Silence.
Qian Renxue's actions came without the slightest warning. The others had no time to stop her. By the time she jumped into the spring, it was already too late to intervene.
They stared blankly at the churning waters, sensing the terrifying power of ice and fire within. Qianjun and Jiang Mo were both dumbfounded!
She jumped in!
She jumped in!
She jumped in!
Little Xue jumped in!
"Fuck! Jiang Mo! How the hell were you watching her?! You couldn't even keep an eye on a Soul Elder, and you just let the young mistress jump in! Is your brain full of water?!"
Seeing the Ice-Fire Spring without even a splash, Qianjun flew into a furious rage and roared at Jiang Mo!
He should never have—never have—let Jiang Mo watch her!
Damn it!
A level ninety-five Title Douluo!
He couldn't even keep watch over a Soul Elder! What was the point of all that strength? Had he cultivated all those years for nothing?!
If Qian Renxue had not left behind a sentence before jumping in, Qianjun would have wanted to rush over and kill Jiang Mo right then, even if they were biological brothers!
Jiang Mo remained unmoved in the face of Qianjun's fury. He was still stunned, unable to figure something out.
With his level ninety-five soul power, how had Qian Renxue, a tiny Soul Elder, managed to ignore him?
From the moment Qian Renxue began speaking to the instant she leaped from the spot, the soul power barrier Jiang Mo had set up showed not the slightest reaction.
That wasn't scientific.
No, it was not just Qian Renxue. That flower and that grass had also completely ignored his soul power.
Jiang Mo began to question his life. Was he really a level ninety-five Title Douluo? Or was he merely an ordinary person without even a trace of soul power?
Only after this dazed state lasted several dozen seconds did Jiang Mo come back to himself. Looking at the enraged Qianjun, he could only say helplessly:
"Calm down. It isn't that I didn't protect her. My soul power simply lost all effect on the young mistress. Before she jumped down, she directly ignored my soul power."
"And those two exotic flowers and herbs were the same as the young mistress. They completely ignored the soul power I set up."
What could he do when his soul power had completely stopped working? He was confused too, all right?!
After saying that, Jiang Mo ignored the furious Qianjun and looked at Dugu Bo. "Tell me. What are that flower and that grass?"
"As the owner of this place, you should have seen them before, right?"
"..."
Dugu Bo had been trying his best to minimize his presence and was quietly backing away. When he saw Jiang Mo looking at him, he awkwardly stopped.
"Well... I don't know what they are called either. I only know they grow on either side of this Ice-Fire Spring. The flower is fire-attributed, while the grass is ice-attributed."
"A fire flower and an ice grass?"
Jiang Mo recalled the colors of the flower and grass, and a strange feeling rose in his heart. Were they companion treasures of the Ice-Fire Spring?
He asked again, "Growing in such an environment, did you never consider picking them or studying them?"
"I once considered it, but before I even came within ten meters of them, their poison drove me back."
Dugu Bo cautiously glanced at the two of them. "Those two plants aren't rare treasures. They are highly poisonous things! More poisonous than the poison in my body!"
"I don't know why they suddenly flew up or why they entered your Holy Maiden's body. I don't understand them at all, and I can't control that flower or grass."
Dugu Bo spoke with extreme care, explaining the properties of the two poisonous plants while distancing himself from them, afraid that the two furious level ninety-fives would tear him apart alive.
"..."
"..."
After hearing Dugu Bo's words, the anger on Qianjun's face faded. His expression turned ugly as he looked at Jiang Mo. "Are you sure this is an opportunity?"
"Wait and see."
Jiang Mo sighed. Two highly poisonous objects and an Ice-Fire Spring that even Title Douluos did not dare explore too deeply.
Together, the three should produce some sort of wondrous reaction, right?
Lord Angel God would not harm the young mistress, would she?
But was this opportunity... truly guided by Lord Angel God?
He glanced around at the surrounding attributes. No matter how he looked at them, they seemed entirely incompatible with Lord Angel God's nature.
Could it be... some Evil God?
Uh...
Delusion!
Be gone!
The one guiding the young mistress had to be Lord Angel God!
"With such dense ice and fire power, it should be enough to conceal my aura."
After carefully testing it, Lu Chen raised the strength of this avatar to roughly that of a Rank Three God, then stopped.
He then looked at Qian Renxue, who had fallen asleep the moment she entered the spring. Watching the tiny figure curled up into a ball, he extended a finger and lightly touched her forehead.
"Absorb the power here well. The more you absorb, the greater the help it will give you in what comes next!"
Qian Renxue's eyelids twitched, as though she were telling him that she had heard him.
Lu Chen smiled. After injecting a stream of energy into Qian Renxue's body to ensure the ice and fire powers within her would not fall out of balance, he plunged downward without hesitation.
One meter!
One hundred meters!
One thousand meters!
Ten thousand meters!
When he reached the depths beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, a barrier filled with dazzling colors blocked his path.
Lu Chen smiled faintly. After reaching out and poking through the barrier, he swiftly slipped inside.
In an instant, an enormous lava cave appeared before him. The cave was divided into red and blue halves, with a massive dragon skeleton lying prone in each.
Even from afar, he could still feel the overwhelming pressure rushing toward him.
Though they had long been dead and their corpses exposed to the wilderness, their dragon might remained!
"Just as expected."
A sharp gleam flashed in Lu Chen's eyes. Nearly the entirety of Douluo Continent was under the control of him, the master of the Heavenly Dao, with only a handful of places beyond his grasp.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was one of them!
He did not want to touch the other places, because they either contained divine inheritances or had some dragon sleeping within.
Only the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was different.
A place without a divine inheritance or a slumbering powerhouse had actually escaped the control of him, the Heavenly Dao!
How could he allow that?!
Two mere fallen Dragon Kings had dared establish a tiny kingdom right under the eyes of him, Lord Heavenly Dao.
They truly did not know their place!
So hand them over!
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed at the remains of the two Dragon Kings!
Roar!
The instant he moved, one blue and one red Dragon Soul rose from the long-dead skeletons and roared at Lu Chen.
Boundless flames and skies filled with ice and snow surged toward Lu Chen under the control of the two Dragon Souls.
"Vile beasts!"
Lu Chen snorted coldly. "You are dead, so lie down obediently! You dare act recklessly before me, the Heavenly Dao? You are courting death!"
Crack! Crack!
With a thought, chains of laws emerged from the void and pierced into the two Dragon Souls like spears.
Roar!
The two Dragon Souls let out mournful cries!
The two authorities of flame and ice vanished!
After taking back the two authorities, Lu Chen's eyes narrowed. Both hands shot out and clamped around the throats of the two Dragon Souls.
A moment later, the two Dragon Souls lost their last trace of resistance.
"Vile beasts dead for so long, yet you still dared to show your ferocity before me, the Heavenly Dao!"
Disdain flashed through Lu Chen's eyes. He put away the Dragon Souls and dragon skeletons, then vanished from the spot in the blink of an eye, returning to the Heavenly Dao's residence.
Inside the flower garden.
After retracting his avatar, Lu Chen released the Dragon Souls and silently studied them.
"Two Dragon Souls without consciousness. I wonder whether they can still be used."
Frowning, he waved his hand. Streams of energy invaded their bodies, and regardless of their mournful cries, he branded them with his mark.
After dealing with the two Dragon Souls, Lu Chen turned his gaze toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Once he confirmed that Qian Renxue was safe, he leisurely resumed drinking his tea.
