Inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Dugu Bo wore a strange expression at this moment.

He stared at the figure of Lin Feng projected within the massive curtain.

It was not surprising that the other party could recognize him; after all, he was a Titled Douluo.

However, the follow-up remark, "If it's you, then I'm relieved," truly irritated him. Was there a hint of disdain between the lines?

Even if he had been defeated and taken prisoner, there was no need to belittle him like this, right? He scrutinized Lin Feng carefully while observing his surroundings.

A projection? Could it be some kind of illusion-based soul skill? Where is his true body?

Dugu Bo found it hard to believe; he had never heard of such long-distance communication technology before.

The more he looked, the more apprehensive he became. It was the confusion of facing the unknown, and he constantly pondered how to escape.

Clearly, Lin Feng had already seen through his thoughts, smiling dismissively while staring at him with interest.

"Dugu Bo, level 92 Titled Douluo, Martial Soul [Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor], title [Poison]."

"The toxins in your body have penetrated deep into your bone marrow, causing you to suffer heart-piercing pain at every moment, a curse that has even extended into your bloodline."

"Your only granddaughter, Dugu Yan, has developed similar symptoms and must rely on the special environment here to alleviate them, am I correct?"

Lin Feng rattled off the details as if they were his own possessions.

Beside him, the entire Dawn of Light team was astonished.

As expected of His Majesty the Demon God Emperor; even upon meeting a native of the Douluo Continent for the first time, he already had such a thorough grasp of the situation.

As for Dugu Bo, the person in question, he frowned deeply after hearing this, his gaze filled with vigilance.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Lin Feng did not answer this question directly.

Through the curtain projection, he looked toward a petite figure in a purple dress not far away.

Sheng Cai'er wore a thin veil over her mouth, her expression cold and aloof, yet her eyes were filled with reverence as she looked at Lin Feng.

"Cai'er, show him the power of purification."

After unifying the Holy Demon Continent, Lin Feng had not changed the inheritance.

Electrolux had bestowed his mantle upon Sheng Cai'er, having her specialize in the Path of Purification, which, as the name implied, possessed cleansing capabilities.

Although the toxins in Dugu Bo's body were somewhat stubborn, with the little girl's current strength, dispelling them was not particularly difficult.

"Understood, Your Majesty!"

At these words, a faint blush appeared on Sheng Cai'er's face.

She nodded obediently and walked a few steps toward Dugu Bo.

Raising her hand, she released the power of purification through the air, enveloping his restrained body.

In an instant, that energy, which felt like a warm current, swept through his limbs and bones, dissolving the pain caused by the toxins.

"This... what is happening?"

Dugu Bo was stunned, his mouth hanging open in shock.

As a Titled powerhouse, his status and strength were self-evident, and he had long since searched the entire Douluo Continent without finding a solution.

He had only been able to barely suppress the bloodline toxins by relying on the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, yet he had not expected this mysterious young girl to possess such miraculous power!

"What do you want from me?"

Dugu Bo immediately conceded, his tone softening.

Seeing this, Lin Feng thought to himself that it was indeed effective; this was exactly how Tang San had played it in the original story.

This was the old poison master's fatal weakness. As long as he held onto this point, he could make him obedient, or even directly domesticate him!

"Submit, and I will help you and your granddaughter permanently remove the bloodline toxin. Otherwise, you surely know what to expect, right?"

Inside the curtain, Lin Feng's expression remained calm and unruffled.

Being a newcomer, everything had to be handled with caution.

Subjugating some native powerhouses would certainly be beneficial for subsequent plans, but there was no need to force it.

If Dugu Bo proved ungrateful, Lin Feng did not think much of his barely-Titled strength anyway.

After integrating the massive population of the Holy Demon Continent and developing it for over a hundred years, the [Holy Demon Federation] was not lacking in ninth-rank powerhouses.

"Heh, do I have a choice?"

Dugu Bo's expression was one of realization; he did not seem surprised.

After only a moment of hesitation, he gave a helpless, bitter smile and chose to submit.

As a guest elder of the Heaven Dou Empire, he had little loyalty to begin with, so he felt no psychological burden at this moment.

However, Lin Feng did not accept verbal promises; he immediately looked at Long Xingyu and nodded at him.

This surrender procedure had already been planned before the invasion.

Long Xingyu bowed slightly, placing a brand upon Dugu Bo.

Historical records state that the ancient Elf Era was, to be precise, a time of contention among ten thousand races.

The most powerful Elf clan mastered many miraculous secret arts, among which was the slave brand.

Although the Academy of Sciences had conducted extensive research, they had failed to perfectly restore the technology; however, controlling someone of Dugu Bo's caliber was still not a problem.

"Not bad, a wise choice."

"Now, answer my question: do you know Tang San?"

The branding process was swift. Lin Feng did not hold back, immediately having Sheng Cai'er assist with the purification while taking the opportunity to continue gathering intelligence.

Since he had already submitted, Dugu Bo dared not conceal anything, describing the various situations on the continent, which largely aligned with Lin Feng's conjectures.

Finally, the conversation turned to the most critical question.

Dugu Bo froze, immediately falling into a thoughtful state.

"Tang San? It seems I have heard the name somewhere, but I cannot recall it for the moment."

Although he did not provide a precise answer, his reaction already spoke volumes.

Lin Feng's thoughts raced, and he suddenly realized: it appeared Tang San had already been born, but had not yet arrived at the Royal Academy.

This timing was perfect!

During the era of Martial Soul Hall, the Douluo Continent was relatively peaceful.

With no wars having broken out for many years, both the quantity and quality of spirit masters and soldiers were quite mediocre.

With the strength of the Holy Demon Federation, they were capable of forming an overwhelming force, though they could not afford to be too reckless.

After all, the Douluo God Realm still loomed overhead; although the rule that gods did not interfere in the lower realms remained in effect before Tang San's ascension, one could not be one hundred percent certain.

"Xingyu, next, I want you to infiltrate the City of Slaughter!"

Having sorted out the clues, Lin Feng made an instant decision and issued a new command.

The City of Slaughter was a special, lawless zone during the Martial Soul Hall era used to exile and imprison evil spirit masters.

As the Divine Knight of Judgment and Trial and the wielder of the Divine Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter, Long Xingyu was perfectly suited for this mission!

Within that place lay the path to the inheritance of the Asura God.

Lin Feng intended for Long Xingyu to set up space-time beacons from the inside.

This would allow them to receive the main force descending later, prioritize seizing the City of Slaughter, and secure a godhood first.

As for the other inheritances, the Angel and Rakshasa were in Martial Soul Hall, while the Sea God was on an isolated island overseas; the situations there were relatively complex.

"Your Majesty, how should I proceed?"

Long Xingyu nodded, humbly asking for guidance.

Upon learning that this operation concerned a godhood, his expression immediately turned solemn.

One had to know that the reason the Demon God Emperor had unified the Holy Demon Continent and decided to invade the Douluo Continent was largely for the sake of godheads and godhoods; the importance of this mission was self-evident.

"You? Just keep a low profile; don't get too carried away."

"Hidden within the City of Slaughter is a Limit Douluo."

"Although he is neither human nor ghost these days, he would still be troublesome to fight. Remember to prioritize the mission."

Lin Feng instructed casually, feeling no concern.

At present, Long Xingyu's strength was even greater than in the original Divine Throne series.

Going to the City of Slaughter was hardly difficult at all, and his gaze subsequently shifted to the others.

"As for you, Hao Chen, and the rest—since you have descended at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, you might as well use this place as an outpost."

"Construct defensive fortifications and engrave large-scale teleportation arrays. The Heaven Dou Empire is not strong; it will serve perfectly as our breakthrough point!"
