Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Ye Qiu could not help but laugh.
He deactivated his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
Only then did Xiao Bai breathe a sigh of relief and lower her delicate hands.
At that moment,
Liu Erlong had yet to finish absorbing the Ten-Headed Sun Serpent Inner Core, though the orange-red glow around her had already dimmed considerably.
Xiao Bai looked at Ye Qiu resentfully.
Then she turned her gaze toward Liu Erlong, her eyes brimming with curiosity.
Within her captivating gray-blue eyes, there was a faint trace of fear.
It seemed that Liu Erlong's aura was frightening her.
Seeing Xiao Bai's expression,
the women understood that Xiao Bai had been drawn here by Liu Erlong's aura.
"Ye Qiu, are there really Spirit Beasts over a hundred thousand years old in the Far North?" Shui Bing'er asked doubtfully.
"Of course there are, and more than one at that."
Ye Qiu nodded and began to explain.
"The Heavenly Snow Woman is a Spirit Beast nearly seven hundred thousand years old. There is also the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, nearly four hundred thousand years old, and the Titan Snow Demon King, with two hundred thousand years of cultivation. There is also an Ice Bear King over a hundred thousand years old, though she is somewhat weaker."
Shui Yue'er and the others listened as though hearing heavenly scripture, their eyes filled with amazement.
They had once visited the outskirts of the Far North.
Yet they had never heard the names of those Spirit Beasts.
Even Xiao Wu was no exception.
"I never imagined there were so many powerful Spirit Beasts in this world."
"Have you all forgotten?"
Ye Lingling suddenly spoke up.
"Didn't we encounter a million-year Spirit Beast, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, when we came here?"
"Ah—right, I remember now."
