If there was no avoiding it, then fight!

"Fine. I'll go, then."

Gu Rong fell silent for a moment, then clicked his tongue, finally accepting the task.

He straightened, his gaunt figure casting a long shadow by the window.

"Then I'll await your good news, Uncle Bone."

Ning Fengzhi smiled and raised his teacup to Gu Rong in farewell.

Gu Rong nodded without another word.

He turned toward the window, planted his bony foot on the sill, and leaped out.

His figure flickered twice in midair like smoke scattered by the wind, then vanished in the blink of an eye.

Only a few dead leaves stirred by his passage remained outside the window, drifting slowly down.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was near Heaven Dou City, not far from Sunset Forest.

At Gu Rong's speed as a Titled Douluo, the journey took little time.

Before long, Sunset Forest's two distinctive peaks appeared on the horizon. One glowed red as burning coals, the other shone silver-white as ice, standing side by side and piercing the clouds.

Gu Rong landed outside the sea of jade phosphorus seven-absolute flowers.

The moment his foot touched the rotting leaves on the ground, he stopped suppressing his aura.

He unleashed his Titled Douluo-level soul power without restraint. An eerie white glow flowed over his body like cold flames.

The immense aura spread outward in every direction, sending nearby soul beasts fleeing. Even the green mist above the sea of jade phosphorus seven-absolute flowers churned.

"A Titled Douluo's aura?"

Inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Bai He sensed the immense aura coming from outside the valley and instinctively looked toward its entrance.

He had been sitting beside the spring, regulating his breathing. Now his eyes snapped open and his brows furrowed.

"Are Jian'er and Old Orangutan back already?"

"No. That isn't Jian'er's aura."
