On the Seven Monsters' side, as Dai Mubai's last punch containing powerful soul energy landed, the Phoenix-tailed Cockapoo was finally knocked unconscious, leaving only the snake's body twisting unconsciously, but its tail was bent at ninety degrees, which looked a bit strange.
"It's done!" The Shrek Seven Devils cheered at the same time, and even the usually cold Zhu Zhuqing curled up the corners of her mouth.
Oscar's face was filled with excitement. He hurriedly thanked everyone, took out a dagger, and walked to the snake's head in two or three steps.
Everyone looked at Oscar with anticipation, except Xiao Wu, who turned her head away with a hint of pity in her eyes.
Just as Oscar was about to stab with the knife, suddenly, a hoarse and sharp voice suddenly rang out, "Stop."
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures quickly rushed out from the direction where the Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Snake had flown from and appeared in front of everyone.
The two people, one old and one young, were both women. The older one looked to be in her sixties or seventies, with neatly combed white hair. Although she looked quite old, her eyes were full of brilliance, and she didn't look frail at all.
In her right hand, she held a silver-white human-sized snake-head scepter, and around her body, six soul rings, two yellow, two purple, and two black, were gently vibrating.
Following the old woman was a beautiful girl with a hint of arrogance on her face. She looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, with short purple hair that just reached her ears. On her fair cheeks, there were a few twisted purple lines under the corners of her eyes, which added a bit of wild beauty to her.
She also held a silver-white snake-head scepter in her hand, but this scepter was much smaller than the old woman's and looked more delicate, with two yellow hundred-year soul rings circling around her body.
At this moment, the girl's big eyes were staring at Oscar fiercely, as if to say, "If you dare to use the knife, you will be in trouble."
The old woman glanced at everyone in Shrek Academy, looking at their spirit rings in particular, with a look of shock in her eyes.
This group of little guys, who look no older than his granddaughter, are actually all Great Soul Masters in their twenties. Judging from the fluctuations of their soul power, they are not yet at the realm of beginner Great Soul Masters, and are probably around twenty-seven or twenty-eighth level.
The boy who was about the same age as his granddaughter already had a third soul ring. Where did these genius-level teenagers come from?
The sudden appearance of the old woman and the young girl startled everyone in Shrek. When they saw the six soul rings surrounding the old woman, their pupils shrank slightly. These two people stopped Oscar from hunting the Phoenix-tailed Cockapoo. It seemed that they had bad intentions. Did they want to steal the soul rings?
After all, this kind of thing is very common in the world of soul masters.
About a hundred meters away from here, Flanders and Zhao Wuji were hiding in the dark, looking into the distance through the gaps between the leaves.
"Boss Fu, that old woman seems to be the snake woman among the peerless dragons and snakes? Could it be that this shameless old woman wants to steal the soul ring? Should we go and teach her a lesson?" Zhao Wuji frowned and said unhappily.
Flanders rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "Are you stupid? We're already home! Home, understand? What if Qiu Xiaozi drags her over there to hunt a 100,000-year-old soul beast? Besides, she's just a snake woman. How can she snatch things from Qiu Xiaozi? Do you think it's possible?"
Zao Wou-Ki: "."
On the other side, Dai Mubai glanced at Ye Zhiqiu. Seeing that he had no intention of coming forward, he could only bite the bullet and take a few steps forward. He said, "Junior Dai Mubai, may I know what the senior wants?"
The old woman withdrew her gaze from the others and looked at Dai Mubai. She said kindly, "You little guys are quite brave. A Soul Venerable leading several Great Soul Masters into this Star Dou Great Forest is truly courageous. However, you can't let this little guy absorb this Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake."
After hearing her words, everyone in Shrek Academy frowned. They really came to steal the soul beast.
Tang San took a few steps forward and came to Dai Mubai's side, his palm slightly touching the Twenty-Four Bridges in the Moonlight, ready to take action.
"What's the reason?" Tang San frowned, his tone was not very good. The others also moved slightly, changed their positions, and subtly protected Ning Rongrong and Oscar behind them. The battle formation was formed unconsciously.
The Shrek Seven Devils weren't too worried. On the contrary, they were eager to try their hand at fighting this Soul Emperor. Even if they lost, Ye Zhiqiu was watching from a distance. He wouldn't let them get beaten, would he?
The old woman saw the small movements of the Shrek Seven Devils and showed a hint of appreciation in her eyes. Although these little guys were young, they reacted instantly and obviously had good coordination and combat experience. If they could be recruited into her family, the family might be able to compete with the lower four sects for the lower rankings in ten years.
"Don't be nervous. I, Chao Tianxiang, don't have the habit of robbing the younger generation of their things. It's just that we were the first to discover and injure this Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Snake, so it should be ours. It's just that this beast accidentally escaped, so we tracked it all the way here." The old woman said slowly with a faint smile on her lips.
Oscar was immediately dissatisfied after hearing what she said. "That was the soul beast we caught. You want to take the ownership of it just because you killed it first?"
"How do you prove that you were the first to hunt this Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Snake? You weren't there when we caught it. Besides, the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest are ownerless. Of course, whoever catches it owns it. Otherwise, if I say that I hunted a 100,000-year-old soul beast, does that mean that 100,000-year-old soul beast is mine?" Oscar shouted dissatisfiedly.
Chao Tianxiang was contradicted by Oscar, but she was not angry. Instead, she smiled at Oscar kindly and said, "Little guy, which sect are you from?"
Oscar was stunned for a moment, and touched the back of his head in confusion, "I don't belong to a sect, I'm a student of Shrek Academy."
The other members of the Seven Monsters looked at the old woman warily, and no one said a word.
Shrek Chao Tianxiang thought to herself, "I don't think I've ever heard of this?" It's good not to have a sect. I'm just afraid you have one.
"Little ones," Chao Tianxiang said, smiling broadly at everyone. "Since you are students of Shrek Academy, and you came to such a dangerous place as the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt spirit rings, it's really irresponsible of you to not even have the teachers to protect you. You might as well not stay. Why don't you come to our family? When you need to advance in the future, we will help you hunt spirit rings and ensure your safety. Moreover, once you join our family, you will be one of our own. It's no problem for me to give you this Phoenix-tailed Cockscomb Snake. How do you think?"
Everyone at Shrek: "."
The seven monsters looked at each other silently, all of them speechless. They didn't expect that this old woman actually wanted to recruit them?
You are so showy!
Isn't this a blatant slap in the face of the Shrek Academy teachers? Even if we agree, Boss Qiu, the Vice President of the Academy, won't agree, right?
Although Ning Rongrong had two spirit rings surrounding her, her Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda spirit had not yet been revealed. At this moment, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but blink at Ye Zhiqiu, who was not far away, and smiled mischievously.
She wanted to try out how the old woman would react if she released the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower, and whether she still had any intention of recruiting them.
