Sunset Forest

"This disciple is fine," Dongfang Yu replied tactfully.

Bibi Dong frowned slightly, her voice turning cold. "What happened?"

Dongfang Yu then gave an embellished account of Dugu Bo's affairs, casting himself as the greatest victim.

"He wanted to gouge out your eyes just because you looked at her? Dugu Bo even disregarded his status and attacked you..." Bibi Dong said coldly.

What an attitude. As the Pope, she would not gouge out someone's eyes just for looking at her twice. This Dugu Yan really was "noble."

And Dugu Bo, a Title Douluo, had actually disregarded his status and attacked a Soul Elder—her disciple, no less.

"They're quite something... Someone, come."

"Your Holiness." Yue Guan entered from outside the hall.

"Accompany Yu on a trip. My disciple is not someone just anyone can discipline." Bibi Dong's tone was calm, but the fury beneath it made one shudder.

"Yes, Your Holiness." Yue Guan and Dongfang Yu withdrew.

Bibi Dong also suspected that Dongfang Yu might have concealed something, but that was not important. If juniors fought and one lost, it only meant they were inferior in skill, and no one could say anything about it. But for a Title Douluo to intervene was truly going too far.

Since they liked using the strong to bully the weak, Bibi Dong did not mind doing it once herself.

Did they really take the Pope of Spirit Hall for some kind-hearted saint?

Elsewhere.

Yue Guan and Dongfang Yu walked along the road leading out of Spirit City.

"Yu, where are we going?" Yue Guan asked.

Dongfang Yu thought for a moment. "He should be in Sunset Forest." Dugu Bo did not usually stay in Heaven Dou City. He had probably just happened to be there that day.

Yue Guan nodded slightly and said coldly, "That old poisoner. Let's see how I teach him a lesson this time."

Dongfang Yu smiled. To be fair, Yue Guan's soul power was higher than Dugu Bo's. Without Tang San's hidden weapons in the original story, Dugu Bo truly would not have been Yue Guan's match.

Now, there was even less need to consider it. Dugu Bo only needed to wait for his beating.

A few days later, Sunset Forest.

Located more than several hundred li outside Heaven Dou Imperial City, this place was rarely visited. Thick miasma filled the area, and ordinary people who crossed its borders risked losing their lives.

Weeds ran rampant within, while tigers roared and apes cried. Everything about it revealed that this was no safe place. Rather than calling it a mysterious forest, it would be more fitting to call it a deadly forbidden land.

The moment Yue Guan and Dongfang Yu stepped into the forest, they both frowned.

"This place is filled with danger. It's not simple."

Dongfang Yu nodded deeply. Besides soul beasts, there was also Dugu Bo's poison formation here. It truly was dangerous.

"Yu, stay behind me," Yue Guan said before taking the lead.

After roughly half an hour, the two finally reached the heart of the forest. Strangely, there were fewer soul beasts in the center.

They had encountered some along the way. Logically, there should have been more at the center.

Dongfang Yu glanced around. Of course, he knew why. This was Dugu Bo's territory.

"Uncle Yue, it should be here."

Yue Guan nodded slightly, then looked around as well. He muttered, "There seems to be poison all around here. That old poisoner!"

Then he gathered his breath in his dantian and shouted, "Dugu Bo! Come out and meet me!"

After his words fell, several minutes passed.

"Tap!"

A sound came from above them.

"Who dares call this old man by name?"

Then, a figure descended from the sky!

The newcomer stood with his hands behind his back and did not even look at them directly, putting on the airs of a transcendent master.

The corners of their mouths twitched. This old bastard really knew how to make an entrance!

"Old poisoner, you don't recognize me anymore?" Yue Guan asked coldly.

"Hm?" Dugu Bo sized them up.

"Yue Guan? And you, brat..."

Dugu Bo's expression immediately darkened. They had really come to his door looking for trouble. Misfortune could not be avoided after all.

"What do you want?"

Dongfang Yu smiled. "Guests are guests. Senior Dugu, won't you invite us inside to sit?"

Yue Guan was somewhat puzzled. Weren't they here to kick up trouble?

Dugu Bo was also stunned. Hm? They were not here to cause trouble?

Moreover, Dongfang Yu gave him a different feeling now.

A few days ago, he had carried himself like he was the greatest under heaven, arrogant and overbearing.

But now... Dugu Bo could not see any of that on him. Instead, he even seemed rather mild-tempered.

"Brat, what do you want? State your terms," Dugu Bo sneered.

"Alas, Senior Dugu has misunderstood me. I came specifically to pay you a visit." Dongfang Yu smiled innocently. If Dugu Bo had not known him before, he truly might have been fooled.

Dugu Bo spoke in an unfriendly tone. "We're not close enough for that."

The meaning was clear: say what you came to say, or get lost.

He had beaten him up, and now the brat had come specifically to visit him? Did he really think Dugu Bo had gone senile?

And even if it was a visit, why had he brought Yue Guan along?!

"It seems Senior Dugu has quite a temper." Dongfang Yu shook his head slightly, then gave Yue Guan a look.

Yue Guan understood at once. He smiled at Dugu Bo and said, "We've known each other for so many years. I didn't come to cause trouble today either. Won't you invite us in to sit?"

Dugu Bo did not care what they were plotting. He had no patience for beating around the bush.

"If you have nothing to say, then you are not welcome here."

After he spoke, Yue Guan and Dongfang Yu exchanged a glance, and the latter nodded slightly.

Yue Guan nodded. Although he did not know why Yu insisted on going inside, that was not important. Since Dugu Bo refused a toast only to drink a forfeit, he could not blame Yue Guan.

The moment Yue Guan summoned his martial soul, Dongfang Yu hid himself. He only needed to wait until Dugu Bo was defeated.

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

Nine Soul Rings rose from beneath Yue Guan's feet!

A massive Singular Velvet Chrysanthemum appeared behind him. In an instant, the aura of a level 95 Super Douluo was revealed without reservation!

Dugu Bo's expression turned ugly. At his age, how could this man start fighting at the drop of a hat?

But he could only brace himself and fight. Perhaps with the poison formation around them and his familiarity with the terrain, he could force a draw.

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

Nine Soul Rings also rose from beneath Dugu Bo's feet!

The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor instantly possessed him, and he directly activated his Martial Soul True Body! Against a Super Douluo, he could not afford the slightest carelessness.

The aura of a level 92 Title Douluo burst forth from him as well.

Yue Guan sneered coldly. "You overestimate yourself. At the Title Douluo level, a difference of three ranks in soul power is like an insurmountable chasm."

"Old poisoner, it seems you truly don't want to live anymore!"

"Fifth Soul Skill—Gathering of Cold Blossoms!"

"Ninth Soul Skill—Chrysanthemum Withers, the Ground Is Wounded, Flowers Fall and Break Men's Hearts!"

Seeing the flower blades swirling through the sky, Dugu Bo's eyelid twitched!

Good heavens, he was opening with his ultimate moves!

He was clearly trying to end this quickly.

"Hmph!" Dugu Bo snorted coldly as his ninth Soul Ring flashed.

"Ninth Soul Skill—Jade Phosphor Divine Light!"
