Chapter 45 Niu Tian and Titan
At this moment, however, the scene inside the Haotian Sect was completely different.
Sect Master Niu Tian and Vice Sect Master Titan sat facing each other, the atmosphere in the hall so heavy it seemed as if water could drip from it.
The two men had somber expressions, their brows shrouded in an unyielding gloom.
Niu Tian, in his previous life, was the Azure Bull Python with a cultivation of 100,000 years—Da Ming.
Titan is his brother, Erming, a Titan giant ape with 100,000 years of cultivation.
Ten thousand years ago, in order to help Tang San, the husband of Xiao Wu's older sister, overcome a difficult situation, they resolutely chose to sacrifice themselves.
At the same time, he harbored hatred for the beast gods and other beasts who refused to come to his aid.
After Tang San became a god, he used his great power to revive the two of them. However, this "gratitude" also became an invisible shackle. From then on, they became the servants of the Asura God Tang San, and their lives were in Tang San's hands.
The souls of the two beasts were preserved because they were entrusted to the soul rings and soul bones, unlike the Deep Sea Demon Whale King whose body and soul were destroyed, and also unlike Arou who had already been reincarnated and whose whereabouts were unknown.
When Xiao Wu was reborn in the God Realm, she was overwhelmed with emotion upon seeing her two sworn brothers whom she had lost and found again. She rushed forward and gave them a deep hug.
However, the two beasts were still immersed in the joy of reuniting with their loved ones and did not notice the fleeting gloom on Tang San's face.
Soon after, they were assigned to Douluo Continent and took up residence in the Haotian Sect, which had been worshipping the God of Asura since Tang San's ascension, becoming the sect leader Niu Tian and the deputy sect leader Titan.
Only then did they fully understand the reason why they could not stay in the God Realm for long. From the moment of their resurrection, they were no longer free soul beasts, but "subordinates" who had to obey them absolutely. Tang San became the "master" they had to serve.
Xiao Wu was kept completely in the dark about all of this.
Later, Tang San sent his daughter, Tang Wutong, to the Haotian Sect, where she was given the alias Wang Dong'er and entrusted to Niu Tian and Titan for care.
The two soul beasts, who were "fathers" for the first time, knew nothing about raising children. They could only turn all their affection for their older sister, Xiao Wu, into unconditional doting on Wang Dong'er.
At this moment, a new divine decree arrived. Tang San ordered them that now that Huo Yutong and her group had entered the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt souls, they must find a way to "invite" them back to the Clear Sky Sect.
Niu Tian and Titan exchanged a glance, and a ruthless plan was already taking shape in their hearts.
They planned to personally travel to the Star Dou Great Forest to find Huo Yutong's whereabouts, and then secretly lure a soul beast with 100,000 years of cultivation to create a deadly crisis.
After the two Soul Saints accompanying Huo Yutong fought and died to protect her, they made a bold appearance as saviors to eliminate the threat.
In this way, Huo Yutong would not only not suspect anything, but would also be extremely grateful for their "life-saving grace".
At that time, she will be taken back to the Haotian Sect under the guise of "taking care" of her, but in reality, she will be placed under house arrest. If the existence of Electrolux is discovered, Electrolux will be "accidentally" killed, which will pave the way for Huo Yutong to eventually return to Shrek Academy, reunite with Wang Dong (er) who is disguised as a man, and develop a deeper bond with him.
When Tang San discovered that Huo Yutong had merged with Tianmeng, he was certain that Huo Yutong was the chosen one of this generation. He sent Niu Tian and Titan to Xingdou to ensure that Bei Bei and Tang Ya would find Huo Yutong. However, when Niu Tian and Titan arrived, Huo Yutong had already disappeared, and Bei Bei and Tang Ya had finished hunting souls and returned home.
At that time, Tang San's vision was briefly obscured by the consciousness of the Douluo plane, and he did not know who had abducted Huo Yutong.
……
On the outskirts of the Starry Sky Forest, ancient trees reach for the sky, vines entwine, and a primitive and damp atmosphere pervades the area.
Niu Tian and Titan have been leading a group of Haotian Sect disciples here for several days, but they have not found even a trace of Huo Yutong and her group.
Because they are soul beasts reborn as humans, they retain the ability to communicate with other soul beasts.
Over the course of several days, they also inquired with the spirit beasts in the forest, but the feedback they received was all in vain.
The Star Dou Great Forest is simply too vast; even the outer area is boundless. It's not impossible that the other party could have completed their Soul Hunt and returned to Shrek Academy within a few days.
The disciples were divided into several small teams and searched the outer area repeatedly like combs. Although they encountered many other soul master teams, news about Huo Yutong disappeared without a trace.
"Brother, continuing like this is like searching for a needle in a haystack, a waste of energy." Titan's brows already showed some anxiety.
After a moment's thought, Niu Tian decided, "Second brother, pass down the order: all disciples should move toward the lair of the Purple Gold Wolf Clan."
Spirit-type spirit beasts are rare, and their lairs are even harder to find. If Huo Yutong needs this kind of spirit ring, she certainly won't miss this place. Let's go there and wait for her to come to us!
If the other side failed to find the Purple Gold Wolf, then it can only be considered that they were unlucky.
With the plan settled, Niu Tian and Titan led a team of elite disciples and quietly ventured deeper into the forest.
However, they were unaware that from the moment they stepped into this area, they had fallen into an invisible net.
As they ventured deeper, strange, eerie eyes quietly emerged from the seemingly ordinary tree trunks around them, coldly watching the uninvited guests.
Di Tian has entrusted the responsibility of monitoring the Star Dou Great Forest entirely to the Demon King, thus lifting his restrictions.
With his powerful mental strength, the Demon King has established a mental connection with the vast majority of plant-type soul beasts in the forest.
At this moment, every blade of grass and every tree in the entire Star Dou Great Forest mixed zone has become his extended "eyes," seeing and observing everything.
This massive project also made the Demon King's cultivation more and more profound, firmly securing his position as the king of plant-type soul beasts.
The Demon King's spiritual core calmly processed the information flowing from all directions, and the powerful aura of Niu Tian's group of humans naturally attracted its attention. It immediately reported to Di Tian.
"The sect leader and deputy sect leader of Haotian Sect have led a team deep into the heart of the territory. Their intentions are unclear, but they seem to be searching for someone."
Di Tian's response was concise and cold: "Since they are enemies, there is no need to show mercy. Send Xiong Jun and Chi Wang to cripple them. You are responsible for providing support and preventing the rest from escaping." He had to guard Di Qiu to prevent other powerful figures from entering the core area.
"I obey."
While Xiong Jun and Chi Wang were listening to Di Tian explain mathematics and were feeling dizzy, they were immediately invigorated after receiving the order to kill.
For them, bloody battles are far more appealing than obscure statistics.
Two terrifying figures, radiating ferocity, pounced like lightning towards the direction where Niu Tian and the others were.
At the same time, the Demon King began to quietly make his plans. He manipulated the underground roots and surrounding vegetation, moving and guiding them with extremely subtle movements.
Niu Tian and the others only felt that the path in the forest seemed to naturally extend in a certain direction, without realizing that they were being led by an invisible force to a relatively open space that had been pre-planned.
Niu Tian's heart skipped a beat. "Something's wrong!" He abruptly raised his hand, stopping the group from moving forward. "It's too quiet. Even the chirping of insects and birds has disappeared."
Upon hearing this, Titan's muscles tensed instantly, his martial spirit already possessing him, as he warily surveyed his surroundings.
The disciples of Haotian Sect quickly formed a defensive formation, standing back to back.
