Another day passed. This morning, when Ye Qiu emerged from the Divine Might Space, he found that the Blue Silver Emperor seemed to have recovered. It
chattered incessantly along the way, calling out "Brother, Brother!"
But when Ye Qiu asked it questions, it knew nothing, acting like a complete child.
Fortunately, with it by his side, the journey wasn't too boring.
...
The setting sun gradually disappeared, the handsome tiger roamed freely;
the trees rushed past, the howling wind whistled in his ears;
Ye Qiu held a bundle of grass in his arms, and the silly grass swayed in the pot.
To keep up with the schedule, Ye Qiu made the Jade-Eyed Cloud-Winged Tiger run until dark every day, only entering the Divine Might Space to rest for the night after sunset.
Ahead was a precipice. Other mounts would have to take a detour, but for the Jade-Eyed Cloud-Winged Tiger beneath Ye Qiu, jumping off was just basic maneuvering.
With its cloud wings unfurled ahead of time, the Azure Silver Tiger leaped high from the edge of the cliff and then swooped down. The fierce wind whipped against Ye Qiu's face, stinging him. The Azure Silver Tiger clung tightly to Ye Qiu under the wind pressure, unable to sway.
"Brother~"
Thump!
The Azure Silver Tiger had just landed when Ye Qiu heard the Azure Silver Tiger's childish voice again in his mind.
Ye Qiu understood that it was communicating using mental power.
"What is it now, little guy?"
He no longer spoke to the Azure Silver Tiger, but conveyed his thoughts in his mind. After all, talking to a blade of grass was too strange; people would think he had something wrong with himself.
"Stop~ Stop for a moment." The voice was crisp and sweet, quite pleasant to hear.
At this moment, the Azure Silver Tiger was radiating a blue light, interspersed with golden particles, like countless stars falling into a blue ocean.
All its leaves pointed in the same direction.
"Hmm?" Ye Qiu frowned, patted the tiger's back beneath him, and stopped in place as it had instructed.
"Brother, over there... I feel... I feel..."
Ye Qiu covered his face, helpless against the child's stuttering. By the time it finished speaking, the sun was already setting!
A little impatient, he said, "Stop talking, just tell me what you want to say!"
"Oh, I've got it," the Blue Silver Emperor seemed to sense Ye Qiu's mood, its voice slightly low.
Ye Qiu closed his eyes, processing the message it had sent.
Looking at the Blue Silver Emperor in his arms in surprise, it actually said it felt something calling to them, something that made it feel very close.
But he clearly didn't feel anything!
After a moment's thought, looking at the setting sun in the west, Ye Qiu decided to investigate.
'The only place that could make it feel close is probably that place!'
A glint flashed in his eyes, and he patted Tiger, whose head immediately turned and ran in the direction the Blue Silver Emperor had indicated.
Perhaps, he could even ruin Tang San's opportunity!
This time, Ye Qiu didn't use his Sharingan to scout ahead, because it was unnecessary.
There aren't many thousand-year-old soul beasts in this area now, so to save time, he followed the Blue Silver Emperor's directions and tried to travel in a straight line.
...
On Ye Qiu's path, a notorious mercenary group was on its way.
In the middle of the group of a dozen or so people was a carriage with an iron cage containing three Wind Wolves that were about seven hundred years old.
"Everyone! Hurry up! If we haven't found a place to stay by nightfall, we'll be feeding the soul beasts!" Wang Hu sat cross-legged on top of the iron cage, teasing the caged beast with a bloody, mangled severed arm while shouting orders at the others!
"Understood! Boss!" the others responded in unison.
"Do a good job, after this job, I'll take the brothers to a brothel! Haha."

"Tiger! Look! There's someone riding a soul beast!" In the group, a lean man with a hooked nose noticed Ye Qiu about to cross in front of them.
"Riding a soul beast? Hahaha~ I say, Yin Yan, are you seeing things?" His companion mocked him. "I've never seen anyone tame a soul beast as a mount."
"See things? Heh, you can see clearly with my Black Eagle Martial Soul's vision!" Yin Yan sneered, ignoring them, and shouted to Wang Hu on the iron cage.
"Tiger, I'm absolutely not mistaken, and that kid is riding a Jade-Eyed Cloud-Winged Tiger that's just over a thousand years old!"
*Slap!* Wang Hu slapped his thigh, stood up, and looked into the distance, but could only see a blurry shadow.
Yin Yan naturally knew what his elder brother was worried about. "Don't worry, brother. That kid is at most ten years old. How could he possibly be a match for you?"
Hearing this, Wang Hu's eyes lit up, and he threw the severed arm in his hand to the giant wolf in the cage. "Brothers! We have a job! Charge in Yin Yan's direction, Yin Yan, you lead the charge!"
"Understood! Brother!" A cry rang out, and a pair of wings extended from Yin Yan's back as he flew towards Ye Qiu's direction.
...
Ye Qiu, who was on his way, suddenly noticed a black dot in the sky to his right.
Not long after, it appeared above Ye Qiu. "Kid, stop! Third Soul Skill, Arrow Feather!"
Three soul rings—white, yellow, and purple—enveloped his body, with the purple ring lighting up.
Dozens of arrow-like feathers suddenly flung out from the wings, shooting towards Ye Qiu.
Thud thud thud!
Ye Qiu managed to stop Tiger in time, and the feathers disappeared into the ground.
Looking coldly, Yin Yan hovered in the air, and dust billowed in the distance. Soon, the Black Tiger Mercenary Group surrounded Ye Qiu.
"What do you want?" This was Ye Qiu's first time encountering a robber. Under his Sharingan's scrutiny, the highest soul power among the group was only Soul Master, nothing to fear!
A dark-skinned, muscular man cracked his knuckles, and with each step he took, a soul ring rose beneath his feet.
After four steps, his muscles bulged, and tiger stripes appeared on his face.
"Boy! Hand over your manhood! I'll spare your life!"
Yin Yan added from the sky, "And your secret of controlling soul beasts!"
"Right, right, I almost forgot, tell me how you control soul beasts too!" Wang Hu squinted, his eyes filled with greed.
"..." Several black lines appeared on Ye Qiu's forehead; anyone who didn't know better would think he was the one with a tiger spirit.
What the hell, manhood?
While Ye Qiu was stunned, the Blue Silver Emperor's voice urged, "Brother~ hurry, that... feeling is about to disappear."
"Yes! Right away!" he replied inwardly.
"Kid! Have you thought this through? Our big brother is a Soul Master, he might lose patience~"
"Pfft! Hehe" Hearing Yin Yan's words, Ye Qiu sneered, "Just a useless Soul Master with a Purple Ring!"
His Mangekyou Sharingan was already activated, and he spoke with a hint of nonchalance, "Hurry up, I'm in a hurry!"
"Kid! You're asking for death! Watch me capture you and feed you to the wolves!"
"Feed you to the wolves?" Ye Qiu's face turned cold when he saw the bloodstains on the wolf's mouth in the iron cage, "You've already chosen your own death!"
The people around him watched Wang Hu rush towards Ye Qiu, their faces showing cruel smiles.
However, Wang Hu, who had just run out, felt something was wrong.
Looking at the blood-red space around him, he remembered that he was still in the Star Dou Great Forest!
He was bound to a cross
, his face filled with terror. The boy who should have been riding a Soul Beast was standing in front of him, his cold voice devoid of any emotion, "I'll stab you for a day and a night."
"Ah!" Wang Hu's screams were
endless. Sharp swords pierced his body.
Outside, the smiles on the faces of the others froze. Wang Hu, who was about to run out, suddenly knelt down!
What happened?
