Chapter 23: The Wrath of Chi Wang

Xiadie and the other two stood quietly beside San Yan Jin Ni, watching it howl in pain.

A fifty-meter-wide Flower Sea of Anti-Spirit Flowers enveloped the path ahead.

A serene and tranquil aura permeated Xiadie's Domain.

"Go to hell."

San Yan Jin Ni's face was twisted, that visage resembling both a tiger and a monkey full of ferocity.

"Clang—"

It lashed out with claws wreathed in the Bright Attribute, but was blocked by a Nebula Fan.

"How is this possible!" San Yan Jin Ni was filled with disbelief.

Manyi was also somewhat surprised: "You have become weaker!" This book was first published on the leisure reading site Tiantian Reading Novels, ttk. tw, for a comfortable experience providing you with error-free and non-scrambled chapters.

She hadn't even thought she could block it so easily, even the attack of the heavily wounded San Yan Jin Ni, and she subconsciously used her soul power to protect Xu Jiujiu and Xiadie.

"Damn it..." San Yan Jin Ni's face showed anger.

"This, this sea of flowers is dissipating my energy."

"Bang."

The Nebula Fan struck again, this time hitting San Yan Jin Ni on the neck.

San Yan Jin Ni stumbled and fell asleep.

"Miss Xiadie." Manyi looked toward Xiadie.

Xiadie nodded, placing her fair palm on San Yan Jin Ni's forehead.

She slowly closed her eyes.

Five seconds, ten seconds, about twenty seconds of time.

Xiadie opened her eyes, a profound depth hidden within her purple gaze.

However, that trace of depth quickly vanished.

Xiadie paused, then spoke:

"I have sealed San Yan Jin Ni's power. Many thanks to Crown Manyi and Sister Jiu Jiu for the gift of soul power; otherwise, even using Teacher's method, I would not have been able to seal it."

"It's nothing."

Manyi and Xu Jiujiu shook their heads and took out medicinal pills to recover.

Suddenly, a figure streaked through the dense forest, approaching this location at extreme speed.

It was the silhouette of a woman, scarlet blood gushing from the stump of her severed right arm.

"Hoo—hoo—"

"Elder Wang!" Manyi was the first to speak.

The person speeding toward them was none other than Wang Xian'er.

"Why are you still here?" Wang Xian'er landed quickly, arriving before Xiadie and the others.

Manyi was just about to speak.

"Forget it, we'll talk while we move." Wang Xian'er ignored her still-bleeding arm and immediately lifted the group, speeding toward the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Crown, bring San Yan Jin Ni along." The one who spoke was Xiadie.

Wang Xian'er took a deep look, not asking further.

She used soul power to lift San Yan Jin Ni and accelerated away.

Wang Xian'er was severely injured and had lost her right arm, but her soul power was exceptionally vast, and her speed was significantly faster than Manyi, the level 93 Nebula Douluo.

"Tell me, what happened here?"

Wang Xian'er tossed a recovery pill into her mouth, and the color in her face improved significantly.

"This is San Yan Jin Ni; Xiadie says it is the Emperor Beast of Auspice."

"What, the Emperor Beast of Auspice!?"

Wang Xian'er shuddered, nearly losing her soul power stability and dropping everyone.

With over two hundred years of experience and extensive reading.

Clearly, this Deputy Hall Master of the Offering Hall knew what an Emperor Beast of Auspice was.

"Yes." Xiadie nodded, "I sealed all of her power." Xiadie briefly recounted the incident where the three were attacked by San Yan Jin Ni.

"We're in big trouble."

After listening, Wang Xian'er felt a wave of scalp-numbing dread.

She was very angry to hear that San Yan Jin Ni had tried to use a mental-shock-like ability to kill Xiadie and Xu Jiujiu.

Both were of vital importance to the Star Luo Empire, especially the teacher behind Xiadie.

Hearing that Xiadie could counter and even heavily wound San Yan Jin Ni, her eyes flickered repeatedly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

One had to know, she had lost many Soul Guidance Devices and consumed quite a few pills just to escape from Chi Wang.

The gap between level 96 and 97 remained so vast even at that stage.

She was still a Healing Soul Master not adept at combat; even with her fortuitous encounters, her combat experience was still lacking. Losing an arm was considered light, as she had nearly died several times.

"Xiadie, what are your thoughts for what comes next?" Wang Xian'er's tone was serious.

Based on her understanding of Xiadie over these past few days, the fact that the other party had spent such a high price—even going so far as to expose her "trump card" Domain's ability to borrow others' soul power—to seal San Yan Jin Ni meant she definitely had her own plan.

"We cannot run," Xiadie said. "Di Tian possesses space-type abilities, and Wan Yao Wang's sensory range can cover one-third of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Beast God Di Tian..." Wang Xian'er fell into silence.

Especially upon hearing of Wan Yao Wang's sensory ability, she was filled with shock.

What did a range of one-third of the Star Dou Great Forest even mean?

What does one-third of the Star Dou Great Forest's range mean?

It can be said that they must have already been discovered by other fierce beasts by now, and not just Chi Wang alone.

This is the opponent's home turf, and the fierce beasts can easily wait for them to fall into their trap.

"Then what is your plan?"

Wang Xian'er's voice revealed a trace of despair that even she herself had not noticed.

"Compared to humans, soul beasts place more importance on promises."

"So, Sister Jiu Jiu, two Crowned Ones, I hope you will cooperate next."

The three of them looked at each other in dismay.

"Fine."

Wang Xian'er made the final decision.

If the situation were truly as Xiadie said, they would indeed have no way to leave the Star Dou Great Forest alive through normal means.

Regardless of the reason, they had severely wounded someone else's auspicious beast.

Even if Xiadie had not sealed the auspicious beast, if they had left it behind, they were still so far from the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest that they likely wouldn't have made it out alive.

Even if they did get out, would it be difficult for Di Tian to find them?

Jinyan Heilongwang Ditian, the strongest on the continent, truly lives up to the title of Beast God.

"Awoo—"

A wolf's howl resounded, and intense flames scorched the trees along the way.

A creature wreathed in dark red flames let out an angry roar and pursued at high speed.

As the distance closed, those scorching flames and a pressure comparable to a level 97 Titled Douluo were unleashed without reservation.

"Humans, you are courting death."

Amidst the flames, Chi Wang revealed his form.

The veins on his forehead, partially hidden by red fur, bulged, and his three heads opened their maws, sharp teeth dripping with saliva.

His three pairs of eyes were bloodshot.

"Stop, Chi Wang."

Seeing Chi Wang lunging toward them, Wang Xian'er shouted, "If you dare to make a move, I cannot guarantee the safety of your auspicious beast."

"You..."

Chi Wang's charging figure slowed down, and the hellfire he had released retracted to his sides.

"Humans, release the auspicious beast!"

"Otherwise, I guarantee that no matter where you go,"

"Even if you ascend to the heavens or dive into the earth, I will exhaust everything to kill you."

San Yan Jin Ni was being held by Manyi and appeared to still be breathing and not dead, but Chi Wang was level 97; how could he not sense the damage San Yan Jin Ni had suffered to its Spirit Power?

However, he was very puzzled.

San Yan Jin Ni's flames and light were merely abilities approaching an Extreme Attribute, but its Spirit Power was a true Extreme Attribute.

With these three abilities combined, it could even put up a fight against level 92 or 93 Titled Douluo.

It could even take the opponent down.

Of these two Titled Douluo, the strongest was the Medical Immortal Douluo Wang Xian'er who blocked him; that one with the fan was nothing special, and their Spirit Power was not strong.

This was why, although Chi Wang was anxious at first, he had not gone all-out or disregarded his defenses, even with a desperate, reckless attitude, to catch up to the auspicious beast.

But now that the auspicious beast had been captured, things were serious.

"The auspicious beast is very important to you, isn't it!" Wang Xian'er let out a sigh of relief, "Rest assured, your auspicious beast is fine."

"Hmph!"

Chi Wang let out a cold snort and gradually recovered from his rage.

"What do you want?"

"A Spirit Ring or a soul bone? Release the auspicious beast, and as long as your demands are not too outrageous, we can agree to them."

As Chi Wang's voice fell, the air fell into a silence.

On Wang Xian'er's side, everyone fell silent.

She subconsciously looked at Xiadie, and Xiadie shook her head gently.

Wang Xian'er thought for a moment and said, "I want you to agree to let us leave safely, and you fierce beasts are not allowed to pursue us."

"I can return the auspicious beast to you after we leave the Star Dou Great Forest."

"This condition is..."

Before Chi Wang could finish, a voice that could not be distinguished as male or female suddenly rang out at this moment:

"Chi Wang, you failed to guard the auspicious beast, and now you want to agree to the unreasonable demands of humans."

"Have you asked the boss?"
