Seeing Ye Qiu's stunned expression, Dugu Bo stood up, hands behind his back, and gazed at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
His voice carried a sense of awe and a hint of self-satisfaction.
"Hehe! Kid! Do you know how I got my eighth soul ring?"
"Sacrifice, perhaps?" Ye Qiu looked at the tea cup on the table, muttering to himself.
It seemed like he was making a guess, but at the same time, he might be answering Dugu Bo's question.
Dugu Bo, with his back to Ye Qiu, flashed a light in his eyes, secretly thinking, "This kid indeed possesses abilities similar to my benefactor!"
After a moment of silence, he had some different thoughts in his mind.
"Yes, it was a sacrifice—Medusa, the Snake Queen of seventy thousand years, voluntarily gave up her life with just a glance!" Dugu Bo's voice was leisurely and resonant, gradually sinking into reminiscence.
"That day! My benefactor descended from the sky with a blood-colored longsword! He saved me from a perilous situation."
"After saving my life, he also helped me hunt for the eighth soul ring. My soul power breakthrough reached level 83, and I even obtained a skull soul bone!"
"Later, my benefactor put these Ice and Fire Dual Spiritual Eyes into a secret realm and instructed me to guard this place, waiting for your arrival!"
Dugu Bo spoke, then turned around, giving Ye Qiu a deep look.
"Blood-colored longsword? Secret realm?" Ye Qiu mumbled, raising an eyebrow.
He was suspicious of the blood-colored longsword, but he had no concept of the secret realm.
"Kid, follow me!"
With a call to Ye Qiu, Dugu Bo soared into the air, heading towards the cliff.
"Hmm? Is this a test for myself?" Ye Qiu stood up, looked around at the smooth steep rock walls, his right leg emitting a faint light. He slowly ascended, chasing after Dugu Bo.
"Soul bone? The age doesn't seem low! Truly worthy of being my benefactor's descendant!"
Looking down from above, Dugu Bo glanced back, eyes filled with surprise but devoid of any greed.
By the time Ye Qiu reached the top, Dugu Bo had already waited for a while.
"Tsk tsk! Not bad luck!"
"Hehe, kid, it's just your luck!"
After exchanging a couple of polite remarks, they stood on top of what seemed like a volcanic crater. When Ye Qiu looked into the distance, the Sunset Forest was bathed in golden twilight, living up to its name.
"Wait a minute!"
Ye Qiu sensed something was wrong. There was no poisonous array around the Ice and Fire Dual Spiritual Eyes. How did he miss this place during his exploration?
How did he not detect it!?
About to rush down the mountain, Dugu Bo stopped him.
"Is something strange? Seeing your reaction, it seems you've searched the Sunset Forest yourself!"
Dugu Bo stroked his long beard, smiling as he looked at Ye Qiu.
In response, Ye Qiu could only awkwardly laugh a few times, feeling a bit embarrassed.
After all, he had initially planned to take without informing.
"I don't know what you're up to, but since you haven't met my benefactor, how do you know about this place? Come with me!"
Dugu Bo scoffed at the doubt, not thinking too much about it. When it came to his benefactor's mysterious eyes, leaving some tricks behind was easy.
"Come a bit closer!"
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's words, Ye Qiu, though puzzled, moved closer.
He felt a thick spiritual power covering him.
Looking at Dugu Bo's hand seals, a familiar feeling rushed over him.
Shock filled his eyes, pupils dilating, corners of his eyes twitching.
Snake- Sheep -Monkey-Boar-Horse- Tiger.
Dugu Bo swiftly completed the hand seals, and the surrounding space seemed to transform into a transparent lake. Ripples spread, swallowing the figures of the two.
"Yo! It seems you recognize these hand seals!"
In the Sunset Forest, at dusk, a hoarse voice echoed.
The figures of Dugu Bo and Ye Qiu reappeared in the vast open space.
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Ye Qiu, still in shock, nodded mechanically. His mouth twitched, attempting to laugh but failing.
Even his forehead had a bit of cold sweat. Could it be that his so-called father was also a transmigrator?
Too strange! How could such a thing happen in this world? Such behavior is really...
"Alright! Let's go back!"
Having finished showing off, Dugu Bo brought Ye Qiu back. In the blink of an eye, the two figures appeared again in the place resembling a volcanic crater.
"Dugu Senior, since I... uh, my father, has been brought up, why hasn't the poison been cured?"
"Sigh~" Dugu Bo sighed, a bit helpless about this. "Just when my benefactor was about to tell me the antidote, something unexpected happened, and he left in a hurry without finishing the instructions."
Turning to Ye Qiu, he grabbed his shoulder.
"But it's okay. Now that you've found it, the poison of the two of us, father and son, can be cured!"
"Where did he go?"
"I don't know. After that incident, I never saw my benefactor again. But I suspect that his disappearance is related to the Martial Soul Hall!"
Ye Qiu frowned. The situation was getting weirder. How could it be related to the Martial Spirit Hall?
Dugu Bo continued, "Over twenty years ago, after a Soul Duel, I witnessed my benefactor's blood-colored longsword appearing in the hands of the current Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, who was then the Holy Maiden, Bibi Dong! That was the last clue about my benefactor!"
"Bibi Dong!" Ye Qiu's expression changed. Suddenly, he recalled the strange incidents that happened with Yu Xiaogang before.
The deception of Bibi Dong by Yu Xiaogang was widely known!
"Senior, have you heard of Yu Xiaogang? Is there any connection between him and this matter?"
"Huh? You actually know that waste?" Dugu Bo looked at Ye Qiu in surprise.
"But I don't know about this. However, after that Soul Duel, not long afterward, I heard that the Holy Maiden Bibi Dong's personality changed drastically, becoming a ruthless killer! Yu Xiaogang provoked her at that time and was imprisoned and tortured for half a year before being thrown out of the Martial Spirit Hall City!"
Ye Qiu naturally knew who that old dragon was—Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen!
"Last question! What was his name?"
"At that time, my benefactor introduced himself as Ye Xiu!"
