"Let's not reveal their whereabouts for now, let's see how they react first!"
"Xiaowu should also stay here for the time being; hopefully, no one will discover her. If Tang Hao were to find out, all our previous efforts would truly have been in vain!"
"Ye Feng, Brother?"
Hulena asked.
Ye Feng walked over calmly from the opposite side.
Because he didn't want outsiders to discover his secret, he had actually found Xiaowu long ago; locating a hundred-thousand-year soul beast was a matter of seconds for him.
It was just that Ye Feng didn't fancy this particular hundred-thousand-year soul beast!!
Hulena was also the first one to discover Ye Feng as she was walking at the front, with the rest of the group lagging behind.
She hurried forward to greet him, her intentions seen through by Ye Feng long ago, just like the Pope, eager to know whether the hundred-thousand-year soul beast had been obtained!
"I might have to disappoint you. When I arrived, the hundred-thousand-year soul beast had already slipped away and was not watched over."
"Ah, what a pity."
Ye Feng said in a deep voice.
Hulena couldn't believe her ears; Ye Feng actually told her that he arrived here half a time earlier than them and ended up with nothing!
"Zzzz—"
The collective of Martial Soul Hall also rushed to Ye Feng's presence, all with expectant looks in their eyes, waiting for him.
"Ye Feng, what's the situation now, did you find Xiaowu or not? You were running ahead of us and were the first to appear here, don't tell me you didn't find the hundred-thousand-year soul beast."
An Elder asked him that.
Watching Ye Feng shake his head.
It seemed he too understood what it meant.
It looks like obtaining a hundred-thousand-year soul beast is not that easy!
This was harder than making a live capture of Ah Yin in the past!
"No way, Brother Ye Feng, didn't you say you had found tracings of the hundred-thousand-year soul beast? How come you haven't found the hundred-thousand-year soul beast yet?"
The crowd looked puzzled.
"Impossible, didn't you say that you used the Thousand Li Eye Telescope and saw Tang Hao on his way to find Xiaowu, but now you're saying you haven't found Xiaowu? Are you kidding, you must be joking, right?"
Evil Moon seemed to recall what Ye Feng had said before and suddenly felt that Ye Feng was deceiving them.
Suddenly, Evil Moon thought Ye Feng was a big liar, toying with them, and even lured them to this forsaken place, only to end up with no news!
Evil Moon immediately unleashed his Soul Power, about to vent his frustration on Ye Feng!
"Alright, stop messing with us and hand over the hundred-thousand-year soul beast; we believe you have the strength to capture it."
Ghost Douluo directly said to him.
At this moment, Bi Bidong got down from the carriage and everyone's gaze turned towards her.
"Your Holiness, the Pope!"
Everyone bowed their heads.
"Ye Feng, I gave you ample time to find the hundred-thousand-year soul beast, and you seem to have come back empty-handed. Why did you run off to the front by yourself?"
"You better not be playing tricks; if I find out that you did something underhanded, I won't let it slide."
Bi Bidong said sternly.
Since her fight with Tang Hao, Bi Bidong's attitude towards Ye Feng had completely changed.
She wasn't like this before.
After Bi Bidong had helped Ye Feng once, her personality had dramatically changed. When Ye Feng also tried to find the hundred-thousand-year soul beast for Bi Bidong, he had never been looked upon favorably, lacking any trust in him!
"Your Holiness, I have found her, but there were some difficulties and I'm afraid I may disappoint you," Ye Feng said directly.
Without any hesitation, he spoke his mind plainly, why not?
After all, they wouldn't dare do anything to him!
If it really came to a fight, they could just die together!
"You mean to tell me that the hundred-thousand-year soul beast got away, but I don't see you as someone without a brain. You couldn't have let her go on purpose, could you?"
the Elder said to him.
"Bang——!"
A surge of Soul Power burst from the Magic Wand in Bi Bidong's hand and struck the ground.
All the people present were almost scared stiff.
Bi Bidong was indeed not someone to be trifled with; anyone failing to complete their mission would face severe punishment.
Yet, Ye Feng was one of those who had not fulfilled Bi Bidong's demand to capture a hundred-thousand-year soul beast and bring it before her.
"Pope, please calm your anger. As long as our people are still in the forest, we will find the hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Besides, isn't Ye Feng with us? No need to worry about not finding it,"
another Elder said.
This Elder knew how to put in a good word!
Only then did Ye Feng lift his head and look at Bi Bidong with an awkward smile on his face.
Bi Bidong rolled her eyes at Ye Feng.
It was as if she was warning him that he was a good-for-nothing!!
Even a good dog would be less trouble to handle!
"Humph! It's just one hundred-thousand-year soul beast; what's there to be so angry about? I can easily obtain it,"
with a disgruntled posture, Du Gubo said.
He wasn't wrong. In Aquipeia Forest, finding a hundred-thousand-year soul beast wasn't difficult, but Bi Bidong, unlike other Soul Masters, insisted on one that was unique - one reincarnated from a rabbit, just like Tang San's mother, Ah Yin, who possessed a unique Soul Ring.
"Du Gubo, give me a break. You say you can easily get a hundred-thousand-year soul beast? Are you joking? We have been searching for a whole week without even a glimpse of it, and yet you claim you can easily find it,"
"Haha——"
Everyone laughed at Du Gubo.
At that moment, he was utterly ridiculous.
Everyone was laughing at him except for Ye Feng, who chose not to ridicule but remained silent, daring not voice any concerns about Martial Soul Hall.
Because he needed to continue growing stronger to have the power to conquer the entire Douluo Realm, he had to bury all discontent deep within his heart.
"Old Poison, keep it down. No one will think you're mute if you don't speak,"
Ye Feng said to him.
Ye Feng's gaze was fixed on him, hoping Old Poison would understand his words.
"Humph——!!"
At that moment, Du Gubo pouted his lips.
He was clearly resentful. If it weren't for Ye Feng stopping him in person, things might have come to blows!
Meanwhile, Tang San.
"I have a nagging feeling, as if Xiaowu is close by,"
It was the deep of night, yet Tang San could not sleep, his mind preoccupied with Xiaowu, not knowing her whereabouts!
"Xiaosan, don't worry too much. If Ye Feng really took Xiaowu away, he wouldn't dare harm her even if given a hundred guts. Rest easy tonight; there's still a lot to busy ourselves with tomorrow,"
Tang Hao said without lying down to rest; he was taking the night vigil.
When he saw Tang San stop speaking, he sat cross-legged by the campfire and closed his eyes.
Ah Yin, our Xiaosan and I were alike back in the day, willing to risk our lives to protect the person we love. He's someone who loves fearlessly and hates with passion, and I admire that about him.
Please grant me more time, and I will surely take you back from Ye Feng's hands and into mine!
Ye Feng, I will not let you go. I will kill you myself so our Xiaosan can live in peace!
Tang Hao swore silently in his heart.
Hearing the others, it did seem quite amusing. A Hao Tian Douluo unable to bring back Ah Yin, he obviously wasn't as powerful as he used to be!
