Zhongli Wu's words irritated Xuanzi.
He had thought this operation would go off without a hitch. Xuanzi had already mentally prepared to pay with his life if necessary to eliminate Huo Yuhao, the still-developing unparalleled genius.
But now, the situation made him feel uncertain.
He couldn't help but feel that Zhongli Wu and the Holy Spirit Sect were unreliable. Add to that the Sun and Moon Empire's reaction — it was obvious they had anticipated this all along.
So… could they really kill Huo Yuhao in front of Jing Hongchen, Ye Yulin, and all these Level 9 Soul Engineers?
Even Xuanzi, the one actually involved, didn't have full confidence. But with no other choice, he had to act alongside Zhongli Wu.
Realizing this, Xuanzi stopped hesitating.
He cast a deep glance at Huo Yuhao, let out a roar, and activated his Martial Soul true form, transforming into a monstrous, gluttonous divine ox.
The next instant, he charged straight at Huo Yuhao.
Seeing Xuanzi move, Zhongli Wu dared not delay either. He truly feared the top-tier warriors of the Sun and Moon Empire arriving one by one.
To cut through the chaos decisively, Zhongli Wu unleashed his full power and clashed head-on with Ye Yulin.
For a time, the entire Soul Master Competition arena descended into chaos. Thankfully, with the Empire's high-level officials present, the spectators were quickly evacuated in an orderly fashion, preventing trampling or collateral damage.
Watching this, Titan from the Haotian Sect's prepared stand turned his gaze toward Wang Dong'er on the battlefield.
Xuanzi and Zhongli Wu were too incompetent — they couldn't even handle something this simple. He really shouldn't have relied on them at all.
Just as Titan hesitated, wondering whether to take Wang Dong'er away himself, Gu Yue'na suddenly locked her gaze on him.
With her god-level spiritual power, Gu Yue'na's calm voice echoed in Titan's mind:
"No matter what you intend, I advise you to behave. Otherwise, I will not let you off like I did five years ago."
Titan's face twitched, and his fists clenched instinctively.
Ever since being sacrificed to Tang San ten thousand years ago — and receiving godly power from him along with Niu Tian — Titan had never endured such humiliation.
Frankly, if it weren't for Tang San's backing, he could have done whatever he wanted on Douluo Continent.
But Gu Yue'na's attitude now reminded him of his days in the Star Dou Forest, standing guard over the gates alongside Niu Tian and other fierce beasts.
Back then, even as a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, his status had been so low.
Now, having finally risen, Titan certainly did not want to return to those days.
This time, he refused to bow and boldly responded to Gu Yue'na:
"I'm advising you not to interfere with Wang Dong'er. The person behind him — even you, Silver Dragon King and leader of the soul beasts, cannot provoke!
"Let me take Wang Dong'er, and we go our separate ways!
"You should know, Niu Tian and I are no longer soul beasts!"
Gu Yue'na's eyes narrowed, a glint of killing intent appearing.
Titan's meaning was clear: no longer being soul beasts, they had no obligation to obey the commands of their former overlord.
But Gu Yue'na couldn't understand how this traitor had the audacity to speak so boldly in front of her.
Did he really think Tang San's backing allowed him to do as he pleased?
Her voice turned icy, resonating in Titan's mind once more, accompanied by the immense pressure of the Silver Dragon King.
"Are you threatening me?"
Feeling Gu Yue'na's overwhelming presence, Titan's teeth trembled, yet he forced himself to reply:
"It's not a threat. I'm stating a fact.
"You know the situation in the Divine Realm — it's ruled by the Five Great God Kings.
"Niu Tian and I now serve the Asura God King among them.
"And you know how the gods treat the soul beast race. What we've done is for the sake of the soul beasts' well-being!
"As their leader, you should want this too. If you don't want the soul beasts punished, don't stop me from taking Wang Dong'er."
A trace of mockery appeared on Gu Yue'na's flawless face.
Even without knowing the future from Huo Yuhao's diary, she would never trust those so-called gods.
If given the chance, those gods would likely wipe out the soul beast race entirely.
Claiming it was all to save the soul beasts' fate? Titan was just sugarcoating his actions.
Gu Yue'na ignored the ongoing battle, her gaze fixed on Titan. She said without hesitation:
"If you want to die, go ahead and make a move!
"I guarantee, if you dare take Wang Dong'er, you will die a miserable death!
"Don't think that having backing allows you to threaten me!"
If it weren't for worrying about the unknown contingencies Tang San had left on Titan and Niu Tian, Gu Yue'na would have personally killed them five years ago.
How could they now act so boldly in front of her?
Titan fell silent.
He could sense that Gu Yue'na wasn't joking.
If he forcibly took Wang Dong'er, Gu Yue'na would likely act immediately.
Even with Niu Tian's god-level power, they could never match the Silver Dragon King.
Realizing this, Titan felt frustrated.
He wanted a do-or-die showdown with Gu Yue'na.
But thinking about whether Tang San could resurrect him if he died, he decided to swallow his pride.
If Tang San's millennia-long plans were ruined, Xiao Wu might indeed be angry with him.
But if he died… it would be game over — he would never see Xiao Wu again.
Titan clearly knew which mattered more.
Gu Yue'na recognized that Titan had chosen to back down, no longer bothering with this traitor of the soul beast race.
Instead, she turned her attention to Xuanzi and Zhongli Wu, locked in fierce combat with Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin.
This battle was about to become the final highlight of their lives!
