A storm raged in Dugu Bo's heart.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast should have stayed properly in the Star Dou Great Forest. What was it doing at Spirit Hall?!
This place gathered the greatest number of Titled Douluo on the continent. Even the legendary Clear Sky Sect had been forced into seclusion by it, while countless Soul Masters across the continent flocked to it.
Were Spirit Hall's elders not going to step forward and deal with this?!
"All right, Ice Soul Ghost Shadow, rein it in. Don't frighten Senior."
At Meng Xuanji's instruction, Ice Soul Ghost Shadow rapidly shrank. In the blink of an eye, it became a humanoid black shadow of normal height and stood beside Meng Xuanji.
Ice Soul Ghost Shadow still had two clusters of icy-blue ghostfire where its pupils should have been. Its face lacked refined features, yet it radiated a sinister, chilling aura that made people fear it at first sight.
"Why does he listen to you?!"
Dugu Bo was completely stunned.
He had originally thought that some secluded master from the Far North stood behind Meng Xuanji, but who could have imagined that it was a Hundred-Thousand-Year ferocious beast!
Worst of all, Meng Xuanji seemed able to command it effortlessly!
Why should that be? Could Meng Xuanji be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that had taken human form?!
"Please don't panic, Senior. I signed a contract with him. I paid a certain price to redeem him from that pitch-black prison. To repay me, he naturally has to serve me."
"A contract?"
Dugu Bo understood even less.
Since when had there been such a trustworthy Hundred-Thousand-Year ferocious beast in this world? A worthless scrap of paper could firmly restrain its beastly nature and ambitions? This had to be a joke!
Cold sweat formed on Dugu Bo's forehead.
