Electrolux's voice brought a smile to Lin Xiao's face after his long wait.
Du Busi must have been itching to get going by now, too.
Upon hearing Electrolux's words, Lin Xiao hurried toward the palace where Du Busi was staying.
Before Lin Xiao could even step through the door, Du Busi came running out. "Xiao, are we heading to that place?"
Du Busi's eyes were already brimming with excitement. He wished he could grab Lin Xiao and rush straight to Sunset Forest.
Lin Xiao smiled and nodded. He had known Du Busi was eager to go, but he had not expected him to be this excited.
"Hahaha! Come on, let's go! I've already bought a map."
Laughing, Du Busi took out a map of Sunset Forest and handed it to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao shook his head. "Teacher, this map probably won't help. We'll have to find it ourselves."
"If it were on the map, someone would have discovered it long ago."
Du Busi gave an awkward smile. That did seem to be the case. The place was clearly well hidden and protected, too. But why had he never heard of it?
It would have been strange if Du Busi had heard of it. That place was now Tang San's forbidden domain. Anyone other than him would have a hard time finding it.
That disgusting bastard really did things that turned the stomach.
It had clearly belonged to Dugu Bo, yet in the end, he had not left him a single benefit.
Tang San: What a joke. Wasn't curing his poison a benefit? That was already a gift from me!
That was precisely why Tang San's divine sense might be present in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, and why Lin Xiao was worried.
"Come on, let's go find it right now."
Du Busi grabbed Lin Xiao with one hand. Soul power surged around him, and he shot off with a whoosh.
The Heaven Dou Empire had originally emerged from the division of the former Heaven Dou Empire, and Sunset Forest still lay within its borders.
But Sunset Forest no longer enjoyed its former prosperity. Compared with Star Dou Great Forest, the Extreme North, and Demonic Forest, it fell far short.
It was precisely Sunset Forest's decline that had made the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well so safe.
Otherwise, it would never have produced so many hundred-thousand-year immortal herbs.
Du Busi was immensely powerful. In half a day, the two arrived at Sunset Forest.
"Xiao, I can't sense any threats here."
As soon as he landed, Du Busi released his spirit power to scout the area. In his eyes, this place seemed rather pathetic.
Lin Xiao naturally understood. Even ten thousand years ago, Sunset Forest had not been as dangerous as Star Dou Great Forest.
That was all the more true now that it had declined further.
"Teacher, that's exactly why that place is safe."
Lin Xiao spoke calmly.
"Let's go. According to you, that place is surrounded by a poison source, right?"
Du Busi looked at Lin Xiao and led him forward.
As they walked, Lin Xiao asked, "More or less. Teacher, can you use the toxins inside your body to sense that poison source?"
Du Busi's martial soul had a poison attribute. In theory, he should have been able to, right?
Du Busi shook his head. "Your teacher hasn't reached that level yet."
Thinking about it, that made sense. If he were that capable, Du Busi would probably have discovered it long ago.
The two said no more and headed deeper into Sunset Forest.
The farther they went, the more uneasy Du Busi felt. It was the premonition of a powerful expert.
"Xiao, I feel something truly terrifying in there."
Du Busi's expression grew grave, and he became increasingly certain that Lin Xiao was right.
On the surface, Sunset Forest seemed utterly desolate, but it actually harbored something tremendously terrifying. Only now did Du Busi sense it.
Lin Xiao nodded slightly. That place was full of hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. How could it not be formidable?
Sunset Forest was only so large. Guided by Du Busi's powerful premonition, the two finally found the place after three days.
Poisonous mist filled the surroundings, its toxicity incredibly potent. The corpses of soul beasts of all sizes littered the area. Some had only half their bodies left, as though something had eaten them.
Du Busi lightly touched the poisonous mist, and a powerful toxin rapidly flooded into his body.
Du Busi shuddered, then instantly refined the toxin.
"Xiao, this place really might allow me to condense another soul core."
"But I can't guarantee it."
Du Busi spoke after a moment's thought. The toxins here were powerful, and they seemed to grow stronger the farther in one went. Given enough time, it was possible.
Lin Xiao nodded. He did not touch the poisonous mist. The poison was powerful, but it feared the cold. Extreme ice was its bane, so Lin Xiao was not afraid.
"Xiao Xiaozi, there's a divine sense in here, but it's still dormant. It doesn't seem as strong as I imagined."
"The moment I act, he'll awaken."
Old Medicine's voice rang out in Lin Xiao's mind.
Old Medicine had expected the other party's divine sense to be very powerful, but after sensing it now, it did not seem quite so formidable.
"But I'm worried his true body will intervene."
Old Medicine was extremely cautious. Even after sensing that wisp of divine sense, he did not act rashly. He still had reservations.
Lin Xiao wholeheartedly agreed. The Divine Realm supposedly could not interfere with the Douluo Continent, but had that God King scumbag committed any shortage of disgusting deeds?
What hadn't he meddled in? Heh, nothing but hypocrisy.
"To be safe, I'll strike with everything I have in a moment. Xiao Xiaozi, tell Du Busi to get ready."
Old Medicine's voice grew solemn. He was already prepared to unleash his full power.
Lin Xiao replied, "Understood, Teacher."
After answering Old Medicine in his mind, Lin Xiao turned to Du Busi. "Teacher, we need to get ready."
"The moment my teacher acts, he'll stir that divine sense."
Du Busi nodded solemnly, already poised to act. He was also waiting to see how Lin Xiao's teacher would strike.
Lin Xiao knew that once Tang San's divine sense was destroyed, Tang San in the Divine Realm would undoubtedly fly into a rage.
The consequences would also be extremely serious.
Those two bootlicking beasts in the Clear Sky Sect, Ah Yin inside the Golden Ancient Tree, Tang Hao, who was preparing to devour the plane consciousness, that person on Sea God Island... and, more importantly, Shrek.
When Lin Xiao tallied them up, Shrek, Ah Yin, and Tang Hao actually seemed to pose the least danger.
Tang Hao did not dare act recklessly. Ah Yin was still trying to devour the consciousness inside the Golden Ancient Tree, while Mu En was half dead and still had to guard Shrek.
After this, they would have to see what moves the Clear Sky Sect and Sea God Island made.
Du Busi nodded to Lin Xiao. The two exchanged a glance, both their eyes filled with excitement and caution.
Lin Xiao spoke to Old Medicine in his mind. "Teacher, we're ready."
Inside the ring, Electrolux looked at Old Medicine. "Old Medicine, don't drop the ball now."
Old Medicine rolled his eyes at him. Ever since recovering, this fellow had been hanging around with the Ice Empress. Who knew whether the old bastard had some peculiar tastes?
In an instant, white mist spread, and an elderly man with the bearing of an immortal suddenly appeared above the poisonous mist.
The moment Old Medicine appeared, a terrifying pressure erupted from within the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Who's there?!"
A startled cry rang out from within.
A cold sneer appeared on Old Medicine's face!
