At some unknown point in time, the number of Wolf Bandits in the Heaven Dou Empire had significantly decreased.
The terrain of the Heaven Dou Empire consisted of central and western plains. Rivers flowed from east to west, nurturing fertile soil—this was the region where Heaven Dou City and several core provinces were located.
In the southern areas bordering the Spirit Hall and Star Luo Empire, aside from a few provinces connected by plains, most of the border was separated by mountain ranges, the Star Dou Great Forest, and swamps, isolating these two powers.
To the northwest, north, and east lay endless mountain ranges, blocking the frost from the bitterly cold northern lands.
These Wolf Bandits typically hunted from north to south. Each hunting expedition could massacre multiple villages, taking the men as food and the women as breeding tools.
But gradually, the border regions of the Heaven Dou Empire experienced fewer and fewer raids from the Wolf Bandits.
Finally, some bold Soul Masters ventured into the border mountains to investigate.
To their astonishment, they discovered that the areas once hiding Wolf Bandits had become barren wastelands.
By chance, they found an inscription on a massive rock:
"Poison Demon King and Glazed Goddess enact heaven's will!"
The news quickly spread—it seemed the Wolf Bandits had been eradicated!
Gradually, traces of the Poison Demon King and Glazed Goddess appeared throughout the northern borders of the Douluo Continent.
Both the common people and the border defense forces were utterly shocked. In just over a year, these two powerful figures, known as the Poison Demon King and the Glazed Goddess, had swept through the Wolf Bandits' lairs from east to west and back again.
Not a single survivor was left!
It was as if a celestial couple had descended from the heavens to enact justice!
The legendary tale continued to spread far and wide.
The one who left these inscriptions was none other than Ning Rongrong, who aspired to make a name for herself across the continent.
"Feng Xiaotian, we should include you, just like Dean Flender, and form a Golden Iron Triangle! Brother Feng would be the Slaughter Angle, I'd be the Support Angle, and you'd be the Flight Angle!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed one day after the three of them had destroyed the last Wolf Bandit lair.
Feng Xiaotian laughed. "Don't include me. The title of 'celestial couple' suits you two perfectly. Besides, the credit for destroying the Wolf Bandits belongs mainly to Brother Dugu. I only provided some assistance."
He spoke the truth—the number of Wolf Bandits he had killed was less than a tenth of Dugu Feng's tally. The difference in their efficiency was like night and day.
"Hehe, 'celestial couple' does sound nice!" Ning Rongrong said cheerfully.
She thought that once their true identities were revealed in the future, it would surely astonish the world.
The three of them rode on two Emerald Dragon Snakes, soaring through the sky.
Dugu Feng remarked, "As long as Gale Demon Wolves exist, the emergence of Wolf Bandits can never be completely eradicated. After our cleanup, the threat of Wolf Bandits won't reappear for at least several years."
Over the past year, they had eliminated all known Wolf Bandit tribes.
During this time, both Ning Rongrong and Feng Xiaotian had obtained their Fifth Soul Rings and advanced to the Soul King rank.
Dugu Feng had also cultivated to level 56.
"Brother Feng, what should we do next?" Ning Rongrong leaned against Dugu Feng's shoulder, her face brimming with confidence.
"Of course, we need to investigate the source of the Wind Attribute Soul Power here. There might be some opportunity," Dugu Feng replied.
He was determined to find out whether this was the inheritance site of the Wind God.
At his words, both Ning Rongrong and Feng Xiaotian looked excited, as they too wanted to know what made this place special.
Riding on the Emerald Dragon Snake's swift flight, they returned to the air above the numerous Hurricane Canyons.
The Emerald Dragon Snake circled for a while before finally ascending a peak towering ten thousand meters high.
This peak was the highest among all the Hurricane Canyons.
Strangely, it was entirely composed of rock, with sparse vegetation stubbornly growing from the stone, covering the mountain in a thin layer of low-lying plants.
"Such a tall peak, so close to the ice plains, yet it has no snow cover!"
Ning Rongrong exclaimed in surprise.
Seeing that most areas were barren solid rock, Dugu Feng roughly understood the reason.
It was the wind—the wind here was too strong for large vegetation to survive.
A deafening roar reached their ears, the tremendous noise shaking their bodies as if they were about to collapse.
Instinctively, the three looked down from the mountaintop.
Below was a deeply recessed Hurricane Canyon, so narrow it resembled a slit of sky.
The sound was emanating from within the canyon.
"When I cultivated in the Hurricane Canyon, I always stayed at the bottom and never dared to fly higher. The higher you go, the stronger the wind!" Feng Xiaotian said with lingering fear.
"If we want to find the true opportunity, it must be where the wind is strongest. The Hurricane Canyon below this highest peak we're on must have the most powerful winds.
Can you feel how active the Wind Attribute Soul Power is here?"
Ning Rongrong and Feng Xiaotian nodded in agreement; they had naturally sensed it too.
Especially Feng Xiaotian, who felt the Soul Power within him stirring with excitement.
"The Wind Attribute Soul Power is active, and there isn't even vegetation over a meter tall on the mountain, indicating the winds at the summit are even stronger. We're in danger here!" Feng Xiaotian added worriedly.
Dugu Feng smiled, "It is indeed dangerous here. What we need to do next is dig a hole, all the way down!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened in disbelief.
You can't be serious!
Dugu Feng proved he wasn't joking with his actions.
He instantly activated his Martial Soul Avatar, his upper body growing intensely hot as an extreme heat energy emanated from the jade pouch at his waist.
It covered an area of three meters in radius.
After a moment, an extreme cold enveloped the same spot.
Immediately, the rocks within this circular area began cracking audibly.
They were shattering internally.
First scorched by extreme heat, then fractured by extreme cold.
But that wasn't all.
Dugu Feng's second Spirit Ring lit up, poison seeped in, and then it completely erupted.
A series of thunderous booms echoed.
Deafening!
Feng Xiaotian was the first to react. After the initial shock, he immediately unleashed formidable Soul Power.
"Tornado Wind Blades!"
Feng Xiaotian's Fifth Soul Skill could unleash Wind Blades resembling a tornado.
As the wind swept through, the rock reduced to powder completely dispersed.
This left a massive pit five meters deep and three meters in diameter.
"Brother Feng, you're incredible! How many more techniques do you have that we don't know about?"
Ning Rongrong praised exaggeratedly.
Such methods astounded her.
The more time she spent with Dugu Feng, the more he seemed like an enigma.
His techniques were endless.
Dugu Feng simply smiled without replying, directly picking up Ning Rongrong and jumping into the pit.
If you all weren't here, I could directly unleash the Eight Spider Lances and instantly carve out a pit.
He wasn't planning to reveal the External Soul Bone to anyone yet.
Within the massive pit, the surrounding walls were as smooth as if they had been sliced by sharp blades.
This sufficiently demonstrated Dugu Feng's exceptionally precise control over both ice and fire energies.
Feng Xiaotian also descended.
Preparing to venture deeper.
