Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Take Action!

With Dugu Yan's guidance, even with Dugu Bo far behind them, they could still find the right area.

The layered forest sped wildly backward beneath their feet.

By now, Dugu Yan had gradually adapted.

Her little hands, which had been clenched tight before, had relaxed, and her long, fair legs swayed gently.

They were traveling at a speed even Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, could hardly match, yet she felt no bumps whatsoever.

If not for the forest below and the endless clouds rapidly receding around them, Dugu Yan might have thought she was sitting on a bench at home.

Truly astonishing!

Dugu Yan marveled inwardly.

Her beautiful eyes could not help drifting to the side.

The white-clad young nobleman's snow-white hair was tied into a high ponytail, with a single strand hanging by his cheek. He stood straight as a pine atop the long sword, his hands clasped behind his back.

His silver eyes looked ahead, their divine light obscure and unfathomable, like a deep, secluded pool that stirred an irresistible urge to probe its depths.

No matter how many times she thought about it,

Dugu Yan still found it dreamlike that this White-clad Sword Immortal was around her age—or perhaps even younger.

The world was startled by this guest, suspecting he had descended from Jade Capital.

Of all the elegance beneath heaven, the white-clad figure before her surely claimed eight parts!

As she stared blankly in a daze, a cool, even voice abruptly brought Dugu Yan back to her senses.

"Miss Dugu, it should be down below, right?"

Her cheeks flushing slightly, Dugu Yan hastily looked away and glanced downward. The scenery below had already changed drastically.

Seven-colored Poison Mist shrouded an entire area.

Within the verdant Sunset Forest, it looked like a Seven-colored Gem embedded into the landscape.

"Yes, this is the place." Dugu Yan nodded with certainty.

"But this poisonous barrier is quite troublesome. I'm afraid..."

Her words abruptly stopped halfway through.

Dugu Yan, who had wanted to warn Luo Li about the danger of the poisonous barrier below, suddenly remembered that the man before her could breathe calmly even within the Jade Phosphor Purple Poison she took such pride in.

Warning him of the poisonous barrier's danger would have been rather unnecessary.

After receiving Dugu Yan's confirmation, Luo Li guided the twin swords downward and plunged into the seven-colored mist.

Within the mist, piles of stark white bones lay scattered everywhere.

They were the remains left behind by soul beasts and soul masters who had accidentally entered this place.

Yet the lethal poisonous barrier could not affect Luo Li and Dugu Yan in the slightest.

The terrifying poison, which clung like maggots to bone, instantly melted away upon touching Soul Power imbued with the Sun Eclipse Sword's supreme sacred attribute.

"..."

Dugu Yan pressed her red lips together.

Although she knew that even her grandfather's poison was useless against the man before her, seeing it with her own eyes still made her feel strange.

For poison cultivators like them, this was simply an immense blow.

If Luo Li had not been the only known exception, Dugu Yan might have considered whether she ought to choose another path.

The poisonous barrier's encircling protective screen served no purpose at all.

Following the direction Dugu Yan indicated, the two soon left the range of the poisonous barrier.

The blinding mist dispersed.

An entirely different scene unfolded before them.

The cliffs enclosed the area like a basin, and all sorts of strange flowers and exotic herbs grew across them.

At the center of the basin's floor lay an extraordinarily strange pool where blue and red waters intertwined.

A faint mist floated above it, drifting in wisps like an immortal realm.

"This is Grandpa's Herb Garden," Dugu Yan introduced softly.

She did not know much about this place, but from the pride Dugu Bo displayed whenever he mentioned it, she could roughly tell how precious this Herb Garden was.

"Grandpa may need some time to arrive. Dean Luo can rest inside for a while first."

Dugu Bo's residence within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had been built atop the cliffs.

It was not luxurious, merely a small two-story courtyard made of wood.

Compared to the residences of those Soul Saints and Soul Emperors from soul master clans, each more extravagant than the last, this Titled Douluo's dwelling seemed somewhat out of place.

Dugu Yan had clearly grown up here and did not disdain its simplicity just because she was the granddaughter of a Titled Douluo.

She took the initiative to bring Luo Li a stool, then fetched some of Dugu Bo's treasured tea leaves from his study and brewed him tea.

Judging from his behavior at the Heaven Dou Teahouse, Luo Li seemed to enjoy tea.

Dugu Yan remembered that Tea Grandpa seemed to treasure this tea greatly. It was surely no ordinary thing, and Dean Luo might like it.

"Mhm."

Luo Li accepted the tea and took a light sip.

The tea's fragrance pierced his senses. It entered bitter, then instantly turned sweet.

Warmth seeped into his bones, a spring seemed to bubble beneath his tongue, and his throat felt cool and refreshed.

It was even better than the tea at the Heaven Dou Teahouse.

"Excellent tea," Luo Li praised softly.

Hearing this, Dugu Yan smiled and explained, "These are Grandpa's treasured tea leaves. I'm glad Dean Luo likes them."

"Unfortunately, there's only this much. Otherwise, Dean Luo could have taken some back with him."

The corner of Luo Li's mouth twitched slightly.

So this little snake girl had taken out all of Dugu Bo's limited stash of treasured tea leaves?

As someone who loved tea, Luo Li could imagine how Dugu Bo would feel once he found out.

He poured himself another cup.

Since it had already been brewed, it could not go to waste.

Dugu Bo was a Titled Douluo, after all. Though he was slower than Luo Li when traveling, the difference was not especially vast.

Before long, a green figure descended from the sky.

"Is Your Majesty drinking tea?"

Dugu Bo noticed Luo Li savoring his tea.

It seemed he had indeed arrived somewhat late.

With a mischievous smile, Dugu Yan answered, "Grandpa, your tea is really good. Even Dean Luo praised it."

Without thinking, Dugu Bo said, "If King Frost Extreme likes it, he may take it back with him."

"That was what I thought too," Dugu Yan replied.

"Unfortunately, there's only that much. I wonder whether Dean Luo would like the other teas."

At those words, Dugu Bo's eye twitched. "Yan Yan, where did you get that tea?"

Dugu Yan answered frankly, "From that Jade Porcelain Container you kept in the box, Grandpa."

Dugu Bo's heart jolted.

His last remaining stash!

This stuff was priceless and unavailable on the market. It took decades just to obtain this little.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Dugu Bo said nothing despite the ache in his heart.

Luo Li had resolved the threat to their lives. It was only some tea leaves; it was only right.

"Since Poison Douluo has arrived as well, let us begin," Luo Li said calmly, setting down his teacup.

"Who will go first?"

Without hesitation, Dugu Bo stepped forward first.

Though he trusted Luo Li, he still needed to experience it himself before he could truly feel at ease.

Luo Li did not mind. He only needed to fulfill what he had promised.

A longsword engraved with a solar pattern appeared in his hand.

Luo Li rose to his feet and grasped the sword hilt with one hand.

The next moment, the sword tip, glowing with faint golden light, appeared against Dugu Bo's chest.

"It may hurt a little," he warned softly.

"Please proceed without concern, Your Majesty," Dugu Bo said indifferently.

Pain?

Because of the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor Poison, he had suffered pain for countless years already!

Seeing this, Luo Li activated his Soul Power.

A brilliant golden sword radiance surged from the tip of the Sun Eclipse Sword into Dugu Bo's chest.

At this moment, Solar Holy Radiance, Sun Eclipse!
