An all-sweeping might suddenly erupted from Di Tian, its immense force throwing the surrounding snow high into the air and sweeping out a vast white haze.
Only then did the Far North soul beasts, who had grown feverish upon hearing the Auspicious Beast's name, calm down. They gazed in awe at the furious Di Tian, while Huo Yuhao, the Snow Empress, and the others at the front remained unmoved.
"All those of the Far North, withdraw." At Huo Yuhao's quiet command, the Far North soul beasts slowly drew back, leaving ample space for Di Tian and the Snow Empress, though their anxious gazes remained fixed on the center.
Huo Yuhao had never been a leader who liked sending subordinates to wear down an enemy's fighting strength through sheer numbers. Whether his subordinates were humans or soul beasts, he always preferred speaking directly to the opposing leadership.
Di Tian spread his dragon wings wide, shielding Huo Qiu'er behind him as he stared venomously at Huo Yuhao. "I should have guessed your intentions long ago. The Auspicious Beast embodies the fortune of our Star Dou Great Forest. And you-it was you despicable humans who polluted her mind."
"I don't know what tricks a human like you used to deceive the Far North, but dreaming of stealing the fortune of my Star Dou Great Forest? Delusional!"
The condition Huo Yuhao and the Snow Empress had proposed had already crossed his bottom line. No matter what, he could never allow the Auspicious Beast to be handed over to the Far North.
His willingness to compensate them with some heavenly materials and earthly treasures was already a concession to the Snow Empress. Now they wanted to open a lion's maw and demand more? Did they really think the Star Dou Great Forest was a fool
