……

As the last rays of the setting sun spilled across the sky like molten gold, gilding the undulating forest silhouettes with a tragic yet magnificent orange-red hue, the three from Tangshan finally reached the edge of the Starry Sky Forest.

The rich spiritual energy in the air began to thin, the density of towering ancient trees gradually decreased, and the roars of soul beasts faded into the distance, replaced by traces of human activity.

Swish!

The dense canopy of trees was parted by Tangshan, leaving a good path for Guyue behind, and the sharp thorns grazed his skin without leaving a mark.

"That's about it, we'll be leaving the Star Dou Great Forest soon."

With his exceptional eyesight, Serpent Spear Douluo could vaguely make out a small black dot in the far distance, which was the outline of a supply town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Gu Yue, who was following behind Tang Shan, paused slightly, then quickly walked a few steps to the side of Serpent Spear Douluo: "Senior, my family is almost here."

Serpent Spear Douluo nodded slightly, while also feeling a bit curious about the strength of Gu Yue's family and whether they could be recruited under Qian Renxue's command.

Tang Shan, who was following behind, stiffened for a moment, but managed to regain his composure thanks to his precise control over his body.

He told himself that even if he was prepared to fight, he and the Serpent Spear Douluo would be completely powerless to resist. Rather than arousing suspicion by being tense, he would rather pretend that he knew nothing. He could only hope that the goodwill he had gained over Gu Yue in this short period of time would have some effect.

"How did your family find you? Did they contact you through some secret method?"

While asking Gu Yue questions out of curiosity, the Serpent Spear Douluo quietly spread his spiritual power, waiting for the arrival of Gu Yue's family.

In his view, it was already the best that Gu Yue's family could have a Soul Douluo. With his Title Douluo level strength, he could still put some pressure on the other party. Even if the other party discovered his spiritual power, he could only sense the surrounding environment and did not intend to investigate their background, so it would not cause any conflict.

"There is a secret method that allows me to sense how close or distant they are to me."

Gu Yue explained for a moment, then turned and walked up to Tang Shan: "Wherever you are in the future, I may come to see you in a while."

Hearing Gu Yue's question, Tang Shan breathed a sigh of relief. Since the other party said so, there was a high probability that he could leave safely this time. Although it was comfortable to cling to a powerful figure, there was still some danger.

"I will probably stay in Tiandou City for the next few years and won't go out. If you want to come find me, you can come to the First Prince's residence in Tiandou City."

"Okay, I've got it."

A faint smile slowly bloomed on Gu Yue's serene face. The smile was not as dazzling as fireworks, but as clear as a spring, carrying a purity that cleansed people's hearts and quietly seeped into their souls.

Her long, flowing black hair swayed gently in the breeze, making her appear even more ethereal.

Boom!

Before the Serpent Spear Douluo could react, he felt a slight shock to his mental power. His face was filled with horror. Without hesitation, he grabbed Tang Shan and Gu Yue's shoulders with one hand each and retreated explosively.

Having no chance to unleash their martial soul and soul rings, upon sensing that terrifying aura, the Serpent Spear Douluo practically poured out all his soul power, dragging the two of them as they fled for hundreds of meters.

"Di Tian, ​​you scared them."

Biji looked at Di Tian beside her with some helplessness. The fading aura in the distance proved that the Serpent Spear Douluo was indeed quite frightened.

The middle-aged beast god Di Tian with black hair was also a little embarrassed: "I just wanted to intimidate that human titled expert, but it seems that I was a little too frightened. If it really doesn't work, I will apologize to him."

As he spoke, his hand transformed into a jet-black dragon claw, reaching into the space in front of him and groping for something.

"Then I'll stop them from running out. If they run into the forest outside, it will make too much noise."

With a hint of helplessness, Bi Ji transformed into a vibrant green light and chased after the direction in which the Serpent Spear Douluo had retreated.

The wind howled, and the scenery around us rushed by, leaving afterimages of trees trailing behind us.

A strong gust of wind blew against Gu Yue and Tang Shan. Because they had to retreat at full speed, the Serpent Spear Douluo was unable to spare any more soul power to protect them. Although the wind pressure did not cause any damage, their hair was definitely disheveled.

Amidst the biting wind, Tang Shan subconsciously glanced at Gu Yue. Considering Gu Yue's previous words and the Serpent Spear Douluo's reaction, if nothing unexpected happened, the only thing that could frighten Gu Yue was probably the ferocious beast subordinate of the Silver Dragon King beside him.

Turning her head, although her flowing black hair obscured most of her expression, the clear innocence in her eyes was still quite evident.

That innocent look made Tang Shan wonder if he had guessed wrong, and that the person who came was not one of her ferocious beast subordinates, but a powerful human who happened to be passing by and carried malice.

"We apologize for our impudence. We meant no harm."

With a gentle female voice, the emerald-colored light ball caught up with the three of them in the blink of an eye. Before the Serpent Spear Douluo could react, the incomparably powerful life force poured out from the emerald light ball, and almost instantly took control of the three of them.

The auspicious beast that Gu Yue had been holding in her arms was about to pounce on the emerald light, but she quickly pulled it back.

Serpent Spear Douluo's expression was serious, his body tense, and he unhesitatingly protected Tang Shan and the other two behind him.

The emerald-colored light dissipated, revealing a woman full of vitality.

She was a woman of exceptional beauty, with long, emerald-green hair that cascaded down her back, and eyes that shimmered with emerald light, as if they contained the purest source of life in the world.

She wore a light green dress, the hem of which seemed to have countless green leaves swaying and dancing in the breeze. Her arms were bare, and her skin was as white as jade, radiating a breathtakingly lustrous glow under the emerald halo.

The wings behind her, formed from life energy, flapped slowly, each movement filling the surrounding air with vibrant life.

"Hello, I am Gu Yue's family member. I'm here to take her away. I apologize for any offense I may have caused earlier."

Brigitte spoke with an apologetic expression and a sincere tone.

The Serpent Spear Douluo did not reply immediately, but instead looked at Gu Yue, who was being held in her hand.

"Senior, Aunt Bi is indeed my family."

Gu Yue blinked, then nodded, acknowledging Bi Ji's identity, and also hugged the auspicious beast in her arms tighter to prevent it from rushing out again.

Only after receiving Gu Yue's confirmation did Serpent Spear Douluo breathe a sigh of relief, slowly descending and landing on the ground.

"I never expected your family to be so powerful." Serpent Spear Douluo couldn't help but be somewhat shocked.

"We are a Soul Master family that lives in seclusion in the Star Dou Great Forest. We live and die on this land, so basically no one on the continent knows of our existence."

Biji picked up where Guyue left off and slowly explained.

At the same time, emerald light enveloped Serpent Spear Douluo's entire body. Before he could react, he clearly sensed that his soul power was recovering at an extremely alarming speed. Moreover, the vigorous life force nourished his body and healed the previously undetected hidden injuries.

He was at least a healing-type Soul Master of the Super Douluo level. After making this judgment, Serpent Spear Douluo was still deeply moved.

You must know that there wasn't a single healing-type Title Douluo on the entire Douluo Continent, yet he encountered a Super Douluo-level healing-type Soul Master right after coming to the Star Dou Great Forest. How could he not be shocked?

Moreover, Gu Yue's family may be more powerful than that.

Recalling the dark power that had so easily shaken his mental strength, Serpent Spear Douluo's mood became somewhat solemn.

What a mysterious family, what a mysterious force. I wonder if they will become an obstacle to the young master's plans. If all else fails, I'm afraid I'll have to ask the elders to take action.

At this moment, Serpent Spear Douluo had no intention of recruiting Gu Yue. What a joke! A sect has at least two titled masters, and both are at least Super Douluo. Unless Xue Qinghe reveals his true identity, it would be a pipe dream to recruit him with the title of the First Prince of Heaven Dou.

P.S.: Leave the Star Dou Great Forest immediately and return to Heaven Dou City.

Chapter 113 Di Tian's Apology, the Elder of Tian Dou City

Serpent Spear Douluo nodded, but it was unclear whether he believed Bi Ji's explanation.

He turned to look at Gu Yue, "Welcome to the Heavenly Dou Prince's Residence."

"Yes, senior."

Gu Yue agreed without hesitation.

Seeing that Gu Yue agreed, Serpent Spear Douluo faced Bi Ji again and clasped his hands: "Then, senior, we'll be leaving now, without disturbing you any longer."

Serpent Spear Douluo didn't feel embarrassed at all about calling a woman who was clearly younger than him a senior.

He looks young on the surface, but it's hard to say how old he is in reality. After all, he is a Title Douluo with healing abilities, so it's not surprising that he has some special means to maintain his youth.

"Wait a moment."

Just as the Serpent Spear Douluo was about to pick up Tang Shan and leave, Bi Ji's words stopped him in his tracks. His body stiffened, and he had an impulse to turn around and run away without a care in the world. However, he had already seen the other party's previous methods, which were far beyond what a mere level 91 Title Douluo like him could withstand.

Helpless, he turned around again and looked at Brigitte: "Senior, is there anything else you would like to instruct me on?"

Biji was also a little embarrassed. She could clearly sense the strong sense of vigilance emanating from the human titled Douluo in front of her. Look how frightened Di Tian had been to this human.

"Ahem, well, we have another gift for you, as an apology for startling you earlier."

Serpent Spear Douluo wanted to say that he didn't need gifts and that he should just let them go, but before he could refuse, a spatial ripple appeared around him.

The Beast God Di Tian, ​​with his long black hair hanging down his back, appeared quietly.

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from him, Serpent Spear Douluo instinctively tried to pull Tang Shan away again, but they were imprisoned by an invisible spatial force.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I just want you to put your things away safely."

Di Tian's words lacked Bi Ji's gentleness; they were merely flat.

"I've seen how well you've taken care of the younger generation in my family, and considering the shock you experienced earlier, I'll take this as an apology."

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Tian casually tossed a soul bone radiating a strong soul power to Serpent Spear Douluo.

The Serpent Spear Douluo, who was about to refuse, suddenly widened his eyes. What a grand gesture! Judging from the fluctuations in soul power, this was a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone.

"This right arm bone comes from an 18,000-year-old deep-sea venomous anaconda. Your martial soul seems to be related to snakes, so it couldn't be more suitable."

Di Tian introduced it in a calm tone.

"Senior, this..."

Serpent Spear Douluo didn't know how to start the conversation, but Di Tian interrupted him.

"Alright, we'll meet again sometime. I'm off now."

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Yue with a questioning gaze. Seeing that Gu Yue nodded almost imperceptibly, he then tore open a pitch-black passage.

Goodbye, Tangshan.

With one arm around the auspicious beast and the other beckoning to Tang Shan, Gu Yue took the lead in stepping into the spatial passage.

After that, Di Tian and Bi Ji followed her into the passage.

As the passage gradually closed, Serpent Spear Douluo finally relaxed completely, large drops of sweat pouring from his body, as if he had just gone through a fierce battle.

Throughout the entire process, Tang Shan remained silent, only waving goodbye when Gu Yue bid him farewell. Otherwise, he acted as if he were invisible.

"Senior, are you alright?" Tang Shan stepped forward to ask after seeing Gu Yue and the others leave, the Serpent Spear Douluo was drenched in sweat. It wasn't that he was standing idly by, but facing Di Tian, ​​he could only hope that Gu Yue would play a role. As a Great Soul Master who had just broken through to the second ring, he really couldn't help much in other aspects.

"It's nothing. I just encountered a top expert and felt his terrifying aura, that's why I'm like this."

Serpent Spear Douluo offered an explanation but didn't reveal the truth. The middle-aged man he had just encountered seemed to surpass even the Second Elder. While this might be due to the man not concealing his power, while Golden Crocodile Douluo had to, it at least proved that the man had reached level ninety-seven, not far from the peak level ninety-eight Douluo.

It's impossible for such a terrifyingly powerful figure not to have ordinary Title Douluos following him.

The events in the Star Dou Great Forest must be reported to the young master and the Hall of Worship. It turns out that such a terrifying force is hidden on the Douluo Continent, and it is very likely to become a threat to the Spirit Hall's grand plan.

If Tang Shan knew the Serpent Spear Douluo's assessment of Di Tian's strength, he would definitely say: "Senior, you may be mistaken. With Di Tian's current strength in the Douluo Continent, unless those two high priests spare no effort in using their faith power and go all out, even if they join forces, they may not be a match for Di Tian."

After all, the difference between having a soul core and not having one is huge. One has higher quality soul power and a faster recovery speed, while the other needs to rest after only a few attacks. The difference is very obvious.

Not to mention that Di Tian himself possesses the bloodline of a Dragon King, as well as the trump card of the Dragon God Claw.
