The Ice and Snow Empresses Descend on Star Dou, the Soul Beast Army Marches on Shrek City!

Kong Deming exchanged a glance with Jing Hongchen beside him and said with a smile.

"Besides, our Illustrious Virtue Hall also needs a holy son like Huo Yuhao!"

"As long as Huo Yuhao is willing to join the Illustrious Virtue Hall, I can guarantee that we will devote all our strength to nurturing him. The position of Hall Master will be his in the future!"

Hearing Kong Deming's explanation, Du Busi curled his lip.

"Well now, your words are sweeter than a song!"

"The problem is, Xu Tianran, the crown prince of your Sun Moon Empire, has Huo Yuhao wanted all over the world. Do you take us all for fools?"

"If Huo Yuhao goes to the Sun Moon Empire with you, I'm afraid the imperial family will chop him into mincemeat on his first day!"

At those words, Kong Deming's expression stiffened.

"I will naturally explain matters to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Besides, I have already decided to take Huo Yuhao as my final disciple. Whoever dares touch him will be making an enemy of me!"

"And anyone who makes an enemy of me will undoubtedly be making an enemy of the entire Illustrious Virtue Hall!"

Just as the three factions were locked in an argument.

A figure shot into the sky from Shrek City and landed before them.

It was none other than the dean of Shrek Academy, Bright Phoenix Douluo Yan Shaozhe.

Taking in the grand scene around him, Yan Shaozhe cupped his fists and addressed the three factions in a clear voice.

"You have all come from afar, and Shrek Academy has indeed failed to come out and welcome you."

"However, Huo Yuhao is a student of Shrek Academy, and he receives the treatment of a core disciple in both the Martial Soul Department and the Soul Tool Department."

"Honored seniors, you are all prominent figures on the continent. If word got out that you forced your way into Shrek Academy and snatched away one of its core students, I'm afraid it wouldn't sound very good, would it?"

"So, honored seniors, please return whence you came!"

When Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, the experts of the three factions all froze for a moment.

Then a chorus of unrestrained laughter rang out around him.

"Hahahaha!"

Zhongli Wu laughed until tears came to his eyes.

"A core disciple? A core disciple of your Shrek Academy was actually reduced to setting up a stall to sell grilled fish?"

"I've lived all these years, and this is the first time I've heard of such a thing!"

Du Busi was also clutching his stomach with laughter.

"Can the great Shrek Academy not even afford a core disciple's meals?"

"Yan Shaozhe, if your Shrek Academy is so poor you can't even keep a pot on the fire, you can borrow some money from our Body Sect!"

"Why make such a fine prospect sell grilled fish? Hahahaha!"

Although Kong Deming did not laugh aloud, the corners of his mouth twitched several times.

"Dean Yan, as far as I know, that child Huo Yuhao ran a grilled fish stall in Shrek City for three whole days."

"Three days!"

"This is how your Shrek Academy treats a core disciple?"

Yan Shaozhe's face flushed red, then turned pale.

He was the dean of the esteemed Shrek Academy. When had anyone ever humiliated him to his face like this?

And yet, he really had no way to refute them!

Seeing Yan Shaozhe at a loss, the three factions laughed even more recklessly.

But after the laughter subsided, everyone's expression suddenly changed.

The smile vanished from Zhongli Wu's face, replaced by an icy killing intent.

"Yan Shaozhe, enough nonsense!"

"Hand Huo Yuhao over at once!"

The muscles on Du Busi's body bulged like rocks.

"Brat, if you know what's good for you, hand Huo Yuhao over. Otherwise, I'll tear down Shrek City today!"

Kong Deming's voice carried an unquestionable authority.

"I'll say this one last time. Hand Huo Yuhao over!"

The three factions now spoke in unison.

"Hand Huo Yuhao over at once!"

Black World, Star Dou Great Forest.

Two figures, one in white and one in green, entered the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest. They were none other than the Snow Empress and the Ice Empress.

As the two ventured deeper, the Soul Beasts throughout the Star Dou Great Forest fell into an eerie silence.

Everywhere they passed, whether Hundred-Year Soul Beasts or Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

All the Soul Beasts prostrated themselves on the ground and lowered their heads, not daring to make the slightest movement.

Ten thousand beasts bowed their heads!

The Heavenly Snow Woman, ranked third among the ten great Ferocious Beasts, and the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, ranked seventh, had come to the Star Dou Great Forest at the same time!

On the shore of the Lake of Life, Beast God Di Tian had long been waiting with a group of Ferocious Beasts.

Bi Ji, the Myriad Demon King, Xiong Jun, the Scarlet King, and Zi JI—the mighty Ferocious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest were all present.

"Snow Empress, Ice Empress."

Di Tian's golden dragon eyes flickered slightly as he nodded to the two of them.

"The two great rulers of the Far North visiting the Star Dou Great Forest together? You are truly rare guests!"

The Snow Empress turned her cold gaze toward Di Tian and spoke.

"Di Tian, we sisters have come today to discuss the matter of Huo Yuhao."

The Ice Empress also stepped forward and said eagerly.

"Di Tian, the Huo Yuhao in the Heavenly Screen fused with the power of the Ice and Snow Empresses of the Far North!"

"Although those were our counterparts in a parallel world, that's enough to show that this human has a history with the Far North!"

"If we can befriend him in this world, our Far North..."

But before the Ice Empress could finish.

In the next instant, circles of silver ripples suddenly spread across the tranquil surface of the Lake of Life.

Immediately afterward, a pillar of silver light shot into the sky from the bottom of the lake!

Streams of silver light gathered over the lake, gradually taking the shape of an illusory figure.

It was a woman in a long silver dress.

Her face was shrouded in a hazy silver light, making it impossible to see clearly.

But the terrifying pressure that towered above all things in the world made the expressions of every Ferocious Beast present change.

Di Tian was the first to bow, his voice filled with unprecedented reverence and fervor.

"Welcome, my lord!"

Immediately afterward, Bi Ji, the Myriad Demon King, Xiong Jun, the Scarlet King, Zi JI, and all the Ferocious Beasts bowed in unison.

"Welcome, my lord!"

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress exchanged a glance.

Although the Soul Beasts of the Far North worshipped the Ice God, they too had vaguely heard rumors about this person, and now they bowed as well.

"Greetings, Lady Silver Dragon King!"

The Silver Dragon King!

The Dragon God's other half, the true sovereign of the Soul Beast Clan, the being who slumbered deep within the Lake of Life!

At this very moment, she had actually appeared in person!

The Silver Dragon King's gaze slowly swept over the mighty Ferocious Beasts present before finally turning toward the Heavenly Screen.

"The words 'Child of the Plane' are no small matter!"

"During these years of slumber, I have been observing the fortune of the Douluo Plane."

"It takes ten thousand years for a plane's fortune to give rise to a single Child of the Plane!"

"And a Child of the Plane is the one upon whom the myriad fortunes of that plane converge!"

"If we can gain control of Huo Yuhao..."

Di Tian raised his golden dragon eyes and asked respectfully.

"My lord, what should we do?"

Gu Yuena slowly turned around, her gaze flickering.

"Perhaps he is the one who can change the fate of the Soul Beast Clan!"

"And my Divine Sense has detected humans fighting over Huo Yuhao around Shrek City!"

"The army will go to Shrek Academy and bring Huo Yuhao back to the Star Dou Great Forest!"
