Stealing Ice and Fire (2)
Anping and Gu Yuena did not linger after they decided to go to the Ice and Fire Eye. They bid farewell to Xu Xiaoyan and the others and teleported directly to the Sunset Forest, which was the closest place to the Ice and Fire Eye.
Lin Qing, Xu Xiaoyan and the rest were curious about what Anping and Gu Yuena had been up to lately, but they refrained from asking since they seemed to be in a hurry.
As they arrived at the familiar Sunset Forest, Anping and Gu Yuena recalled their first visit to this place and the events that had transpired there.
They also remembered the existence of the Tang Sect, which valued the Ice and Fire Eye greatly. Lin Qing and his companions had been captured by the Tang Sect for merely having the intention of searching for the Ice and Fire Eye. Their memories had been erased by force.
Now that Anping and Gu Yuena were about to enter the Ice and Fire Eye, they knew that the Tang Sect would not let them go easily. Even if they did nothing, the Tang Sect would still pursue them relentlessly.
Upon reaching the Sunset Forest, Mr. Xiong asked, "Is the Ice and Fire Eye here? How do we find it?"
Anping replied, "It's not too difficult. The Ice and Fire Eye has the ability to make plants grow faster, but that requires energy. The Ice and Fire Eye was formed by the Ice and Fire Dragon King, so we just need to sense where the ice and fire elements are most concentrated and we can locate it."
Anping was not the same as before. His mental power had expanded greatly and he could easily detect the strongest source of ice and fire elements in the entire Sunset Forest.
That was also the direction that Lin Qing and the others had tried to explore before. As Anping had guessed, they had attracted the attention of the Tang Sect because they had found the right clue.
Otherwise, there would not be so many people coming to explore every year and the Tang Sect would not have taken action against Lin Qing and the others. Of course, another reason for Anping and Gu Yuena's involvement was that they were members of the Spirit Pagoda and that Lin Qing and the others were investigating the secret of Poseidon's growth. The Tang Sect could not help but be suspicious of such a coincidence.
By sensing the location of the Ice and Fire Eye, Anping discovered that there were indeed a large number of soul masters near it. These soul masters were probably the ones who guarded the Ice and Fire Eye for the Tang Sect and there were many Titled Douluos among them. The most powerful one had even reached the level of Ultimate Douluo. This Ultimate Douluo was probably the current leader of the Tang Sect.
The reason why the Tang Sect had gathered so many soul masters near the Ice and Fire Eye was because of Anping and Gu Yuena. They had made the Tang Sect wary by their previous actions.
They knew that the Ice and Fire Eye was likely related to the Dragon Clan. After losing the Dragon Valley, the Tang Sect immediately wondered if Anping and Gu Yuena would target the Ice and Fire Eye next.
Therefore, after learning that Anping and Gu Yuena had returned to the Douluo Continent, the first thing the Tang Sect did was to assemble a large number of soul masters near the Ice and Fire Eye. After losing the Dragon Valley, they did not want to lose the two eyes of ice and fire as well.
The Dragon Valley and the Ice and Fire Eye were the most important places for the Tang Sect. Without them, the Tang Sect might not have declined with the skills left by Tang San, but it would certainly not be as prosperous as it was now.
Especially after Anping and Gu Yuena had moved the entire Star Dou Forest, the Tang Sect had to be on guard. For the sake of the Ice and Fire Eye, they had gathered all the Tang Sect members who were not on missions near it.
Seeing Anping's serious expression, Di Tian asked, "Is there something wrong with the Ice and Fire Eye?"
Anping shook his head slightly. "No, the Ice and Fire Eye is fine. It's just that there are too many people from the Tang Sect nearby. If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid some of them are Ultimate Douluos. This time is different from before. You might have to take action."
As Anping said, if he and Gu Yuena had not taken away the Dragon Valley, the Tang Sect would not have been so vigilant. They would not have used Ultimate Douluos to guard the Ice and Fire Eye.
Mr. Xiong said casually, "What's the big deal about Ultimate Douluos? You can rest assured that Di Tian and I are here. We won't let them interfere with our operation."
Di Tian nodded. If he and Mr. Xiong had faced so many Tang Sect soul masters before going to the Star Luo Continent, they might not have been able to handle them. But after learning the rules, he felt that he and Mr. Xiong could deal with them as long as Tang Hao and A Yin did not show up personally.
"In that case, let's go." Anping agreed.
After determining the exact location of the Ice and Fire Eye, Anping began to set up the teleportation technique. Although he knew that Di Tian and Mr. Xiong might have to take action, he did not intend to confront the Tang Sect directly. Instead, he placed the teleportation point at the Ice and Fire Eye.
A flash of silver light flickered, and Anping and the others vanished from the spot. When they reappeared, they were already in a valley, and what they saw was a strange lake. The lake had two colors of red and blue, and they were clearly separated and did not mix with each other.
All kinds of exotic flowers and plants grew on the shore of the Ice and Fire Eye. Even though Di Tian and Mr. Xiong were mentally prepared, they were still stunned. They had seen natural treasures before, but never so many of them. This was their first time seeing such heavenly treasures and earthly materials.
At that moment, streams of spiritual power suddenly swept towards them. Anping and the others knew that these spiritual powers probably came from the plant soul beasts.
Feeling the hostile intent in the spiritual power, Di Tian snorted and shook it off. He had more than 800,000 years of cultivation, how could his spiritual power be compared to these plant-type soul beasts who were not good at fighting?
At the same time, six figures appeared not far in front of Anping and the others, led by a man wearing a purple robe. The style of the robe seemed a bit outdated compared to today's fashion.
The six people walked towards Anping and the others with unfriendly expressions. When they were close enough, the man in purple said in a cold tone, "Whoever you are, this is not a place for you to come. If you know what's good for you, leave immediately. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
