"Enough idle chatter. I'm taking Tang San with me. Let's see if you dare stop me!"

Within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Azure Luan Douluo issued his final warning.

As Azure Luan Douluo spoke, Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo also came up behind him, watching Sword Douluo, Tang Xiao, and the others warily.

Sword Douluo and Tang Xiao exchanged a silent glance. Neither had any particularly good ideas at the moment.

Just then, an unexpected voice suddenly rang out:

"Seniors... I... am indeed Tang San, but I... still don't quite understand what happened. Could you... clear up my confusion?

"I can tell you... exactly which immortal-grade herbs... are in this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, as well as... some of Dugu Bo's secrets, which concern... where he might be hiding."

The speaker was none other than Tang San. He knew perfectly well that his situation was already extremely perilous.

If he did not do something, only death awaited him.

To survive, he had to demonstrate sufficient value.

Although he was unsure whether he could survive in the end, buying even a little time was better than nothing.

At Tang San's words, all six Titled Douluos within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well began to ponder.

Compared to Tang San, if Dugu Bo had truly harvested all the immortal-grade herbs, then Dugu Bo was certainly more valuable.

Thus, being able to obtain information about Dugu Bo from Tang San was truly an unexpected windfall for them.

Moreover, this was not something either side found unacceptable.

Spirit Hall was at a disadvantage within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. They would gain no advantage in a fight, so they might as well wait for Tang San to reveal some useful information while also waiting for Spirit Hall's other Titled Douluos to arrive.

As for Chen Xin and Tang Xiao, so long as a fight did not break out now, that was a good thing for them.

Chen Xin, in particular, did not actually want to get involved in the affairs between the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall. He was only protecting Tang San because he had no other choice if he wanted information about the aromatic silk beauty.

Once he learned Dugu Bo's secrets and where he might be hiding, he would leave immediately to find him.

Therefore, after exchanging nods with Tang Xiao and Chen Xin, Azure Luan Douluo looked at Tang San and asked curiously:

"Tang San, what are you confused about?"

Hearing this, Tang San stared at the Light Screen in midair and asked in bewilderment:

"I... would like to know how much... about me this Light Screen has mentioned?"

"So that's your question?"

Azure Luan Douluo chuckled, then looked at Chen Xin and Tang Xiao and asked:

"You two are closer to him. Which of you will answer?"

After Chen Xin and Tang Xiao exchanged a glance, Tang Xiao stepped forward and said:

"I'll do it!"

Hearing this, Tang San turned his head slightly to look at Tang Xiao.

"Tang San, I'm your eldest uncle, Tang Xiao, the sect master of the Clear Sky Sect. I won't lie to you!"

Noticing Tang San's gaze, Tang Xiao first introduced himself, then slowly said:

"This all starts with Xiao Wu..."

Tang Xiao recounted everything: Xiao Wu and the other four appearing in the Light Screen, Xiao Wu hitting Dugu Yan, the five of them asking questions, Chen Shi answering each person's question, Tang San and Ning Rongrong becoming gods, the secrets of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well...

After hearing Tang Xiao's account, Tang San froze.

He had never expected that the source of everything was this Light Screen-or, more specifically, Xiao Wu.

If Xiao Wu had not asked about his situation, it would not have dragged out that whole series of subsequent issues, especially his later exploitation of Dugu Bo, which had caused Dugu Bo to harbor resentment and attack him.

But did that Chen Shi in the Light Screen truly have the power to foresee the future? Though he had some doubts, what the man had said was indeed correct.

If Dugu Bo had not known about the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's circumstances, he really would have wanted to empty it out to strengthen his own foundation.

But everything had been ruined.

Not only had he failed to achieve the Ice and Fire Golden Body, but he had also ended up severely wounded by Dugu Bo.

Even the immortal-grade herbs he had been determined to obtain had slipped away. What... what was this supposed to be?

Xiao Wu, you've ruined me! Why did you have to ask about me? Sigh, your big brother was confident he could escape with his life!

Tang San grumbled helplessly to himself. Now he also understood that the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had become a battleground for the major powers of the Douluo Continent. With injuries as severe as his, escape was simply impossible.

While Tang San remained silent, Azure Luan Douluo added:

"Your eldest uncle forgot a few things. Let me add a couple of words."

At these words, everyone's attention fell on Azure Luan Douluo.

Then Tang San heard something that struck him like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.

"That dear little sister of yours, Xiao Wu, isn't an ordinary human. She's a hundred-thousand-year soft bone rabbit who took human form to cultivate anew."

"Xiao Wu... isn't human? How is that possible?"

Tang San found this fact somewhat impossible to accept. He looked at Chen Xin and Tang Xiao, seeking an answer.

But when both men nodded, he no longer knew what to say.

Seeing Tang San's reaction, Azure Luan Douluo's lips curled upward. He was clearly extremely pleased.

Then he continued, "Not only that, but that dear little sister of yours never became a god in the end, and she was also the first of your Shrek Seven Devils to die. Guess how your dear little sister reacted when she heard that?"

At these words, Tang San shook his head repeatedly, his face pale, and denied it:

"No, no, no! How could Xiao Wu die first? Even if she's a soul beast, I wouldn't spurn her, much less do anything to kill her."

Hearing Tang San's words, Tang Xiao could not help looking somewhat sorrowful.

Tang San truly was his younger brother Hao's own son. How had they both ended up entangled with soul beasts-and not only hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, but with outcomes that were none too good?

Seeing Tang San's reaction, Azure Luan Douluo was also slightly taken aback.

He had thought Tang San had long known Xiao Wu's identity. After all, Tang San's father, Tang Hao, was a Titled Douluo and surely would have known Xiao Wu's identity long ago.

Taking that thought further, Tang Hao might even have instructed Tang San to do this, precisely to win the heart of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast and then seek her sacrifice.

After all, Tang Hao had experienced a sacrifice before. He would certainly have wanted his son to possess that same feeling of immense power.

But... why did this situation feel somewhat off? Could Tang San simply be hiding himself too deeply?

Azure Luan Douluo did not wish to dwell on it. Instead, he looked at Tang San and asked:

"Boy, tell us. As one of the three great treasure troves, exactly what immortal-grade herbs does this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well contain? Also, what secrets does Dugu Bo have? Where exactly has he hidden himself?"

As his words fell, the gazes of the other Titled Douluos within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well all converged on Tang San, waiting for his answer.

Tang San, however, was looking at the Light Screen in midair, his expression gradually filling with shock.
