Titan Giant Ape explained in a panic.
He had heard of Lord Bear's reputation inside Star Dou Forest, which was that of a terrifyingly violent temper.
If anything did not go his way, bad things would happen.
He might even lose his life because of it.
"Just knowing is enough, let's go. This is the lord's command, and Sky Azure Bull Python is already inside."
Lord Bear urged.
"Right, we'll head over together immediately."
The lord had already spoken, so they had to go.
As soul beasts, they already stood on the same side.
"Right, the lord said that you seem to have a somewhat different relationship with humans. She wants you to forget that person. The conflict in human hearts against us soul beasts has always existed, and until it is resolved, you'd better go out less."
Lord Bear said gravely, his gaze focusing specifically on Xiao Wu.
He meant nothing else, it was simply that she was the most likely one to have walked out.
Moreover, her strength was still lacking because she had transformed and recultivated as a soul master, and her strength was currently weak as could be.
"I know."
Xiao Wu had no choice but to nod submissively.
Because Lord Bear spoke the truth, many soul beasts had died at the hands of soul masters.
Although many soul masters also died at the hands of their soul beasts, who told the soul masters to want to kill them in the first place? It was only natural for them to strike back and kill them in return.
Where was the logic that humans could kill them while they were forbidden to resist?
It was precisely because of this situation that the grudges and grievances between their two races grew deeper and deeper, reaching an irreconcilable point by now.
A quarter of an hour later, the three of them arrived at the core area, where a huge lake lay.
Seeing this sight, Xiao Wu felt some emotion, for with her status, coming here was simply out of the question.
If not for the lord's approval, she, Titan Giant Ape, and Sky Azure Bull Python would have always lived in the outer circle.
She also caught sight of Sky Azure Bull Python off to the side.
Just as she was about to step forward happily to greet him, Lord Bear suddenly dropped to one knee, and the other soul beasts did the same.
One after another, they knelt on one knee.
At this moment, Xiao Wu naturally understood what was happening.
She immediately followed suit and knelt.
If all soul beasts showed such deep respect, it could mean only one possibility: the lord had appeared.
Plop, plop—
The water of the lake rippled, and suddenly the current parted in two, a woman whose beauty defied heaven walking out from within.
She was none other than the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena!
"Greetings, lord."
"Mhm!"
Gu Yuena replied in a tone as flat as it could possibly be.
It was completely unlike the gentle woman within the sky screen.
"Rise."
Gu Yuena raised her right hand slightly, Di Tian rising in response, while those behind them all stood up one by one.
"Lord, your injuries have not yet healed. Why wake up in such a rush?"
Di Tian looked at Gu Yuena anxiously.
This world was not the parallel world in the sky screen. Here, humans and soul beasts did not yet coexist harmoniously; the ones being slaughtered were wicked soul beasts.
Furthermore, the people of the God Realm were still keeping a constant watch on Douluo Continent. If the lord were to expose herself by any chance, it would be over.
The people of the God Realm would certainly not spare Gu Yuena.
"It is fine. Only by waking can I accomplish more, especially regarding the matters within the sky screen. I sense that my injuries might find a solution through the sky screen, or perhaps through Qin Feng."
Gu Yuena answered calmly.
As for the power of the sky screen, she could still perceive that it was not something they could resist.
Moreover, only by stepping out could she accomplish many things.
For instance, finding the Qin Feng of this world.
She dared to wager that her parallel-world self and Qin Feng undoubtedly shared a very deep relationship.
It was by no means as simple as it appeared on the surface.
"How goes the task I gave you to do?"
"Replying to the lord, everything else has been settled, except for the search for Qin Feng—we have not a single clue about this matter.
Qin Feng may be inside a human city, and we cannot simply march in with great fanfare."
Di Tian quickly reported the situation.
"Is that so? I understand. I shall handle the search for Qin Feng personally."
"Lord, if you make a move, it will draw the attention of the God Realm. You must never do so."
Di Tian hurriedly advised against it.
"It matters not. Only when I attack will I draw the gaze of the God Realm. As long as I do not strike, the God Realm will not notice me."
Gu Yuena had set her mind on finding Qin Feng herself.
"Understood, lord!"
Di Tian lowered his head helplessly. He had no way to refuse the lord's choice, nor did he dare to.
"All the powerful soul beasts of Star Dou Forest have arrived, correct?"
"Mhm, the powerful ones have all come to the core circle, but the Auspicious Beast, she..."
"What about the Auspicious Beast?"
Gu Yuena hurriedly asked. The Auspicious Beast was the one who carried the destiny of their soul beast clan; if anything untoward happened to her, it truly would spell massive trouble.
"Nothing major, it's just that after seeing the contents on the sky screen, she started making a fuss about wanting to go play in the human world." Di Tian answered with a bitter smile.
Even though the Auspicious Beast was only fifteen thousand years old, she was an existence that even he had to respect.
Therefore, facing her, Di Tian could neither beat her nor scold her, and could only offer gentle persuasion.
Yet he still could not dissuade the Auspicious Beast from her desire to play.
"Just that? I am aware. I will speak with her. How many days remain until the next sky screen ranking?"
"Three days remain!"
"Wait until the next sky screen ranking concludes before I go looking for people. Di Tian, bring the Auspicious Beast here."
"Yes, lord!"
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
It was time for the ranking once again.
VIP chat room!
Dai Mubai: It's starting, it's starting. Everyone, care to guess who the next person on the ranking will be?
Oscar: How could anyone possibly guess? With so many people, Boss Dai, you surely can't guess every single one of them.
Bibi Dong: Everyone, let us now introduce the special honored elder of our Spirit Hall, @Qin Feng.
Hu Liena: Hehe, Qin Feng, hurry up and speak here on the sky screen.
Ning Rongrong: ?? What? You guys found Qin Feng?
Ning Fengzhi: Is it really Qin Feng? Earlier in the sky screen, there were many people named Qin Feng, and when we searched, none of them were the real person. I never expected you guys to actually find the real one. Where was he discovered by you?
Xie Yue: Of course it was us. Before the first sky screen began, we ran into Qin Feng.
Qin Feng: ...
Yu Yuanzhen: It really is Qin Feng? Is he the same as the Qin Feng in the parallel world?
Yu Luomian: Does Qin Feng have the same strength as the one in the parallel world?
Ma Hongjun: If Qin Feng is already a man of Spirit Hall, doesn't that mean Hu Liena is together with Qin Feng? They have the memories of the parallel world, after all.
Qian Daoliu: What a pity. It would be great if my granddaughter were here right now.
Shui Bing'er: Congratulations to the front-runners Hu Liena and Qin Feng on finally becoming a married couple after all this time.
Shui Yue'er: Congratulations, congratulations!
Zhu Zhuyun: When is the wedding?
