Da Ming and Er Ming, the two brothers, were stunned.
They had originally thought that a faction possessing five or six Title Douluo was already terrifying.
After all, any Title Douluo was a rare gem.
But now, Ling Yun's words completely changed their understanding of Spirit Hall.
Da Ming, in a serious tone, sought Ling Yun's opinion.
"In that case, how should we handle this matter?
I'm afraid Spirit Hall won't let this go once they know about it."
Ling Yun didn't respond immediately. Two plans had already formed in his mind.
First, use the Devour ability to devour the corpse of a Soul Douluo or Title Douluo, mimic the target's appearance, and go to Spirit Hall.
Then, inform Spirit Hall about the annihilation of the entire team, and find a powerful force to take the blame.
The advantage of this is that, if handled properly, the anger of Spirit Hall can be diverted to the scapegoat.
However, it also contains great risks. The entire team died, and only he survived.
It would be a miracle if Spirit Hall didn't suspect him; going to Spirit Hall might be like a dog getting a meat bun—a one-way trip.
Therefore, he directly ignored the first plan.
The second plan was to establish an organization that could rival Spirit Hall.
Use the power of all the Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest to contend against Spirit Hall.
Previously on the Battle Power Gold Ranking, nearly 150 of the top 200 were Soul Beasts, many of whom resided in the Star Dou Great Forest.
If they could unite these Soul Beasts, resisting the threat from Spirit Hall wouldn't be difficult.
Ling Yun knew very well that integrating the forces of the Soul Beasts within the Star Dou Great Forest wouldn't be easy.
However, he already had a preliminary plan for how to proceed.
Ling Yun surveyed the three siblings before seriously expressing his view.
"I believe we should establish a faction, one specifically for Soul Beasts.
We'll gather all the Soul Beasts of ten thousand years or more within the Star Dou Great Forest into a single force!"
"Huh? Tiger Bro! Did I hear that right? You want to unify the entire Star Dou Great Forest?"
Er Ming's eyes, as big as millstones, were filled with unfamiliar scrutiny as he looked at Ling Yun.
"That's right. If we want to stand against the threat from Spirit Hall, it's best to establish a Beast Alliance.
Members can help each other. If those fellows from Spirit Hall come, we can join forces and drive them away!"
Ling Yun nodded resolutely, affirming his idea.
"But, getting all the Soul Beasts with ten-thousand-year cultivation or more in the Star Dou Great Forest to unite... the difficulty is beyond your imagination."
Da Ming immediately poured a bucket of cold water on Ling Yun, responding seriously.
"Don't look at me and Er Ming as if we're the kings of the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
There are many powerful Soul Beasts hidden within the Star Dou Great Forest. Even my brother and I find it difficult to control them..."
Da Ming abruptly stopped mid-sentence.
His eyes were fixed on the center of the lake in the Star Dou Great Forest, seemingly apprehensive.
Ling Yun knew what he was worried about, but Da Ming couldn't say it yet, and there was no need for Ling Yun to bring it up.
One day, Ling Yun would meet those beings.
His most crucial task now was to quickly increase his strength and his foundation so he wouldn't become a pawn in the future.
"I think what you're worried about isn't directly related to what we need to do right now. We can integrate the forces that want to join us, and we won't force those who don't.
However, humans have always treated us Soul Beasts as living soul rings. Once they need them, it means one of our Soul Beast brethren will fall! Do you really want this to continue?"
Ling Yun clenched his fists, his eyes filled with determination.
Now, he completely put himself in the shoes of a Soul Beast.
From the perspective of a Soul Beast, the humans' actions of hunting Soul Beasts were, of course, unforgivable.
Only by doing so could he stir up Da Ming and Er Ming's anger, and only then would they agree to his plan.
Er Ming was notoriously hot-tempered and impulsive.
So, someone like him was very easily swayed.
Ling Yun had only just finished speaking when Er Ming slammed his fist onto the ground, roaring with rage.
"Of course, I don't want it! Humans don't even consider us Soul Beasts, taking whatever they want from us! We Soul Beasts should also have the right to survive!"
Xiao Wu also nodded, clenching her fists and answering firmly.
"We Soul Beasts should indeed have our own power, so that we can protect ourselves from the threats of humans! However..."
Xiao Wu seemed to think of something, hesitated for a moment, and then continued.
"However, Soul Beasts are used to freedom, to being undisciplined. Getting them to join the Beast Alliance is probably much harder than you imagine."
"I know this too, but it doesn't matter."
Ling Yun chuckled, revealing a sinister smile.
"I have a way to deal with them. Whether they are human or Soul Beast, if their lives are seriously threatened, they can't possibly remain indifferent."
Xiao Wu's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Brother, are you planning to take direct action, to force Soul Beasts to submit?"
Ling Yun could see the doubt in Xiao Wu's eyes, and a mischievous glint flashed in his eyes as he gave a wicked smile.
"Don't worry, I won't do it myself, and I won't let Da Ming or Er Ming do it either.
In less than two weeks, I'll have a way to make them obediently submit."
"A way? What way?" Xiao Wu tilted her head, looking like an inquisitive child.
"We can try diplomacy first. If they agree, then great.
If they don't agree, there will always be a time when they suffer a loss. If they suffer a loss, I don't believe they'll still be indifferent."
Ling Yun smiled mysteriously and stopped talking, leaving the three siblings completely puzzled.
Their curiosity had been piqued, and then he suddenly stopped talking; this feeling made Xiao Wu very uncomfortable.
It was like a hundred claws were scratching at her heart, making her pout unhappily.
"Come on, little girl. I'll take you back."
Ling Yun spread his wings on the ground, allowing Xiao Wu to climb onto his back. He then took off, soaring towards the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Da Ming and Er Ming watched Ling Yun disappear into the distance, their faces a mix of envy, jealousy, and resentment.
They were also Soul Beasts, so why was he able to transform into a Three-Tailed Nether Tiger one moment and a Bloodthirsty Griffon the next?
He could run on the ground and fly in the sky. How awesome was that…
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
Heaven Dou Empire, Imperial City, the Crown Prince's Residence.
Qian Renxue was extremely anxious. The task she had assigned to find the Three-Tailed Nether Tiger hadn't been completed yet.
Most importantly, the Porcupinefish and Snake Lance, the two Soul Douluo she had sent to the Star Dou Great Forest, were still missing.
They hadn't returned, nor had they even sent a message.
She felt that the situation was very unusual.
Normally, no matter what happened, the Porcupinefish and Snake Lance would have sent back news.
It was absolutely impossible for there to be no word at all like this.
She had a bad feeling in her heart, a premonition that perhaps the Porcupinefish and Snake Lance had been killed...
