Don't look, I'll change it tomorrow.
Hun Xiu was stunned when he heard Ayin's words.
He shook his head and said, "I don't have such thoughts. I just want to unify the Douluo Continent.
"The Douluo Continent will be ruled by the Martial Soul Empire.
"Even the Great Star Dou Forest, which is the largest territory for soul beasts, is no exception. Soul beasts are still wild soul beasts. I won't choose to rear them.
"In this world, the strong are revered. If they are weak, they can only be hunted down by the strong. If they are strong enough to hunt soul masters, I won't say anything.
"Survival of the fittest!
This is the supreme law of the continent!
"I just want a title, a title to unify the Great Star Dou Forest."
Hun Xiu didn't have any thoughts about a group of soul beasts, but this was the mission!
He originally thought that the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire would be completely unified.
He didn't expect the system to unify the entire Douluo Continent, which naturally included the Great Star Dou Forest.
.....
"If you just want a title?
You might succeed. "
Ayin heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Hun Xiu's words. She hesitated for a moment, then slowly opened her mouth.
"Yes!"
Hun Xiu said plainly, "I want it to succeed."
He was incomparably domineering and unquestionable!
.....
After the Martial Soul Empire unified the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, the Empress of the Martial Soul Empire, Bibi Dong, announced that she would go into closed-door cultivation. She handed over all important matters of the empire to Qian Renxue.
Bibi Dong seemed to have sensed something, which was why she chose to go into closed-door cultivation. The next time she came out, she might be even stronger!
Hun Xiu also discussed his plans to make a move on the Great Star Dou Forest with Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue naturally supported her "father's" decision!
The next day.
Hun Xiu summoned Tang San and Xiao Wu.
He told Tang San and Xiao Wu about his plans to include the Great Star Dou Forest in the Martial Soul Empire's territory.
When Tang San and Xiao Wu heard this, there was only one word in their minds to describe Hun Xiu, and that was "madman".
The two empires didn't choose to extend their influence into the Great Star Dou Forest even when they were at their peak. Now that Hun Xiu wanted to extend his influence into the Great Star Dou Forest, what else could he be but a lunatic?
Hun Xiu did not seem to mind Tang San and Xiao Wu's gazes as he continued, "This idea is indeed somewhat crazy, but I have already made up my mind."
Hearing this, Tang San and Xiao Wu could not help but complain in their hearts, "Isn't this a little crazy?"
"This is super crazy, okay?"
Tang San said, "So, why did you call the two of us here?"
Tang San's voice fell.
Tang San quickly thought of something and looked at Hun Xiu in horror.
Obviously.
Tang San had already guessed what Hun Xiu wanted him to do.
.....
Hun Xiu looked at Tang San's terrified expression and instantly understood that Tang San had already guessed it. He slowly said, "Looking at your expression, I believe you've already guessed it. That's right, your little girlfriend is a hundred thousand year soul beast. According to what I know, she has an unusual relationship with the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, the two overlords of the forest."
"Therefore, I need you and your little girlfriend to go to the Great Star Dou Forest and persuade them to surrender to the Martial Soul Empire, and include the Great Star Dou Forest in the Martial Soul Empire's territory."
"You're really not treating me as a human!" Tang San muttered to himself when he heard this.
Then, Tang San looked at Xiao Wu.
She did not immediately answer Hun Xiu's question.
At this moment, Xiao Wu said, "I need to think about it properly!
Can you give me some time? "
"Of course."
Hun Xiu nodded slightly and said, "I can give you some time, but I hope you won't make me wait too long."
"Okay!"
Xiao Wu nodded.
Then, Xiao Wu and Tang San left.
.....
In Xiao Wu's room.
After making sure that no one was eavesdropping, Xiao Wu looked at Tang San and said, "Brother San, what do you think?"
Tang San said helplessly, "Xiao Wu, you know how strong the Martial Soul Empire is. They are very powerful now."
"Qian Xunji has set his sights on the Great Star Dou Forest. He must have made some preparations.
If we refuse, he must have other tricks up his sleeve! "
"Therefore …"
Tang San didn't continue speaking after that. He believed that Xiao Wu already understood what he meant.
Xiao Wu was very smart.
She had stayed in the Martial Soul Empire for more than a year, and she had some understanding of the Martial Soul Empire's strength.
If the Martial Soul Empire knew that they wanted to include the Great Star Dou Forest in their territory, the Martial Soul Empire had the ability to do so.
However, Da Ming and Er Ming in the Great Star Dou Forest could not stop the Martial Soul Empire.
If they did not compromise, Da Ming and Er Ming would die in the Great Star Dou Forest!
Without them, the Great Star Dou Forest would be the beginning of a nightmare for all soul beasts in the Great Star Dou Forest!
The only choice.
It was a compromise.
Compromise with Hun Xiu and the Martial Soul Empire!
In the face of absolute power, compromise was the only option!
Xiao Wu thought about it for a long time, and finally chose to compromise. "I understand. Let's go find Qian Xunji tomorrow, then return to the Great Star Dou Forest!"
Xiao Wu believed him.
With his relationship with the Great Ming Dynasty and the Er Ming Dynasty, he was confident that he could convince them to surrender to the Martial Soul Empire.
.....
The next day.
In Hun Xiu's study.
Tang San and Xiao Wu appeared.
Hun Xiu looked at Tang San and Xiao Wu. "What? You've made up your mind in one day?"
"Yes!"
Tang San nodded. "We've made up our minds. Today, we're here to bid you farewell, and we'll immediately set off for the Great Star Dou Forest.
We'll strive to include the Great Star Dou Forest in the Martial Soul Empire's territory without sacrificing a single soul. "
"Very good!"
"Since you've decided to set off, take me with you!"
"I've been friends with the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape for a long time."
"Hmm?"
Tang San and Xiao Wu faltered slightly upon hearing Hun Xiu's words. Neither of them had thought that Hun Xiu would agree to go to the Great Star Dou Forest with them.
After waking up from their daze, Xiao Wu and Tang San immediately turned to Hun Xiu with wary expressions.
This was especially so for Xiao Wu.
In Xiao Wu's opinion.
Hun Xiu wanted to include the Great Star Dou Forest in the Martial Soul Empire's territory, but Hun Xiu's ultimate goal was to have them lead the way to Da Ming and Er Ming.
He wanted to kill them!
Was Hun Xiu's ultimate goal to obtain their soul rings?
Hun Xiu looked at the wary Xiao Wu and Tang San, and immediately knew what they were thinking. He explained, "I've been a Titled Douluo for many years. I don't need a hundred thousand year soul ring!"
"You can rest assured!"
If I really wanted to hunt down the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, I wouldn't need you two to lead the way!
If I brought the powerful beings of the Martial Soul Empire to the Great Star Dou Forest, I'd be able to find the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
There's no need for all these tricks. "
"That …"
After hearing Hun Xiu's words, Tang San and Xiao Wu thought about it carefully, and it really did seem to be the case.
With Hun Xiu's power and the Martial Soul Empire's foundation, there was no need for him to go through all this trouble.
"Could it be that we're overthinking things?"
Tang San and Xiao Wu murmured to themselves.
In the end, they agreed to Hun Xiu's request.
Just like that.
The three of them decided to go to the Great Star Dou Forest. Because Hun Xiu had joined them, Hun Xiu took Tang San and Xiao Wu with him.
They arrived at the Great Star Dou Forest in just an hour.
Speed was also a part of one's power.
Hun Xiu brought the two of them to the Great Star Dou Forest in an hour. In terms of speed, Hun Xiu was almost unstoppable.
Xiao Wu walked in front!
Because of Xiao Wu, no soul beasts blocked their way. The three of them entered the Great Star Dou Forest without any obstructions.
In the depths of the Great Star Dou Forest, there was a huge lake surrounded by dense trees.
"Roar …"
A roar that caused the entire Great Star Dou Forest to tremble rang out. When all the soul beasts in the Great Star Dou Forest heard this roar, they all lay on the ground and trembled.
This roar didn't come from any other soul beast. It came from the Titan Giant Ape, known as the king of the forest.
Following this roar, the entire Great Star Dou Forest trembled.
The ground of the entire Great Star Dou Forest was trembling. Very soon, a huge figure appeared in front of Hun Xiu and the others.
The Titan Giant Ape was like a small mountain as it ran towards them. As the Titan Giant Ape moved, the ground beneath its feet trembled slightly.
From this, one could see how terrifying the Titan Giant Ape was!
This Titan Giant Ape was the Er Ming that Xiao Wu had mentioned.
It was a domineering soul beast, but it had such a "weak" name. This name didn't match its domineering appearance at all!
Er Ming had clearly smelled Xiao Wu's aura, which was why it ran over excitedly.
"Er Ming!"
When she saw Er Ming running towards them, Xiao Wu stepped forward and ran towards the Titan Giant Ape. Just as they were about to collide, Xiao Wu bent her legs slightly and shot out like a cannonball. She jumped more than ten meters into the air and finally landed on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder.
A human and a beast.
It was a perfect example of a beauty and a beast!
"Er Ming, long time no see."
Xiao Wu stroked Er Ming's head.
"Sister Xiao Wu, you're finally back," Er Ming said in the human language.
"Er Ming, where's Da Ming?" Xiao Wu asked.
Xiao Wu's voice trailed off.
The calm lake suddenly began to boil, as if some primordial beast was about to break out of its seal.
Huge horns emerged from the calm surface of the lake, followed by a huge body.
Massive bull horns.
A massive body.
It was extremely majestic and domineering.
This was the king of the forest, the Sky Azure Bull Python!
It had the characteristics of a bull and the body of a python. Had the old bull cheated?
Or had the python fallen in love with a bull?
"Sister Xiao Wu, I'm here!"
Da Ming poked his head out, revealing half of his body. Most of his body was still in the lake.
"Da Ming!"
Xiao Wu yelled.
.....
"That's the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape?"
Tang San was completely dumbstruck, and the astonishment in his heart was indescribable even though he was already prepared for this.
Tang San knew about the existence of the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, but when he came into contact with them at such close range, he was still shocked.
He couldn't help but draw a sharp breath.
In contrast, Hun Xiu was quite calm. The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were both very powerful soul beasts, but in Hun Xiu's eyes, they were only so-so.
Among Douluos, they were the pinnacle of soul beasts, but in Hun Xiu's eyes, they were still far too weak.
They didn't even have the right to become his steed.
Of course.
He was no longer the Hun Xiu that he used to be. He was only a Rank 99 Transcendent Douluo now.
Compared to them...
He was only a hundred million points stronger.
There was nothing to be proud of.
.....
Before Xiao Wu, the Sky Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape could say anything, Hun Xiu stepped forward, and said, "Sky Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape, I'll give you a chance to submit to me!"
"Hmm?"
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were both taken aback by Hun Xiu's words.
The Sky Azure Bull Python came to a realization, and asked, "Is he your friend, Sister Xiao Wu?"
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape completely ignored Hun Xiu's words. In their eyes, he was an idiot.
He was spouting nonsense here.
If it weren't for the fact that he had come with Sister Xiao Wu and was very likely to be her friend, they would have thrown this boastful fellow out of the Great Star Dou Forest.
They were the overlords and emperors of the Great Star Dou Forest, and they wouldn't submit to anyone.
Xiao Wu shook her head upon hearing this. "No!"
"Oh!"
The Sky Azure Bull Python immediately understood what was going on. As long as he wasn't Sister Xiao Wu's friend, then everything would be fine. All they had to do was throw him out of the Great Star Dou Forest.
The Sky Azure Bull Python said, "Human, since you're not Sister Xiao Wu's friend, then please leave this place!"
Its tone was still quite gentle.
"What if I say no?"
"Hmm?"
The Sky Azure Bull Python was clearly taken aback by Hun Xiu's words. He was rejecting its good intentions!
Since he had rejected its good intentions, then it couldn't be blamed for being merciless!
"Human, since you've rejected my good intentions, then don't blame me for being merciless."
As soon as the Sky Azure Bull Python's voice trailed off, a massive tail descended from the lake toward Hun Xiu.
This tail was imbued with extremely terrifying power.
If a normal Titled Douluo were to be struck by this tail, they would've been severely injured, if not killed.
Hun Xiu looked at the descending tail, and murmured to himself, "I wonder if such a massive tail is going to be used to make soup?
Or is it going to be roasted? "
The Angelic Holy Sword appeared in Hun Xiu's hand.
Whoosh!
He slashed out with the sword!
A sharp golden sword aura tore through the air!
Boom!
It landed on the Sky Azure Bull Python's massive tail.
The tail was covered with ice-cold scales, and the scales were as hard as armor!
Hun Xiu's sword aura was extremely sharp, but when it landed on the scales of the tail, it only created a series of sparks.
He didn't manage to completely sever the tail.
This sword aura...
Although it didn't completely sever the tail, it still struck it. With a splash, the massive tail fell back into the lake.
Waves splashed everywhere!
"Despicable human!"
"I'm angry!"
The Sky Azure Bull Python seemed to be in pain as it roared angrily.
"Roar …"
Its voice rang out like a thunderclap, echoing throughout the entire Great Star Dou Forest. It only wanted to teach Hun Xiu a lesson.
It didn't expect Hun Xiu to be so despicable!
It was in so much pain!
It was angry.
It wanted to kill Hun Xiu here forever.
At this moment, the Sky Azure Bull Python was exuding a domineering aura, and its eyes were bloodshot as it stared fixedly at Hun Xiu!
Violent power surged around the Sky Azure Bull Python's body!
At this moment, the Sky Azure Bull Python was like a primordial beast!
It was extremely ferocious!
