The Peerless Tang Sect: Possessing Huo Yuhao at the Start

At this moment, Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er's bodies had begun to merge. Even though Qiankun Wenqing Valley did not make Wang Dong'er fall into a coma, when they encountered an enemy whose cultivation level far exceeded theirs, a voice in their hearts told them to become one.

Using the residual aura of the two women to locate himself, Huo Zhanji broke through the space-time barrier and returned to his original time period. Within a few breaths, he arrived at the two women's location, but a barrier blocked his way.

"Hehe, no wonder Di Tian locked onto the location of the Emperor Beast in the original story. Now everything is clear. This was clearly done on purpose. The divine sense of the Sea God, good, very good. They have no bottom line when it comes to doing things for the sake of the destiny of Douluo Continent."

Huo Zhanji quickly switched to the Dragon God Martial Soul, and the next moment a huge, silvery dragon claw appeared, tearing apart the barrier in front of him. The barrier was torn into pieces as soon as it came into contact with the dragon claw, and it instantly appeared next to Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er.

"Tang Wutong wants to appear this way? Heh, Tang San, do you think I can't stop you?" Huo Zhanji scoffed, reaching out to reverse the direction counter-clockwise, "Reverse...Four Seasons!"

What Huo Zhanji needed to do now was to reverse time in this area, forcibly separate the two, and extract Tang Wutong's divine consciousness from their bodies, as leaving it would ultimately be inappropriate.

Wang Qiu'er struggled to open her eyes and saw the person she had been longing for had returned. Gasping for breath, she said, "You're finally back. Am I going to die?"

"If I hadn't come back, you two would really be dead," Huo Zhanji said mercilessly.

"Huo Zhanji, do you worry about me too? Do I still have a place in your heart?" Wang Qiu'er said weakly.

"Wang Qiu'er, let me tell you, your life belongs to me alone. No one can take it away. I'm telling you," Huo Zhanji said resolutely.

"Zhanji, there has probably been a major change in the Star Dou Great Forest. Di Tian and the others should have sensed my demise," Wang Qiu'er said, recovering her senses.

"It's alright, Qiu'er. Let them fight. With me here, they can't cause any trouble," Huo Zhanji said calmly.

"Huo Zhanji, in your heart, did you ever truly love me?" Wang Qiu'er closed her eyes and asked the question she had wanted to ask Huo Zhanji for a long time.

Huo Zhanji fell silent for a moment. It wasn't that he couldn't answer the question, but he hadn't expected Wang Qiu'er to be so straightforward. However, he couldn't deny that he wanted to protect Wang Qiu'er and everyone he cherished. At this moment, his gaze towards Wang Qiu'er became more resolute.

"Wang Qiu'er, I like you."

"You...you didn't...lie to me?" Wang Qiu'er asked.

Huo Zhanji nodded gently, pulled Wang Qiu'er in front of him, and gently embraced her, letting her lean against his chest. He turned his head slightly and lightly touched Wang Qiu'er's lips.

"Qiu'er, you and Dong'er should rest and adjust yourselves first. I'll go and take care of those people." Huo Zhanji said, handing Wang Dong'er, whom he was holding in his other arm, to Wang Qiu'er.

"Okay." Wang Qiu'er took Wang Dong'er and returned to the ground.

Huo Zhanji deactivated the flow of time in this space. He looked at the three people who were besieging Wang Dong'er and Wang Qiu'er with hostility. With his strength as a level 94 Title Douluo, he quickly and easily physically eliminated those bastards.

"You only have yourself to blame for messing with the wrong people. If you dare to touch them, the only thing you'll pay with your lives."

Huo Zhanji turned around and resumed his usual gentle and refined demeanor. He came behind Wang Qiu'er and Wang Dong'er and used his soul power to heal them.

Shrek City's south wall has been the most heavily fortified since the city's founding. The reason is simple: this direction faces the Star Dou Great Forest. The wall is 15 zhang high, 20 zhang thick, and more than 5 kilometers wide, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of soldiers at the same time.

The dark clouds stretched across the sky from the south. At this moment, the speed of the clouds seemed to slow down a bit, but the oppressive force coming from the sky was still suffocating. On the city wall, the Shrek City defense army was busy, with cannons pointing into the distance and various fixed-mount soul-guided shells being transported to the city wall.

Teams of outer court students from Shrek Academy were rushing towards the city walls in the other three directions at top speed. The inner court disciples of Shrek Academy were not idle either, and figures quickly came from the east of the city, heading towards the south city wall.

Shi Xing placed his hands on the battlements, gazing into the distance with a bitter expression on his face. How many years had it been since Shrek City had witnessed a war?

In the distance, the enemy's tracks were gradually becoming visible; this terrifying force originated from the Star Dou Great Forest! The beast tide was coming!

In the distance, a dark mass of various soul beasts was slowly approaching Shrek City. They were moving forward in a fan shape, and the vanguard of the soul beast army was less than ten kilometers away from the south wall of Shrek City.

Just then, figures descended from the sky and landed on the top of the South City. The leader was none other than Elder Xuan, who was currently the number one person in Shrek Academy besides Huo Zhanji. Following Elder Xuan were the elders of the Sea God Pavilion, including Deans Yan Shaozhe and Xian Lin'er. The only one not present was Huo Zhanji, a member of the Sea God Pavilion. Behind the elders of the Sea God Pavilion were more than forty inner court students of Shrek Academy.

Elder Xuan looked into the distance, his face growing even more grim. He had experienced the last beast tide, and the current situation was even worse than before!

Elder Song approached Elder Xuan and said in a deep voice, "Without any warning, why did the Star Dou Great Forest launch a beast tide against us? What exactly is going on?"

Elder Xuan said in a deep voice, "A few days ago, a blood-red cloud appeared in the sky above the Star Dou Great Forest. This attack is probably related to that. The peace treaty stipulates that we cannot attack ferocious beasts. Those who govern the Star Dou Great Forest have always kept their word. It seems that something serious has happened."

Old Song nodded slightly and said, "We can't start a fight without knowing the details. We need to find out the truth first. Judging from the scale, this is probably being personally overseen by the Beast God Emperor Tian."

Elder Xuan narrowed his eyes, gazing at the dark clouds in the sky, and said, "It's right there. Who else but this Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King could create such power? I'll go and meet him, and find out exactly what happened."

Old Song said with some concern, "Old Xuan, you must be careful."

Elder Xuan smiled calmly: "I will do my best to stall him."

With that, Elder Xuan took a step forward and stood directly on the battlement, spreading his arms wide and letting out a roar to the sky.

"Moo—"

The deep, resonant sound was like a raging torrent, and a powerful aura erupted from Elder Xuan in an instant. This roar stunned the distant army of soul beasts, causing them to pause in shock.

Elder Xuan's body transformed into a beam of yellow light and soared into the sky, heading towards the dark, heavy clouds. The yellow light in the high sky and the inky black light quickly came into contact.

"Di Tian! Come out and speak!" Elder Xuan's deep and resonant voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

"You are Taotie!" The icy voice echoed across the heavens and earth.

"That's right, it's me. Di Tian, ​​why did you launch such a massive attack on Shrek Academy today, using so many soul beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest, regardless of the cost?" Elder Xuan asked in a deep voice.

Di Tian's icy voice rang out: "Why? You despicable humans dare to ask me why? Over the years, have you humans ever stopped harming us soul beasts? We soul beasts have already retreated to the Great Forest, a place where soul beasts congregate, yet you humans keep coming to harass us, killing my people, mutilating their bodies, all to increase your own strength. Our soul beast numbers are constantly decreasing, while your human soul masters are increasing. If this continues, one day we soul beasts will become extinct."

Elder Xuan paused for a moment, then said, "We are aware of this problem as well. With the existence of Martial Souls, Soul Masters need to hunt Soul Beasts and obtain Soul Rings to improve. We are currently trying our best to find alternatives to Soul Rings, and we are already researching them."

Di Tian sneered, "Don't try to fool me. Even the Dragon God Douluo couldn't figure out a way to replace spirit rings back then, let alone you. I don't believe you can do it. As for a contract, you dare to talk to me about a contract? If your memory is good enough, you should remember that there is an extremely important Three-Eyed Golden Lion in our Star Dou Great Forest, right?"

"The Three-Eyed Golden Lion?" Upon hearing this name, Elder Xuan suddenly felt a sense of foreboding wash over him. "Has something happened to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?"

"Hmph!" Di Tian snorted angrily, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to darken slightly. "If it weren't for the auspicious beast's misfortune, do you think I would have risked the lives of my people to launch such a war and wreak havoc?"

"The auspicious beast is dead?" Elder Xuan gasped.

"Hahaha!" Beast God Di Tian suddenly burst into arrogant laughter. "Do you know how the auspicious beast died? It was hunted down by human soul masters."

"What?" At this point, Elder Xuan finally lost his composure.

Di Tian roared to the sky, dark clouds surged, and a thunderous shout rang out from his mouth, "Kill!"

Outside Shrek City, the soul beasts that had stopped moving suddenly roared and launched a full-scale attack upon hearing Di Tian's command.

"Di Tian, ​​how dare you!" Elder Xuan roared.

The massive body of the Taotie Divine Ox galloped through the air, its feet treading on auspicious yellow clouds. Its spiraling horns hurtled towards Di Tian. Di Tian spread his enormous dragon wings, dark clouds rose behind him, and a huge black flame, more than ten meters in diameter, shot straight at Xuan Lao.

"boom--"

In an instant, the mountains shook and the earth trembled.
