After the Scarlet King appeared, he brought back a fifteen-thousand-year-old Purple Spirit Wolf.
The Purple Spirit Wolf was about to die of old age, so Xuan Zi was not satisfied at all.
Huo Yuhao had obtained a top-tier Soul Bone, and Xuan Zi felt that he should absorb something better.
Ideally, it would be a Soul Beast filled with resentment, dying with its eyes open and consumed by hatred.
Under such conditions, it might produce an even better Soul Bone.
Just as Xuan Zi was about to replace it with another one, he suddenly sensed the aura behind the Scarlet King.
That aura was even stronger than his own, and Xuan Zi was so frightened by Di Tian that he could only force himself to remain calm.
Xuan Zi said through gritted teeth:
"The one behind you who refuses to show himself, did you come here because you have some other demand?"
Knowing that he could not attack Xuan Zi, Di Tian simply said,
"Release the Auspicious Beast. You may leave!"
"I, Di Tian, guarantee my reputation to the outside world that this matter ends today."
After receiving Di Tian's guarantee, Xuan Zi returned the Three-Eyed Golden Lion without another word.
He brought Huo Yuhao, Wang Dong, Xiao Xiao, and the dying Purple Spirit Wolf with him.
They quickly fled the area. At that moment, Xuan Zi ran faster than a rabbit.
Especially after what had happened with Ling Xiao, Xuan Zi had developed a fear of Soul Beasts.
Xuan Zi ran a long way before finally stopping when the Purple Spirit Wolf could no longer hold on.
If Huo Yuhao did not absorb it soon, the Purple Spirit Wolf's Soul Ring would dissipate.
While Huo Yuhao absorbed the Soul Ring, Xuan Zi remained on edge, warily watching his surroundings.
