Soul Beast Identities Exposed, You Two Can Get Lost!

Ah Yin held her right hand to her chest, clenching it tightly as she looked at Lan Lingcang. She could sense a familiar aura coming from him.

It was the aura of a fellow Blue Silver Emperor, and he also carried the distinctive scent of the Blue Silver Ancestral Land.

Moreover, when facing Lan Lingcang, she felt faintly suppressed, and that was before he had even released much of his aura!

Ah Yin understood that the person before her might be the one who had taken away all her authority as the Blue Silver Emperor.

Yet she did not harbor the hatred one might expect from having her authority taken away. What she felt more was curiosity.

She was curious how he had survived the Heavenly Tribulation, and why he had appeared here. Was he truly here just to take her away?

Lan Lingcang ignored Tang Xiao and Tang Hao. Instead, he looked at Ah Yin and said calmly, "Since I have appeared here, you should understand something, right?"

"Then tell me your choice. Will you obediently return to the forest with me, or do you plan to keep wandering around outside with these two humans?"

"Come with me. I have a way to help you resolve your current predicament."

"I..." Ah Yin's heart trembled sharply upon hearing those words. Naturally, she understood what Lan Lingcang meant by "helping her."

Ah Yin turned her head and gave Tang Xiao and Tang Hao beside her a complicated look.

Then, she took a deep breath and completely made up her mind.

"Alright, I'll go back with you." Ah Yin's voice was gentle, yet it carried a firm resolve.

After all, she had been traveling and training with the Tang brothers for less than two months in total.

During those few dozen days together, it was naturally impossible for her to have formed any especially deep bond with them, let alone one where she could entrust her life to them.

Besides, since this new emperor before her had crossed the Heavenly Tribulation, his strength had to be terrifyingly powerful.

With such a powerful emperor of her own kind present, he could naturally protect the entire Blue Silver Clan with ease, as well as protect her.

Since that was the case, there was no need for her to keep risking her life training in this perilous human world.

If a shape-shifted soul beast like her wandered around everywhere and happened to encounter some human Title Douluo, it would mean nothing but death.

Although she possessed the ultimate profundity of the Blue Silver Domain—"wildfires cannot burn it all away; when spring winds blow, it grows anew"—which allowed her to remain "undying" in desperate situations,

the price of that so-called "undying" was simply too great.

It merely meant that she would devolve again, becoming a Blue Silver Grass seed with no cultivation whatsoever.

Though she could retain her original consciousness, her hundred-thousand-year cultivation would instantly return to zero. She would have to wait another hundred thousand years before she could take human form again. How was that any different from dying completely?

"What do you mean by that?!"

As Ah Yin made her decision, Tang Hao stared fixedly at Lan Lingcang in midair, his thick brows tightly furrowed.

From Lan Lingcang's casual words just now, his sharp senses had caught an extremely grating term.

Humans!

Why had this young man deliberately referred to the two brothers as "these two humans," a form of address that sounded so out of place?

Could it be...

The more Tang Hao thought about it, the more terrifying it became. A conjecture that even he found hard to believe suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Although Tang Hao looked broad and burly, like a crude brute, he was remarkably perceptive when it came to certain crucial matters.

He was absolutely the type whose exterior was rough and rugged, while his heart was exceptionally meticulous.

Tang Xiao, on the other hand, had not thought as deeply as his younger brother. He turned toward Ah Yin with disbelief in his eyes, his voice carrying a trace of urgency.

"Ah Yin, you... how can you go with him?"

But before Tang Xiao could finish his attempt to persuade her, a sudden change erupted!

Without warning, a blue-gold vine radiating dazzling light burst from the earth beneath Ah Yin's feet.

Like a nimble spirit serpent, the vine instantly and gently coiled around Ah Yin's slender waist.

Then, the vine exerted a slight force and directly pulled her into the air, bringing her to Lan Lingcang's side.

The entire process flowed as smoothly as clouds and water, so fast that Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, both Soul Douluo, had no time to react at all.

Standing in the air, Ah Yin felt the pure Blue Silver Emperor Soul Power around her waist and looked at the young man beside her in confusion.

"You..."

"You may call me Lan Lingcang." Lan Lingcang turned his head and gave Ah Yin a soft smile.

"Judging by your reaction, you should have already guessed my identity. That's right, I replaced you and became the new emperor of the Blue Silver Clan."

Just as Ah Yin parted her red lips, wanting to ask something more,

Tang Hao below suddenly sucked in a sharp breath and finally shouted out the conjecture in his heart.

"You... you aren't human at all. You're hundred-thousand-year soul beasts that took human form?!"

At Tang Hao's words, Ah Yin's face in midair instantly turned deathly pale, and her delicate body swayed slightly.

The thing she feared most had happened after all. Her true identity, which she had painstakingly concealed, had been guessed so easily!

Oh, no. Ah Yin quickly came to her senses.

How was this someone else cleverly figuring it out? It was clearly because of what Lan Lingcang had just said; his intent had been far too obvious.

Calling them "these two humans" over and over, using wording with such a strong sense of racial separation—anyone who was not an idiot would understand what was going on after giving it the slightest thought.

Ah Yin turned toward Lan Lingcang with a somewhat resentful look, only to see that he showed no surprise at having his secret exposed. He still wore that calm and unruffled expression.

Ah Yin blinked her beautiful large eyes and asked incredulously, "You... you did that on purpose? Why did you deliberately expose us?"

Lan Lingcang did not answer Ah Yin's question directly.

With his arms folded across his chest, he looked down at the Tang Brothers below, who were facing a great enemy, and calmly corrected her.

"Yes and no."

"I am a genuine soul beast, but this girl is different. Ah Yin dispersed her hundred-thousand-year cultivation and chose to take human form and cultivate anew."

Lan Lingcang paused, a hint of amusement flashing through his eyes.

"Considering that you two humans did at least accompany her diligently through two months of training,"

"I'm in a good mood today, so I can show mercy and spare your lives. You two can get lost now."

The reason he did not choose to act immediately was actually very simple.

First, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao truly possessed excellent talent.

Following the original course of events, the two brothers would steadily break through to the Title Douluo realm in a few more years.

By then, once they had fully grown, if any serious conflict truly arose, it would not be too late to kill them then!

Killing them now would bring no benefit at all. That would be a bit too wasteful.
