The Immortal Herb Garden, Wang Dong'er vs. Tang Wutong

Sunset Forest.

The group trudged over piles of corpses and continued deeper into the forest. The poisonous fog that had once covered nearly a third of the entire forest had now shrunk to only a small area near the valley.

As the poisonous fog receded like the tide, what remained were these horrifying, colorful skeletons, still teeming with toxins from years of exposure to the fog.

It is fatal to any ordinary person who touches it.

Lu Cheng remained calm as he passed by these nine-colored bones. Among them were Soul Beast and human Soul Master who had gotten lost in the poisonous fog and were unable to escape.

"Put them all inside the diamond rings. Then, pile them up in a certain area so that no one who accidentally touches them gets hurt or killed," Lu Cheng instructed.

"Here you go!"

The accompanying elders nodded slightly, looking at the devastated Sunset Forest with a sense of melancholy. Who would have thought that this forest was once one of the most famous forests on the continent ten thousand years ago?

Now... it's such a desolate sight.

The legendary Immortal Herb Garden immortal herbs was located here, but unexpectedly it became a scourge to this forest, causing Destruction damage to its ecology.

"Is this... His doing back then?"

He was surrounded by many powerful members of the Body Sect.

Wang Dong'er wore a light blue dress, her pinkish-blue hair cascading over her shoulders. She blinked her beautiful eyes, looking around, and linked arms with Lu Cheng.

It has been more than four years since the two of them used to play around in the same dormitory. Now, Wang Dong'er has a slender and graceful figure, and her beautiful face has a touch of playfulness and liveliness. She has grown into a poised and elegant young woman.

Strangely enough, the Clear Sky Sect never actually searched for her during those four years.

I don't know if it was because my eldest and second uncles had a change of heart, or... they really couldn't find the Body Sect.

"Good."

Lu Cheng surveyed the valley that was so close at hand and said calmly.

As the group entered the valley, intending to awaken Youyou, they unexpectedly encountered a group of uninvited guests.

Slovenly and carrying a wine gourd, Xuan Zi's face was gloomy. His gaze swept through the crowd and immediately fell on the handsome young man with the most refined and eye-catching temperament. The chicken leg he was holding suddenly lost its appeal.

"Xuan Zi, I never expected to see you here?"

The elderly man in white at the head of the group smiled, blocking Xuan Zi's sharp gaze, and said calmly.

"Bai Ji, I didn't expect you old bastard to still be alive, and instead rise from the ashes..." Xuan Zi stared at the white-robed old man with a gloomy look in his eyes and spoke coldly, but the sarcasm in his words was almost overflowing.

This opportunity... should have been his.

Looking at the several Body Sect experts beside him, whose strength had all improved dramatically, he felt even more aggrieved.

He struggled desperately for years, yet he remained at Level 98, that threshold like an insurmountable chasm, impossible to cross.

But among this group...

Bai Jing, whose strength was once far inferior to his, now stood in front of him, and the fourth of the six elders had already reached level Level 98, standing on equal footing with him.

Although I don't have the same foundation as him, I will catch up with him sooner or later, and even surpass him.

After all, that's Immortal Herb.

It has the effect of cleansing and transforming a person's talent, bringing about a complete metamorphosis.

"Little... what are you doing here?" Xuan Zi stared at Lu Cheng with a gloomy expression. He almost blurted out the word, but glancing at the aggressive man opposite him, he swallowed the word and didn't say it.

What brings Xuan Zi here again?

Lu Cheng smiled, holding Wang Dong'er's hand, his expression calm, his eyes unwavering.

The powerful figures beside him were comparable to, or even greater than, the top combatants of the entire Sea God Pavilion. Even if Mu En came, he wouldn't be a match for them, let alone the latter, who was now old and frail, like a candle flickering in the wind.

"Could it be... that it's also for the Immortal Herb?"

As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of Shrek and his group.

Besides Xuan Zi, there were about five or six other titled experts, including Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er. In the formation, there was also Han Ruoruo and Tang Wutong, whom they hadn't seen for a long time.

And several others, clad in black robes, exuding a calm and restrained aura, were presumably powerful figures from the Clear Sky Sect.

"What's it to you?" Xuan Zi sneered.

"Yes, what's it to you?"

Lu Cheng smiled leisurely.

"..."

Xuan Zi's face froze for a moment, then turned ashen, before he realized that Lu Cheng was using his own words against him.

His fists were itching to punch, but when he saw the opposing team's lineup, he chickened out, whimpering and cowering to the side, remaining silent.

"Lu Cheng, you and Shrek Academy haven't reached the point of never seeing each other again, why make a scene like this? If you're willing to return the rest of the Immortal Herb you picked, Shrek Academy is willing to forgive and forget and welcome you to join us..." Xian Lin'er frowned slightly, her eyes fixed on Lu Cheng, and spoke each word clearly.

"Hahahaha..." Bai Ji laughed loudly, tears streaming down his face.

"I always said you Shrek students are all short-sighted fools, frogs in a well, Young Master, just look at you..."

Many powerful figures from the Body Sect also laughed heartily, their eyes filled with mockery.

"To set aside past grievances" and "to return it".

Indeed, only those thick-skinned, wall-like old fogies from the Shrek Academy could say such a thing.

"I have only one purpose for this trip: to move this Immortal Herb Garden," Lu Cheng said with a smile and a shake of his head.

"Impossible!" Xian Lin'er glared angrily.

"This is territory Sharing by the Shrek Academy and the Clear Sky Sect, left behind by our Tang San. Who do you think you are, daring to covet it?"

"Oh?" Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow with interest and smiled, "Is Tang San's name written here?"

"Don't try to be unreasonable. Tang San is the ancestor of Shrek. Everyone on the continent knows that. There are statues of the Shrek Seven Monsters in front of my academy. You came from the Shrek Academy, so don't play dumb!" Xian Lin'er was furious.

"Youyou."

Lu Cheng ignored her and instead looked at the lake.

As a ripple appeared, a large, crimson flower slowly rose from the water, gazing at Lu Cheng Youyou a resentful look, "What are you doing?"

Who owns this place?

"I don't know!" Youyou said through gritted teeth.

"So it's unclaimed land." Lu Cheng smiled and shook his head.

"In that case, are you willing to come with me?"

"Where to?" Youyou was taken aback.

"Go to my sect, because the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is about to disappear, and you will be left unguarded here. Now everyone knows the secret of the poisonous fog, and the Jade Phosphorus Seven-Absolute Flower cannot protect you. When I ascend to godhood, I will take you into the Divine Realm, how about that?"

Lu Cheng smiled, and although it was just Youyou promises, Youyou was instantly tempted. This guy was more than a hundred times stronger than the one who had become a god!

He said he would become a god, and she actually believed him.

The Fragrance of Eternal Life, a true symbol of carefree bliss, possesses an eternal lifespan and is fatally alluring to all the Immortal Herb of this place.

"No! You can't go with him!" Tang Wutong couldn't hold back any longer and stood up angrily.

"You were all planted by my father himself. If it weren't for my father's arrangement of this place, how could you have advanced to a cultivation level of 100,000 years?"

"Hehe, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was a naturally formed object back then, and our earliest master was not Tang San..." Bajiao emerged from the water and said coldly.

Its temper is just as volatile as Jiaojiao's, and its combat power is among the top of all Immortal Herb, so it also has a high degree of influence.

"You, you all..." Tang Wutong bit her lip, glaring fiercely at the many Immortal Herb.

They've all turned against us!

I should have known better than to have raised these ungrateful wretches.

Now he's actually speaking on behalf of an outsider.

She clenched her fists and coldly glanced at Wang Dong'er, who was also scrutinizing her from the crowd opposite. The two should be the same person, but now they were on opposing sides, locked in a life-or-death struggle.

"Do you dare to fight me, you imposter?" Tang Wutong sneered, arrogantly sizing up Wang Dong'er. Why could this guy win the favor of the Chosen One, while she couldn't even obtain a single Immortal Herb?

"..."

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Many powerful figures turned their attention to the two of them.

They were astonished to discover that the two looked exactly alike.

They look like twin sisters.

Both had long, light blue hair, but one's eyes held a fierce glint, while the other's were filled with stubbornness.

"This is... your sister?" Xian Lin'er was also stunned for a moment before she realized what was going on.

If they were the God King's siblings, then it wouldn't be their place to interfere in this matter.

It's a contest between the legitimate sons of the God King.

"No, just an imposter." Tang Wutong sneered, "I am Father's daughter. She... once she's been squeezed dry, she'll be refined, a stepping stone on my path to godhood, nothing more."

"Phew..." Xian Lin'er nodded, still somewhat doubtful.

In any case, this divine child contacted them directly through the Golden Ancient Tree, an authoritative and unquestionable connection, although... it was a bit unreliable.

"I don't care to be the daughter of God King." Wang Dong'er snorted lightly, her pretty face calm. "A fight is fine, but I don't fight without stakes. If I win, you can get lost, and we'll move the Immortal Herb Garden. If I lose..."

The beauty glanced hesitantly at Lu Cheng, who took her slender hand and gently massaged it.

Wang Dong'er instantly calmed down and looked proudly at Tang Wutong opposite her.

"Then do as you please!"

"Good!"

Before Xuan Zi and the others could agree, Tang Wutong, overwhelmed with anger, agreed first.

How dare a mere replica be compared to the real me?

"This..." Xuan Zi hesitated, his brows furrowed.

But he couldn't think of a better solution.

After all, in terms of sheer combat strength, our side is clearly at a disadvantage. It's impossible to suppress the other side by relying on the Shrek Academy's past brute force.

Since that's the case, the only option left is to take a shortcut.

Moreover, despite all that, this person is, after all, the God King, possessing divine blood within him, and with an endless stream of trump cards up his sleeve. Defeating a mere continental "native" should not be a problem for him.

"Be careful..." Xian Lin'er whispered a few words of advice.

The two girls, seemingly cut from the same mold, stood facing each other in a small circle cleared by the crowd, their eyes sparking with tension.
