"Evil Emperor, you really are ruthless."
Skydream recalled the earlier scene and sighed with emotion.
He was not talking about the scene where Evil Emperor beat the Evil Eye Tyrant. Although that scene was brutal, it was also their way as father and son to express affection.
The scene he was referring to was the matter where Evil Emperor had Huo Yuhao leave a countermeasure on the Evil Eye Tyrant.
He really could bring himself to do it.
"Hmph, so what? Given its personality, if not restrained, it would definitely be capricious." Evil Emperor snorted coldly. "This is to prevent it from betraying us."
Precisely because he knew his own personality, Evil Emperor had made this choice.
In this regard, his son was no different from him.
If there was another choice, he would definitely betray them. Blood ties? Family affection? Those were just relationships from ten thousand years ago.
In their hearts, they might not truly care.
While the Sea of Spirit was bustling with discussion about Filial Piety Between Father and Son, Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena had already arrived at a remote place. The two exchanged a glance, and Huo Yuhao opened the passage to his Undead Half Plane.
In an instant, dozens of various spirit beasts, led by Snow Empress and Bear Lord respectively, walked out of the Undead Half Plane.
As soon as they stepped out of that ghostly place where they had been for two months, these spirit beasts could not help wanting to roar at the sky.
But a single glance from Snow Empress stopped the Extreme North spirit beasts from acting on that impulse.
During her hundreds of thousands of years of rule over the Extreme North, Snow Empress had earned the awe and respect of the Extreme North spirit beasts through her great strength and wisdom. Even the other savage beasts held her in great awe and obeyed her commands.
As for the disobedient savage beasts, they had already been buried beneath the ice and snow.
Gu Yuena was not envious of this scene.
After all, the hundred thousand year spirit beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, seeing her warning glance, also stopped their actions.
Today, as always, her authority was fully intact.
Huo Yuhao came to Snow Empress's side. "Tired of being inside?"
"It was just a period of quiet cultivation. The scenery of the Extreme North in the past was also very monotonous, not much better than the Undead Half Plane. Let us begin now."
Snow Empress smiled slightly, looking at the lush forest around them, and began using spatial power to touch the spatial barrier here.
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao said no more and joined her in searching for weak points in the space.
While they were doing this, those hundred thousand year spirit beasts were observing Huo Yuhao, especially the spirit beasts from the Extreme North. Their eyes were full of memories.
"His Majesty Spirit Ice has truly returned. I still remember when he was being chased during training. Recalling it now still feels like yesterday."
The speaker was a hundred thousand year Ice Jade Scorpion.
The spirit beasts arranged here were all trusted by Snow Empress. Additionally, some spirit beasts had seen Huo Yuhao ten thousand years ago, so they also knew of his existence.
"Yes, ten thousand years ago, when Snow Empress first decided to help him, who could have imagined this outcome?"
An Ice Bear sighed with emotion. "Lady Snow Empress is truly wise and mighty. If it were us, we would never have been able to seize such an opportunity."
At this point, it changed its tone and whispered gossip. "Ever since His Majesty Spirit Ice returned, Lady Snow Empress has smiled much more. What do you think their relationship is now?"
In the past, Huo Yuhao, in their eyes, was Snow Empress's younger brother. In the Extreme North, he even had the nickname "Ice and Snow Man." (This nickname had been abandoned due to Huo Yuhao's strong objections, but the original Rumor Spreader had still not been found.)
Now, the way Huo Yuhao and Snow Empress interacted seemed to have added some other atmosphere to these spirit beasts. They were all high intelligence spirit beasts who had integrated into human society for ten thousand years. They could still see such things.
Was this... Promising?
The Ice Jade Scorpion cleared its throat lightly and sent a telepathic message. "Do you have a death wish? Talk about these things in private. Do not discuss them in this setting. The people from the Star Dou Great Forest are still here, and that common master of spirit beasts is also watching."
The matter between Snow Empress, Spirit Ice Douluo, and the Silver Dragon King was something they could gossip about?
If you want to court death, do not drag me along, Silly Bear.
Thinking this, the Ice Jade Scorpion's gaze could not help but fall on Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena, and Snow Empress. Its thoughts were numerous.
If the relationship between these three bosses fell into the eyes of gossip loving humans, it would probably give rise to many exaggerated rumors.
For example, Spirit Ice Douluo, in order to reach a cooperation with the two great spirit beast gathering places of the Extreme North and the Star Dou Great Forest, had Put Himself into the Situation, maneuvering between the two spirit beast rulers, gaining the support of the two great spirit beast gathering places through Self Sacrifice.
It felt like rare material for writing Storybooks. Who knew if anyone would dare to write it.
The Ice Jade Scorpion had even thought up corresponding book titles: The Dominant Spirit Beast Fell in Love with Me, My Life as a Live in Son in Law in the Extreme North, Is It Wrong to Simultaneously Capture the Hearts of the Silver Dragon King and Snow Empress?
What could it do? After integrating into human society, this was just one of its few hobbies.
Late night slot videos and various Informal Storybooks were its favorites.
It was a very normal hobby, was it not? At least it was much more interesting than chasing iceworms.
Ice Empress in the Sea of Spirit felt that someone was murmuring about her behind her back.
"The location of the spatial barrier has been determined. Attack together."
With Huo Yuhao's command, the heaven and earth origin energy suddenly became furious. Snow Empress lightly raised her jade hand. An ice blue light pillar spanning heaven and earth shot straight into the sky. Gu Yuena's silver hair flew. Seven colored elements burned spiderweb like spatial cracks in the void.
At the moment when dozens of forces converged, the sky shattered like a mirror. A secret realm entrance, radiating Dragon Might, faintly appeared in the crack. Piles of dragon bones could vaguely be seen piled up inside.
Looking at the spatial passage before him, Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered. He was the first to step toward the spatial passage.
"Let us go."
The group followed him in a mighty procession into the Dragon Valley secret realm.
Deep within Dragon Valley, a sudden change broke the original tranquility.
Accompanied by a low humming sound, the originally calm air suddenly fluctuated violently. The clouds also churned without end. In an instant, an area of tens of thousands of square meters fell into strong resonance.
In the sky, clouds of various colors were forcibly dispersed by an invisible force. A deep, dark crack quietly appeared.
This crack seemed as if it would tear the entire sky apart, slowly extending and growing longer, bringing a suffocating sense of oppression.
One by one, figures descended from the sky through the crack, landing on the ground.
"This is Dragon Valley, the dragon tribe burial ground."
Huo Yuhao looked at the secret realm before him. A nameless stirring suddenly arose in his Sea of Spirit.
It was the Water and Fire Dragon King spirit souls.
Their location looked like a rolling hills. Sparse vegetation grew around, but it was not lush. The most eye catching things were the clouds of various colors in the sky and the dragon souls and dragon bones on the ground.
Clearly, it was these things that had caused the Water and Fire Dragon Kings to stir.
