The Old Man Lost His Horse, How Could He Know It Wasn't a Blessing

"Affectionate Douluo, you bring so many outsiders here this time; what is the meaning of this?"

The agreement between the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the Tang Sect dictates that only one person is permitted entry every hundred years, and they may obtain no more than two types of medicinal herbs.

What, then, is the meaning of him bringing three people here today? Could it be that he simply intends to expose the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?

Zang Xin glanced at Mu Han: "He and I are merely here to act as guardians."

Mu Han nodded, then pointed casually at the two in front of him: "How about these two?"

"Heavenly treasures capable of taking human form; their grade is even superior to a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast."

"Impossible." The man in purple robes refused flatly, without a moment's hesitation.

Xu Xiaoyan and Zheng Yiran could not help but click their tongues in secret upon hearing Mu Han's words.

Could it be that he intends to eat those present here?

How could they possibly agree to such a thing!

The man in purple robes let out a cold snort, and a layer of purple radiance bloomed from his body, instantly releasing a refreshing, intoxicating fragrance.

Just then, within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well behind the Beast King, lake water of different colors suddenly surged into the sky.

"Welcome, Dual Dragon Lords!" The six Beast King stepped back in unison, their faces filled with reverence.

Suspended above the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well were two giant dragons formed from the lake water, one entirely ice-blue and the other entirely crimson-red.

An incomparably tyrannical aura swept across the area, forcing even the Affectionate Douluo Zang Xin to change his expression and take a step back.

But the next moment, he stood firmly in front of Mu Han and the others.

Mu Han must not come to any harm; if anything were to happen to him, the three leaders of the Fatui would undoubtedly fight the Tang Sect to the death.

The Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua would likely not let the matter rest, either.

As the blue and red Dual Dragon Lords appeared, all the vegetation within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well seemed to come to life.

The life force of many plants surged, causing them to grow rapidly, and all the pressure bore down directly upon them.

Zang Xin's expression was grim: "Brother Luo, my Tang Sect has guarded the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for ten thousand years."

"Is this the preparation you have made to deal with us?"

Before they arrived, Mu Han had told him that things were not peaceful at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

The two had reached an agreement that Mu Han would take the lead in negotiations to probe these Beast King.

He had originally thought Mu Han was worrying over nothing.

But now, it seemed he had been the naive one.

The Tang Sect's years of protection had only served to raise these ungrateful wretches.

The destruction of spirit beasts on the continent was truly a result of their own courting of death.

As Mu Han threw a punch, a dragon's roar echoed throughout the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Even Zang Xin felt a sense of intense threat!

The Dual Dragon Lords in the air shuddered, a sense of cowardice manifesting within them.

As dragon souls, they possessed no true intelligence, retaining only a portion of their origin.

It was only through the nourishment and assistance of the many plant-type spirit beasts over the years that they had been able to reform, but the genes deep within their bloodlines could not be altered.

The roar of the Golden Dragon King was the most direct deterrent to them.

Mu Han flapped his wings and ascended into the sky.

The man in purple robes moved to intervene, but a sharp intent erupted from Zang Xin, pinning him in place.

The two giant dragons were currently relying on the lake water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for their physical form; under Mu Han's guidance, they flew back to the surface of the lake and poured back into it.

Only two small dragon souls, appearing no more than two meters in length, remained and merged into Mu Han's legs.

Mu Han had already absorbed two leg spirit bones, one of the wind attribute and one of the earth attribute, both originating from hundred-thousand-year-old sub-dragon species.

Now, having fused with the two dragon souls, these spirit bones were further enhanced.

Fire gives birth to earth! Fire Dragon King Earth Right Leg Bone.

Water gives birth to wind! Ice Dragon King Storm Left Leg Bone.

The Affectionate Douluo clearly had not expected the situation to develop in this manner.

The Tang Sect had certainly suffered a massive loss this time.

Even though these Dual Dragon Lords were meant to be the weapons the Beast King of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had prepared to use against the Tang Sect.

After all, these were items from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, which belonged to the Tang Sect!

Yet, what could he do now? He couldn't exactly have Mu Han detach them from his legs and return them to the Tang Sect, could he?

Thinking of this, he cast a cold gaze toward the man in purple.

They were merely plants that had achieved cultivation; how much combat experience could they possibly have? And how could they possess bloodlines suited for battle?

Never mind a mere six; even if there were sixty, Zang Xin could easily tear them to shreds right here.

If it weren't for the fact that these Beast King could better utilize the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to cultivate more heavenly treasures, not a single one of these Beast King would have survived today.

Even so, these Beast King had been taught a miserable lesson by Zang Xin.

The previous agreement was rendered null and void.

In addition to Xu Xiaoyan's hundred-thousand-year Star Luo Spirit Bead and Zheng Yiran's hundred-thousand-year Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Zang Xin also took away many other hundred-thousand-year heavenly treasures.

In any case, these treasures had not developed sentience under the suppression of these Beast King.

Taking them back directly would strengthen the Tang Sect; leaving them in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well would be an absolute waste of natural resources.

The Beast King dared to be angry but dared not speak.

Since the facade had already been torn away, they had to be prepared for the consequences.

When the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest launched a beast tide back then, they had to accept their defeat. The farce at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well followed the same logic.

However, a wise man does not drain the pond to catch the fish.

After this turmoil, the Tang Sect no longer needed to worry about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well becoming too powerful.

With humanity as powerful as it was, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well would have to rely on the Tang Sect for protection in the future.

When they believed their lifespans were nearing an end, they would voluntarily transform into spirit souls to help soul masters strive for that slim chance of becoming a god.

"But please also abide by your previous promises and do not over-exploit the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

Mu Han did not continue to pay attention to the negotiations between the Tang Sect and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

After all, he was merely an outsider.

Being able to enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well this time was already an exception.

Furthermore, the dragon souls of the Dual Dragon Lords had already been taken by him; the greatest opportunity of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had vanished.

Next, he had to prepare for his sixth soul ring.

He had long been prepared for this; he not only intended to obtain his sixth soul ring but also planned to take this opportunity to condense his own Soul Core.

The soul master world of the Douluo Continent was primarily based on water, fire, earth, and wind.

But that did not mean the five elements were absent.

Metal was a derivative of earth; wasn't that the same principle as earth giving birth to metal?

As for Xun representing wind and Zhen representing thunder, both wind and thunder were wood-attribute.

Therefore, Mu Han's wind-attribute Soul Power Vortex could also fuse with some thunder-attribute elements.

Among thunder-attribute soul beasts, the strongest was naturally the Thunder Hell Vine, a plant possessing the bloodline of the Thunder God.

However, apart from that, the strongest was not the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, but the super soul beast, the Thunder Beast.

Why were there no hundred-thousand-year level Thunder Beasts? It was because their foundation was too profound and too powerful.

If one were allowed to cultivate to a hundred thousand years, it would almost certainly become an uncontrollable entity.

Therefore, in the world of soul beasts, Thunder Beasts were not permitted to live that long.

Moreover, the strength of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon lay primarily in the Tyrant Dragon itself; as a power-attack type beast martial soul, its greatest foundation was its dragon transformation.

The lightning itself was actually secondary.

Thus, the strongest thunder-attribute soul beast was indeed the Thunder Beast.

Furthermore, as mentioned in the original work, there was indeed a spirit soul of a Thunder Beast within the Spirit Pagoda.
