While Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan were still rejoicing over receiving the Soul Bone from Di Tian, upon hearing Di Tian's question, Zhang Lexuan hesitated for a moment before replying, "Senior Di Tian, Scarlet King has already sacrificed himself for me."
"What!" Although Di Tian was somewhat prepared, he still felt a pang of sadness upon hearing the outcome; yet another Ferocious Beast had perished.
Suddenly, Di Tian spoke up, "I still can't believe that the Scarlet King is gone just like that. Show me the Scarlet King's 300,000-year-old Soul Ring."
Upon hearing Di Tian's request, Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan exchanged a glance, and Qian Chen Zhang Lexuan nodded. The next moment, nine Soul Ring— yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red, red, and red—appeared beneath Zhang Lexuan's feet.
Upon seeing Zhang Lexuan's Soul Ring Configuration, Di Tian was instantly enraged. His killing intent surged, and a powerful pressure of Soul Power pressed down on Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan like a small mountain. He roared, "So you hunted two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast before!"
"Senior Di Tian, it's not what you think," Qian Chen hurriedly said. Before Di Tian, the strongest expert on the continent, Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan were still insignificant beings, utterly powerless to resist.
Di Tian didn't really intend to kill Qian Chen and Zhang Lexuan on the spot, after all, they had just saved the Auspicious Beast. Qian Chen hurriedly said, " Lexuan, release the Scarlet King first."
"Okay." Zhang Lexuan didn't delay. She circulated her Soul Power, and the Scarlet King's enormous Soul Power body appeared beside Zhang Lexuan.
Di Tian's eyes widened in disbelief. The Scarlet King chuckled foolishly, "Lord Di Tian, I... I'm still alive."
" Di Tian, please withdraw your oppressive aura. My wife did not hunt that many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast; all her Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring were provided by the Scarlet King," Qian Chen said, enduring the oppressive aura of Soul Power.
The Scarlet King continued, "Yes, Di Tian, the three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring of the Soul Master I'm currently inhabiting were all provided by me. She didn't hunt that many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
Di Tian then withdrew his Soul Power pressure and said, "Tell me, what happened?"
"Senior Di Tian, after the Scarlet King was severely injured in the battle with three Evil Soul Master, he was on the verge of death. He wanted my wife, Zhang Lexuan, Zhang Lexuan avenge him by killing the Evil Soul Master, so he decided to sacrifice himself to my wife. At this time, I used a secret technique passed down in my family to make him into a special kind of Soul Ring, the Soul Spirit Soul Ring," Qian Chen said.
Qian Chen continued, "This Soul Spirit Soul Ring is a secret technique researched by my family's predecessors. It was developed to ensure the long-term peaceful coexistence of humans and Soul Beast. When Soul Beast is on the verge of death, it can prolong its life through the Soul Spirit method if it wishes. Moreover, using the Soul Spirit secret technique, a dying Soul Beast can provide multiple Soul Spirit Soul Ring, which can greatly reduce the killing of Soul Master beasts by Soul Beast masters."
Zhang Lexuan and Scarlet King had both received Electrolux's instructions to keep it a secret, and they also thought Qian Chen's words were quite good, as they were beneficial to both humans and Soul Beast. Zhang Lexuan and Scarlet King had no objections whatsoever.
Qian Chen continued, " The Scarlet King, a single Soul Beast, provided my wife Zhang Lexuan with three red Soul Spirit Soul Ring exceeding 100,000 years in age, and Scarlet King soul was preserved intact. If time permits, and a method is developed to preserve the Soul Spirit Soul Ring and the soul within it upon the death of a Soul Master with a soul Soul Spirit Soul Ring, it will indirectly achieve the immortality of Soul Beast souls."
"Good, your family is quite impressive. Which family do you come from, and what is your name?" Di Tian asked.
"My family is the Angel Clan, and my name is Qian Chen."
" The Angel Clan, Qian Chen?" Di Tian murmured to himself, then suddenly thought of many things and asked, "Is it the Qian Family Angel Clan from ten thousand years ago?"
"That's right," Qian Chen replied.
"Alright, for the sake of your Angel Clan, I believe in you. From now on, you will be friends of the Star Dou Great Forest. It's a pity that your clan is no longer as glorious as it was ten thousand years ago. If your clan were still strong, this method, which benefits both Soul Master and Soul Beast, might have been able to be widely adopted," Di Tian said helplessly.
"Yes, Senior Di Tian, rest assured, if my family can become strong again, we will definitely promote this Soul Spirit Secret Technique, reduce the hunting of Soul Beast, establish a low-level Soul Beast Forest, and reduce the disturbance of Soul Master to the Star Dou Great Forest," Qian Chen said firmly.
"Alright, although I don't like your Angel Clan either, I hate the current human empires and sects even more. If you can make your family as powerful as it was ten thousand years ago, I would be very happy to see it. If you ever need help in the future, you can come to the Star Dou Great Forest and ask us Soul Beast for help. If it is within our power and does not go against the interests of us Soul Beast, we will definitely help you," Di Tian said.
Upon hearing Di Tian's words, Qian Chen instantly understood. The relationship between Soul Beast and humans is extremely tense now. Without the Soul Hunting Forest and Sunset Forest established by the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, even the weakest humans must enter the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for Soul Ring, resulting in an extremely high mortality rate. Meanwhile, the Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest are being rapidly depleted, thus deepening the hatred between the two sides.
Shrek Academy, which once had the power to change everything, turned a blind eye to its own shortcomings and only cared about immediate gains in order to protect its reputation. After Mu En's death, it never had that power again.
The three great empires were even less likely to change their alliances. If it weren't for the threat from the Sun Moon Empire, the three great empires would have been locked in a bitter struggle long ago, let alone changed their alliances.
"Alright, then thank you very much for your generous help, Senior Di Tian. Senior Di Tian, if there's nothing else, my wife and I will take our leave now," Qian Chen asked.
"No rush, Qian Chen, do you have a very powerful Soul Skill?" Di Tian suddenly asked.
Qian Chen nodded and said, "Yes, Di Tian, I do have a purification-type Soul Skill. However, compared to you, it's nothing special."
Seeing Qian Chen say this, Di Tian also felt that he had been too sensitive. It was just a Soul Skill, how could it possibly remove the continuous damage effect of the Asura Demon Sword on his master, the Silver Dragon King?
Di Tian realized he had been overthinking things and said, "It's nothing, I was just asking casually."
"Well then, Senior Di Tian, we'll take our leave now. Until we meet again."
"Okay, go ahead."
Seeing this, Qian Chen didn't delay any longer. He immediately activated the Sword Follows the Will, allowing the Seven Kill Sword to carry him and Zhang Lexuan, along with the Soul Bone given to him by Di Tian, and fly swiftly out of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Qian Chen was very fast. The Seven Kill Sword carried Zhang Lexuan all the way to the Thousand-Year Soul Beast Zone before stopping. Qian Chen looked down and finally found a flat piece of ground to land and rest.
" Qian Chen, the pressure from Di Tian's Soul Power was so strong just now!" Zhang Lexuan said, still shaken.
"Indeed, this Di Tian is probably the most powerful being on the Douluo Continent right now. Luckily, we've finally made it out," Qian Chen said with relief.
"Oh right, we rescued the Auspicious Beast, Di Tian gave us a Soul Bone. It's incredibly powerful, but we didn't get a clear look at what it is yet."
Zhang Lexuan nodded, expressing her curiosity. Qian Chen took out the Soul Bone Soul Bone, which was entirely cyan in color. Qian Chen could tell at a glance that it should be the Head Soul Bone produced by a wind-attribute Soul Beast.
Unfortunately, neither of them knew the specifics. Zhang Lexuan had a sudden inspiration and said, "Perhaps the Scarlet King knows. Let me ask him."
The next moment, the Scarlet King was summoned by Zhang Lexuan. The Scarlet King yawned and asked, "What are your orders, Master?"
"What kind of Soul Bone Soul Beast is this Soul Bone from? What is its age? Can you tell?"
