Although both the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Sunset Forest were quite close to Heaven Dou City, the former was to the southwest of Heaven Dou City, while the latter was to the southeast.
Ye Guyi instructed Xu Zihuang: "Zihuang, there's no need to be polite with those plant-type soul beasts inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. After taking those immortal herbs, come back early."
With Xu Zihuang's current strength, even if caught off guard, he could severely injure a Limit Douluo. Naturally, Ye Guyi had no worries that Xu Zihuang couldn't handle that group of plant-type soul beasts whose combat power wasn't particularly strong.
This was already an absolute gap in level.
"Rest assured, Sister Lingyi." Xu Zihuang replied with a smile.
The two of them, flying side by side, just happened to catch sight of the towering outline of Heaven Dou City from afar. They tacitly turned in opposite directions and flew apart.
A pair of bone dragon wings with an extremely powerful texture spread out behind him. Xu Zihuang's entire body instantly turned into a black afterimage as he streaked over the Sunset Forest. This time, heading to the Sunset Forest, he didn't need to deliberately circulate his soul power to mobilize the power of destruction to protect himself. The annihilating power naturally derived from his Purple Radiance Thunder Prison Dragon martial soul was enough to reduce the dazzling, deadly, colorful poisonous mists that came toward him to nothingness, they couldn't even get close to him at all.
It had only been a year since his last visit to the Sunset Forest. But without a doubt, Xu Zihuang's overall strength had once again made a tremendous leap.
Aside from the improvement in soul power cultivation brought by top-grade soul rings and soul bones, the auxiliary effect of the spiritual-attribute soul core at the center of his brow could not be ignored. With a soul core, even if he didn't cultivate himself, the soul core would continuously help him increase his soul power.
Of course, it also had a certain relationship with his state of mind.
Previously, when Xu Zihuang wanted to challenge Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui, his main purpose was actually to use the two of them as stepping stones for him to reach the peak. He needed this kind of indomitable momentum, and by putting pressure on himself, he could maximize the stimulation of his own potential.
Soon, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well came into view. Xu Zihuang directly controlled his body, passing through the seven-colored poisonous mist above, and descended into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
At the same time, a scene was unfolding inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Guided by the power of destiny, Wang Qiu'er half-crouched, her pink-blue wavy long hair partially touching the ground, further accentuating her perfect body curves.
Above her slender jade hand hovered a palm-sized flower resembling a peony, swaying in the wind. This immortal herb appeared to be a flower, but it was actually a herb. It had no fragrance or other decorations, not even a single leaf. All it had was that faint blood-red color, filled with sorrowful blood hues.
It was precisely the Yearning Heartbroken Red that Xu Zihuang had reserved. After more than a year, its age had perfectly reached one hundred thousand years.
A one-hundred-thousand-year-old Yearning Heartbroken Red, an immortal herb of divine grade.
However, this Yearning Heartbroken Red had already been separated from the Black Absolute Stone connected to its roots and stem. A trace of bright red blood overflowed from the corner of Wang Qiu'er's mouth, clearly showing that she had personally plucked this Yearning Heartbroken Red.
"Yearning Heartbroken Red…" Wang Qiu'er murmured absentmindedly in her heart. Her originally cold expression became complicated, a mixture of bitterness and relief.
But soon after, she seemed to realize something. She always felt that everything was too coincidental.
Not long ago, she had just learned from Bi Ji about the secret legend of the Yearning Heartbroken Red, and shortly afterward, guided by the power of destiny, she came to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and saw such a Yearning Heartbroken Red that had reached one hundred thousand years of age.
The plant-type soul beasts of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had long since awakened, but they were all very afraid of the Eye of Destiny between Wang Qiu'er's brows and did not dare to speak out or disturb her.
"Fragrance, Bajiao, say something!" Lights flickered on the pink flower of the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product's main body as it communicated with the other two plant-type soul beasts that had ten-thousand-year cultivation.
The Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product, full of tea-like charm, deliberately put on a pitiful appearance.
"This Yearning Heartbroken Red was reserved by that person. If she takes it away, we're all finished. Wuwuwuwu…"
Having experienced the incident with the Fiery Apricot Sparse earlier, the thoughtful Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass and the Qiluo Tulip had long seen through the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product's little scheme. They remained silent, letting the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product act out its drama.
In reality, they were also somewhat helpless. They couldn't afford to offend that human soul master, and the one in front of them was equally untouchable.
From the moment Wang Qiu'er had displayed the ability of the Eye of Destiny, they had confirmed her identity as the Emperor's Auspicious Beast. Regardless of Wang Qiu'er's strength, just the fact that she could use the Eye of Destiny to judge them meant their futures would be completely severed.
Seeing that the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass and the Qiluo Tulip ignored it, the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product finally couldn't hold back and weakly said to Wang Qiu'er: "Could you not take this Yearning Heartbroken Red away? Previously, a human soul master came here and said he had taken a liking to this Yearning Heartbroken Red. If this Yearning Heartbroken Red is gone, he definitely won't let us off. Wuwuwuwuwu—"
The Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product's main body trembled slightly, like a sad little girl, evoking pity.
"Since you are the Emperor's Auspicious Beast, then we are all your subjects. I believe you wouldn't want to see us die miserably at the hands of that human soul master, right? He is truly too powerful. Even if we all joined forces, we wouldn't be his match. If you insist on taking this Yearning Heartbroken Red, then could you help us deal with him?"
Wang Qiu'er glanced sideways at the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product and slowly stood up. Her pink-blue long hair clung to her delicate body as her gaze turned cold.
But before Wang Qiu'er could say anything, the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product suddenly seemed to have been frightened by something and became incoherent again.
"I-I-I-I-I…"
Wang Qiu'er's body trembled slightly as she turned to look behind her.
A tall black-haired youth stood quietly behind her. The youth's deep purple eyes seemed to contain countless stars, easily drawing one's mind to unconsciously sink into them.
The newcomer was none other than Xu Zihuang, who had separated from Ye Guyi and come alone to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er's gazes met in midair, and both remained silent for a long time.
Xu Zihuang's gaze paused for a moment on the Yearning Heartbroken Red above Wang Qiu'er's palm, then he frowned and asked: "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I be here?" Wang Qiu'er lightly pursed her lips, staring straight at Xu Zihuang.
Hearing Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er's conversation, the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product's soul nearly flew away in fright, completely at a loss.
They actually knew each other?! It's over! Wuwuwuwu, this time we're definitely going to die!
What made it tremble the most was that the two of them clearly had some emotional entanglement. To pluck the Yearning Heartbroken Red, one had to think of the person they loved, and it had to be with true and sincere feelings.
Although the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product had never entered the human world and didn't understand human emotions, from the Emperor's Auspicious Beast's expression and gaze upon seeing Xu Zihuang, it could basically make some judgments.
Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er were each preoccupied with their own thoughts and had no time to pay attention to what was going through the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product's mind.
Wang Qiu'er subconsciously gripped the Yearning Heartbroken Red tighter in her hand, her gaze flickering.
But Xu Zihuang walked forward step by step with a solemn expression until he stood in front of Wang Qiu'er, then suddenly grabbed the wrist of the hand in which she tightly held the Yearning Heartbroken Red.
Wang Qiu'er stubbornly tried to resist, but with Xu Zihuang's current physical strength and soul power cultivation, he was long since no longer someone Wang Qiu'er could contend with.
Seeing the gods fighting, the plant-type soul beasts inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well fell deathly silent, fearing they would be implicated.
The one who breathed a sigh of relief was naturally the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Product. It tried its best to lower its presence, hoping Xu Zihuang would overlook it.
Wang Qiu'er lightly bit her silver teeth, but in the end, she yielded and withdrew her strength. A charming flush appeared on her pretty face; whether from using too much force or from feeling shy about it was unclear.
"Did you pluck this Yearning Heartbroken Red?" Xu Zihuang gazed at Wang Qiu'er with burning eyes and asked in a deep voice.
Not only because the prerequisite condition for plucking the Yearning Heartbroken Red confirmed some of his suspicions, but more importantly, because he felt that Wang Qiu'er was very likely being schemed against.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was far too sensitive a place. Wang Qiu'er looked identical to Tang Wutong, and there were faint connections between the two. He couldn't help but think more about it. Perhaps that selfless God King still had his eye on Wang Qiu'er's destiny and Golden Dragon bloodline. This scheme might even involve him as well.
Wang Qiu'er had just nodded when she heard Xu Zihuang calmly continue: "Give this Yearning Heartbroken Red to me. You can't handle it."
