Encountering Dugu Bo Again

The old sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, who was also Ning Fengzhi's father, belonged to the same era as Qian Daoliu.

His name was Ning Yue.

In the world of spirit masters, this man was considered a genius.

The cultivation speed of support-type spirit masters slows down significantly after reaching the Spirit King realm, and it takes at least thirty years to reach the Spirit Saint realm.

Yet, he managed to reach the Spirit Saint realm in just twenty years.

Had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda not been limited to seven spirit rings, he would likely have already reached the Title Douluo realm.

Spirit masters with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, despite having only seven spirit rings, could live to be one hundred and fifty years old, provided they did not die from accidents.

He was now one hundred and twenty-five years old, only five years younger than Qian Daoliu.

"Father, what is the background of this old man?" Ning Fengzhi asked, puzzled.

"This guy is an old turtle. He is from the same era as your grandfather; I doubt many people on the continent have even heard of his deeds!" Ning Yue looked at him, his tone filled with a sense of disbelief.

"Before the previous Pope ascended to the throne, this guy was the Adjudication Elder of Spirit Hall. It is no exaggeration to say that this period was the most stable time the continent has ever seen!"

"He took a hardline approach against those fallen spirit masters. The total number of fallen spirit masters killed by the Seven Great Sects combined doesn't even add up to the number he killed alone."

"To think that a man with such a heavy thirst for killing is still alive today—it simply defies common sense!"

After saying this, Ning Yue could not help but cough twice due to his agitation.

"Father, you shouldn't get so excited." Ning Fengzhi prepared to step forward, but was stopped.

"Fengzhi, as long as this old fellow is alive, you must never go against Spirit Hall. Even if Emperor Xue Ye asks you to assist in an operation, you must not agree!"

"Back then, the elders of the Seven Great Sects didn't believe it, and the consequences were miserable. The compensation alone amounted to at least eighty million gold spirit coins."

Ning Yue knew that his son was walking very closely with the Heaven Dou Empire for the sake of the sect's future.

But when it came to matters involving the sect's interests, one could never be careless.

"Father, no matter how powerful he was, he is now frail and old. Perhaps he can no longer stir up any trouble."

"With the assistance of Uncle Sword and Uncle Gu, the sect will not have any problems."

Ning Fengzhi still harbored a sense of luck; with two Title Douluos sitting in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he was not afraid of any danger!

Ning Yue immediately said, "Foolish! No one knows how many Title Douluos that old fellow has cultivated!"

"When it comes to judging people, he is the most ruthless. Back then, three Title Douluos appeared among the fallen spirit masters, and one of them even had a spirit power reaching level ninety-five!"

"Yet, he led seven Title Douluos on an expedition. Among those seven, four were level ninety-seven and three were level ninety-four—all people we had never seen before."

"He may have retired, but the power he holds in his hands is stronger than anyone could imagine."

Ning Yue knew well the extent of Qian Yufeng's prowess. Despite being only a Spirit Douluo himself, he could summon a large group of Title Douluos who were willing to work for him.

The key was that these people were all super-experts not registered with Spirit Hall.

There was one more thing Ning Yue did not mention: the Sword Douluo's father had once sparred with him.

Even at the eight-ring level, and even after advancing to the ninth ring, Qian Yufeng had blocked five strikes of the Kill Character Art.

The defensive power of his martial soul was far stronger than the current Diamond Mammoth or Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was shocked. If this old man was still alive, wouldn't the status of Spirit Hall be as stable as Mount Tai?!

He had thought that by inheriting the position of sect master, he could show off his skills, but he had not expected to still be a novice player.

As the father and son of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect exchanged words, the situation for other factions was self-evident.

Many of the old men still alive felt fear toward Qian Yufeng, a senior from the previous generation.

Their fathers had been terrified by the compensation they had to pay.

Many cursed in their hearts: You old thing, why are you still alive?!

The old patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family immediately sent word to the current leader, Yu Yuanzhen, to never let their relationship with Spirit Hall become too strained.

He had personally experienced Qian Yufeng's style back then, and such a problem could not be allowed to happen a second time.

After Yu Yuanzhen took over as patriarch, he ignored many of the cooperative efforts with Spirit Hall.

The relationship between the two had become increasingly rigid; even during the honorary elder assemblies, Yu Yuanzhen never attended.

Even the powerful Clear Sky Sect gave Spirit Hall some face in this regard, but Yu Yuanzhen simply refused.

Pope Qian Xunji must have harbored a great deal of dissatisfaction, just waiting for an opportunity to settle the score.

Now that this old immortal Qian Yufeng was still alive, going against Spirit Hall was no different from seeking death.

As for the noble lords living in retirement in Heaven Dou City, it went without saying.

Back then, Qian Yufeng had frequently squeezed them for gold coins in order to deal with the fallen spirit masters.

They paid for peace, but they couldn't handle the frequency of the demands!

If Qian Yufeng knew their thoughts, he would surely smile and say, "I am only one hundred and eighty years old; it is the prime age to go out and explore!"

What a joke—he was a man with a five-hundred-year lifespan; at one hundred and eighty, he had only lived through one-third of his life!

Returning to Qian Yufeng, he was walking toward the meeting point when a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Senior, when did you arrive in Heaven Dou City?"

Hearing this, he turned his head to see that it was none other than Dugu Bo.

The other man's complexion had improved slightly compared to before, but the faint, fishy scent lingering on his body still could not be masked.

"Dugu Bo, I came to Heaven Dou City to see an old friend one last time, and now it is time for me to return."

"Where are you planning to go?"

Qian Yufeng spoke, though he did not ask about the other man's physical condition.

Dugu Bo's eyes flickered slightly as he stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Senior, I truly found a peculiar place in the Sunset Forest. You were right; my destiny was indeed there."

"This is not the place to talk. Please, follow me, Senior."

Qian Yufeng feigned surprise and said, "Very well, lead the way."

Afterward, Dugu Bo brought him to the courtyard where he resided outside of Heaven Dou City.

Upon entering the house, Dugu Bo immediately bowed.

"Senior, I did not believe your words at first, but I still went to the Sunset Forest with a sense of curiosity."

"I discovered a special valley where ice and fire intertwine. The center resembles a spring, yet it is filled with fire poison and cold poison. Surprisingly, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison within my body has been suppressed by it."

Qian Yufeng nodded and smiled, "It seems you are the fated person for that place."

However, he sighed simultaneously, "But merely suppressing the poison is only a temporary measure."

Dugu Bo agreed deeply, but having returned this time, he intended to live in that place to research a method to suppress the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor poison.

"Senior, I plan to stay there long-term to conduct research. I wonder if you would be interested in coming with me to take a look?"

Faced with Dugu Bo's invitation, Qian Yufeng naturally accepted with pleasure.

That was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

What transmigrator in the Douluo world wouldn't covet it?!

"Hmm, I would indeed like to explore this miraculous place."

"Wait here for a moment; I need to call someone."

After Qian Yufeng finished speaking, he took out an Assembly Signal Flare and pulled the firing cord toward the sky.
