Qian Ye Makes a Move! Tang San is Shocked!

Golden Crocodile Douluo shook his head violently, casting this absurd thought from his mind.

"An illusion, it must be an illusion."

"The ancestor passed away eons ago; how could he possibly..."

Sunset Forest, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Dugu Bo stared at the rewards in the sky, completely stunned. He rubbed his eyes hard, only then daring to confirm he hadn't misread them.

A Sacred Land?

Immense benefits for soul masters?

He trembled with joy, nearly letting out a roar toward the heavens!

At that very moment, a golden pillar of light containing boundless power of creation descended from the firmament, precisely enveloping the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Rumble!

The earth shook violently. The Yin Yang springs spun frantically, the powers of water and fire intertwining and rising to form a massive, illusory Yin Yang dragon that coiled above the valley, letting out a roar that shook the world!

ROAR—!

Every plant within the valley began to grow and transform at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Under the baptism of the golden light, ordinary herbs bloomed with precious radiance, evolving toward the level of spirit herbs and immortal treasures!

A rich, thick aura of life and pure soul power permeated the air.

Dugu Bo took a single deep breath and felt a gentle energy surge into his limbs and bones.

He could clearly feel his chronic ailments being rapidly repaired, the toxins in his blood being purified strand by strand, and even the soul power bottleneck that had plagued him for years seemed to loosen!

"Hahaha! A blessing from the Heavenly Dao! This is a blessing from the Heavenly Dao!"

Dugu Bo wept with joy, laughing aloud.

"Grandfather!"

Dugu Yan ran over, her face full of joy, though it quickly shifted to a look of worry.

"Shrek... Tang San and the others, I fear they will not let this rest."

Dugu Bo's laughter came to an abrupt halt, the joy on his face rapidly cooling.

He remained silent for a moment, then sighed.

"Regardless, Tang San saved the lives of our grandfather and granddaughter."

"Fine, when he arrives, we shall carve out a portion of this Sacred Land for them to use; that will settle this karmic debt."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a vast, majestic aura descended like the might of heaven, enveloping the entire valley.

Dugu Bo's expression changed.

In mid-air, Tang San appeared, clad in his Sea God divine armor and holding his trident, slowly descending as he looked down at him with indifferent eyes.

"Dugu Bo, I trust you have been well."

The servants beside Dugu Bo had already been forced to their knees by this divine pressure, trembling as they cried out:

"Greetings, Lord Sea God!"

Tang San's gaze bypassed Dugu Bo, greedily sweeping over the transforming Sacred Land as he got straight to the point.

"The effects of this place are heaven-defying; it should not be held by those lacking both virtue and talent."

"From this day forth, this Ice and Fire Sacred Land belongs to my Tang Sect."

Dugu Bo's expression sank instantly.

He had not expected Tang San to be so direct, not even bothering with a pretense.

Back then, he had already stripped this place bare, and now, he intended to openly seize the rewards bestowed by the Heavenly Dao!

Dugu Bo suppressed the fury in his heart and said in a deep voice:

"Tang San, for the sake of our past friendship, I can allow you and the people of Shrek to use this place."

"But this is my home; I ask that you leave a place for my granddaughter and me to stay."

Hearing this, a mocking smile curled the corners of Tang San's lips.

"Old thing, are you truly muddled, or are you playing the fool with me?"

"Your life was given by me; naturally, everything you own is mine as well!"

As his words fell, an even more terrifying divine pressure crashed down!

Pfft—

Dugu Bo was struck as if by a heavy blow, spitting out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

He struggled to lift his head, looking at the awe-inspiring figure in the sky, the last remnants of his hope and gratitude completely replaced by disappointment and resentment.

"Tang San!"

"You... you are shameless! You would even snatch a blessing bestowed by the Heavenly Dao? Are you not afraid of divine retribution?!"

Tang San let out a disdainful scoff, as if looking at an ant.

"Divine retribution? On this continent, I am the heavens!"

"Since you are so ignorant of the times, then take your granddaughter and go to your deaths together!"

A chilling killing intent enveloped Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.

The Sea God Trident began to glow with a destructive light.

Feeling a power capable of erasing him in an instant, Dugu Bo felt endless despair and regret surge in his heart.

He hated!

He hated himself for failing to judge a person's character and inviting a wolf into his home!

Just at this critical moment, a beam of pure, ultimate golden holy light descended from the sky without warning, precisely blocking the path in front of Dugu Bo.

Boom!

Tang San's attack, capable of destroying the heavens and extinguishing the earth, landed on the holy light, yet it was like a clay ox entering the sea, failing to stir up even a ripple.

Dugu Bo was stunned.

In a trance, he seemed to see the phantom of a six-winged angel within the holy light—overbearing, peerless, sacred, and majestic, as if a true celestial god had descended!

Tang San was also startled by this sudden turn of events, stepping back half a pace with a grave expression.

"Who is it?!"

The holy light dissipated.

Two figures appeared silently in the arena.

Leading them was a man in black with handsome features and a calm temperament; it was Qian Ye.

Half a step behind him, Qian Renxue stood in golden armor, her expression respectful.

Qian Ye's gaze swept over the transformed Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well before finally landing on Tang San, and he said indifferently:

"I had considered that you would be greedy, but I did not expect you to be so utterly devoid of a bottom line."

His voice was soft, yet it made Tang San's heart jump violently, giving him the feeling of being completely seen through.

An illusion!

Tang San immediately suppressed this trace of unease, assuming that the one who had blocked his attack must have been Qian Renxue.

"Qian Renxue!"

Tang San's gaze fell upon Qian Renxue, but when he saw her obedient and gentle demeanor beside Qian Ye, his heart shook once more.

This woman had always been incomparably arrogant; how could she adopt such a posture toward a youth?

Who exactly was this youth?

Qian Renxue's heart was equally unsettled.

The holy light from just moments ago had been incomparably pure, carrying a pressure originating from the depths of her bloodline that left even her shaken.

Was it her master who had acted?

She felt more and more that the identity of her master was unfathomably mysterious.

On the ground, Dugu Bo was stunned to see that the newcomers were from Martial Soul Hall, but immediately, his overwhelming hatred and desire to survive led him to a decision.

He struggled to crawl up and hissed toward Qian Ye and Qian Renxue:

"Noble ones of Martial Soul Hall! It is Tang San who wants to forcibly seize my home and kill my granddaughter and me to silence us!"

"I, Dugu Bo, am willing to offer this Ice and Fire Sacred Land to Martial Soul Hall!"

"I only ask... I only ask that the two of you protect my granddaughter Yanyan!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Ye did not even glance at him, his gaze remaining fixed on the center of the valley.

"I have no interest in your territory."

He said indifferently: "I came here merely to see two old friends."
