"Hm?"
More experts?
Everyone was stunned, including Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong.
Their spiritual powers were equally immense, and they were paying attention to the movements within Heaven Dou City, but they hadn't detected anything unusual.
Their expressions became more serious.
Qian Daoliu couldn't help but directly transmit a message to Li Yu: "Kid, what is going on? Are there really more experts?"
He both hated and loved this son-in-law of his.
There was nothing he could do; his precious granddaughter had been taken away, but the problem was, she was heading toward someone else.
Yet, when it came to strength and talent, he had to admit that his granddaughter was truly lucky to have found a man like this.
At this moment, by reaching out to Li Yu, Qian Daoliu was showing that over time, he had fully accepted Li Yu and, deep down, had already regarded him as his grandson-in-law.
Although, he wasn't willing to openly admit it.
Moreover, today, with his appearance here and the congratulatory words he spoke, it further confirmed this point.
"Hmm?" In response to Qian Daoliu transmission, Li Yu was also quite surprised.
But he didn't respond, because the answer had already emerged on its own.
"After all this time, I never thought that Miss Li Yu would have come this far." A carefree laugh sounded.
Then, a middle-aged man dressed in black, with an unusually handsome and exotic appearance, along with a woman dressed in a green gown and wearing a veil, exuding an extraordinary aura, suddenly appeared in mid-air.
They both smiled, not at all intimidated by the fact that eighteen Title Douluo were standing in the same place.
Moreover, what startled everyone more was that the woman, while exuding an aura comparable to that of an Ultimate Douluo, had a gentle, non-threatening energy, clearly being a soul master specializing in healing.
However, the man had no energy leaking from his body at all, and even Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong couldn't precisely gauge his power.
Who were these two?
Since when had such powerful beings appeared on the continent?
And based on their previous conversation, it seemed that these two actually knew Li Yu!
How did Li Yu know them? What kind of relationship did they have with him? Were they enemies or allies?
Everyone was filled with unease.
Even 'Xue Qinghe' was the same.
Li Yu had not shared anything with 'Xue Qinghe' about the sealed Star Dou Forest space, where the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian and others were involved.
But now was clearly not the time for explanations.
"To get this far, I must thank Lord Di Tian!" Li Yu casually responded, adding the word "Lord," but everyone could hear the sarcasm in his voice.
Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and the others had different concerns.
Di Tian?
What an arrogant name.
"This is true. If I hadn't intervened, you would never have had the chance to obtain that insect's soul ring. A million-year soul beast's soul ring is truly an unimaginable treasure for you humans. You really should thank me," Di Tian said, shrugging casually, accepting Li Yu "gratitude" openly.
At these words, everyone present was stunned into silence.
A million-year soul beast!
Such an existence actually existed!
Wait...
Their gazes all turned toward Li Yu surrounding area, at the clearly different ninth soul ring, which appeared platinum, interwoven like jade threads.
Could this be the soul ring from a million-year soul beast?!
No wonder it radiated such authority!
Everyone now understood, and their understanding was instant.
However, Qian Daoliu and the other Title Douluo quickly recovered their focus and noticed the four words in Di Tian speech—"you humans."
What did that mean?
Could it be that these two weren't even human?!
Soul beasts?
What level of soul beast could possess such power?
Their pupils contracted, their bodies tensed, and the air seemed to grow heavy, as though they were preparing for a war about to break out.
Li Yu naturally noticed the changes in everyone.
Although all these people were standing on his side, and the soul masters from Spirit Hall could even be considered his "family," he understood that this was all just a show. He wasn't that naïve.
But since others had made such a good show, he naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch everyone walk to their deaths.
So, he released a slight bit of his aura, and the power of his Life Domain silently spread to everyone, quietly calming them.
At the same time, he smiled and said, "Indeed, if it weren't for the generosity of the Beast God, I wouldn't have obtained such a treasure."
Beast God!
Di Tian, Beast God?
Everyone's pupils constricted again, their bodies tensing even further. But at the same time, they realized just how terrifying this man before them was.
God!
This was not a title just anyone could claim.
Of course, they didn't believe that the man before them was truly a "God," but he was definitely no ordinary being.
Then, they realized something else.
The way Li Yu remained calm and indifferent in front of this Beast God and spoke so casually—did this mean that Li Yu had also reached the threshold of "Godhood" and had the same level of power as this Beast God, Di Tian?
Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong had a deeper understanding.
One was the protector of the "God" inheritance, and the other was the inheritor of the "Rakshasa God" position. Both were capable of exerting power at the "half-god" level.
What kind of strength could someone have to make them both unsure?
Clearly, it couldn't be a "God."
There was only one possibility—Beast God Di Tian had already attained "half-god" level power.
And the Beast God, the Beast God, evidently, this Beast God, who had "half-god" level power, was actually a soul beast!
The woman beside him, who also exuded an Ultimate Douluo-level aura, was, naturally, also a soul beast!
Then, the question arose: where did these two powerful soul beasts come from?
"If possible, I would like to retrieve it…" Di Tian raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that this human was truly interesting. He was able to have such a conversation and maintain such a serious demeanor; it was quite amusing.
"That's not possible," Li Yu directly interrupted.
Then, with a sweeping glance, he said lightly, "Since Lord Di Tian has brought only Bi Ji with him today, I assume you're not here to fight me. If you have something to say, feel free to speak."
Bi Ji?
The humans present now focused on these two words, wondering what kind of soul beast Bi Ji was.
"You know my name?" Bi Ji blinked, looking at Li Yu with some surprise. Her pleasant voice seemed to bring a refreshing, spring-like sensation to everyone.
Di Tian also raised an eyebrow.
When Li Yu entered the Star Dou Sealing Space previously, Bi Ji was not among the "people" there.
How did Li Yu know Bi Ji's name?
"When Lord Bear discovered me, I had already been there for quite some time. Knowing your names isn't that strange, is it?" Li Yu naturally couldn't show any weakness and had already prepared his response.
"I see," Bi Ji said, suddenly understanding.
Di Tian then directly spoke, "We have two matters to discuss."
