The Immortal Herb Code? I Choose to Take It by Force!

Yu Tianheng's eyes instantly reddened.

Not from grief.

But from fury.

The kind of rage that came from being ground beneath someone's heel, with every shred of dignity crushed away!

Love?

There really wasn't much of it!

"I'll kill you—"

Yu Tianheng struggled to get to his feet, Soul Power surging wildly through his body.

But forcing his Soul Power through his grievously injured body only made him cough up a mouthful of blood.

Jiang Ming did not look at him again.

Teleportation.

His figure vanished from where he stood.

Dugu Yan vanished with him.

Yu Tianheng knelt on the ground, staring fixedly in the direction Jiang Ming had disappeared!

Ma.

Hong.

Jun.

He would carve that name into his bones.

Half an hour later.

West of Heaven Dou City.

An abandoned cellar.

Jiang Ming placed Dugu Yan on the ground and took a wrist-thick iron chain from his ring.

He had bought the chain on the way.

Ordinary iron.

Not a trace of Soul Power imbued within it.

Jiang Ming used the chain to give Dugu Yan a Tortoise Shell Binding.

The very proper kind of binding!

Then he secured the other end of the chain to an iron ring on the wall.

An ordinary iron chain truly was useless against high-level Soul Masters.

But for a control-type Soul Elder with an average physique and no offensive power...

At the very least, it could keep her quiet for several days!

A few days were enough for Jiang Ming to clear out the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Three links, one delivery!

The moment Jiang Ming finished all this, Dugu Yan woke up.

Her first reaction upon opening her eyes was to struggle.

The iron chain clattered, scraping against the stone wall and scattering a trail of sparks.

Once Dugu Yan saw her situation clearly, she immediately felt terrible.

A cellar, iron chains, darkness, cold dampness...

And a young man standing before her.

Put all those factors together, and all sorts of unpleasant thoughts immediately surfaced in her mind.

"My grandfather won't let you get away with this!"

Dugu Yan's voice sounded sharp, but she was putting on a brave front!

"That's exactly what I want—him refusing to let me get away with it!"

"Otherwise, how could I lure the snake out of its hole?"

Jiang Ming looked straight into Dugu Yan's eyes, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly.

"What do you mean?"

Dugu Yan's pupils abruptly contracted.

"I came for your grandfather."

"Your grandfather is a very useful thug."

Jiang Ming took two unhurried steps through the cellar.

"What did you say?"

Dugu Yan froze for a moment, thinking she had misheard him.

"There aren't many people in the entire Soul Master world who have reached the rank of Titled Douluo."

"Your grandfather is a resource. It would be a waste not to use him."

Jiang Ming turned around and looked at Dugu Yan.

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

Dugu Yan looked at him as though he were a madman.

Use a Titled Douluo?

And treat a Titled Douluo as some kind of resource?

"Your grandfather has another treasure—the herb garden in Sunset Forest."

"That herb garden has a name: the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

"You should know that place!"

Jiang Ming lowered his voice slightly.

"How do you know about that place?"

Dugu Yan's face was full of disbelief.

The herb garden in Sunset Forest?

Wasn't that just an ordinary place?

But how did Jiang Ming know about it?

Had he been there before?

What was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?

Why was the herb garden called a treasure?

"Your grandfather's Poison Arrays keep others out, but to me, they might as well not exist."

The corner of Jiang Ming's mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.

Space Shift.

It could pass directly through any barrier.

A wall of poison?

What was that supposed to be?

"Who exactly are you?!"

"Why did you capture me? What are you trying to do?!"

Fear finally appeared in Dugu Yan's eyes.

Not fear of a person.

But fear of the unknown.

This person knew everything about her grandfather—his personality, his treasure, all of it.

And his trump cards...

She knew absolutely nothing about them!

"I already told you. Because of my message, your grandfather will go to Suotuo City to find someone named Ma Hongjun."

"Once that old venomous snake leaves his hole, I'll head to Sunset Forest!"

"Once I'm done, you'll be free!"

"It should take about two days!"

Jiang Ming looked at Dugu Yan, his gaze as calm as a stagnant pool.

"You're going to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well? You want to steal my grandfather's herbs?"

Dugu Yan gritted her teeth and glared viciously at Jiang Ming.

"Not steal."

"Harvest."

"How can ownerless herbs be called stealing?"

Jiang Ming corrected her.

"My grandfather won't let you get away with this! He won't let you get away with this!"

Dugu Yan was so furious her lungs were about to burst.

"I know!"

"Because Dugu Bo cares deeply about you, he'll immediately go to Suotuo City to find Ma Hongjun!"

"Ma Hongjun is a student of Shrek Academy..."

Jiang Ming looked at Dugu Yan with a smile.

"A student of Shrek Academy? Why does that name sound so familiar?"

Dugu Yan's expression turned somewhat strange.

Shrek Academy?

She seemed to hear people mention it quite often!

"Your mentor, Qin Ming, graduated from Shrek Academy and is very familiar with Suotuo City."

"Yu Tianheng will definitely ask Qin Ming about it. At that point, Qin Ming will also go to Suotuo City to ask what happened."

"The outcome of this depends on when Qin Ming arrives in Suotuo City, and whether Dugu Bo kills fast enough."

"No matter what, one or two people from Shrek Academy will definitely die!"

Jiang Ming looked calmly at Dugu Bo.

"I understand now! You have a grudge against Shrek Academy, so you kidnapped me to provoke my grandfather into going to Shrek Academy and killing people!"

"And while he's gone, you can take the chance to go to Sunset Forest and steal my grandfather's herbs!"

"You despicable villain have shown your true colors! When the time comes, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and my grandfather will join forces to hunt you down. Let's see how much longer you can live!"

Dugu Yan's eyes nearly spat fire.

"What a coincidence!"

"It's not like this is the first time I've snatched chestnuts from the fire."

"So..."

Jiang Ming reached up and felt around his face a few times, lifting his human-skin mask slightly.

"That isn't your original face?"

Dugu Yan's eyes widened.

"Your grandfather has probably left his hole by now. It's time for me to go treasure hunting too."

Jiang Ming waved at Dugu Yan and walked out of the cellar.

At the same time.

Prince Xue Xing's Mansion.

Yu Tianheng had been carried in by attendants from the Rose Hotel.

The wound on his chest had been simply bandaged, but blood had still soaked through several layers of gauze.

His face was frighteningly pale, and his lips were covered in dried blood.

But what truly concerned Prince Xue Xing was not Yu Tianheng's injuries.

It was that Dugu Yan was missing.

"What did you say?"

Prince Xue Xing rose from his chair. At that moment, his fat body erupted with astonishing pressure.

He was indeed a prince.

But he was also a Soul Master.

"Yanzi was abducted?"

Prince Xue Xing's voice was low, as though he were suppressing some emotion about to erupt.

"This junior was incompetent... That person was stronger than me. I... I was no match for him."

Yu Tianheng lowered his head, his voice hoarse.
