Spirit Ice Has Returned!

Zang Xin was naturally more aware than anyone of the agreement between the Tang Sect and these Ferocious Beast.

He knew, of course, that bringing six people today was breaking the rules.

Zang Xin agreed to the Shrek Academy's request not only because the boy named Huo Yuhao in front of him was the bloodline successor of the Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago.

The deeper reason was that he noticed the abnormalities of the Ferocious Beast in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Therefore, his visit this time was also a "long-planned" probe; he wanted to find out what changes had occurred here.

Despite the hostile stares from the six Ferocious Beast, Zang Xin seemed oblivious, maintaining his gentle and refined smile.

He waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Gentlemen, please don't get so worked up."

"Although I brought six people with me, whether they can take the Immortal Herb away depends on whether they can gain the Immortal Herb's approval."

After he finished speaking, the lakeside fell silent for a moment.

The Ferocious Beast exchanged glances, and their expressions did indeed soften somewhat.

It sounds like the Tang Sect is thinking of them.

But it was precisely this "thoughtfulness" that made the six Ferocious Beast beasts even more wary.

They didn't believe that the Vice Hall Master of the Tang Sect would actually hand over the decision-making power to them after making a special trip.

Sure enough, Zang Xin turned slightly to the side and beckoned behind him. "Yuhao, come here for a second."

Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback. He stepped forward and walked to Zang Xin's side.

Zang Xin gently placed his hand on Huo Yuhao's shoulder, then turned to the six Ferocious Beast and said, "Gentlemen, I've brought an acquaintance with me this time."

Upon hearing this, the gazes of the six Ferocious Beast instantly fell upon Huo Yuhao.

According to the agreement between the Tang Sect and the Ferocious Beast of the Ice and Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, they can only see humans coming about once every hundred years.

The boy in front of them looked to be no more than a teenager. No matter how they calculated it, they couldn't possibly Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

But just as the six gazes shifted from Zang Xin and focused on Huo Yuhao's face, an inexplicable and strange feeling gripped them simultaneously.

The expressions of the several Ferocious Beast changed almost simultaneously; they seemed to have indeed seen this boy before.

Just as everyone was still caught up in their own doubts, a sharp cry of surprise suddenly rang out from behind the man in purple.

"It's him... it's him! He's back!"

All eyes turned to the direction of the voice; the one who shouted was the woman in red standing to the left of the man in purple.

She wore a long, fiery red dress, her face was stunning, and she exuded a scorching aura, clearly indicating that her true form was a celestial plant related to the fire element.

But at this moment, there was no trace of the composure and majesty that Ferocious Beast should have on that beautiful face.

Her eyes were wide open, but her pupils had shrunk to tiny dots. Her lips trembled slightly, and her outstretched index finger pointed straight at Huo Yuhao, the fingertip like a withered leaf shivering in the autumn wind.

"It's him," her voice was several decibels higher and sharper than before, carrying a hint of barely concealed fear, "It's Spirit Ice! It's Huo Yuhao!"

These words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in the air by the lake.

The six Ferocious Beast instantly pulled back a distance in the blink of an eye, their expressions changing drastically.

Zang Xin stood still, his expression as calm as ever, inwardly thinking, "Just as I expected."

These Ferocious Beast had seen Spirit Ice Douluo ten thousand years ago. Although Huo Yuhao was only fourteen years old at the moment, his appearance was already extremely similar to Spirit Ice Douluo's adult appearance ten thousand years ago, so it was normal for these Ferocious Beast to recognize him.

However, Huo Yuhao, standing next to Zang Xin, frowned slightly.

He clearly saw the flicker of fear in the eyes of those Ferocious Beast, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "Am I really that scary?"

He's just a Soul Emperor right now!

Huo Yuhao had studied his own history and knew that he had been here in the historical timeline and should have had some interaction with these Ferocious Beast.

But judging from the Ferocious Beast ' reactions at this moment, their past experiences may not have been "friendly".

When later generations write biographies of their ancestors, they inevitably resort to some subtle and euphemistic writing techniques in order to maintain the image of their ancestors.

Those less-than-honorable or less-than-stellar minor incidents that might damage one's image would be glossed over or simply omitted.

Therefore, Huo Yuhao naturally couldn't know that ten thousand years ago, the Spirit Ice Douluo almost looted all the Immortal Herb around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

The purple-clad man at the head of the group, worthy of being the "leader" of the many Ferocious Beast, was the first to calm down.

"He couldn't possibly be Spirit Ice." The purple-robed man's voice was steady and powerful. "Spirit Ice ... has long since become a god and ascended to the Divine Realm."

Upon hearing this, the panicked Ferocious Beast seemed to be gently roused from Nightmare, and one by one they calmed down.

Zang Xin's lips curled up slightly as he timely picked up the conversation. "That's right, he is indeed not the Spirit Ice Douluo."

"His name is also Huo Yuhao, and he is the descendant of the Spirit Ice Douluo who remains in the mortal realm."

Upon hearing this, regardless of what the Ferocious Beast thought, Tang Wulin and the others behind him also widened their eyes instantly.

They've spent all these years with Huo Yuhao, and they've never thought about it in that way.

But hearing what the Douluo of Emotion said, they felt it made perfect sense.

Gu Yue glanced at everyone and transmitted her voice, "Keep this secret for me!"

Seeing Gu Yue's stern gaze, everyone nodded vigorously, showing that they would never reveal the secret.

Zang Xin didn't give the Ferocious Beast much time to process this, and continued, "I hope Yuhao can obtain a Immortal Herb that is over 100,000 years old..."

He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"Impossible."

The man in purple's voice was as cold and hard as ice, leaving no room for negotiation.

"According to the regulations, you cannot take away any Immortal Herb that are more than ten thousand years old before the hundred-year period is over."

He paused, his thin lips pressed into a tight line.

When he spoke again, his gaze shifted from Zang Xin and landed back on Huo Yuhao's face.

"Not to mention..."

The man in purple looked at Huo Yuhao, his eyes swirling with complex emotions that almost overflowed. "He is also a descendant of Spirit Ice."

The Spirit Pagoda doesn't record what happened at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well back then, but the Tang Sect's secret records do.

Zang Xin had read those records, so he knew what good deeds the Spirit Ice Douluo had done on this lakeside ten thousand years ago.

He knew that his ancestor had almost completely plucked all the immortal Immortal Herb around him, and naturally understood the resentment these Ferocious Beast held towards him.

But that's precisely why he pushed Huo Yuhao to the forefront, in order to provoke these Ferocious Beast.

The gentle smile on Zang Xin's face gradually disappeared. He stood by the lake, his aura no longer restrained, like a sharp blade that had finally been sheathed.

"This matter," Zang Xin's voice suddenly turned cold, "I'm not discussing this with you!"

The Ferocious Beast ' expressions changed again, and the purple-clad man's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes blazing with purple light, his robes fluttering even without wind.

A profound and powerful aura erupted from him, colliding silently with Zang Xin's oppressive aura in the open space between them.

"Douluo of Emotion," the purple-robed man said, his voice laced with suppressed anger, each word deliberate and forceful, "Don't go too far!"

Zang Xin stared at him, then suddenly chuckled.

"Even if I go too far..." he began slowly, his tone carrying a hint of nonchalant composure, "What can you do about it?"

How could these Ferocious Beast reveal their true colors unless they were pushed to this point?

He needed to find out what these Ferocious Beast had been secretly plotting all these years.

As expected, the man in purple showed no fear.

He sneered, "This is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, the Douluo of Emotion. Do you think we've been completely unprepared all these years?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a rich purple light suddenly emanated from his body.

That light was not formed from Soul Power, but rather from the Origin Qi condensed by plants and living beings absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.

The purple light flowed slowly through the air like smoke and mist, and then a strange fragrance wafted over.

It is clear yet not bland, rich yet not overpowering, as if it has extracted the essence of all the exotic flowers and rare herbs in the entire valley and blended it into this fragrance.

The moment the fragrance entered their nostrils, everyone around felt a sense of lightness throughout their bodies, an indescribable comfort, as if every pore had been gently cleansed by spring water.

However, at that moment... the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well behind the Ferocious Beast suddenly changed.
