Three Illusion Gods Take Form! The Hope of All the Village's Soul Beasts?

After much difficulty, Chrysanthemum Douluo finally persuaded Hu Liena to return.

Chrysanthemum Douluo acted with utmost decisiveness and immediately fled the forest.

He completely failed to notice that another figure had long been lurking in the shadows not too far away.

It was a certain Titled Douluo who had secretly followed them on Qian Renxue's orders.

Of course, regardless of that person's identity, at this moment, he was equally shocked.

Xiao Xuan's absorption of a soul ring had actually alerted the ruler of the soul beasts?

One had to know, he was only level thirty!

Once he grew up, his terrifying potential would be unimaginable.

Fortunately, no matter how great one's talent was, death was still death.

Though it was somewhat regrettable, this at least removed one of Bibi Dong's future wings for the Angel Lineage. Overall, it was not a loss!

In any case, he had not done it himself, so that person could not blame him.

He continued hiding for quite a while longer, only emerging from the shadows and fleeing rapidly into the distance after confirming that both the Titan Giant Ape and Chrysanthemum Douluo had gone far away.

At this point, no matter how they described it aloud, everyone was actually thinking the same thing.

After being taken away by the Titan Giant Ape, the chance of survival was practically zero.

Except Xiao Xuan himself did not think so.

The reason he had suddenly stopped resisting while condensing Thunder Summon

was because a familiar voice had sounded in his mind.

Even though it had deliberately been disguised, he had still recognized it.

Who else could possess that childish yet mischievous tone but Xiao Wu?

The little rabbit had told him that they would not hurt him; they merely had some questions they wanted to ask him face-to-face.

Furthermore, Xiao Xuan knew perfectly well that resisting would have been useless anyway.

Since things had come to this, he simply stopped and waited to see what tricks Xiao Wu was playing.

At this moment, they were heading toward the deepest part of the forest.

They did not waste much time. With the Titan Giant Ape's charging speed, they soon arrived beside a vast, crystal-clear lake.

A Giant Soldier emerged from the lake, its enormous black shadow blotting out the sky.

It was Xiao Wu's other younger brother, Sky Azure Bull Python Da Ming!

"Human, release your martial soul."

"Then answer a few questions obediently."

"Don't worry. We won't hurt you... as long as you don't try any tricks."

As a soul beast that had surpassed one hundred thousand years, the Sky Azure Bull Python had already learned human speech.

Seeing Er Ming return, its serpentine body slowly writhed.

Its enormous bull head lowered as it stared at Xiao Xuan in the giant ape's palm.

So far, Xiao Wu herself had yet to appear.

Thinking of how the little rabbit had deliberately disguised her voice earlier, Xiao Xuan could roughly guess that it was to avoid exposing her identity.

Naturally, it was enough for him to know that in his heart.

For the sake of his life, he certainly could not expose her to her face. What if they decided to silence him?

"Sky Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape."

"I never expected the two rulers of the forest's soul beasts to take the initiative to meet me."

"Since I can't escape anyway, ask whatever you want."

Hearing this, Xiao Xuan did not show any panic.

He calmly released his martial soul while carefully observing them.

His composure instead left the Sky Azure Bull Python momentarily stunned. Why was this different from what it had imagined?

Meanwhile, the Titan Giant Ape beside it had almost no favorable impression of humans.

Though it could not speak, it could still understand.

Seeing this, it snorted through its enormous nostrils, somewhat displeased by Xiao Xuan's attitude.

"You know my name? You're quite well-informed."

"So my instincts were right. Your martial soul carries a certain aura."

"Tell me, why are you with that guy?"

Ignoring Xiao Xuan's reaction, the Sky Azure Bull Python spoke in a deep voice.

As it observed his martial soul, it directly asked the question.

There was no doubt that the person it referred to was Ju Hua Guan.

The moment Xiao Xuan heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

Damn it, how had he forgotten about that?

Back then, when Bibi Dong obtained Xiao Wu's mother's soul ring, Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo had accompanied her.

Even if Da Ming Er Ming failed to recognize him, how could the little rabbit possibly mistake him? This was going to be troublesome!

The old bastard had run away, but he was still here!

Especially since they had surely seen him absorb the soul ring with Hu Liena's help just now.

No one would believe they were not on the same side.

"Because... I'm a student of Spirit Hall Academy."

"I came here this time to investigate the disappearance of soul masters."

"Respected soul beast overlord, may I ask if there is something wrong with my martial soul?"

At this point, he definitely could not lie.

Xiao Wu was at Nuoding Academy, and as long as she had paid even a little attention, she would certainly have learned long ago that he had joined Spirit Hall.

All he could do now was downplay their connection and change the subject.

Debts had their creditors. He was only a seven-year-old child who had joined Spirit Hall Academy because of his talent.

Even if they wanted revenge, they could not pin it on him, could they?

Besides, Xiao Xuan could sense it.

They had definitely not captured him solely because of that.

It was more likely related to the Three Illusion Gods Martial Soul.

Those two enormous bull eyes could not possibly conceal it.

As they stared at the phantom images of the Three Illusion Gods, their gazes carried reverence, worship, and devotion.

"Perhaps, in their eyes, the divinity contained within the Three Illusion Gods Martial Soul represents the gods of soul beasts?"

"Given the situation of soul beasts on Douluo Continent, wouldn't that make them the hope of the entire village?"

"But the problem is... they aren't living beast gods."

"They've already become martial souls, so why make such a fuss?"

Though he was not entirely certain, Xiao Xuan seized the opportunity and quickly guided the conversation back to this topic.

Fortunately, Xiao Wu, hidden in the shadows, did not seem to intend to dump the blame for Chrysanthemum Douluo onto him.

After casually asking through the Sky Azure Bull Python, the main focus remained on the Three Illusion Gods.

"Then let me ask you."

"How do those three martial souls maintain their balance?"

"And where did they all come from?"

"Humans should not, and could not possibly possess something like this..."

If Xiao Xuan truly had to answer the Sky Azure Bull Python's questions, he could not explain a single one of them.

Fortunately, the creature had not finished speaking.

A sudden change occurred. The phantom images of the Three Illusion Gods behind Xiao Xuan

began to emit a faint glow, and their originally restrained divine might spread without warning.

It was completely beyond his control, enveloping both the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

At the same time, the two soul beasts, both worthy of being called overlords, revealed expressions of shock, as if they could not believe what they were seeing.

They no longer paid attention to Xiao Xuan and began making incredibly strange beast-language sounds.

It was as though they were directly communicating with the Three Illusion Gods.

There was such a thing?

At least it saved him the trouble of explaining himself.

But this turn of events also struck him as somewhat strange.

Before, he had only thought the Three Illusion Gods Martial Soul was brimming with spirituality.

Now, it seemed that was far from all—there was clearly a will within it!

Even if it was incomplete, it had undoubtedly retained its intelligence.

No wonder that every time he absorbed a soul ring before this, Xiao Xuan never needed to control them; the Three Illusion Gods would divide the work among themselves. It was probably for the same reason.

"So that's how it is."

"Young man, you may leave."

"I won't kill you today, but let me offer you one piece of advice."

"There may be good people in the human world, but Spirit Hall is definitely not among them. Take care of yourself..."
