Lord Loran and Bishop Saidong were startled again upon seeing the two women arrive.
Not only because of Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er's rare and stunning beauty, but also because of the oppressive soul power emanating from their four soul rings (two yellow and two purple).
The two women were surrounded by ice-blue and water-blue soul light, and the oppressive aura of their top-tier martial souls, the Ice Phoenix and the Azure Wave Dragon, caused Loran and Saidong to instinctively take two steps back to avoid their sharp edge.

At this moment, Shui Yue'er looked at Mu Ci and spoke, her tone filled with barely suppressed anger.
"Brother-in-law, what kind of soul beasts are they? Yue'er must teach them a lesson, let them know what they should and shouldn't do."
Only the blood of a few soul beasts could extinguish the raging fire in Shui Yue'er's heart.
Just a little bit more! Just a little bit more!
What a pity! What a pity!
After helping Shui Bing'er obtain her spirit ring, she has to return to Tianshui Academy for training. Who knows when she'll get another chance like this?
How could Shui Yue'er not be angry?
Shui Bing'er, standing to the side, looked at her best friend's angry expression and felt a little strange.
Shui Yue'er was usually gentle and kind, and always acted like the little sister in front of the other girls. Why was she showing signs of leaning towards Huo Wu now?
However, Shui Bing'er only wondered for a moment and didn't think about it further.
Maybe Shui Yue'er felt sorry for the victims.
Mu Ci also nodded to the two girls who came over.
"Nothing was found. There are no traces of spirit beasts within my coverage area, only some footprints left by patrolling soldiers."
You should know that the normal perception radius of Mu Ci's domain can now reach two kilometers, but even with such a large area, there are still no traces of spirit beasts.
If this were done by Star Luo soldiers, it would be fine, as obedience to orders is a basic quality of soldiers.
But this was the work of a bloodthirsty soul beast; how could it not be shocking?
Wei Ci's answer made Shui Bing'er raise an eyebrow, clearly aware of her lover's detection range.
"Brother Mu Ci, in that case, should we go out and take a look?"
But as soon as Shui Bing'er finished speaking, Mu Ci abruptly turned his head to look into the distance into the night.
"I know what kind of soul beast did this."
Mu Ci's words startled the four present, especially Lord Loran and Bishop Sai Dong.
For over a month, they had been tormented by these soul beasts, and finally, they knew what kind of beasts could do such a thing.
At this moment, Lord Loran was no longer afraid or troubled by his earlier offense, and hurriedly asked Mu Ci, "My lord, what kind of soul beast is it?"
Mu Ci's face was gloomy as he looked into the distance, clearly disgusted by the discovered soul beast. After being questioned by Lord Loran, he coldly replied,
"Wolf bandits!"
"Wolf bandits! x4"
Mu Ci's answer surprised the four, who all exclaimed in shock.
"How is this possible? Aren't Gale Wolves usually found in the central regions of the continent? This place is right on the edge of the Frozen Forest, how could there be wolf bandits here?"
Shui Bing'er found it hard to believe that wolf bandits would appear in such a cold place; it was quite a shock to her common sense.
"It's not wolf bandits born from Gale Wolves, but rather frost wolf bandits born from other varieties of Gale Wolves, specifically frost wolf bandits born from Frost Wind Wolves." Shui Bing'er was somewhat surprised; she had never heard of frost wolf bandits before, so she asked Mu Ci.
"Frost Wind Wolves? Frost wolf bandits? So there are other varieties of wolf bandits? Why have I never heard of them? Even the teachers at the academy haven't mentioned them."
Mu Ci wasn't surprised by Shui Bing'er's confusion and began to explain.
"Of course, there are other variants of the Gale Wolves, because the wind attribute itself is extremely prone to being influenced by other attributes. Different places will produce different Gale Wolves."
"For example, the one in front of us is a Frostwind Wolf, but if you go to the Southern Volcanic Cluster, you might encounter a Flamewind Wolf."
"However, regardless of the attribute, they all inherit one of the most disgusting characteristics of the Gale Wolves."
Wei Ci didn't specify what this characteristic was, but everyone present understood.
The most detestable aspect of the Gale Wolves for everyone on the Douluo Continent was their unparalleled lust. They frequently attacked human villages and passing merchants.
The males were usually killed on the spot and used as food, while the females suffered a much worse fate, being taken back to their dens by the more intelligent Gale Wolves for reproduction.
And the combination of these two resulted in the even more disgusting Wolf Bandits!
These Wolf Bandits resembled upright-walking wolves, completely inheriting the Gale Wolves' ability to manipulate the wind attribute, and possessing intelligence comparable to humans, making them extremely difficult to deal with.
In the central part of the continent, these wolf bandits are a key target. Once the local garrison or the Spirit Hall personnel discover them, they must immediately unite to eradicate them and prevent future troubles.
"As for why the academy teachers only introduced the Gale Wolf and its derivative wolf bandits to you, and not other wolf types, it's because the Frost Wolf disappeared without a trace hundreds of years ago." "
In all these years since then, no Soul Master has encountered a Frost Wolf. However, there are still some scattered remnants of the Flame Wolf in some corners of the south, but they are extremely rare."
"Only the Gale Wolf, because it is close to the Star Dou Great Forest, has a relatively large population."
Hearing Mu Ci's detailed explanation, the four people present nodded as if they had suddenly realized something.
While they were chatting, the four could hear the gradually rustling sound of a pack of wolves running in the darkness.
A faint green light appeared and disappeared in the darkness, and the silvery-white fur reflected the light of the torches on the city wall.
A rough count revealed that there were no fewer than two hundred Frostwind Wolves surrounding the city, with some even hidden in the shadows.
This discovery terrified the defenders on the city walls, and fear instantly spread throughout the area.
This fear wasn't limited to the ordinary defenders; even the recruited Soul Masters and Great Soul Masters shared the same sentiment. These were just
lowly Soul Masters from a border city; they might be able to fight one or two hundred-year-old Soul Beasts in a team.
But to fight these hundreds of Frostwind Wolves was pure fantasy; they would crumble at the first touch.
Mu Ci sensed the number of Frostwind Wolves attacking the city within his domain, and his expression darkened.
"Three wolf bandits around ten thousand years old, two ten-thousand-year-old Frostwind Wolves, dozens of thousand-year-old Frostwind Wolves plus wolf bandits, plus some hundred-year-old Frostwind Wolves."
"There are 357 in total. How long have they been hiding from this Frostwind Wolf pack?"
"Even the Gale Wolves rarely have this size. You can imagine how many people have been killed before."
