"Greetings, Deputy Tower Master."
Looking at the aloof and beautiful woman who entered, Han Tianyi's eyes flashed with a hint of caution as he leaned forward slightly.
The two who entered were Leng Yaozhu and Na'er.
Although Han Tianyi had never met Na'er, he knew Leng Yaozhu quite well.
This book was first published on Taiwan Novel Network, offering a great reading experience with error-free and orderly chapters.
This woman is the undisputed second-in-command of the Spirit Pagoda, and the Phoenix Clan she leads ranks second in the Spirit Pagoda's power, second only to the Ancient Clan.
Leng Yaozhu herself possessed extraordinary strength, not only being a rare four-word Battle Armor Master but also breaking through to the Limit Douluo cultivation level last year, truly a combination of beauty and power.
"Elder Han, you're here too."
Dressed in a red robe, Leng Yaozhu's red lips slightly curved upwards, her eyes filled with a smile.
After sweeping over Han Tianyi, she stopped at Mu Ye and Jiang Xiu, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, showing a hint of surprise.
"Long time no see, Your Majesty."
"Long time no see, Your Majesty Tianfeng
." Mu Ye coughed lightly and nodded in reply.
Leng Yaozhu and he were not much different in age, and although they were both four-word Battle Armor Masters, their cultivation levels differed greatly.
"Is the Deputy Tower Master also here to obtain soul spirits for his juniors?"
Han Tianyi looked at Na'er beside Leng Yaozhu, somewhat puzzled.
He and Leng Yaozhu usually stayed at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, but he had never heard of her having any disciples or juniors.
But at this moment, Na'er's gaze was fixed on Jiang Xiu, her beautiful eyes carrying a hint of inquiry.
"The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul, huh?
But why does it still exude an unusual pressure..."
"Geniuses in this human world are as numerous as carp crossing a river, but my Na'er's Silver Dragon Spear is no less formidable!"
Jiang Xiu also sized up the two beautiful figures, one tall and one short.
He had seen Leng Yaozhu, dressed in red and still possessing a captivating charm, in information from the outside world, but upon seeing this silver-haired woman, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul within him began to stir restlessly.
"This is my newly accepted disciple, Na'er. Na'er, please greet all the seniors."
Leng Yaozhu smiled, affectionately stroking Na'er's head with her delicate hand.
Last night, she had investigated Na'er's background. Indeed, as Na'er said, she had no parents or family, but Na'er seemed to have appeared out of thin air in Shrek City.
However, Leng Yaozhu did not delve into it further.
Instead, she used a lavish meal to lure Na'er into becoming her disciple.
After all, Na'er's Martial Soul was the strongest she had ever seen, even stronger than that person's.
It would be unreasonable not to accept her as a disciple.
"Hmm? Who? Na'er?!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiu's gaze flickered slightly as he looked at the girl before him, his mind racing.
"Has the Silver Dragon King already taken human form ahead of schedule?
Even if the Silver Dragon King did take human form and split into Gu Yue and Na'er, shouldn't Na'er become Yun Ming's disciple, not Leng Yaozhu's?"
Over the past few years, Jiang Xiu had used various methods to further confirm the current timeline, given the rapid development of soul-guided communication and the availability of much information.
"Given that Tang Wulin and I are the same age, it seems there was a problem with the Silver Dragon King's transformation.
Instead of amnesia, it split into two people, and the Na'er before him seems to lean more towards humanity."
Jiang Xiu quickly sorted out his thoughts. After all, the Abyss Tide could appear in Snow City, so he could accept the Silver Dragon King's premature transformation, although he would have to slightly modify his future plans.
"Hello, my name is Na'er."
Na'er had already greeted Han Tianyi and Mu Ye. She strode forward, her fair legs beneath her long white dress, and approached Jiang Xiu, extending her hand in a crisp voice.
"Hello, my name is Jiang Xiu."
Jiang Xiu shook her hand and smiled.
Regardless of how Na'er entered the Spirit Pagoda, he couldn't appear too deliberate in front of these powerful figures.
"Alright, Na'er, come and choose a suitable soul spirit with your master.
Elder Han, you should also quickly bring out that Dark Night Raven so your junior can absorb it."
Leng Yaozhu waved her hand, and a light screen appeared before her, subtly pointing at Han Tianyi.
She had already seen Han Tianyi hide the Dark Night Raven earlier.
"Hahaha, the Deputy Tower Master is absolutely right."
Hearing this, Han Tianyi breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that Leng Yaozhu wasn't there to find the Dark Night Raven.
Although he had already reserved the Dark Night Raven, it hadn't been fused with by Jiang Xiu yet, nor had it left this small world of souls.
If Leng Yaozhu also took a liking to it, he really didn't know what to do.
"That's right, Uncle-Master, hurry up and bring it out so Xiao Xiu can try it out."
Mu Ye said expectantly.
"This is working time, address me by my title."
Han Tianyi glared at Mu Ye, then stopped hiding it. His strong hand clenched in the air, and silver ripples appeared in front of him.
The Dark Night Raven that had disappeared earlier was now imprisoned in a cage constructed of spiritual power, struggling constantly, its ferocious nature fully revealed.
"Xiao Xiu, once you've made up your mind, just do it bravely. Your master and your grand-uncle are both here."
Mu Ye patted Jiang Xiu's shoulder, his eyes filled with encouragement.
"Okay!"
A hint of bloodlust flickered in Jiang Xiu's purple eyes as he resolutely walked towards the Dark Night Raven.
"Caw!"
Seeing someone approaching, the Dark Night Raven struggled even more fiercely, its body radiating dark soul power, its sharp claws constantly striking the cage, but it couldn't damage it in the slightest.
Jiang Xiu raised his left hand, and a tall, dark shadow appeared from behind him, its blood-red eyes fixed intently on the Dark Night Raven before him.
"Ready? Let's begin!"
Han Tianyi's voice fell, followed by obscure incantations.
A six-pointed star array enveloped Jiang Xiu and the Dark Night Raven—this was the Spirit Transfer Ritual.
Ordinary soul beasts could directly form a soul spirit contract with a soul master, as they were already trained by the Spirit Transfer Tower.
However, unyielding soul spirits were slightly different.
They possessed an indomitable will and would never form a contract with a human soul master, thus requiring the assistance of the Spirit Transfer Ritual to establish a contract platform.
But more importantly, it depended on whether the soul master could withstand the impact of the unyielding soul spirit.
"Buzz!"
A buzzing sound rang out, and the Dark Night Raven seemed to sense something as well.
Its blood-red eyes filled with ferocity, and a layer of darkness covered its sharp beak and claws.
Just then, the mental cage that imprisoned it vanished, and the strange golden runes within the six-pointed star array surged towards Jiang Xiu and its body, drawing Jiang Xiu closer.
Outside the six-pointed star array, the four people had different expressions, but they were all watching the events unfolding within the array closely, with Mu Ye especially ready to intervene at any moment.
"Screech!"
A piercing scream rang out.
The Dark Night Raven, instead of resisting the pull of the golden light, charged straight at Jiang Xiu, its claws sharp enough to pierce even the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, aiming for Jiang Xiu's head.
"Shadow King, go!"
Jiang Xiu's expression remained calm, his eyes now bloodshot, radiating a chilling aura.
With Jiang Xiu's low shout, the Shadow King behind him flashed, its massive hand crashing down upon the Dark Night Raven.
