Farewell! Imperial Fighting Eight!

Following Xiao Wu's instructions, it retracted its terrifying aura and slowly crouched down.

"I thought it couldn't speak human language?" Tang Yin whispered into Xiao Wu's ear.

The Titan Giant Ape twitched its ears, let out a series of low growls, and fixed an unfriendly gaze upon Tang Yin.

"All Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast can speak human language; it just depends on whether they are willing to," Xiao Wu explained softly.

"So that's how it is~" Tang Yin realized with a start.

Xiao Wu then turned to introduce Tang Yin to the Titan Giant Ape: "Er Ming, this is the human I told you and Da Ming about before. His name is Tang Yin, and he is my partner and my lover now."

The Titan Giant Ape's pupils constricted slightly as it stared fixedly at Tang Yin, saying in a deep voice, "Sister Xiao Wu, Auntie once said that humans are not to be trusted!"

Xiao Wu shook her head gently: "He is different!"

While feeling touched, Tang Yin said softly, "Xiao Wu, I'm leaving."

Xiao Wu's heart trembled; she turned abruptly and threw herself into Tang Yin's arms, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"I will definitely come to pick you up." Even though he had no plan, Tang Yin had to give himself some confidence.

"I believe in you. You must not betray my trust; you must come to pick me up!" Xiao Wu said, her eyes red and streaming with tears.

"Don't cry, I will definitely come for you." Tang Yin raised his hand to gently wipe the tears from Xiao Wu's cheeks, his own heart aching intensely.

Immediately, he turned sharply and plunged into the forest with the air of one facing death.

After six years of steady development, he had finally encountered his first crisis!

"Tang Yin!!!"

Xiao Wu shouted, her voice echoing through the forest and drifting into Tang Yin's ears.

Tang Yin released his Blue Silver Domain while retracing his steps.

Under the enhancement of the Blue Silver Domain, he could avoid the soul beasts on the path and find the optimal route.

But at the same time.

He also synchronized the abilities of the Blue Silver Domain with Xiao Wu.

This allowed Xiao Wu to see him, and him to see Xiao Wu.

Even though they were separated by hundreds of meters, it felt as if they were right beside each other.

"Wait for me to return~"

Seeing that he was about to reach the limit of the Blue Silver Domain, Tang Yin paused and looked back, his lips moving slightly.

Xiao Wu nodded vigorously.

Tang Yin took a step forward, and the Blue Silver Domain no longer included Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu felt a blur before her eyes; the scene shifted, Tang Yin was gone, and only the Titan Giant Ape remained around her.

"Sister Xiao Wu, does this human already know your identity?" the Titan Giant Ape asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, but don't worry, he won't harm me," Xiao Wu said with full confidence.

The Titan Giant Ape looked at her with eyes full of doubt.

"Let's go find Da Ming. Tang Yin and I bought many gifts for you and Da Ming."

Xiao Wu took a deep breath, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then leaped up. With a few strides of her long, slender legs, she landed on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder.

The Titan Giant Ape began to sprint toward the inner circle of the Star Dou Forest.

As soon as Tang Yin left the Star Dou Forest, he hadn't gone far before a gray-robed figure appeared in front of him, blocking his path.

Tang Yin narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is it you, Senior?"

Tang Hao, beneath the gray robe and wearing a mask, stood with his back to Tang Yin and said indifferently, "You still remember me."

"Of course, I could never forget," Tang Yin smiled.

Tang Hao turned slightly and glanced at Tang Yin: "When did you find out... about that little girl's identity as a transformed soul beast?"

Tang Yin smiled: "Just a short while ago. Xiao Wu told me herself."

Tang Hao asked in a deep voice: "Then why did you send her back to the Star Dou Forest?"

Tang Yin replied calmly: "The path ahead is not suitable for her to walk with me."

He changed the subject and asked: "Are you planning to kill her, Senior?"

Tang Hao countered instead of answering: "Don't you want her Soul Ring and Soul Bone? Those are from a hundred-thousand-year beast!"

Tang Yin shrugged: "Xiao Wu is my partner; how could I possibly want her Soul Ring and Soul Bone? Even if I wanted a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone, I would hunt other soul beasts."

"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast are not so easy to find," Tang Hao said in a deep voice.

Tang Yin did not answer this question.

Seeing this, Tang Hao continued: "You just said... that you and she have become partners?"

Tang Yin nodded with a smile, "That's right, Xiao Wu and I have already pledged our lives to one another. Since she has given herself to me, I must risk my life to protect her."

The corners of Tang Hao's mouth twitched slightly beneath his mask, "Young people these days..."

Tang Yin laughed awkwardly.

It was indeed a bit early, and he was somewhat impatient, or rather, unable to restrain himself...

Xiao Wu was simply too beautiful... coupled with the rapid increase in her soul power and the top-tier quality of her daily life, her development had been exceptionally fast...

"What is your current soul power level?" Tang Hao asked indifferently.

Tang Yin was slightly taken aback, then replied, "Level thirty-nine."

In reality, he was level forty.

But...

He did not want to absorb his fourth Soul Ring just yet, so he had to lie...

Upon hearing that Tang Yin had already reached level thirty-nine, Tang Hao was incomparably shocked.

"Keep working hard."

As his voice faded, he flashed and vanished.

Tang Yin raised an eyebrow, then stopped dwelling on it, deciding to act as if the other party had never been there, and continued on his way.

After arriving at Suotuo City.

Tang Yin prepared to rest for the night before continuing his journey the next day.

Inside the Suotuo Grand Hotel.

The moment Tang Yin stepped inside, his gaze was drawn to a group of people ahead.

Eight people in total, six men and two women.

The leader was about thirty years old, dressed in green robes with a handsome, gentle face and a calm, scholarly temperament, emitting fluctuations of soul power.

The remaining seven also radiated soul power; they were clearly all soul masters.

One man had black hair, a handsome appearance, a cold and arrogant temperament, wore blue robes, and had sharp eyes.

One woman had purple hair, a curvaceous figure, fair skin, and eyes that held a hint of wilfulness and pride.

Another woman had long, deep blue hair, wore a deep blue dress, and possessed a cold, tranquil beauty, with a fragile temperament like delicate crystal.

There were also twins, nearly identical in appearance, tall and burly with dark skin, honest faces, and a heavy presence.

As for the remaining two, one had flowing blonde hair, a tall build, and a frivolous smile; the other was lean, dressed in black, with steady eyes.

Eight soul masters arriving in Suotuo City all at once, and in such a combination.

Tang Yin subconsciously took note of them.

But at that very instant, all eight of them looked toward Tang Yin as well.

It had to be said.

After the awakening of his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, Tang Yin was truly a lady-killer, appealing to all ages.

"Ahem!"

Seeing the purple-haired girl staring intently, the blue-robed youth beside her gave a light cough as a reminder.

But no one paid any mind to the girl with the cold temperament.

"I'd like a room."

Tang Yin quickly booked a room, glanced at the eight people once more, and headed upstairs.

"That purple-haired girl is likely Dugu Yan; there was a sweet scent on her as I passed by."

"The characteristics of the others also match."

Tang Yin felt restless, wondering whether he should make a move through Dugu Yan.

If he were to offend Dugu Bo directly, it would be too dangerous.
