When the green light bloomed from the tiger's body, all the soul beasts present, except for the tiger, were stunned.
The tiger with white eyes emerged from its inner realm without the restraint of Ye Die Die. Seeing this calm scene, it seemed to understand something and quickly spoke, afraid of being interrupted by Ye Die Die again.
"Roar, I am the White-Eyed Demon Tiger, the Blue Silver King. Don't you know me?" The White-Eyed Demon Tiger asked A Yin.
"I don't know you, and there seems to be no memory of your existence. But there is the power of the Blue Silver Heart, which belongs to the Blue Silver Grass, inside you. What's going on?" A Yin looked at the White-Eyed Demon Tiger with confusion, hoping to get an answer from him.
"Roar, it seems that the previous generation of Blue Silver King didn't engrave me in your inherited memories. How boring," the White-Eyed Demon Tiger replied.
"Roar, he must have thought I wouldn't live until that time, or he believed that your Blue Silver Grass tribe could return to the inner area so quickly. No wonder the last Blue Silver King looked at me with fear in his eyes."
From the White-Eyed Demon Tiger's words, both Ye Die Die and A Yin learned about the situation.
Thousands of years ago, the White-Eyed Demon Tiger was already an eight-thousand-year soul beast.
The cultivation of the Demon Tiger clan was different from ordinary soul beasts. They needed to absorb malevolent energy for cultivation. It could be said that absorbing malevolent energy was more effective than absorbing soul power for cultivation.
Therefore, the White-Eyed Demon Tiger chose to absorb malevolent energy for cultivation. However, absorbing malevolent energy also meant that it was easy to lose control and become a soul beast without sentience.
Unwilling to accept this fate, the White-Eyed Demon Tiger made a chance discovery. It found that cultivating near the Blue Silver Grass could better resist malevolent energy and cultivate more effectively.
After thinking it through, the White-Eyed Demon Tiger decided to cultivate within the Blue Silver Grass tribe. But how could the Blue Silver King allow such a malevolent soul beast to enter their tribe for cultivation?
The Blue Silver King decisively refused. In response, the White-Eyed Demon Tiger proposed a deal.
Every day it cultivated within the Blue Silver Grass tribe, it would help the Blue Silver Grass tribe resist external enemies.
At that time, the position of the Blue Silver Grass in the inner area was unstable. Their combat power was very low, and they were easily expelled from the inner area at any time. They needed a powerful soul beast to protect them.
Blue Silver King pondered for a moment and found no harm in it, so he agreed to the White-Eyed Demon Tiger's proposition.
Then, they swore this oath to the Dragon God, and once the agreement took effect, the White-Eyed Demon Tiger began cultivating in the territory of the Blue Silver Grass.
The White-Eyed Demon Tiger would occasionally go out to absorb some malevolent energy but spent most of its time within the Blue Silver Grass tribe, using the peaceful aura to suppress the side effects of the malevolent energy.
Over the next three thousand years, apart from driving away a small number of soul beasts, the White-Eyed Demon Tiger peacefully cultivated until it reached the level of a ten-thousand-year soul beast.
To break through to the next level, the White-Eyed Demon Tiger needed to find a place rich in malevolent energy. So it left the range of the Blue Silver Grass for a few days to make the breakthrough.
Unexpectedly, in those three thousand years, the power within the inner area grew, and the living space for each species became smaller, except for the survival space of the Blue Silver Grass.
While they had the protection of the White-Eyed Demon Tiger in their daily lives, the other species dared not launch an attack. But when they sensed the White-Eyed Demon Tiger leaving to make the breakthrough, most species within the inner area united and advanced toward the Blue Silver Grass tribe, disrupting the tranquility of the entire inner area.
The Blue Silver Grass was not a powerful soul beast to begin with; they were weak in strength and repeatedly defeated by the united soul beasts. They had no choice but to retreat to the outskirts and leave that area of the Blue Silver Grass to the other soul beasts.
However, those soul beasts remained unwavering and were determined to kill the Blue Silver King, the ten-thousand-year soul beast.
Every ten-thousand-year soul beast had immense allure for other ten-thousand-year soul beasts. Now that they had the opportunity to kill one, they naturally wouldn't let go easily.
As a result, the Blue Silver King was hunted by those ten-thousand-year soul beasts, while the White-Eyed Demon Tiger was in the midst of its breakthrough. The war within the inner area caused the malevolent energy to accelerate its breakthrough.
Upon breaking through, the White-Eyed Demon Tiger witnessed the hunted Blue Silver King and became extremely angry. It rescued the Blue Silver King from the clutches of several soul beasts.
But by then, the Blue Silver King's life was already nearing its end. Among the tribe, the high-ranking Blue Silver Grass leaves were either dead or injured. Seeing this scene, the Blue Silver King made another agreement with the White-Eyed Demon Tiger.
They swore upon the Dragon God that the Blue Silver King would give the White-Eyed Demon Tiger a portion of the Blue Silver Heart, and in return, the White-Eyed Demon Tiger would help the entire Blue Silver Grass tribe from going extinct, providing assistance whenever possible.
"But that doesn't make sense. Last time, you didn't protect the Blue Silver Grass properly," Ye Die Die asked.
The White-Eyed Demon Tiger knew exactly what Ye Die Die was referring to, and he felt a bit embarrassed.
"Roar! Last time, that was an accident. I was suppressing the influence of the malevolent energy, and I unintentionally didn't pay attention. By the time I realized it, you all had already left, and that Blue Silver King's life was nearing its end."
"Why didn't you just say earlier that you knew the Blue Silver King?"
"Roar! I was actually about to say it, but you interrupted me directly. I couldn't even find a chance to speak."
Ye Die Die still had a bit of a stubborn attitude, although he knew he had done something wrong.
"Who told you to pretend before speaking? I thought you were going to attack Ah Yin, so I thought I'd strike first."
"Roar! There's nothing I can do about it. It's just my habit to start with a coaxing sound. But I have to admit, your mental power is truly formidable."
After listening to the White-Eyed Demon Tiger's story, Ah Yin also understood a scene that was unknown to her in her inherited memories.
"White-Eyed Demon Tiger, thank you for your help to our Blue Silver Grass."
Ah Yin sincerely thanked the White-Eyed Demon Tiger.
"Yin Sister, why are you thanking this guy? He's just a..."
Ah Yin pulled on Ye Die Die's sleeve, and he stopped talking.
"(=ＴェＴ=) What a troublemaker," Ye Die Die muttered quietly.
"Roar! You don't need to thank me. Blue Silver King, I only did it for the sake of fulfilling that oath. Besides, I haven't really done much to help the Blue Silver Grass tribe. It's truly my fault."
As he spoke, the White-Eyed Demon Tiger started to feel a bit embarrassed.
"Roar! Blue Silver King, are you planning to go to the inner area? I can guide you there. I know a route with not many soul beasts on it."
"Thank you for your trouble, White-Eyed Demon Tiger."
Ah Yin politely replied to the White-Eyed Demon Tiger.
Meanwhile, Ye Die Die pouted and remained silent.
"Roar! It's no trouble at all. After you Blue Silver Grass tribe arrives in the inner area, who knows? Maybe I'll have a chance to visit your territory for cultivation again in the future!"
Next, the White-Eyed Demon Tiger led the majority of the Blue Silver Grass tribe deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.
It must be said that with the protection of the White-Eyed Demon Tiger, they didn't have to lift a finger. Those soul beasts were all driven away by his energy fluctuations.
The soul beasts in the chaotic area weren't afraid of cultivation level, but there was one kind of aura that made them fearful, and that was the malevolent energy.
As long as there was more malevolent energy than them, they would sense the terrifying aura and run away.
The White-Eyed Demon Tiger had absorbed the malevolent energy of twenty thousand years, so naturally, the malevolent energy cultivated by those few thousand-year soul beasts couldn't compare.
