After three days of travel, with two breaks along the way, Ying Chengfeng and the others finally arrived at Sunset Forest.
"Where is this treasured place you mentioned?" Azure Luan Elder landed in an open area of Sunset Forest.
His formidable Soul Power spread outward.
In an instant, a flock of Soul Beasts was startled and fled in every direction.
Ying Chengfeng stood beside Azure Luan Elder and looked around.
He wasn't entirely sure where the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was.
But that didn't matter.
"Grandpa, are you in a hurry? How about we take down Poison Douluo first?"
He didn't want Poison Douluo showing up to cause trouble while they were working at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
However, Azure Luan Douluo replied irritably, "Do you think Titled Douluo are easy to kill?"
"Poison Douluo may not be strong in battle, but if all he does is run, I'm not confident I can catch him."
"Besides, if Poison Douluo goes berserk, his poison could cost countless people their lives."
Ying Chengfeng lowered his head and fell into thought.
His grandfather's Azure Luan Martial Soul was a flying-type Martial Soul, too.
But it wasn't a speed-type Martial Soul with an extreme focus on speed.
And if Poison Douluo fled into the forest and made use of its poisonous creatures, he would indeed be difficult to chase.
At that moment, Azure Luan Elder continued, "We'd better look for the place you mentioned."
"I'll protect you for as long as I can."
Hearing this, Ying Chengfeng felt reassured. "Then... let's look to the east."
Sunset Forest wasn't very large, and the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had one very distinctive feature.
A ring of poisonous mist shrouded the area.
There was only one place in Sunset Forest shrouded in poisonous mist.
Poison Douluo had deliberately laid the poison to conceal his treasured land.
Wasn't that just like putting up a sign saying, "There's no silver buried here"?
Of course, the poisonous mist was potent.
Even Titled Douluo wouldn't pay it much attention, since they didn't want to come into contact with poison.
Those below the Titled Douluo level, meanwhile, couldn't withstand it.
That was why no one else had entered in all these years.
"Is it here?" Azure Luan Elder asked, looking at the poisonous mist a hundred meters ahead.
Ying Chengfeng and the others stood a hundred meters outside the area covered by the poisonous mist.
Azure Luan Elder hadn't dared to let a child like Ying Chengfeng get too close.
By then, Ying Chengfeng had already activated his Wind Domain.
"It should be."
As he spoke, Ying Chengfeng started toward the mist.
"Don't rush!" Azure Luan Elder reached out to grab him.
But he suddenly realized that his movements had slowed.
"What's going on?"
Azure Luan Douluo felt a surge of emotion roiling in his chest.
He was overwhelmed by shock and a jumble of complicated feelings.
Ying Chengfeng replied calmly, "Wind Domain."
"Within this domain, I can control anything related to the flow of air to a great extent."
"A domain?!" Azure Luan Elder's scalp went numb.
He no longer looked at Ying Chengfeng as if he were just some kind of monster.
This was practically a god!
He was certain Ying Chengfeng was a god!
Azure Luan Elder couldn't help feeling a little smug.
So what if Ying Chengfeng had a God-Given Martial Soul? His grandson had descended from the heavens!
Thinking of how his grandson had come into the world only made him more certain.
At this rate, who cared if his grandson had already stolen Qian Renxue away?
What if he stole Qian Renshuang, too?
If he really wanted to show off, he could even steal Pope Bibi Dong!
After indulging in his wild fantasies for a while, Azure Luan Elder gradually calmed down.
"What exactly does 'flow of air' refer to?" He hadn't quite understood, and he was full of curiosity about Ying Chengfeng's domain.
Ying Chengfeng thought for a moment. "The way the world flows... How do I explain it?"
"Anyway, within my domain, anything that can move will be affected by me."
Azure Luan Elder thought it over for a few seconds and grasped the gist.
Then he asked, "But poisonous mist doesn't count as airflow, does it?"
"It does," Ying Chengfeng replied. Then he added, "Poison doesn't count, but mist does."
As he spoke, Ying Chengfeng's Wind Domain surged outward.
In an instant, a vast swath of dense poisonous mist dispersed.
When the mist touched the surrounding trees, they withered and rotted on the spot.
"Gasp!" Azure Luan Elder sucked in a sharp breath.
But he quickly shut his mouth, afraid he might accidentally inhale the poison.
"What potent poison!" Azure Luan Elder remembered that there was someone in the Elder Hall called Porcupinefish Douluo.
Surely that fellow's poison wasn't this terrifying?
By then, the poisonous mist had cleared.
They could see the entrance to a small valley.
"This valley is rather well hidden." Azure Luan Elder was a little surprised. "It really is a treasured place."
Once the poisonous mist had dispersed, he could already sense the abundant life energy wafting out of the valley.
"Wait here for a while. I'll go in first and check for danger."
With that, Azure Luan Elder was about to enter the valley and inspect it.
Ying Chengfeng hurriedly said, "There are lots of Immortal Herbs inside. Don't damage them."
Azure Luan Elder's mouth twitched.
"Brat, you're not worried about whether your grandfather might run into danger, but you're fretting over some lousy Immortal Herbs?"
Azure Luan Elder was too busy scolding Ying Chengfeng for being an ungrateful little brat to notice that Ying Chengfeng already knew what was inside the valley.
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Ying Chengfeng's face.
"There won't be any danger. Let's go in together."
With that, Ying Chengfeng turned to the two girls, Qian Renxue and Yu Feiyan, and said:
"Stay within my domain, and you should be safe."
Ying Chengfeng didn't dare guarantee it.
His Wind Domain could block many kinds of attacks.
But against attacks that involved physical contact, all he could do was slow them down.
If he ran into Poison Douluo, for instance, she could infuse poison into her Soul Power and then use that Soul Power to attack someone's body. That would count as physical contact, too.
Ying Chengfeng was worried he might encounter Poison Douluo.
"There's no time to waste. Let's hurry inside," Ying Chengfeng urged, quickly thinking of this.
Just as they entered the valley, a powerful surge of Soul Power rushed toward them.
"Back!" Azure Luan Elder was the first to react.
He immediately released his Soul Power to counter the sudden attack.
The azure and green waves of Soul Power collided. The Soul Power that spilled from the clash caused the nearby plants to wither almost instantly.
"A Titled Douluo?"
A man dressed in green walked out of the valley.
"Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo?" Azure Luan Elder looked at the man in green before him.
"Who are you?" Dugu Bo eyed Azure Luan Elder warily.
In their brief probing exchange, he had been completely outmatched.
He had vaguely sensed a flash of killing intent from Azure Luan Elder.
Azure Luan Elder had concealed that killing intent very well.
At that point, Dugu Bo also noticed the three children behind Azure Luan Elder.
This made Dugu Bo feel considerably more at ease.
His poison might not work against the Titled Douluo before him, but dealing with a few children would be easy.
With that in mind, Dugu Bo said, "Leave now, and I won't hold you responsible for damaging my Herb Garden."
"Otherwise, I may have no way to deal with you, but I can't say the same for these three children."
"I, Dugu Bo, have roamed the continent without restraint and feared nothing! Don't doubt a word I say."
