Tang San: Damn it! If I had Yama's Invitation, I'd make sure you never return!

"Who's there!"

Dugu Xue had only just revealed a sliver of his aura when Dugu Bo sensed him.

At this moment, Dugu Xue walked out slowly, swept a glance over Dugu Bo and Tang San, then turned his gaze toward the immortal herbs.

Dugu Bo felt an invisible pressure descend instantly and immediately mobilized the soul power within his body! Anyone capable of appearing at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well without a sound was definitely not simple!

However, as Dugu Xue drew closer, the more Dugu Bo looked, the more familiar the middle-aged man before him seemed!

How is he eighty or ninety percent similar to this old man?

Dugu Bo felt uncertain in his heart, thinking: Although this old man's personality is eccentric, I have kept myself clean my entire life and never left any offspring behind! Eh? Wait! When Xin'er was born, I wasn't by her side! Could it be that Xin'er had a twin brother who was lost out in the world?

Dugu Bo imagined a small plot twist... and stubbornly convinced himself that Dugu Xue was his son.

Dugu Bo spoke up and asked, "Who are you?"

"Who this old man is, you don't need to know! You only need to know that from this moment on, the immortal herbs here belong to this old man!"

"Arrogant!"

Dugu Bo had never been a man of good temper. If it weren't for the fact that Dugu Xue looked eighty or ninety percent like him, he would have already used poison to kill this person just for trespassing into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

"Hiss—"

The next instant, Dugu Bo summoned the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, which opened its maw to spew out a massive cloud of toxic gas. Then, Dugu Bo witnessed something he would never forget for the rest of his life!

He saw Dugu Xue open his mouth and inhale all of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's toxins into his belly, then instantly erupt with an overwhelmingly powerful soul power pressure that bore down on Dugu Bo!

Hum!

Dugu Bo stumbled, barely managing to keep his footing, his heart filled with sheer terror!

He had actually felt that sense of powerlessness again, being suppressed by someone else's soul power pressure!

How many years had it been?

He hadn't felt this way since breaking through to the Soul Emperor realm, and that was not to mention that he was now a level 91 Title Douluo! Just how vast was the gap between them? Dugu Bo dared not imagine.

At this time.

After savoring the toxins, Dugu Xue spoke: "Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor martial soul, the toxins are also highly similar to this old man's! It seems you are indeed an alternate version of this old man!"

An alternate version?

Dugu Bo didn't understand what an alternate version was, nor did he have the heart to ask! He only felt that the enemy before him was terrifyingly strong! Not to mention the soul power pressure, his pride and joy—the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor's toxins—had actually been sucked up in one gulp by this man!

Who exactly was the Poison Douluo here?

Dugu Bo asked in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you?"

Dugu Xue cast a glance at Dugu Bo, then walked toward the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well on his own, saying as he walked: "Stay quiet over there for now. Once this old man finishes harvesting the immortal herbs, we can chat about the matters between us."

Dugu Bo fell silent for a moment and did not make a move, because he could not see through Dugu Xue's depth!

However, Tang San, standing to the side, was anxious! When he first arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he had already defined all the immortal herbs in the entire medicinal garden as his own private property!

Although Tang San hadn't personally experienced Dugu Xue's soul power pressure, he had felt the fluctuations and seen Dugu Bo's reaction. He assumed Dugu Xue had simply caught Dugu Bo off guard, so he didn't feel much fear toward him.

Tang San cupped his hands and said, "Senior, this medicinal garden belongs to Senior Dugu. Isn't it a bit much for you to harvest the herbs here so unscrupulously? Are you trying to rob us by force?"

Dugu Xue glanced at Tang San and suddenly frowned, thinking: Why does he feel so similar to Tang Si? Six parts similar! Could he be an alternate version of Tang Si? Tang San, Tang Si... I remember Tang Si also had a Blue Silver Grass martial soul! But his Blue Silver Grass mutated into a Blue Silver Tree! His talent was remarkable! Yet this person before me, why does he only have level 33 soul power? Is he really that trashy?

The thought flashed by, and then Dugu Xue took various metal boxes, jade boxes, stone boxes, wooden boxes, and various harvesting tools like rakes and shovels from his storage Soul Tool.

Seeing that Dugu Xue ignored him, a flicker of anger rose in Tang San's heart. He thought: Damn it! To dare snatch my immortal herbs, you have already invited your own death! It's just... my strength is currently low, and I haven't manufactured any high-powered hidden weapons yet... Damn it! If I had some time, I could definitely use the immortal herbs and poisonous herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to refine Yama's Invitation! If I had Yama's Invitation, I would definitely make sure he never leaves!

After pondering for a long time, Tang San whispered to Dugu Bo, "Senior Dugu, are you just going to watch him harvest your herbs like this?"

Dugu Bo: "..."

Before you speak, shouldn't you look at the current situation? The man's soul power pressure alone is enough for me to handle! You still want me to stand up for you?

Dugu Bo watched as Dugu Xue harvested the herbs and finally spoke, his voice deep: "To just take away this old man's herbs like this, shouldn't you give this old man an explanation first?"

"An explanation?"

Dugu Xue did not stop his movements, his efficiency high. He first took the Aromatic Silk Beauty, then the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and then a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower before responding to Dugu Bo's question.

"Speaking of which, what are your names? Oh, right! This kid's name is Tang San, isn't it? How can someone have such a casual name? Would anyone really be called 'Little San'? Just hearing the name, he doesn't sound like a decent person!"

Dugu Bo: "..."

Tang San: "..."

Dugu Bo said in a deep voice, "This old man is the Poison Douluo!"

"This old man is asking for your name!"

Dugu Bo paused and said, "This old man is Dugu Bo!"

"Dugu Bo? This old man is Dugu Xue."

"Dugu Xue?" Dugu Bo frowned and asked again, "Why do you look so extremely similar to this old man?"

Dugu Xue did not explain this question, instead asking: "This treasure basin, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, is it yours?"

Dugu Bo answered truthfully, "That's right! Over a dozen years ago, this old man discovered this place by chance. Seeing that it was very suitable for growing medicinal herbs, I tidied up the surroundings and planted many medicinal materials."

"Discovered over a decade ago? By you?"

Dugu Xue's heart sank slightly, and he thought to himself: Judging by Dugu Bo's age, he should be around seventy or eighty, not much different from me! But why didn't Emperor Qingtian find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well earlier, instead of it being discovered by my counterpart, Dugu Bo, over a decade ago?

Dugu Xue pondered for a moment before asking earnestly, "Have you sworn allegiance to any master?"

"Master?"

Dugu Bo's lips twitched involuntarily, and he replied coldly, "Who do you think you're insulting? This old man is a dignified Titled Douluo, the number one Poison Master under the heavens! Why would I ever acknowledge anyone as my master?"

So that's how it is, I understand!

Upon hearing this, Dugu Xue immediately grasped the situation; some unexpected event must have occurred, causing his counterpart to never encounter Emperor Qingtian, nor swear fealty to him.

In his own youth, he had once thought the same—that it was impossible to ever acknowledge a master!

However, after meeting Emperor Qingtian, Dugu Xue had been completely captivated by the Emperor's brilliance. He had bowed his head and pledged his loyalty without hesitation!
