Chapter 70: Cooperating with the Spirit Hall?

"What the hell is this?"!!! ∑(°Д°ノ)ノ

Soon, the Life and Death Scroll was retracted, and the scene within the scroll vanished.

The light of the Destruction Mark and Life Mark on Zhexian's forehead gradually dimmed, and his connection to the God Realm grew weaker and weaker.

Sensing this change, Zhexian frowned slightly. Ever since the God of Destruction last appeared, he had not shown himself again, and even the content of the God Trial had been delayed in being released.

Unless something had gone wrong in the God Realm.

He looked up at the sky, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of clouds to reach the God Realm directly. However, the aura of the God Realm appeared abnormally chaotic, as if an invisible force were interfering with the order of the God Realm.

"The so-called God Realm... what exactly has happened?" Zhexian muttered to himself, his tone carrying a hint of interest.

Guyuena noticed Zhexian's unusual behavior, walked forward, and asked softly, "What is it?"

Zhexian withdrew his gaze, his expression remaining calm, and said indifferently, "The aura of the God Realm is chaotic; it seems a force is interfering with its order."

Upon hearing this, Guyuena frowned slightly, a flash of gravity in her eyes. As the Silver Dragon King, one half of the Dragon God, she naturally understood the strength of the God Realm.

To be able to affect the order of the God Realm—what exactly were they facing?

Zhexian reached out to catch a flower petal, his expression indifferent.

"Only because the God Realm has encountered problems have these creatures been given an opportunity."

"There are many things you will understand when the time comes. What these creatures truly are."

Afterward, Zhexian had no interest in staying any longer and turned to leave.

Before he left, he still looked back at Guyuena.

"You had best cooperate with humans; these creatures are not easy to deal with."

Having said this, Zhexian's figure turned into flower petals and dissipated into the air.

After Zhexian's figure dissipated, the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest fell into a brief silence.

Several Great Beasts looked at each other, clearly shocked and skeptical of Zhexian's words.

A moment later, Xiongjun was the first to break the silence.

"My Lord, is this person's word... trustworthy?" Xiongjun's voice was low and resonant, his tone carrying a hint of doubt. "Cooperate with humans? Those greedy fellows, how could they possibly join hands with us in sincerity? They would only take the opportunity to hunt our kin and seize our soul bones!"

Chiwang let out a cold snort, a flash of disdain in his eyes: "Xiongjun is right! Humans have always been cunning, especially those fellows from the Spirit Hall, whose hands are stained with the blood of our Soul Beasts. Cooperating with them is no different from walking into a trap!"

Ziji glanced coldly in the direction where Zhexian had disappeared, her tone carrying a hint of mockery: "Although this person appears mysterious, he is, after all, not of our Soul Beast race. His words may not be for our benefit. Perhaps he just wants to use us."

Wanyaowang narrowed his eyes slightly, a meaningful smile tugging at the corners of his mouth: "Everyone, do not be impatient. If his words are true, we can use these enemies to consume the humans' combat power; that would actually be a good thing for us Soul Beasts."

Biji shook her head gently, her tone soft yet firm: "These creatures are our common enemy; we cannot do such a thing."

Guyuena listened to the debate among the several Great Beasts, her expression calm, though a hint of deep thought flashed in her eyes.

She spoke slowly, her voice carrying a trace of majesty: "Ditian, take Xiongjun and make a trip to the Spirit Hall."

As soon as Guyuena's voice fell, Ditian walked slowly out from the shadows. He was draped in a black robe, his face cold and stern, his eyes flashing with deep light.

As the strongest of the Soul Beast race, the Beast God Ditian's strength was second only to the Silver Dragon King Guyuena, and in some aspects, his combat experience was even richer.

"My Lord, are you certain you want to make contact with the Spirit Hall?" Ditian's voice was low and powerful, his tone carrying a hint of reluctance.

Guyuena nodded, her gaze firm: "As the most powerful force among human Soul Masters, although the Spirit Hall has a deep blood feud with us, in the face of a common enemy, they might make a wise choice."

Ditian was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly: "I understand. However, My Lord, if the Spirit Hall refuses to cooperate or even attacks us, how should we respond?"

A flash of coldness crossed Guyuena's eyes, her tone carrying a trace of majesty: "If they do not know what is good for them, then let them understand that the Soul Beast race is not a weakling to be slaughtered at will. However, this trip is primarily for probing; try to avoid conflict."

Ditian nodded slightly, then turned to look at Xiongjun: "Xiongjun, come with me."

Although Xiongjun was full of hostility toward humans, he never questioned Guyuena's orders. He let out a low growl, his voice carrying a hint of unwillingness, but he still followed Ditian's footsteps.

Seeing this, Chiwang could not help but snort coldly: "My Lord, although Ditian and Xiongjun are powerful, those fellows in the Spirit Hall are no pushovers. If they join forces, I fear..."

Guyuena waved her hand, interrupting Chiwang: "There are not many people on this continent who can stop Ditian and Xiongjun."

Ziji interjected coldly: "My Lord, if the Spirit Hall is truly willing to cooperate, are we to put aside our hatred and fight side-by-side with them?"

Guyuena's gaze was deep, and she did not speak.

Wanyaowang smiled slightly, his tone carrying a hint of hidden meaning: "We do not need to fully trust humans. Perhaps we can take this opportunity to test the true strength of the Spirit Hall."

Guyuena nodded and had all the Great Beasts go to prepare.

At the same time, Ditian and Xiongjun had already left the Star Dou Great Forest and were speeding toward the direction of the Spirit Hall. The two were extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared into the horizon.

As Xiongjun traveled, he muttered in complaint: "Ditian, are we really going to see those detestable humans? They are our mortal enemies!"

Ditian's expression was cold, his tone carrying a hint of indifference: "We must execute the Lord's orders. Moreover, if those creatures truly exist, our cooperation with humans might be the only way out."

Xiongjun snorted coldly, clearly not agreeing with Ditian's words: "Hmph, I don't believe those humans will sincerely cooperate with us. They will only take the opportunity to strike at us!"

Ditian did not say anything more, only increasing his speed. He knew that Xiongjun was full of hostility toward humans and that it would be difficult to change in the short term. But for now, they had to complete the mission.

A few days later, Ditian and Xiongjun arrived at Spirit City.

Looking from afar, the magnificent buildings of Spirit City were imposing and extremely prosperous.

Ditian and Xiongjun hid their auras and walked inside.

Soon, they arrived at the headquarters of the Spirit Hall.

Ditian stopped, his gaze cold as he looked toward the direction of the Spirit Hall: "The people of the Spirit Hall will soon detect our presence."
