Dugu Yan's Premature Birth, Dugu Bo's Titled Breakthrough!

After taking a stroll around the Ghost Shadow Kingdom, Xu Xin opened the Heavenly Eye again and left.

Back then, when Xu Xin learned that he could only summon so few Ghost Shadow Legion members, he had felt somewhat disappointed.

After all, the Ghost Shadow Legion was famed for its numbers.

But now, with the appearance of the Ghost Shadow Kingdom, numbers were no longer a limitation. Although there were still only so many powerful fighters, it was undeniably a major enhancement.

It also gave him an additional guarantee of safety. If he could not win, he could simply flee into the Ghost Shadow Kingdom. Who could possibly enter after him?

Of course, there was currently no one he could not defeat.

For now, it was better to reveal the Ghost Shadow Kingdom slowly. Xu Xin had already decided that he would bring his three elders in to take a look later.

As for everyone else? They were not under consideration for the time being.

After leaving the Ghost Shadow Kingdom, Xu Xin entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well once more to cultivate.

The moment he began his seclusion, Xu Xin cut off his connection with the Ninja Soldiers.

He had done the same during his previous seclusion.

After coming out of seclusion, he had even forgotten to ask how the surveillance had gone.

Still, the purpose of the surveillance was simply to learn the whereabouts of the two men. Nothing else mattered much. Of course, it would be even better if they uncovered some secrets.

As for running into A Yin? He was not worried in the slightest. If they met, it would let the two men know what it meant to be tormented by what they could never have. Killing the heart was the best punishment.

Naturally, he could not tell A Yin about the first time he had sent people to monitor Tang Hao and Tang Xiao. If he did, would that not mean he had known them in advance?

Explaining that later would be troublesome.

But this time was different. Xu Xin instructed the Ninja Soldiers to report everything they learned from their surveillance to Dugu Xin while he was in seclusion. There was no need for frequent reports—once a month would suffice.

Time passed bit by bit, and everyone by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well remained busy with their own affairs.

Xu Xin also had the Ninja Soldiers attempt to refine Mysterious Water Pills. A Yin handed the matters she had been handling over to the Ninja Soldiers as well, then went off to cultivate properly.

Until one day, an infant's cry shattered the tranquility of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Dugu Xin and Lu Xing'er's child had been born.

Along with the baby's cries, a vast and terrifying aura surged over from the other side, followed by a hearty burst of laughter. "Hahaha!"

Dugu Bo's voice drew nearer and nearer as he hurried over impatiently.

Xu Xin was also awakened by the shrill cries.

Before long, everyone had gathered at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Aunt Xing'er gave birth! It's a girl!!"

Liu Erlong spoke excitedly. A daughter—good, very good.

"A daughter? Daughters are wonderful, wonderful." Dugu Bo stroked his beard. He had a granddaughter now. Not bad, not bad.

Granddaughters were better. They knew how to care for people.

Xu Xin and A Yin quickly gathered around as well.

A daughter? He had not expected that, because of his arrival, Dugu Yan would be born ahead of time...

Still, that was quite good. He just wondered whether he would have another chance to meet Qian Renxue.

Oh, right. This little girl had not been named yet.

Soon, Dugu Xin came out carrying the little girl while pushing Lu Xing'er along.

"Father, give her a name." Dugu Xin looked at Dugu Bo and handed him his precious granddaughter.

Dugu Bo happily held the baby, and the smile on his face never faded.

Once he held the little one, he simply could not stop.

"Good girl, my precious little girl..."

Dugu Bo kept muttering to himself...

The others could only smile helplessly.

"Father, name her first."

Dugu Xin could not help interrupting him.

"Right, right, a name, a name."

"Your grandmother had the character 'Yan' in her name. Why not call her Dugu Yan? It can also let your grandmother know that she has a granddaughter now."

Dugu Bo did not even need to think before saying so.

Upon hearing the name, Xu Xin silently thought, As expected. This little girl was Dugu Yan. He just wondered what her martial soul would be like in the future.

"Dugu Yan, Dugu Yan. Good, good, good. From now on, my daughter will be called Dugu Yan."

Dugu Xin smiled at Lu Xing'er. This was their first child.

"Second Elder, congratulations are in order today."

Xu Xin spoke slowly.

Dugu Bo laughed heartily. "Hall Master, today is not only my happy occasion, but also a joyous occasion for our Shadow Hall. I've already reached level 90; all I'm missing is a Soul Ring."

Dugu Bo's words stunned the people present for a moment before they all began to laugh.

"The moment I heard my granddaughter crying just now, the final bottleneck in my Soul Power instantly broke through. Otherwise, it would have taken another month or two."

Dugu Bo teased his precious granddaughter as he spoke with a smile.

"Congratulations, Second Elder!" ×5

Everyone offered their congratulations.

Over the past few days, everyone had been happily enjoying themselves. Because of Dugu Yan's birth, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had become lively for once.

Dugu Bo, too, tirelessly spent every day keeping his little granddaughter company.

Fortunately, Xu Xin and the others urged him on, and only then did Dugu Bo reluctantly leave to hunt for a Soul Ring.

Compared to his little granddaughter, even his cultivation no longer seemed important.

As the group was talking, a Ninja Soldier approached while carrying a medicinal pill.

The pill was deep blue and about the size of a cherry. A faint mist of water lingered around it, while countless white streaks covered its surface. It emitted a subtle fragrance.

"This is the Mysterious Water Pill?"

"It succeeded?"

Xu Xin picked up the pill and examined it in surprise. It had really succeeded—it truly was a Mysterious Water Pill.

The Ninja Soldier nodded, confirming it.

Not bad, not bad. It had actually succeeded. These Ninja Soldiers really were incredibly versatile.

Now that it had succeeded, he could leave these matters to them in the future. It would save him a great deal of trouble.

Xu Xin had no doubts whatsoever. For the Mysterious Water Pill to have appeared, these Ninja Soldiers must have conducted countless experiments.

Its effects surely would not be poor.

This period of seclusion had truly been worthwhile. It seemed the time had come for Shadow Hall to emerge into the world.

"Uncle Xin, Sister A Yin, Sister Erlong, now that the Mysterious Water Pill is ready and all kinds of medicinal pills have been developed, once Second Elder returns, our Shadow Hall can emerge into the world."

Xu Xin spoke excitedly. It was time for the fourth great power of Douluo Continent to appear, time for the continent's balance of power to change.

"Good. We've finally waited for this day." Dugu Xin spoke excitedly. They were all one of their own, and the growth of their own faction was naturally something worth celebrating.

A Yin was also very happy. After all, this was a faction she had founded together with that little fellow, and it felt rather nice.

This was the most interesting thing she had done since taking human form. It seemed humans were not so difficult to get along with after all.

What A Yin did not know was that if she had encountered anyone else, they would have killed her in minutes to obtain her Soul Ring.

Not long afterward, Dugu Bo returned in high spirits. The moment he saw Dugu Yan, he happily went over and picked her up.

His breakthrough to the rank of Title Douluo was no longer important. His precious granddaughter mattered more.

Xu Xin could only sigh helplessly at the sight. This granddaughter-obsessed fool was truly beyond saving.

After Dugu Bo returned, news of Shadow Hall's power swept like a tide into the ears of the various major factions.

Xu Xin also dispatched Claw Shadow Soldiers to deliver invitations to the major factions.

Sending out invitations with a Claw Shadow Soldier at the Title Douluo level was surely more than enough to show their sincerity.

It also served as a form of intimidation.

Look at us—we have a vast foundation. Even our messengers are Title Douluos.

And the content of those invitations was the sale of medicinal pills!
