Chapter 34

Everyone's gazes turned together.

Only to see Bear Lord, Scarlet King, the Azure Heaven Ox Python and the Titan Giant Ape brothers, as well as a male and female figure, hurrying from the horizon.

"Bear Lord, Scarlet King, Bi Ji, Wan Yao Wang?" Bai Yuan recited the title of the fourth of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.

After the last rather uncertain title fell, Bai Yuan felt his scalp go numb.

You should know that among these four ferocious beasts, even the weakest Scarlet King has nearly three hundred thousand years of cultivation.

The higher-cultivation Bear Lord and Wan Yao Wang are respectively over four hundred thousand years and starting at five hundred thousand years.

Of course, the highest cultivation belongs to Bi Ji, nearing six hundred thousand years; in terms of battle power, even she and Scarlet King combined are absolutely no match for either Bear Lord or Wan Yao Wang.

"You actually know us?" the Wan Yao Wang in human male form said, his tone revealing a hint of surprise.

You should know that the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Heaven Ox Python, who only recently became hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts, don't even know of their existence, let alone their titles.

The Title Douluo listened with solemn expressions; none of them had ever seen these hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts before, yet Bai Yuan could directly name them.

Is this not a rebirth of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, or what?

Thus the Title Douluo all felt somewhat worried.

Worried that Bai Yuan would join forces with those ferocious beasts.

In that case, they'd probably have to flee.

"Recognized, of course recognized. You few came out to look for the Imperial Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Toad, right?" Bai Yuan said, smiling at the four ferocious beasts.

As for the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Heaven Ox Python, just like Xiao Wu and her mother, they've only just reached hundred-thousand-year status and haven't even figured out the true situation of the Star Dou Great Forest, so they need not be considered.

The Wan Yao Wang in middle-aged male form looked at Bai Yuan, eyes full of smiles, asking: "Do you know where the Auspicious Beast is?"

Everyone and the Soul Beasts again turned their gazes toward Bai Yuan.

Imperial Auspicious Beast, Three-Eyed Golden Toad.

Although human Soul Masters have hardly even heard of it, having such a terrifying group come out to look for it is obviously not simple.

Bai Yuan said: "I know; as long as you help me deal with these people, I'll immediately tell you the location of the Three-Eyed Golden Toad."

Bai Yuan had no intention of handing over Wang Qiu'er; of course he wouldn't go back on his word, after all he was only telling the location.

Once the Five Elements Formation is complete, even if Emperor Tian comes, he can't do anything to him; then even if all the ferocious beasts know the Three-Eyed Golden Toad is in his hand, what can they do?

All the Title Douluo's eyes narrowed; they were all prepared to release their martial souls and strike again.

However, some Title Douluo felt a inclination to retreat.

After all, they previously had eleven Title Douluo, plus Ning Fengzhi and the Long-Snake couple, and barely managed a stalemate against the many hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts before them.

Although Bi Bi Dong hadn't gone all out and hadn't used her twin martial souls, with Bai Yuan now adding a strike that heavily wounded four Title Douluo, they basically had no chance to win.

However, contrary to Bai Yuan's expectations, the Wan Yao Wang gave a cold smile, narrowed his eyes at him, and lightly said: "The Auspicious Beast is in your hand, right?"

Bear Lord and Scarlet King's gazes turned fierce.

Because before they came out, Emperor Tian had already issued a death order: no matter what, they must bring back the Auspicious Beast.

Bai Yuan also didn't know how to answer, because before such existences, denial is meaningless, and they don't need any evidence.

Bi Ji said: "Hand over the Auspicious Beast, and I guarantee your safe departure from the Star Dou Great Forest."

The Title Douluo's thoughts raced.

Bai Yuan's heart also sank.

He truly hadn't expected that this group of ferocious beasts never even considered trading with him; the moment they sensed the Auspicious Beast was in his hand, they immediately began applying pressure.

Moreover, upon reflection, since the Auspicious Beast is in his hand, he can threaten once and thus threaten again.

Who knows what he's thinking?

Bai Yuan looked toward Bi Bi Dong.

Bi Bi Dong also looked at him at that moment.

The two locked eyes.

Bi Bi Dong, having guessed Bai Yuan's thought, lightly opened her lips and said: "Bai Yuan, we came here solely for Soul Rings and Soul Bones; if you join forces with us, we'll take the Soul Rings and Soul Bones and leave, never again troubling you and your disciple, how about that?"

A child's world talks about good and bad relationships, right and wrong; but an adult's world only talks about how much profit.

If the profit is sufficient, what thing cannot be let go?

And what thing cannot be sold?

Even though Bi Bi Dong had just been beheaded by Bai Yuan in a single move, now with sufficient profit laid before her, what does she have that she cannot let go of?

The Title Douluo also showed a slight change in expression.

Ning Fengzhi said: "Bai Yuan, let's join forces; afterward you only need to return Rong Rong to me, and we'll let this go."

Fighting Bai Yuan to the death is what Ning Fengzhi least wants to see, because afterward Ning Rongrong will likely die!

If they now cooperate with Bai Yuan, Ning Rongrong's chance of survival will greatly increase.

Bai Yuan's eyes flickered.

To be honest, if this group of ferocious beasts didn't have Emperor Tian behind him, he would answer without hesitation; but these people have behind them an invincible half-god of the present age.

Even if Qian Daoliu led all the offerings of the Hall of Worship here, Bai Yuan wouldn't dare cooperate with these people.

Because if the ferocious beasts die, he doesn't believe this group of Title Douluo would still keep him around; indeed, even in the midst of battle they'd just kill him outright.

After all, Bai Yuan now relies only on the formation to contend with the Title Douluo; his body is merely at the initial stage of Foundation Establishment.

Even a slight bump in this great battle would mean he'd have to immediately grab a boxed meal; fortunately, Bai Yuan's main task is to buy time for his three disciples.

Bear Lord at this moment gave a cold snort and said: "Quickly hand over the Auspicious Beast, or don't blame us for being impolite."

Faced with human Title Douluo wanting to cooperate with Bai Yuan to wipe them out, he is not the slightest bit timid, after all Emperor Tian still backs him.

However, the Wan Yao Wang smiled and said: "Why not have our two strongest sides cooperate? Then we'll only take the Auspicious Beast, and you may do as you wish with the rest; this way our risk will be minimized, not causing too many deaths."

The Title Douluo felt somewhat moved upon hearing that.

Cooperating with Bai Yuan to hunt down six hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts, although the profit would be highest, the risk is extremely great.

If they really fight to the death, this group of high-ranking Title Douluo would at least lose half.

But if they join forces with ferocious beasts to hunt Bai Yuan, the situation is entirely different.

According to their information, Bai Yuan and his disciple are both re-cultivated hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, which means they at least possess two hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings and two hundred-thousand-year soul bones.

Moreover, the risk will be reduced to a minimum.

As for the soul beasts that betrayed the re-cultivated hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, the Title Douluo also find nothing strange about it.

Because the re-made hundred-thousand-year soul beasts are neither human nor beast—they are traitors among the soul beasts and cannot be regarded as true humans.

At once, many Title Douluo turned their eyes to Bai Yuan; even Bi Bi Dong, who had earlier proposed cooperating with him, was no exception.

This truly proves there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests; in such a short time, after weighing the pros and cons, their positions shifted several times.
