Xuelang was very serious. He nodded emphatically, walked to Maoqiu's side, patted him on the shoulder, and pointed to his dantian. "Your new Azure Dragon, you must nurture it well. It will give you a new life in the future."
"Really?" Disbelief flashed in Maoqiu's eyes.
Buzz!
The White Tiger Token flew out automatically from Tiger Roar's body, transforming into a half-meter-long old white tiger. "You don't need to doubt this. As the head of the four hall masters, if Azure Dragon didn't have some heaven-defying strength, do you think I, White Tiger, would be convinced?"
“He’s right.” The Black Tortoise Token transformed into a small Black Tortoise.
Maoqiu shuddered, wanting to burst into laughter, but couldn't manage it. He could only express his ecstatic joy by roaring.
“If you want to cultivate them, your cultivation speed will slow down, and you may even regress.” Xuelang waved his hand. “These two bottles of pills are the Palace Master’s masterpiece. I am now giving them to you.”
"Thank you, Vice Hall Master. Thank you, Hall Master," Xiaoman and Maoqiu said in unison, bowing slightly.
"We're all on the same side, no need to be polite."
Xuelang looked at the four of them, a hint of worry flashing between his brows. "I'll leave things here to you. I need to continue investigating the location of the Doom Star System and won't be back for a while. If you encounter anything you can't handle, you can send a message to the Palace Master."
Unless absolutely necessary, it's best not to disturb the Palace Master's attempt to break through to the Nine-Star Realm.
Xiaoman was stunned for a long time, deducing the world-destroying power of a nine-star expert.
Maoqiu's eyes were filled with unwavering determination. "I must improve myself as soon as possible and strive to reach the nine-star realm soon."
He was so eager to cultivate to the ninth star realm because Blood Wave transmitted the message, "After reaching the ninth star, you will be able to recover."
A moment later.
Tiger Roar spoke first, "There's a barrier left by the Vice Hall Master here, so it's very safe. Let's discuss how to break the evil orcs' magic array!"
The three nodded.
“I have carefully observed this formation. It is not only enhanced by evil energy, but also by the power of the Ghost Beast Clan.” Wu Lingtian frowned slightly.
"No," Maoqiu and Xiaoman said in unison.
Xiaoman pointed at the fluffy ball, "You tell us!"
After a spark of hope ignited in Maoqiu's heart, he stopped rejecting Xiaoman and nodded slightly. "There is another power in the great formation that does not belong to the evil orcs or the ghost race. If I am not mistaken, it belongs to an even more ancient and evil thing."
“Hmm!” Xiaoman added, “It’s somewhat like a certain evil sect mentioned in the Chihun Empire’s ‘Records of Strange Things.’ There’s very little information about it, just a few words. If you want to know if it’s true, you’ll have to go and verify it yourself.”
Hu Xiao frowned, his expression grim. "This matter is of utmost importance and must be handled properly."
“Yes, the core fighting force of the Black Fiend Palace is fighting against evil creatures in various star fields, and we are all gathered here. We must not let them go and cause trouble in other places.” Wu Lingtian exuded chivalry.
"What should we do?" Xiaoman asked.
"Since the four hall masters have gathered, let's use the 'Power of the Four Divine Beasts' to deal with it." - White Tiger.
"Agreed!" Wu Lingtian.
A brief moment of hesitation flashed in Maoqiu's eyes. "Agreed."
The three of them looked at Xiaoman.
“I naturally have no objection. However, the power of the four divine beasts requires mutual understanding and the sharing of power. I’m afraid my strength is insufficient and I might hold you two back.”
"The four hall masters have always acted this way when fighting enemies, so there is no need for them to feel any psychological burden."
"Then let's give it a try."
Xiaoman extended her right hand.
Hu Xiao and Wu Lingtian also reached out their hands, "Hurry up, what are you dawdling about?"
Maoqiu nodded emphatically, cupped his hands, and bowed deeply. "If I have done anything wrong before, please forgive me, elder sister and the two elder brothers, for my rudeness."
Xiaoman felt a warmth in her heart, but she kept a straight face and glared at him fiercely, "If there's a next time, I will never forgive you."
"I won't do it again, I won't do it again." Maoqiu forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, scratching his head. "Thank you, big sister, thank you, both of you big brothers."
The three exchanged a knowing smile. "Let's begin!"
Before Maoqiu's hand could even touch it, four colors of light—white, red, yellow, and blue—lit up around it.
The light flashed and spun, enveloping the four people.
Buzz!
The light merged, transforming into a deep orange pillar of light.
A dragon's roar resounded, and a bright blue light shone forth, rapidly merging into the orange pillar of light, transforming into deep black specks that shot into the foreheads of the four people.
A feeling of blood connection spread among the four.
"This is the first time you two have entered this state, so try to feel it carefully," Hu Xiao reminded them.
"Um!"
As the leader of the four hall masters, Maoqiu could clearly sense the feelings of the three of them.
"So my older sister has been suffering so much, and I often do things that hurt her. I'm a complete jerk."
"I'm sorry, ma'am, I promise I won't do it again."
Xiaoman was so excited that she almost broke free from her strange state. She quickly composed herself and silently recited a calming mantra.
Maoqiu also recited along.
Hu Xiao and Wu Lingtian felt the same way and quickly entered a state of tranquility.
Under their influence, Maoqiu and Xiaoman also entered this state.
After a long while.
The four of them recovered from the strange state and gained a great deal.
"I didn't expect you to have such powerful techniques. Thank you very much." The White Tiger cupped his hands in thanks.
Wu Lingtian also cupped his hands and nodded.
“The four hall masters are of the same ilk, there’s no need to be so polite,” Xiaoman and Maoqiu said in unison.
"We're so happy to see you two completely put aside your differences, haha..."
Xiaoman laughed along with him.
Maoqiu could only mimic the sound of laughter, a bitter smile playing on his lips as he stared into the distance. "Dudu, give me some more time, and I will definitely cultivate to the Nine-Star Realm as soon as possible and come back to see you."
Let's work together!
"Yes, eldest sister."
Maoqiu opened his arms and hugged her.
"You little rascal, you scared me half to death!" Xiaoman laughed heartily.
Since I first met Maoqiu, he has always been a taciturn and unsmiling person. The fact that he has made such a move shows how much determination he has put in.
He nodded in satisfaction, extended his right fist, and declared, "To live and die together!"
"To live and die together!"
Hu Xiao and Wu Lingtian were stunned. "What is this?"
"A belief that will last until death!"
"I see." The two simultaneously raised their right fists and shouted, "We'll live and die together!"
"To live and die together!"
The four exchanged a smile and slowly walked towards the edge of the barrier...
Endless swamp, evil orcs, hall.
"Chieftain, how much longer are we going to have to stay huddled inside?" the elder asked impatiently.
The tall orc sighed, "If I had known, I wouldn't have spent all my time in the council hall."
Hearing this, everyone felt even more agitated.
“We can barely suppress our anger,” the elder said worriedly. “I’m more worried about our clansmen. If this goes on for too long, who knows what trouble might arise?”
"How could I not know that?" The clan chief looked helplessly at the smartest person. "Do you have a solution?"
A short orc with a large head stepped out from the crowd and smiled bitterly, "If I could think of a way, I wouldn't be here."
Disappointment flashed in everyone's eyes.
"Although I haven't thought of a solution, I can solve the problem at hand."
Stop being so mysterious, just tell me.
The orc pulled out a peach-shaped object from his pocket, which exuded an extremely eerie and evil aura.
This aura strongly repelled the evil energy emanating from them.
"I don't know what this thing is, but it can calm the people of the tribe down."
"Then hurry up and use it."
A bitter look flashed in the short orc's eyes. "There are certain side effects."
"Will people die?" the clan chief asked.
"No, that won't happen!"
"Use it," everyone said in unison.
The orc activated the 'Peach,' releasing an even more eerie and evil aura that swept outwards.
Those affected instantly felt a sense of calm...
An hour later.
Xiaoman and the others were already in their positions, heading towards the very center of the four directions.
"Are you ready?" A telepathic exchange.
"Ready."
"Let's do it."
The roars of dragons, the howls of tigers, the cries of birds, and their hissing echoed throughout the entire sky.
The four divine beasts took human form and hovered above the great formation.
As a warmonger, the White Tiger launched the first attack.
Pop!
The formation trembled slightly.
Immediately afterwards, the other three divine beasts also joined in, and the ripples continued to grow larger.
Suddenly, an extremely malevolent force surged forth from below, neutralizing part of the attack.
"Speed up the attack; we must not give it a chance to repair itself."
"receive."
All four of them pushed their power to the limit, causing the void to tremble as if it were about to crack open at any moment.
boom!
The great formation was repeatedly struck and was on the verge of collapse.
"These despicable humans!" The short, evil orc was furious, accelerating the activation of the 'Peach'. "When this thing is fully activated, you will be reduced to ashes."
"We're here to help you."
As everyone poured their primal energy into it, the 'peach' trembled violently, its surface becoming covered with cracks.
"Keep pushing, it'll break soon."
A look of wild joy flashed in the patriarch's eyes as he pushed his Force to its limit.
Click!
The 'peach' shattered, releasing a tangible, malevolent aura that enveloped the entire evil beast race.
"Waaaaah!" A voice seemed to echo from the depths of the netherworld. "After endless ages, there will be a day of recovery. How wonderful!"
The evil energy solidified and transformed into a human whose appearance was indistinct.
His gaze was sharp as lightning, sweeping over the crowd.
Any evil orc that was ever spotted felt an overwhelming fear rise in their heart and trembled with dread.
Their bodies were completely out of their control, and they knelt down in unison.
The man smiled, opened his mouth, and inhaled.
The surrounding evil energy surged wildly into his body...
"I've become normal again?" the orc soldier asked.
"This... can't be right?" Another soldier carefully sensed the sensation and, confirming that he hadn't misjudged it, jumped up excitedly. "I'm healed! I'm really healed!"
He quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly towards the direction of his hometown, saying, "Ancestors, can you see? We have returned to normal."
Everyone was in tears.
This situation spread rapidly throughout the entire evil orc race.
The mysterious man was still absorbing the evil aura, and his blurry figure was gradually solidifying.
The chieftain mustered his courage and glanced at him, only to find that he looked like an ordinary human. He thought to himself, "Without the protection of evil forces, we are nothing but lambs to the slaughter. No, Brother Kilgasan paid such a high price to let us escape."
I absolutely cannot allow the evil orcs to be wiped off the face of the earth.
He glanced furtively at the experts in his clan, his eyes conveying a message: "Prepare for a desperate fight."
The others responded with their eyes.
Suddenly, several people leaped up and attacked the evil man.
"Those who infect our people with cholera shall die!"
Countless battle axes slashed at him...
