72: The Spirit Hall learned that a large number of soul beasts had transformed

Chapter 72: Spirit Hall Learns of Numerous Spirit Beasts Undergoing Human Transformation

Now, with Snow Empress, Ice Empress, A'Tai, and Ice Bear King—four Spirit Beasts above the 100,000-year level—joining them, even a head-on confrontation would not result in a loss.

Therefore, Ye Wen was actually no longer afraid of Spirit Hall, but if Spirit Hall’s people found out, Spirit Hall would definitely cause all sorts of trouble, which was not what he wanted to see.

“Kill him!!!” Ye Wen immediately felt a surge of killing intent.

“Yes!”

The Slaughter King was the first to flap his wings and instantly strike.

“Extreme North Land! I encountered a large number of 100,000-year Spirit Beasts that had transformed into humans in the Extreme North Land!!! Quick… let… ugh…” This Spirit Master decisively unleashed a Spirit Ability.

But it seemed to have no effect; after unleashing it, he was only talking to the illusion created by the Spirit Ability, but he hadn't finished speaking yet.

The next second, *splat*!

The Slaughter King instantly killed him on the spot, but after this person died, a thread of Soul Power flew into the distance.

“Soul Power Transmission?” The Slaughter King frowned, wanting to intercept this Soul Power Transmission, but was unable to do so.

Seeing this, he immediately returned to report to Ye Wen: “Master, everyone has been slain, but before they were killed, one human Spirit Master seemed to have transmitted a Soul Power Transmission.”

“Soul Power Transmission?” Ye Wen was startled.

Soul Power Transmission is a form of communication achieved through Soul Power, where one’s intended meaning is transmitted privately to another person through Soul Power, allowing them to hear it.

Every single Spirit Beast here could perform this kind of power.

But the Slaughter King said that the Soul Power Transmission flew to a very, very distant location, and it was performed through a Spirit Ability.

This made Ye Wen frown deeply, seemingly guessing something: “It seems we are most likely exposed and can no longer hide. What was the meaning conveyed in that Soul Power Transmission? Tell me truthfully, word for word.”

“Extreme North Land, I encountered several 100,000-year Spirit Beasts that had transformed into humans in the Extreme North Land!!” The Slaughter King repeated the words of the Soul Power Transmission, then said: “This is what the Soul Power Transmission conveyed. He probably had more to say, but he was killed halfway through.”

“Encountering several transformed Spirit Beasts in the Extreme North Land is fine. Even if exposed, they don’t know what we look like, what kind of Spirit Beasts we are in human form, or how many there are. We won’t be harassed by Spirit Hall for now,” Ye Wen said with some relief.

He wasn't afraid of being discovered by humans, but unfortunately, it was Spirit Hall. Spirit Hall was the strongest Spirit Master force on this continent, with too many Titled Douluo.

With Ye Wen’s current Spirit Beast forces, he didn’t know if they could win, but one thing was certain: both sides would suffer heavy losses.

There was no need for that, but actually, there was nothing to fear even if Spirit Hall knew.

The main thing was that they wouldn't be able to live peacefully in the Human World. Spirit Hall would definitely cause all sorts of trouble, and even if they knew they couldn't win, they might even unite all human forces, possibly even joining the Two Great Empires.

After all, the temptation of even one transformed 100,000-year Spirit Beast was great enough, let alone a group.

At the same time, so many powerful 100,000-year Spirit Beasts staying together would also make humans feel a sense of crisis, potentially leading to a war between the human and Spirit Beast races.

Therefore, for various reasons, Ye Wen temporarily did not want to expose his Spirit Beast identity as a primary factor.

Ye Wen stopped thinking about it and refocused: “Let’s go. For now, we should leave the Extreme North Land as soon as possible.”

“Okay.”

Everyone continued forward and soon stepped out of the Extreme North Land’s range, heading to the nearest city to meet up with Naer and Scott.

After a long while.

Everyone returned to the city and found Naer and Scott; everyone was gathered.

Seeing two more girls in Ye Wen’s team, who looked almost the same age as her, Naer asked curiously: “Oh, are they like me, picked up by Brother Ye Wen from the roadside too?”

“Haha, they are not like you,” Ye Wen chuckled.

“Who is this? Is she also a Spirit Beast?” Snow Empress asked.

“Hmm, I suppose so,” Ye Wen said.

“What is her true form, how many years of cultivation does she have as a Spirit Beast, and why does she seem to have the mind of a child?” Snow Empress asked, puzzled.

“Haha, as expected of Snow Empress, you saw many issues at a glance.” Ye Wen shook his head and smiled.

100,000-year Spirit Beasts carry thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years of life and memories. Spirit Beasts gain sentience and good intelligence at 10,000 years, and those who cultivate to 100,000-year Spirit Beasts usually have very high intelligence, no different from humans.

Transformation does not affect one’s mind, so Naer’s behavior seemed very abnormal to Snow Empress. After all, there probably aren’t many 100,000-year transformed Spirit Beasts like Xiao Wu who act cute and innocent, right?

Ye Wen explained: “Due to some reason, Naer lost her memory, so, in her eyes, she is currently 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, I suppose,” Ye Wen briefly described.

But this greatly astonished Snow Empress and Ice Empress: “What! God-level strength? Dragon race…”

“What God-level strength~?!” Naer asked curiously.

“Oh, nothing, nothing.” Snow Empress immediately covered it up, smiling as she asked: “Your name is Naer, right? My name is Snow Empress, and her name is Ice Empress. From now on, the three of us will be good sisters, okay?”

“Mmm~! Okay!”

“Alright, everyone has met. Let’s get ready to set off and return to Tianshui City,” Ye Wen said.

“Okay!”

Soon, Scott brought over a carriage, and everyone boarded it to return to Tianshui City.

Along the way, Snow Empress and Ice Empress learned about various things concerning Tianshui Academy and how to interact with humans. Having no experience, they basically asked questions the entire way.

After some understanding, Snow Empress and Ice Empress also generally understood the various matters and situations of Tianshui Academy.

First, they felt that Tianshui Academy’s style suited them very well, primarily recruiting students with water and ice elements, and Snow Empress and Ice Empress were precisely ice-attributed.

Snow Empress was very much looking forward to life in a human academy.

Thus, the carriage traveled all the way back to Tianshui City. A day later, the carriage stopped, and the Slaughter King said: “Master, the matter has been handled, so I will return to Slaughter City first.”

“Mmm, you go ahead.”

“Yes! Master!”

The Slaughter King flapped his bat-like wings and left first.

Two days later, Ye Wen and the others returned to Tianshui City. They first settled Naer, Snow Empress, and Ice Empress in the villa they had purchased.

“Myles, later, you bring some people and send Da Ming and Er Ming back to the Star Dou Great Forest.”

Da Ming and Er Ming did not want to stay in the Human World. With the matter concluded, they naturally had to return to the Star Dou Great Forest.
