Everyone voiced their opinions. Not a single person believed Dugu Bo would dare to resist.
Listening to Ning Rongrong, Tang San felt a flicker of displeasure.
He glanced at Ning Rongrong and thought to himself:
I gave him his life. Naturally, I can take it back whenever I want.
I hope he knows what's good for him.
Jialing Pass, inside a courtyard.
As Qian Ye watched the Heavenly Vault Golden List, the interest in his eyes grew more pronounced.
Dragon God...
Water and Fire Dragon Kings...
Those really were nostalgic names.
He picked up his teacup and took a small sip, memories from ages past surfacing in his mind.
Once upon a time, that proud dragon had listened to his teachings and treated him with the utmost respect.
"Master."
Seeing that Qian Ye seemed quite interested in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Qian Renxue asked curiously:
"You seem... very familiar with this treasure land. Have you been there before?"
She couldn't help feeling that her master showed no surprise at all, as though everything was already within his expectations.
That feeling only made her more curious about Qian Ye's identity.
Qian Ye set down his teacup and stood up.
"Let's go."
"Let's take a look."
He said only a few words before heading toward the courtyard exit.
Qian Renxue paused, then broke into a delighted smile.
Master was taking her along?
This was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity!
Perhaps this time, she'd uncover some clues about her master's identity!
She hurried after him, filled with anticipation.
But just as they were about to leave the courtyard, the image on the Heavenly Vault Golden List suddenly changed!
It was no longer a glimpse of the past, but a vision of the future!
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well looked just as it always had, but a huge stone tablet now stood at its entrance!
Several large characters had been carved into it with bold, flowing strokes!
[Private grounds of the Tang Sect. Trespassers will be killed!]
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The comments froze for a moment before flooding in at an even more frantic pace!
[Wait! What's going on? Tang Sect grounds?]
[Am I seeing things? Didn't the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well belong to Dugu Bo? How did it become the Tang Sect's?]
[The Tang Sect... wasn't that Tang San's sect? So Tang San really did end up snatching the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?!]
[Wow! Just wow! That's shameless beyond belief!]
The Poison Douluo Estate.
Dugu Bo stared at the scene in the sky, utterly dumbfounded.
The color drained from his face before everyone's eyes, leaving it deathly pale.
He'd stolen it...
He really had stolen my home!
A wave of humiliation and resentment surged through him.
But in an instant, that resentment turned into deep helplessness.
He knew.
He couldn't stop them.
Facing Tang San and Shrek, whose influence now reached the heavens, what could a lone Titled Douluo like him do?
Resist, and he'd die.
Dugu Bo slowly closed his eyes. His body trembled faintly, as if he'd aged ten years in a single moment.
The vision of the future gradually faded from the sky.
But at that moment, the Golden List's radiance reached its peak!
Everyone knew the most thrilling moment was about to begin!
[Review complete. Rewards being distributed!]
A line of golden characters appeared clearly before everyone's eyes.
The comments instantly filled with the word "rewards."
[Here we go! The rewards are finally coming!]
[What will the eighth-ranked treasure on the Rare Treasures List get? A bundle of divine Immortal Herbs?]
[I bet it's the Dragon Kings' remnant souls! Give them straight to Dugu Bo!]
Dugu Bo's eyes snapped open. He stared fixedly at the sky.
This was his last chance!
If the Heavenly Dao could grant him enough power...
Perhaps he might still be able to protect his home!
Golden light blazed across the sky, dyeing the entire firmament a brilliant gold.
Line after line of fresh characters slowly took shape beneath the watchful eyes of the crowd.
[Ranked eighth on the Rare Treasures List—the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well]
[Owner: Dugu Bo]
[Reward: Ice and Fire Sacred Land]
[Commentary: This place will transform into a true blessed paradise, capable of nurturing spiritual treasures of heaven and earth and peerless Immortal Herbs on its own. Cultivating here can cleanse the meridians and marrow, remake the body, and purify one's bloodline. It is a supreme treasure land for Soul Masters!]
As the final line appeared, the entire continent—humans and Soul Beasts alike—fell briefly into a daze.
The next moment, the comments beneath the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking erupted with unprecedented ferocity!
[A sacred land?! Did I read that right? They turned an entire place into a sacred land as a reward?!]
[It can nurture Immortal Herbs on its own? And even remake someone's body? My god, this reward is absurd!]
[Dugu Bo's ancestors must be smoking green! This isn't just the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well—it's a mobile treasure trove, a cradle that can mass-produce geniuses!]
[I'm crying! Why couldn't I have a home like that? Dugu Bo, from this day on, you're my own flesh-and-blood grandfather!]
The Allied Forces Camp was deathly silent.
Every member of Shrek, Tang San included, wore a look of shock.
Then that shock turned into boundless greed and jealousy, gnawing at their hearts like venomous snakes.
"A sa... sacred land?"
Oscar's voice trembled. He knew better than anyone how valuable Immortal Herbs were.
But now, that place could produce Immortal Herbs in batches—and even transform a Soul Master's constitution!
Ma Hongjun's eyes reddened, his breathing heavy as a bull's.
"This... this place should've been ours! Third Brother's!"
Dai Mubai clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, then said, word by word:
"Exactly! Without Third Brother, Dugu Bo would've died long ago! This sacred land should belong to Shrek!"
Everyone turned to look at Tang San.
His face darkened until it seemed ready to drip water. He stared at the sky, the flames of greed in his eyes nearly tangible.
That wasn't merely a treasure land.
It was the foundation of a sect, the reserves of a deity!
With it, his Tang Sect would surpass every other power in the shortest time imaginable!
Star Dou Great Forest.
Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts watched the reward on the Golden List, their eyes filled with envy.
"A sacred land... If our Soul Beast Clan had a place like that, why would we ever have to worry about failing to make a comeback?" Zi JI sighed softly.
Gu Yuena's gaze was profound. No one knew what she was thinking.
Jialing Pass.
The Spirit Hall Titled Douluo were also stirred up, their faces full of envy and worry.
"With a treasure land like that in Dugu Bo's hands, who knows whether it's a blessing or a curse."
"He's close to Shrek. This sacred land will probably end up in Tang San's hands."
Inside the Worship Hall, Golden Crocodile Douluo narrowed his eyes slightly.
He recalled that the young master, Qian Renxue, had just left with the mysterious Qian Ye, apparently heading toward Sunset Forest.
For some reason, the portrait of the First Generation Angel Deity in the deepest part of the Worship Hall suddenly surfaced in his mind.
The dignified, awe-inspiring man in the painting bore an almost imperceptible resemblance in bearing to Qian Ye, who looked no older than a boy.
