Chapter 916: Getting Closer to the Truth

Lou Mu Yan three couldn’t help but feel shocked when they saw the soul balls floating around.

Among these soul balls, at least half of them were Unification Realm Sword Masters from the Four Realms.

Every person locked in the soul balls had a painful and grim expression, as if they were enduring great torture.

Ming Xiu and Lou Mu Yan’s eyes turned cold. These aliens simply regarded Guang’ling World as a place they could plunder and slaughter at will, and the downfall of so many Unification Realm powerhouses were actually related to them.

Jiu You stared fixedly at some of the soul balls with scarlet eyes, extremely resentful—if he hadn’t deliberately restrained himself, he almost wanted to rush up and break the soul balls.

“Are those members of your Nine-Headed Hydra Clan?” Lou Mu Yan telepathically said to Jiu You, “Be patient for a while, we can’t reveal ourselves yet.”

Jiu You clenched his fists tightly, suppressing his emotions, and said in a very pained voice, “They are brothers from my King Father’s generation. A thousand years ago, they went out to journey and never returned, but their Soul Tablets weren’t broken, yet who expected that they had already died.”

These damned aliens were doing such shameless and cruel things behind their backs.

Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu were also very angry. These soul balls even imprisoned the souls of many advanced-level human powerhouses.

Under normal circumstances, Sword Masters with a cultivation base above Core Elemental Realm would leave their Soul Tablets behind in their clans, and if they died, the Soul Tablets would be shattered. Most clans and forces in the Four Realms had always used them.

But now there were thousands of soul balls floating, while the Soul Jade Tablets of Jiu You’s uncles who had died hadn’t shattered, which meant that the aliens must’ve used some cover-up methods.

Otherwise, with so many powerhouses at Unification Realm in the Four Realms dying one after another, it would definitely cause panic and the attention of the superiors of the Four Realms.

“Let’s dive down to take a look.” Ming Xiu narrowed his eyes, restraining the murderous look in them.

The three dived all the way down, and the soul balls floating around began to gradually decease.

After about half a day, they found a very large, mutated beast with blue flames enveloping its entire body in the magma sea.

The pressure emanating from the alien beast was so strong that Jiu You couldn’t stand it and rose back to the top before getting close.

Ming Xiu was already half step to Immortal and was only missing a unified enlightenment to reach Immortal. Lou Mu Yan’s body was very strong, and her mental energy was very close to Immortal, so the two of them weren’t overwhelmed by that pressure.

The two slowly approached the alien beast and found more than a dozen soul balls of different colours floating around the huge beast.

The two inspected them carefully and found that the souls in the soul balls were very powerful, and their cultivation bases when they were living should’ve reached half-step to Immortal.

“What kind of demonic beast is this? I think the aura it exudes is somewhat being rejected by the surrounding Laws.” Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows and telepathically said to Ming Xiu.

Ming Xiu thought about it, then replied: “I’ve seen this kind of creature in a document on alien worlds. They’re called Fire Luan Beasts. They’re a very noble royal family in the Void Night World, and the aliens that control the Void Night World are in-laws with them.”

“They’re not native creatures to Guang’ling World. Since they’ve been lurking here for ten thousand years, they must be plotting something.” Lou Mu Yan rubbed her chin and said: “I think our previous speculation may be getting closer to the truth.”

“Mm, they should actually be the real trump cards for the aliens to use to fight against Guang’ling World two years later. Those demonic beasts cultivated in various realms are just a cover-up method for the aliens as food for the Fire Luan Beast.”

Ming Xiu’s eyes were filled with a cold light, “If someone in the Four Realms really discovered those demonic beasts, then they wouldn’t think too deeply. They made back-up plans.”

Lou Mu Yan nodded: “When the time comes to fight, maybe they’ll send some Yin Soul Beasts and Sea Soul Beasts to fight to attract the attention of the powerhouses of the Four Realms, then release these Fire Luan Beasts to attack.”

She could imagine that if no one in the Four Realms discovered the existence of these Fire Luan Beasts, once the war really started, no matter what preparations they had made, they would definitely be overwhelmed and taken by surprise, and the possibility of winning was very slim.

After all, these Fire Luan Beasts here weren’t only many in numbers, but also had strong cultivation bases, and they could sweep all the continental powerhouses on Guang’ling World away.

They had been lurking not only to prepare for the battle, but also use Gung’ling World as a soul bank, extracting powerful souls to devour and refine at any time and use vicious techniques to improve their cultivation strength.

When Lou Mu Yan and the two snuck closer, the figure of the burly man in red also fell in front of the huge, mutated beast.

He saluted respectfully, “Greetings, Great King.”

The Fire Luan Beast King who had his eyes closed lazily opened his eyes and asked calmly: “What’s the matter?”

“Princess asked me to come over and ask if any humans have intruded into this territory recently.” The red-clothed burly man replied cautiously.

He knew that the Fire Luan Beast King opposite wasn’t only powerful and unfathomable, but also very fickle and irritable. If he wasn’t happy, even members of their own clan would be seriously injured by him.

“She had asked me to kill those little fellows called Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu before, and now keeps asking, isn’t she making a big fuss.”

The Fire Luan Beast King continued with a bit of impatience in his eyes: “Your princess is really regressing, two juniors are making her almost lose her sense of control.”

The burly man in red cursed inwardly, but still said with a respectful smile on his face: “Mainly because their performance in the Foreign Battlefield is simply too outstanding. Our Void Night World is also a team on the red side that lost on the Foreign Battlefield. The resources were handed over in huge amounts. These two cannot be kept.”

Be it because Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu caused their loss in the Foreign Battlefield, or because they were trying to sabotage their plan to capture Guang’ling World, they couldn’t be allowed to continue to live.

“Humph, two little children make you all fear like this, is it that it’s too peaceful ever since coming to Guang’ling World.” The Fire Luan Beast King was prideful by nature with noble blood and looked down upon the ethnic groups on Guang’ling World.

He couldn’t understand what the princess did and why she was so worried. Instead, he felt that the more she lived, the timider she became, and she had lost that identity as the princess of the Void Night World.

The burly man in red could guess what the Fire Luan Beast King was thinking, and pursed his lips inwardly—these were just a group of fellows with ‘well-developed limbs but a simple mind’, and who knew how much inferior they were to Princess, yet they dared to disrespect Princess.

But in front of the Fire Luan Beast King, he naturally wouldn’t reveal his thoughts.

“Great King, this is the information that Princess asked me to show you, please have a read.” The red-clothed burly man handed over the jade slips with information on Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu.

The Fire Luan Beast King furrowed his brows. The jade slips automatically fell from the hands of the burly man in red and landed between his brows.

He perused it, pondered for a moment, then said: “These two little children have indeed done well in the Foreign Battlefield and shone brilliantly, but in the face of absolute strength, this King believes that they are also powerless.

“Of course, your worries aren’t unreasonable. If they break into this place, I guarantee that they can come but never leave, and become two among these soul orbs.”

The Fire Luan Beast King looked down on Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu, but he became more vigilant after reading the information.

Wasn’t it just killing two little fellows?

As long as those two people broke into the cave, he could crush them to death with one claw.
