"No need. Let us watch how things unfold."
Ye Han still decided not to fight for it and shook his head.
"When the time is right, I will act personally."
With the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well exposed, Dugu Bo would definitely move the Immortal Herbs at the first opportunity.
As for the remaining spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the Dragon King Remains buried below, there was no need to worry.
The Cold Extreme Yin Spring and Blazing Yang Spring possessed extreme attributes. Even the strongest outsiders would not dare touch them lightly.
No matter which faction occupied them, they could not take them away. At most, they could plant herbs and cultivate nearby.
"Yes, everything shall follow City Lord's arrangements."
Shangguan Wan'er had always obeyed Ye Han without question. Though she had thoughts of her own, she did not intend to say more.
Suddenly, a rolling peal of thunder rang out, accompanied by wildly surging, terrifying lightning.
"Rumble—"
A tall figure clad in dark armor descended amid the lightning, like a Heavenly God arriving in the world.
The surrounding air was instantly stirred into unrest by the force of that lightning, exuding boundless dominance and majesty.
"Lord Sikong, why have you come?"
Shangguan Wan'er's expression shifted slightly.
That was none other than Lao Da Sikong Zhen from Honor of Kings.
He possessed the God Level Martial Soul, the Five Thunder Tremor Drum, and was a power-attack Title Douluo known as Thunder!
He was currently Chang'an City's third-in-command, born alongside Ye Han's strongest Ninth Soul Ring.
Thus, he was one of Chang'an's strongest combatants, possessing the strength of a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo!
"I have come for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."
Sikong Zhen's voice rolled forth like thunder as he respectfully addressed Ye Han.
"City Lord, Zhen believes we should act at once, seize the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and bring it back for Chang'an's use!"
Ye Han said nothing and merely glanced at Shangguan Wan'er beside him.
Shangguan Wan'er immediately understood and repeated what Ye Han had just said.
She had accompanied Ye Han the longest and had already guessed why he did not wish to go, so she explained it as well.
Once she finished, Ye Han spoke calmly and added casually,
"Unless you can give me a reasonable reason that moves me."
Sikong Zhen's gaze was resolute as his thunderous voice suddenly rang out.
"Zhen believes that relocating such an unrivaled treasure basin to Chang'an would allow its dual-polar forces to hasten the growth of herbs and benefit Chang'an's people. If it falls into the hands of another faction, unforeseen changes are highly likely to arise. We should bring it under our control at once!"
"Furthermore, although its extreme dual-polar forces do not share the same origin as the lightning essence of Zhen's Five Thunder Tremor Drum Martial Soul, they can corroborate one another. Thunder is yang, lightning is yin. The Blazing Yang Spring can amplify the dominance of lightning, while the Cold Extreme Yin Spring can cleanse the violence within it, allowing Zhen to advance even further!"
"Chang'an's exposure is already inevitable. Zhen must become stronger and protect Chang'an for a thousand autumns and ten thousand years!"
Shangguan Wan'er found his words reasonable and could not help parting her red lips.
"City Lord, Wan'er also believes we should take control of it as soon as possible. For Chang'an, it is a double opportunity: it can strengthen the foundation of the people's livelihood and enhance our combat strength."
Ye Han shook his head helplessly, but finally agreed.
"Very well. We shall do as you say. Wan'er, summon Hua Mulan and Kai to see me."
As the lord of a city, Ye Han naturally would not personally act on a whim.
It was fine to have him recruit ordinary soul beasts, but competing for treasures and doing tiring work was another matter entirely.
Before Shangguan Wan'er could respond, Sikong Zhen spoke first.
"City Lord, Zhen wishes to go personally!"
Shangguan Wan'er froze briefly before asking,
"Lord Sikong, are you going alone? Do you need anyone to accompany you?"
Sikong Zhen shook his head, his voice rumbling like thunder.
"Zhen alone is enough!"
With one of Chang'an's strongest combatants going personally, Ye Han felt it was rather like using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
"Then so be it. I will first forge a container for you that can relocate the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."
As his words fell, Ye Han brought his hands together and summoned the Ark Core Martial Soul.
As the Ark Core Martial Soul appeared, Ye Han's aura instantly changed.
At this moment, he was like a creator who forged all things and controlled the laws of the world!
Nine dazzling soul rings rose one after another: red, red, red, red, red, red, red, red, gold!
The Ark Core Martial Soul did not need to hunt soul rings. These soul rings had condensed on their own once he reached certain levels.
Among the nine companion heroes, Sikong Zhen was the only one with a God Level Martial Soul because the Ninth Soul Ring was gold.
If the other soul rings later advanced to gold as well, perhaps the quality of the other heroes' Martial Souls would improve too.
Moreover, the Ark Core Martial Soul had two passive abilities—or rather, two domains.
One of them was the Universal Divine Sense Domain, which granted an additional 200% vision and attack range.
After its base range was amplified, Ye Han could take in every movement within and outside Chang'an City.
Shangguan Wan'er instinctively took half a step back.
She had seen it countless times already, yet she was still shaken by that indescribable aura!
Reverence also flashed instinctively through Sikong Zhen's eyes.
The extreme lightning power of his Five Thunder Tremor Drum seemed as insignificant as dust before the law power of the Ark Core!
"Second Soul Skill, Divine Radiance: Fusion!"
Ye Han's second soul ring lit up. This soul skill was roughly similar to Nuwa's second skill in Honor of Kings.
It formed a massive square phantom space. It could not block attacks, but it could obstruct and intercept every living being deemed an enemy from passing through.
The number of spatial blocks created and the time before they dissipated increased with Soul Power, and he could control these blocks to collide with one another and expand explosively!
"Buzz—"
Ye Han shrank the spatial block he had created to the size of a palm and said majestically,
"Sikong Zhen, once you reach the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, simply place this at the center of the spring. It will draw the spring water inside, compress it, and seal it away."
"Besides that, bring back the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings buried ten thousand zhang beneath the earth as well. Those are the truly most valuable things!"
Sikong Zhen stepped forward and received the floating spatial block with both hands, his voice like muffled thunder.
"Zhen will not fail this mission!!"
With that, Sikong Zhen transformed into a streak of lightning and shot into the sky, vanishing beyond the horizon in an instant.
Shangguan Wan'er watched the fading trail of lightning in the sky, then slowly looked toward the golden Sky Screen and said softly,
"With Lord Sikong going personally, this trip will surely proceed smoothly. Next, I wonder which faction will make the list?"
Suotuo City, Shrek Academy.
"This world actually has an Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well too!"
Tang San looked at the content revealed by the Sky Screen and blurted out in astonishment.
"Huh, Little San, you know about it? How did you know?"
Ma Hongjun and the others immediately gathered around him and asked with curious faces.
Tang San's heart tightened. He had accidentally let it slip and had no idea how to explain himself.
Zhao Wuji guessed,
"Grandmaster must have told him, right? After all, Grandmaster knows everything."
As soon as he said this, everyone's gazes focused on Yu Xiaogang.
After Yu Xiaogang froze for a moment, he assumed his usual arrogant expression and cleared his throat.
"That is correct. It is merely an Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. How could this Grandmaster possibly not know about it?"
Hearing this, Tang San nodded repeatedly as though he had seen a savior.
He shifted the entire matter onto Yu Xiaogang, avoiding the exposure of his secret of having lived two lives.
Ma Hongjun and the others immediately revealed enlightened expressions and crowded around Yu Xiaogang to press him further.
"Grandmaster, what is the difference between the Immortal Herbs nurtured by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and ordinary medicinal herbs?"
The arrogant smile on Yu Xiaogang's face instantly froze, and he fell into an awkward panic.
