The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was a Heaven And Earth Treasure basin formed by the intertwined energies remaining in the bones of the Water Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, two God King-level existences, after their demise.
Extreme heat and extreme cold merged here, creating a unique environment where plants could grow at ten times their normal speed.
It was precisely because of this exceptionally unique environment that countless Immortal Herbs and Heaven And Earth Treasures were nurtured.
He was very interested in the residual Spirit Bones of the two Dragon Kings, the possible lingering remnant souls within them, and the two potentially remaining God Positions of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, which were at the God King level.
Unfortunately, with his current strength and foundation, taking all of these away would be too strenuous and could easily lead to trouble.
To be cautious, he would not delve deep into them for now.
Moreover, the items were there and wouldn't run away, so there was no need to rush too much.
However, while there was no need to rush about the Legacy of the two Dragon Kings, the countless Immortal Herbs nurtured within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were genuinely valuable resources that he absolutely had to acquire!
These were all Heaven And Earth Treasures that could be directly used by him or to cultivate talent.
Besides this, the unique environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was also an excellent place to cultivate various plant-type spirit ring materials and special medicinal herbs.
With these many reasons combined, he was determined to obtain the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Coincidentally, not long ago, personnel dispatched by the merchant guild had already roughly located the poisonous miasma outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
And at this moment, Snow Empress was also by her side.
His thoughts collected, he suddenly turned his head, his gaze falling on Snow Empress, who had been standing quietly beside him, her lips slightly pursed as if deep in thought.
At the same time, seemingly sensing his gaze, Snow Empress raised her eyes and looked at him, "What's wrong?"
"What do you want to do next?" Kong Ming'an asked with a smile.
Snow Empress pondered for a moment, then spoke: "Test me."
"..."
Why did that sound so strange?
Kong Ming'an naturally understood that Snow Empress wanted to complete the daily routine observation of her energy body structure, but looking at the somewhat clear eyes on Snow Empress's beautiful face, he was at a loss for words.
After a moment, he suppressed the strangeness in his heart, gently shook his head, and softened his tone slightly:
"The Body Sect matter is temporarily concluded. This period of time is relatively free, so... would you like to go for a walk together?"
This was an invitation.
Facing the sudden invitation, Snow Empress was visibly stunned, a faint ripple, so subtle that even she herself didn't notice it, flickered in her cold eyes.
A hint of confusion flashed in her eyes; she didn't quite understand the meaning of Kong Ming'an's suggestion at this moment.
Compared to the so-called "going for a walk together," she actually hoped that Kong Ming'an would test her more.
The contract between the young man and her could be considered lenient; even the physical structure observations, which should have been obligatory, were assigned a value.
Each time she was tested, her accumulated "value" would increase, bringing her closer to the goal she desired.
Her consciousness tried to ask a question, yet, before her consciousness could react to her body, her body had already subconsciously, imperceptibly, nodded, and then, her lips parted slightly,
"Okay."
She instinctively agreed.
She agreed so naturally, without even realizing it herself.
Snow Empress's eyes flickered, realizing something.
Her body seemed to be more honest than she had imagined... On the other side.
Clear Sky Sect, a place deep in the clouds, where its exact location was unknown.
At this moment, inside the Sect Master's Pavilion, which was originally only accessible to the two Sect Masters, several figures were divided into two factions, sitting opposite each other, their eyes filled with wariness towards the other party.
"Tang Mo, do you know what you are doing?"
An old man with white hair and beard but a resolute face was the first to speak, his eyes fixed on the middle-aged man leading the other group, his gaze full of authority.
"Heh... Of course, I know what I'm doing!" The middle-aged man named Tang Mo stood up, his nine spirit rings appearing in sequence around him, an Aura far exceeding that of an ordinary Titled Douluo pressing down, clearly revealing his cultivation as a Level 95 Super Douluo!
"Grand Elder, you are my senior, and I respect you, but that is no reason for you to be so unreasonable!
"Now the Clear Sky Sect is leaderless, and its subordinate merchant guild has been forced to dismantle due to suppression from other merchant guilds! Yes, the Clear Sky Sect's foundation is strong, and these losses are nothing.
"But... the Clear Sky Sect has thousands of Disciples and tens of thousands of external members. Are we just going to keep supporting them? Are we going to keep living off our past gains?
"Grand Elder, I am saving the Clear Sky Sect, do you understand!"
Tang Mo's voice was deafening, echoing through the Sect Master's Pavilion, reaching everyone's ears.
The Grand Elder's expression was somewhat displeased, but in the next moment, he slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his nine spirit rings appearing, and his equally Level 95 strength pressed down.
Staring at Tang Mo, he gritted his teeth and said:
"If the First Sect Master and Second Sect Master knew of your reckless actions..."
"The First Sect Master and Second Sect Master are already dead!"
Tang Mo abruptly interrupted the Grand Elder's words, his Aura surging again, forcefully suppressing the old man's pressure!
"Grand Elder, what dream are you still having? In the ancestral hall, the spirit lamps of the First Sect Master and Second Sect Master have long been extinguished. They are already dead, so what could they know?"
Tang Mo's eyes changed slightly, as if the terrifying scene he had witnessed that day reappeared before him.
The Aura of sanctity and death covered the sky and earth... A savage and pure power pressed down... The two Sect Masters he had once held in such awe were utterly suppressed under such an attack, their Qi flickering like candles in the wind, with no hope of survival visible... He took a deep breath, banished those images from his mind, forced himself to calm down, and then continued:
"I witnessed that day's events with my own eyes. The death of the First Sect Master and Second Sect Master is a foregone conclusion. Now you shouldn't be talking to me about orders!
"The current predicament of our Clear Sky Sect must be related to the actions of the First Sect Master and Second Sect Master, otherwise, why would so many merchant guilds target us without reason?
"Now they have only abolished our subordinate merchant guild. If those two powerful individuals from back then were to descend upon the Clear Sky Sect, what would we do then!
"Grand Elder, what we should do now is find a way to ensure the Clear Sky Sect survives!"
"..."
Everyone fell silent, and even the Grand Elder, who had just led the rebuttal, was at a loss for words.
After all, Tang Mo's words just now were not exaggerated; in fact, they were all reality.
The First Sect Master and Second Sect Master, who were most likely dead, the enemies who might have already started attacking them, and those unknown powerful individuals... The Clear Sky Sect, which had remained safe for tens of thousands of years, was now plunged into a crisis called "annihilation."
Inside the Sect Master's Pavilion, the atmosphere fell into a deathly silence.
No one noticed... or perhaps there was no need to notice, behind a pillar inside the pavilion, a young girl's tears uncontrollably streamed down her cheeks, her voice choked and intermittent,
"Big Daddy... Second Daddy..."
Her blue-pink eyes were filled with tears, but the girl forced herself to wipe them away, gritting her teeth and trying her best to swallow her sorrow.
"Sun Moon Empire..."
She whispered, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes. Without hesitation, she stood up and ran out of the Sect Master's Pavilion.
At the same time, in a secret chamber of the Sect Master's Pavilion, a blue-golden ball of light trembled slightly and disappeared within the chamber.
And simultaneously, on another peak of the Clear Sky Sect, where many Clear Sky Sect Disciples resided, a Clear Sky Sect Disciple named "Tang Shan" suddenly opened his eyes.
