Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin

Chapter 41: Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin

At night, beneath a sky scattered with stars, a campfire burned in a picturesque little grove somewhere on the Douluo Continent. Two men and a woman sat cross-legged beside it.

Both men were tall and looked quite alike. One was younger and high-spirited, while the other wore a beard and appeared more composed. He was clad in leather clothing bearing the Clear Sky Sect's emblem, which wrapped around his sturdy bronze-colored muscles.

They were Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, the Haotian Twin Stars. This was their third year of traveling and training away from home, with two years remaining before the five-year period Tang Zhen had set for them to return to the Clear Sky Sect.

Over the past three years, the Haotian Twin Stars had improved rapidly, especially Tang Hao. In just three years, his cultivation had reached level 82. Tang Xiao had likewise reached level 87 and would likely break through to become a Titled Douluo before long.

The two held large bowls of wine, with a jar placed beside them. A year ago, these two bold men would have simply lifted the jars and drunk straight from them. As for why they had suddenly become so refined, the answer lay in their eyes—in the blue figure by the campfire.

The woman wore light-blue high heels, and above her long, perfect legs was a blue-and-gold dress with a high slit that faintly revealed her safety shorts.

Further up, above her full curves, was an exquisite face beautiful beyond mortal comparison. Her azure eyes were as flawless as blue crystals. Her name was Ah Yin.

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao had met her during the second year of their travels. The three had then journeyed together, sworn brotherhood, and traveled across the continent.

Where Ah Yin sat, clumps of Blue Silver Grass grew. Unlike the Blue Silver Grass found everywhere on the continent, these were not merely blue; golden patterns ran across them.

More than that, with Ah Yin at the center, the entire patch of grass was covered in blue-and-gold Blue Silver Grass. Around her, a transparent, invisible domain flickered in and out of existence.

This was Ah Yin's innate domain, the Blue Silver Domain. It could stimulate the growth of Blue Silver Grass, and by borrowing its power, nothing within a radius of several hundred meters could escape Ah Yin's eyes.

Ever since Ah Yin had begun traveling with the Tang Xiao and Tang Hao brothers, her domain had remained active at all times. Tang Hao had once asked why she continuously consumed Soul Power to maintain it. Ah Yin had answered that she was currently only a Soul King, and keeping her domain active helped cultivate her Soul Power. The power she consumed could also be replenished by absorbing the strength of Blue Silver Grass.

By rights, Tang Xiao should have already broken through to become a Titled Douluo. During the first two years, he and Tang Hao had traveled through Soul Beast Forests, hunting Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts for Soul Bones. Because Tang Hao's cultivation had been lower, Tang Xiao had deliberately yielded the opportunities to him.

Tang Hao now had all six Soul Bones, while Tang Xiao did not. Tang Hao had originally wanted to continue hunting Soul Beasts to help Tang Xiao fill all six Soul Bone slots, but for some reason, Tang Xiao had firmly opposed it. Thus, the matter had been dropped.

"Come on, cheers!" x3

The three bowls clinked together. Two gave off the fragrance of wine, while the remaining bowl emitted a fresh aroma.

The fresh aroma naturally came from Ah Yin's bowl. Clear Sky Sect disciples could drink tremendously, and Tang Xiao and Tang Hao could down a thousand cups without getting drunk. Ah Yin simply could not keep up with them.

After drinking half a bowl, Ah Yin's expression suddenly froze.

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, who had been watching Ah Yin closely, noticed something was wrong with her expression and immediately asked, "Third Sister, what is it? Did something happen?"

Ah Yin's pleasant voice rang out. "Brother Xiao, Brother Hao, my domain was just disturbed. Someone has come here, but I... can't sense that person."

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao exchanged a glance and rose to their feet at the same time, their brows furrowing. They knew better than anyone how powerful Ah Yin's Blue Silver Domain was. Although she possessed only the cultivation of a Soul King, even they could not hide before her Blue Silver Domain.

"Haotian Twin Stars, it's been a long time. Your cultivation has improved quite quickly."

Qian Xunji appeared silently in midair. After sweeping his gaze over Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, he fixed it upon Ah Yin, the corners of his lips curling slightly. "If my information is correct, the outside world calls you the Blue Silver Fairy, doesn't it?"

Ah Yin met Qian Xunji's gaze, and her delicate body trembled slightly. Fear appeared on her face. He was standing in the air without using his martial soul—this man was a Titled Douluo! The Soul Power fluctuations of the Blue Silver Domain surged to their maximum, while the Blue Silver Grass in the undergrowth grew wildly and its life energy rose.

The Pope... why had he come here?

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao had attended the Seven Great Sects Re-selection Conference, so they naturally recognized Qian Xunji.

Seeing that Qian Xunji had come for Ah Yin and was staring directly at her, Tang Xiao suddenly felt a sense of danger rise within him. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Holiness the Pope, why have you come here? Our Clear Sky Sect has never offended Spirit Hall."

Qian Xunji said blandly, "I naturally know that. Why I have come here—shouldn't you, Tang Xiao, know that best? Your Soul Bones aren't complete yet, are they?"

Tang Xiao felt a chill run through his body at those words, and cold sweat seeped onto his face. "Your Holiness the Pope, my Soul Bones are naturally not complete. Soul Bones are such rare treasures that an ordinary Titled Douluo would already be satisfied with just one. Even though I was born into the Clear Sky Sect, obtaining Soul Bones is no easy matter."

Tang Hao also grew more nervous, believing that Qian Xunji had come to punish them for slaughtering Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Bones. Publicly, the soul master world absolutely forbade wanton slaughter of Soul Beasts. Soul Beast resources were limited; if they were slaughtered indiscriminately, what would future generations use for Soul Rings? Moreover, the beasts they had killed had all been over fifty thousand years old.

If this matter got out, the Clear Sky Sect's reputation would definitely suffer a tremendous blow.

However, Tang Hao was somewhat puzzled. They had handled this matter with extreme secrecy, so how had Qian Xunji learned of it?

Qian Xunji's tone turned colder. "Tang Xiao, I have no interest in playing riddles with you. Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, stop pretending. Will you come with me willingly, or shall I give you a beating before taking you away?"

As soon as those words fell, Ah Yin's face turned pale. Tang Xiao's expression became incomparably ugly, while Tang Hao stared at Ah Yin in shock. Ah Yin was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor! A Hundred-Thousand-Year transformed Soul Beast.

What did a Hundred-Thousand-Year transformed Soul Beast mean? A 100,000 Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone delivered right to one's door!

Wait! I've already broken through to Soul Douluo. I've been around Ah Yin for so long—why didn't I see through her? Could it be because Ah Yin has kept the Blue Silver Domain active at all times? Looking at Big Brother's expression, does that mean he had known all along that Ah Yin was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?!

So that was it. No wonder Big Brother wouldn't let me casually hunt Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Bones for him. He had discovered that Ah Yin was a Hundred-Thousand-Year transformed Soul Beast and was afraid of provoking her resentment.
