"Chen Xin, Gu Rong, to think you would actually run all the way here. Don't you two never leave Ning Fengzhi's side?"

Dugu Bo's cold, sinister gaze fixed upon the few people before him.

"Why should we report to you about where we appear?"

"Or could it be that you think this Sunset Forest is your own private territory, Dugu Bo?"

Bone Douluo immediately let out a disdainful snort.

His words were incredibly blunt, leaving Dugu Bo with absolutely no shred of face.

Dugu Bo's expression turned frigid, his anger surging upward.

But looking at Sword Douluo to the side and Old Wu, who was eyeing him like a tiger stalking its prey, he ultimately held it back.

"Senior Dugu, we came to the Sunset Forest this time because there are some matters we would like to discuss with you."

Ye Ruilin spoke up, breaking the stalemate in the clearing.

Dugu Bo's gaze fell once again upon this half-grown boy.

A six-year-old child—in his eyes, an age that understood nothing—yet he possessed such courage to stare at him so openly.

"Kid, are you from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

Dugu Bo spoke, his voice icy.

Ye Ruilin heard this and looked over, shaking his head slightly.

Seeing him shake his head, a trace of relief flashed through Dugu Bo's eyes.

But it was instantly replaced by confusion.

No one knew he was in the Sunset Forest except for his granddaughter.

Could it be that these people had some connection to his granddaughter?

"What have you done to Yanyan?"

Thinking of this, a fierce killing intent instantly erupted from Dugu Bo's eyes, and he glared at the group, brimming with murderous aura.

If something had truly happened to his granddaughter, even if he were no match for these people, he would make sure to take one or two of them down with him.

"Senior Dugu, please do not worry. We have not done anything to your granddaughter."

Ye Ruilin explained.

"If you haven't done anything, how could you possibly know I'm here?"

"Other than Yanyan, no one else knows my whereabouts!"

Dugu Bo did not believe it at all.

"You had better hope you haven't done anything to Yanyan. If she suffers even the slightest harm, I, Dugu Bo, swear I will never let you off!"

"What does it matter even if you are from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

After speaking, he stared coldly at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, looking ready to fight to the death.

"You Old Poison Monster are truly laughable."

"We already told you, we haven't done a single thing to your granddaughter."

Bone Douluo was not afraid in the slightest, his gaze cold as he stared at Poison Douluo.

In his life, those who had threatened him were already buried deep, the grass on their graves three feet high, their bones turned to dust.

Sword Douluo's expression remained very calm, leaving the initiative entirely to Ye Ruilin.

After all, they had only come this time to follow Ye Ruilin's arrangements.

Dugu Bo did not believe Ye Ruilin's words.

But the moment Bone Douluo spoke, Dugu Bo's eyes instantly calmed.

For Title Douluo like them, they never deigned to tell lies; if they did it, they did it, and if they didn't, they didn't.

"What do you want with me?"

His emotions eased, and he was no longer as agitated as before.

"Senior Dugu, I came here this time for the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!"

Ye Ruilin spoke directly.

They possessed absolute strength on their side; Dugu Bo could not possibly be their match.

As long as Dugu Bo appeared, he was confident he could successfully subdue him and force him to hand over the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

The moment he heard "Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well," Dugu Bo's pupils contracted violently.

After all, he had never told anyone about this secret!

Even his own granddaughter, Dugu Yan, only knew that he lived in the Sunset Forest.

Under the heavens, apart from him, Dugu Bo, there was likely no one else who knew of the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"I have no idea what you are talking about."

Dugu Bo's eyes flickered, a flash of killing intent surfacing before being quickly suppressed.

If not for the three Title Douluo staring him down from behind.

The moment this youth mentioned the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he would have struck him down on the spot.

"Senior Dugu, you should be aware that since I have appeared here, it means I know the truth."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have traveled all this way into the Sunset Forest specifically to track you down, Senior Dugu."

His tone sharpened as he continued.

"Are you certain you want to play dumb with me?"

A faint smile appeared on Ye Ruilin's face.

He knew this old man wouldn't hand over the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well so easily.

If it were only Old Wu, this old man might have entertained the thought of killing them to keep the information hidden.

This time, to successfully secure the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well from Dugu Bo.

He had cashed in a massive favor.

Seeing the youth's tone so certain, and the coldness in those eyes.

Dugu Bo felt a sudden sense of lament; what was wrong with the young people these days?

He could not for the life of him figure out how the information about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had leaked.

And why did this youth know of its existence?

Looking at the calm expressions on the faces of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo behind him.

It seemed they had no idea what this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was.

This youth did not belong to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, yet he could command two of its powerful Title Douluo.

Just what was this youth's identity?

Countless questions flooded Dugu Bo's mind.

"Senior, how about I purchase it from you for a high price?"

Ye Ruilin decided to offer Dugu Bo a way out.

Hearing the mention of money, Dugu Bo let out a disdainful snort.

The treasures within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well were not something that could be measured by money.

He instinctively prepared to retort with a sneer, but then felt several icy gazes fixed upon him.

Dugu Bo swallowed the words that had reached his lips.

"Old man, buying it with money is giving you face."

"I hope you don't fail to appreciate kindness."

"The Young Master has a good temper, but mine is not so good."

Old Wu looked at Dugu Bo coldly, his tone chilling.

His martial soul, the Blazing Demon Dog, was inherently capable of suppressing certain toxins.

If it came to a fight, he really wasn't afraid of this old fellow reeking of poison.

Anger flashed in Dugu Bo's green eyes, his expression turning grim.

Though he hated to admit it, he was in a very passive position right now.

The presence of three Title Douluo was something he simply could not contend with.

If he refused.

Judging by the current situation, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo would certainly attack together.

He might actually end up losing his life here in the Sunset Forest.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was precious, but compared to his own life, it was not worth mentioning.

"You want the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well? Fine! But I have one condition."

Thinking of his own physical condition, Dugu Bo finally spoke.

Regardless of whether the other party could fulfill it, he wouldn't lose anything.

After all, he couldn't keep the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well anyway.

And since they knew it was in his possession, they would surely consider his terms to obtain it.

"Speak."

A gentle smile returned to Ye Ruilin's face.

"As everyone knows, my title is Poison Douluo."

"Between the toxins inherent to my martial soul and the poisons I have concocted myself, countless toxins have long since seeped deep into my body."

"As of now, my body can only be sustained by the unique environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

"But this method is merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause."

"I hope you can resolve the toxins within my body. If you agree, I will immediately hand over the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

After hearing Dugu Bo, Ye Ruilin nodded calmly, having already anticipated this.

Ma Hongjun slipped from the back to Ye Ruilin's side.

"Boss, we have the absolute advantage here, why consider his conditions?"

"If he doesn't agree, why not just beat him until he does!"

Ma Hongjun whispered into Ye Ruilin's ear.

Although his voice was low, under the absolute strength of a Title Douluo, it was still heard clearly.

Dugu Bo's icy gaze fell upon Ma Hongjun.

This was the first time Ma Hongjun felt the killing intent locked onto him by a Title Douluo.

His entire body felt as if it had been electrocuted, and he instantly froze in place.

Ye Ruilin stepped forward, blocking the space between the two.

"Senior, I am not proficient in medical arts, but if there is an opportunity in the future to resolve the toxins within you, I will certainly not refuse."

Ye Ruilin did not make an overly confident promise.

After all, he was not certain himself whether he could resolve the toxins in Dugu Bo's body.

"Hahahaha."

"What harm is there in trusting you once?"

"These toxins have been rooted in my body for many years; I can still afford to wait another twenty years or so."

Dugu Bo's judgment was still very sharp.

Although he did not know Ye Ruilin's specific identity.

From their brief confrontation just now, he could see that this youth had a decisive and ruthless temperament!

The killing intent that flashed through Ye Ruilin's eyes just now, though instantaneous, had been clearly captured by him.

With such courage and decisive actions, if his talent was outstanding, he would surely be a powerhouse in the future.

With two Title Douluo from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect sitting by, and another Title Douluo willing to serve as a servant.

Although he lost a treasure like the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Being able to forge a good relationship with such a future powerhouse was not a losing deal.

"Follow me."

"Since you have already agreed, I, Dugu Bo, am not a man who goes back on his word."

The poisonous mist around Dugu Bo slowly dissipated, and his figure was completely revealed before everyone.

Old Wu arrived at Ye Ruilin's side at the first opportunity.

He always remembered his mission, which was to protect the safety of the Young Master.

Even though the person in front of them had agreed to hand over the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to the Young Master.

The caution in his bones still made him distrust anyone.

Only when the Young Master was under his own eyes could he feel at ease.

Ye Ruilin understood Old Wu's thoughts and smiled without saying anything.

"Two seniors, let's go together."

"This is the purpose of my trip to the Sunset Forest."

"Once we return from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, the promise will be considered fulfilled."

Ye Ruilin turned his head to look at Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo, speaking with a smile.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo merely nodded calmly, while Ning Rongrong curiously ran over.

"Brother Ye, what kind of place is that exactly? I want to go too!"

The little girl was full of curiosity about unknown places.
