Threat

"Wasn't the Spirit Pagoda established by Huo Yuhao? How could it come to this?" Aromatic Silk Beauty frowned, his eyes filled with confusion.

"The human heart is the most difficult thing to fathom." Zang Xin sighed, looking at Aromatic Silk Beauty.

Watching Zang Xin's helpless expression, Aromatic Silk Beauty fell silent. After a long while, he said to Zang Xin, "Two immortal herbs, no more! And for the next fifteen years, you are not allowed to come here to obtain any more!"

"I'm afraid that won't do!"

Zang Xin shook his head, directly rejecting Aromatic Silk Beauty's condition.

"Affectionate Douluo!"

Aromatic Silk Beauty's brow furrowed. Just as he was about to flare up in anger, a single look from Zang Xin suppressed him: "Qiluo! The Tang Sect has already given you enough face! At the very least, by cooperating with the Tang Sect, you can still live here in peace! Instead of being captured by the Federation and the Spirit Pagoda for some kind of research!"

Zang Xin's words were heavy, and Aromatic Silk Beauty fell into silence.

A long time later, he stepped aside and said to Zang Xin, "Draining the pond to catch the fish is not the way!"

"I understand that principle."

Zang Xin nodded, leading The Twins past Aromatic Silk Beauty toward the interior. He asked in a low voice, "Do you think I was too harsh?"

Shrek Academy had always taught the peaceful coexistence of humans and soul beasts, and Zang Xin worried that The Twins might form a negative impression of the Tang Sect after seeing him act so aggressively.

He had already prepared an explanation, but The Twins simply shook their heads. Yun Qianzhao said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with that! Humans are the foundation of all things."

Survival of the fittest is the way of nature!

In the era of eating raw meat and blood, powerful soul beasts could destroy human tribes at will, treating humans as food. If not for the birth of the soul master profession, it is unknown whether humanity would even exist today.

Why must humans protect soul beasts now that they have become the stronger party?

Whoever is weak is right—what kind of logic is that!

The Twins' perspective on the relationship between humans and soul beasts surprised Zang Xin, but he didn't say much more. Although the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were closely linked, they were not the same organization and had their own paths of development.

Regarding soul beasts, the Tang Sect's views were not the same as Shrek Academy's.

The Twins followed Zang Xin to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. The Blazing Yang Spring and the Extreme Cold Ice Spring resembled a Taiji diagram, each radiating extreme ice and fire energy, nourishing the vast garden of immortal herbs nearby.

Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass each manifested human forms, watching the three of them.

Aromatic Silk Beauty walked over from behind and asked, "What are their attributes? Do you need me to make a recommendation?"

"No need. What I want is the Blazing Glue of the Infernal Delicate Apricot and the leaves of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass!" Zang Xin shook his head, stating exactly what he wanted.

The most powerful beasts of extreme fire and extreme ice near the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well were undoubtedly these two!

Only their essence would be of use to The Twins.

"Impossible!"

Infernal Delicate Apricot refused directly: "Ten thousand years ago, most of my Blazing Glue was taken by that guy Huo Yuhao! It's only been ten thousand years, and it was so hard to accumulate this little bit—no!"

"If it were ordinary leaves, that wouldn't be impossible! But if you want my origin, that won't do."

Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass was a youth who appeared relatively honest. His predecessor had already departed with Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, so he was younger than Infernal Delicate Apricot and spoke more tactfully.

"Little Eight, you're too naive!"

Infernal Delicate Apricot glanced at Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and snorted, "He asked for my Blazing Glue right from the start; how could he possibly be satisfied with just your ordinary grass leaves?"

Aromatic Silk Beauty frowned from behind and said, "Affectionate Douluo! There are many other immortal herbs here; can't you look for someone else?"

"The only beasts of extreme fire and extreme ice here with sufficient strength are these two. It has to be them." Zang Xin shook his head, looking at Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass with a cold expression: "I ask that you two not be stingy."

"You..."

Zang Xin's attitude infuriated Infernal Delicate Apricot. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! We have so many fierce beasts here; do you really think we're afraid of you? If you don't show some respect, don't even think about coming to our Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to take anything ever again!"

Watching Infernal Delicate Apricot's arrogant attitude, Zang Xin sighed.

"It seems the Tang Sect has protected you all too well! Do you all know that the outside world has already been turned upside down? Never mind me; even someone who has just broken through to become a Title Douluo, with the help of Four-Character Battle Armor, could suppress all of you!"

A Title Douluo possessing Four-Character Battle Armor could reach the level of a Limit Douluo!

"I don't believe it!"

No sooner had Infernal Delicate Apricot finished speaking than an incredibly powerful aura erupted from Zang Xin. He stood like a drawn sword, sword intent surging and piercing straight into the clouds!

Behind him, Yun Qianzhao and Yun Qianyue could not help but look shocked!

In all these years, this was the first time they had seen a Limit Douluo unleash such an aura in front of them!

Whether it was Yun Ming or Long Yeyue, both had always been extremely gentle toward the two of them.

Facing Zang Xin's terrifying aura, all the immortal herbs capable of human transformation looked over. Their bodies trembled, and they couldn't help but prostrate themselves.

Aromatic Silk Beauty's expression was extremely ugly. He shouted, "Affectionate Douluo! Please calm down!"

Zang Xin looked at the expressions of the fierce beasts, retracted his aura, and asked, "Well? Do you still think I was joking with you? You beasts, who claim to have ten or twenty thousand years of cultivation, can't even withstand my aura!"

Infernal Delicate Apricot's face changed, and she wanted to say something, but in the end, she was left speechless.

"Fine! If you want it, take it! It's just Blazing Glue; it's not like you haven't taken it once before! You humans love to snatch our things! I'm used to it!"

With that, Infernal Delicate Apricot raised her hand and took out all the Blazing Glue she had condensed over the past ten thousand years. When the Blazing Glue appeared, the surrounding space distorted again, and a terrifyingly high temperature radiated from it.

Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass also plucked a leaf of origin from his main body: "This is one-eighth of my origin power; it contains extremely powerful extreme ice energy! Be careful..."

The Twins stepped forward to take it, but the Infernal Delicate Apricot hurriedly cried out, "Hey, hey, hey! This is the essence of ten-thousand-year ultimate fire! If a little brat like you dares to touch it, watch out for getting burned to ashes!"

"Let me."

Zang Xin stepped forward to take the Blazing Glue for Yun Qianzhao, but Yun Qianzhao shook his head and said, "Let me try."

Hearing this, Zang Xin stopped, his gaze falling upon Yun Qianzhao.

Behind Yun Qianzhao, a Golden Sun slowly rose, and the power of the Taiyang descended with even greater heat!
