As Xue Qinghe was leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a phantom-like figure suddenly flashed into view.
An elderly man appeared beside Xue Qinghe. His face was stern, his eyes profound, and powerful Soul Power fluctuations radiated from his body. He was Snake Spear Elder.
"Snake Spear Elder, do you think the person behind the creation of Soul Ring Pavilion can truly only extract Hundred Year and Thousand Year Soul Rings?"
Xue Qinghe asked with a frown. He had been pondering the matter of Soul Ring Pavilion all along the way.
Yet he always had a bad feeling, as though everything before him was merely superficial.
An absurd thought even arose in his mind: perhaps that person could extract Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, or even Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings.
But at the thought of such a terrifying possibility, Xue Qinghe could not help but shudder.
He knew well that if someone could truly extract Soul Rings of such high levels, then their Martial Soul had to be a God-tier Martial Soul.
But across the entire Douluo Continent, as far as he knew, only the Six-Winged Angel was a God-tier Martial Soul. Just who was the person behind Soul Ring Pavilion?
"I'm not sure. How about we report this to the Grand Elder and have him assign people to investigate Soul Ring Pavilion's background?"
Snake Spear Elder shook his head. His face was equally filled with confusion. He too felt uneasy about this suddenly risen Soul Ring Pavilion.
"Don't tell Grandfather for now, lest we alert the enemy. Besides, Soul Ring Pavilion is at the heart of the Heaven Dou Empire. I'll investigate it myself."
Xue Qinghe rejected Snake Spear Elder's suggestion, determination gleaming in his eyes.
A monk may run, but the temple cannot.
Since Soul Ring Pavilion had been established within the Heaven Dou Empire, then as the empire's crown prince, he had more than enough time and resources to investigate it thoroughly.
He would lift the mysterious veil behind Soul Ring Pavilion and see what secrets and powers it truly concealed.
Filled with doubts yet firm in his resolve, Xue Qinghe set off on the road back to the imperial palace.
In another corner of Douluo Continent, Ling Feng prepared to head to Sunset Forest and make plans for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Zhao Yun, come with me to Sunset Forest. We will search for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
Ling Feng strode out of his room with firm steps and spoke to Zhao Yun at his side.
Zhao Yun bowed slightly and clasped his fists. "As you command, my lord!"
In less than half an hour, Ling Feng and Zhao Yun successfully arrived at the outskirts of Sunset Forest.
As early as yesterday, Ling Feng had used Zhao Yun's overwhelming strength to locate the exact position of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Now, they slowly headed deeper into the forest along the route they had planned beforehand.
As they gradually entered the depths of Sunset Forest, Soul Beasts began appearing more and more frequently.
Every one of these Soul Beasts was immensely powerful, each radiating an aura that sent chills down one's spine.
Along the way, they even encountered several Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts in succession.
The moment Zhao Yun slightly released an aura comparable to that of a Limit Douluo, the situation instantly reversed.
Those originally vicious Soul Beasts seemed to feel terror rising from the depths of their souls. They scattered in panic and vanished into the dense forest.
In the world of Douluo Continent, even a powerful Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would rather avoid fighting an expert with the strength of a Limit Douluo.
"Could this be the legendary Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"
Ling Feng and Zhao Yun slowly came to a stop. Before them lay a hidden valley.
The valley was tightly concealed beneath layer upon layer of lush vegetation.
If one did not observe carefully, it would be nearly impossible to discover that this seemingly ordinary valley concealed the most mysterious Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well on Douluo Continent.
Ling Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and focused on sensing the surrounding aura.
He clearly detected faint traces of poisonous gas mixed into the air.
He understood that this was likely the Poison Array Dugu Bo had carefully set up to hide the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Based on the current timeline, Ling Feng surmised that Poison Douluo Dugu Bo had probably not yet become a Titled Douluo.
Although this Poison Array was indeed an insurmountable barrier for ordinary visiting Soul Masters and could effectively block their path, in the eyes of an expert like Zhao Yun, it was not worth mentioning.
"Zhao Yun, I'll leave this Poison Array to you!"
Ling Feng turned to Zhao Yun, a hint of helplessness in his tone.
With his current strength, he was still unable to destroy this complex and sturdy Poison Array.
"Yes, my lord!"
Zhao Yun replied respectfully, determination and confidence shining in his eyes.
The next moment, Soul Power surged around Zhao Yun's body. An immense force of Soul Power, powerful enough to shake heaven and earth, instantly blasted forward.
The Poison Array, which had appeared incomparably sturdy and intimidating, was directly shattered beneath the fierce impact of that overwhelming force.
As the Poison Array broke apart, a powerful force rapidly spread outward from the valley.
Wherever this force passed, nearby trees were uprooted, massive boulders were shattered, and the area was left in utter ruin.
The Soul Beasts in the area were also frightened out of their wits by this sudden burst of powerful Soul Power, fleeing wildly in every direction.
Just as Ling Feng had Zhao Yun break the surrounding Poison Array, Dugu Bo, who was within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, seemed as if a sensitive nerve had been touched.
He immediately sensed the disturbance outside.
Boom!
His body, which had been calmly cultivating, suddenly trembled. Boundless poisonous gas poured from him in every direction like an uncontrolled flood.
The power contained within this poisonous gas was so immense that the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well fell into violent tremors.
The flowers, grass, and trees in the valley instantly withered beneath the corrosion of the poisonous gas.
"Who dares trespass into my territory without permission!"
Dugu Bo's heart burned with rage. He could clearly sense that the strength of those outside was far from ordinary.
Yet as the master of this territory, how could he tolerate others violating it so wantonly?
Moreover, this Soul Power aura had clearly been released by human Soul Masters. As a proud Soul Douluo, when had Dugu Bo ever suffered such provocation in Sunset Forest?
If word got out, where would he put his old face? What would remain of his reputation across Douluo Continent?
Whoosh!
At that thought, Dugu Bo could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. His entire body became a streak of light and vanished from where he stood.
Moments later, a man in green robes appeared before Ling Feng. His long green hair billowed freely in the wind.
His entire body seemed enveloped by a thick layer of poisonous gas. As he approached, the flowers, grass, and trees around him began to wither.
"Who are you? Why did you destroy the Poison Array I set up?"
Only then did Dugu Bo truly take notice of the two people before him. He narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of vigilance in his gaze.
Unless something unexpected had happened, these two were the culprits about to trespass upon his territory.
