Dugu Bo

"Xiaochen, regarding this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, can we only confirm it is in the core area of the Sunset Forest, with no way to pinpoint its exact location?"

After leaving Skywater City, Yu Yuanzhen sat inside the carriage and asked Yu Tianchen.

"That is what was recorded in the ancient text I perused."

Yu Tianchen nodded and continued:

"However, after discovering that ancient text, I specifically sent people to investigate, and I did obtain some useful information."

"What information?"

"I wonder if Grandfather has any impression of the senior Poison Douluo Dugu Bo?"

"That Old Poison Freak?"

Yu Yuanzhen's brows furrowed slightly:

"Why bring him up all of a sudden? Could it be that he has some connection to this treasure land?"

"Mm, he likely does."

Yu Tianchen kept his words somewhat vague:

"The information I gathered is that Dugu Bo often disappears for periods of time, and the place he disappears to is precisely the Sunset Forest."

"Heh, if that's the case, that old fellow must have claimed that treasure land for himself."

Yu Yuanzhen let out a low chuckle, a glint of killing intent erupting within his aged, powerful eyes.

Why would a Title Douluo frequently enter the Sunset Forest when he no longer needs to hunt soul beasts?

Combining this with the information Yu Tianchen held regarding that treasure land, the answer had already surfaced.

"Xiaochen, what do you say?"

"Should we just go and..."

Yu Yuanzhen made a throat-slitting gesture toward Yu Tianchen.

"No need, Grandfather."

Yu Tianchen shook his head gently and said with a smile:

"Killing to seize treasure is certainly satisfying, but if we fail, we would be needlessly provoking a formidable enemy for our family."

"Therefore, that method should only be used as a last resort."

"With you acting as a deterrent, I feel that we can still negotiate with senior Poison Douluo."

Hearing Yu Tianchen say this, Yu Yuanzhen understood that his grandson already had a plan in mind.

Although he was not clear on exactly how Yu Tianchen intended to negotiate, Yu Yuanzhen did not plan to interfere too much.

He was merely accompanying Yu Tianchen on this treasure hunt, so naturally, he would defer to Yu Tianchen's own wishes.

This could also be considered a form of training for Yu Tianchen.

"Since you already have a plan, let's head straight to Heaven Dou City."

Yu Yuanzhen said:

"If that Old Poison Freak hasn't gone to the Sunset Forest, he basically won't be anywhere else."

"Alright."

Yu Tianchen nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked Yu Yuanzhen:

"By the way, Grandfather, do you know where Poison Douluo resides in Heaven Dou City?"

"Heh, as long as that Old Poison Freak hasn't left Heaven Dou City, finding him won't be difficult."

Yu Yuanzhen smiled confidently.

As the Sect Master of the Overlord Dragon, he certainly possessed that level of information channels.

Skywater City was not very far from Heaven Dou City.

By the time the sky had turned completely dark, the grandfather and grandson had already arrived in Heaven Dou City.

As the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City was far more prosperous than Skywater City.

Even though it was already night, the streets remained incredibly lively.

Looking through the carriage window, Yu Tianchen gazed at the capital of the nation and the people within this city.

Young masters dressed in fine silks paraded through the streets, while their attendants drove away those wearing coarse linen clothes with looks of disgust.

A pot-bellied middle-aged man, with arms around women on both sides, stepped on the backs of servants to board his carriage.

In just a single street, Yu Tianchen took in the so-called class distinctions of this world.

"It is fortunate that Martial Soul Hall still provides a way out for the commoners."

"Otherwise, who knows what this world might turn into."

Yu Tianchen murmured softly, withdrawing his gaze.

To change all of this, one must possess sufficient strength and influence.

These things were still far too distant for him at present.

For now, Yu Tianchen could only bury these thoughts deep within his heart.

Beside him, Yu Yuanzhen had been observing Yu Tianchen's expression the entire time.

Even Yu Tianchen's recent murmurs were heard clearly by his ears.

Yet he did not speak, nor did his face betray any emotion.

Yu Tianchen had his own path to walk.

As his grandfather, all he could do was provide support within his power.

However, it seemed that his little grandson might just accomplish something extraordinary in the future...

The carriage traveled for a while before arriving at a rather secluded courtyard.

Located near the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, this was a place where only high-ranking officials and nobles could reside.

The two stepped off the carriage, and under Yu Yuanzhen's lead, they arrived at one of the courtyards.

"This is the place."

Yu Yuanzhen said to Yu Tianchen:

"I can sense that Old Poison Freak is here right now."

"Then Grandfather, shall I go knock on the door?"

Yu Tianchen asked Yu Yuanzhen.

"No need."

Yu Yuanzhen shook his head and said with a smile:

"He is already here."

As the words fell, a figure with dark green hair and beard stood atop the courtyard gate.

"Hmph, Yu Yuanzhen, it seems you old dragon came specifically for me?"

Dugu Bo stared at Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Tianchen, his eyes narrowing with intense vigilance.

"Hahaha, why are you so nervous, Old Poison Freak?"

Yu Yuanzhen laughed loudly:

"What, I brought my grandson to visit you, and you're planning to turn me away?"

"Your grandson?"

Dugu Bo then shifted his gaze toward Yu Tianchen.

As a Titled Douluo, the soul power fluctuations on Yu Tianchen naturally could not be hidden from him.

A look of surprise appeared on his face:

"Good lad."

"Only eight years old, and already at the realm of a Soul Grand Master?"

"This must be that little fellow from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan who awakened a mutated martial soul and possessed Innate Full Soul Power two years ago, right?"

"You really did strike gold, you old dragon."

As he spoke, he jumped down from the gate and opened it.

"Come inside and talk."

Yu Yuanzhen nodded and looked at Yu Tianchen.

"Let's go."

"Alright."

Yu Tianchen nodded and walked into the courtyard with Yu Yuanzhen.

Dugu Bo's small courtyard was not large and was essentially empty.

It appeared to be nothing more than a place for temporary residence.

After entering the main hall, the three took their seats, and Dugu Bo spoke directly:

"This is just a place for my personal cultivation; no one usually lives here, so I won't bother with formalities."

"Speak up. What business does the sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have with me?"

"Don't give me that nonsense about bringing a junior to visit; you and I, old dragon, aren't on such friendly terms."

"Hmph, Old Poison Freak, still as caustic as ever."

Yu Yuanzhen snorted and said indifferently:

"But you're right, I do have a reason for finding you this time."

"However, it isn't me who has business with you, but my little grandson here who has something he wishes to discuss."
