Chapter 256 Gu Yuena's Plan_1

"How did we awaken? You should be aware, shouldn't you?"

Di Tian didn't immediately answer the Azure Oxpython's puzzlement but counter-questioned instead.

Without hesitation, the Azure Oxpython answered, "It was due to the anomalies that appeared on Soul Land, with abyssal creatures invading and ultimately perishing on Soul Land which caused a surge in the world's vital energy, rapidly restoring Your Excellency's cultivation level..."

He was aware of this.

And within this earthly anomaly, he had gained no small benefits; his cultivation level had grown by ten thousand years in just three short years.

"Correct."

Di Tian nodded, "Then you shouldn't ask such a question. You must know that the one who staved off the downfall of our race was a human powerhouse."

"Hiss..." Upon hearing this, the Azure Oxpython inhaled sharply.

Although Di Tian's words were not explicitly clear, he understood.

That meant that their regent, the Soul Beast Regent, also held a considerable amount of apprehension towards the Thunder Emperor who saved Soul Land.

Faced with the situation where soul beasts were being hunted by human Soul Masters, she had to react, yet she couldn't afford to react too violently.

Simultaneously, enlightenment struck him; no wonder Di Tian had just mentioned that the movements of the Aquipeia Forest were enough to warrant the arrival of human powerhouses.

From beginning to end, the regent never intended to wage war against humans... instead, she desired a negotiation.

"There are some things you don't understand. I felt something during that war three years ago.

Even though I was far away and couldn't see clearly, I could confirm that the one battling the Abyssal Sage King had a strength that rivaled a God King of the Divine Realm; I would only be able to fight him when I was at full victory..."

"It's my incompetence, to watch as my people are oppressed and still be powerless to resist..."

Suddenly, the woman in white seated upon the throne finally spoke up.

This was the first time the Azure Oxpython heard her voice.

It was cold to the extreme.

Chilling to the core.

"Hmph!"

Noticing the change in the Azure Oxpython's expression, Di Tian's face suddenly turned cold as ice.

In his view, the Azure Oxpython's behavior was a grave offense that required severe punishment.

"Regent, Di Tian, I had no intention of offending..."

How could the Azure Oxpython fail to grasp the situation before him?

Realizing the mistake in his words, he hastily pressed his gigantic head against the ground to admit his fault.

Even his massive body began to tremble.

Could he not be nervous?

Any one of these beings could easily slay him.

"Affronting the regent, how could I let you off lightly?"

Di Tian's angry voice rose as he casually waved his hand, sending a golden ray of light like a long whip, brutally lashing against the Azure Oxpython.

With a slap.

The Azure Oxpython's thick scale armor instantly shattered, and blood splattered everywhere.

The intense pain caused the Azure Oxpython to convulse even more fiercely.

But he didn't dare to make a sound.

For he knew, the more he begged for mercy, the worse his fate would be.

Yet even then, Di Tian still felt unsatisfied, and raised his hand once more.

"Di Tian, stop," the woman in the white dress intervened.

Upon hearing this, Di Tian immediately lowered his hand and obediently stood to the side.

At this moment, the woman in white continued, "Azure Oxpython, I know you are resentful. But you must see the current situation clearly: our Soul Beast Clan is in decline, and it is not yet time to seek mutual destruction with the human race.

But this is only temporary. In the future, the plight of our Soul Beast Clan will definitely not be as it is now."

"I understand the regent's painstaking efforts..." Azure Oxpython, having been on the receiving end of a vicious beating, dared not utter any irrelevant words.

He had learned his lesson.

In the presence of this regent, one should not say what should be said, nor what should not be said.

He would only answer what he was asked, any more than a punctuation mark was a sin.

"You mentioned a person from the human race, who killed a hundred-thousand-year Titan Ape and then coerced a hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Charm Rabbit into sacrifice?" the woman in the white dress asked languidly.

"Yes, regent, the matter is absolutely true. That person's actions were vile, causing immeasurable harm to our Soul Beast Clan and his actions were an outright provocation to the dignity of our Soul Beast Clan..." Azure Oxpython, bringing up the matter, was overcome with emotion.

The deaths of Er Ming and Xiaowu were something he could not let go of, no matter what.

"What's the name of that human?"

"Answering the regent, his name is Qin Xiao."

"Qin Xiao?" The woman in white slightly furrowed her brow upon hearing this, "This person shares the same name as the Thunder Emperor mentioned by the Soul Masters..."

"Please be assured, regent, the two are definitely not the same person. That Qin Xiao was just at the Titled Douluo Level three years ago, and couldn't possibly have reached a rank comparable to a Divine King, right?"

After listening to the Azure Oxpython, the woman in white gently tapped the armrest with her hand, "What you say does make sense..."

"This person cannot be tolerated. When the human powerhouses arrive, I will have them hand him over to you to avenge your grievances."

Azure Oxpython instantly became ecstatic, continuously knocking his head against the ground, "Thank you, regent! Thank you, regent!"

He was almost incoherent with excitement.

After all these years, the chance to avenge Er Ming and Xiaowu had finally come.

...

On the other side.

Thunder Emperor City.

Council Hall.

At this moment, Qiandaoliu, Liu Erlong, Ning Fengzhi, the Star Luo Retired Emperor, and Poseissi, five individuals, sat in their designated seats, each with a different expression, but none of them speaking.

For the Douluo Federation's five council members to gather was a rare sight.

The last time so many council members were present was over two years ago, at the first Council Hall meeting, when six council members were assembled.

Afterward, Emperor Qinghe disappeared without a trace, with only the occasional letter sent back saying he was doing well and not to worry.

Liu Erlong was busy with child-rearing, and the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan had left the handling of major and minor matters to Yu Luomian.
