"Wait!"

As Ye Han and the others prepared to leave, Zhao Wuji and Chao Tianxiang spoke at the same time.

"Young man, may I ask where your teacher or family members are?" Chao Tianxiang asked pleasantly.

Ye Han laughed as soon as he heard that. Anyone who was not an idiot knew why Chao Tianxiang was asking that question.

"What? You want to see whether our teacher is strong enough, right? If he is, you'll reason with us. If he isn't, you'll use your status to bully us. Right?"

Ye Han's words struck right at the heart of the matter. Chao Tianxiang was embarrassed, and even Zhao Wuji beside her awkwardly rubbed his nose. After all, he had been thinking the same thing.

"You're awfully arrogant! We discovered this Soul Beast first! You're just taking it by force!" Meng Yiran said unhappily from beside Chao Tianxiang.

Ye Han was not angry and merely said casually, "Really? As a Soul Emperor, Senior Chao Tianxiang actually let a Soul Beast over a thousand years old get away?"

That opening was utterly cutting. Not only did the hot-blooded Meng Yiran feel her anger rise, even Chao Tianxiang felt the blood rush to her head.

"Hmph! Insolent brat, you may leave today, but the Soul Beast must stay!" Chao Tianxiang said furiously.

Seeing Chao Tianxiang about to make a move, Ye Han was not afraid. He spoke with a cold expression, "You'd better think some things through! If someone from that side were making a move, I might be wary. But if it's you, you'd better think carefully!"

Ye Han was not joking. If Chao Tianxiang truly made a move, he absolutely would not let her leave the Star Dou Great Forest alive.

They were currently accompanying the academy to obtain Soul Rings, so Zhao Lei was allowed to take action.

Upon hearing Ye Han's words, the other two sides were both stunned. Chao Tianxiang especially glanced toward Zhao Wuji, unable to make up her mind for a moment.

If the other side was wary of Zhao Wuji, then they had at least one Soul Saint. Her husband was not here, so she truly could not afford to provoke them.

Unfortunately, Ye Han had not meant Zhao Wuji. He meant Tang Hao behind Tang San, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo behind Ning Rongrong, as well as the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts within the Star Dou Great Forest.

As for Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing from the Star Luo Empire, there was no need to mention them. They already had a grudge, so why should he fear them?

The atmosphere became somewhat tense. Chao Tianxiang did not dare to act, and neither did Zhao Wuji.

"Why don't we settle this according to the rules of the Soul Master world?" Chao Tianxiang broke the deadlock first. "Let those who need the Soul Ring come out and fight! The winner absorbs the Soul Ring!"

"Sister Chao, that may not work. This disciple of mine is a level-thirty Support Department Soul Master and has no combat ability. But this one can take her place—Tang San, a level-twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster!"

Zhao Wuji's words secretly startled Chao Tianxiang, since Tang San did not look very old at all.

Ye Han, however, spoke disdainfully, "Why so much nonsense? The snake is in my hands, and you don't dare make a move. Why should I fight you? What a joke!"

Ye Han's words made both Chao Tianxiang and Zhao Wuji look terrible. Seeing the stalemate once again, Ye Han spoke up once more. "Ning Rongrong, get out here! Why are you hiding in the back like an ostrich? Tell me, Ning Rongrong—are you going to represent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and oppose me?"

Ning Rongrong had thought Ye Han and the others looked familiar, but six years had passed, and they had changed so much that she had not been certain, so she had remained silent.

But now that Ye Han had made it plain, Ning Rongrong could finally be sure.

Ye Han calling her out by name made everyone turn their eyes toward Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong, you know them?" Oscar asked cautiously.

Ning Rongrong stepped forward as well and politely said, "Ye Han, it has been a long time. Oscar truly needs this Soul Beast. You can state your conditions. If we can fulfill them, we definitely will!"

"I didn't expect you to become so much more polite after a few years," Ye Han said with some emotion as he looked at the courteous Ning Rongrong. "So you aren't representing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect now?"

"Of course not. I'm a Shrek student now. There's no need to escalate this to the point where Titled Douluo have to fight!"

Ning Rongrong's words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake. Xiao Wu in particular instinctively hid behind Tang San.

Chao Tianxiang's mind completely froze. Both sides could mobilize Titled Douluo. Never mind who Ye Han was—the identity of Ning Rongrong alone was enough to confirm that she was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Having confirmed this, Chao Tianxiang no longer wished to concern herself with Ye Han's identity. She cupped her hands and said, "I hope this matter ends here. This old woman shall take her leave!"

Chao Tianxiang's sudden departure turned the three-way standoff back into a confrontation between two sides.

"I have many demands that you can fulfill. I just don't know whether you're willing to," Ye Han said playfully.

Ning Rongrong knew from Ye Han's smile that this would not be simple, but before she could speak, Zhao Wuji spoke first. "Young brother, tell us. If we truly can do it, we will certainly not refuse!"

"Don't worry, you can definitely do all of them. First, I want her and him!" Ye Han pointed directly at Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhao Wuji's smile froze. Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were equally baffled, since neither of them knew Ye Han.

"Young Brother Ye Han, I'm afraid that won't do. The identities of these two are far from simple!" Zhao Wuji tried to frighten Ye Han off.

"I know. The White Tiger Clan and the Star Luo Royal Family, right? It's precisely because I know that I'm looking for the two of them! Dai Li once sent people to block me at the Heaven Dou Imperial Family! Understand?"

Ye Han had made himself clear, but Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing could only think, What the hell? What was this? They had been sitting at home, only for trouble to fall from the sky.

They had fled their families because they feared death, yet now their families had apparently provoked a Titled Douluo. The entire Star Luo Royal Family did not even have many Titled Douluo.

"Uh, Brother Ye, if it's about that matter, I have to say this. Zhu Qing and I escaped while fleeing for our lives! For all we know, our family may kill us within a few years!" Dai Mubai said awkwardly.

Ye Han naturally knew that, but this was merely groundwork. He did not truly intend to kill the two of them.

"In that case, I'll change my demand. I want her!" Ye Han raised his finger again, and this time, he pointed at Xiao Wu.

Tang San's heart sank. With an unpleasant expression, he said, "Impossible! I hope Brother Ye is not joking. Xiao Wu is my sister. I cannot hand her over to you!"

"This won't do, and that won't do. Then I'll be leaving!" Ye Han said calmly.

"Ye Han, what exactly do you want? If you need anything, I can have the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect provide it for you!" Ning Rongrong shouted, unable to bear it any longer.

Seeing that the groundwork was sufficient, Ye Han did not mind Ning Rongrong's attitude. He smiled and said, "Earlier, I saw your eyes light up. That should be some kind of secret technique, right? Use that secret technique in exchange!"

That was right. Ye Han's goal was Tang San's Purple Demon Eyes. Of the entire Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, Ye Han felt that Purple Demon Eyes was the most useful.

The reason he had mentioned Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, and the others earlier was, first, to frighten Xiao Wu, and second, to make his demand seem bigger. If they refused, then when he lowered the demand, people would find it easier to accept psychologically.

"Third Brother, forget it. The Star Dou Great Forest is so vast. We don't necessarily need this Soul Beast. There's no need to trade your secret technique for it!" Seeing Tang San's hesitation, Oscar spoke first.

"I'll make the trade this time! But Purple Demon Eyes is extremely important. I hope to speak with you alone!" Tang San said with a complicated expression as he looked at Ye Han.

Ye Han nodded and walked to one side with Tang San.

"Purple Demon Eyes is extremely important. Xiao Ao is right. Even if we found another Soul Beast, logically speaking, I still would not give it to you. But there is something I care about. If you can give me an answer that convinces me and guarantee that you will not reveal Purple Demon Eyes, then I will give you the method to cultivate it!"

Ye Han had only intended to try, yet he had not expected to truly have a chance to obtain Purple Demon Eyes.

"I can promise not to reveal it, but do you see those six people over there? I will definitely give it to them!" Ye Han said calmly.

Tang San could see Ye Han's certainty. He took a deep breath. "Fine! Then can you answer my question now?"

Ye Han was also curious about what Tang San wanted to ask. "Ask."

"Why do you want Xiao Wu?" Tang San stared at Ye Han seriously. He had even activated Purple Demon Eyes, as though he wanted to observe Ye Han closely.

At that, Ye Han understood. "What if I said I was just saying it casually?"

"You had a very strong purpose from the moment you appeared. You wanted Dai Boss and Zhu Qing because you had a grudge with them before. Then there must also be a reason you want Xiao Wu! Is it because Xiao Wu's family has a grudge with you?"

Tang San's meticulous powers of observation made Ye Han see him in a new light. Besides, there was nothing to hide about this matter. The one who would have a headache later would not be him, and he would even gain Purple Demon Eyes for free.

"Xiao Wu—your sister—is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast! She is currently cultivating again from the beginning in this form. Any Soul Douluo or stronger can see her true form!"

Ye Han's words made Tang San's pupils contract. Tang San had considered many possibilities, but the only one he had never considered was that Xiao Wu was not human. For a moment, he found it difficult to accept.

"Alright, I've told you. Where is the cultivation method for Purple Demon Eyes?" Ye Han asked calmly.

Tang San directly took out a scroll and handed it to Ye Han. This news was too significant to him, and for the moment, he did not know how he should face Xiao Wu.
