Lu Xuan put the beast cores into his storage ring, then looked up at Hu Tong and said, "Let them rest and reorganize. Also, ask them if there are any others who participated in the beast tide and haven't left the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
"This old man understands." Hu Tong cupped his hands, then left to give orders to the demonic beasts.
Lu Xuan left with Little Tanuki and found a quiet place to wait. He'd just obtained a Soul Bead and the Thick-Earth Silver Striped Python's beast core. Both were of great use to him, so he naturally had to improve his strength first.
While Lu Xuan was training in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Peony Palace's battle with the beast tide was in full swing. The area bordering the Peony Palace and the Hundred Thousand Mountains was quite large. Under the control of the Hun race, countless beast tides had begun to invade over the past dozen days. Under the control of the Hun clansmen, each Demonic Emperor was equivalent to a clone. They didn't even need to show themselves, and it was enough to turn the Peony Palace upside down.
However, the Nine East Alliance's response was very timely. Long Boming and the others were only the first wave of experts to arrive. More experts followed closely behind. Some of the large border cities were overseen by Grand Void Realm experts in order to deal with the Demonic Emperors in the beast tide.
However, after suffering a few losses, the Hun race had learned their lesson. The beast tide didn't invade the large cities, but instead spread out in small towns and cities. As a result, the Nine East Alliance was forced into a passive position. They were drawn in by several beast tides, and could only run for their lives, putting out fires everywhere. Even some Spirit Refinement realm cultivators were sent to the front lines.
As a result, the residents of the small towns suffered. In the face of the enormous beast tide, they had no ability to resist at all. Often, when the beast tide arrived, they only had time to send out a call for help before they were flattened by the beast tide. The beast tide then moved on to other areas.
Ten days passed, and the beast tide was still wreaking havoc. Some had even taken a detour to the center of the Peony Palace's territory. The beast tide wasn't as easily pacified as everyone had imagined.
With the aid of the Jiuhua Alliance, they thought they could easily repel the wave of beasts. Unfortunately, the intelligence of the beasts this time was incomparable to that of the past.
At this moment, in the City Lord's Mansion of Hundred Flowers City, a group of leaders gathered together and looked at the two Soul Orbs on the table. Naturally, they had killed more than two Demon Emperors. However, every time a Demon Emperor died, the Soul Orbs would escape in time. They had also spent a lot of effort to obtain these two Soul Orbs.
"What is this thing? It's clearly not a Demonic Core. Why is it in every Demonic Emperor's body? And it seems to have a mind of its own. After a Demonic Emperor dies, it even knows to flee, "said Chen Rong solemnly. This beast tide's behavior was too strange.
For a moment, everyone looked at Long Boming. Among them, he was the oldest and most knowledgeable.
Long Boming frowned slightly. After a while, he slowly said, "If I'm not wrong, this thing should be … Soul Pearl!"
"Soul Pearl?" Many people revealed doubtful expressions. They thought that they were experienced and knowledgeable, but they seemed to have never heard of such a thing.
Zhao Ying's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly remembered what Lu Xuan had told her before he left.
"According to the ancient records, the Soul Orb is an item possessed by a race called the Soul Race. They are born with powerful Soul Force, and with their powerful Soul Force, they can condense a Soul Orb. With this item, they can transform other creatures into Soul Slaves and control them." Long Boming's frown deepened. He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I'm afraid we're in big trouble this time."
Long Boming suddenly rose to his feet. "This won't do. I must return to the Jiuhua Alliance and report this to the Alliance Leader. If it really is the Soul Tribe, then the Alliance Leader must make a decision."
"Then I'll open the portal. Please hurry, Elder Long." Shen Rong also stood up. He couldn't sit still when he heard the severity of Long Boming's words. After all, countless towns under Hundred Flowers City's rule had been massacred in such a short period of time.
With the portal, it didn't take long to travel from Hundred Flowers City to the Jiuhua Alliance. Soon, the two Soul Pearls were placed in front of a middle-aged man. At this moment, his expression was solemn and dignified. Upon closer inspection, he actually looked sixty percent similar to Lu Xuan!
It was just that Lu Xuan appeared to be a little more handsome than him. He was not as rigid as him, and there was a hint of gentleness to him. If one were to disregard these similarities between Lu Xuan and him, that hint of gentleness and beauty somewhat resembled Zhao Ying.
This person was the Alliance Leader of the Jiuhua Alliance, Ye Wuhen!
At this moment, Ye Wuhen had his hands behind his back. His eyes were fixed on the two Soul Pearls. The things that had happened tens of thousands of years ago, passed down from the generations of Alliance Leaders, surfaced in his mind. Only he knew what this meant.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated. He took the two Soul Pearls and walked into the side room. With a wave of his hand, he activated a formation. Before long, a blurry figure appeared in front of him, and then gradually became clearer.
It was a burly man with a slightly rugged appearance. At first glance, he didn't look like a good person. However, since Ye Wuhen had personally contacted him, he was no ordinary person. He was He Ritian, the Island Lord of Ten Thousand Shark Island, one of the only four fifth-grade sects on the Heavenly Sword Continent! In terms of status, he was no less than Ye Wuhen. In the sea, Ten Thousand Shark Island was the well-deserved overlord!
"Wuhen, what can I do for you? Damn it, I've been so busy lately. Many islands have been attacked by the Beast Tide, "He Ritian's voice came through.
Ye Wuhen's expression was a little serious. "Ritian, let me show you something."
After saying this, Ye Wuhen held the two Soul Pearls in front of his eyes.
"What the hell is this thing? Demonic Core? "He Ritian didn't realize what it was.
"Soul Pearls!" Ye Wuhen simply spat out these two words.
Hearing these two words, He Ritian's expression suddenly turned serious. He said in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"
Ye Wuhen was a little impatient. She said, "Can you speak normally at a time like this?"
He Ritian smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, sorry, I'm used to it. But, are these really Soul Pearls?"
"Yes, when I learned that the entire Heavenly Sword Continent was attacked by the Beast Tide, I vaguely felt that something was wrong, so I sent people to the Hundred Thousand Mountains very early. These are the Soul Pearls they obtained from killing a few Demon Emperors just now. Some of the Soul Pearls escaped," Ye Wuhen said carefully. "Now it seems that this Beast Tide is indeed caused by the Soul Clan!"
He Ritian suddenly slapped his head. "I was wondering why this Beast Tide was so smart. Those Sea Demons didn't stop at all after attacking an island. Instead, they directly went into the sea. It took a lot of effort to kill a group of them. This is completely different from the usual Beast Tides."
Although the Myriad Shark Island had also killed some Sea Demon Emperors, with the cover of the sea, it was easier for the Soul Pearls to escape. Until now, the Myriad Shark Island had not even noticed the existence of the Soul Pearls, let alone capture them. After all, unless it was someone like Lu Xuan who had mastered the Soul-searching Technique, how could he find out whether a Demon Emperor had a soul or not?
After a pause, He Ritian continued, "But why did the Soul Clan suddenly appear? Weren't they all sealed in the beginning?"
A trace of confusion flashed in Ye Wuhen's eyes. She murmured, "But so far, the seal has lasted for nearly 30,000 years. We have no ability to repair the seal at all. After so many years, I'm afraid the seal has long been loosened. Moreover, the Soul Clan's ability is mysterious and unpredictable. It's not impossible for some of their clansmen to escape."
"What do you think?" He Ritian's expression gradually turned solemn. This was definitely not a trivial matter. Although the entire Heavenly Sword Continent was now ruled by the Human Clan, and the Demon Clan could only hide in the forest, once the seal was broken and the Soul Clan appeared, the entire Human Clan of the Heavenly Sword Continent would most likely be wiped out!
"The most urgent matter right now is to kill these members of the Soul Clan who have escaped. Since they don't dare to show up and instead use the Demon Clan to deal with us, it means that they don't have the strength to fight us head-on, "Ye Wuhen said decisively.
He Ritian frowned deeply. "It's going to be extremely difficult to find them. Even the almighty from back then couldn't find all of them. He could only seal off the entire place where they were hiding."
"Since they have appeared, they will definitely give themselves away. We need to kill these members of the Soul Clan as soon as possible. I guess the reason why they launched the Beast Tide was to hold us back and give other members of the Soul Clan a chance to break the seal. No matter what, we can't let them succeed. After dealing with the Beast Tide, we will send people to the sealed area and kill all the remaining members of the Soul Clan. "There was no hesitation in Ye Wuhen's words. Clearly, she already had a comprehensive plan.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. You are the best strategist. I'm only responsible for doing the hard work. I'll think of a way to deal with the Beast Tide first." He Ritian waved his hand and said, "Since you know it's the Soul Clan, hehe, don't think that I'm easy to bully."
Ye Wuhen continued, "Inform the Holy Palace of Eight Corners and the Illusionary God Sect of this news first. Let them prepare. It's not suitable for me to inform them."
Hearing this, He Ritian couldn't help but chuckle. "You also know that it's not suitable for you to inform them? Now that I think about it, I still admire your courage. Back then, Sikong Xin was the object of countless people's pursuit. Even I had some feelings for her. I didn't expect that after she married you, you would kill her in a fit of anger. Such a rare beauty died just like that. "
Ye Wuhen glared at him and said, "Can you cut the crap? Ying 'er still hasn't come to see me. I still have something to do, so I can't talk to you anymore. Remember to inform her."
"Little girl, you're more popular than me. So what if you're good-looking? Hey!" Seeing the scene in front of him go black, He Ritian immediately knew that Ye Wuhen had closed the tactical deployment. He was so angry that he stomped his feet.
