"Fight, fight! Hurry up and fight. Better yet, kill each other."
The black-robed figure was, of course, Lin Yuan.
He had already been lying in wait here for two days.
More than half a month earlier, he had rented a room at an inn near Nuoding Academy and watched through the window as Tang San and Xiao Wu left the academy.
That very night, he had come here to lie in wait.
Hidden in the bamboo grove, he used the Bamboo Forest Illusory Sea to conceal himself while circulating both the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Formula and the Supreme Sacred Heaven and Earth Technique, suppressing his aura to the utmost.
His purpose was to see whether any Transmigrators would come looking for the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
After all, in almost every Douluo I fanfiction, this thing had long ranked near the top of the must-have list.
As for why he did not search for it himself, to begin with, he could not fly.
Trying to find the waterfall where Tang Hao had hidden the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone amid these vast mountains, he might search for ten days or half a month and still find nothing.
After all, only seven days remained before Shrek Academy opened.
Tang Hao would not give him that much time to search.
Even if he found it, he would make too conspicuous a target, and another Transmigrator would very likely swoop in like the oriole behind the mantis.
Rather than that, he might as well hide and see whether he could catch a lone Transmigrator.
But Meng Baichuan's death seemed to have put these people on their guard.
Early the next morning, a Transmigrator had arrived as he waited-but so had two Titled Douluos.
Two streaks of light, one gold and one black, flew deep into the mountains.
The person within one of those streaks seemed to be carrying someone on his back.
That was clearly the Transmigrator.
Now another three streaks of light had arrived, carrying people who appeared to be Transmigrators, and they had happened to run into one another.
Now there would be quite a show to watch.
Among those three streaks of light, Lin Yuan spotted an old man dressed in green clothes and green armor. On the Douluo Continent, only Dugu Bo would dress like that.
If Old Poison could get into a fight with the other two, or with the person who had arrived earlier, Lin Yuan could slip into his home at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes and loot it.
After all, over the past year, he had often taken advantage of hunting Soul Rings for others to learn about the terrain of Sunset Forest from other mercenaries.
There was no need to question them deliberately. He only had to approach the subject indirectly and ask which part of Sunset Forest was the most dangerous.
The vast majority had, without consulting one another, pointed him toward the poison formation Dugu Bo had set up around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes.
They simply did not know that it was Dugu Bo's residence.
Dugu Jue, Long Aotian, and Yu Tianlong all had the faces of protagonists.
Yet each had his own distinctive features.
Dugu Jue looked cold and wore black, closely resembling Xiao Yan with an upgraded character model.
Long Aotian had a face full of "integrity." Dressed in fitted blue-green robes, with his hair tied in the same ponytail as Gai Nie's, he looked every inch a swordsman.
Yu Tianlong, meanwhile, was wickedly handsome. Wearing a black prison uniform, he looked like a noble young lord from the demon realm.
Seeing that Long Aotian and Dugu Jue had come too, Yu Tianlong's mouth twitched. Only then did he remember that he was not the only Transmigrator in this world.
Since he had thought of claiming the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone at this point in time, the other two must have thought of it as well.
"Long Aotian, Yu Tianlong, what is the meaning of this?" Dugu Jue was angry at the sight of them-very, exceedingly angry.
He had already shown them great mercy by sharing the immortal herbs with them, and had even relinquished his claim to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing as spouses.
He had never imagined that these two would still compete with him for the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone. It was simply outrageous.
Yu Tianlong paused at that, then shamelessly said, "When we made our alliance, this Soul Bone wasn't included."
Knowing that Gu Rong was no match for Dugu Bo as he was now, Long Aotian chimed in, "Exactly, exactly. You can't take every good thing under heaven for yourself."
"Do you two want a showdown?" Dugu Jue asked darkly.
Yu Tianlong and Long Aotian badly wanted to imitate the tone the Bad Commander had used against Li Keyong and say, "In this young master's eyes, there are no allies."
But faced with the current Dugu Bo, neither of them had that kind of strength yet.
So, after they exchanged a glance, Long Aotian said, "No, no. We're simply treating separate matters separately."
Yu Tianlong added, "We can give up this Soul Bone, but you'll have to pay more. Four immortal medicinal herbs, and I'll leave."
Long Aotian spoke as though he bore no responsibility for angering someone to death. "Heh, what a coincidence. I only want four too. One for my Grandpa Bone, two for my parents, and one for my Sword Grandpa."
"Bastards! Do you think immortal herbs are cabbages?" Dugu Jue's eyes reddened with fury, and he panted like an ox.
If his grandfather could have kept those two old fellows, Yu Yuanzhen and Gu Rong, from escaping, he would have had them slaughtered long ago.
Gu Rong grinned. "Those are reasonable terms. Four immortal herbs for a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone-you wouldn't be losing out."
"Indeed." Although Yu Yuanzhen felt that such behavior was rather shameless, if it could produce four powerful experts for his clan, then shameless it would be.
Then again, at first, they had only heard from their grandson and disciple, respectively, that Tang Hao had once lived in seclusion in Holy Soul Village, and that the Soul Bone left behind after his wife's sacrifice all those years ago might be nearby.
They had never expected Old Poison's grandson to know about this place too. From the looks of things, there really might be a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone here.
"Enough. Stop playing the shameless scoundrel with me, you two old fools. I'm determined to take that Soul Bone today. If you want it, fight me first."
Dugu Bo naturally could not stand by and watch his grandson be bullied.
Nine Soul Rings-two yellow, two purple, and five black-flashed into view. Behind him, a dragon-shaped phantom appeared, pale blue icy flames rising from its surface.
At the sight, Yu Yuanzhen's and Gu Rong's pupils jolted, and both their expressions changed.
Yu Tianlong hurriedly imitated Xuan Gu's tone. "Easy, Senior Dugu, easy. Aren't we discussing things? We can name a price, and your grandson can bargain it down."
"That's right. What can't be settled with a proper discussion?" Long Aotian, also afraid of angering Old Poison, tried to persuade him gently.
Only then did Dugu Bo refrain from attacking and turn to his grandson.
Dugu Jue took a deep breath. "One herb at most."
"Good, it's a deal." Unexpectedly, Yu Tianlong agreed outright. He held out his right hand. "Payment in one hand, goods in the other."
Seeing this, Long Aotian followed suit. "I agree too. Payment in one hand, goods in the other."
"I'm not stupid enough to carry immortal herbs on me," Dugu Jue said coldly. "Go back and wait. Within a year, provided Tang Hao hasn't come looking for trouble with me, I'll have the immortal herbs delivered to you."
Yu Tianlong and Long Aotian were not worried about Dugu Jue playing tricks. After all, the monk could run, but the temple could not. At worst, they could tell Tang Hao that he had obtained the Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Bone.
Then Tang Hao could go fight Old Poison to the death.
"Grandfather, let's go." After watching them leave, Dugu Jue turned to Dugu Bo.
"Hmph, those scoundrels. Sooner or later, I'll deal with every last one of them." Dugu Bo snorted coldly and continued flying deeper into the mountains with Dugu Jue.
