Chapter 51 Departure.
Seeing that Wu Xuan and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion were unharmed, Elder Xuan took another swig of wine from his gourd, his gaze then shifting to the corpse of the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound, which possessed 50,000 years of cultivation.
"This is…" Elder Xuan seemed to have discovered something, putting away his gourd and reaching for the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound's left leg.
Zhang Lexuan and Chu Qingtian, as inner courtyard disciples, understood the meaning behind Elder Xuan's actions.
Wu Xuan also watched Elder Xuan curiously, forming a partial guess in his mind.
A heavy, earth-yellow soul force condensed in Elder Xuan's palm, and with a bang, the flesh of the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound's left leg shattered.
A dazzling fiery red light erupted from Elder Xuan's hand, followed by an incomparably surging and scorching aura, instantly freezing the surrounding space.
"A soul bone!" Chu Qingtian exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone looked at the soul bone, which was fiery red and semi-transparent, with flowing light inside like a magnificent ruby. Moreover, the soul bone was perfectly intact, indicating its extremely high quality.
Elder Xuan coughed twice and said, "Soul rings and soul bones from the same soul beast can only exert their maximum effect when absorbed by the same person. This soul bone will be given to Wu Ming from now on!"
Zhang Lexuan nodded, agreeing with Elder Xuan's words. Chu Qingtian and Wu Xuan, standing to the side, were completely indifferent. Chu Qingtian was indifferent because the attributes were completely incompatible, while Wu Xuan was indifferent; he wouldn't even glance at a soul bone that wasn't at least 100,000 years old, no matter how high its quality.
After deciding on the distribution of the soul bone, the three of them began skillfully dissecting the corpses of the three Crimson Demon Mastiffs. The flesh and blood of a super soul beast with 50,000 years of cultivation was a great tonic. Its effects were far superior to the flesh and blood of the Black Leopard they had collected before.
The group didn't collect the flesh and blood of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, as it was notorious for its indiscriminate eating of everything, and the thought alone made them nauseous. They only removed its bones, claws, and massive, barbed tail, as these were excellent materials for making soul tools.
Just as they were about to finish harvesting the three Crimson Demon Hound corpses, a clear cry suddenly rang out, and Wu Ming's golden-red flame wings unfurled.
Two yellow, two purple, and three black soul rings pulsed at the same rhythm. Her slowly opening eyes seemed to hold two burning golden-red flames, exuding an imposing aura.
Zhang Lexuan looked at Wu Ming, smiling and nodding, "Congratulations, Ming'er."
"Congratulations!" Chu Qingtian said.
"Senior Sister Wu Ming, congratulations on officially advancing to Soul Saint," Wu Xuan also smiled.
Wu Ming stretched her body happily.
After a brief exchange, Wu Ming had already heard Elder Xuan recount the story of the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound's left arm bone. Hearing everyone offer her the soul bone, she was overwhelmed with excitement, her cheeks flushing.
"Ming'er, accept it. Find an opportunity to fuse with it when you return to the academy," Zhang Lexuan said with a smile.
Wu Ming's gaze swept over Wu Xuan, Chu Qingtian, and Zhang Lexuan, she took a deep breath, and then nodded heavily.
"Mm."
That's just her personality; she doesn't often say 'thank you.' But she remembers this kindness more deeply than anyone else.
Just as everyone was laughing and chatting, a strange change suddenly occurred in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest. The entire Star Dou Great Forest seemed to be swaying slightly, and all the treetops within sight swayed in one direction simultaneously, then slowly swayed back.
An invisible pressure, as if a tremendous change had occurred in the heavens and earth, slowly emanated from within the Star Dou Great Forest. In that instant, the Star Dou Great Forest fell completely silent, as if all living beings had fallen into a deep sleep.
Elder Xuan flashed to the side of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, a dense yellow light enveloping Wu Xuan and the other three, along with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. His expression turned solemn. He could sense that the being about to appear was more powerful than himself, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
A dark red light flashed suddenly, and the Crimson King reappeared in everyone's sight.
This time, the Crimson King was no longer angry; his eyes were calm, a calm filled with confidence. He opened his mouth wide, and three streams of light appeared.
The Crimson King coldly said, "This is a 90,000-year-old soul bone and two 100,000-year-old soul bones. Release the auspicious beast, and you can take these three soul bones."
As he spoke, the three streams of light flew towards Elder Xuan. "Besides, you must also swear on the honor of Shrek Academy that no Shrek Academy expert will ever again attack the auspicious beast under any pretext."
Elder Xuan said calmly, "Swearing an oath is fine, but the one who doesn't want to show himself, wouldn't you like to come out and let this old man see you?"
"Human, after hearing my name, I think you don't want to see me." A deep voice came from the Star Dou Great Forest. At first glance, the voice was deep and hoarse, but in an instant, it was like rolling thunder.
Elder Xuan's expression remained unchanged, "Oh! Hearing you say that, I'd like to try. Besides, if I hand over the auspicious beast now, can you guarantee that those ferocious beasts won't attack my students?"
"After you've sworn an oath, release the auspicious beast and you can leave. I, the King, guarantee in the name of Di Tian, that this matter will be settled." Before the words were finished, an incomparably powerful pressure seemed to darken the color of the sky in an instant.
Elder Xuan's expression relaxed slightly, but a hint of shock flashed across his face. "So it's Di Tian. Good, I believe you." As he spoke, he released his grip, and with a swift push of yellow light, he shoved the Imperial Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, in front of the Crimson King.
The Crimson King quickly stepped in front of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and checked its body. When it discovered that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's previous injuries had healed, its gaze towards Elder Xuan softened considerably.
"I, Xuanzi, swear by the honor of Shrek Academy for ten thousand years that from now on, no elder or teacher in Shrek Academy will harm the auspicious beast under any pretext. If anyone violates this oath, the lineage of Shrek Academy will be severed." Elder Xuan declared firmly.
"Your Shrek Academy does indeed have the demeanor of a top power on the continent. You may leave." The majestic voice rang out again.
"Farewell!" Elder Xuan waved his right hand, grasping the three soul bones in his grasp. A yellow light flashed, enveloping the four of them as they soared into the air, heading straight towards Shrek Academy.
Chu Qingtian couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Teacher, will that guy hiding in the forest really not attack us?"
Elder Xuan calmly replied, "Remember, many times, soul beasts are more trustworthy than humans."
Just as Elder Xuan said, until they disappeared from the Crimson King's sight, nothing changed in the Star Dou Great Forest. The previous sharp pressure had completely vanished.
"Crimson King, as the king of the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound clan, I will not pursue your mistake this time because you had a reason. If you dare to neglect your duties again, I will definitely cut off your three dog heads." A deep, hoarse voice, like a thunderclap, rang out again. "Yes, yes, yes! Di Tian! I promise there will never be a next time. If I make another mistake, you don't need to lift a finger; I'll end it all myself first." The Crimson King knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring down his body.
"Hmph! I'll remember your promise." Di Tian coldly snorted.
