The thought that had just crossed Ye Wen's mind, though seemingly absurd, was actually quite reasonable.
Although the Blue Silver Emperor had lost her hundred-thousand-year cultivation and the soul bone she had nurtured herself, her soul essence remained intact—still at the hundred-thousand-year level. Even though she was now extremely weak, she wouldn't be as simple-minded as a spirit beast with only a hundred or so years of cultivation.
As for why the Blue Silver Emperor wanted to communicate with him, Ye Wen immediately understood after glancing at the nearly defeated Blue Silver King.
However, Ye Wen didn't directly accept the Blue Silver Emperor's mental communication invitation.
As Ye Wen had previously thought, since the Blue Silver Emperor's soul essence remained intact, no matter how weak she might be, if she were to unleash a soul attack on him, it could spell trouble for him.
As for why the Blue Silver Emperor hadn't directly attacked, Ye Wen had already pieced together an answer in his mind.
Although mental attributes were a latent ability of the Blue Silver Grass, launching a mental attack required a medium for transmission, such as eyes. Without such a medium, at most it could only exert soul power pressure.
At this moment, the Blue Silver Emperor neither had eyes nor much strength left, so naturally, she couldn't impose soul pressure or launch a soul attack on Ye Wen.
While Ye Wen was contemplating how to handle the Blue Silver Emperor, her unusual movements caught the attention of the Blue Silver King.
Even though it was on the brink of death, the Blue Silver King still called out affectionately:
"Your Majesty, is that you? My Empress, your loyal subject, the Blue Silver King, is here. Wait for me—I'll come save you!"
With that, despite being extremely weakened, the Blue Silver King let out a deep roar and forcibly generated its ninth, incompletely developed Blue Silver Tyrant Spear, preparing to make a final desperate counterattack!
At this moment, Dugu Bo also noticed Ye Wen's abnormality, but he didn't pay it much mind. With a cold snort, he raised a finger, and his fifth soul skill, Jade Phosphorus Emperor Shield, once again materialized in front of the two. This time, the incomplete Blue Silver Tyrant Spear lacked the previous overwhelming penetration power and was firmly blocked by the Jade Phosphorus Emperor Shield.
Perhaps sensing the Blue Silver King's life slipping away, the tendrils of the Blue Silver Emperor began to sway wildly, revealing her growing desperation.
But Ye Wen, stubborn as ever, refused to connect with her mentally, which infuriated the Blue Silver Emperor.
In Ye Wen's heart, although the Blue Silver Emperor was portrayed beautifully in the original storyline and he felt pity for this poor, naive girl, her role was clear—to become future reserves. No, not food, but medicinal resources. There was no way Ye Wen would abandon his plans to suppress Tang San's future!
As time passed, the Blue Silver King attempted to control the other eight petrified Blue Silver Tyrant Spears, but its continuous corrosion left it weaker and weaker, until it barely had enough mental strength to move the spears. It could only watch Ye Wen and Dugu Bo with resentment.
"Your Majesty..."
Even in its dying moments, the Blue Silver King maintained a devout call to the Blue Silver Emperor, who had abandoned her species to take human form and wander recklessly.
The Blue Silver Emperor stiffened, deeply shaken by the call.
At this moment, the Blue Silver Emperor finally came to her senses and began using her authority as the Blue Silver Ruler to summon the distant Blue Silver Grasses, urging them to channel their life force toward her.
Ye Wen didn't intervene. In his view, even if the severely weakened Blue Silver Emperor gathered more life force, what difference would it make?
At most, she'd become another Blue Silver King, saving him the trouble of cultivating one himself.
Thinking this, Ye Wen even deliberately released the Blue Silver Emperor.
But contrary to Ye Wen's expectations, when the Blue Silver Emperor reached a certain limit of growth, she stopped growing and instead began unfolding her Blue Silver Domain.
Ye Wen's eyes narrowed as he muttered, "Teacher, be careful. If I'm not mistaken, the Blue Silver Emperor is using the Blue Silver Grasses' power to restore her mental strength. Although she was sacrificed to Tang Hao, her spiritual realm remains intact. Combined with the mental energy of the connected Blue Silver Grasses, this could become problematic."
At this moment, Ye Wen felt a pang of regret. Though he knew the Blue Silver Emperor was a bug-level existence in terms of vitality, he hadn't expected her to dare operate right under their noses. So, he directly told Dugu Bo:
"Teacher, please seal her again."
Dugu Bo nodded. While Ye Wen feared the mental power of a Title Douluo, Dugu Bo did not. He possessed a ten-thousand-year head soul bone, making his mental strength far superior to that of an average Title Douluo. No matter how much the Blue Silver Emperor recovered, she couldn't do anything to him.
But just as Dugu Bo was about to act, the Blue Silver Emperor suddenly stopped absorbing life force and mental energy.
Ye Wen and Dugu Bo both narrowed their eyes, puzzled. What was the Blue Silver Emperor planning to do?
At this moment, the Blue Silver Emperor's leaves slowly rose, concentrating her soul power into one spot.
A phantom-like, breathtakingly beautiful figure dressed in blue palace attire gradually emerged.
Though Ye Wen and Dugu Bo knew she was their enemy, her gentle face naturally evoked empathy. However, both Ye Wen and Dugu Bo were resolute individuals and were not swayed by appearances.
Dugu Bo said, "So you're the Blue Silver Emperor? Why are you showing yourself like this? What do you want?"
This was likely the first time the Blue Silver Emperor had appeared in this form in front of others, so her movements were somewhat stiff. After adjusting for a while, she urgently spoke:
"Noble Lord, please stop and spare this Blue Silver King."
Ye Wen and Dugu Bo exchanged knowing looks, both thinking the same thing. Then Dugu Bo sneered.
"How amusing. Isn't it natural for soul masters to kill spirit beasts? On what grounds are you stopping me from killing the Blue Silver King, Blue Silver Emperor?"
As Ye Wen had said, the Blue Silver Emperor was a naive girl. Otherwise, she wouldn't have wandered around in front of Tang Hao and his brother, despite knowing the dangers spirit beasts faced during their maturation period.
Wasn't this akin to lighting a lantern in a toilet to look for feces?
The Blue Silver Emperor opened her mouth, wanting nothing more than to stop Dugu Bo and save the Blue Silver King, but she hadn't given any thought to specific methods.
At this moment, the Blue Silver Emperor felt utterly lost and helpless. Her mind instinctively turned to Tang Hao.
"Hao Ge, where are you? Someone is bullying me."
But soon, the Blue Silver Emperor regained her composure. Despite being in a daze during her years in extreme environments, she had come to understand the harshness of the world. Biting her lip, she pleaded humbly:
"Everything can be discussed, Noble Lord. Please spare this Blue Silver King. My husband is the Title Douluo Tang Hao—you must know him. Please, for his sake, stop."
Dugu Bo burst into laughter, and Ye Wen chuckled as well.
Though their thoughts differed, both silently mocked the Blue Silver Emperor's foolishness.
They had already invaded her home, clearly enemies, yet this naive and innocent Blue Silver Emperor failed to see it?
