Xiao Wu and Er Ming finally understood after the explanation.
No wonder he maintained the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger form; it was indeed more convenient to use this identity.
Er Ming sized Ling Yun up and down with his eyes, asking in a probing tone.
"Brother Tiger, I'm getting more and more curious about what your true form is. I have a feeling that even the Three-Tailed Nether Tiger isn't your real form, is it?"
Ling Yun smiled mysteriously.
"Sorry, I can't reveal my true form. You don't need to know anyway.
Just remember that no matter what I look like, I'm still your Brother Tiger."
"Alright, if you don't want to say, then don't. Honestly..."
"It's not just Xiao Wu who thinks you look scary now. Even Big Brother and I feel a genuine sense of dread," Er Ming said hesitantly to Ling Yun.
"Back then, Big Brother and I fought that six-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
If Big Brother and I hadn't had the advantage in numbers, and if our cultivation hadn't been far superior to it, we probably would have suffered a great loss at its hands."
It wore a look of schadenfreude.
"Now it's good. That six-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is gone.
The Beast Alliance has gained an eighty-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. From now on, it's the Beast Alliance's enemies who will have a headache."
Da Ming poked its head out of the lake, its eyes, as big as windmills, playfully looking at Er Ming.
"You big oaf, when Brother Tiger showed up as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, you actually wanted to drive him out of the Star Dou Great Forest."
"If I hadn't stopped you, you might have been dragged into the Life and Death Arena and given a good thrashing."
Er Ming immediately scratched his head in embarrassment, nervously explaining, "How was I supposed to know that Brother Tiger would suddenly change from a hen to a duck, becoming the extremely threatening Dark Demon Evil God Tiger? How could I not be nervous?"
He looked at Ling Yun and nodded apologetically, his manner endearingly clumsy. "Sorry, Brother Tiger, please be magnanimous in the future and don't hold it against your little brother."
"The Life and Death Arena... please don't use it on me, it's not worth it..."
"Haha..." Ling Yun couldn't help but chuckle at Er Ming's apprehensive expression.
"Don't worry. I wouldn't use the Life and Death Arena carelessly, especially not on my brother. There's no need for you to be like that."
Er Ming patted his chest with his huge palm, looking relieved.
"That's good, that's good..."
Xiao Wu, who was lying on Ling Yun's tiger back, seemed to remember something, and a serious expression appeared on her face.
"Right, Brother, I heard from some companions who came from the southern part of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Recently, humans also entered the Star Dou Great Forest.
I don't know why, but that group of humans withdrew from the Star Dou Great Forest two days ago, as if they were wary of something..."
"The southern part of the Star Dou Great Forest?" Ling Yun pondered, guessing.
"It seems they are search personnel from the Star Luo Empire. They probably came to the Star Dou Great Forest with the same goal as the Martial Soul Hall: to capture me.
However, the Star Luo Empire's people didn't go deep into the core area, and they might not have even stayed long in the ten-thousand-year soul beast area."
Ling Yun's lips curled slightly, revealing a hint of a wicked smile, which made his already bloodthirsty and sinister tiger face appear even more ferocious.
"News of the Martial Soul Hall being wiped out twice reached the Star Luo Emperor's ears, and he recalled the search personnel.
Otherwise, we would have met the team sent by the Star Luo Empire long ago.
I have to say, those guys are really lucky. If they hadn't retreated, I definitely wouldn't have minded sending them all to the afterlife."
Ling Yun's tone was light, without any killing intent, yet it made all the soul beasts present feel a chill in their hearts.
"It seems that in the future, our Beast Alliance must also deploy informants to the southern periphery."
"Lest one day, the people of the Star Luo Empire intrude again..."
After a long chat and dinner, Ling Yun lay by the lake, gazing at the starry sky. The lake breeze gave him a refreshing feeling.
"Eh…"
The sharp sense of smell inherited from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger allowed him to detect a faint scent of blood in the wind.
The owner of this blood scent was slowly approaching, and it was clear their target was them.
Ling Yun immediately got up, instructing Xiao Wu to climb onto his back so they could go see what was happening together.
Once Xiao Wu was settled, Ling Yun dashed towards the distance like a black phantom.
After about five minutes, Ling Yun found the soul beast emitting the scent of blood. It was a twenty-thousand-year-old Sky Snow Sable.
At this moment, it was already collapsed on the ground, looking like it was on its last legs.
Ling Yun discovered that its abdomen was injured, a large gash torn open by a beast, with blood continuously flowing out.
This Sky Snow Sable was the leader of the Sky Snow Sable Clan, which had only recently joined the Beast Alliance a couple of days ago.
The Sky Snow Sable Clan's strength wasn't particularly strong, and they didn't possess any powerful offensive abilities.
Their most potent ability was to act cute.
However, this "cute" skill was only effective on girls; hardly any girl could resist the charm of the Sky Snow Sable.
Xiao Wu eagerly jumped off the tiger's back, picked up the Sky Snow Sable on the ground, cradled it in her arms, and gently stroked it, her face filled with concern.
Ling Yun looked at the Sky Snow Sable in Xiao Wu's arms, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.
The Sky Snow Sable Clan had always been living well on the periphery.
They had just decided to join the Beast Alliance, becoming one of the Alliance's eyes on the outskirts, but in the blink of an eye, they were in this state.
Ling Yun suspected something was amiss. He raised his paw and gently tapped the Sky Snow Sable. It took a while to wake it up.
"Little one, what happened? Why are you so badly hurt? Who did this to you?"
The Sky Snow Sable struggled to open its eyes, weakly glancing at Ling Yun. It let out a few plaintive, feeble cries.
After a few cries, its small eyes were filled with pleading and reluctance. Finally, it closed its eyes helplessly and breathed its last.
Ling Yun couldn't understand the Sky Snow Sable Clan's language, but Xiao Wu seemed to understand.
Her face was now filled with anger. She gritted her teeth, as if talking to herself, but also as if making a promise to the deceased Sky Snow Sable.
"Xiao Sable, since you chose to join the Beast Alliance back then, you're a part of the Beast Alliance.
You can leave with peace of mind. Your brother and I will definitely avenge you. We won't let go of any of the soul beasts that harmed you!"
Ling Yun was utterly bewildered, not understanding what exactly had happened.
"Girl, this Sky Snow Sable Clan…"
Xiao Wu clenched her fists, angrily explaining the situation.
It turned out that in the evening, the Sky Snow Sable Clan had suddenly been attacked by a combined assault of an unknown number of soul beasts.
The entire Sky Snow Sable Clan suffered heavy losses, with sixty percent of them gone, leaving only forty percent of the old, weak, sick, and disabled.
It was originally certain to die, but those soul beasts didn't directly end its life.
Instead, it was deliberately driven into the core area, forcing it to seek help from the Beast Alliance.
Ling Yun's expression gradually became stern upon hearing this.
These soul beasts attacking the Sky Snow Sable Clan were clearly maliciously provoking his dignity and the authority of the Beast Alliance!!!
