After chatting happily for a while, Yang Xiong left alone to find the Sky Blue Bull Python.
The Sky Blue Bull Python's body was indeed extremely massive. Even submerged in the water, its head alone was terrifyingly large, and the oppressive aura emanating from its entire body was incredibly fearsome. It truly deserved to be one of the strongest soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Yang Xiong walked up to the Sky Blue Bull Python and said, "Senior Da Ming, may I ask you something?"
The Sky Blue Bull Python let out a strange cry, seemingly disdainful of Yang Xiong and the others. "Human, although you helped Sister Xiao Wu, you hunt our hundred-thousand-year soul beasts. I don't want to associate with you."
Yang Xiong couldn't help but smile. "You can't blame me for this. Humans and soul beasts have been in opposition for generations. Soul Masters need to obtain soul rings to cultivate, and stronger Soul Masters naturally require higher-level soul rings. This is the rule of the world, and it's not something a single Soul Master like me can change."
"Besides, I helped you this time. Otherwise, your Sister Xiao Wu might have been captured. No matter how you look at it, you owe me a favor."
The Sky Blue Bull Python's eyes emitted a faint blue light, which was truly captivating. It was indeed one of the top soul beasts in the world.
"Human, what do you want from me?"
Yang Xiong quickly replied, "I just want to ask you for some information, some secrets about the Star Dou Great Forest."
The Sky Blue Bull Python instantly became angry, and the entire space seemed to be filled with thunder. "Human, although you helped us, I will not help you find hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, nor will I betray the soul beast race."
Yang Xiong shook his head. "I'm just asking you a small question. You just need to confirm whether it exists."
The Sky Blue Bull Python hesitated for a moment before speaking. "What do you want to ask? But I can't guarantee that I will answer you."
Yang Xiong's expression became a little serious. "Senior Da Ming, have you ever heard of a hidden place in the Life Lake?"
The Sky Blue Bull Python shook its head. "I have lived in the Life Lake since I was young and have never heard of any hidden place here."
Yang Xiong was also a little strange. The Sky Blue Bull Python had normally lived in the Life Lake for at least tens of thousands of years and was a dominant existence. How could it not have noticed anything about its own home?
Yang Xiong quickly asked, "Then have you heard of Di Tian and Bear Lord? They should also be hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest."
The Sky Blue Bull Python's body stiffened when it heard Yang Xiong's words. After a long time, it finally spoke. "I haven't seen the two soul beasts you mentioned. I only heard about them once when I was young. Unfortunately, too much time has passed, and I haven't received any news of them since."
Seeing the Sky Blue Bull Python's appearance, Yang Xiong guessed that it had indeed seen Di Tian and Bear Lord, but these fierce beasts had been hiding in the darkness of the Life Lake and probably didn't show themselves easily.
When Yang Xiong returned to Ning Rongrong's side, Tang San's face was a little distorted at the moment, even showing extreme resentment, while Xiao Wu was carefully comforting him on the side.
Yang Xiong quietly asked Ning Rongrong, "Rong Rong, what's wrong with Tang San?"
Ning Rongrong quickly replied, "Tang San has learned about the annihilation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and the Master's current situation, which is why he is so resentful."
Tang San suddenly looked at Yang Xiong. "Yang Xiong, how is my teacher doing now?"
Yang Xiong shook his head. "I'm not sure about the specifics. I only arranged for someone to confirm that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family has been completely annihilated. All eighteen hundred people in the family were killed."
"However, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan escaped because they were attending a class reunion. The Master's condition also seems to be not very good."
Tang San's entire body seemed to be about to split with rage. "Why? Why did Spirit Hall do this? This is thousands of lives! Aren't they afraid of causing public outrage?"
A hint of speechlessness appeared at the corner of Yang Xiong's mouth. "What public outrage? Spirit Hall is powerful now. They have more than ten Titled Douluo alone, accounting for more than sixty percent of the entire Soul Master world's strength."
"If my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect hadn't made arrangements early this time, if I hadn't been preparing for this war years ago, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would probably have been destroyed."
A hint of surprise appeared in Tang San's eyes. "How is this possible? How could you have known that Spirit Hall would attack the Upper Three Sects so early? Why didn't you warn the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family?"
Yang Xiong shook his head. "It's not that I didn't warn them. In fact, both our Sect Leader Ning Fengzhi and the patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, Yu Yuanzhen, knew that there would be a bloody storm in the Soul Master world."
"Since the Clear Sky Sect Battle back then, Spirit Hall has been enduring all these years. There haven't been any large-scale conflicts in the entire Soul Master world. It's been terrifyingly quiet, completely unlike the Soul Master world experienced by the previous generation, where there were struggles everywhere."
"Anyone with a bit of foresight and knowledge will understand that Spirit Hall has been accumulating strength over the years. On one hand, they gather talented young people, and at the same time, they scour the Soul Master world for treasures and win over the Lower Four Sects."
"Over the years, the Lower Four Sects have secretly pledged allegiance to Spirit Hall. As for the Upper Three Sects, ever since the Clear Sky Sect retreated, they have been unable to contend with Spirit Hall. Therefore, Spirit Hall has developed rapidly over the years, and its power has long surpassed everyone's imagination."
Tang San gritted his teeth, "Is Spirit Hall really that powerful? Is Bibi Dong really that powerful?"
Yang Xiong said helplessly, "Spirit Hall is not just one Bibi Dong, nor is it just the six elders who appeared in Spirit City back then."
"The truly terrifying figure in Spirit Hall is Qian Daoliu, a Level 99 Limit Douluo. In the Soul Master world, he is absolutely like a god. Throughout the history of the Douluo world, the only one who could truly contend with Qian Daoliu was your great-grandfather, Tang Chen."
"It's a pity that after Tang Chen disappeared, Spirit Hall already had the aura of ruling the world. I even suspect that the Clear Sky Sect Battle back then was to force Tang Chen to show himself, but unfortunately, your great-grandfather Tang Chen did not appear."
"Besides Qian Daoliu, Spirit Hall has a total of seven great enshrinements and nine great elders. These are all experts at the Titled Douluo level. Among them, the seven great enshrinements are all above Level 96, and each of them is no less powerful than Yu Yuanzhen."
Tang San was also surprised to hear this. Clearly, this was the first time he had heard of Spirit Hall's true strength.
Tang San's face changed unpredictably. After a long time, he finally spoke, "Could it be that Spirit Hall wants to slaughter the major sects just because of their strength? Is their ambition really that great?"
A cold smile appeared on Yang Xiong's lips, "It's not just Spirit Hall's problem. If anyone is strong enough, they will develop great ambition. If your great-grandfather hadn't disappeared back then, perhaps it would have been your Clear Sky Sect that unified the world."
"For large sects like the Upper Three Sects, there are more or less some dark matters, it's just not as obvious as Spirit Hall."
"Back then, the Clear Sky Sect also dominated the world. Besides their strength, their way of doing things was also exceptionally overbearing."
Tang San quickly said, "That's impossible. The Clear Sky Sect would never do such a thing."
Yang Xiong stared intently at Tang San, "Tang San, have you ever returned to the Clear Sky Sect since you were born?"
Tang San shook his head, "I was planning to return to the Clear Sky Sect recently, but now I might have to wait until after I obtain my sixth soul ring."
Yang Xiong's tone seemed to imply something, "If you return to the Clear Sky Sect and communicate with the previous generation or even the generation before that, you will understand the Clear Sky Sect's way of doing things."
"The Soul Master world is about the survival of the fittest. I specifically came to the Star Dou Great Forest this time because I wanted to take the opportunity to eliminate the Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo. This way, I can suppress Spirit Hall's arrogant attitude, and perhaps they won't dare to act so overbearingly in the short term."
"Of course, Sect Leader Ning also expressed his gratitude to you. Your hidden weapons played a certain role in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Battle this time. Otherwise, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would probably have faced even greater difficulties."
Tang San's expression changed upon hearing this. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had indeed spent a large sum of money to purchase a large number of hidden weapons, but the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had not purchased hidden weapons from him. He knew that his teacher was aware of his hidden weapon trade with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had also had hidden weapons, perhaps they wouldn't have lost so badly.
But who could he blame for this? Blame his teacher for not telling his family, or blame the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family for neglecting his teacher?
...
After staying at the Life Lake for a day, the group prepared to leave.
However, before leaving, Yang Xiong spoke to Xiao Wu, "Little rabbit, Spirit Hall suffered heavy losses in the Star Dou Great Forest this time. I'm afraid they won't let it go."
"And you should know that Bibi Dong also has twin martial souls, and she still lacks quite a few soul rings. If they come to the Star Dou Great Forest again next time, I'm afraid Bibi Dong will personally take action. At that time, let alone you, even the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python will probably be very dangerous. The three of you had better not be so high-profile anymore."
A hint of disdain appeared on Xiao Wu's face, "If that woman dares to come to the Star Dou Great Forest, I will definitely have Da Ming and Er Ming kill her. I must avenge my mother."
Yang Xiong couldn't help but shake his head, "I've already said it, Spirit Hall is powerful, with more than ten Titled Douluo. Especially Bibi Dong, her strength is unfathomable. This time, they only sent two Titled Douluo because they were just trying to capture you. If a large number of Titled Douluo come next time, you will probably be the first to bear the brunt."
"At that time, I may not be so lucky to be able to save you."
"Oh, and one more thing, it's best if you don't reveal that we killed Spirit Hall's Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo this time. I helped you this time. If you put us in a difficult situation, then we won't even be friends anymore."
Xiao Wu, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Sky Blue Bull Python all looked thoughtful upon hearing these words. Although the two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts were powerful, Xiao Wu was almost captured this time. If Bibi Dong had really come in person, it was likely that no one present would have survived.
After Yang Xiong finished speaking, he followed Xiao Wu's instructions and prepared to find the three Thousand Jun Ant Emperors.
After Yang Xiong left, Tang San also became nervous: "Xiao Wu, come with me and leave the Star Dou Great Forest. I always feel that you are not safe here, as if you could be targeted by Spirit Hall at any time."
A hint of helplessness appeared on Xiao Wu's face: "Third Brother, here I have Da Ming and Er Ming protecting me. If I really leave the Star Dou Great Forest, where else can I go?"
Tang San thought for a moment before speaking: "Xiao Wu, I will definitely protect you. By the way, I am already level sixty now. You are familiar with the Star Dou Great Forest, please take me to find a suitable Soul Ring."
At this moment, Tang San seemed to think of something: "Da Ming, who exactly are the Di Tian and Bear Lord that Yang Xiong mentioned?"
The Sky Blue Bull Python shook its head: "I'm not sure either. I only heard these two names when I was young. There was an extremely terrifying battle back then, the scene of which was countless times more tragic than ours this time. They were two very terrifying Soul Beasts, a black giant dragon and an extremely terrifying Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. The entire Life Lake was almost destroyed, and the battle scene could be described as world-destroying."
"And I was also scared stiff at the time, only knowing that one of them was named Di Tian and the other was named Bear Lord. But I haven't seen them since then."
Tang San thought for a long time before speaking: "Xiao Wu, I need to get a Soul Ring as soon as possible. I need to return to my teacher's side as soon as possible. My teacher must be having a very difficult time right now."
