Even after so many years, Yan Jin still vividly remembered the power of the Red Lotus Serpent. It was the first time she had truly felt fear from the depths of her soul.
That terrifying giant serpent emerged from the depths of the volcano, bathed in lava, and coiled around the crater, overlooking the world, was so powerful that it seemed unlike any creature in this world.
Even now, at her current level, with some confidence to confront a Super Douluo, and having witnessed ferocious beasts like the Myriad Demon King, Bear Monarch, and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possessed by Amon, she couldn't help but feel a hint of hesitation alongside her excitement when she thought of that Red Lotus Serpent.
"Red Lotus Serpent... How many years has it been a Soul Beast?" Yan Jin couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not sure either. After all, I was still very weak when I saw it back then. Relying solely on memory, it's hard to accurately estimate its level... But roughly estimating, it should be no less than 700,000 years, but probably not more than a million years... That's a being on another level. Under normal circumstances, this world wouldn't give birth to such a Soul Beast."
Listening to Amon's explanation, Yan Jin subconsciously touched her head. The weight of this skull was heavier than she had imagined!
Even Amon, who didn't treat the Soul Rings and Soul Bones of ferocious beasts as treasures, had a more solemn tone when mentioning million-year Soul Beasts.
"Can we kill it?" Yan Jin also became a little more worried.
"Don't worry, it's no problem." Amon raised his hand and grabbed her shoulder, their figures beginning to become illusory, disappearing from the spot.
Ironheart City, the City Lord's Mansion.
Bi Da'er was lying comfortably on the sofa, enjoying the service of a maid, with a glass of red wine in his hand.
His excellent performance in the Soul Master Competition had made his status as heir unshakeable. Today, he was already a Soul King powerhouse.
In Ironheart City, the only ones stronger than him were his Soul Emperor father and the Palace Master of the Spirit Hall sub-temple.
Recently, the relationship between the City Lord's Mansion and the Spirit Hall had become even more tense. Since Emperor Xue Beng ascended the throne, rumors had suddenly spread that he wanted to abolish the Spirit Hall, which had made the two sides become increasingly confrontational.
However, Bi Da'er wasn't too worried, because the Spirit Hall was no longer as strong as it used to be. Since the beast tide broke out and Spirit City was besieged, the Spirit Halls in various places had also been greatly affected, and their power had shrunk significantly.
Bi Da'er's father, Earl Ironheart, took this opportunity to greatly expand the power of the City Lord's Mansion, firmly controlling the entire Ironheart City in his hands.
"Use a little more strength." Bi Da'er squinted his eyes.
"Yes, Young Master." The maid replied respectfully, increasing the strength in her hands.
"Young Master Bi Da'er, Marquis Ilya has sent an invitation, inviting you to attend the party she is hosting." The butler walked in from outside the door and placed an invitation on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
"Hmph... What does that woman want to do again? Her actions, big and small, haven't stopped all these years." Bi Da'er drank the red wine in his hand and put down the glass.
"It seems you're doing quite well..." A melodious female voice sounded, instantly alerting Bi Da'er.
"Who!" Bi Da'er immediately got up and looked in the direction of the voice.
He saw a woman with fiery red hair, dark red eyes, wearing a red outfit, and a heroic face, flipping in from the window.
"You are... Yan Jin?"
When they separated at the Soul Master Competition, Yan Jin was at the stage of growth. Five years had brought great changes to her, so Bi Da'er looked at her for a while before saying somewhat uncertainly.
"Hehe, it's me, long time no see." Yan Jin greeted enthusiastically.
"Go and bring some juice and milk." Bi Da'er said to the maid who had just been massaging his shoulders.
"Yes, Young Master." The maid left the reception hall.
Looking at the beautiful and moving woman in front of him, Bi Da'er sighed: "Time flies so fast, my impression of you still remains when we parted."
"You've matured a lot too." Yan Jin sat naturally on the sofa opposite Bi Da'er and opened her mouth with a smile.
"What brings you here to find me?" Bi Da'er asked, "Where are Lei Yin and Romier? Didn't the captain come?"
"Them... Lei Yin doesn't know what he's doing, I haven't seen Romier for a long time either, Amon should know where he is... As for Amon, he's everywhere..."
"It's nothing, Amon brought me to hunt Soul Beasts, and it happened to be on the way, so I came to see you."
Yan Jin picked up the milk brought by the maid, and her soul power circulated in her hand, slightly chilling it before drinking it with an expression of enjoyment.
"I've been gnawing on dry food these days, my mouth is almost tasteless." She muttered.
"Hunting Soul Beasts, do you need my help? I'm almost a Soul Emperor now. Besides, I can mobilize a lot of manpower and material resources now, at least I can still have a say in this Ironheart Territory." Bi Da'er said very enthusiastically.
"Help... That won't be necessary, Amon will arrange everything. You should arrange a feast for me..." Yan Jin responded.
"Okay." Bi Da'er agreed readily. He glanced at the maid beside him, and the maid understood and walked out.
"Is the captain coming too?"
"Of course, if he doesn't come, I can't deal with that snake." Yan Jin picked up another glass of juice.
"It seems you've already chosen your target... Is it in the Ironheart Mountains? I may not be of much help in terms of combat, but if you need to determine its location, I can gather people to help find it... Can you tell me specifically what kind of snake it is? Maybe I have relevant information here." Bi Da'er had a smile on his face.
Although she didn't have high expectations, Yan Jin thought for a while and still said, "Do you remember the big snake we encountered when we first entered the Ironheart Mountains to hunt for Soul Rings and finally retreated?"
"Eyeless Snake? A high-year Eyeless Snake is a very dangerous thing." Bi Da'er was deeply impressed by the Eyeless Snake that almost killed them all back then.
"No, no, no, not that one. It's the one that came out of the volcano at the end, that red, super big one." Yan Jin opened his arms, gesturing.
Bi Da'er's expression froze, and he bared his teeth. In the past, when he didn't know about the existence of ferocious beasts, he thought it was just a hundred-thousand-year soul beast that was a bit larger.
Since the Star Dou Great Forest had changed, the beast tide broke out, and the ferocious beasts besieged Spirit Hall City, he realized that the Crimson Lotus Serpent was definitely not just a simple hundred-thousand-year soul beast, but an even more terrifying existence.
He asked in disbelief, "You want to hunt the Crimson Lotus Serpent? Can you absorb it?"
Then, he suddenly realized that he couldn't judge Yan Jin by common sense, and asked in a deep voice, "What level are you at?"
He had some vague guesses in his heart, but he also felt it was unbelievable... To absorb a soul ring of that age, you would have to be at least level 90, right? But how old is Yan Jin? A Titled Douluo in his twenties?
"Me... I'm level 80, although it was basically Amon who helped me level up... Also, Lei Yin is already level 86. Hehe..." Yan Jin said somewhat triumphantly.
Although it wasn't as outrageous as he initially imagined, a Soul Douluo in his twenties was already outrageous enough... Wait, going to absorb such a soul ring at the Soul Douluo level seems no different from a Titled Douluo!
Bi Da'er took a deep breath, trying to calm the excitement in his heart. He was still a little complacent about becoming a Soul Emperor, but Yan Jin instantly shattered that complacency to smithereens.
"You guys... you guys are really... perverted." After a long time, Bi Da'er slowly uttered such an adjective.
He suddenly thought of the recently famous "Thunderclap Douluo." Judging from the rumors, it seemed to fit Lei Yin quite well, and couldn't help but ask:
"That 'Thunderclap Douluo' who shone brightly on the battlefield, could it be Lei Yin?"
Although Yan Jin said that Lei Yin was level 86, a Soul Douluo rather than a Titled Douluo, the combat power of these siblings has always been amazing. It wouldn't be too surprising to have such a title in advance, killing a Titled Douluo at the Soul Douluo level.
"Yeah... it's him. There was a time before when I couldn't beat him, but it's hard to say now. Once I get the Crimson Lotus Serpent's soul ring, I'll definitely be better." Yan Jin said affirmatively.
Bi Da'er silently picked up a glass of juice, digesting the information in his heart.
A illusory figure appeared in the hall, and the outline outlined by simple lines quickly became clear, condensing into a solid body.
Bi Da'er was startled by the way the visitor appeared. Although there were all kinds of soul skills, and theoretically anything could happen, it was the first time he had seen such a strange and somewhat frightening method.
Black classical robe, pointed soft hat, monocle... A series of iconic things made Bi Da'er recognize at a glance that this was the captain he hadn't seen for many years.
"Captain!" He shouted with a hint of surprise.
"Yeah, Bi Da'er..." Amon nodded, he looked around at the surrounding environment.
He was directly transmitted here based on Yan Jin's location by deceiving the rules. At first, he didn't know that he would come to Bi Da'er's house.
"It's good to stop and rest occasionally, meet old friends, and enjoy life." Amon looked at Yan Jin and said with a smile.
"Did you find it?" Yan Jin asked.
Amon shook his head: "Not yet... I already have some clues, found some traces, and it won't take too long to find them by following these traces. It has been quite tiring to run around during this time. Taking this opportunity, we can rest here for a day."
Yan Jin nodded: "Okay."
At this moment, a man in a blue gold-trimmed windbreaker with a soldier-like fortitude on his face walked in.
The moment he saw Amon, his pupils shrank, and he recognized him by his iconic features:
"Bi Da'er, this is an wanted criminal of the empire, don't you know? His Majesty Xue Beng personally ordered that it must be reported once discovered... Are you trying to implicate our entire family by colluding with him?"
"Grelat, this is my friend, my former comrade-in-arms. As long as I'm here, they will always be honored guests of Tieshin Territory. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can report it to Father." Bi Da'er responded lightly.
"I will." Grelat's expression remained unchanged, he nodded slightly coldly, crossed the hall, and walked to the second floor.
"Sorry... this is my half-brother, and also a former competitor. I'm sorry to have made you laugh." Bi Da'er said with a hint of apology.
Yan Jin said with a smile: "Do you want me to beat him up?"
She really wanted to find a target to try out her new abilities.
"Although he is a competitor, Grelat's style has always been good, much better than the other guys who only know how to disgust people behind their backs... If I lose to him in the competition, I won't have too many complaints." Bi Da'er refused Yan Jin's suggestion.
"I see..." Yan Jin shrugged, a little regretful.
Amon straightened his monocle, as if thinking of something, and suddenly said:
"Bi Da'er, help me find some people to look for a soul beast. Hmm... an Ice Silkworm with a crystal clear body and nine golden patterns on its body. The characteristics are obvious, you can recognize it at a glance."
