Douluo: Reincarnation of the Exiled Immortal, a Flute Tune to Send Heroes Away

Chapter 13 Seven Days' Appointment, Sunset Forest

Yu Tianheng and others stood quietly not far away, listening to the banished immortal's flute music, as if they were brought into a distant world.

The flute sounds melodious, carrying with it endless vicissitudes and loneliness, as if telling a long-forgotten past.

Even Oslo and Yufeng, who were usually the most lively, restrained their smiles at this moment, with a hint of contemplation in their eyes.

The sound of the flute gradually faded away, and the exiled immortal slowly put down the jade flute, his eyes still looking into the distance, as if he had penetrated time and space and returned to the era when he once dominated the world.

Yu Tianheng and others did not dare to disturb them, but just stood there quietly, their hearts filled with awe and curiosity.

After a while, the exiled immortal came back to his senses, gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned around and looked at everyone, and said lightly: "What's wrong with you?"

Yu Tianheng and others hurried forward and saluted respectfully.

Ye Lingling couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, that song just now... was so beautiful! But why did it sound a little sad?"

The exiled immortal smiled slightly, his eyes filled with depth. “That’s a song written for an old friend, telling the story of his glorious life.”

Yu Tianheng nodded, but he was very confused in his heart. An old friend of the teacher?
Just then, there was a sound of light footsteps in the distance.

Everyone looked back and saw a young man in luxurious clothes walking slowly towards them. It was the crown prince of Tiandou Empire - Xue Qinghe.

Xue Qinghe wore a smile and a gentle gaze, like a modest gentleman. He walked up to the crowd, nodded slightly, and said, "Teacher Zexian, we meet again."

The exiled immortal put away the jade flute in his hand and nodded slightly at him: "After parting for a long time, I never thought that I would meet the prince again."

"Your Highness, you are not here to force Teacher Zexian to teach that idiot Xue Beng, are you?"

Dugu Yan spoke bluntly, scaring her teammates beside her so much that they stared at her with wide eyes.

My deputy captain! Don't scold my brother in front of the prince!
Yu Tianheng was also startled, but he still held Dugu Yan's hand to make his position clear.

Xue Qinghe didn't get angry when he heard this. Instead, he smiled slightly and looked at Dugu Yan with a gentle gaze. He said, "This must be Senior Dugu's granddaughter, Miss Dugu Yan, right? I'm not here today because of Fourth Brother's matter, but I sincerely want to invite Teacher Zexian to my house for a chat. Teacher Zexian is talented and powerful, and I have admired him for a long time. I simply want to discuss some cultivation experiences with you, and I have no other intentions."

Dugu Yan was stunned by Xue Qinghe's attitude. She didn't expect that the Crown Prince would be so magnanimous and not at all angry because of her frankness.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Yu Tianheng gently pulled her sleeve, signaling her not to say anything more.

The exiled immortal glanced at Xue Qinghe and said calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. However, I have always liked quietness and am not used to going to those bustling places. I appreciate your kindness."

Xue Qinghe heard this, his face still wearing a gentle smile, as if he was not surprised by the exiled immortal's refusal. He nodded slightly and said, "Since the teacher is unwilling, then I will not force it. However, if the teacher changes his mind in the future, the door of the Prince's Mansion is always open to you."

The exiled immortal smiled faintly and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Xue Qinghe didn't say anything more. He nodded slightly to everyone, then turned and left.

His back was still calm and elegant, as if the invitation just now was just a casual mention and he didn't take it to heart.

After Xue Qinghe walked away, Dugu Yan couldn't help but curl her lips and whispered, "This Crown Prince is quite good at pretending. It's obvious what he's thinking, but on the surface he acts like a modest gentleman."

Yu Tianheng patted her shoulder gently and whispered, "Yan'er, be careful with your words. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a member of the royal family after all, so we shouldn't discuss him too much."

Dugu Yan snorted. Although she was dissatisfied in her heart, she knew that Yu Tianheng was right, so she said no more.

The exiled immortal glanced at everyone and said calmly, "Let's stop here for today's training. Go back and have a good rest. We will continue tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and then left.
-
Day after day, seven days passed in a blink of an eye.

Dugu Bo arrived at the gate of Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy as promised, waiting for the arrival of the exiled immortal.

He stood beside a luxurious carriage, his eyes occasionally darting towards the academy, appearing somewhat anxious. Not long after, the figure of the exiled immortal appeared at the academy's gate.

He was still dressed in white, with a calm expression, as if nothing in the world could disturb his mood.

"Young friend, you are finally here." Dugu Bo stepped forward, his tone a little anxious.

The exiled immortal glanced at him and said calmly, "Let's go to the place you mentioned."

Dugu Bo nodded, then signaled the exiled immortal to get in the car.

The carriage started slowly and headed towards the Sunset Forest.

……

Deep in the Sunset Forest, poisonous fog filled the air, and a pungent fishy smell filled the air.

Gu Bo led the exiled immortal deeper and deeper, and soon they arrived at the valley.

The valley was surrounded by towering cliffs and filled with thick green poisonous fog, which kept all living things out.

"This is it." Dugu Bo pointed at the poisonous fog, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

The exiled immortal nodded, glanced around, and said calmly, "Is that the place of extreme yin and extreme yang you mentioned?"

"Yes." Dugu Bo nodded and explained, "I accidentally discovered this place more than ten years ago and transformed it into a medicinal garden."

"There are many magical herbs growing in it. If you can help me remove the toxins in my body, you can take them."

"Let's go in and have a look."

After saying that, the exiled immortal took the lead.

Dugu Bo was shocked when he saw this. You know, the poisonous fog outside is comparable to his green phosphorus snake venom.

Without the detoxification pills he developed, ordinary people would not be able to enter.

But soon he thought of something, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I am truly foolish. With his martial spirit, how could a mere poisonous fog possibly harm him?"

Dugu Bo followed the exiled immortal and stepped into the valley together.

As the exiled immortal entered the valley, thick green smoke hit him in the face.

However, the exiled immortal was completely unaware of this, his expression remained calm as he walked straight ahead.

The True Phoenix flame on his body burned the poisonous fog with a sizzling sound.

Dugu Bo followed closely behind him.

Soon the two of them entered the valley.

What the exiled immortal didn't expect was that there was an inverted cone-shaped valley in front of him. The valley they were in was on the edge of the valley. Thick hot air rose from the valley. The hot air was very humid and had a unique smell of sulfur.

"Is there a hot spring here?"
