Qian Daoliu's Confusion and Shock!

Di Tian's enormous dragon eyes swept over Lin Xia and Bibi Dong, then coldly glanced at Qian Daoliu, who was suspended in mid-air with his aura suddenly dropping, and let out a muffled, thunderous snort.

The voice was full of disdain and mockery, as if to say...

"Foolish humans, do you realize your mistake now?"

His enormous dragon body slowly circled in the air. Although his dragon might had not diminished, his previous ferocious fighting spirit had indeed decreased considerably. He had clearly heard Lin Xia's shout and confirmed that the other party was not an enemy.

Just then, a golden streak of light flew swiftly from afar, accompanied by a cry filled with sobs and extreme anxiety.

"Grandpa! Lin Xia! Teacher!"

It was Qian Renxue.

She had just followed Qian Daoliu's strict orders and stayed far away from the center of the battlefield. Now that the battle had suddenly stopped and she sensed Lin Xia's presence, she could no longer restrain herself and rushed over without thinking.

She appeared like a golden shooting star, instantly landing in front of Lin Xia and Bibi Dong, her beautiful face covered with wet tears and the paleness of someone who had survived a catastrophe.

She didn't even bother to bow to Bi Ji Di Tian —the enormous black dragon still exerted an indescribable sense of Pressure on her—her gaze immediately Lock-On onto Lin Xia.

"Lin Xia! How are you? Are you hurt? Did they... did they do anything to you?"

Qian Renxue's voice trembled noticeably as she grabbed Lin Xia's arm and scrutinized him from head to toe, as if trying to make sure every detail of his body was intact.

That heartfelt worry and fear warmed Lin Xia's heart once again, and she reached out and grasped her icy fingers.

"Sister Xue'er, I'm fine, I'm really fine."

Lin Xia quickly reassured her, her voice gentle yet firm.

Qian Daoliu slowly descended to the ground. The Angel Six Wings on his back had retracted their holy flames, but the golden light still flowed.

He strode up to Lin Xia and Bibi Dong, his sharp, hawk-like gaze carefully scanning their faces and bodies. At the same time, a pure yet gentle Angel Soul Power, like an invisible probe, cautiously swept over their bodies.

He was examining them, checking whether they were being controlled by a powerful mental force, or poisoned by some kind of subtle, Frisk Toxic or Curse.

It's not that he's suspicious; the blood feud between humans and Soul Beast is as deep as the ocean, an irreconcilable enmity—a belief ingrained in the very blood of both sides.

How could Ferocious Beast, especially a beast god like Di Tian, possibly turn a blind eye to a human Soul Master who had trespassed into the core area?

They even seemed... to have no hostility?

This completely overturned all of Qian Daoliu's experience and understanding over the years!

The inspection lasted for a full dozen breaths.

Qian Daoliu's brows furrowed at times and relaxed at others.

Finally, he let out a long, relieved exhale of a breath of turbid air, which was filled with a strong fluctuation of Soul Power, and his tense body lines relaxed.

The extreme wariness in his eyes finally faded, replaced by deep confusion and bewilderment.

"His Qi and blood are abundant, his Soul Power is pure and surging, and his spiritual imprint is clear and stable, showing no signs of being controlled or suffering any hidden injuries... In fact, his condition is even better than when he arrived?"

Qian Daoliu looked at Lin Xia, his tone filled with disbelief and astonishment.

"This... how is this possible? What exactly did you go through? Those Ferocious Beast..."

His gaze swept over Di Tian, who was silently suspended in mid-air with his huge dragon head slightly lowered, looking down at them, and Bi Ji was standing to the side with a gentle and polite smile on her face. Especially when he mentioned the word "Ferocious Beast", the doubt and absurdity in his tone were almost overflowing.

He couldn't understand!

Completely incomprehensible!

Hearing her grandfather's conclusion, Qian Renxue finally relaxed completely, but a huge question mark followed. She stood close to Lin Xia and looked at Bi Ji Di Tian, her eyes filled with vigilance and inquiry.

Why?

Why didn't they take action?

Could there be... an even more terrifying conspiracy?

Seeing the identical shock and bewilderment on Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue's faces, Bibi Dong felt a mix of emotions.

She understood their feelings, because not long ago, had she herself been shaken by these successive shocks?

She gently patted Lin Xia's shoulder, indicating that he should explain.

Lin Xia took a deep breath, knowing it was time to recount this bizarre, almost fantastical experience. He organized his thoughts and began to speak:

"Teacher, Sister Xue'er, this is what happened..."

His narrative begins with him and Bibi Dong venturing deep into the forest to address the Pollution Source, highlighting the appearance of Bi Ji — the Emerald Swan who controls life forces—who proactively appears to invite them to cooperate in purifying the evil polluting energy.

"Did Senior Bi Ji take the initiative to contact us for a collaboration on purification?"

Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue interrupted in unison, their faces clearly saying, "This is impossible."

Actively inviting human Soul Master to cooperate?

Or Ferocious Beast?

This is even more outrageous than the sun rising in the west!

"Yes."

Lin Xia nodded affirmatively and then recounted the shocking scene of encountering the arrival of Ferocious Beast such as Di Tian during the purification process.

When the terrifying pressure of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian was mentioned, Qian Renxue subconsciously gripped Lin Xia's arm, while Qian Daoliu looked solemnly at the colossal creature in the sky once more.

"Then, Senior Di Tian didn't attack us. Instead, after assessing the situation, he took my master and me to a place..."

Lin Xia's voice became low and reverent.

"We were taken to the bottom of the Lake of Life, the true heart of the Star Dou Forest, where..."

He paused, as if recalling that suffocating presence, and slowly uttered the name.

"We have met... the Silver Dragon King, Her Majesty Gu Yuena."

"Silver Dragon King?! Gu Yuena?!"

This time, Qian Daoliu's voice suddenly rose, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. The dignified level 99 Peerless Douluo and the Grand Pontiff the Spirit Hall had a sharp, distorted tone in his voice! His golden pupils suddenly contracted to their limit, and the color drained from his face in an instant, replaced by horror!

As the Grand Pontiff of the Angel God, he knew the secrets of the dragon race better than anyone else, and he knew even more what the words "Silver Dragon King" meant!

That is the supreme being who controls elemental power after the Dragon God splits apart, and is the true overlord of the Soul Beast Clan!

It is a forbidden name that has long since vanished into the dust of history, existing only in ancient texts and divine records!

She's actually... still alive?

It's slumbering right in the heart of this Star Dou Forest?!

The impact of this news was even greater than if ten Di Tian stood before him, causing Qian Daoliu's mind to tremble violently!

He felt that his centuries of understanding were being completely shattered!

Qian Renxue's delicate body trembled violently. As the heir to the Angel Godhood, she was even more sensitive to divine beings.

Although she has never seen it in person, the name "Silver Dragon King" itself represents a god-level personage and a power that can subvert the continent's structure! Her face became even paler than before.

Lin Xia continued her story without pausing.

He described the terrifying impact of witnessing the Fire Dragon King True Spirit grieving before Gu Yuena, a pain and despair that nearly shattered his soul.

Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue were terrified as they listened, their eyes filled with lingering fear as they looked at Lin Xia.
