—------------------—
When the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape broke free from the poison formation, Dugu Bo had already disappeared.
They looked at the black water on the ground and the empty branches, their eyes filled with despair and anger.
"Little Mai-sister..."
The Titan Ape fell to his knees and slammed his fists into the ground, shaking the surrounding trees.
The Azure Bull Python stared intently at the direction outside the forest, its slender pupils filled with cold murderous intent - they would never let go of the person who kidnapped Xiao Wu!
At this time, outside the Xingdou Great Forest, Liu Tianfeng was carrying Xiao Wu and running quickly, and soon met up with Dugu Bo who had caught up with him.
"Did you succeed?"
Dugu Bo asked.
Liu Tianfeng nodded and shook Xiao Wu on his shoulder:
"Got it. Let's hurry back to Barak City to avoid any further delays."
The two men did not stop and sped up towards the city of Barak.
What they didn't know was that behind them, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were gathering the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, preparing to launch a beast tide to rush out of the Star Dou Great Forest and rescue Xiao Wu.
Liu Tianfeng and Dugu Bo rushed all the way and returned to the capital of the Barak Kingdom almost without touching the ground.
As soon as they stepped into the palace, Xue Tianxing, who was practicing in the martial arts field, keenly captured the breath of the two people, and also vaguely sensed a trace of Xiao Wu's soul power fluctuations.
Xue Tianxing immediately stopped and walked quickly towards the meeting hall where his father Xuezhe was.
The moment Xue Tianxing pushed open the door of the main hall, he saw an exciting scene:
Father Xuezhe sat on the throne, an uncontrollable smile on his face; Liu Tianfeng sat on the other side, holding a soul chain that bound Xiao Wu in his hand; Dugu Bo twirled his beard, a satisfied glint in his eyes.
Xiao Wu, who was tied to a stone pillar in the hall, was glaring at everyone in the hall with her cheeks flushed red.
"Xue Tianxing! You despicable villain! You actually sent people to arrest me!"
When Xiao Wu saw Xue Tianxing coming in, her pent-up anger instantly erupted, and her mouth was full of abuse towards Xue Tianxing. She even shouted at him:
"If you have the guts, just let me go and fight me fair and square! You're no hero if you resort to such despicable tactics!"
"presumptuous!"
Xuezhe's face darkened, and without waiting for Xue Tianxing to speak, he released his soul power, and an invisible force hit Xiao Wu hard.
Xiao Wu groaned, her vision went dark, and she fainted instantly.
Xue Tian walked forward, his eyes swept over the unconscious Xiao Wu, then turned to Liu Tianfeng and Dugu Bo, his tone filled with concern:
"Grandpa Liu, Old Man Dugu, did you capture Xiao Wu? Was the process smooth? Were we discovered by people from other forces?"
What he was most worried about was the news leaking out. After all, the transformation of a hundred thousand year old soul beast was too tempting. Once it was exposed, the Barak Kingdom would surely become the target of public criticism.
Liu Tianfeng smiled and nodded, then told the whole story of what happened in the Xingdou Great Forest:
"Don't worry, Tianxing. Are you still worried about what we do? In the Xingdou Great Forest, we not only eliminated those forces that coveted Xiaowu, but also had Brother Dugu poison all the witnesses to silence them. We definitely didn't leave any survivors."
Dugu Bo also added:
"My Jade Phosphorus Snake Venom and Bloody Swan's Kiss left not even a bone of those people. Even if someone went to investigate the Star Dou Great Forest, they wouldn't find any clues."
After hearing this, Xue Tianxing felt relieved and a relieved smile appeared on his face. He bowed to Dugu Bo and said sincerely:
"This time, I am truly grateful to you, Old Master Dugu. Don't worry, we in the Barak Kingdom are true to our word and will never go back on our word about the 100,000-year spirit bone we promised you. And when I become strong enough in the future, I will personally help Sister Yanyan hunt for her ninth spirit ring. I guarantee it will be the most suitable spirit ring for her!"
He had already made up his mind - isn't the Azure Bull Python from the Star Dou Great Forest the best choice?
Not only is it a hundred thousand year old soul beast, it is also compatible with Dugu Yan's Green Phosphorus Snake martial soul. When the time comes, letting Dugu Yan absorb the Sky Blue Bull Python's soul ring can not only fulfill his promise, but also prevent the Sky Blue Bull Python from becoming Tang San's soul ring as in the original work, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
At this moment, a sudden urgent announcement came from outside the hall:
"Your Majesty! Urgent military information!"
Xuezhe's expression changed slightly, and he quickly winked at the guard beside him.
The guard immediately stepped forward and opened the secret door on the ground next to the throne - it was a secret room specially used to detain important prisoners.
Xuezhe personally stepped forward, picked up the unconscious Xiaowu, carefully placed her in the secret room, then closed the secret door and restored peace to the hall.
After doing all this, he shouted outside the temple:
"Come in!"
An armored guard quickly walked into the hall, knelt on one knee, and reported in a panic:
"Your Majesty, we've just received urgent news from the border. A massive beast tide has erupted within the Star Dou Great Forest! According to spies, two hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts have appeared within the tide and are now charging towards the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Their destination is unknown!"
"What?!"
Xuezhe's pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously looked at Liu Tianfeng and Dugu Bo.
Xue Tianxing seemed very calm. He waved his hand, asked the guards to withdraw, and then said:
"Don't be surprised. This is probably the work of the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Ape. Xiao Wu is their companion, and now we've captured her. They're launching a beast tide, obviously hoping to find Xiao Wu and rescue her."
Dugu Bo heard this and snorted disdainfully:
"They're just two frustrated soul beasts. What's there to be afraid of? My Jade Phosphorus Snake venom might not be able to kill a hundred-thousand-year soul beast instantly, but it's more than enough to deal with those thirty-thousand-forty-thousand-year soul beasts that have joined in the fun. If I take action, I guarantee those soul beasts will never return!"
Liu Tianfeng also nodded, with a shrewd look in his eyes:
"That's right. And the situation is different now. We don't have to face those two hundred thousand year old spirit beasts alone. The beast tide erupted in the Star Dou Great Forest. Such a big commotion must have been known to the Heaven Dou Empire, the Xing Luo Empire, and the Spirit Hall."
Liu Tianfeng paused and continued his analysis:
"The beast tide is a huge threat to human forces, and those countries and sects will definitely not sit idly by.
By then they will definitely send troops to suppress them, and what the two hundred thousand year old soul beasts will have to face is not just us two Titled Douluo, but all the powerful humans in the entire Douluo Continent.
No matter how powerful they are, they can't withstand the siege of so many forces!"
After Xuezhe heard this, the worry on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by excitement:
"So, not only do we not have to worry about those two soul beasts coming to us, but we can also take the opportunity to harvest a wave of soul bones?"
