"Look for a valley shrouded in poisonous mist. That's our destination!"
Ji Yang ignored the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's wild fantasies.
After putting away the other pills, he told Da Ming and Er Ming the detail he had not had time to mention earlier.
"No problem!"
With a clearer target in mind, Da Ming and Er Ming soon began taking Ji Yang and the others around the Sunset Forest, searching its valleys.
After nearly half a day, they finally spotted a valley shrouded in green poisonous mist.
Looking down from far above, they could vaguely make out a spring of intertwined red and blue through the dense green fumes.
Without a doubt, this was their destination-the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well that Ji Yang had been looking for.
"Hmm..."
Almost the instant she saw the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well below, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion let out a strange sound.
"Auspicious Beast, what's wrong?"
Xiao Wu asked curiously.
"This place feels very unusual. It seems like there's something here that's familiar to me."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion spoke instinctively.
Her eyes remained fixed on the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
She could faintly sense that whatever gave her this feeling lay beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Were you born here?"
Surprise crossed Xiao Wu's face, and she blurted the question out.
At those words, not only Ji Yang but even Da Ming and Er Ming were left somewhat speechless.
How could an Auspicious Beast like the Three-Eyed Golden Lion have been born in the Sunset Forest?
Even if that were true, if the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had been born in the Sunset Forest, how could the forest not have been imbued with her aura and gained a corresponding share of fortune?
The Soul Beasts of the Sunset Forest should also have enjoyed better growth.
"Hehe..."
Seeing their reactions, Xiao Wu realized she had asked a very stupid question before the Three-Eyed Golden Lion even had to deny it.
"This Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was formed from the remains of the Fire Dragon King and the Ice Dragon King. Their remains lie deep beneath it."
"You have Dragon blood in you, so it's only natural that you'd feel this way."
Ji Yang explained, revealing the reason.
"So that's why!"
Understanding dawned on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming were utterly astonished.
Although they knew little about the Nine Great Dragon Kings, they did know that they were the Dragon God's "offspring"-nine powerful beast Deities.
They had never imagined that the Fire Dragon King and the Water Dragon King, two Dragon god kings, had fallen on the Douluo Continent, their bodies even forming the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, meanwhile, knew a little more about the Nine Great Dragon Kings.
After all, her Uncle Di Tian was an offspring of the Dark Dragon King.
In other words, the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were the bones of her Uncle Di Tian's uncle and aunt.
If her Uncle Di Tian were here now, he would have been deeply shocked and overcome with grief.
At that thought, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt she ought to tell her Uncle Di Tian about this later.
"Let's head down!"
Ji Yang paid no attention to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's musings. He waved a hand, signaling Da Ming and Er Ming to land.
Soon, they landed on the valley floor below.
Looking at the poisonous mist right before them, Da Ming and Er Ming were about to destroy it entirely.
"Let me!"
Ji Yang stopped them.
Then he summoned his Bagua Alchemy Furnace Martial Soul and used his first Soul Skill, Phoenix Sacred Fire, intending to burn a passage through which they could enter.
After advancing into a two-hundred-thousand-year Soul Skill, his first Soul Skill had gained an additional effect that could purify harmful effects, including Poison Purification. Clearing a passage through the poisonous mist would be easy.
As for destroying the entire poisonous barrier around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, there was no need.
With this layer of poisonous mist in place, outsiders and other Soul Beasts would be prevented from discovering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, keeping them from picking or ruining the Immortal Herbs within.
Sizzle-
As the flames from the Bagua Alchemy Furnace Martial Soul were released and fell upon the poisonous mist, it rapidly dissolved, as though it had met its natural nemesis.
In an instant, a passage leading to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well appeared.
The disturbance they caused immediately drew the attention of someone inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
And... his fury!
"Who's there? You dare trespass on my territory and destroy the poisonous barrier I laid down!"
Almost at the same moment, an icy shout filled with rage rang out.
"Looks like the 'owner' is here too!"
Ji Yang remained unconcerned, merely raising an eyebrow.
Clearly, Dugu Bo was at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well right now.
Wasn't that a lucky coincidence?
Still, this worked out perfectly.
This way, he could secure not only the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and its Immortal Herbs, but Dugu Bo himself in one fell swoop.
Even though Dugu Bo was no longer particularly important to him, having another Titled Douluo at his side would still be useful.
As for Xiao Wu and the others, seeing how little Ji Yang cared, they cared even less.
Da Ming and Er Ming, in particular, could sense that the other party was merely an ordinary Titled Douluo.
Although encountering three human Titled Douluos in succession in the Sunset Forest surprised them somewhat, they had no reason to care as long as the opponent was not a Super Douluo above rank ninety-seven.
Moreover, this Titled Douluo was weaker than the two they had encountered not long ago. At most, he was only a rank ninety-one Titled Douluo.
That made him even less worth mentioning.
"Come on, let's go say hello!"
Ji Yang said.
With that, they entered together and went to meet Dugu Bo.
Within a few breaths, they reached the other side of the poisonous barrier and saw Dugu Bo standing before the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
To Ji Yang's slight surprise, Dugu Bo was not alone.
Behind him stood two girls.
Perhaps this was also why the furious Dugu Bo had not appeared immediately.
As for the identities of these two girls?
The first was a girl with the same emerald-green eyes as Dugu Bo. Her Soul Power aura also carried a faint, rank snake odor. She was undoubtedly Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
As for the other girl, Ji Yang and the others could not have been more familiar with her, because she was none other than Ye Lingling.
A few months ago, when Ye Lingling had come to the Star Dou Great Forest to visit them, they had met her outside the forest.
From the looks of it, Ye Lingling had successfully "infiltrated the enemy camp" in this short span of time and then penetrated deep into its heart.
After all, when they last met, Ye Lingling had said she had only known Dugu Yan for a little over a year.
She had also said she would try to learn the exact location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well from Dugu Yan as soon as possible, then confirm the details of its Immortal Herbs once Dugu Yan brought her there.
He had not expected Ye Lingling to make such swift progress, earning Dugu Yan's deep trust so quickly and then being brought here by her.
Had they not set out so early, Ye Lingling probably could have brought them precise information about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well the next time she visited, sparing them the search.
