"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

Several playful sighs echoed leisurely through the forest, which was thick with the pungent scent of blood, startling several shivering ten-thousand-year soul beasts nearby.

"The Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, who once dominated the world with his toxins, has fallen just like that..."

"A dignified Title Douluo, reduced to a state where not even a corpse remains; truly pathetic and lamentable..."

Fiddling with the Medusa Soul Bone in her hand, Qian Wulu shook her head in deep disappointment.

She had expected an evenly matched, fierce battle that would allow her to properly witness a clash between Title Douluos.

She had even looked forward to Dugu Bo unleashing some hidden trump cards, hoping to broaden her horizons by seeing the desperate final resistance of a Title Douluo...

Yet, he had been killed in a single strike, without even a shred of room to resist, which truly caught her off guard.

It had to be said that her older brother's soul skill was indeed monstrous, forcibly controlling Dugu Bo, a level 91 Title Douluo, to the point where he lacked even the ability to fight back.

Dugu Bo could never have dreamed that his own Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor martial soul would turn around and devour him!

"Enough! Stop sighing over there!"

"Let us head into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to harvest the immortal herbs..."

Qian Wuyou tapped Qian Wulu lightly on the head.

What kind of trouble could a mere Dugu Bo possibly stir up in his hands?

At that moment, Qian Wulu voiced the doubt in her heart.

"That may be true, but still!"

"Older brother, have you ever considered one thing?"

"Although Dugu Bo is weak, he is still a Title Douluo after all. Why not consider taking him in and using him for your own purposes?"

Don't say it, you really shouldn't say it.

Dugu Bo was killed in one strike, but that was only because Qian Wuyou was too strong.

Even if Dugu Bo's combat power wasn't outstanding, one could not deny that the man was indeed a Title Douluo.

If paired with his terrifying poison arts, he could achieve the horrifying lethality of wiping out an entire city single-handedly.

When it came to large-scale slaughter and battlefield deterrence, other Title Douluos might not necessarily surpass Dugu Bo.

If they could subdue him, even if only as a walking, highly toxic weapon of mass destruction, he would be an asset not to be underestimated within their camp.

"Use him for my own purposes???"

"Little sister, do you think a piece of trash who cannot even control his own martial soul is worthy of being recruited by me?"

Qian Wuyou merely glanced indifferently at the puddle of blood on the ground that used to be Dugu Bo, his tone devoid of even a ripple of emotion.

"I acknowledge that Dugu Bo is indeed a weapon of mass destruction on the battlefield."

"But Dugu Bo is narrow-minded and vengeful; without absolute leverage, it is impossible for him to submit sincerely. He would only act like a venomous snake, waiting for a chance to bite back in the shadows. Such an uncontrollable factor is ultimately a disaster if left alive."

Qian Wuyou shook his head and walked toward the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

His footsteps were calm, but the aura radiating from his body was enough to terrify the surrounding soul beasts, causing them to flee far away, not daring to approach.

"My Angel Family is full of talent, and we have Tianzhen and Wuxie, two level 83 Soul Douluos. They only need to consume the immortal herbs and be equipped with a few high-year ten-thousand-year soul bones to break through to the Title Douluo realm at any time."

"With Tianzhen and Wuxie ahead, why would I need to recruit a volatile venomous snake like Dugu Bo? I require combat power that is absolutely controllable and loyal, not a malignant tumor that could explode at any moment."

Upon hearing this, Qian Wulu blinked her large eyes.

She suddenly realized the truth, reaching out to pat her own forehead with a look of annoyance.

"That's true! How did I not think of that?"

"With sisters Tianzhen and Wuxie here, older brother, you have no need to recruit a ticking time bomb like Dugu Bo and invite unnecessary hidden dangers upon yourself."

"Rather than wasting effort trying to control an unruly outsider, it is better to use the immortal herbs to cultivate other talented clansmen. This ensures loyalty while saving both time and effort."

After thinking it through, Qian Wulu looked at the Medusa Soul Bone in her hand with undisguised disdain.

"Older brother, you handle this seven-thousand-year Medusa skull bone as you see fit..."

A seventy-thousand-year Medusa skull bone could be considered a top-tier soul bone.

But unfortunately—its attributes did not match her Angel martial soul.

And since Qian Wuyou was not lacking in soul bones, this seventy-thousand-year Medusa skull bone would likely only be bestowed upon other clansmen.

And don't even mention the nonsense about other clansmen also having Angel martial souls and the attributes not matching.

Within the Angel Family, there were plenty of clansmen with Angel martial souls, but not everyone could assemble a full set of soul bones that matched their specific attributes.

If a seventy-thousand-year Medusa skull bone were gifted to Tianzhen or Wuxie, the two sisters would likely be so moved they would offer themselves to him, becoming his sisters-in-law.

One must know that ten-thousand-year soul bones were known as the "Treasures of the Blood River," capable of triggering heart-stopping massacres of entire families.

A seventy-thousand-year skull bone was enough to make even the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire tear off their masks and go to war!

"A seventy-thousand-year Medusa skull bone, is it..."

"I will ask Tianzhen and Wuxie later to see if they have any interest in it!"

Qian Wuyou nodded and tucked the spirit bone into his storage Soul Tool.

The potential of Tianzhen and Wuxie was far greater than that of Dugu Bo.

Once Tianzhen and Wuxie broke through to the Title Douluo realm, their combat power would be incomparable to a gatekeeper like Dugu Bo, who relied solely on poison techniques to hold his ground.

Rather than wasting effort trying to tame an unruly viper, he would be better off cultivating the talented direct descendants of the Angel Family.

Before long, Qian Wuyou and Qian Wulu arrived at a mountaintop.

Below them, in the valley, lay a hot spring.

The spring was not large, yet the water was divided into two distinct colors: one half milky white, the other vermilion red.

What was even more miraculous was that the two colors remained clearly separated, never interfering with one another.

Scorching heat and icy cold emanated from the spring, intertwining in the air as they slowly rose upward.

In an instant, the swirling mist of ice and fire rushed toward them, but as it neared Qian Wuyou, it seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, dissipating to both sides on its own.

"Wow!"

"This place is so beautiful! It's practically a fairyland!"

The existence of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well left Qian Wulu deeply astonished.

Everyone possesses a love for beauty, let alone a young girl of her age.

"Big Brother, is that red and white hot pot at the bottom of the valley the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well you mentioned?"

Qian Wulu pointed toward the valley floor and asked.

"Mm! The red and white hot pot you see is exactly the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well I spoke of!"

"And those immortal herbs grow right in the vicinity of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!"

Qian Wuyou nodded.

Following that, the two leaped, plummeting rapidly toward the valley floor.

At this moment, one had to acknowledge the advantages of the Angel martial soul.

Even though Qian Wulu was only a Spirit King in her fifties, the Angel martial soul allowed for flight!

Even if Qian Wuyou, a Title Douluo, had not intervened, Qian Wulu would still have landed safely at the bottom of the valley.
