Chapter 1098: Chapter 739: Stellar Death Warrior
"Xiao Bei, I was just thinking about asking you for help."
Li Qianluo ran over with a playful smile, reaching out to tease the Kylin on Xiang Beifei’s shoulder.
"This little guy is quite the mystery. I initially thought you might be the Wooden Kirin from the Ju Mang Tribe!"
She poked Erha’s horn, causing Erha to bare its teeth ferociously, but instead, it made Li Qianluo giggle incessantly.
"Is it the Wooden Kirin from the Ju Mang Tribe?"
Luo Shanyou stared at Erha, even more surprised to see that this Wooden Kirin was actually following Xiang Beifei!
Doesn’t that mean Xiang Beifei possesses the Jianmu of the Ju Mang Tribe?
Erha arrogantly raised its head, wagging its tail, looking majestic.
"By the way, why did the bloodwood suddenly go berserk?" Duan Guyan couldn’t help but ask from the side.
"It must be Xiao Bei’s blood! Xiao Bei’s blood gave it a taste for it. Did you just draw Xiao Bei’s heart blood to feed the bloodwood?" Li Qianluo asked.
"Uh, yes, I thought he was just...."
When Duan Guyan came in earlier, to verify Xiang Beifei’s identity, he did draw Xiang Beifei’s blood, and to prevent it from being wasted, he fed it to the bloodwood.
"Xiao Bei’s strength is formidable; it should have accelerated the mutation of the bloodwood." Li Qianluo analyzed.
"So that’s it!"
Duan Guyan felt a surge of fear, and couldn’t help but glance at Xiang Beifei again, apologetically saying, "It’s my fault."
"It’s okay, the bloodwood here needs to be replaced sooner or later." Xiang Beifei replied.
Luo Shanyou’s gloomy expression eased considerably; having an extra ally gave the Human Race more hope, not to mention that this ally was their Human King.
"Have you been to the Ju Mang Relics?" Luo Shanyou continued to look at the little Erha.
"No, this little guy’s origins are quite complex, it can’t be explained in detail. I’ve only been to the Rushou Relics."
Xiang Beifei paused for a moment before informing Luo Shanyou about Daoist Weihuo.
"Sorry, I didn’t expect him to do that for me." Xiang Beifei said.
Upon hearing of Daoist Weihuo’s death, Luo Shanyou’s expression turned wistful.
But soon, he forced himself to suppress his grief, speaking resolutely, "Weihuo Tiger’s death was not in vain, he protected you! That was his purpose in life!"
"His purpose in life shouldn’t have been to die for me." Xiang Beifei said in a deep voice.
"He had to, even I must do the same! At any time, we are prepared to sacrifice ourselves for you, even if you were to order me to burn my soul to die now, I would execute the order without hesitation." Luo Shanyou said calmly.
Xiang Beifei observed Luo Shanyou’s soul, discovering an imprint hidden on it, exactly like that of Daoist Weihuo!
"You’re also one of the Stellar Death Warriors that Daoist Weihuo spoke of?" Xiang Beifei exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, he was called Weihuo Tiger, associated with the Tail Constellation, his real name was Zhu Zhao. I am Dipper Wood Haetae, with my soul sealed with the power of the Dou Constellation."
Luo Shanyou’s body trembled slightly, a blue light enveloped his entire body, and the array pattern engraved on his soul lit up, a powerful blue beast’s shadow roared out, swirling behind him.
This was a majestic divine beast, with bright and spirited eyes, a single horn on its forehead, and thick fur all over its body, which surprisingly looked a bit like a Wooden Kirin.
"Huh? How come this thing looks like me?" Erha said wide-eyed.
"Idiot, this is a Haetae, they’ve already said, Dipper Wood Haetae." Xiaohei flew over from afar, shrinking down and landing on Xiang Beifei, saying.
"Speaking of which, you also came from the Dou Constellation, you’re probably not a Kirin, you’re a Haetae, right?" Xiaohei examined Erha, tugging at its tail and fiddling with its horn.
"Nonsense! I just look a tad more handsome." Erha grumbled.
Xiaohei rolled his eyes, soon resting his chin on his hand in puzzlement, saying, "Xiaofei, I feel the purpose of these Stellar Generals doesn’t seem simple—I have a strange feeling, don’t you sense it too?"
Xiang Beifei gazed at the Haetae, then nodded slightly.
"What kind of feeling? How come I didn’t perceive anything?" Erha asked naively.
Xiaohei said, "Uncle Luo’s soul power is very peculiar. Look, he’s at the mid-stage of Inquiring Dao cultivation, but I feel...how do I put it, right now, the Well Constellation on the Spirit Gathering Book requires the unlocking of eight mid-stage Inquiring Dao seals, and we haven’t gathered them, right? But if we directly use Uncle Luo’s soul, it seems we can negate these eight seals altogether!"
Erha suddenly understood, "Oh, you’re saying we could kill this old man, and then we could unlock the Well Constellation? He alone can account for eight people?"
"Idiot! That’s not what I meant! My point is, their souls seem to be meant to be offered to Xiaofei! It seems connected to the twenty-eight celestial lodgings on the Spirit Gathering Book!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Didn’t he just say he’s willing to offer his soul to Xiaofei!" Erha said nonchalantly.
"Shut up."
Xiang Beifei glared at Erha.
In fact, Xiaohei’s perception was identical to his own. When he first saw the array pattern on Daoist Weihuo’s soul, he had this feeling, but at that time, he didn’t think much of it, because Daoist Weihuo forcibly infused all his cultivation into Xiang Beifei, boosting his strength, but he didn’t touch the Spirit Gathering Book.
But now, seeing Luo Shanyou’s soul, he gradually sensed something amiss.
In other words, whether it was Daoist Weihuo or Luo Shanyou, after they became the Human King’s death warriors, their cultivation goals were not for themselves, but to enhance their own cultivation to offer their souls at any time for Xiang Beifei’s use.
