Wuhun Luo Sanpao? I am the Dragon Emperor!

Chapter 48: The Fight for Soul Beasts (Revised)

The air in the forest grew heavy, and Zhu Si asked with a somewhat unhappy tone:
"Who are you?"

In Zhu Si's opinion, these two people were obviously here to steal resources.

The older woman stepped forward, looking embarrassed, clasped her hands together, and bowed to Yu Xiaolie and the others.

"My two soul friends, I am Shui Jingxin, an elder of the Tianshui Phoenix Clan."

"To be honest, this Frost Shadow Fox is me. My granddaughter Shui Qing'er and I tracked it here, and we were the ones who inflicted the wounds on it."

Her tone was calm, but there was a hint of majesty in her eyes.

Behind Grandma Shui Jingxin, the young woman, Shui Qing'er, stood quietly.

She was wearing a light blue long dress, with her hair half tied up and half loose, fluttering gently in the wind.

Those eyes were as bright as autumn water, and at this moment they were looking at Yu Xiaolie and Zhu Si eagerly.

After all, at this moment, Yu Xiaolie and Zhu Si were standing closest to the soul beast. If they suddenly attacked, she would not be able to absorb the soul ring, and all her previous efforts would be in vain.

Zhu Si and Yu Xiaolie looked at each other, both with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

They searched the forest for a whole day before finding this Frost Shadow Fox. Now they feel a little sad to give it to someone else.

But what Grandma Shui Jingxin said made sense. They were the ones who injured the fox first, otherwise Xiao Lie wouldn't have encountered it.

Zhu Si was about to say something when Ge Mu and his adjutant came up with everyone else, with a look of impatience on their faces.

"What's going on? Why are you so hesitant?"

Ge Mu asked coldly, his eyes sweeping over Grandma Shui Jingxin and Shui Qing'er.

Turning his head to look at the dying Cold Shadow Fox on the ground, a satisfied smile appeared on Ge Mu's face.

"Yes, it is indeed a ten thousand year old soul beast!"

He walked to the side of the Cold Shadow Fox, reached out and touched its snow-white fur, a hint of greed flashed in his eyes.

Seeing the luxurious general armor on Ge Mu and the emblem of the Tiandou Empire on his chest, Grandma Shui Jingxin's face changed slightly, and she immediately understood the identity of the man in front of her.

She walked forward and bowed deeply to Ge Mu.

"General, to be honest, my granddaughter and I have been tracking this Frost Shadow Fox for three whole days. I hope you can show some understanding and give it back to us."

After listening to this, Ge Mu stood up, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he looked up and down at the elder in front of him.

From their clothes, I guessed their identities.

"You are... the Tianshui Phoenix clan, right?"

Grandma Shui Jingxin smiled and said, "That's right, I am the elder of the family."

Ge Mu looked at the cold shadow fox under his feet, and seemed to be brewing some trick in his mind.

Obviously, he didn't want to give up this soul beast.

Ge Mu's martial soul is the Mist Hidden Horse, which is good at creating fog and ambushing opponents. However, this cold shadow fox has unpredictable whereabouts and is extremely difficult to hunt, which is very suitable for his horse martial soul to improve his roaming ability during combat.

"Excuse me, I have to show some respect to the Tianshui Phoenix Clan. This fox spirit is very rare to come across."

As he spoke, Ge Mu squatted down again and patted the Cold Shadow Fox with his hands, as if regretting that he could not get its soul ring.

"However, as a general of the Tiandou Empire, shouldn't you give me some respect?"

In just a moment, Ge Mu suddenly activated his soul power in his hand, forming a sharp sword that ended the life of the Cold Shadow Fox unexpectedly.

Seeing Ge Mu being so rogue and acting without authorization, the old man and the young man were immediately very angry.

Shui Qing'er, in particular, was so angry that she was about to go up and argue with Ge Mu.

But Ge Mu was still acting: "Ah - this soul beast is so vulnerable. I just patted it lightly and it died. What a pity."

His tone was arrogant and threatening, and the implication was very clear: this spirit ring already belongs to me.

No matter how much they tried to settle accounts with him, it was of no avail.

A conflict? Are they trying to go against the Tiandou Empire?
There is no benefit.

Although the Tianshui Phoenix Clan is a well-known soul master family in the Tiandou Empire, it has been declining in recent years and its strength is no longer as strong as before.

Faced with a general of the marshal level of the Tiandou Empire, they really did not dare to offend him easily.

In Douluo Continent, soul masters have a higher status than ordinary people, and soul masters with family backgrounds have a higher status than ordinary soul masters.

But if the family is not strong enough, then the soul master who has the support of the royal family of the Tiandou Empire may have a higher status, especially the soul master who works with the emperor, princes and others.

The Tianshui Phoenix Clan and this marshal soul master general should respect each other.

But in order to possess this soul beast, Ge Mu relied on his status and believed that Shui Jingxin would not dare to go against the empire, so he would use any means necessary.

Grandma Shui Jingxin sighed, feeling unwilling, but she was old and experienced after all. She knew that the matter was irreversible and no matter how she investigated, it would be of no use. She could only bow to Ge Mu helplessly.

"It is we who have offended you. Goodbye!"

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave, her eyes full of disappointment. Shui Qing'er was unwilling to give up and pulled on the sleeve of Shui Jingxin's mother-in-law.

"Mother-in-law...are you just going to give it to them like this?"

"We tracked it for three full days."

Although her voice was soft, it was particularly clear in the quiet forest.

Grandma Shui Jingxin shook her head slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"Just look for it again."

Hearing this, a trace of disappointment flashed across Shui Qing'er's face.

Shui Jingxin is old and experienced, and understands the human relationships between his family and the Tiandou Empire, so he chooses to endure.

But Shui Qing'er is not like that. She is still young and energetic, and she can't swallow this humiliation.

Unwilling to leave, he turned around and accused Ge Mu: "Despicable and shameless!"

Everyone present was shocked.

The general of the Tiandou Empire is notoriously arrogant and domineering. Who would dare to treat him like this?

Shui Jingxin quickly pulled Shui Qing'er, "Shut up, Qing'er!"

"General, the matter of the soul beast has come to this point, and we will no longer care about it. My granddaughter is young and ignorant, and quite impulsive, so please don't bother with her."

Ge Mu's face looked unhappy and he didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Grandma Shui Jingxin didn't want to stay any longer, so she immediately took Shui Qing'er and turned away.

"Humph, you are young and ignorant, so you will suffer more beatings from society."

Yu Xiaolie, who was standing by, suddenly heard Ge Mu say in a low and gloomy voice.

At the same time, the third soul ring on his body quickly lit up, and a powerful soul power wave surged out of his body.

His body instantly turned into a blurry shadow and rushed towards Shui Qing'er at a very fast speed.

Suddenly feeling the soul power surging behind them, Shui Jingxin and Shui Qing'er's faces changed drastically, but it was too late to dodge.

At this critical moment, a chubby figure suddenly rushed out and stood in front of Shui Qing'er.

Yu Xiaolie shouted loudly, and the first soul ring lit up with dazzling light.

"First Soul Skill: Devouring Breath!"

Luo Sanpao quickly stood in front of Shui Qing'er, and Ge Mu's powerful attack fell on it, but was completely melted and swallowed up.

Looking at Luo Sanpao, Ge Mu's eyes were filled with shock, and his face turned ashen, and he said angrily:
"You dare to stop me?"

Yu Xiaolie looked calm as he looked at Ge Mu calmly, without a trace of fear in his eyes.

"General Ge, this young lady means no harm. Please calm down. It would be beneath your dignity to act rashly."

His tone was calm, but between the lines, he revealed an unquestionable toughness.

Ge Mu was angered by Yu Xiaolie's attitude and was about to explode when Zhu Si hurried forward to dissuade him.

"General, calm down. The most urgent task now is to absorb the spirit ring. Don't get angry over such a small matter."

His tone was respectful and tactful, and it was obvious that he didn't want to see a conflict between Ge Mu and Yu Xiaolie.

After hearing this, although Ge Mu was still dissatisfied, he considered the important matters at hand.

"Hmph, you're lucky. This general won't bother with you."

His face was ice-cold, and he turned and walked towards the body of the Cold Shadow Fox, ready to begin absorbing the ten thousand year soul ring.

Zhu Si breathed a sigh of relief, then followed Ge Mu, intending to guard him from the side.

Yu Xiaolie turned and walked towards Zhu Si.

"Brother Zhu, I've already helped you. I'll say goodbye now."

He said softly, with a hint of determination in his tone.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Si showed a hint of reluctance on his face, but he also knew that Yu Xiaolie had made his decision, so he didn't try to persuade him. He just nodded and patted him on the shoulder.

"Come back when you have time, and don't forget about me, your brother!"

Yu Xiaolie nodded and turned to leave.

He had not walked far when he heard hurried footsteps behind him.

"Little brother, please stay!"

Grandma Shui Jingxin's voice came from behind, clear and a little anxious.

Yu Xiaolie stopped and turned to look at Shui Jingxin and Shui Qing'er behind him, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
