Chapter 544: The Three-eyed Golden Lion Falls (Subscription Request, Tenth Update)_1
The following day, within the Sea God's Pavilion...
Except for Qian Yu, who had gone to the Haotian Sect, and Qian Duoduo, who had perished in battle with an evil Soul Master, all the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion were seated in their respective places!
Yan Shaozhe took the lead in addressing Elder Xuan, who was seated at the head. "Elder Xuan, based on the observations of our dispatched students, the soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest are very unstable and often appear in groups. I'm afraid this could be a precursor to a Beast Tide!"
Elder Xuan nodded solemnly. "Hmm! It's as I suspected. If a Beast Tide occurs this time, it's very likely that it will be orchestrated by the ruler of the Star Dou Forest, Di Tian!"
Xian Lin'er's beautiful eyes narrowed. "Could it be that Di Tian has sensed Elder Mu's passing and is observing our reaction to confirm it?"
Cai Mei'er echoed her sentiment. "Very likely! Every Beast Tide has occurred without any warning, erupting suddenly. The fact that Di Tian is giving us the chance to observe this phenomenon suggests that he is either wary of something or confirming Elder Mu's death."
Elder Zhuang inquired, "Then what should we do? Should we warn the other sects and forces about the Beast Tide?"
Zhang Lexuan furrowed her brows. "I don't think that's advisable! Although we have eradicated the Holy Spirit Cult, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, the Supreme Pontiffs, have not been completely eradicated. If they were to take advantage of the Soul Masters being dispatched elsewhere and attack the other sects, it would be very difficult to resist."
"Moreover, I'm sure everyone is well aware of how swiftly the Holy Spirit Cult can convert people into evil Soul Masters! We have no idea if they have managed to accumulate a new force in a short period of time."
Xuan Zi nodded his head, a hint of approval flickering in his eyes. "Yue Xuan makes a good point. We shouldn't rush to inform other forces yet, but we must keep a close watch!"
In his heart, he thought, "Yue Xuan is increasingly exhibiting the demeanor of an Elder of the Sea God's Pavilion. Perhaps she could even be considered for the position of the next Sea God Pavilion Master..."
Upon hearing this, the other Elders of the Sea God's Pavilion all voiced their agreement, "Yes!"
...
Meanwhile, Qian Yu remained within the grounds of the Haotian Sect...
Because merely a day's time was not enough for Tang Wutong to absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and six soul bones...
Qian Yu, standing outside the Hall of the Haotian Sect, casually took out Emperor Tian's scale, which emanated a black glow, from his storage soul tool and threw it forcefully ahead...
The scale flew into the air at great speed...
But after it had traveled about ten meters, the scale suddenly vanished and mysteriously reappeared in Qian Yu's pocket...
After several more attempts, the scale still kept appearing back in his pocket or within the storage soul tool and elsewhere...
But it never went farther than ten meters away!
Qian Yu frowned, "What on earth is this Outrage? Why can't I throw it away?"
Initially, he thought it was just a mere scale, but now he was starting to regret plucking it off, as it seemed impossible to get rid of!
Although he knew from Emperor Tian that the scale could be used to sense his location, whether there were any other disadvantages was unclear to everyone...
As he pondered this, other disciples of the Clear Sky Sect cautiously approached, careful not to displease Qian Yu...
Realizing their presence, Qian Yu glanced at them, "Is there something you need?"
One of the Clear Sky Sect disciples spoke nervously, "Lord Qian Yu, might I inquire if you have the time now?"
Qian Yu furrowed his brows, "Just say what you want. What do you need from me?"
The disciple hurriedly spoke, "Well, we were hoping to ask for your guidance on soul tools. If you're unwilling, please pretend we never asked."
"If you're unwilling, we won't insist, just don't be angry with us!"
Qian Yu gave a wry smile, "Why are you all so afraid of me? I never said I wouldn't teach you. Take me to where you study soul tools."
Inwardly, he wondered, "Is the Haotian Sect now beginning to study soul tools too?"
"Yes, Lord! This way, please!"
......
Aquipeia Forest!
Two figures in black robes descended slowly from the sky, exuding a terrifying aura...
It was Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao!
Ye Xishui's voice was cold as ice, "Do you feel it, Xiaoyao?"
Long Xiaoyao nodded, "Yes! It's not far from here, and Di Tian is not nearby."
The two had been almost strolling through the Aquipeia Forest for half a day and finally sensed the Emperor beast that governed the fate of the Aquipeia Forest!
The Three-eyed Golden Lion!
Although it only possessed a cultivation level of fifteen thousand years, even Di Tian had to revere it like an ancestor!
And once the Three-eyed Golden Lion was lost, the destiny of the Aquipeia Forest would disappear. At that time, Di Tian would no longer be patient and would definitely vent his fury on all Soul Masters!
It was even possible that he would gather the strength of all soul beasts in the forest!
With that thought, the two rushed toward the location of the Three-eyed Golden Lion. Within mere minutes, they found it!
Long Xiaoyao's gaze focused on the soul beast in front of him that radiated a golden glow, its body filled with an air of nobility...
He remarked with a sigh, "Is this the Three-eyed Golden Lion?"
Ye Xishui's beautiful eyes were filled with murderous intent as she looked at the Three-eyed Golden Lion. She snapped at Long Xiaoyao, "Stop talking nonsense, Xiaoyao. It will be troublesome if Di Tian arrives. Let's act now!"
Long Xiaoyao cast a regretful glance at the Three-eyed Golden Lion and then released his Martial Soul...
...
Di Tian's eyes suddenly snapped open, exclaiming in shock, "Damn it, it's the soul power fluctuation of an Ultimate Douluo! The target is the Emperor beast."
The next moment, Di Tian reverted to his true form, transforming into the enormous Golden-eyed Black Dragon King that was several hundred meters in size!
He let out a terrifying dragon's roar and rapidly flapped his jet-black wings, rushing toward the location of the Three-eyed Golden Lion...
His scarlet eyes were brimming with intense murderous intent as he bellowed, "Humans! You dare to lay a hand on the Emperor beast! Do you truly seek mutual destruction?!!!"
The other soul beasts startled awake by the dragon's roar all looked toward the now airborne Di Tian...
The Thousand Demon King said with confusion on his face, "What is big brother doing?"
While Bi Ji, after sensing the situation carefully, exclaimed in shock, "That location, no! It's the Emperor beast! Everyone, hurry and follow!"
Hearing Bi Ji's words, the ferocious beasts hesitated not at all and quickly sprinted toward the direction of the Three-eyed Golden Lion...
...
However, by the time Di Tian arrived, he stared blankly at the lifeless soul beast lying on the ground...
It was indeed the Three-eyed Golden Lion!
And the dead beast, its body's golden light and auspicious aura had completely vanished!!
Unable to suppress his fury, Di Tian roared toward the sky again, "Humans!!! You are courting death!! To dare to sever the destiny of the Aquipeia Forest!!!"
The terrifying voice spread throughout the entire Aquipeia Forest!
And the ferocious beasts behind Di Tian, seeing this scene, already anticipated that all of them, as soul beasts, were about to launch a great battle against the humans!
And it was to be a battle to the death!
