Dugu Bo didn't know what those two immortal herbs at the twin centers of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were either he only knew that one carried an extremely cold poison, while the other carried an extremely hot poison.
Both were incomparably rare and highly toxic, so much so that even he, with his years of experience researching poisons, wouldn't dare to touch them lightly.
And at this moment, those two highly toxic immortal herbs had vanished simultaneously.
"Someone really has been here… Just who could have done this?"
Dugu Bo couldn't help but speculate in his heart.
"Could it be that brat?"
"No! That's impossible!"
"Even if the flames on his body barely managed to break through my Jade Scaled Serpent Poison Formation, he wouldn't have found his way here."
"Could it be that someone else came along with Yue Guan?"
Looking at the gradually calming twin springs, Dugu Bo's heart also slowly settled down.
The recent battle with Yue Guan had been perilous and nerve-racking.
There was a difference in strength between them, and in the end, he had fallen behind.
This time, Yue Guan pursued him relentlessly, seemingly unwilling to let him off.
In order to avoid exposing the existence of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he fled swiftly toward the outskirts of the forest, luring Yue Guan out of Sunset Forest.
Then, he deliberately set up a poison formation to mislead Yue Guan, using the opportunity to circle back to his lair.
It was precisely because of this that he was delayed for quite some time.
When Yan had just harvested those immortal herbs, he had been extremely cautious with each one none were uprooted, and the surrounding herbs weren't disturbed either.
So although Dugu Bo sensed something was amiss, he didn't notice many herbs missing.
Only, the two herbs at the center of the twin springs were far too conspicuous. Their absence was easily noticed.
"The spring just now was a bit disturbed… It seemed like something fell in. Could it be that damned herb thief?"
"Those two herbs, even I wouldn't dare touch lightly, and yet some lunatic came for them."
"If that damned herb thief really fell into the spring of utmost cold and heat, he'd have been reduced to pus and bones in an instant."
"To dare steal this old man's herbs he truly deserves to die! Haha~"
Thinking of this, a smug smile surfaced on Dugu Bo's face.
Several minutes had passed since he descended to this place.
If someone really had fallen in, they would have long been dissolved by the twin springs.
Dugu Bo looked around, muttering to himself in his heart:
"To think I lost to that sissy Chrysanthemum Guan again! Damn it! That last battle consumed a lot of my soul power I need to recover as soon as possible. Since someone has already found this place, I'll have to be even more cautious from now on."
Dugu Bo's figure flickered, leaving the valley floor and returning to the cave on the mountainside to cultivate and recover his expended soul power.
Yan had sunk into the twin springs, but his body felt particularly comfortable.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had an extremely powerful catalytic effect on the two toxic immortal herbs he had just consumed, allowing him to absorb them more quickly and convert their ice and fire energy into his body.
But he knew that this comfort would only last a short while. After all, the medicinal strength within those two immortal herbs was terrifying. If the energy converted too quickly, his body wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Sure enough!
Moments later, the conflicting forces of ice and fire exploded with a massive shock. Unable to circulate the Tai Chi Cultivation Method within the spring, he fell unconscious before he could even resist.
On the other side—
Yue Guan rushed back to the hotel in Tokes City, only to find no trace of Yan.
This time, he had been entrusted with the important task of protecting Yan. If anything happened to him, Yue Guan would be held responsible and would have no way of explaining himself to Bibi Dong upon returning.
"What's with that brat Yan? Didn't I tell him to head back first? He already left safely, so why hasn't he returned here? Or did he encounter some danger…"
The more Yue Guan thought about it, the more anxious he became. He searched all over Tokes City throughout the night but to no avail.
He speculated that perhaps Yan had never returned to Tokes City and was still in Sunset Forest.
If that was truly the case, and he had the misfortune of running into the treacherous Dugu Bo, things could end badly.
With no time to think further, Yue Guan hurriedly rushed toward the direction of Sunset Forest.
While cultivating, Dugu Bo once again sensed Yue Guan's aura and immediately dashed out without hesitation.
This was his lair, housing many herbs he cherished like treasures he couldn't allow Yue Guan to discover this place.
Yue Guan was still searching for Yan when he suddenly sensed Dugu Bo's aura.
"Old poison freak, stop hiding get out here!"
Having been discovered by Yue Guan, Dugu Bo quickly emerged.
He saw a trace of unease on Yue Guan's face and thought back to the scene he'd witnessed at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well yesterday. His heart was instantly filled with delight as he sneered sarcastically:
"Chrysanthemum Guan, why have you come back again? Looks like you're looking for someone. That brat didn't return, did he?"
Seeing Dugu Bo's gloating face, Yue Guan instantly erupted in fury.
"Old poison freak, what business is it of yours?!"
Yue Guan had no intention of fighting with Dugu Bo right now, nor did he want to get any information out of him.
Dugu Bo said coldly."Yue Guan, stop searching. That brat might already be nothing but bones!"
"What did you say?! You saw him?!"
Yue Guan's eyes widened in shock, filled with anxiety.
"I didn't see him. But if he got lost in the forest and ended up eaten by some soul beast, who knows? Hahaha~~"
Dugu Bo became even more smug.
He thought that the person who fell into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well yesterday was most likely the young soul master Yue Guan was now searching for.
If that was truly the case, then that young soul master had long since turned into a pool of pus, dissolved within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The more Yue Guan thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. He had a feeling Dugu Bo had seen Yan afterward and that Yan had never left Sunset Forest at all.
But then again, Yan possessed the ability to fly and had already reached the Soul King level. It was impossible for him to have fallen prey to a soul beast.
That left one strong possibility—Dugu Bo was lying.
Yue Guan stared at Dugu Bo with piercing eyes, his gaze cold and sharp.
"Old poison freak, do you even know who that young soul master is? If you dare lay a hand on him, the Spirit Hall will wipe your entire Dugu clan from existence!"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo's heart trembled.
Arrogant his whole life, with countless enemies, he had never cared about who they were except for his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, who was the only one he truly cared about.
"Yue Guan, I haven't seen him. Believe it or not. Since you have more pressing matters, we'll fight another day."
With that, Dugu Bo turned into a streak of green light and vanished into the forest.
Yue Guan didn't feel like chasing him either and continued searching the forest for any trace of Yan.
Once sure that Yue Guan wasn't pursuing him, Dugu Bo returned to the cliff valley and once again arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Looking at the calm twin springs, Dugu Bo muttered to himself."Brat, blame your bad luck. Who told you to come steal this old man's herbs? Losing your life is your own fault!"
What Dugu Bo didn't know was that before he returned, Yan had already left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
