Seeing Ye Qiu's stunned expression, Dugu Bo stood up, hands behind his back, gazing at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
His voice carried awe and a hint of pride.
"Hehe! Kid! Do you know how I got my eighth spirit ring?"
"A sacrifice?" Ye Qiu murmured, looking at the teacup on the table.
It seemed like a guess, yet also an answer to Dugu Bo's question.
Dugu Bo, with his back to Ye Qiu, gleamed in his eyes, thinking to himself, "As expected!
This kid really does possess an ability similar to my benefactor! "
After a moment of silence, a different thought formed in his mind.
"That's right, it was the sacrifice of Medusa, the 70,000-year-old queen of snakes! Just a glance from her, and she willingly gave her life!" Dugu Bo's voice was leisurely and resonant, gradually sinking into reminiscence.
"That day! My benefactor descended from the sky, wielding a blood-red longsword! Saving me from danger."
"After saving my life, he even helped me hunt for my eighth soul ring, breaking through to level 83 in soul power, and also obtained a skull!"
"Afterwards, my benefactor transformed this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well into a secret realm, and instructed me to guard this place! Awaiting your arrival!"
Dugu Bo said, then turned around and gave Ye Qiu a deep look.
"A blood-red longsword? A secret realm?"
Ye Qiu murmured, raising an eyebrow.
He had some doubts about the blood-red longsword, but had no concept of the secret realm.
"Boy, come with me!"
Dugu Bo called out to Ye Qiu, then soared into the air, flying towards the cliff.
"Hmm? Is he testing himself?"
Looking at the smooth, steep rock face around him, Ye Qiu stood up, his right leg emitting a faint light, and slowly rose up, chasing after Dugu Bo.
"A soul bone? Its age seems quite high! No wonder it's a descendant of my benefactor!"
Dugu Bo glanced back, his eyes showing only surprise, not a trace of greed.
Dugu Bo had been waiting for a while when Ye Qiu arrived.
"Tsk tsk! Not a bad opportunity!"
"Heh. Just a lucky break for the kid!" Ye
Qiu exchanged a few words with Dugu Bo.
Standing there, Ye Qiu realized it was actually a mountain, and he was standing on the summit, which resembled a volcano!
Looking into the distance, the Sunset Forest was bathed in a golden glow, dreamlike and ethereal, truly deserving of its name!
"Something's not right!"
Ye Qiu sensed something was amiss. There was no poison array set up around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, not even any concealment.
How did it escape his detection back then?!
Looking at the surrounding environment, Ye Qiu clearly remembered that he had definitely explored this place!
Ye Qiu made a move to rush down the mountain,
but Dugu Bo stopped him.
"Is it strange? Judging from your appearance, you must have already searched Sunset Forest yourself!"
Dugu Bo stroked his long beard, smiling at Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu could only chuckle awkwardly.
After all, he had planned to take it without asking!
"I really don't know what's wrong with you. If you haven't met your benefactor, how do you know about this place? Come with me!"
Dugu Bo only made a sarcastic remark about this, without giving it much thought.
For his benefactor's unfathomable eyes, leaving behind some kind of backup plan was easy.
Wasn't that what happened to him?
Without anyone noticing, he had taken several more lives!
"Come closer!"
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Ye Qiu, though puzzled, moved closer to cooperate. He
felt a heavy spiritual force covering him.
Looking at the hand seals Dugu Bo had formed, a sense of familiarity washed over him.
His shocked eyes widened, and his eyes twitched slightly.

Dugu Bo quickly completed the hand seals, and the surrounding space seemed to transform into a clear lake, ripples spreading out and engulfing the two figures.
"Oh! Looks like you recognize these hand seals!"
In the Sunset Forest, as dusk fell, a hoarse voice rang out.
Dugu Bo and Ye Qiu appeared in the vast open space they had just left.
Hearing Dugu Bo's words, Ye Qiu nodded numbly, his lips twitching, trying to laugh but unable to.
Cold sweat even appeared on his forehead. Could it be that his so-called father, whom Dugu Bo mentioned, was also a transmigrator?
This was too bizarre! How could such a thing appear in this world! This behavior was truly...
"But shouldn't you look around first?" Dugu Bo had no idea what Ye Qiu was thinking.
"Around?" Ye Qiu looked around, his eyes widening. "This! This mountain!"
Hearing Ye Qiu's exclamation, Dugu Bo smiled with satisfaction. He liked this expression.
Back when Yan Yan came, her reaction was even more intense than Ye Qiu's.
He himself was even more pathetic.
Dugu Bo would never forget that day!
With just a glance, the entire mountain was uprooted and stuffed into a spatial rift, isolating it from the outside world.
Those outside could neither see the scene inside nor enter.
Those inside could see the outside, but that was all they could see.
To enter or leave, they had to perform these special hand seals.
"How about it? This is the secret realm!"
Ye Qiu finally understood why he couldn't find the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
It wasn't even in the same space anymore; it would be a miracle if he could find it now!
"Alright! Let's go back!"
After showing off, Dugu Bo took Ye Qiu back, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them reappeared in that volcano-like place.
"Senior Dugu, since I... I... cough cough!"
Having come to this world and inexplicably gained a father, Ye Qiu was really not used to it.
"Why hasn't your poison been cured?"
"Sigh~!" Dugu Bo sighed, somewhat helpless about it.
"Just as my benefactor was about to tell me the antidote, an accident happened, and he left in a hurry before he could finish explaining!"
Turning to Ye Qiu, he grabbed his shoulder.
"But it's alright, now that you've found us, our poison can be cured!"
"Where did he go?"
"I don't know. I haven't seen my benefactor since then, but I suspect his disappearance is related to the Spirit Hall!"
Ye Qiu frowned. This was getting stranger and stranger. It
was even connected to the Spirit Hall?
Dugu Bo continued to add,
"More than 20 years ago, during a Spirit Battle, I personally witnessed the blood-red longsword in my benefactor's hand appear in the hands of Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall, who was then the Holy Maiden! This was the last time a clue about my benefactor appeared!"
"Bibi Dong!" Ye Qiu's expression changed, and he suddenly remembered the strange things that had happened to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang's deception of the Holy Maiden had become common knowledge!
"Senior, have you heard of Yu Xiaogang? Is he connected to this matter?"
"Huh? You actually know that good-for-nothing?" Dugu Bo looked at Ye Qiu in surprise.
"However, I don't know about that."
Dugu Bo stroked his chin, thinking carefully.
"I remember, it was not long after that Soul Battle that I heard that the Holy Maiden Bibi Dong's personality changed drastically, and she became a ruthless killer! Yu Xiaogang provoked her at that time and was imprisoned and tortured for a full six months before being thrown out of Wuhun City!"
"Hehe! It caused quite a stir back then, even the old dragon coming to demand him was no use!"
Ye Qiu naturally knew who that old dragon was, Yu Xiaogang's biological father, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen!
"Junior has one last question! What's his name?"
"At that time, my benefactor called himself Ye Xiu!"
