Xue Nianbing's Scheme, Soul Beast Slaughter

Huo Yuhao carefully tucked the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record into his clothes and said earnestly, "Teacher Xiao Ya, I'll cultivate diligently."

"Mm."

Tang Ya nodded with a smile.

"Let's go. The most urgent matter is finding a suitable First Soul Ring for Yu Hao. We can discuss some things from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record along the way," Beibei said.

Under his lead, the three gradually vanished into the forest.

Only after their figures had completely disappeared did Xue Nianbing emerge from his hiding place in the tree, silently watching the direction in which they had gone.

"The Purple Demon Eye really is suited to Huo Yuhao."

"However, the sect most suited to Huo Yuhao is undoubtedly the Body Sect. With the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul, Du Busi would absolutely treasure him."

"Do Beibei and Tang Ya know? Or do they not know? Or do they know but choose not to say anything?"

Xue Nianbing pondered silently.

Originally, after obtaining Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and Electrolux, he could have left this place.

But after calming down and thinking it through carefully, he came up with other ideas.

Xue Nianbing had always believed that he would replace Huo Yuhao as the Child of Destiny.

However, judging by the fact that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had still initially wanted to become Huo Yuhao's Wisdom Soul Ring, Huo Yuhao still possessed "fortune."

In other words, Huo Yuhao was still the Child of Destiny. His fortune simply could not compare to Xue Nianbing's, so it had been snatched away.

Looking at it this way, Huo Yuhao still had the potential to become a god.

"Revenge against the Duke's Mansion?"

"Why don't I, this great philanthropist, give you a hand... The grudge of your mother's murder and the humiliation you suffered—talking about forgiveness is simply disgusting. Paying blood debts in blood is what you should do."

The corners of Xue Nianbing's lips curled upward as a plan began to take shape.

Whether he would stand opposed to God King Tang in the future was certain.

Since that was the case, he might as well make arrangements in advance.

A Huo Yuhao with the potential to become a god possessed tremendous value.

Of course, Xue Nianbing also intended to use this to test the "dream" he had been having recently.

If it was not a dream, he could do whatever he wanted.

If it was a dream, then he would have to be more cautious. When it was time to step outside the chessboard, he had to do so.

With that thought, Xue Nianbing's figure flashed as he disappeared into the dense forest, heading in the very direction Huo Yuhao's group had left.

He wanted to take a look and, while he was at it, "lend a hand."

First, he would conveniently show Huo Yuhao a little kindness and lower his guard. Then, he would slowly make plans to "reasonably" deepen their relationship.

In the end, he would take in a "god" as a thug, or send a "god" in as an undercover agent.

And that depended on whether that "dream" was real or not.

Xue Nianbing personally hoped it was the latter, because the former carried uncertainty and risk—namely, Huo Yuhao's mother...

"Buzz."

As Xue Nianbing departed, spatial ripples spread through the sky.

A tall man hovered in midair. Several strands of golden hair were mixed into his black hair, and his golden eyes radiated immense majesty.

The moment he appeared, the area seemed to be shrouded in pressure. Even space itself trembled faintly.

This man was none other than Beast God Ditian.

He had arrived when Xue Nianbing fused with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and had witnessed everything.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had become Xue Nianbing's Wisdom Soul Ring.

Although it surprised him, he could not be bothered to care much about it.

They had already consumed plenty of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's energy. What remained being gone was no great loss.

What truly astonished Di Tian now was something else.

"What terrifying Dragon Clan Bloodline. It is actually several times more outrageous than even the Dragon God's. No wonder Master, who is recovering from her injuries, was awakened." A trace of shock flashed through Di Tian's eyes.

His true form was the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King.

On the continent, aside from Master, no Dragon Clan member had ever been able to surpass him in terms of bloodline.

But today, he had seen one—and the other party was a human youth.

A human youth possessing a Dragon Clan Bloodline even more terrifying than the Dragon God's was simply inconceivable.

Moreover, Xue Nianbing's Dragon Clan Bloodline was hidden extremely deeply. Unless one was a peerless powerhouse and possessed Dragon Clan Bloodline, it was impossible to sense it.

"If Master can devour this person, she will surely recover from her injuries and lead the Soul Beast Clan back to its peak." Excitement appeared on Di Tian's face.

Even knowing that Xue Nianbing would benefit him as well, he had no intention of keeping him for himself.

If he devoured Xue Nianbing, he might reach Master's level. But if Master devoured Xue Nianbing, she would certainly reach an even higher level.

Therefore, Xue Nianbing was extremely important to Master.

"This youth carries the aura of the Snow Empress from the Far North. He even has protective measures left behind by the Snow Empress..."

Di Tian saw through most of Xue Nianbing's secrets at a glance.

Although the Snow Empress had left protective measures behind, they were completely insufficient before him.

However, Di Tian did not act in haste.

His task was to keep an eye on Xue Nianbing, not abduct him.

Master might have other plans. He absolutely could not ruin Master's plans out of impatience.

"Whoosh..."

Di Tian's figure flashed and vanished into the void.

He appeared to have disappeared, but in truth, he continued following Xue Nianbing in secret, observing his every move.

In an open clearing somewhere within the Star Dou Great Forest, a fierce slaughter was taking place.

A Thousand Years Mandala Snake was surrounded by five hundred-year White Striped Wolves.

These five hundred-year White Striped Wolves were not low in age either. Most were around six to seven hundred years old, while the strongest one was already nearing a thousand years.

"Awwooo~"

A Silver Moon Wolf, whose hind legs were longer than its front legs, rode atop the strongest White Striped Wolf.

Although it was only two hundred years old, it possessed extremely high intelligence and served as the core brain of this pack of White Striped Wolves.

The reason the White Striped Wolves could repeatedly hunt Soul Beasts stronger than themselves was because the Silver Moon Wolf plotted behind the scenes.

This time was no exception.

Under the Silver Moon Wolf's command, the five White Striped Wolves coordinated perfectly.

Not only had the Mandala Snake failed to take down even one White Striped Wolf, it had also placed itself within their encirclement.

It tried to break out, but the Silver Moon Wolf anticipated it every time and sealed off its retreat.

"Hisss!"

The Mandala Snake's eyes were cold as it stared fixedly at the Silver Moon Wolf.

As the saying went, to capture bandits, capture their leader first. As long as it dealt with this troublesome Silver Moon Wolf first, the remaining White Striped Wolves would be nothing to fear.

"Aw!"

"Awooo!"

"Hisss!"

The two sides clashed again, each seeking an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.

Not far away, the three who had quietly approached watched the battle in silence from within the grass.

"Mandala Snake, Silver Moon Wolf!"

"Xiao Ya, Yu Hao, your luck is incredible. You actually encountered Soul Beasts suited to both of you at once, and their ages are perfect too."

Beibei spoke in surprise.

In the past, they had always needed to spend quite some time searching for suitable Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings. When had it ever been this easy?

"A Thousand Years Mandala Snake is very suitable to become my Third Soul Ring."

Tang Ya grew excited as well.

She then looked at Huo Yuhao beside her and said, "Yu Hao, do you see the Soul Beast riding that White Striped Wolf? That is a Silver Moon Wolf."

"The phrase 'wolves and Silver Moon Wolves working together in villainy' comes from this."

"A Silver Moon Wolf is essentially also a White Striped Wolf, but it has mutated. Its mutation sacrificed its close-combat abilities in exchange for extremely high intelligence."
