If Li Changsheng's goal had been their Soul Rings and Soul Bones, then this transaction had likely been impossible from the very beginning.
What was more, if Snow Empress and Ice Empress realized this, the two sides would inevitably clash at once.
With her ninety-seventh-level cultivation, she was still confident that she could protect Li Changsheng and retreat unscathed against the combined forces of Ice Empress and the Titan Snow Demon King.
However, once Snow Empress personally intervened, the situation would change completely.
Li Changsheng did not answer directly. Instead, he asked,
"Have you ever seen me obtain Soul Rings and Soul Bones by hunting soul beasts over the years?"
Feng Ling froze.
She had only asked casually, never expecting Li Changsheng to respond with such a question.
After carefully thinking back for a moment, her expression gradually turned strange.
Indeed, he had not.
Over the years, Li Changsheng had never actively hunted any soul beast, nor had he ever ventured deep into soul beast forests for Soul Rings and Soul Bones like other soul masters.
Yet the configuration of Soul Rings on him had become more astonishing each time.
Feng Ling's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she could not help drawing in a sharp breath.
"But if you didn't obtain them by hunting soul beasts..."
She lowered her voice and asked,
"Then where exactly did your Soul Rings come from?"
Li Changsheng did not answer immediately.
He slowly raised his right hand, palm facing upward.
The next moment, an exceptionally peculiar aura spread from within him.
That aura was filled with destruction, as though it could annihilate all things in the world, yet it also seemed to contain a sacred majesty that stood above Soul Power.
Immediately afterward, a purple-black bead appeared out of thin air in his palm.
