paused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching his slightly changing expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued unhurriedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To repay your

him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even now, it is still the same!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once these words were spoken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Dugu Jian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Dugu Yifang, who had already rushed over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could not help but open his mouth in astonishment, his face full of disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Dugu Jian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was completely stunned by this news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qiubai's strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the battle just now, he already had a rough idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To say he was on par with himself, six of one and half a dozen of the other, was absolutely correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And such an existence could not even take a single strike from Ximen Wudi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wouldn't that mean it would be the same if it were him?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His first reaction was disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, it quickly turned into half-belief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they were both swordsmen, and top-tier ones at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed that Dugu Qiubai would definitely not lie about this matter!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, there was no need to!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he really agreed because of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After discovering that the situation was not right later, couldn't he just leave?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, such deception was completely meaningless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Yifang, who had also thought of this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His pupils suddenly constricted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A trace of shock and horror appeared on his face involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly could not imagine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of taboo existence could finish off his own elder brother with one sword?!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had heard this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would definitely have laughed out loud and then dismissed it as a joke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After witnessing Dugu Qiubai's strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply could not use a joke to comfort himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides feeling a bit dreamlike, the rest was endless absurdity!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terrifying to this extent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was truly terrifying to this extent!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He... is he really that strong?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeming to still have a trace of disbelief in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Jian confirmed with a hesitant tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Great Dragon Head's methods are unfathomable!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His strength is definitely only stronger, not weaker, than what I said!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without even thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qiubai gave a firm affirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In those words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was not even a hint of hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I can witness such a sword path expert, this old man is willing to join the Azure Dragon Society and be at your command!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two breaths of silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Jian suddenly looked up and said with a serious face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old eyes, which had been somewhat cloudy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also burst forth with brilliant light at this moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying goes, if one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening without regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he could witness such a terrifying and unfathomable taboo existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he were to fall immediately, he would be willing!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for what he thought earlier about refusing everything,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Jian could only say, it's truly fragrant!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be able to take a step further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be able to fight the Heavenly Sword, Wuming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be able to witness a more peak sword path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One might ask, who could refuse that?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have made a wise decision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qiubai revealed a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>141-Nine Provinces Combat Power Ceiling Ranking - (Tied) 38th Place!

What do you mean by that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Jian looked curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This matter is not really a secret.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because, no one has ever been able to refuse the Azure Dragon Society!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All those who refused are already dead!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qiubai explained indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his tone had no hint of killing intent, it still made people feel a chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after saying this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qiubai suddenly thought of the only survivor under the Great Dragon Head that the Heavenly Dao Golden List had revealed, Guiguzi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his intelligence, he could naturally understand this at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not that Guiguzi was too strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that the Great Dragon Head had not expected the other party to survive after being severely injured and using a secret technique to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Great Dragon Head's methods, catching up to the other party would definitely not be a difficult task!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could be seen from the strength displayed when facing Di Shitian at the Azure Dragon Peak earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hearing you say that, I am becoming more and more curious about the Great Dragon Head.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Jian laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was there no anger in his eyes, but he became even more curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big brother, you... are you really leaving?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he knew his elder brother's temperament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, once a decision was made, it would not be changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Dugu Yifang still couldn't help but speak up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was still a trace of hesitation in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you worried about Xiong Ba?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeming to have guessed some of his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Dugu Jian could speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qiubai spoke first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you know?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Yifang's pupils constricted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exclaimed subconsciously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking of the other party's previous words, he suddenly understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be able to know his elder brother's information like the back of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing his own situation didn't seem like something hard to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Yifang's expression returned to calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his younger brother's reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Jian frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pondered for a moment, nodded, and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Never mind, you don't need to worry too much about this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Before I leave, I will go to the World Association first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Presumably, with this old man's reputation, Xiong Ba would not dare to make things difficult for my Wushuang City!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying aura flashed across his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was his old home, after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he hadn't returned for many years in order to cultivate his sword path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he had learned such news, how could he sit idly by!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, you don't need to worry about this matter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since Daoist Dugu has already joined our Azure Dragon Society.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our Azure Dragon Society will naturally not stand idly by.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if you didn't say it, our Azure Dragon Society would send people to warn the World Association.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But since Daoist Dugu has this interest, I will accompany you on this trip.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qiubai nodded and added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Azure Dragon Society cannot be insulted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even forces related to members of the Azure Dragon Society are the same!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In that case, I thank you, Daoist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that his words were full of strength and dominance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Jian couldn't help but cup his hands at him, a smile appearing on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Qiubai waved his hand indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't take it to heart at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long before joining the Azure Dragon Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was already a proud person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the consistent style of the Azure Dragon Society was only stronger, not weaker, than what he had shown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would naturally not tarnish the reputation of the Azure Dragon Society!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the two settle the matter in just a few words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dugu Yifang felt a little happy, but couldn't help but click his tongue secretly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at how they spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who didn't know would think Xiong Ba was just some stray cat or dog

seemed to sense something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Narrowing his eyes, he looked up at the void.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the Heavenly Dao Golden List spanning the horizon vibrate
