209. Failed Negotiation!

Tap!

The Scarlet King slowly landed on its four limbs, and in an instant, the spider webs on the Blood Fiend Tiger King, which had been bound by Bibi Dong, spontaneously combusted without fire.

After regaining control of his body, the Blood Fiend Tiger King slowly stood up.

"Lord Scarlet King."

The Scarlet King nodded.

"You've done your best. Leave the rest to us."

Due to the arrival of the Ferocious Beast, the Soul Beast temporarily retreated and returned to their Soul Beast ranks... The battlefield came to a brief respite.

Tap tap tap~!!!

The Scarlet King slowly led the way to the city gate of Spirit City, accompanied by two figures.

A giant dragon with a body entirely purple, and a creature with a body entirely gray, blending into the darkness, whose true nature was impossible to discern.

But Bibi Dong's brows were deeply furrowed, and she dared not be careless in the slightest.

She sensed that each of these three Soul Beast possessed a more powerful aura than any of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast she had ever seen.

When... when did so many powerful Soul Beast appear in the Star Dou Forest?

The Star Dou Forest has a long history and hides so many powerful Soul Beast, which is astonishing, but not incomprehensible.

What made Bibi Dong uneasy was that they could speak human language, had their own thoughts, and could control countless Soul Beast and organize Beast Tide in an orderly manner over a hundred thousand years.

"Humans, you have trespassed into the forbidden area of my Star Dou Forest, kidnapped the Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and even hunted down two of my Star Dou Forest's guardian Soul Beast... Speak, what exactly do you want!"

Even Ferocious Beast... and even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, can vaguely sense the aura of Auspicious Beast.

As long as the Auspicious Beast's aura remains, it means Auspicious Beast the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is still alive, which is why the Scarlet King was able to suppress his anger and temporarily cease hostilities.

Unlike the 100,000 Blood Fiend Tiger King that led the pack, it had a mission: to bring the Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, back to the Star Dou Forest alive.

These people can be killed at any time, but they absolutely cannot harm the Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Otherwise, even if these people die ten thousand times, it will not be enough to make up for the great damage caused to the Star Dou Forest by the death of the Auspicious Beast.

Auspicious Beast?

Bibi Dong had heard the name of this Soul Beast more than once, and it was clear that this so-called Auspicious Beast was very important to the Soul Beast of the Star Dou Forest.

Bibi Dong instantly recalled the strange and noble Soul Beast that the Spirit Hall had discovered not long ago.

As for the two guardian Soul Beast of the Star Dou Forest...

Bibi Dong instantly locked onto the two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in her mind.

Titan Giant Ape, Sky Azure Bull Python!

After figuring out the three Soul Beast, Bibi Dong's mind went blank.

They came looking for that strange Soul Beast.

And the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python are dead???

Bibi Dong turned her head and glanced at Ghost Douluo not far away, then immediately shook her head.

With Ghost Douluo's strength, he simply couldn't hunt down the Titan Giant Ape, let alone the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast famous throughout the continent.

···

Turning her head, Bibi Dong looked at Ghost Douluo and opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Did you spot any other people while you were fighting the Titan Giant Ape?

[Any abnormalities?]

Upon hearing this, Ghost Douluo trembled, and after recovering, slowly shook his head.

No.

Instantly, Bibi Dong's eyes turned cold, her gaze fixed intently on the Scarlet King.

"I know nothing about the Soul Beast that Star Dou Forest, let alone any Auspicious Beast."

"Take your Soul Beast and leave. I, the Pope, will forgive and forget your rudeness today!"

Let bygones be bygones?

What a joke! How could we possibly let bygones be bygones?

However, the Spirit Hall has already suffered considerable losses, and with the appearance of three powerful Soul Beast of unknown origin, Bibi Dong is worried that casualties might occur among the titled elders of the Elder Hall, which would be a huge loss.

Once this matter was over, Bibi Dong decided to defeat them one by one and make them all her Soul Ring.

"I don't know... hehe..."

The Scarlet King sneered mockingly.

Is this what humanity is like?

One minute they were fighting and holding each other back, the next they were at their city gates, and they suddenly turned their backs on me?

Unfortunately, they didn't know how important Auspicious Beast were to Soul Beast, and that there was a mysterious connection between the two. As long as Auspicious Beast had even a little strength, the Soul Beast could receive the aura emitted by the Auspicious Beast unless they deliberately avoided them.

Now, the Scarlet King could clearly sense that the aura of the Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, was within the Spirit City.

Therefore, they are blatantly lying.

They clearly know the Auspicious Beast is inside, but they just won't return it...?

···

Spirit City.

Inside the air-raid shelter's cellar, a thin, dark-eyed young man with a sinister smile mingled among the crowd, clutching a bottle tightly in his hands.

Inside the bottle were bright red blood and golden hair.

This is the source of the Auspicious Beast's aura.

This is also one of the reasons why the Beast Tide in the Star Dou Forest could be located so clearly.

···

In front of the city wall of Spirit City.

"Our Auspicious Beast are right here in your city. Since you say they're not here, then we demand a search of the entire city!"

A cold female voice slowly rang out beside the Scarlet King.

"Zi JI!"

The Scarlet King turned his head, glanced at the purple dragon, and opened his mouth... wanting to say something, but then remembered the other party's identity and held back.

Search Spirit City?

Or was it a group of Soul Beast?

Bibi Dong frowned, her expression revealing an undisguised disgust.

"Spirit City is a sacred place under the protection of the Spirit Hall. How dare you beasts search it!"

At this time, the Spirit Hall still represents justice and is a sacred place in the hearts of countless Soul Master. If it cannot withstand the pressure today and its city is searched by a group of Soul Beast, then the Spirit Hall will have no face to face the Soul Master of the entire continent.

So you mean you absolutely have to fight?

The Scarlet King was originally a fiery-tempered creature. Although it had come with a mission, the repeated setbacks had long since made it restless.

"A mere Soul Beast? Do you think I, the Pope, am afraid of you?"

Bibi Dong originally didn't want to cause too many casualties for the Spirit Hall, so she secretly gave the Scarlet King a way out, hoping it would lead the Soul Beast to retreat.

To everyone's surprise, the Scarlet King completely ignored Bibi Dong, and faced with the provocation of the Soul Beast, Bibi Dong, as the Pope, represented the face of the Spirit Hall and could not possibly back down.

Although Bibi Dong didn't want to fight at this point, there was nothing she could do.

"Prepare to die!!!"

The moment Bibi Dong took flight, the Scarlet King, Zi JI, and the Yao Ling who had been barely noticeable all stirred.

Bang!

Another great battle is about to break out. Bibi Dong fights the Scarlet King head-on. Perhaps because he had exhausted too much energy fighting Long Xiaoyao before, he was at a disadvantage the moment he started fighting Bibi Dong.

After a fierce exchange of blows, more than a dozen moves later, Bibi Dong had a clear understanding of the Scarlet King's strength, and at the same time, a strong killing intent surged within her.

···

"Seventh Soul Skill, Death Spider Emperor True Body!"

"Eighth Soul Skill, Spider Emperor Clone!"

Two enormous spiders instantly overwhelmed the Scarlet King Scarlet King, flames erupting from his body as he gripped the three Spider Spear tightly in his jaws.

"Die!!!"

Bibi Dong seized the opportunity, raising her Spider Spear high... just as it was about to fall.

Roar~!!!!

From behind the Beast Tide, a roar resounded, followed by a golden figure swiftly attacking, three claw marks instantly descending from the sky.

Pfft!

Bang!!

With a deafening roar, blood splattered everywhere, and a gap was instantly torn open in the wall of Spirit City behind them, unleashing tremendous destructive power.
