Chapter 64 Sunset Forest
After Xue Xing left, Dugu Bo took Shen Feng and Dugu Yan out of the city smoothly.

Heading towards the Sunset Forest, there were no more obstacles along the way. Even the vague sight that Dugu Yan had sensed before had disappeared.

At the same time, in Tiandou City, in the Prince's Mansion.

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, sat cross-legged on a cushion, fiddling with the tea set on the low table in front of her with a focused look.

Opposite him, sitting cross-legged was a tall and thin middle-aged man with his upper body as straight as a javelin.

"Young Master, Xue Xing met Dugu Bo on the street. The two had a pleasant conversation and she brought a gift for her granddaughter. It was a new firearm soul guide that the Barak Kingdom offered as a gift last time."

"Dugu Yan happily accepted the gift, but Dugu Bo once again rejected Xue Xing's solicitation."

"After Xue Xing left, Dugu Bo also took his granddaughter Dugu Yan and the young man named Shen Feng to the Sunset Forest."

Qian Renxue shook her head in disdain, slowly poured tea into the two teacups in front of her, and pushed one of the cups in front of the big man.

"Uncle Shelong, please have some tea."

Picking up the teacup to moisten her lips, Qian Renxue said with a deep gaze, "It's just the sorrow of the weak. My cheap uncle doesn't seem to understand that even if you win over more sheep, you can't compete with the tigers and leopards in the flock."

"Dugu Bo is unwilling to participate in the royal family struggle. He knows himself well."

"The Heaven Dou Empire does not have its own Titled Douluo. If Dugu Bo dares to participate in the fight for the throne, the old fellow Xue Ye will be the first one who will not let him go."

"What about the kid named Shen Feng? Is there anything abnormal about him?"

She Long pondered and said, "After Xue Xing left, he also gave Dugu Yan a pistol soul guide. It is slightly larger than the one offered by the Barak Kingdom, so I think it will be more powerful."

Qian Renxue's lips curled up slightly: "It seems that this boy is most likely the one Dugu Bo brought back from the Barak Kingdom. Send someone to the Barak Kingdom to secretly investigate his identity."

"Remember, focus on the secret investigation and don't do anything else for the time being."

She Long nodded: "Then the action against the avalanche."

Qian Renxue thought for a moment and said, "Cancel the operation. Dugu Bo is a master of poison. It would be bad if he finds out."

"I have been lurking for this for 11 years and have paid a lot. I must make sure that nothing goes wrong."

"Three of Xue Ye's four sons have died. The surviving Xue Beng was so frightened that he disguised himself as a playboy and relied on Xue Xing to travel around and win over helpers to barely save his life."

"Keeping him alive will also give Xue Ye something to think about, reduce the suspicion on me, and also distract a large part of that old man Xue Xing's attention. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages."

"The situation is very good now. We just need to proceed step by step and we can easily complete our plan to steal the country. There is really no need to create any more complications."

She Long nodded: "Yes, I understand."

"Young Master, do you have any other instructions? If there is nothing else, I will go to the Kingdom of Barak myself to investigate the young man."

Qian Renxue thought for a moment and shook her head slightly: "No more, Uncle Shelong, please come back soon."

"Remember, focus on the investigation and don't do anything else."

She Long bowed and said, "Yes, I will remember it."

After She Long left, Qian Renxue picked up the cold tea on the table and looked at the swaying reflection of the man in the teacup. Her eyes unconsciously became blurred.

"Qian Renxue, ah Qian Renxue, after 11 years of disguise, do you still remember who you are?"

"Shen Feng? What a lovely little brother. I hope you won't block my way. Otherwise, I can only regret your talent in my heart."

At noon, Dugu Bo led Shen Feng and Dugu Yan into the Sunset Forest. Coming to the Sunset Forest for the first time, Shen Feng discovered that in addition to the large area, there were many other differences between this place and the Star Dou Great Forest.

First of all, the Xingdou Great Forest spans the two empires of Xingluo and Tiandou, is located in the central area of ​​the continent, belongs to the tropical area, and most of the forest is dominated by dense tropical plants.

In the heart of the Tiandou Empire deep in the Sunset Forest, the northern part of the continent, although not yet considered a frigid zone, the temperature is much lower than that of the Star Dou Great Forest. This has resulted in the plants here being mostly temperate plants unique to the north.

Tropical plants feel more dense and humid, while temperate plants feel dry and fresh, and the density of plants is not as dense as tropical plants.

Therefore, traveling through the Sunset Forest is much easier than traveling through the Star Forest.

Following Dugu Bo through the Sunset Forest, the soul beasts were intimidated by Dugu Bo's aura as a Titled Douluo and retreated one after another. Apart from rushing on the journey, nothing unexpected happened along the way.

It was not until the moon rose above the branches that the three finally reached their destination.

A huge poisonous formation filled with purple-black mist blocked the three people's way.

Dugu Bo stopped and said, "We are here. This is my retreat."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo took out two pills from his storage soul guide and gave them to Shen Feng and Dugu Yan.

"The purple-black mist outside is a poison formation I set up. Even if a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast comes here, it dare not cross the line. As long as the soul master does not have a soul power of level 70 or above, anyone who enters will die."

"This pill is an antidote. Each pill can make you immune to the poison array for an hour. You two should take it now. Wait for a quarter of an hour for the effect of the pill to take effect before we go in."

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Feng followed Dugu Bo through a nearly 300-meter-long poison barrier area. A dense forest surrounding a steep mountain about 500 meters high stood before him.

"Grandpa, is this mountain your retreat? This is the first time you've brought me here in all these years."

Hearing Dugu Yan's slightly complaining words, Dugu Bo smiled and said, "It's not that I don't want to bring you here, but this place is not as safe as you think."

"Forget it, you two come with me. Once we get there, you'll naturally understand what's going on."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo stepped lightly and climbed up the cliff in a straight line as if he was walking on flat ground.

His steps seemed slow, but each step was ten meters away, and the distance between each step was extremely even. The whole process of climbing was like he was ascending vertically.

Dugu Yan glanced at Shen Feng and said, "Compare? Let me also see what the peerless genius that grandpa boasts about is capable of?"

Shen Feng shrugged: "Sister Yanyan, please go first."

Dugu Yan was not humble either. He snorted lightly, gathered his spiritual power and rushed towards the mountain in front.

The cliff is steep, and Dugu Yan not only has to concentrate fully when climbing, but also has to use the protruding points of the rocks to gain leverage.

As the protruding points of the rocks were different, she naturally had to jump left and right on the cliff and adjust her body shape at any time.

During the entire climbing process, although the speed was not slow, the climbing posture of jumping left and right was not that good-looking. It can only be said that it was not much different from a monkey.

Shen Feng smiled slightly, gathered his soul power at the soles of his feet, and used tree-climbing skills to make his body almost perpendicular to the mountain. He rushed straight to the top of the mountain like an arrow.

A strong wind blew, and Shen Feng and Dugu Yan passed each other.

Dugu Yan was startled and looked as if she had seen a ghost: "You, you, you..."

Shen Feng turned around and chuckled: "Sister Yanyan, I'm leaving first. See you on the top of the mountain."

"Bye~"
