Tang Wutong: Where are my immortal herbs? Where did my whole valley of immortal herbs go?

"Sister Xiao Ya, are you... feeling unwell?"

The next morning, Wang Dong'er arrived late, her beautiful pink-blue eyes blinking with worry. Looking at Tang Ya, who was still lying in bed, tears streaming down her face, her body like a limp rag, the girl became even more worried.

"Lu Cheng, is the aftereffect of Xiao Ya's devouring ability really that strong?"

Tang Ya's face flushed, and she coughed twice, feeling a little guilty. "It's nothing, it's just... I didn't get enough rest."

Lu Cheng smiled and shook his head. Tang Ya had been howling for half the night, and finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell into a deep sleep, letting him do whatever he wanted to her. This girl is just a novice with a strong addiction.

"So we should rest for a day before going to the Star Dou Great Forest?" Wang Dong'er asked hesitantly.

"It's alright..." Tang Ya saw this and quickly sat up, casually combed her long black hair, and prepared to get out of bed, but suddenly her legs went weak and she almost fell down.

"Hehe."

Lu Cheng looked at Tang Ya with amusement.

He shook his head.

The latter, with her long legs together, stared longingly at Lu Cheng as Wang Dong'er left the house, then opened her arms, indicating that she would carry her away.

Even traveling at a brisk pace, the journey to the Star Dou Great Forest would take several days, enough time for her to rest. As for whether anything else might happen along the way, who knows...

Having just tasted the sweetness of success, the young woman naturally craves more and more, and can hardly resist.

Lu Cheng didn't linger; he gently lifted the beauty's legs and carried her out of the house in a princess carry.

Wang Dong'er blinked her pink eyes, glancing at the two of them with a strange look. Although it was normal for Senior Tang Ya to be carried by Lu Cheng because she was injured and had difficulty moving, why did this scene look so odd...?

Wang Dong'er stroked her smooth chin, her eyes slightly narrowed.

Sunset Forest.

The closer you get to the core, the more corpses are scattered everywhere. Among them are Soul Master and Soul Beast. There is no flesh and blood, but the bones are all mottled in color, which means that the poison is extremely potent and has penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

These remains have been soaked in poison for countless years, and the depth of the erosion is unimaginable to ordinary people. If any living creature were to come into contact with them, it would probably not survive for even a short while.

And in this place that ordinary people can only look up to and dare not set foot in.

Several figures easily broke through the layers of mist and stepped into this forbidden land.

Leading the group was a middle-aged man dressed in a gray outfit with a cold expression. Behind him were several burly men dressed similarly, clearly belonging to the same faction. At the very center was a beautiful young woman.

Although her appearance was top-notch, her slightly furrowed brows and the impatience and disgust in her pink-blue eyes ruined that beauty.

"How much longer do we have to walk?!" Tang Wutong shouted angrily.

"It should be soon." The middle-aged man in the lead looked embarrassed and scratched his head. They had never been here before, so how could they find it so quickly?

"Useless." Tang Wutong kicked a tree trunk beside her, snorted, and walked forward without looking back.

The several powerful figures from the Clear Sky Sect behind him exchanged glances, all seeing the bitterness in each other's eyes, and could only follow.

What kind of ancestor has the sect leader found for them?

Fortunately, within a few tens of minutes, the poisonous miasma did indeed slowly dissipate, and they saw the outermost group of Seven Ultimate Jade Phosphor Flower, as well as the valley hidden here, isolated from the world for nearly ten thousand years.

"This should be... the place."

Tang Wutong's expression softened slightly. She coldly glanced at the several "useless" people around her who had fervent expressions. If she didn't have to rely on them, she wouldn't have brought them along at all. A bunch of Tang family vassals and servants, how dare they covet the immortal Immortal Herb?

It's all Da Ming Er Ming's fault. She had taken leave from the Shrek Academy, intending to have those two good-for-nothings take her here, but they made excuses about having important business and instead found a few people from the Clear Sky Sect to accompany her.

"Everyone's waiting here."

Tang Wutong said calmly.

"Miss, you..." The middle-aged man's expression changed. If something happened to Tang Wutong, they would probably...

Tang Wutong gave him a cold glance, and the latter swallowed hard, then could only show a bitter expression and say no more.

"Snort..."

Tang Wutong strode towards the valley.

A bunch of bastards trying to smuggle the Immortal Herb! This is the culmination of my father's years of hard work. Do you think your mortal bloodline is worthy of it?

Ultimately, her mission was to retrieve the other two soul fragments: one in Wang Dong'er's possession and the other in the Emperor Auspicious Beast's possession.

This is the golden statue her father sculpted for her, the path to godhood.

Wang Dong'er suffers hardship, while she enjoys good fortune.

If she could also seize the auspicious Auspicious Beast's power of destiny and possess it herself, she would surely lead the entire continent once again and restore the glory of the Tang family.

This was very appealing to her; she admired her father and wanted to follow in his footsteps.

However, Wang Dong'er actually broke free from her father's control...

The thought of this darkened Tang Wutong's pretty face. She gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it, wouldn't it be better if you just obediently let me replace you? Why do you have to struggle like that..."

She scoffed and clenched her fist. "Just a mere butterfly, does it really think it can escape my grasp?"

"Trying to run? Then I'll personally break all four of your limbs and see where you can run then."

As Tang Wutong thought about it, her mood improved considerably, and her steps became more cheerful. Having just descended to the mortal realm, she followed her father's example and first ate a Immortal Herb to whet her appetite. After absorbing it, with her talent, she would surely be able to advance to the Soul King level in an extremely short time.

Soul King at fifteen years old—that's far more impressive than his father's achievements back then.

You should know that my father was only struggling at the Soul Ancestor level when he was fifteen.

And she...

"..."

In the lush valley.

As an outsider intruded, many Immortal Herb were also awakened, emerging Youyou from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, looking at the arrogant Tang Wutong with some surprise.

"Who are you?"

"I'm here to be assessed," Tang Wutong said calmly.

"An assessment?" Youyou was taken aback at first, then suddenly froze. Only now did she remember the man's instructions before he left ten thousand years ago. If it were before, she could have easily accepted them and given the girl a suitable immortal Immortal Herb.

But the problem is... that kid had already plucked Immortal Herb from the entire canyon.

At this moment, apart from the first-generation Immortal Herb, all other flower seeds and seedlings had been uprooted. And this girl... could she absorb Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring with her fifth Soul Ring?

It's probably very difficult; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's a near-death experience.

"Can we begin?" Tang Wutong frowned slightly.

"This, this..." Youyou stammered, "I'm afraid that won't work."

"Huh?!!" Tang Wutong exclaimed angrily, "What do you mean?"

A guard dog was actually stopping her from picking the Immortal Herb from his own garden?!

That's outrageous!

"No." She murmured, on the Youyou tears.

She was truly innocent. After all, it was Jiaojiao who made the decision, so she didn't say anything. But who would have thought that just a few days later, that guy would send someone to ask for the Immortal Herb?

"I'll give you a chance to explain," Tang Wutong said through gritted teeth.

"..."

"Actually, the Immortal Herb was... picked by a young man," Youyou said timidly.

"So what if he picked them? It's such a huge medicinal garden, with so many Immortal Herb. Could he really have picked them all?" Tang Wutong said impatiently.

"Yes," she said Youyou.

Tang Wutong: "..."

"You mean, he picked all the Immortal Herb in the entire herb garden?!" Tang Wutong instantly flew into a rage. "You bunch of good-for-nothings! My father entrusted you with guarding the Immortal Herb Garden, and this is how you guarded it? A bunch of idiots, good-for-nothings! You can't even do this simple task properly! And yet, you were allowed to stay in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, nurtured with the best spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and now that it's time to harvest the fruit, you actually..."

She was genuinely angry.

Without the Immortal Herb, how can she replicate her father's path to godhood?

She had high hopes for this trip; she couldn't possibly be left behind by that good-for-nothing Wang Dong'er, could she?

"I'm going to destroy your entire herb garden! You useless piece of trash who's good for nothing!" Tang Wutong roared.

But then she remembered that the powerful Clear Sky Sect members she had brought were still waiting outside the canyon, and even if they came in, they wouldn't be a match for such a bunch of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

"..."

The scene was somewhat quiet.

Tang Wutong became increasingly embarrassed and annoyed, stomped her foot, and left.

Now that her father is being held back by the God of Destruction, he cannot easily inspect the situation in the lower realm. Although he has given her a mark, it cannot be easily mobilized unless it is a matter of life and death.

Alternatively, bring Da Ming Er Ming and wipe out the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

But that's obviously impossible; the entire Immortal Herb Garden is one of Father's most important plans in the Douluo Continent.

She didn't get any more information from Youyou about the "thief," only knowing that he was a boy, and nothing else.

"We must... find it quickly!" Tang Wutong grew increasingly anxious.

Those Immortal Herb are the foundation upon which the Tang family can continue to dominate this continent in the future, and they are also the foundation upon which she is confident now.

Her current strength is only at level forty-two. Without Immortal Herb, it will probably be very difficult for her to advance to the Soul King realm...

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!!"

Tang Wutong's eyes reddened as she gritted her teeth and roared angrily.

"Once we get back, I'll Da Ming Er Ming investigate this thoroughly. Daring to steal the Tang family's Immortal Herb, I'll make sure you pay the price!"

Star Dou Great Forest.

Lu Cheng was unaware of what had happened in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. He was playing around with Wang Dong'er and Tang Ya as they made their way forward. The Body Sect also dispatched Elder Chen, the Sixth Elder, to accompany them and protect them.

By the campfire.

The night sky was dotted with stars. Lu Cheng sat cross-legged on the ground, with Tang Ya and Wang Dong'er whispering to each other beside him. This time, when they came out alone, their relationship had become much closer.

"Something feels... off."

Lu Cheng looked around, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

A familiar scent.

Based on his experience dealing with those Evil Soul Master, this faint aura really did seem to resemble them.

The key point is that it's not just one person.

Instead, they came in large groups.

It was like a locust swarm passing through.

What are they doing in the Star Dou Great Forest?
