Terms Settled, Setting Out for Sunset Forest (1 / 2)

"Good!"

"How decisive of you, Sect Master Ning!"

Li Tianyuan could not help smiling.

Once this deal for twelve million Gold Soul Coins went through, he would never have to worry about running short of spending money again.

"Then, Mr. Li, without further delay, please perform Divination to find the whereabouts of the immortal herb!"

"We will set out as soon as you have the result!"

Ning Fengzhi cupped his hands.

"No hurry. Since you have agreed, Sect Master Ning, you must pay a deposit first!"

"Five million Gold Soul Coins."

"The remaining seven hundred Gold Soul Coins will be settled once the matter is done!"

Li Tianyuan was not so easily fooled. There was no harm in waiting until he had the money before performing the divination.

Ning Fengzhi had come prepared. After a brief hesitation, he took out a soul tool and placed it before him.

"Mr. Li, this Coin Pouch is a soul tool specially made to hold Gold Soul Coins. There are exactly five million inside. Please check it!"

Ning Fengzhi said.

Li Tianyuan reached out and took the Coin Pouch. With a light tap of his fingers, he secretly performed a quick Divination and immediately learned what was inside.

There were indeed five million Gold Soul Coins in the soul tool, plus one extra.

It seemed Ning Fengzhi had prepared thoroughly before coming.

"Five million and one. We will call it five million!"

With that, Li Tianyuan put away the Coin Pouch.

"Mr. Li, once this matter is accomplished, I will certainly have the remaining seven million Gold Soul Coins delivered here. I will never renege!"

Seeing Li Tianyuan discover the soul tool's exact contents with a mere movement of his fingers, Ning Fengzhi could not help feeling amazed.

This was not something an ordinary Titled Douluo could accomplish in such a short time.

"Done."

"I have no fear of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect reneging!"

With that, Li Tianyuan immediately released his soul power, and the Heavenly Mystery Disc faintly appeared.

He turned the Heavenly Mystery Disc and began his Divination.

In mere moments, he had divined the whereabouts of the Aromatic Silk Beauty.

Just as he remembered, the immortal herb was in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well within Sunset Forest.

"I have found the immortal herb's location!"

Li Tianyuan put away the Heavenly Mystery Disc and looked at Ning Fengzhi.

"Where is the immortal herb?"

Ning Fengzhi asked curiously.

"Sunset Forest!"

Li Tianyuan answered.

"To think it would be there. That is quite far from here!"

"Mr. Li, since you already have a lead, let us set out!"

Ning Fengzhi said.

He was already growing impatient to find out whether the immortal herb could help his martial soul advance.

"In that case, let us go!"

Li Tianyuan said.

"Sorry for the trouble!"

Ning Fengzhi said politely, joy still showing on his face.

If this was true, those twelve million Gold Soul Coins would be money extremely well spent.

But if it was not, Li Tianyuan would likely find it difficult to leave Sunset Forest.

A moment later, they walked out of the Heavenly Secrets Tower.

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo followed behind them from the entrance.

"Rongrong, you are coming with us now!"

Spotting Ning Rongrong standing beside the entrance, Ning Fengzhi called out to her.

"Yes, Father!"

Overjoyed, Ning Rongrong came over.

She had known her father would be able to save her.

"Father, please save my classmates too!"

Ning Rongrong walked to Ning Fengzhi's side, clasped his arm, and shook it.

Ning Fengzhi gently shook his head. "That will depend on Shrek Academy's stance. It would not be appropriate for me to force my involvement!"

In truth, he had no desire to get involved at all.

Saving his daughter had already cost him five million Gold Soul Coins. He did not want to waste any more.

"But... they are my classmates. You cannot..."

A pleading look appeared in Ning Rongrong's eyes.

"Behave, Rongrong!"

Ning Fengzhi said, his face stern.

Ning Rongrong froze for a moment. This was the first time she had ever seen her father so fierce, and she could not help pouting.

"Rongrong, do not make things difficult for your father over this!"

"You have something more important to do!"

Bone Douluo said in a rather serious tone.

"What important thing?"

Ning Rongrong raised her head, a little curious.

"You will know when you get there!"

Bone Douluo said no more.

"Zhao Wuji, after I leave, take the people from Shrek and guard this place. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you all accountable!"

"And without my permission, none of you may leave!"

Li Tianyuan came out and addressed Zhao Wuji and the others from Shrek Academy.

Zhao Wuji looked at Li Tianyuan in surprise. "Mr. Li, are you leaving Suotuo City?"

"That is right."

Li Tianyuan nodded slightly.

"Rest assured, I will guard this place well and await your return, Mr. Li!"

Zhao Wuji cupped his hands, a hint of excitement in his eyes.

He felt that once Li Tianyuan left, the pressure on him would ease.

"Very good. Do not disappoint me!"

Li Tianyuan nodded.

The group began to leave.

"A respectful farewell to Sect Master Ning, Mr. Li, Bone Douluo, and Sword Douluo!"

Watching their retreating backs, Zhao Wuji bowed.

Once they were out of sight, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Teacher Zhao, now that Mr. Li has left, can we return to Shrek Academy?"

Dai Mubai glanced in the direction Li Tianyuan had gone and could not resist asking.

"You still want to go back?"

"Did you not hear what Mr. Li said? Stay put and behave! None of you are going anywhere!"

Zhao Wuji glared at Dai Mubai and barked in a low voice.

He had given Li Tianyuan his word. If any more trouble arose, things would become serious.

At his age, he had no wish to suffer another humiliation, much less lose his life!

Dai Mubai froze briefly, then had no choice but to back down.

"Everyone will stay here and wait for Mr. Li to return. Perhaps he will be in a good mood when he gets back and release us all!"

Zhao Wuji said hopefully.

Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing all lowered their heads. Helpless, they could only accept it.

Several days later, a group of people bearing a noble air arrived at the edge of Sunset Forest.

The man leading them was incomparably handsome, like a god descended to earth.

Everyone who saw him wore a look of amazement.

Some young women even felt their hearts flutter with budding desire, casting flirtatious glances his way from time to time.

But he ignored it all!

There had been far too many such encounters along the way.

"Mr. Li, this is Sunset Forest. Where exactly is that immortal herb?"

Ning Fengzhi looked at Li Tianyuan and asked.

"In a wondrous place deep within Sunset Forest. Come, let us enter."

Li Tianyuan stepped forward into Sunset Forest.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi turned to Ning Rongrong behind him. "Rongrong, stay behind me. Although Sunset Forest cannot compare to the Star Dou Great Forest, there are still quite a few ten-thousand-year soul beasts here, as well as many poisonous creatures. Remember, you must not run off!"

"You must not leave the safe area!"

Ning Rongrong was gazing into Sunset Forest with her large eyes. At his words, she replied carelessly, "I know, Father. With Grandpa Bone and Grandpa Sword here, nothing can hurt me!"

"Rongrong, you must not let your guard down!"

Bone Douluo warned.

As they spoke, the group entered the forest and headed deeper inside.
