The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

Nan Shuishui nodded to herself.

Nan Qiuqiu, who had returned to her room excitedly, was completely unaware that she had suffered an unwarranted disaster for no reason.

Putting aside her thoughts, Nan Shuishui looked at Xu Zihuang again and asked softly.

"Tianhuang, after you came to Dragon City, did you go back and visit him?"

"Aunt Nan, are you referring to the Heavenly Dragon Sect?" Xu Zihuang asked calmly.

Nan Shuishui nodded slowly and sighed wistfully.

“I’ve known Old Tianlong for decades. Although the rules within the Tianlong Sect are strict, Old Tianlong isn’t entirely heartless.”

She said these words because she acknowledged Yu Tianhuang and regarded him as a close junior.

If possible, she still hoped that Yu Tianhuang could have a legitimate identity.

"Actually, Sister Gu Yi and I went to Tianlongmen before, but no one was willing to see us." Xu Zihuang smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Then why demean yourself?"

Nan Shuishui opened her mouth, but as an outsider, she really couldn't say anything more. She could only sigh sincerely.

“If Qing’er were still in the Tianlong Sect, you probably wouldn’t have suffered so much injustice all these years.”

"Qing'er?" Ye Guyi's gaze sharpened, and her hands clenched unconsciously.

Although Xu Zihuang's reaction was not as strong as Ye Guyi's, his gaze also involuntarily fell on Nan Shuishui.

Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Nan Shuishui's eyes showed a look of reminiscence as she softly explained.

"Qing'er's full name is Yu Qing'er, and she is the younger sister of the old Tianlong. Speaking of which, she is also your aunt, Tianhuang. Qing'er and I were very close sisters back then, so I know a lot about the Tianlong Sect. However, Qing'er left Dragon City nineteen years ago."

Ye Guyi quickly pressed on, "Aunt Nan, could you tell me in detail about Qing— about Aunt Tianhuang?"

Ye Guyi was very emotional, but Nan Shuishui didn't think much of it.

In her view, given the relationship between Ye Guyi and Yu Tianhuang, it was normal for her to care about Yu Qing'er.

Nan Shuishui smiled slightly.

"Then let me start from the beginning."

“I’m two years older than Qing’er. But we can say we grew up together. Back then, my father was still alive, and like Qing’er’s father, he was a Title Douluo-level powerhouse. The Earth Dragon Sect was much stronger than when I was in charge; it was a truly powerful sect on par with the Heavenly Dragon Sect.” As she said this, a hint of bitterness and shame appeared in Nan Shui Shui’s bright pink eyes. Her father had placed high hopes on her, but she still hadn’t been able to break through to the Title Douluo realm and lead the Earth Dragon Sect to prosperity again.

"You all know that the Heavenly Dragon Gate and the Earthly Dragon Gate occupy the south and north of Dragon City respectively. Although our two major sects often compete, our relationship has always been relatively harmonious. When we were children, Qing'er and I often met in Dragon City. We shared similar interests and naturally became close friends who could talk about anything."

"Qing'er's talent for cultivation is even better than mine. Although she is two years younger than me, our soul power cultivation has always been similar. We often cultivate together, go out to train together, and make progress together..."

Nan Shuishui was lost in her memories, talking to herself.

Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi listened intently, their hands clasped together under the table. Their slightly trembling hands revealed that their inner turmoil was not as calm as it appeared.

The three of them stopped talking at dusk until nightfall.

The soft, guiding light illuminated the spacious backyard, which was surrounded by brightly colored, rare flowers, their fragrance filling the air.

A sumptuous feast was laid out on the stone table in the center of the backyard, steaming hot.

Nan Shuishui smiled and stood up, gesturing for Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi to take their seats.

"Tianhuang, Guyi, come and eat. It's just a simple family meal, don't be shy."

Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi exchanged a glance and followed behind Nan Shuishui.

Xu Zihuang, Ye Guyi, Nan Shuishui, and Nan Qiuqiu, who was invited by Nan Shuishui, had dinner together. The conversation shifted to more lighthearted topics, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

During this time, Nan Qiuqiu ate her meal silently. Although she still looked at Xu Zihuang with some wariness, she no longer had the strong reaction she had at the beginning.

Afterwards, Nan Shuishui personally escorted Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi to the gate of the Earth Dragon Gate, accompanied by Nan Qiuqiu.

After exchanging pleasantries, the four parted ways.

Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi strolled hand in hand along the bustling streets of Longcheng.

Ye Guyi sighed, "I never imagined that Aunt Nan and Aunt Qing had such a relationship."

At the crossroads, Xu Zihuang stopped and managed a weak smile.

"This must be fate. Sister Lingyi, didn't you also become friends with Nan Qiuqiu? The friendship of the previous generation has been passed down to our generation."

"Zihuang," Ye Guyi murmured softly, her face showing concern.

"I am fine."

Xu Zihuang put his arm around Ye Guyi's slender waist, then his smile vanished, and his eyes were filled with a murderous intent.

"Alright, let's go back. Get some rest. Tomorrow we'll prepare to enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

It's time to rekindle our bond with those 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beasts in the Yin-Yang Well.

At the same time, he also withdrew his outward mental energy. To be on the safe side, Xu Zihuang would always release his mental energy to sense the surrounding situation whenever the two talked in private.

A night passed.

The next morning, Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi left the city early.

The wings of the flying soul tool unfurled behind the two, and two dazzling streaks of light streaked across the sky as they flew southwest.

Sunset Forest is near Tiandou City, the capital of the Tianhun Empire, which is located in the north-central part of the empire, not too far from Dragon City. At Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi's flying speed, the outline of Tiandou City came into view in less than two hours.

Since the advent of flying soul tools, countries have tightened their control over the airspace, especially over cities.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi deliberately avoided Tiandou City.

After flying at full speed for nearly fifteen minutes, a large forest in the distance gradually came into view.

This is their destination: Sunset Forest.

The two landed on a hill with a wide view outside Sunset Forest.

"Sister Lingyi, why don't you rest for a while?"

Because of the presence of the spiritual attribute soul core, Xu Zihuang's soul power remained at its peak throughout the journey. Although Ye Guyi's soul power level was higher than Xu Zihuang's, her soul power foundation was much weaker, and without the assistance of a soul core, she had consumed a considerable amount of her soul power.

The quality of the soul beasts in Sunset Forest was even lower than that of the mixed zone in Star Dou Great Forest, so Xu Zihuang naturally didn't care about that. The main reason he let Ye Guyi recover her soul power was to better deal with the 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beasts in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Even though he has many trump cards, it's always good to be cautious.

"Hmm." Ye Guyi responded, then sat down cross-legged and entered a meditative state.

Xu Zihuang stood beside Ye Guyi, looking up at the Sunset Forest not far away, and smiled wryly.

Five years later, he returned to Sunset Forest, his strength now many times greater than before. This time, the roles were reversed.

Half an hour later, Ye Guyi opened her radiant golden eyes. Drawn by the energy, Xu Zihuang subconsciously looked at Ye Guyi.

Ye Guyi nodded slightly.

"Let's go, Zihuang."

The two took to the air and continued to fly deeper into the Sunset Forest using their flying soul tool.

……

This is a small valley, and the sky above it displays a strange array of seven colors.

The entire valley was filled with a rich life force, nurturing countless plants of various colors, laden with abundant fruit, radiating a precious glow. Clearly, they were all rare and exceptional natural treasures.

Most astonishingly, at the heart of these plants lies a lake with distinctly contrasting colors. One side of the lake is icy white, while the other is fiery red. A halo of light flows and merges between them. It's truly extraordinary.

This is a treasure trove, the eye of both ice and fire.

Many of those rare and precious materials evolved into plant-type soul beasts, thus developing sentience. These plant-type soul beasts swayed slightly, their bodies shimmering with light. They seemed to be communicating.

In the center of the red lake, a plant, entirely fiery red, distorted the light emanating from its surface, and an intensely scorching aura instantly swept over.

This plant is very tall, nearly ten feet high, and resembles a cabbage, as if it were carved from a ruby.

Ten thousand years of raging fire, the apricot blossoms are delicate and sparse.

Liehuo Xingjiao's spirited voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Xiangxiang, did you wake everyone up this time for that human again?"

Despite her dissatisfaction, she was still quite wary of Xu Zihuang. After all, Xu Zihuang's displayed talent was too astonishing, and the white whale she possessed could even mobilize the dragon souls of two dragon lords.

Therefore, after Xu Zihuang left, these immortal herbs with 100,000 years of cultivation discussed and prepared countermeasures. Even if they couldn't contend with the dragon souls of the two dragon lords, they could at least force that human to retreat.

A golden tulip unfurled its vine-covered stems and leaves; it was none other than the Qiluo Tulip, a plant with a cultivation of ten thousand years.

Qiluo Tulip said in a deep voice, "I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling about this today."

"Xiangxiang, I'm easily frightened, don't scare me!" A large, pale pink flower trembled slightly and said timidly.

She was the first person, Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin, to have contact with Xu Zihuang.

"The last time you had this feeling, our Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was almost destroyed. We only managed to survive because we relied on the special features of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to suppress that guy's intelligence."

The fragrant and elegant fairy-like woman remains as talkative as ever.

"If you ask me, we should have dealt with that guy sooner. Otherwise, we might be in danger before that human even gets here."

In the center of the white lake, opposite the Fiery Apricot Blossom, a herb that resembled a large white flower swayed slightly. This herb was similar in shape to the Fiery Apricot Blossom, octagonal in form. Its center shimmered like ice crystals, releasing no fragrance. A 100,000-year-old Octagonal Mystic Ice Grass.

"Youyou, but that guy is our only way to deal with him." The icy voice of the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass rang out.

“Among us plant-type soul beasts with 100,000 years of cultivation, you and Xiangxiang are not good at fighting, but Ajiao and I are greatly suppressed by the dragon souls of the two dragon lords. Even if we join forces with others, our combat power will be limited.”

What these plant-type soul beasts, with their 100,000-year cultivation, were unaware of was the deep resentment and anger they harbored towards them from a hidden will deep underground.

At that very moment, Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi descended from the sky.

The two, who had concealed their presence, released their martial spirits just before landing.

With angelic wings flapping behind him and bathed in a holy golden light, Ye Guyi was imposing, but his soul ring configuration was still the standard two yellow, two purple, and two black.

The moment Xu Zihuang's first spirit ring appeared, it brought an extremely oppressive aura.

Black! Black! Black! Black! Black! Red!

Six spirit rings rose in succession, pulsating slowly around Xu Zihuang. The light of the blood-red 100,000-year spirit rings reflected on Xu Zihuang's face, and his gentle smile, as warm as a spring breeze, sent chills down the spines of the plant-type spirit beasts present.

"Oh."
