The terrifying aura of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts directly alarmed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in Heaven Dou City, as well as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect not too far from the city.
The auras of four Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts placed immense pressure on Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Even with Ning Fengzhi and Dugu Bo, the renowned Soul Douluo of Heaven Dou City, the two of them would find it difficult to defeat four Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!
But they had no choice but to go. This concerned the safety of Heaven Dou City and the surrounding areas.
This was the unavoidable responsibility of Titled Douluo! Within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo was somewhat nervous as well.
His son had been frail since birth, and only through the suppression of his poison arts had the toxins in his body been kept at bay.
His daughter-in-law was also pregnant.
Dugu Bo's most urgent task now was to protect this child—whether grandson or granddaughter—and ensure they were born safely.
Otherwise, his family line would end! Dugu Bo himself had lost the ability to have more children, and it seemed his son might have lost that ability as well! The child in his daughter-in-law's womb was the Dugu Family's hope! This sudden incident left Dugu Bo unable to stay out of it.
After all, Qian Yunxiao had come for his Sunset Forest.
Together with Yu Yuanzhen, Heaven Dou Empire now had three Titled Douluo, as well as Ning Fengzhi, the "Number One Support in the World," and Dugu Bo, the strongest beneath Titled Douluo.
The five of them began preparing together to face the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts brought by Qian Yunxiao.
When they arrived before Qian Yunxiao, all five of them were dumbfounded.
What had they just seen? A Sky Azure Bull Python at the level of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was actually pulling a carriage! A Titan Giant Ape followed behind it, while an Ice Empress sat atop the carriage! What kind of being could make Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts pull a carriage for him? They had simply never heard of such a thing!
Not even Spirit Hall likely enjoyed such treatment, right? "You must be the Titled Douluo of the Heaven Dou Empire."
At that moment, Qian Yunxiao stepped out of the carriage and took the initiative to speak.
"So it is Second Highness. May I ask what Second Highness is... doing here?"
Qian Yunxiao had at least a little fame on the Douluo Continent.
At the very least, quite a few people recognized him.
Among them, Ning Fengzhi was the one who questioned Qian Yunxiao.
"Sect Master Ning, there is no need to be nervous. These are all my friends, and we mean no harm. We merely intend to live nearby, in Sunset Forest."
Qian Yunxiao looked at Ning Fengzhi and answered confidently.
He truly had the strength to wipe out the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with ease.
But Qian Yunxiao was a man who loved peace.
He intended to resolve matters gradually through peaceful means.
Besides, several gods were still watching over the Douluo Continent.
He should not get too arrogant just yet.
At the very least, he had to wait until he possessed the strength to contend with a First-Rank God, or even a Main God, before becoming completely inflated.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Ice Empress, then Daming and Erming, before incredulously replying, "Fr... friends?"
Qian Yunxiao was the Second Highness of Spirit Hall, yet he was friends with Soul Beasts? "I am no longer part of Spirit Hall, so I plan to settle down nearby and establish my own family. Surely you gentlemen will not stand in my way?"
Qian Yunxiao looked at the Titled Douluo, his tone exceptionally arrogant.
There were three Titled Douluo among them.
Chen Xin was level ninety-five, Gu Rong level ninety-three, and Yu Yuanzhen level ninety-five.
Then there was Dugu Bo, at level eighty-eight.
This lineup facing Qian Yunxiao was undoubtedly like eggs striking a stone.
"I see. Then, on behalf of the Heaven Dou Empire, we naturally welcome Second Highness's arrival."
Ning Fengzhi was the sharpest-minded among them.
He also feared that this was a scheme by Spirit Hall, intended to drive Qian Yunxiao like a nail into the heart of the Heaven Dou Empire, then deal the empire a fatal blow at a crucial moment.
But they had no choice. There were simply too many powerful figures gathered around Qian Yunxiao! Even if the Upper Three Sects joined forces, they might not be able to take down Qian Yunxiao.
For now, they could only placate Qian Yunxiao and make plans for the long term! The two Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect followed Ning Fengzhi in all things, so naturally they had no objections.
Yu Yuanzhen also knew of Ning Fengzhi's wisdom and did not disagree.
Dugu Bo had never wanted to make this matter worse.
Now that it could be resolved peacefully, Dugu Bo was naturally even happier.
"Then I must thank Sect Master Ning!"
Qian Yunxiao's attitude was also very good.
Since it was not a major matter, Ning Fengzhi and the others prepared to return and calm the people.
"Second Highness, I only hope that these friends of yours can remain peaceful, lest they cause panic among the people of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Before leaving, Ning Fengzhi still offered Qian Yunxiao a reminder.
Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts represented Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.
Countless people yearned for Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings.
But now, with four Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings laid out before them, not a single one of them dared make a move.
Qian Yunxiao promised, "Rest assured, Sect Master Ning. Once my friends arrive in Sunset Forest, they'll keep to themselves and won't cause the empire any trouble."
With Qian Yunxiao putting it that way, Ning Fengzhi and Yu Yuanzhen felt somewhat more at ease.
But Dugu Bo was puzzled.
Sunset Forest? Were they planning to become his neighbors?
With such powerful and terrifying neighbors, Dugu Bo would never be able to sit still.
But did Dugu Bo dare say anything now?
"Poison Douluo, wait!"
Just as Dugu Bo was planning to leave with Ning Fengzhi and the others, while also considering whether he ought to move away, Qian Yunxiao spoke up.
Dugu Bo stopped and replied, "Second Highness, what is this...?"
Qian Yunxiao answered frankly, "I've heard that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well where you reside is a treasure ground. I intend to use it as the foundation of my family. Would Poison Douluo be willing to part with it?"
That one sentence made Dugu Bo explode.
They wanted to seize his territory? Dugu Bo had indeed considered moving.
But it was only a thought!
He had spent decades cultivating all kinds of medicinal herbs at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
It was also thanks to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's unique conditions that he had been able to cultivate to the Soul Douluo level, with hope of reaching Titled Douluo.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would also be of immense help to the cultivation of his descendants.
If he moved, he would suffer a tremendous loss.
Dugu Bo had merely hesitated over whether to move; deep down, he still did not want to leave.
And even if he did move, that would be Dugu Bo's own decision.
There was a world of difference between moving away on his own and being driven out by Qian Yunxiao!
"Second Highness, aren't you going too far?"
Dugu Bo was furious.
But he could only show the slightest trace of it.
Because if they truly fell out, he would be the one to suffer.
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Yu Yuanzhen also stopped, intending to see what was going on.
Qian Yunxiao trying to seize Dugu Bo's territory was indeed rather improper!
They were all from the same country, and they could be considered half-friends with Dugu Bo.
When faced with an issue of such grave principle, Ning Fengzhi and the others would naturally stand with Dugu Bo.
