The Shadow Wolf Emperor was entirely dark purple, its body almost a perfect match to the Luminous Wolf Emperor's. However, its beast eyes were as deep and dark as an abyss, seeming to devour all light, heat, and life when they moved.
It made no effort to hide its hostility toward the Luminous Wolf Emperor, and the darkness that had been dispelled by the radiant holy light was gradually re-forming.
The Luminous Wolf Emperor had long grown accustomed to the Shadow Wolf Emperor's mockery and provocations. He slowly said, "Abyss, my child Radiant Star is dead, killed in the Land of Eternal Night."
The Shadow Wolf Emperor's pupils contracted slightly. No wonder the Luminous Wolf Emperor was so enraged. It knew how much Radiant Star, the Silver Wolf, was favored by the Radiant Light.
He was the only son to inherit the Wolf Emperor Bloodline!
The Luminous Wolf Emperor had only a thirty percent chance of breaking through the Third Great Limitation. If the Luminous Wolf Emperor were to fall, Radiant Star, the Silver Wolf, would surely ascend to the throne of the Wolf Emperor!
Anyone who dared to harm Radiant Star, the Silver Wolf, was incredibly bold!
"Radiant Star left the Eternal Day and deserved to die! Radiant Light, leave the Land of Eternal Night immediately, or don't blame me for being unfriendly."
Knowing the reason for the incident didn't mean allowing the Luminous Wolf Emperor to act recklessly in the Land of Eternal Night. The Shadow Wolf Emperor issued a warning, the darkness around the Luminous Wolf Emperor growing denser and more enveloping.
"Is that what you think?"
The Luminous Wolf Emperor seemed somewhat taken aback, sighing with disappointment. "We are of the same mother, with the same Chaos Blood flowing in our veins.
Abyss, the dark mutation led to Father expelling you from the clan. You hate him deeply, so you and I have divided the territory. It's fine; I can give you the land you like and restrain the clan members from disturbing you. Radiant Star is my child, with the same bloodline as you, and he was innocent."
"Enough rambling!"
Resentment flashed in the Shadow Wolf Emperor's eyes as it roared, "That old thing was lucky to die in the Third Great Tribulation. Don't mention him to me again. Half the territory is mine by right, whether you give it or not, it's mine!
I have one question for you: Have you dealt with the murderer of Radiant Star?"
The Luminous Wolf Emperor shook his head. "The murderer's aura suddenly vanished in a strange way. I don't know if he died or fled."
"Worthless!"
The Shadow Wolf Emperor cursed, "Have you been cultivating for over two hundred thousand years, only to end up like a dog?"
The Luminous Wolf Emperor looked at it deeply and said, "Radiant Star's death was an accident, and the clan has no suitable heir. Brother, take care. After all… if I die in the Heavenly Tribulation, you will need to take on the responsibility and return to lead the clan."
The Shadow Wolf Emperor snorted coldly, refusing to acknowledge the Luminous Wolf Emperor. Seeing this, the Luminous Wolf Emperor turned and left the Land of Eternal Night, his tall and strong body now seeming slightly hunched.
Staring intently at its brother's departing figure, the once mighty emperor was now inevitably in his twilight years. The ground beneath the Shadow Wolf Emperor suddenly cracked, sending stones flying and dust into the air, with crack-like fissures spreading far and wide.
"Go and investigate! Who killed Radiant Star!"
It ordered the large group of dark-attribute Spirit Beasts gathered behind it, then swung its tail and returned to the core area of the Land of Eternal Night.
As the two great beasts and the numerous dark Spirit Beasts gradually dispersed, a violent coughing sound echoed from the ground, which seemed to have been plowed by an iron plow.
A pale hand lifted a charred film, revealing two disheveled figures, their clothes tattered and their faces smeared with dirt. Fortunately, they were still alive.
"What a close call…"
Ling Bai and Xu Jiujiu slowly got up, feeling their weak and powerless bodies and their completely drained Soul Power. They looked at each other, seeing the sentiment of surviving a disaster in each other's eyes.
The thing that blocked the full-force attack of a 290,000-year-old Spirit Beast was naturally a treasure, called the Heavenly Dream Ice Silk Worm Molt!
The Heavenly Dream Remnant could trap a 390,000-year-old Azure Ice Imperial Scorpion. Ling Bai had taken it to have an extra trump card in case of emergencies, and it proved useful just three months later.
"This is very expensive, right?" Xu Jiujiu pointed at the Heavenly Dream Remnant, weakly saying.
Ling Bai nodded solemnly. A million-year-old Spirit Beast remnant, unique to the Tang Sect Continent. What do you think?
"I'll compensate you?"
"Hmm…"
Xu Jiujiu did not question it but felt even more embarrassed. She deliberately avoided looking directly at Ling Bai and tentatively asked:
"Ten million Golden Soul Coins?"
Just mentioning ten million, the princess's generosity was无形中豪气冲天.
Ling Bai replied oddly, "Are you trying to give alms to a beggar?"
"No, no, no, because that's all I have!" Xu Jiujiu hastily explained, "I have other ways to compensate you. My elder brother is preparing a coming-of-age gift for me, and I can choose any treasure from the Star Luo Empire's Imperial Treasure Vault. You've saved my life twice and helped me so much. I'll give you this opportunity as a token of my gratitude!"
"It's a deal."
After some consideration, Ling Bai agreed. The Star Luo Empire had a history of over ten thousand years, and the Imperial Treasure Vault contained countless treasures, including Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones!
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silk Worm Molt was an unexpected windfall. Exchanging it for something from the Star Luo Treasure Vault might not be a loss. Back in the Tian Dou Empire, they had the Vast Sea Heaven and Earth Canopy. Perhaps the Star Luo Empire, which was their rival, had some divine artifact as well!
Ling Bai finally agreed, and Xu Jiujiu felt relieved. They couldn't stay here any longer, so they hurriedly made their way out of the Dark Radiant Forest.
...
The twilight was dim, the sunset like blood, the golden-rimmed sun casting a radiant glow that was almost dreamlike, almost unreal.
Ling Bai and Xu Jiujiu suddenly left the Land of Eternal Night, and in the presence of the long-awaited real sunset, they instinctively closed their eyes.
They quietly enjoyed the peace after the storm, neither of them speaking rashly until a soft voice broke the tranquility.
"Ning Bai, how about coming back to Star Luo City with me?"
"Oh? Does Princess Jiuer want to defy the world and shelter an irredeemable Evil Soul Master?" Ling Bai teased.
"I'm serious. You're not that bad; you can return to the light and find your way back."
On the journey, Xu Jiujiu had thought about it for a long time. This was her sincere belief. Besides, the continent's situation was unpredictable, and the Sun Moon Empire had sinister intentions. She believed that Ling Bai's future was limitless and hoped to keep him by her side, benefiting both the Princess Manor and the Star Luo Empire.
As for the Evil Soul Master?
Sorry, if the royal family says he's a righteous Soul Master, who dares to oppose it!
"Return to the light?"
Ling Bai laughed bitterly. The Evil Soul Master is Ning Bai, what does it have to do with me, Ling Bai!
As everyone knows!
The Six-Winged Angel and the Evil Soul Master are mortal enemies!
"All good things come to an end, Princess Jiuer, until we meet again."
Ling Bai bid farewell to Xu Jiujiu and walked in the direction of Shrek Academy, leaving a graceful figure behind.
"Ning Bai, if you ever need a place to settle down, I promise you that as long as you don't become a thoroughly evil villain, the Star Luo Empire's Princess Manor will always have a place for you!"
The figure paused slightly, then gave a distant OK sign.
