Chapter 72: Spirit Hall Learns of a Large Number of Soul Beasts Transforming
Now, with Snow Empress, Ice Emperor, A'tai, and Ice Bear King, four soul beasts at the 100,000-year level or above had joined.
Even in a direct confrontation, they wouldn't lose.
Therefore, Ye Wen was no longer afraid of Spirit Hall, but he knew that once Spirit Hall learned about this, they would definitely cause trouble. That was something he didn't want to happen.
"Kill him!!!" Ye Wen immediately had a murderous intent.
"Yes!"
The King of Slaughter was the first to flap his wings and immediately kill the human soul master.
"Extreme North! I have encountered a large number of 100,000-year soul beasts who have transformed into humans!!! Quick... let..." The soul master decisively used his soul skill.
But it seemed to have no effect. After using the skill, he was only speaking, but hadn't finished his sentence when, the next second, plop!
The King of Slaughter instantly killed him. However, after the man died, a soul power thread flew far away.
"Soul power transmission?" The King of Slaughter furrowed his brows, trying to intercept the soul power transmission, but couldn't.
Immediately, he returned and reported to Ye Wen, "Master, the person has been killed, but before his death, a human soul master seemed to have sent a soul power transmission."
"Soul power transmission?" Ye Wen was taken aback.
Soul power transmission is a way to communicate by using soul power to send one's message to another person, allowing them to hear it.
This ability is something every soul beast can do.
However, the King of Slaughter mentioned that the soul power transmission had flown to a very distant place, and it was done through a soul skill.
This made Ye Wen furrow his brows, and it seemed he realized something. "It seems we've likely been exposed and can't hide anymore. What exactly did the soul power transmission express? Tell me exactly what was said."
"In the Extreme North, I encountered several 100,000-year soul beasts who had transformed into humans!!" The King of Slaughter repeated what the soul power transmission conveyed. "That's what the soul power transmission said. He probably had more to say, but he was killed halfway."
"Several transformed soul beasts in the Extreme North, that's fine. Even if we're exposed, they don't know what we look like. They don't know what kind of soul beasts we are transformed into, nor how many of us there are. For now, we shouldn't be bothered by Spirit Hall," Ye Wen reassured, slightly relieved.
He wasn't afraid of being discovered by humans, but Spirit Hall was different. Spirit Hall was the most powerful soul master force on the continent, with countless Title Douluos.
With Ye Wen's current soul beast force, it was uncertain whether they could win, but it was certain that both sides would suffer heavy losses.
That wasn't necessary. Even if Spirit Hall found out, Ye Wen wasn't too concerned.
The main issue was that they couldn't stay in the human world peacefully. Spirit Hall would definitely cause all sorts of problems. If they knew they couldn't beat Ye Wen, they might even unite with all the human factions, including the two great empires.
After all, a transformed 100,000-year soul beast was already a huge temptation, let alone a group of them.
And having so many powerful 100,000-year soul beasts together would raise the humans' sense of crisis, potentially sparking a war between the human and soul beast races.
For all these reasons, Ye Wen didn't want to reveal the identity of the soul beasts for now.
Ye Wen stopped thinking about it and refocused. "Let's go. For now, we should leave the Extreme North as soon as possible."
"Alright."
The group continued forward, quickly leaving the Extreme North and heading to the nearest city to meet up with Na'er and Scott.
After a while...
The group arrived in the city and found Na'er and Scott. Everyone gathered together.
Seeing that Ye Wen's team had two more girls, who looked to be around the same age as her, Na'er curiously asked, "Hey, are they like me? Did Ye Wen pick them up from the roadside?"
"Hehe, they are not like you," Ye Wen chuckled.
"This one is? Another soul beast?" Snow Empress asked.
"Yeah, I guess," Ye Wen replied.
"What is her true form, what level of soul beast is she, and why does she look like a child?" Snow Empress asked, puzzled.
"Hehe, as expected of Snow Empress, you've spotted it right away," Ye Wen smiled and shook his head.
A 100,000-year soul beast carries thousands, even tens of thousands of years of life and memories. After reaching the 10,000-year level, a soul beast gains intelligence and is usually highly wise. A 100,000-year soul beast's intelligence is often similar to that of humans.
Transformation doesn't affect intelligence, so Na'er's behavior made Snow Empress feel it was very unusual. After all, there weren't many 100,000-year soul beasts like Xiao Wu who transformed into a cute, childish form.
Ye Wen explained, "For some reason, Na'er lost her memory, so to her, she currently thinks of herself as a five or six-year-old human child."
"I see." Snow Empress nodded, understanding.
"And her true form is the Silver Dragon King, with peak combat power at the god level," Ye Wen briefly explained.
This left Snow Empress and Ice Emperor in shock: "What! God-level power? A dragon race?"
"What's this god-level power?" Na'er asked, very curious.
"Oh, never mind," Snow Empress quickly covered up and smiled. "Your name is Na'er, right? I'm Snow Empress, and she's Ice Emperor. From now on, we three will be good sisters, okay?"
"Mm~! Okay!" Na'er replied happily.
"Alright, now that everyone is acquainted, let's get ready and head to Tian Shui City," Ye Wen said.
"Okay!"
Soon, Scott brought the carriage, and everyone got in to return to Tian Shui City.
On the way, Snow Empress and Ice Emperor asked about everything related to Tian Shui Academy and how to interact with humans. They were completely inexperienced and spent the journey asking questions.
After some time, Snow Empress and Ice Emperor had a general understanding of the academy.
They found that Tian Shui Academy's focus on water and ice elements matched their own attributes, and both Snow Empress and Ice Emperor were ice elementals.
Snow Empress was very excited about the prospect of entering human academy life.
The carriage continued toward Tian Shui City. One day later, it stopped, and the King of Slaughter said, "Master, everything has been taken care of. I will head back to the Slaughter City now."
"Mm, you go ahead," Ye Wen said.
"Yes, Master!"
The King of Slaughter flapped his wings and left.
Two days later, Ye Wen and the others returned to Tian Shui City. They settled Na'er, Snow Empress, and Ice Emperor in the villa they had bought.
"Maiers, take some people and send Da Ming and Er Ming back to the Star Dou Forest," Ye Wen instructed.
Da Ming and Er Ming didn't want to stay in the human world. Once everything was done, they naturally wanted to return to the Star Dou Forest.
