Through the maneuvers of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Yu Family, Lin Yi had gained an understanding of the Douluo I timeline to which the Heavenly Screen was broadcasting.
Combining that with the popular bullet comments, he had gleaned some information.
The bullet comments were not allowed to contain information about exact eras.
But some jokes were still permitted.
By the time of the Heaven Dou Palace Coup, Xue Ye's body had long been on the verge of giving out.
Yet many bullet comments took it for granted that the current Xue Ye was still capable of fathering children.
And that he was in his prime.
Taking a blind guess, the Soul Master Tournament had yet to take place in the Douluo I timeline.
Perhaps the Shrek Seven Devils had not even gone to Heaven Dou City yet.
Lin Yi's guess was still a conservative one.
He did not even want to treat the result of that guess as established information.
A guess was always just a guess.
"Hmm..."
After leaving the Yu Family, Lin Yi pondered for a moment and organized the information he needed, then started the livestream again.
The livestream resumed from the footage that had just been cut off, giving him a few minutes' worth of cached time.
At that moment, Lin Yi's gaze was sharp, and the place he was looking at was none other than the Sunset Forest.
Without hesitation, he stepped forward.
He had once visited the Sunset Forest, entered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and reaped a haul of fortuitous opportunities.
It was precisely because of that visit that he had taken the Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, prompting Tang San to send the Clear Sky Sect's master to hunt him down.
Lin Yi had turned the tables and killed the Clear Sky Sect's master.
Then Tang San had made his move.
Lin Yi's gaze grew distant, a light flickering in his eyes, as though he were reminiscing.
That was what had happened in summary, but there had actually been many more details.
Shrek had been weak at the time, utterly incapable of making a move.
The Tang Sect had declined to an even greater extreme; all it needed was a pretext, and any random sect might have cleared it away like weeds by the roadside.
The Clear Sky Sect, on the other hand, had remained hidden from the world. Though it could not boast a Limit Douluo in every generation, it was at least flourishing in numbers, and its strength had been preserved remarkably well.
Under all those circumstances, it was only natural for the Clear Sky Sect to send someone after Lin Yi.
Besides that, Lin Yi suspected that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well itself had also been a factor.
After all, Tang San had wanted to hunt Lin Yi down because the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had been robbed.
And in theory, the Clear Sky Sect was responsible for watching over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
After all, the Clear Sky Sect had withdrawn from the world and could have settled anywhere, yet it had chosen Heaven Dou City.
This was neither the Clear Sky Sect's old site nor the place where it had sealed itself off ten thousand years ago.
Who would believe it had chosen this place for any reason other than to keep a convenient watch over the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?
Of course, the people of the Clear Sky Sect might not have known the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well existed.
But in Tang San's eyes, that should have been their duty.
If outsiders ever intruded into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Clear Sky Sect could act at once.
Yet Lin Yi had deliberately chosen the timing of his entry into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and Tang San had not noticed immediately.
But in Tang San's eyes, the Clear Sky Sect must have been the one that had failed in its duty.
How could a dignified God King possibly make a mistake?
The Yin Yang Well had been robbed, so naturally it was the watchdog's fault.
That was why the Clear Sky Sect had sent someone to hunt Lin Yi down.
The past had become nothing but a memory.
Lin Yi withdrew his gaze and stepped forward.
This time, he was going back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
For one thing, he would harvest all the heavenly treasures, rare and exotic herbs, and Immortal Herbs that he had not taken last time.
Since Tang San had torn away all pretense, Lin Yi would not leave those things there for Tang San's subordinates to use.
According to the original story, the Shrek Seven Devils of this period in Douluo II were the weakest batch.
However, the Shrek Seven Devils of this period were weak purely because they had not even been allotted Immortal Herbs.
Not only had they failed to receive Immortal Herbs, they had not benefited from the advantages of their era either.
Of course they were weak.
But if his Heaven and Earth Chess Game changed some of the original story's course, and the Shrek Seven Devils obtained Immortal Herbs and each underwent a qualitative transformation in talent, the consequences would set off a chain reaction.
Radiant Sacred Dragon.
Black Tortoise Shield.
Twin Martial Souls.
There was also a pure Fire Phoenix who was not among the Shrek Seven Devils.
If they really used Immortal Herbs to transform themselves, that might be how things played out.
If those talents were brought to their full potential, that would be somewhat troublesome too.
[Where is this? It's obviously a forest, but it's deathly silent.]
[The Sunset Forest! But how did the Sunset Forest end up like this?]
Douluo I.
Dugu Bo stared at the image on the Heavenly Screen, his face full of shock and uncertainty.
For in the image, the Sunset Forest had become a scene of devastation, its living creatures in misery.
The entire Sunset Forest, apart from a few trees on its outermost edge, was shrouded within by a layer of poisonous miasma.
And this poisonous miasma looked remarkably similar in effect to the one he had laid around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Looking at it through the image alone, Dugu Bo could not analyze its exact composition, but its appearance was very similar.
"No way. Could my poisonous miasma have leaked out?" Dugu Bo's heart sank.
At the same time, he also realized what Lin Yi's objective was.
"This is bad. That guy is going to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"Once this is broadcast through the Heavenly Screen, my Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well won't be safe!"
Dugu Bo's head immediately began to ache.
At the same time, numerous question marks drifted across the bullet comments.
Some knowledgeable people also made guesses.
And some of them really did guess part of the reason.
They pinned the poisonous miasma on Dugu Bo.
[If I remember correctly, there really is a patch of poisonous miasma deep in the Sunset Forest.]
[Dugu Bo left it there.]
Seeing these bullet comments, Dugu Bo felt his scalp go numb.
He immediately left Heaven Dou City and headed deep into the Sunset Forest.
Although he guarded a treasure land like the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it was only beneficial to plants.
Ordinary Soul Masters would be eroded by the power of ice and fire here.
Dugu Bo himself only came to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well when the toxins in his body flared up, using the power of ice and fire here to suppress them.
Once the flare-up ended, he would not stay long either.
All the way to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo kept his attention on the Heavenly Screen's images.
"That poisonous miasma must be mine, after it spread outward, but there are other toxins mixed into it too."
At that thought, cold sweat poured down Dugu Bo's body.
"If all the Soul Beasts in the Sunset Forest died out, then the corpse toxins produced by their rotting bodies, along with all the toxins from poison-attribute Soul Beasts, would have accumulated and mingled. That poisonous miasma would no longer be the one I originally laid down."
After entering the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo continued to look up at the sky.
He intended to use the Heavenly Screen's images as a guide to harvest the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well one last time.
He guessed that Lin Yi was going to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to pick something.
When the time came, he would follow Lin Yi's method of picking and gather some useful medicinal herbs, pack them up, and take them away.
As for the Soul Masters who came to the Sunset Forest searching for Immortal Herbs because of Lin Yi's actions, all they would reap was a mess.
This was Dugu Bo's final struggle.
He had guarded this medicinal field for half his life; he could hardly hand it over to someone else, could he?
