Before either leader could speak, Xiong Jun, the most violent of the Star Dou Ferocious Beast, broke the silence.
It let out a deafening roar, then said in a sinister voice:
"Humans, are you preparing to break the pact signed a century ago and start another war? If so, it has been many years since I have tasted human flesh and blood..."
Faced with Xiong Jun's threats and provocations, both Mu En and Qiangu Qing chose to ignore them.
They all knew very well that, with Di Tian still alive, Xiong Jun, whose actual combat strength ranked second among the Star Dou Ferocious Beast, was ultimately just a subordinate.
After a moment of silence, Mu En stepped forward, his cloudy eyes brightening.
" Xiong Jun, we are not here to break the contract, nor are we here to cause trouble. On the contrary, we have come for a true future of peace between our two races."
Facing the six Ferocious Beast lined up in a row, he seemed to be reborn from the brink of death. The waning energy that had surrounded his life essence was dispelled by an extremely powerful aura of light, and his aura seemed to have returned to its peak.
Upon hearing this, Xiong Jun snorted coldly and was about to mock him when he saw a flash of golden light in Mu En's eyes again. Then, a phantom of Bright Holy Dragon with a diameter of a thousand meters soared into the sky behind Mu En, accompanied by another terrifying aura that was even slightly stronger than Mu En's.
The two energies merged and directly impacted Xiong Jun's sea of consciousness. His massive body trembled slightly, and Xiong Jun swallowed back the words that were already on the tip of his tongue.
After Xiong Jun calmed down, Mu En turned his gaze to Di Tian and then said softly:
" Di Tian, it's been a long time."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian, who was positioned at the very center of all the Ferocious Beast, slightly shifted his gaze.
His cultivation of over 800,000 years made him virtually invincible, and his vision was also almost at its pinnacle.
He could tell Mu En's current state almost instantly. In human terms, this state was called a "last gasp," a state that one enters during the brief period before death when one's life force briefly rekindles.
Even though Mu En's life was coming to an end, Di Tian still dared not relax.
Compared to the Dragon God Douluo in his prime, he was actually more wary of Mu En in this state, because no one knew what Mu En was capable of doing in this state.
"Dragon God Douluo Mu En, and this one..." Di Tian's eyes looked at Qian Gu Qing, clearly understanding Qian Gu Qing's strength. "I don't know your purpose in coming to the Star Dou Great Forest, but according to the contract from a hundred years ago, your blatant incursion into the Star Dou Great Forest gives me ample reason to keep you here."
Faced with Di Tian's threat, Mu En simply smiled and then said:
" Di Tian, we have no intention of offending the authority of the Star Dou Great Forest, nor do we intend to repeat the great disaster of a hundred years ago. You should be able to see that I am old and about to die. As the saying goes, a dying man's words are good. The reason I led this team to the Star Dou Great Forest is to show you a product called Soul Spirit. And it is Soul Spirit product that absolutely has the potential to bring our two races into lasting peace!"
"I can guarantee you this with my Martial Soul and soul."
Soul Spirit?
Upon hearing this, a sense of doubt arose in the hearts of the Ferocious Beast of the Star Dou.
Undeniably, Mu En's words had an effect.
He was the strongest of the previous era, having encountered and fought with many Ferocious Beast a hundred years ago. They didn't know much about each other, but it was enough.
Especially since Mu En is speaking in a near-death state, even Di Tian wouldn't simply ignore him at this moment.
After a moment of silence, Bi Ji, who had been observing Qiangu Yunche and his group, stepped forward and gently tugged at Di Tian's sleeve, then whispered:
" Di Tian, give them a chance to explain what this so-called Soul Spirit is. If this Soul Spirit truly possesses the potential they claim, that would be the best-case scenario. If not... then expel them."
Di Tian looked into Bi Ji's pleading eyes, pondered for a moment, and then slightly raised his hand.
Upon receiving the order, the aura emanating from the King of Ten Thousand Demons and the others instantly subsided, and even the most unruly Xiong Jun reluctantly withdrew his killing intent.
After sensing the opponent's retreat, Qiangu Yunche Che also concealed his own aura.
Di Tian raised his head and then said directly:
"Since Bi Ji has spoken, I'll give you the chance. Tell me, what exactly is this so-called Soul Spirit you speak of?"
Mu En nodded and smiled slightly, then waved his hand. Qiangu Yunche and Qiangu Yunmei also stepped forward and stood at the front of the group.
Upon seeing the siblings Qiangu Yunche step forward, a hint of confusion flashed in the eyes of Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beast.
The reason is simple: even though the siblings' Soul Power aura wasn't too weak, their age was far too young, especially Qiangu Yunche, who looked to be less than twenty years old.
But soon, the aura emanating from the siblings caused the eyes of the six Ferocious Beast to change simultaneously.
Qiangu Yunche did not release his Soul Ring, but he released his Spiritual Power Spiritual Power, which instantly constructed six invisible bridges. One end of the bridge was him, and the other end was the six of them.
What Qiangu Yunmei did was quite simple: she simply released her Martial Soul and the combination of one yellow, two purple, three black, and two red Soul Ring, while simultaneously waking up the Golden Hawksbill Turtle that was still fast asleep.
"Seniors, if you wish, please spare a wisp of your Spiritual Power to form a spiritual connection with me. This way, I can explain and transmit information about Soul Spirit to you simultaneously."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiangu Yunche didn't care whether Di Tian and the other six were willing or not, and gave Qiangu Yunmei a wink.
The next instant, the sleepy-eyed Golden Hawksbill Turtle suddenly appeared before everyone.
In an instant, the expressions of the Ferocious Beast of the Star Dou changed simultaneously, and the one with the strongest reaction was undoubtedly the Scarlet King.
Its gaze swept carefully over Qiangu Yunche and his sister, then looked at Qiangu Qing behind them, who seemed decades younger than when they first met, and exclaimed in surprise:
" Golden Hawksbill Turtle... It's you! It really is you! No wonder you looked so familiar. Turns out, you're all old acquaintances."
The Scarlet King's voice was somewhat agitated.
It still vividly remembered what happened a few years ago, but it never expected that Qiangu Yunche and his group would change so much in just a few years, so much so that it couldn't recognize them at first glance, even though it was in a tense state just now.
Qiangu Yunche found the Scarlet King's slow reaction somewhat amusing, but still nodded in agreement:
"Senior Scarlet King, it's been several years, but you're still as impressive as ever."
