Introducing Her Identity Like This?

After a long time, Zi Ji and Bi Ji finally saw Lin Wan'er unleash the power of Soul Prohibition again. Unable to sit still, they leaned down from the roof beam and looked toward the three elders.

Tai Yan, the quasi-Soul Emperor in the lead who had released six soul rings, stiffened. His soul rings dimmed as though they had run out of power, then turned into phantoms and vanished into the air.

Immediately afterward, the soul power within the three men seemed to have been drained dry by Lin Wan'er. Their auras became no different from those of ordinary people.

Min He broke out in a fine sweat at the sight. Beads of sweat slid down from his forehead, yet he did not dare raise a hand to wipe them away, afraid that the smiling Lin Wan'er would use a soul skill and turn him into a Soul Master too weak to truss a chicken.

"My soul power—what is going on? Min He, is this how you treat an old friend you haven't seen in years?"

Tai Yan was alarmed. Just as he prepared to step forward and settle the score with Min He, he found his body gradually stiffening until he could no longer move. The same went for the two Great Elders behind him. They could not circulate their soul power or even speak, only roll their eyes to convey their terror.

"I said, kneel."

Not long after she was born, Lin Wan'er had already been able to use Star Power to render Ferocious Beasts such as Di Tian unable to move or circulate their soul power. Now, she could naturally narrow the range of her restraining power, forcing the creatures within it to obey her commands for a period of time before they could move again.

Thus, despite their shock and unwillingness, the three elders—advanced in age and only at the Soul Emperor level—could not break free from Lin Wan'er's restraints. They were forced to kneel to the ground, their knees letting out a mournful crack.

Min He sighed. "Old friends, standing before you is an honored guest of the Agility Sect—the one who made Clan Head Bai Chenxiang young again, Holy Maiden Lin Wan'er. You spoke rudely to her, so suffering a little and facing reality sooner is not a bad thing."

Bai Chenxiang's heart stirred, and she added, "The Great Elder invited you elders here this time under Holy Maiden Lin Wan'er's instructions as well. Tonight, all inner disciples and clan members of the Agility Sect have agreed to leave the Tang Sect and join the Heaven Dou Empire. What do the three sects think of this?"

Tai Yan stared at Bai Chenxiang and Min He in astonishment. Unfortunately, his mouth was sealed, leaving him unable to speak.

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er lifted the seals on Tai Yan and the others' mouths, allowing them to move their heads and voice their opinions.

The Great Elder of the Defense Clan was the first to be unsealed. Fearing that the brainless Tai Yan would spout more nonsense and anger Holy Maiden Lin Wan'er, he hurriedly shouted, "Why should we leave the Tang Sect? You should know that the Tang Sect's previous Sect Master was Tang San, who ascended to the God Realm not long ago! Besides, our residence lies within the imperial capital! Clan Head Bai Chenxiang, please think twice!"

No Soul Master wanted to return to those impoverished days when everyone looked down on them. In particular, the Four Sects had successively experienced the Clear Sky Sect's glory and decline, followed by the prosperous and happy days after the Tang Sect rose to prominence. They were unwilling to once again follow the seemingly deranged Agility Sect in leaving the Tang Sect.

What Heaven Dou Empire? He had lived this long and had never heard of such an empire on the continent.

Moreover, as the saying went, when one whale fell, all things flourished! If their three sects did not leave the Tang Sect and instead pledged loyalty to the imperial family, wouldn't the funds and territory belonging to the Agility Sect be divided among their three sects? Still, the Breaking Clan elder only dared entertain such disloyal thoughts in his mind. He did not dare say them aloud in front of everyone unless he no longer wanted his head.

With her God-level Soraka Martial Soul, Lin Wan'er could claim second place in sensing emotions, while no one dared claim first. She easily distinguished the differing thoughts in the hearts of the three sect elders.

Naturally, she understood that others could have different opinions. However, Bai Chenxiang had been right earlier: since the Four Sects under the Tang Sect shared both glory and loss, they had to leave together in order to make Tang San fly into a rage and do something unreasonable.

At that point, the other relatively upright gods in the God Realm would not indulge Tang San, allowing a law enforcer who had been a god for less than a few hundred years and lacked a stable foundation to act on impulse.

With that in mind, Lin Wan'er walked up to the elders of the three sects and raised her voice. "Originally, I intended to explain my identity clearly to all the core elders after the Four Sects joined the Heaven Dou Empire. But considering that you elders, representing your respective sects, seem somewhat unconvinced by us, I might as well speak plainly now so that no one harbors resentment."

"Standing before you is the Holy Maiden of the Star Dou Great Forest. I am Lin Wan'er, whose status is one level above that of the Auspicious Beast. My God-level Martial Soul is called Soraka, and my Innate Soul Power is level twenty."

The moment the key terms Star Dou Great Forest, Auspicious Beast, and Innate Soul Power level twenty were spoken, Tai Yan, who had been the most aggressive at the front, stiffened and could not help saying, "How is that possible?!"

"If Holy Maiden Lin Wan'er, who made Clan Head Bai Chenxiang regain her youth, had no real ability, how could we willingly submit to her? How could we even be willing to discuss leaving the Tang Sect that very night and invite all of you old friends here?"

Min He's perfectly timed support deepened the smile on Lin Wan'er's face. She turned to the Agility Sect's Great Elder. "Elder Min He is too modest. Still, my current strength is not worth mentioning before Sister Bi Ji and Sister Zi Ji."

The moment Lin Wan'er said that, the two Ferocious Beasts standing on the roof beam knew it was time for their entrance.

Bi Ji, with her graceful figure, spread her pure white wings. She was as holy and flawless as Qian Renxue had been when she possessed the Angel God Trial Martial Soul, and she drifted lightly down before the crowd.

With her hands resting at her waist, Bi Ji, a symbol of life and youth, parted her red lips slightly. Her voice, carried by soul power, reached everyone's ears with perfect clarity and brought with it a pleasant fragrance.

"I am Bi Ji, one of the Ferocious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, clan head of the Emerald Swan Clan, a soul beast nearing five hundred and ninety thousand years of cultivation. I currently serve as the Holy Maiden's guardian and the Heaven Dou Empire's chief healer."

After speaking, Bi Ji smiled gently. The phantom of her true form, the precious Emerald Swan, appeared behind her and firmly captured the attention of the elders from the three sects, several of whom bore hidden injuries that had never been healed.

Their breathing grew heavy. It was unclear whether Bi Ji had frightened them or whether they had been moved by the healing power of the Emerald Swan Clan.

Without exaggeration, if Bi Ji were willing to stand with humanity and help treat Soul Masters, allied Soul Masters on the battlefield would find it hard even to die.

Unless an allied Soul Master sought death and instantly had a vital body part, such as their head, smashed into pulp, Bi Ji could save them without fail.

"Tch, Bi Ji, you stole all the spotlight. Then I'll have to go big!"

A crisp, commanding female voice rang out first. Then a flash of deep purple light appeared, and a ferocious soul beast dozens of meters long—its body compressed by its own power—appeared before everyone.

Everyone present immediately felt a bleak aura of death. It was a force more terrifying and domineering than the rich life force around Bi Ji, a fusion of hell and abyss.

"I am Zi Ji of the Hell Demon Dragon Clan, one of the Ferocious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. If not for the fact that cultivation matters more to soul beasts, allowing Bi Ji of the Emerald Swan Clan to edge me out, my ranking would be above hers."

Though Zi Ji claimed she wanted to make a grand entrance, she was actually rather modest in explaining her circumstances as she revealed her true dragon form, a symbol of power and beauty.

The true dragon aura that rushed at them was nothing like a dragon-type Martial Soul, which merely relied on a Soul Master stimulating it with soul power for empty intimidation.

As a result, the sect elders whose strength was not particularly high, including Bai Chenxiang and the others, could barely control their bodies. Their legs trembled uncontrollably.
