Douluo: Adventure Begins from Wuhun City

Chapter 246 Found traces
As the few people were looking on in confusion, the ice and snow palace suddenly shook, and then two slightly different soul powers, both carrying an extremely cold and frosty aura, flew out. Then, two figures appeared at the gate of the palace together.

Looking at the two figures that suddenly appeared, everyone's pupils, except Chen Yao, shrank violently. The reason was simple: they could feel that these two women who looked like they were extremely beautiful and pretty were not human.

Instead, they were two soul beasts, and their strength was far beyond that of a hundred thousand years old, super ferocious beasts!

At this moment, except for Chen Yao, everyone became nervous. Soul power was flying around their bodies, soul rings appeared behind them, and bright soul skills appeared in their hands, ready to be used!

But what was surprising was that the two soul beasts did not seem to show any hostility. They just looked at the nervous and alert people with a little contempt, and then came to Chen Yao and bowed.

"Master Chen Yao."

When these words were spoken, people were stunned. They had not expected that Chen Yao could be related to this ferocious beast in the far north that was almost on the border of the continent.

Among them, only Liu Erlong reacted the fastest. These two female soul beasts were probably like Gu Yuena and the others, and had unclear relationships with Chen Yao.

He felt a little resentful in his heart and curled his lips, but he quickly restrained his soul power. When the people around him saw Liu Erlong's actions, they all had a flash of understanding in their eyes and withdrew their soul power one after another, no longer as tense as before.

As for the people behind him, Chen Yao ignored them. Or rather, he brought them here just to let them see the power and strength he could mobilize. It was not a deterrent, but just to increase their confidence so that they could do their work with peace of mind.

After all, although the Spirit Hall is powerful, these people are not from the Spirit Hall after all. Knowing that the Spirit Hall will be the enemy of everyone in the future, they still feel a little insecure.

Chen Yao looked at the two women, nodded, explained what happened in the Demon Dragon Palace, and then gave orders.

"Let the soul beasts under your command catch those people from the Demon Dragon Palace."

In response to Chen Yao's order, the two women nodded solemnly, and then the soul power of Xue Di fluctuated, and a bright blue light bloomed between her eyebrows.

Immediately afterwards, a ripple of invisible energy began to spread, sweeping in all directions.

After a while, the ice surface suddenly began to vibrate, and bursts of violent noises were heard in the distance. Then, in the surprised gazes of the crowd, densely packed soul beasts like a tide came pouring in from all directions, forming a black mass.

Such a scene made everyone's expression change slightly. They finally understood the meaning of the two titles "Ice Emperor" and "Snow Emperor". They were the emperors of this group of northern soul beasts. With just one order, an army of soul beasts like a beast tide was formed in an instant. The terrifying power of their authority was shameful.

At this moment, there are some big guys in the beast tide. The first one to bear the brunt is the Titan Snow Demon Ape, which is nearly 100 meters tall. When it runs, it is like a moving iceberg. As the ground shakes and buzzes violently, it gives people a great psychological pressure.

But when he came up to him and saw Chen Yao, his pupils trembled violently, and he shrank his neck in fear. He quickly imitated the posture of humans, and bowed to Chen Yao in a very awkward manner, saying embarrassedly.

"Meet the big leader!"

Although he looked somewhat funny, his inner fear of Chen Yao was evident. Ever since the last time he was beaten by the Bear King at his most powerful position and was on the verge of death, his spirit had been extremely low. Especially after he had been to the gates of hell, he understood the preciousness of life. Naturally, he did not dare to be as reckless as before, acting like he was the boss and he was second only to him.

After all, although the Ice Emperor had beaten it before, for the sake of the balance in the North, he would never kill it. But Chen Yao and those bastards in the Star Dou Great Forest would really want to kill him!

After saluting Chen Yao, the Titan Snow Demon Ape looked at the two daughters of the Snow Emperor and nodded. His gaze paused on the Snow Emperor for a second, and a hint of regret appeared in his eyes, especially when he saw the plump figure of the Snow Emperor, which already revealed a mature and charming temperament. His heart ached again, and it was heartbroken.

But thinking back to Chen Yao's horror, he shuddered subconsciously, his face turned grim, and he cruelly looked away.

If the Titan Snow Demon Ape's emotions towards the Snow Emperor are extremely complicated, then the Snow Emperor's are extremely simple. In the past, he was allowed to occupy a place in the Far North only because the power of the Far North needed to be preserved. Otherwise, according to the other party's unrestrained temperament, he would have been eliminated long ago. Especially for the Ice Emperor, the Titan Snow Demon Ape who dared to attract the attention of the Snow Emperor was a thorn in his side.

Now, with the entire Northland under Chen Yao's command, the existence of the Titan Snow Demon Ape has actually become somewhat dispensable. If the Titan Snow Demon Ape behaves himself, he can be made a small general. If he does not know what is good for him, for the sake of the stability of the Northland, Chen Yao and the Two Emperors of Ice and Snow do not mind wiping him out directly.

Although the Titan Snow Demon Ape was not very smart, after living for so many years, his instinct for crisis allowed him to filter out his current situation with great difficulty. Not only was he respectful and docile to Chen Yao, he was also submissive to the two Ice and Snow Emperors and did not dare to offend them in any way.

Bingdi almost laughed out loud when he saw the Titan Snow Demon Ape, who looked like a little wife at the moment. However, although there had been constant friction and resentment between the two in the past, Bingdi knew that he had to focus on business now, and did not make things difficult for the Titan Snow Demon Ape. He just repeated Chen Yao's order orally.

Upon hearing this, the Titan Snow Demon Ape nodded solemnly and distributed the order again, conveying it to every member of the tribe and the soul beasts under his command.

After the two Ice and Snow Emperors exchanged greetings with Chen Yao for a while, they each led their soul beasts to disperse and began a large-scale search for traces of the Demon Dragon Palace soul masters who had entered the Far North earlier.

After all the soul beasts retreated, the people around him were able to get a word in. Among them, Ning Fengzhi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, walked up to Chen Yao, and asked with some lingering fear.

"Brother Chen, these soul beasts are..."

"As you can see, perhaps this far north is a terrifying forbidden land for others, but for me, it is a place of ease and comfort."

Chen Yao turned his head and said with a smile. Although he didn't say it directly, his meaning was very clear.

"Brother Chen has great magical powers. He can tame these unruly beasts that only know how to fight and contend. No one dares to disobey his orders. I really admire you!" Ning Fengzhi smiled bitterly and clasped his fists.

Before this, he still had some small thoughts. After all, as the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he had to put the sect first in everything. He always wanted to leave some retreat routes to cope with any changes.

But after seeing what Chen Yao showed today, it feels like the unification of the Spirit Hall is a foregone conclusion. The Spirit Hall is already extremely powerful and unstoppable, and with the addition of a group of ferocious beasts hiding in the north, Ning Fengzhi really can't think of how the two empires can resist this majestic trend.

As one of the very few people on the continent who can see the general trend clearly, he naturally cannot play tricks anymore. He must contribute money and effort to secure a powerful position for the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in this trend!

"Alright, although this icy and snowy land won't affect us, it's not a big deal to stand here and get blown by the wind. Even if Xue Di and the others mobilize the power of all the northern soul beasts, it will take some time to find the people from the Demon Dragon Palace. Let's go sit in the Snow Palace for a while."

Chen Yao waved his hand, and then led everyone into the ice and snow palace.

As they stepped into the palace, everyone's eyes lit up.

Although this ice palace is made entirely of ice crystals and looks a bit simple, its style is no less magnificent than that of human palaces.

Although the people present were all in high positions and were already accustomed to luxurious scenes, and even this ice and snow palace had some flaws in their eyes, it was still extremely extraordinary.

Especially since the master of this palace was a soul beast, everyone looked at him with new eyes, breaking their usual notion that soul beasts were nothing more than beasts, with the sky as their blanket and the ground as their bed. Even if they possessed great powers, they were still powerful beasts.

Especially the Xue Di and the other two, they both appear in human form and their aesthetics are close to that of humans, which makes several people feel good about them and easier to accept them.

However, just as everyone was sighing, they saw him leading everyone around in this tall and magnificent palace and coming to a reception room. He took out several precious fruits unique to the snowy land from the icy and crystal cabinet, then sat down at the main table and made a pot of iced fruit tea for everyone, which was slightly cold and fragrant.

His skilled appearance, as if he was in charge, caused everyone to murmur.

Wow, he treats this place as his own home and has obviously been here many times. However, Chen Yao's taste was a bit too much. Although the two kings of the North looked extremely beautiful, especially the Snow Queen, who was ethereal and like a banished immortal, they were still soul beasts in essence. How could Chen Yao have the guts to eat such things?
Several people admired him in their hearts, but their faces showed no emotion. They all found a seat and sat down as if it had nothing to do with them.

Although humans and soul beasts are incompatible on the surface, and if they find humans committing adultery with soul beasts, they will attack them violently, and even directly accuse them of adultery and beat them to death. But if the person who did this was Chen Yao, they can only say that Chen Yao has eyes that appreciate beauty and has a wide range of interests, regardless of his position.

Soon, time passed by in the midst of conversation and laughter. Chen Yao's originally comfortable and calm heart also became a little surprised as time passed.

He took out the soul guide used for communication from time to time, frowning slightly.

Although he knew that the Demon Dragon Palace had covered its tracks and sneaked into the northern land, it would be difficult to catch them. Even if all the soul beasts were mobilized, it would take some time. But this time was too long. Until now, there was still no news. Could it be that the people from the Demon Dragon Palace were so good at hiding?
But just when Chen Yao's thoughts were distracted, the soul guide in his hand finally moved. As a flash of light lit up on the soul guide, Chen Yao finally felt relieved and then stood up and said.

"Let's go. There is news about the Demon Dragon Palace. Take the coalition forces and set off."

After hearing Chen Yao's words, everyone's faces lit up and they nodded in response.

Soon, they left the Snow Emperor's ice palace and returned to where the coalition forces were previously located. They gathered the scattered crowd again, and after an inventory, they found that there had been a lot of damage, and everyone was covered in dust and dirt.

No, regarding the loss of the coalition forces, the people from the Spirit Hall did not make any comment, acting as if it was none of their business. Then, the two Soul Douluos leading the team looked as if they had eaten a large bowl of flies, with ugly expressions alternating between blue and purple. At the same time, Chen Yao and others led the coalition forces towards the direction indicated by the Snow Empress.

Soon, the coalition forces walked through a field of snow and came to an extremely vast glacier canyon that seemed to have no end. The steep terrain scattered everywhere was like the tentacles of a devil, and the hideous and sharp ice crystals made everyone's pupils tighten and their hearts frightened, especially those in the coalition forces. Resistance was written all over their faces.

It seemed that in their eyes, this steep glacier was like the entrance to an abyss. Once they stepped in, they would be trapped in a desperate situation with no possibility of survival.

Chen Yao did not force these people in immediately, but instead leaped towards a snow-capped peak that was as tall as the clouds in front of him.

Xue Di and others found clues there. There are many people here and they are privy to many things. He wanted to consume the elite troops of the two empires, but he didn't want them to be wiped out, otherwise it would be too obvious. So it would not be a good idea to have direct contact with Xue Di and others.

Now that the Spirit Hall has finally gained the upper hand, they must not let him cause the Spirit Hall to be accused of communicating with soul beasts and betraying humanity, so they go alone.

When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, a hidden cave came into view. Chen Yao turned around and stepped directly into it.

After entering, Chen Yao discovered that the place was in a mess, filled with broken ice and stones everywhere.

It seems that this is a temporary resting place. After the people inside left, they destroyed the cave to cover up all the traces. The entrance of the cave was also covered with ice and snow, but Xue Di and others found clues.

As Chen Yao went deeper, he saw the figures of Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor standing in front of him.

At their feet, there were eerie white bones of corpses and no less than ten pieces of soul beast skins, which were pulled from the soul beasts alive. They could still vaguely see the painful and hideous expressions of those soul beasts when they were alive.
