"Bear Lord Senior, the innately evil Spirit Hall is the enemy of soul beasts."
"Please, you must help us."
Tang San's words suddenly hard-controlled everyone present.
Spirit Hall is the enemy of soul beasts?
In theory, this seemed not wrong.
The original purpose of Spirit Hall's establishment was indeed to combat soul beasts and beast tides, as well as certain evil soul masters.
But that was all ancient history. Now, Spirit Hall was unclear with the Star Dou Great Forest.
And you bring up this old calendar to talk?
"Hmph, human, what Spirit Hall is, I don't care."
Bear Lord was very reckless, but essentially not stupid.
Moreover, this time it was an advance instruction from the Silver Dragon King. Even if at odds with Di Tian, it had to do things in detail.
However, it could not help openly. Besides itself, there was also a little whale that needed to act, but that guy did not know where it had gone.
"You humans and soul beasts leave the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest." Bear Lord said coldly. "Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, you can't even guard the gate properly—what are you kept for? That's right, I'm talking about you two wastes."
"Get lost!"
"You..." Tang San's face darkened.
"What, a mere Soul Sage still wants to fight me?" Bear Lord glanced at Tang San. "I don't care who you are—don't cause trouble in the Star Dou Great Forest."
A long, high-pitched dragon roar sounded, and the Sky Azure Bull Python broke free from Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo's martial soul fusion skill.
Although so, it did not attack, coming to a position not far from Bear Lord.
"We stay here under Lord Di Tian's orders. You..."
"Don't mention that bastard to me. One day, I will be the master of the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Now I want you to get lost—did you hear me?"
As it spoke, Bear Lord's gaze turned to Qian Renxue. "You Spirit Hall people are the same—take the fight outside."
"Bear Lord Senior, we..."
"I don't care who you are, or who is behind you." Bear Lord said coldly. "You have one hour to leave the Star Dou Great Forest, or bear the retaliation of all the ferocious beasts!"
Qian Renxue: "..."
This thing was really here to help her?
Seeing Bear Lord finish speaking and leap away, disappearing into the distant jungle, leaving behind a group of bewildered Spirit Hall members and Clear Sky School people.
No one dared to take the Star Dou Great Forest's retaliation lightly.
Especially Tang Chen, who now had experience after several elders died back then.
"This is troublesome now..."
Moreover, the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python seemed to have been driven out of the Star Dou Great Forest, meaning the two were now completely unrelated to it.
Bear Lord's figure hid in the dense forest.
However, it had not gone too far, stopping at a position where the battle aura could gradually not be sensed. Two figures appeared before it.
"Bear Lord, what do you mean?" Bi Ji opened with a questioning tone. "Are you going to hinder the ancestor's grand plan?"
"Bibidong and Qian Renxue are our people. Tang San is our enemy. You..."
"Bi Ji, when I, Bear Lord, do things, do I need to explain to anyone? With Di Tian gone, I am the overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest. What I do is none of your business?"
"Hmph, if even this little difficulty cannot be resolved."
"I don't believe such trash, after becoming a god, can bring any benefits to our Star Dou Great Forest?"
"Moreover, I also followed your instructions and tried not to do things that might attract the God Realm's attention."
"Hmph, I hope so." Bi Ji's voice softened slightly. "What you did, I will report to Di Tian and the Lord. Do as you please."
Bi Ji and the Myriad Demon King left. Gazing at Bi Ji's back.
"Hmph, the Emerald Swan with over 500,000 years of cultivation—a weakling..." After saying that, Bear Lord glanced toward the horizon. "I'm not Di Tian, showing off everything to feed into your mouths."
"The matter of the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape is already unrelated to the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Even if the God Realm investigates, they won't find any clues."
Bear Lord's gaze was profound. Soul beasts cannot become gods—the gods high above, who allowed you to do such things.
"The rest is her task."
Bear Lord had no intention of intervening in the first place, but some things needed to be said clearly—even if it was for the gods in the God Realm to hear.
Of course, whether they could hear it was another matter.
"Revenge... does she really dare to do it?"
To be honest, when the Demon Empress said to change the plan, Bear Lord held a negative attitude, but the other party's tone was firm, and she hoped to probe the God Realm's information.
If something went wrong, it would be her own affair—that was also why Bear Lord had to make the Sky Azure and Titan completely detach from the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Demon Empress was an outsider; even if something happened, it would not matter.
...
In the battlefield area, both sides advanced warily toward the periphery. The entire atmosphere became eerily quiet.
Qian Renxue could even hear Tang Chen's conversation with the two beast kings.
"Heh, go live in the Star Luo Empire's forest?"
Afraid that was not being imprisoned to serve as Tang San's soul rings!
She temporarily could not figure out Bear Lord's purpose, but one thing was certain: in front of outsiders, especially involving the Sea God and Asura God, she could not let Spirit Hall and the Star Dou Great Forest have any handles.
For example, open cooperation between the two sides.
This might touch the nerves of the God Realm's gods—at least the Sea God's.
The first-level gods and God Kings were repairing the Golden Dragon King's seal, but the Sea God was there!
Who knew what problems might arise?
What they lacked now was time.
Suddenly, a figure burst out from the bushes—a girl holding the Asura Scythe.
But she was covered in blood.
"Zhu Zhuqing!"
Tang San exclaimed in shock, but his heart sank.
"Three... something happened. Xiao Wu was captured by a soul beast."
"What!" Tang San's face changed drastically. He directly rushed in front of Zhu Zhuqing and lifted her by the collar with his hand.
"What happened? How did you handle it!"
"Didn't I tell you to protect Xiao Wu well? Why... why!"
Tang San's eyes were bloodshot, his whole body trembling as if he had epilepsy.
"Sorry... cough cough, Third Brother, the other side is a Limit Douluo. I... I had no way." Zhu Zhuqing smiled bitterly, seeing the cold indifference in Tang San's eyes.
As expected, in front of Tang San, anyone except that little rabbit was just a tool to be used.
"I was released back. She told me you were in this direction."
"Who, exactly who!"
"Cough cough, let go of your hand. I can't breathe." Zhu Zhuqing's left-hand scythe appeared at the back of Tang San's neck. Clearly, if Tang San did not let go, she would not mind striking.
The two were no longer the feelings they had back at Shrek Academy. During the Killing City, those feelings had already changed.
Dai Mubai was killed by her, Zhu Zhuqing, and the former Star Luo Emperor.
The final strike was also done by Zhu Zhuqing.
She and Tang San alike could no longer go back.
The true ruler of the Star Luo Empire was not the puppet Davis, but her, Zhu Zhuqing.
Tang San released his grip on Zhu Zhuqing's hand and said coldly: "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Now it was tense like drawn swords, with Spirit Hall people behind them, but due to Bear Lord's intervention, no one had acted. And Spirit Hall's Qian Renxue even took this opportunity to distribute fruits everywhere to heal the Titled Douluo—those fruits were definitely good stuff.
Facing Tang San's scrutinizing gaze, Zhu Zhuqing sighed: "The one who let me come back is named Demon Empress. She said she wants you to feel the world's pain. The direction is..."
