The voice echoing in the Mountain Hollow was erratic, and even with Dugu Bo's vigilant exploration of the surroundings, he couldn't pinpoint its source.
Moreover, this familiar voice stirred Dugu Bo's memories.
He remembered this voice vividly. Although Quan Yi's voice had lost some of its childishness compared to a few years ago, he recognized it as the voice of that little devil from back then.
His expression immediately turned strange, a hint of a smile tugging at his stiff face.
In a mocking tone, he shouted, "The fish that slipped through the net and was lucky enough to escape from my grasp back then dares to walk right into the trap?
What, did you bring some helpers with you today?"
What Dugu Bo was most wary of was the potentially powerful background behind Quan Yi.
To this end, Dugu Bo had strengthened the intensity of the Outer Poison Array in recent years.
He even used the poisonous plants around the Spring Water to increase the toxicity of the Poison Array.
After his enhancements, anyone who stepped into the Poison Array without reaching the Titled Douluo realm in Soul Power would undoubtedly die.
Even if their Soul Power reached the Titled Douluo realm, they would still suffer a decline in condition from the fierce toxins invading their body if they carelessly stepped into it.
Quan Yi heard the probing intent in Dugu Bo's words, and immediately replied, "Senior, there's no need to worry, it's just the two of us here.
Today, I've come to negotiate with you."
"Negotiate? You dare to negotiate with me alone. Boy, I advise you not to be too arrogant."
Dugu Bo laughed in anger. From Quan Yi's tone, he could hear genuine emotion.
However, it was this sense of sincerity that offended Dugu Bo's dignity as a Titled Douluo.
Quan Yi replied calmly, "Since I dare to come alone, it means I have enough confidence."
Dugu Bo couldn't help but be greatly shocked by Quan Yi's confident tone.
If it were anyone else, Dugu Bo would only think they were spouting nonsense.
However, Quan Yi had once escaped from under his nose. In the process, he hadn't even seen the other party's name, appearance, Soul Power level, or even Martial Soul.
Being able to do this was enough to show that the other party was not a simple character.
Since such a person dared to come alone, it meant he was prepared.
Dugu Bo quickly calmed the agitation in his heart and replied calmly, "Since you have confidence, why not reveal your true form and let me see your real face?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Space fell into an eerie silence.
Dugu Bo waited for Quan Yi's reaction.
Just when he thought Quan Yi would refuse, a red Fire Star lit up in front of him.
Immediately afterward, Quan Yi's voice came from the direction of the Fire Star.
"Alright, I accept your request."
Quan Yi then dispelled the Fire Spirit Body, and the Fire Star quickly changed from a spherical shape to a human form.
Immediately following, sparks flew, revealing Quan Yi's body.
Dugu Bo's gaze sharpened, as a stalwart and mighty man appeared in his field of vision.
The terrifying physique that could not be concealed by clothing, and the terrifying aura comparable to a giant dragon, made Dugu Bo feel a strong sense of crisis.
All of his senses were strongly warning him that the person in front of him was an extremely dangerous individual.
Dugu Bo quickly entered a battle-ready state, and as long as the other party made the slightest move, he would launch a thunderous strike.
Just as the scene entered a touch-and-go dangerous situation, an unexpected thing happened.
The Nine-Section Emerald coiled on Dugu Bo's shoulder shot towards Quan Yi.
The sudden action of the Nine-Section Emerald caused Dugu Bo to fall into a brief moment of confusion.
By the time he reacted and wanted to stop the Nine-Section Emerald, it had already flown in front of Quan Yi.
In this emergency situation, Dugu Bo, in his anxiety, quickly shouted at Quan Yi, "Be careful!"
Dugu Bo never thought he would make such a move, but, in the next instant, the Nine-Section Emerald actually jumped onto Quan Yi's shoulder.
Dugu Bo saw the Nine-Section Emerald affectionately nuzzling Quan Yi, and his brain went into a state of shutdown.
Quan Yi also did not anticipate the sudden action of the Nine-Section Emerald.
After all, at that time, he only asked the Nine-Section Emerald to call Dugu Bo over, and he had not arranged anything else.
However, what surprised Quan Yi even more than that was Dugu Bo's reaction just now.
Those were clearly words reminding him.
The corners of Quan Yi's mouth curved up, and he smiled, "It seems that Senior still has a certain amount of goodwill towards me."
Dugu Bo's face was slightly red at this time, and the awkward emotion made him feel like he had lost face.
He said in exasperation, "Who has goodwill towards you?"
The actions of the Nine-Section Emerald, although unexpected, broke the rigid atmosphere.
It prevented the two from falling into a tense state again.
Dugu Bo's Emerald Green Pupils quickly swept over Quan Yi, and he was startled by Quan Yi's youthful face.
He glanced at Quan Yi and exclaimed, "Gauntlets Martial Soul, you are from the Iron Fist Family."
Dugu Bo lived in Heaven Dou City and had heard a little about the Iron Fist Family.
At the same time, he also knew that the Gauntlets Martial Soul was a Martial Soul unique to the direct members of the Quan Family.
Therefore, after seeing the Gauntlets, he naturally thought of the Quan Family.
Quan Yi said, "In that case, I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Quan Yi. Today, I am here with sincerity to negotiate with Senior."
Dugu Bo's brain went into a state of confusion.
As far as he knew, only Quan Li and Quan Yue in the Quan Family possessed the Gauntlets Martial Soul.
Looking at Quan Yi's youthful face, a surprising guess emerged in his heart.
He asked, "Are you Quan Yue's son?"
Quan Yi nodded and replied, "Yes."
Quan Yi's answer caused Dugu Bo to be unable to stop the shock in his heart.
Quan Yue was of the same generation as his son, which meant that Quan Yi was of the same generation as his granddaughter.
"What a little monster!" Dugu Bo exclaimed inwardly.
After the atmosphere eased, Dugu Bo asked in annoyance, "When did you subvert the Nine-Section Emerald?"
Quan Yi lightly tapped the green snake with his finger and said, "So it's called Nine-Section Emerald."
"Subvert? It's more like obeying the instinct of beasts. It sensed my powerful strength, and that's why it chose to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, throwing itself into my embrace."
Dugu Bo's forehead bulged with veins, Quan Yi's words stirring up angry emotions.
However, Dugu Bo still forcibly suppressed his anger and said, "Hmph, little robber, while I'm in a good mood, quickly tell me the content of the negotiation."
Although his words were strong, Dugu Bo felt a sense of anxiety in his heart.
Time was passing little by little, and there wasn't much time left before his attack.
He originally thought it was something he could easily deal with, but now the situation was gradually getting out of his control.
Quan Yi's strength was beyond his expectations.
Moreover, what gave him the biggest headache was that Quan Yi had chosen a location that was too unfavorable to him.
Not only was there the Medicine Garden here, but also that terrifying Spring Water.
The importance of this Space to him was self-evident.
And now, Quan Yi's choice to appear here was to seize his weakness, making him dare not act rashly.
Therefore, he felt a headache and found Quan Yi troublesome.
This was no ordinary opponent, and Dugu Bo was gradually elevating Quan Yi's position in his heart to a level similar to his own.
