Chapter 253 Oh no, Lingbing's chapter is here!
Zang Xin was naturally more aware than anyone of the agreement between the Tang Clan and these ferocious beasts.
He knew, of course, that bringing six people today was breaking the rules.
Zang Xin agreed to Shrek Academy's request not only because the boy named Huo Yuhao was the bloodline successor of the Spirit Ice Douluo from ten thousand years ago.
The deeper reason was that he noticed the abnormality of the ferocious beasts in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
So his visit this time was also a "long-planned" test; he wanted to find out what exactly had happened here.
Despite the hostile stares from the six ferocious beasts, Zang Xin seemed oblivious, maintaining his gentle and refined smile.
He waved his hand and said casually, "Gentlemen, don't get so worked up."
"Although I brought six people with me, whether they can take away the immortal herb depends on whether they can gain the herb's approval."
After he finished speaking, the lakeside fell silent for a moment.
The ferocious beasts exchanged glances, and their expressions did indeed soften somewhat.
It sounds like the Tang Clan is thinking of them.
But it was precisely this "thoughtfulness" that made the six ferocious beasts even more wary.
They didn't believe that the deputy hall master of the Tang Sect would actually hand over the decision-making power to them after making a special trip.
Sure enough, Zang Xin turned slightly to the side and waved behind him: "Yuhao, come here for a second."
Huo Yuhao was slightly taken aback. He stepped forward and walked to Zang Xin's side.
Zang Xin raised his hand and gently placed it on Huo Yuhao's shoulder. Then he turned his face and looked at the six ferocious beasts, saying, "Gentlemen, I've brought an acquaintance of yours with me this time."
Upon hearing this, the gazes of the six ferocious beasts instantly fell upon Huo Yuhao.
According to the agreement between the Tang Clan and the ferocious beasts of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, they can only see humans coming about once every hundred years.
The boy in front of them looked to be no more than a teenager. No matter how they calculated it, they couldn't possibly have seen this face before at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
But just as the six gazes shifted from Zang Xin and focused on Huo Yuhao's face, an inexplicable sense of unease gripped them.
The expressions of the several ferocious beasts changed almost simultaneously; it was as if they had indeed seen this boy before.
Just as everyone was still caught up in their own doubts, a sharp cry of surprise suddenly rang out from behind the man in purple.
"It's him...it's him! He's back!"
All eyes turned to the direction of the voice, which came from the woman in red standing to the left of the man in purple.
She wore a long, fiery red dress, her face was stunning, and she exuded a scorching aura, clearly indicating that her true form was a celestial plant related to the fire attribute.
But at this moment, there was no trace of the composure and majesty that a ferocious beast should have on that beautiful face.
Her eyes were wide open, but her pupils had shrunk to tiny dots. Her lips trembled slightly, and her outstretched index finger pointed straight at Huo Yuhao, the fingertip like a withered leaf shivering in the autumn wind.
"It's him," her voice was several decibels higher and sharper than before, tinged with barely concealed fear, "It's Ling Bing! It's Huo Yuhao!"
These words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in the air by the lake.
The six ferocious beasts instantly pulled back a distance in the blink of an eye, their expressions changing drastically.
Zang Xin stood still, his expression as calm as ever, and thought to himself, "Just as I thought."
These ferocious beasts had seen Lingbing Douluo ten thousand years ago. Although Huo Yuhao was only fourteen years old at the moment, his appearance was already extremely similar to Lingbing Douluo's adult appearance ten thousand years ago, so it was normal for these ferocious beasts to recognize him.
However, Huo Yuhao, standing next to Zang Xin, frowned slightly.
He clearly saw the flicker of fear in the eyes of those ferocious beasts, and he couldn't help but think to himself, "Am I really that scary?"
He's just a Soul Emperor right now!
Huo Yuhao had studied his own history and knew that he had been here in the historical timeline and should have had some interaction with these ferocious beasts.
But judging from the beasts' reactions at this moment, their past experiences may not have been "friendly".
When later generations write biographies of their ancestors, they inevitably use some "fair writing techniques" in order to maintain the image of their ancestors.
Those minor, less-than-honorable incidents that might damage one's image would be glossed over or simply omitted.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao could not possibly know that ten thousand years ago, the Spirit Ice Douluo almost looted all the immortal herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!
The purple-clad man at the head of the group, worthy of being the "leader" of the many ferocious beasts, was the first to calm down.
"He can't be Ling Bing." The purple-robed man's voice was steady and powerful. "Ling Bing... has already become a god and ascended to the divine realm."
Upon hearing this, the panicked beasts seemed to be gently awakened from a nightmare, and one by one they calmed down.
Upon hearing this, the panicked beasts seemed to be gently awakened from a nightmare, and one by one they calmed down.
Zang Xin's lips curled up slightly as he took over the conversation at the opportune moment: "That's right, he is indeed not the Spirit Ice Douluo who has already become a god."
"His name is also Huo Yuhao, and he is the descendant of Lingbing Douluo who is still alive in the mortal world."
Upon hearing this, regardless of what the ferocious beasts thought, Tang Wulin and the others behind him also widened their eyes instantly.
They've spent all these years with Huo Yuhao, and they've never thought about it in that way.
But hearing what the Amorous Douluo said, they felt it was only natural.
Gu Yue glanced at everyone and transmitted her voice, "Keep this secret for me!"
Seeing Gu Yue's stern gaze, everyone nodded vigorously, showing that they would never reveal the secret.
Zang Xin didn't give the ferocious beasts much time to process what was happening, and continued, "I hope Yuhao can obtain a celestial herb that is over 100,000 years old..."
He was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"impossible."
The man in purple's voice was as cold and hard as ice, leaving no room for negotiation.
"According to the regulations, you cannot take away any immortal herbs that are more than ten thousand years old before the hundred-year period is over."
He paused, his thin lips pressed into a tight line.
When he spoke again, his gaze shifted from Zang Xin and landed back on Huo Yuhao's face.
"not to mention……"
The man in purple looked at Huo Yuhao, his eyes swirling with complex emotions that almost overflowed: "He is also a descendant of Ling Bing."
The Spirit Pagoda does not record what happened at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well back then, but the Tang Sect's secret records do.
Zang Xin had read those records, so he knew what good things the Spirit Ice Douluo had done on this lakeside ten thousand years ago.
He knew that his ancestor had almost completely plucked all the immortal herbs around him, and he naturally understood the resentment these ferocious beasts held towards him.
But that's precisely why he pushed Huo Yuhao to the forefront, in order to provoke these ferocious beasts.
The gentle smile on Zang Xin's face gradually disappeared. He stood by the lake, his aura no longer restrained, like a sharp blade that had finally been sheathed.
"This matter," Zang Xin's voice suddenly turned cold, "I'm not discussing it with you!"
The beasts' expressions changed again, and the purple-clad man's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes blazing with purple light, his robes fluttering even without wind.
A deep and powerful aura erupted from him, colliding silently with Zang Xin's oppressive aura in the open space between them.
"You amorous Douluo," the purple-robed man's voice suppressed his anger, emphasizing each word, "Don't go too far!"
Zang Xin stared at him, then suddenly laughed.
"Even if I went too far..." he began slowly, his tone carrying a hint of nonchalant composure, "what can you do about it?"
How could these ferocious beasts reveal their true colors if they weren't pushed to this point?
He had to find out what these ferocious beasts had been secretly plotting all these years.
As expected, the man in purple showed no fear.
He scoffed, "This is the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the Amorous Douluo. Do you think we've been completely unprepared all these years?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a rich purple light suddenly emanated from his body.
That light was not formed from soul power, but rather from the primordial energy condensed by plants and living beings absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.
The purple light flowed slowly through the air like smoke and mist, and then a strange fragrance wafted over.
It is clear yet not bland, rich yet not overpowering, as if it has extracted the essence of all the exotic flowers and plants in the valley and blended it into this fragrance.
The moment the fragrance entered their noses, everyone around felt a lightness throughout their bodies, an indescribable comfort, as if every pore had been gently cleansed by spring water.
However, at that moment... the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire behind the ferocious beast suddenly changed.
