through the air, and everything seemed naturally formed.

"Sister Erlong, Auntie, don't touch that lake water. It could be fatal."

"You may look at the flowers and grass around us, but some of them are poisonous."

Xu Xin hurriedly warned them. If these two women entered the lake, they would be doomed.

Without the Blazing Apricot and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, entering with their strength would mean certain death.

Liu Erlong and the woman nodded, then began looking around the area.

"Senior Dugu, how did you find this place?"

A Yin and the others sat down in front of the small wooden cabin before Xu Xin finally asked leisurely.

"Originally, I was also wondering where I could find you in such a vast Sunset Forest."

"But then I remembered the direction we took when we parted ways, so I came here with a glimmer of hope. I never expected to truly run into the subordinates of the two of you."

"You could say it was a lucky accident."

Dugu Bo looked around and answered calmly.

Xu Xin nodded. So that was it.

It had to be said that Dugu Bo truly had an affinity with the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He had managed to find it even like this.

"I believe you have also noticed the peculiar nature of this place, Senior. It can suppress the poison within your body."

"So, have you considered it?"

"Will you join us, or...?"

Xu Xin looked calmly at the father and son before him.

Dugu Xin was still alive, but there was quite a lot of poison in his body.

Dugu Bo's Soul Power rank was relatively high, allowing him to suppress it well. But what about Dugu Xin? Judging by his current state, he was only a Soul King, yet the toxins in his body were already rather concentrated.

He had likely inherited some of Dugu Bo's poison.

Dugu Bo exchanged a glance with Dugu Xin, then looked around once more. They were now certain that the siblings before them could treat them.

"Young friends, if we join you, are there any special restrictions?"

Dugu Bo still asked the question.

"Restrictions? There are no special restrictions, but loyalty is very important. Of course, you're the first to join us, so there will naturally be benefits and such."

Xu Xin smiled and spoke leisurely.

Nearby, the Ninja Soldier was roasting chicken and preparing food, while Liu Erlong and the other woman admired the surroundings. The four men quietly discussed matters.

"Alright, we'll join."

Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and finally made his decision.

He had noticed that the poison in his son's body was acting up more and more frequently. If he suddenly went into seclusion and his son's poison flared up again, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Besides, this place was good. His son would have some security here as well.

Upon hearing that, Xu Xin smiled. It seemed that Dugu Bo at this point in time still had many concerns.

Otherwise, he would not have joined a faction so easily.

"Big Sister A Yin, now we have another elder."

"Senior Dugu, from now on, you are the Second Elder, and Big Sister A Yin is the First Elder."

At those words, Dugu Bo froze for a moment, but quickly understood. This must have been some young master from a major power coming out to play around on his own.

That was good too. There would not be so many restrictions.

"Young Master, what is our faction called?"

"How will the poison in my father and me be cured?"

Dugu Xin adapted to his change in status quickly, immediately addressing him as Young Master.

Xu Xin glanced at A Yin. She said nothing, so he could make the decision himself.

"Shadow Hall!"

"I am the Hall Master, Sister A Yin is the First Elder, and Senior Dugu is the Second Elder."

"As for the poison in Senior Dugu and Dugu Xin..."

"I have two methods: one treats the symptoms, and the other treats the root cause."

"You may as well hear them out."

Xu Xin spoke calmly.

A Yin was somewhat curious. What method could this little fellow possibly have? Even she was not confident about it.

"Please speak, Hall Master." Dugu Bo listened quietly. It seemed their Hall Master truly had some skill.

The aroma of roasted chicken from the Ninja Soldiers gradually drifted over. It smelled wonderful.

Liu Erlong, naturally familiar with everyone, crouched down without the slightest concern that the Ninja Soldiers might attack her.

"Let's start with treating the symptoms."

"Simply put, it means suppression. By using the environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, along with Sister A Yin's abilities, we can suppress the poison in your bodies."

"As Sister A Yin's strength rises, the suppression will become more effective."

Before he had even finished, Dugu Bo shook his head. Rather than that, he might as well suppress it himself. Though having the First Elder help would certainly be better.

"Hall Master, you should talk about treating the root cause instead."

Xu Xin naturally understood. Since they had joined this place, they naturally wanted a permanent cure. Xu Xin would not let them die either.

"There is an immortal herb here that can evolve Uncle Dugu's martial soul, allowing the poisonous toxin to be removed at its source."

"As for Senior Dugu, there is also an immortal herb for you. However, if you take it, the poison in your body will be completely neutralized, causing your strength to drop drastically. I imagine you would not want that, Senior."

As he listened to Xu Xin, Dugu Xin kept scanning the surroundings. What kind of herb could possibly have such an effect?

Dugu Bo did the same, looking around curiously.

"That's right. My strength comes from the poison I have cultivated all my life. It would be impossible for me to give up my cultivation."

Dugu Bo shook his head seriously. But if his son's martial soul could evolve and his poison could be cured, then joining Shadow Hall would not be a loss!

"Then there is only the last method left, though it will take quite a long time..."

"Expel the poison, detoxify it, and take it slowly."

"Would Senior be willing?"

The Ninja Soldiers brought over several roasted chickens and various fruits. Liu Erlong and the woman also came over and sat down.

Everyone was hungry, so they began eating.

Dugu Bo did not stand on ceremony either. As he ate, he asked, "That could work. How does the Hall Master intend to expel the poison?"

"Soul bones. You only need to inject the poison into your soul bones."

"Later, I'll have Sister A Yin prepare Detoxification Pills for you. This will be a long process."

"Senior Dugu can cultivate here as well."

Hearing this, A Yin put down the chicken leg in her hand and looked at Xu Xin in confusion. She did not know how to make any Detoxification Pills!

Xu Xin blinked at her, and A Yin immediately understood.

I may not know how, but I can have the Ninja Soldiers steal them.

Hehehe!
