Bi Ji Was Willing to Trade Her Life for Another? Di Tian Was Determined to Fight to the End!
The situation took a sudden turn for the worse.
No one from Spirit Hall had expected Di Tian to command such terrifying support in the Star Dou Great Forest!
And then, up in the sky...
That incomparably terrifying being possessed strength infinitely close to that of a legendary hundred-rank god!
Even Qian Daoliu was no match for such strength now!
But what they didn't know was this!
The Silver Dragon King was still gravely injured. She had merely borrowed the Dragon God's presence to play the big bad wolf!
Yu Fan knew that.
But he couldn't let a great war erupt between humans and Soul Beasts.
Otherwise...
Not only would Spirit Hall suffer heavy casualties, but every Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent would also go berserk.
When that happened, countless lives would be plunged into misery, and the blame would fall on him alone.
"I, Yu Fan, have never been much of a good person."
"But I'm certainly not the kind of bad person who can't read the situation."
He glanced at Qian Daoliu and said,
"Senior, this matter started because of me."
"Beast God Di Tian is extremely important to the Soul Beast Clan."
"It's simply not worth sacrificing Spirit Hall's core combat forces for a mere Soul Bone and Soul Ring."
The other elders were about to rebuke Yu Fan.
After all, boosting the enemy's morale while cutting down their own was rather irritating.
But when the elders noticed Yu Fan's terrifying strength,
they chose to remain silent...
On the Douluo Continent, strength truly did reign supreme.
"..."
Qian Daoliu fell silent. Naturally, he didn't want to leave just like that.
They had plainly been moments away from eliminating Beast God Di Tian, yet now they had no choice but to stop here.
It was indeed rather frustrating.
"Hmph, it seems you have no intention of giving Spirit Hall a suitable explanation."
Qian Daoliu could leave.
But he had to gain something substantial.
Since Di Tian couldn't die, and there were so many Ferocious Beasts aged two hundred thousand years present,
surely at least one of them had to die?
"..."
Di Tian had clearly seen what Qian Daoliu meant as well. The man was already considering leaving, but he couldn't simply have made the trip for nothing.
Yet as the Beast God, Di Tian couldn't say those words.
Just then, Bi Ji stepped forward of her own accord.
"If my death can bring lasting peace between humans and the Soul Beast Clan,"
"then I'm willing to trade my life for Lord Beast God's."
Bi Ji's cultivation had reached a staggering five hundred thousand years, making her in no way inferior to Di Tian.
Qian Daoliu naturally saw that too.
If Bi Ji was willing to offer herself up to die, Spirit Hall would reap an enormous profit.
What would they gain?
A Soul Ring and a Soul Bone without losing a single soldier!
And Soul Rings and Soul Bones hundreds of thousands of years old, at that!
"Hehe, I'm not an unreasonable man."
"If you're truly willing to trade your life for his, then Spirit Hall will naturally leave."
The Silver Dragon King said nothing more.
If she had to choose between Di Tian and Bi Ji,
she chose Di Tian.
If she hadn't been gravely injured...
She wouldn't have wanted to hand either of them over.
This was a choice she had no alternative but to make.
"Bi Ji, you..."
Di Tian knew full well how important Bi Ji was to the Soul Beasts.
He did everything he could to stop her.
But Bi Ji shook her head and said,
"Lord Beast God, someone has to step forward."
"Bi Ji, I'm the one who brought this upon you all."
Di Tian was clearly unwilling to let Bi Ji die.
He spoke in a heavy voice.
"But she cannot be handed over to you."
"I can personally capture a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast for you."
"That is the answer I give Spirit Hall today."
"If you're still unwilling, then what of it if we fight until the fish die and the net splits today?"
Bi Ji hadn't expected Di Tian to stand so firm.
But was it really worth it?
Not only would the Soul Beast Clan suffer countless casualties, but countless lives across the Douluo Continent would surely be plunged into misery, and the entire continent might even be left in ruins.
Even the Silver Dragon King hadn't expected...
Di Tian, who ordinarily obeyed her every word, to stand firm to the end.
"Hmph, do you think a mere hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast is enough to send Spirit Hall away? Do you imagine I can't capture one myself?"
Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes slightly.
He wanted a higher price.
A mere hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast naturally wouldn't do.
The price wasn't high enough.
As for why Bibi Dong wasn't speaking?
Because she had no say right now.
In Qian Daoliu's presence, she could only continue to bide her time.
"Don't push your luck!"
Di Tian forcibly suppressed the rage in his heart.
If he hadn't been severely injured, how could he have let Qian Daoliu stand there spouting such nonsense?
Even if there really were two demigods before him, with his mistress, the Silver Dragon King, at his side,
how could they possibly lose?
If his mistress hadn't still been recovering from her injuries...
Every last one of these Soul Masters would die without a burial place!
"..."
Just as the situation reached an impasse,
Yu Fan spoke up from the side.
"One hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast isn't enough. We want at least two."
He looked at Qian Daoliu and cupped his fists.
"Senior, the Star Dou Great Forest has deep foundations. Although Spirit Hall is one of the world's foremost powers, there's no need to make enemies of them."
"Taking two hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts as payment for the trip is actually entirely acceptable for our current interests."
"Even taking ten thousand steps back, Spirit Hall didn't materially participate in my fight with Di Tian today, and in the end he still had to crawl back home."
It wasn't a good time for humans and Soul Beasts to go to war.
Even if they did go to war, they had to wait until Qian Renxue became a god.
That way, with the absolute crushing superiority of God Level combat power,
humans wouldn't suffer heavy casualties.
But afterward, the Soul Beasts would still charge forward in wave after wave to retaliate. From his perspective as a transmigrator,
a war between the two races had no value or meaning whatsoever, and it would also stop him from fleecing the system.
"Two Soul Beasts at the hundred-thousand-year level would indeed do."
Qian Daoliu pondered briefly.
He felt the price was acceptable.
It would neither deal a crippling blow to the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest nor leave Spirit Hall at too much of a disadvantage.
After all, a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast was guaranteed to drop a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
And there was also the precious Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Both were equally precious to Spirit Hall.
"Beast God, what do you say?"
"Two hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts?"
Di Tian forcibly suppressed the rage in his heart.
They made it sound so easy. Did they think the hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest were as plentiful as cabbages by the roadside?
Although it was far better than letting Bi Ji die for him...
It would still cut them to the bone!
"Give me time to think!"
As Di Tian hesitated,
Zi JI slowly walked over to his side and spoke softly.
"Lord Beast God, don't forget, isn't there a valuable Soul Beast right there in our Forbidden Zone of Life?"
"Who?"
Di Tian frowned slightly. He clearly hadn't understood which Soul Beast Zi JI meant.
The Soul Beasts in the Forbidden Zone of Life were all at least two hundred thousand years old, and every one of them was part of their mistress's future foundation.
They were Ferocious Beasts who absolutely couldn't be lost.
"Hehe..."
Zi JI smiled slyly and said,
"A million-year-old, super-sized bug!"
A million-year-old super-sized bug?
That Sky Dream Ice Silkworm?
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was indeed a million-year Soul Beast!
But that fellow's strength was pathetically weak!
Back then, Di Tian had knocked him out with a single slap and brought him from the Far North to the core region!
He had intended to use him to support the other Ferocious Beasts in cultivating quickly, but he hadn't expected...
That he could have another use today?
