"I don't know the way there either," Ah Yin said innocently.
"Besides, there's no Blue Silver Grass in that city. It's all rocks."
Xuan Ming's eye twitched slightly. "Then do you have a way to find the Thundering Hell Vine?"
"Let me ask." Ah Yin's vines grew rapidly, spreading to the ground. As a faint wave of Life energy rippled outwards, the Blue Silver Grass within a radius of several kilometers came to life.
Upon seeing this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei's expressions were extremely strange.
This Blue Silver Emperor seems to be the one they were chasing back then, but wasn't the Blue Silver Emperor Sacrifice for Tang Hao?
How did he end up hanging out with Xuan Ming?
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance. Although they had many questions in their hearts, they knew that this was not the right time to ask. They could only suppress their doubts and focus on the situation in front of them.
Ah Yin's vines trembled gently on the ground, their Life force continuing to spread, their interaction with the surrounding Blue Silver Grass growing ever stronger.
After a moment, she said softly, "I sensed it. The aura of the Thundering Hell Vine is located deep in the eastern part of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's territory. There is a Thunder Valley there, but it seems to be protected by very strong Soul Power fluctuations."
Xuan Ming nodded. "Can you determine the approximate distance? That way I can estimate where the spatial portal will open."
After sensing the area again, Ah Yin said, "Based on your perception range of one thousand meters, the distance to us is about five such ranges, or about five thousand meters."
"So far?" Xuan Ming frowned slightly.
"Wouldn't it be alright to teleport in five separate trips?" Yue Guan asked.
"No, my control over space is too weak; I can't perform precise spatial teleportation," Xuan Ming said.
"Continuous spatial travel will cause my perception of space to become confused."
"Lost?" Bibi Dong asked curiously.
Xuan Ming's expression was somewhat unnatural. "Pretty much. With continuous teleportation, I have no idea where I'll end up."
He came to obtain Soul Ring. Absorbing a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring would take him at least several hours, even in his current state. If they were to fight the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they could escape unscathed, but obtaining the Soul Ring would be out of the question.
" Yue Guan, you two go and create a big scene to lure out that old dragon. It would be best if you could fight him. Xuan Ming and I will sneak in during the Xuan Ming," Bibi Dong said.
"Uh... what's the reason?" Yue Guan asked.
With him and the Gui Mei joining forces, holding off Yu Yuanzhen wouldn't be difficult, but the question is, what's the reason?
Surely it can't happen for no reason?
"Tell them that the Spirit Hall has received information that they suspect Tang Hao is being hidden by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Tell them to hand him over obediently, or you'll have to go in and search for him," Bibi Dong said.
"Given that old dragon's temper, it will definitely take the initiative to attack you."
Yue Guan's eye twitched slightly. "Okay."
Six months ago, Qian Daoliu used Tang Hao as an excuse to try to kill Bibi Dong.
Now Bibi Dong is using Tang Hao as an excuse again.
Tang Hao really is a master of excuses.
Chapter 187 The Group-Living Thundering Hell Vine
Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, then flashed off towards the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's mountain gate.
Their Soul Power surged, and their powerful aura was released without reservation, like a signal flare that instantly shattered the tranquility of the mountains and forests.
Soon, alarms blared throughout the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, various signal flares flashed in the sky above the sect, and figures soared into the air from within the sect, flying towards the mountain gate.
Before long, over a hundred members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan arrived at the mountain gate and confronted Yue Guan and his companion.
Leading the group was Yu Yuanzhen, the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He was burly and exuded an aura of dominance. His eyes were like torches, fixed on Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
" Yue Guan, how dare you Spirit Hall cause trouble in my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!" Yu Yuanzhen, his voice like thunder, causing the surrounding mountains and forests to tremble slightly.
Yue Guan's lips curled into a mocking smile. " Sect Master Yu, our Spirit Hall has received reliable information that that scoundrel Tang Hao is hiding in your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. If you know what's good for you, hand him over right now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
Yu Yuanzhen snorted coldly, "Nonsense! Tang Hao has absolutely no connection with my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Is the Spirit Hall resorting to such a lame excuse to cause trouble?"
"Hmph, Sect Master Yu, are you refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit?" Gui Mei said coldly, his ghostly aura growing even stronger.
Yu Yuanzhen, "You two think you can act so arrogantly in my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan? Today, I will make sure you don't leave alive!"
Before he finished speaking, Yu Yuanzhen's Eighth Soul Ring suddenly lit up.
In an instant, the weather changed dramatically. The once clear sky was quickly obscured by layers of dark blue thunderclouds, and a howling wind swept in, causing the surrounding trees to bend and their branches to fly everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, thick bolts of Thunderclap surged and weaved through the dark clouds, emitting a deafening roar, as if the sky was roaring angrily.
Yu Yuanzhen suddenly raised his hands and let out a deafening roar. His Martial Soul Possession, and he instantly transformed into Dragon Transformation. As countless blue Thunder Dragon fell from the sky, they rushed straight towards Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
"Start with the eighth Soul Skill?" Yue Guan suddenly regretted provoking this hot-tempered old dragon, but now he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
The three of them started fighting right in front of the mountain gate. More and more members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan arrived and gathered in front of the mountain gate. Even though Yu Yuanzhen fighting two against one, the Soul Douluo elders had no intention of helping him.
Because in their eyes, their sect leader is invincible!
Yue Guan and Gui Mei were primarily focused on stalling and had no intention of directly confronting Yu Yuanzhen. Therefore, it seemed that the two were under Yu Yuanzhen's suppression almost the entire time, completely unable to retaliate.
"With such meager skills, you dare to act wildly in my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"
Yu Yuanzhen with increasing ferocity, his body crackling with Thunderclap, the thunderclouds in the sky growing thicker, and the power of the Thunder Dragon increasing once again.
"No wonder you couldn't even beat Tang Hao when he had just been granted a title!"
"You old codger who's at the Upper Three Sects, and you dare to compare yourself to Tang Hao?" Yue Guan couldn't help but laugh.
He admitted that he was no match for Yu Yuanzhen in a one-on-one fight, but this guy was definitely not comparable to Tang Hao.
Neither that terrifying Divine Slaughter's Domain nor that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring can compare to this old dragon!
Yu Yuanzhen was thoroughly enraged by Yue Guan's words. His eyes burned with fury, and his Seventh Soul Ring suddenly lit up. Blue lightning flickered within the jet-black Soul Ring, radiating a terrifying aura that could destroy the world.
" Seventh Soul Skill - Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Avatar!"
Yu Yuanzhen roared, and his body instantly swelled, transforming into a gigantic Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon that was tens of feet long.
The dragon's body was covered in scales that shimmered with blue-black lightning, each scale as if forged from fine steel, exuding a cold and dangerous aura.
Its enormous head was raised high, its mouth spewing blue lightning, and its huge dragon eyes were filled with anger and killing intent as it stared intently at Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
The fact that the Upper Three Sects were at the bottom was a sore point for Yu Yuanzhen. Now, not only had Yue Guan brought it up to his face, but he had also directly said that he was inferior to Tang Hao. If he didn't show the power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon today, his sect would probably become a laughing stock!
"Do you really have to say something sarcastic?"
Seeing Yu Yuanzhen activate his Martial Soul Avatar, Gui Mei's mood immediately soured.
They're just here to draw attention and buy time; they're not really going to fight this old dragon!
Yu Yuanzhen has over a thousand Soul Master from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as backup, while they have no backup at all!
If they run out of Soul Power after half a day, and then those Soul Douluo elders and Soul Saint surround them again, they'll be in a very awkward situation!
Elders of the Spirit Hall were captured alive by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
"I've already said it, how can I take it back?" Yue Guan somewhat awkwardly.
How did he know that this old dragon was so easily provoked?
Meanwhile, Xuan Ming and Bibi Dong had already taken advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Now, most of the experts above the Soul Saint from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan have gone to the mountain gate to support Yu Yuanzhen. With the help of Ah Yin's perception, Xuan Ming and the other two quickly arrived at the edge of Thunder Valley.
A thick layer of purplish-black mist filled the air above the valley, with flashes of pale purple lightning crackling and hissing sounds emanating from it.
"Do you know how to determine the age of the Thundering Hell Vine?" Xuan Ming asked.
"I don't know. These kinds of Soul Beast are too rare. The Spirit Hall doesn't have much information about them either," Bibi Dong said.
"Where's the dragon on you? She should know, right?"
"She's exhausted and has fallen asleep," Xuan Ming said.
"Oh dear, why didn't you ask me?" Ah Yin's vines wrapped around Xuan Ming tightened slightly.
"I am the Blue Silver Emperor. I can sense how high the cultivation level of Plant-type Soul Beast is."
"..."
"You haven't forgotten, have you?"
"..."
The purplish-black mist that filled the valley was like a mysterious veil, shrouding everything and making it difficult to see the road ahead.
As Xuan Ming and his companion ventured deeper, the crackling lightning flashed more and more frequently, as if countless eyes were watching them from the darkness.
A pungent, acrid smell filled the air—the odor of Thunderclap colliding with the air, a smell that inspired awe in all who smelled it.
Suddenly, a thick vine shot out from the clouds and swept towards the two of them. Purple lightning crackled on the vine, and the air crackled with electricity wherever it passed.
Bibi Dong frowned, and her dark purple Soul Power suddenly spread out, shattering the vine in mid-air.
The next instant, more vines surged in from all directions, like ferocious giant pythons, surrounding them completely.
The flashing electricity on these vines intertwined, forming a giant electric grid that trapped them within.
"Let me do it." Xuan Ming stopped Bibi Dong, who was about to use her Martial Soul Possession to attack. The white light suddenly spread out, and in just an instant, the surging and flickering lightning dimmed. A chilling aura surged, and the surrounding vines were instantly frozen.
Xuan Ming gently squeezed, and the frozen vines shattered into ice shards.
Rumble!!
The Thundering Hell Vine seemed to be enraged, and the thunderclouds above the valley became increasingly turbulent. Then, thick bolts of Thunderclap fell from the sky, crashing down towards Xuan Ming and Bibi Dong.
These Thunderclap resembled giant purple dragons, carrying earth-shattering power, blasting huge craters into the ground wherever they passed.
" Ah Yin, did you sense it?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Over there, there's a Thundering Hell Vine that's over 40,000 years old, but its aura is extremely unstable. That's not a breakthrough; it's about to self-destruct." Ah Yin's vines stretched out, pointing towards the depths of the valley.
"After a ten-thousand-year-old Thundering Hell Vine self-destructs, it will unleash tremendous Thunderclap energy, which is the best nourishment for other Thundering Hell Vine."
" The Thundering Hell Vine here are all waiting for that Thundering Hell Vine to self-destruct, preventing us from getting close to it."
"How many Thundering Hell Vine are there here?" Xuan Ming asked.
"They range from a hundred years to ten thousand years old, with at least a hundred, and nearly half of them are over ten thousand years old," Ah Yin said.
"Hundreds?" Xuan Ming's expression froze.
"When did the Thundering Hell Vine become a gregarious Soul Beast?"
"I don't know, I didn't understand it either," Ah Yin said.
Unlike weak Soul Beast like Blue Silver Grass, Thundering Hell Vine doesn't need to huddle together for warmth. In fact, gathering together is quite disadvantageous for Soul Beast like Thundering Hell Vine that needs to absorb the power of Thunderclap to grow.
I didn't see it in Chapter 188.
If I'm not mistaken...
The phantom of the Ice Dragon King slowly appeared beside Xuan Ming.
" Thunder God died here."
Thunder God perished in the war of the Divine Realm and fell to the Douluo Continent. The Thundering Hell Vine, a Soul Beast, was born after that.
"When Thunder God fell, his immense divine Divine Power of Thunderclap dissipated, cleansing this valley and even altering the bloodlines of the plants here. Perhaps this is the origin of the Thundering Hell Vine," said the Ice Dragon King.
"Just like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?" Xuan Ming said.
"Pretty much. The Thunderclap power here is so dense it's almost tangible. Even the deep underground veins contain extremely powerful and violent Thunderclap power. This is definitely not something that could be formed naturally; there must be Divine Power intervention involved," said the Ice Dragon King.
"It's a pity Thunder God died so quickly, otherwise, this place might have truly reached the level of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"Died too quickly? What do you mean?" Xuan Ming asked, puzzled.
"I was severely injured and fell from the God Realm to this place. Strictly speaking, I died from my injuries," the Ice Dragon King explained.
"But Thunder God was directly cut down; he was already dead when he fell to the Douluo Continent."
"But that doesn't make sense. The land of fallen gods should have condensed an energy core."
