"Beyond this poison formation?!"

Ye Guyi was delighted, but then frowned.

"But this looks man-made. Could someone have already gotten here first?!"

"Indeed, but Sister Guyi needn't worry."

Ye Han remained calm, as though everything was under his control.

"Whoever it was doesn't have the ability to touch what's inside yet!"

Hearing this, Ye Guyi relaxed.

"Then let's find a way in. How about flying over it or blowing it apart?!"

Ye Han shook his head.

"No. If it were that easy to enter, the outside world would have discovered it long ago."

As he spoke, he patiently explained the details of the poison formation.

The poisonous miasma covered all directions, including the sky above its center, and it could not be blown inward.

That was because the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well within generated an energy field that fixed the miasma in place.

Spirit Hall had even explored much of the Star Dou Forest. How could it possibly have neglected Sunset Forest?!

If they could have simply flown around it or blown it apart, they would have entered long ago.

Even if Bibi Dong and Pufferfish Douluo came personally, they would still have to go to great lengths.

After all, this poison formation had not been created by Dugu Bo alone.

It had been arranged around a cluster of an extraordinarily poisonous flower.

Jade Phosphor Seven-Absolute Flower!!!

After hearing this, Xiao Wu looked at him with admiration.

So easy to understand! As expected of Lord Dragon God!

Ye Guyi was just about to ask how to break the formation.

However, at that moment—

An eerie, sinister cackle suddenly came from deep within the poisonous miasma.

"Hehehe, quite the knowledgeable little brat. What a pity this is where you stop!"

"Daring to trespass into this old man's forbidden grounds leaves you with only one ending—death!!!"

The voice shook the miasma into rolling waves, and the fog boiled like a living creature.

"Who is eavesdropping?!"

Ye Guyi stepped forward and shielded Ye Han and Xiao Wu behind her.

A tall figure could vaguely be seen slowly emerging from the depths of the miasma.

The newcomer wore a green robe. His face was deeply lined, while his eyes were as sinister as a venomous snake's.

Behind him was a massive serpent—the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor—as nine Soul Rings rose one after another.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black!!

Soul Power, Level 91!!!

Ye Han did not need to think to know who the man was.

"Titled Douluo!!"

Xiao Wu was the first to cry out.

Dugu Bo turned toward her voice.

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year transformed Soul Beast!!!"

"Hehehe, what a splendid gift delivered right to my door!!"

His pupils lit up as ecstasy filled his face.

Xiao Wu trembled as she hid behind Ye Han, her petite body shaking.

"Your Excellency must be the famed Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, correct?!"

Based on records from the future, Ye Guyi made her guess and stepped forward.

"The dead do not need to know!!"

Dugu Bo could not be bothered with more nonsense. He intended to kill them.

And seize the Hundred-Thousand-Year transformed Soul Beast, Xiao Wu!!

"The only one who will die is you!!"

Ye Guyi's gaze turned cold as the Holy Angel descended.

Six wings abruptly unfurled as nine Soul Rings rose.

Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Black!!

Until the final Soul Ring descended.

Red!!!

Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!!!

Her Level 91 Soul Power swept in every direction.

"Ah... ah?!"

Dugu Bo stared at the rising Soul Rings and was instantly dumbfounded.

Though they were at the same level, the augmentation from their Soul Rings made their strength worlds apart!

Not to mention that among Titled Douluo, he had always been one of the weakest!

What shocked him even more was that this woman looked to be under twenty!

"Eight Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings! One Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring!!"

"How is that possible? You... how did you do it?!"

Dugu Bo was completely stunned, his understanding of the world utterly shattered.

"You have an Angel Martial Soul. You're from Spirit Hall!!"

"Were you specially sent by Spirit Hall to kill me?!!"

In his early years, he had refused to join Spirit Hall and killed many of its elites, resulting in an order for his pursuit and execution.

Though Prince Snow Star later saved him, Spirit Hall had continued to bear a grudge, so this was the first possibility that came to mind.

"The dead do not need to know!!"

Ye Guyi threw his own words back at him.

Then, without further nonsense, she swung her holy sword and prepared to attack.

According to records from the future, Dugu Bo had been one of Tang San's greatest allies!

Not only had he saved him many times, but during the final battle, he had used poison to slaughter the entire city of Spirit City!

A man burdened with such grave sins was no different from an Evil Soul Master! Today, he had to die!!

Not good! Killing intent!!

Sensing her murderous intent, Dugu Bo prepared to flee back into the poison formation.

"Sister Guyi, wait!!"

At the critical moment, Ye Han stepped forward and spoke.

Ye Guyi immediately stopped.

Though she was puzzled, she trusted him completely and did not ask further.

Dugu Bo frowned and turned his gaze toward Ye Han.

Ye Han did not waste words and got straight to the point.

He directly entered the Immortal Herb gift pack redemption code!

"Dugu Bo, we did not come to kill you! On the contrary, we came to save you!"

"I can cure the poison in your body and permanently resolve the flaw in your Martial Soul!!"

The moment those words fell, the entire area went silent.

Cure the poison?!

Ye Guyi quickly understood.

According to future records, the Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor Martial Soul possessed a severe flaw!

Its cultivation produced poison that accumulated over time until it eventually erupted!

So that was why Xiaohan had stopped her from killing him. He wanted to make use of him!

"You know about it?!!"

Dugu Bo was greatly shocked, but he soon sneered in disdain.

"Why should this old man believe you? You look young, yet you speak so arrogantly!!"

His Martial Soul had been passed down through his family generation after generation.

It had a history of at least a thousand years, yet they had never found a complete solution.

Could a little brat possibly understand it better than him and all his ancestors?!

"Arrogance requires skill, and I happen to have it!"

Ye Han snorted coldly, and with a thought—

"Roar!!"

The Golden Dragon Martial Soul soared into the sky.

Supreme dragon might instantly descended upon Dugu Bo.

"Hiss!!"

Dugu Bo was dumbfounded.

Because...

His Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor Martial Soul was instinctively trembling from the depths of his soul!

Bloodline suppression!!

The Jade Phosphor Snake Emperor was considered superior even among top-tier Martial Souls, yet it was being suppressed!

But before Dugu Bo could figure out what was happening—

The next sight shattered his understanding even further!

Buzz!

The first Soul Ring...

6,913 years, deep purple!!

Buzz!

The second Soul Ring...

7,891 years, deep purple!!

Two Soul Rings rose and revolved around Ye Han.

Along with the release of his Level 24 Soul Power!

"How... how is this possible!"

Dugu Bo cried out in shock, his emerald eyes filled with disbelief.

"This is the foundation of my arrogance!!"

Ye Han's words jolted Dugu Bo awake.

"If you can truly cure the poison... then it probably won't be without conditions, will it?!"

As an old fox, Dugu Bo understood such principles.

"Of course."

Ye Han's gaze passed over him and fell upon the poisonous miasma as he got straight to the point.

"As the price, everything beyond the poisonous miasma belongs to me!"

Dugu Bo's face instantly darkened.

What an outrageous demand!!

"Heh."

Ye Han remained unhurried and merely said calmly.

"You may have gotten used to it, and you may not care, but what about your granddaughter?"

"Dugu Bo, you wouldn't want your granddaughter to suffer through life like you do in the future, would you?!"

His granddaughter, Dugu Yan, had always been Dugu Bo's weak spot.

When he thought of his Yan Yan, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Fine! This old man agrees! But you had better keep your word!!"

This boy's Martial Soul and Soul Ring configuration were monstrously powerful.

The woman with the Angel Martial Soul beside him had an even more terrifying Soul Ring configuration!

And they had even tamed a Hundred-Thousand-Year transformed Soul Beast and kept her at their side.

There was likely no deception...

"Then lead the way!"

"Fine!"

Dugu Bo did not delay in the slightest and respectfully led the way.

Using his ability to control poison, he easily opened a passage.

The three followed him. The deeper they went, the denser the spiritual energy became!

After passing through the jade-green poisonous miasma, the view before them suddenly opened up.

An incomparably strange and magnificent scene unfolded before their eyes.

As far as the eye could see lay a vast, majestic valley.

At the center of the valley was a miraculous red-and-blue spring.

It did not cover a vast area, yet the sight within was extraordinarily bizarre!

Half the spring water was icy blue, suffused with a bone-piercing chill.

The other half was fiery red, roiling with overwhelming, extreme heat.

Two utterly opposing powers of ice and fire coexisted here in a miraculous balance.

Around the spring grew numerous rare Immortal Herbs of all different shapes and forms!

The Ice Fire Yin Yang Well!
