Sitting next to her were the sisters Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.

Shuiyue'er's nose was red from the cold, and she was drinking hot soup in big gulps, not even bothering to lift her head.

Tianmeng Bingcan and Xue Di were also there; the former was drinking heavily and competing with Via's father, while the latter was in a daze.

"You're back?" Ye Hua put down his teacup, sensing Oscar's aura. "Not bad, you haven't been slacking off lately, Quasi-Soul Emperor!"

Oscar scratched his head. "Teacher Ye, what brings you here?"

"I'll take you back," Ye Hua said, looking at him, "and while I'm at it, I'll help Shui Bing'er find a suitable soul."

Oscar looked at Shui Bing'er. Shui Bing'er nodded slightly.

Her aura was deep and composed, and her soul power fluctuations were no different from his.

Oscar's face twitched!

He consumed the immortal herbs given to him by Ye Hua, and relied on his soul spirit and soul bones as a foundation to reach the Quasi-Soul Emperor level!

But Shui Bing'er had neither immortal herbs nor soul bones, yet she was on par with him!

It's somewhat embarrassing for the Long Night Team!

“My benefactor,” Via said, patting Oscar on the back. “He’s incredibly diligent in his training!”

"Getting up early and working late, I wish I could meditate every day!"

"Also, he got lost when the blizzard blocked the roads last time."

"After running out of supplies, they ate grass roots and tree bark and endured for three days before finally making their way back, which terrified my uncle and my parents!"

“Via!” Oscar blushed and waved his hands frantically. “That time it was Via!”

"Tch, that's no excuse for risking your life and running so far. Otherwise, would you have gotten lost?" Via rolled her eyes.

"When you came back, your face was frozen purple. Haote and the Soul Hunter Gang went out to look for you several times!"

Oscar said embarrassedly, "It was after that that Via's parents insisted that she stay with me, to prevent me from doing anything reckless."

Upon hearing this, Shuiyue'er finally lifted her face from the soup bowl. "Eating grass roots and tree bark? Can you even eat that stuff?"

“Sure!” Oscar nodded matter-of-factly. “It’s just a bit hard to chew, and my teeth will ache for ages afterward.”

Shuiyue looked at Oscar with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Oscar felt uncomfortable being stared at, but Via pulled him to a seat, which eased the awkwardness.

Ye Hua changed the subject, "Uncle Haote, how's your Soul Hunting Team?"

Haote sat upright and reservedly in front of his savior, saying, "Thanks to you, I'm doing well."

"I broke through to the Soul Douluo level two months ago, and the reputation of the Soul Hunting Group has spread, bringing in a considerable income."

"My share of the profits is enough to help the families of the team members who died earlier, and I can finally feel relieved."

"I originally planned to wait until this blizzard stopped before taking Xiao Ao to deal with his spirit, but I didn't expect you to arrive first."

Ye Hua nodded. "Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

"Don't rush things about the soul, I'll find him a suitable one."

"Teacher Ye," Oscar's eyes lit up, "Can I have a combat-type?"

“No problem,” Ye Hua already had a plan, “I’ll give you a surprise then!”

Oscar was overjoyed.

"Come, come, let's eat!" Via's mother brought out a pot full of stewed meat, the aroma filling the air.

The clattering of bowls and chopsticks on the table, mixed with laughter, made the wind and snow outside seem even farther away.

The charcoal crackled and popped, the flames reflecting on everyone's faces, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.

Shuiyue'er had just finished drinking soup and ate very little, constantly glancing left and right.

Upon seeing Xue Di, she barely touched the soup in her bowl, her gaze passing through the frost-covered windowpane as she looked out at the dark night sky, her brow furrowed slightly.

Shuiyue put down her bowl and moved closer. "Big sister? Why aren't you eating?"

Xue Di was interrupted from her daze. She looked at Shui Yue'er and forced a smile, "It's nothing."

Shuiyue'er was puzzled, but she didn't ask too many questions and went back to drink the meat soup.

Ye Hua also noticed that Xue Di was acting strangely, but before he could ask—

"Boom!!!"

A huge explosion occurred outside the window!

The glass whirred and wailed!

The house trembled violently!

Sparks from the charcoal brazier were splashing out!

Via's mother exclaimed in surprise and quickly steadied the plates near the edge of the table to prevent them from falling.

"What's going on?!" Haote slammed his wine glass on the table and rushed to the door.

Ye Hua put down his knife and fork, his gaze passing over the window, his eyes slightly narrowed.

The town is located at the entrance to the forest, where flames soar into the sky!

Chapter 264 An Aura of Destruction! The Snow Empress's Worries!

When Ye Hua arrived, a biting cold wind carried the smell of burning food.

The watchtower's alarm bells rang deafeningly, and the frost crumbled away, revealing the verdigris.

The garrison was pushing bundles of torches and stacks of firewood soaked in pine resin to the middle of the road, attempting to build a defensive line with fire.

But the soul beasts that emerged from the shadows of the forest paid no heed to the flames!

Its grayish-white fur wasn't even singed, and all that remained in its eyes was pure killing intent!

"Damn it!" The garrison commander's face turned ashen. "How can it be a soul beast that's over a hundred years old!"

"Wait...it's still a Yeti!"

Its massive body crashed through the wall of fire, scattering burning firewood in all directions, sparks flying as it hissed and died out.

puff!

The front-line garrison was tackled, and the Yeti opened its massive fangs and bit directly at his neck.

Fortunately, his comrades reacted quickly, and the heavy axe spirit struck the snow monster's shoulder blade, the axe blade embedding itself into the flesh, and foul-smelling blood spurted out!

"Ah!!!" the garrison soldier roared as he was pinned down, plunging his dagger into the yeti's lower abdomen.

The two sides rolled together and fought a bloody battle in the snow.

The defenses in other directions are also in grave danger.

The soul beasts had already broken through the firewall and were engaged in close combat with the defending troops, with shouts and roars rising and falling.

"Damn it!"

Without asking any further questions, Haote summoned his martial spirit to join the battle.

With Contra in command, the pressure on the defense line has been greatly reduced!

Other Soul Master forces, including the Spirit Hall branch and the Soul Hunting Corps, also came to provide support!

However, there were too many soul beasts, seemingly endless, and the defensive line retreated step by step!

When Oscar and Via rushed to the town entrance, they saw that the defensive line was in dire straits.

Oscar's face turned ashen.

He recognized him.

Those grayish-white furs and murky eyes—aren't they the Yeti he provoked?

He remembered that the group of Yetis numbered only a hundred or so, but the beast tide before him was far more than that.

Via froze on the spot, her gaze darting away, unable to meet anyone's eyes.

Seeing her daughter's reaction, Via's mother's pupils contracted. "Via, tell me honestly, these soul beasts aren't you and Xiao Ao... um!"

Via's father forcefully covered her mouth.

"Don't say it! Do you want them to get the cold shoulder?"

Via's mother snapped out of her daze and quickly swallowed her words.

Oscar teeth tremors.

It was really his fault.

If he hadn't provoked it, there wouldn't have been a beast tide.

But Ye Hua saw through the trick.

The Yeti's fur was covered in blackish-purple smoke.

The smoke was so faint that it was barely visible in the firelight.

However, under Ye Hua's perception of the [God-Slaying Domain], it was incredibly clear!

Chaos! Tyranny! Madness!

With a desire to assimilate everything!

That's not the aura of an ordinary soul beast!

"Something's not right." Ye Hua's eyes narrowed slightly, pulling him back from his self-blame. "Look carefully."

Oscar looked up blankly, following Ye Hua's gaze.

There was indeed a strange wisp of smoke emanating from those Yetis, as if it were emerging from their flesh and blood.

"What...what is that?!" Oscar was shocked.

Shui Bing'er frowned. "Perhaps it's being controlled by an evil spirit master?"

“No,” Ye Hua shook his head, “The methods of evil soul masters can at most enslave soul beasts and make them obey.”

"But look at these Yetis, these Bloodthirsty Madmen, they've been completely assimilated!"

"Unless the evil soul master who controls them reaches the pinnacle of Douluo and comes into contact with the rules of the world, it is absolutely impossible for them to have this ability!"

Xing Siting Chang Ying U.

An evil soul master at the ultimate Douluo level?

The Spirit Hall will not allow him to appear!

But why is that?

"Let's go too!" Ye Hua didn't hesitate, because the defense line was about to collapse.

Several garrison soldiers were knocked away by the Yeti and crashed heavily into the snowdrift; their fate is unknown.

Even though Haote was tough and thick-skinned, he still had bruises on his shoulders and was panting heavily.

Even if a titled Douluo comes, they will have to weigh the scale of this beast tide, unless Dugu Bo attacks in a very large area!

It seems that only that trick will work!

Ye Hua took a deep breath and strode forward.

The pungent smell of blood, thick and sticky, permeated the air.

【God-Slaying Domain】!

A dark red killing intent surged like a giant wave, and a towering red light overshadowed the flames!

To his surprise, these assimilated Yetis were completely unfazed by the murderous aura!

"Strange." Ye Hua simply let his domain crush the enemy.

The Yeti at the forefront was instantly crushed by the murderous aura!

Flesh was torn apart, blood mist exploded, and then it was swallowed up by murderous intent!

Puff puff puff puff puff!!
