130: Preparation before leaving

Xun Xiuyuan did not trust this Venerable Bai.

He directly unleashed a Dream of a Thousand Years on Venerable Bai's head.

Regardless of whether it would work, he decided to try it first and see just how powerful a Quasi-God Realm expert truly was.

Bai Lun immediately felt illusions arise before his eyes; he shook his head, but the illusions only multiplied.

After a long while, Venerable Bai roared, and his massive tiger mouth bit his own tongue. Under the intense pain, Bai Lun finally broke free from the disturbance of Dream of a Thousand Years.

Upon seeing this, Xun Xiuyuan's heart settled. If Dream of a Thousand Years could make this Venerable Bai struggle for so long, then Soul Pierce should inflict sufficient damage on this big tiger, not to mention he still had the God-Slaying Bead.

After confirming that he could handle the opponent, Xun Xiuyuan slowly spoke, "Peace talks? How do we talk peace?"

"Was that soul attack just now from you?" Bai Lun pushed the peace talks aside.

"Yes, why? Was it exciting?" Xun Xiuyuan said with a smile.

Originally, Bai Lun had been dismissive of humanity, finding the ancestor's suggestion of pacification a waste of time.

However, Bai Lun's thoughts had now changed. The Alien Beast Clan had no masters in the Law of the Soul, but humanity did. This young man before him, still in the Shattering Void Realm, had cast an illusion that he found difficult to break free from.

If this fellow's Law of the Soul advanced to the Quasi-God Realm, he would definitely be an excellent hand against the Ghost Clan.

The greatest enemy of the Beast Domain was the Ghost Clan. The three clans of the Great World stood in a three-way confrontation, and frequent cooperation was very common.

Although the situation in the Chaotic Realm was more complex, any form of cooperation could be discussed as long as there was profit to be made.

After much thought, Bai Lun decided to be frank.

"I have already reported to the clan ancestor about the possibility of Quasi-God Realm experts passing through the light gate. The ancestor's feedback is that as long as the human high-level officials are willing to enter the aisle battlefield to fight against your noble clan, then the Abyss will belong to humanity."

Bai Lun stated the facts truthfully.

After hearing Venerable Bai's words, Xun Xiuyuan said, "This is what you call peace talks? I don't think there's anything to talk about. We are in the Abyss; you can come over."

Bai Lun felt as if he had entered a wolf's den. The Shattering Void Realm human opposite him seemed eager to kill him. Now, he couldn't go back and couldn't escape, so he could only lower his head and say,

"I have a new idea now: the Abyss belongs to humanity, and our two clans will not invade each other. You can even enter the Beast Domain for training; none of that is a problem. There is only one condition: you!"

After speaking, Bai Lun raised a giant claw and pointed it at Xun Xiuyuan.

"Me?" Xun Xiuyuan asked, pointing at his own nose.

At this moment, a voice sounded, "Impossible, let's continue to fight!"

These were Yang Yu's words. Handing over Xun Xiuyuan in exchange for peace for humanity was an impossible thing.

Just then, the voices of Ling Jun, Xie An, and Wen Ruyu successively sounded, all conveying the same message: if it's war, then it's war; Xun Xiuyuan must not be harmed.

Bai Lun was stunned and continued, "Why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished speaking. You come back with me to the Northern Territory to meet the ancestor. Your mastery of the Law of the Soul is extremely profound. I want to cooperate with you to resist the Ghost Clan. If the Beast Domain falls, then your human clan will not be able to escape unscathed either."

Xun Xiuyuan smiled and, without a trace, unleashed Soul Pierce, though only half its power, directly into Venerable Bai's large head.

Bai Lun was completely unprepared, but even if he had been, he would have been helpless against Soul Pierce.

A roar echoed through the sky.

Like a large cat, he rolled on the ground, his two giant claws clutching his big head as he writhed.

After about a quarter of an hour, the stinging pain in Bai Lun's soul gradually subsided.

His gaze towards Xun Xiuyuan was filled with fear.

Xun Xiuyuan still wore a harmless smile: "That soul attack just now, I used five-tenths of my strength. Do you think you could withstand my full power?"

Bai Lun's fear of Xun Xiuyuan at this moment far outweighed his fear of the large formation beneath him, because the formation required energy, and as long as he could withstand it, it was uncertain who would live and who would die.

But this Shattering Void Realm human before him was different. Illusions combined with soul attacks, he estimated he would have no ability to react.

At this moment, Bai Lun was filled with regret, thinking he shouldn't have rushed over directly; it would have been better to wait for them to come.

Xun Xiuyuan also knew his own strength at this time. Against the Exotic Beast Clan, who were not very skilled in soul techniques, an early-stage Quasi-God Realm expert should not be his opponent.

"You rest in the formation for a while. I'll go back and change my clothes, then I'll go to the Beast Domain with you."

After speaking, Xun Xiuyuan directly returned to Xiuyuan City.

Bai Lun was also bewildered by Xun Xiuyuan's words. Change clothes? Is he not going to kill me anymore?

Having walked through the edge of death, Bai Lun was instantly overjoyed. He felt that this human was unpredictable and very dangerous, and he should stay away from him in the future.

Xun Xiuyuan opened the three Quasi-God Realm treasure chests in his backpack. Since he was going to the Beast Domain, the more trump cards he had, the better.

Ding dong!

Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Quasi-God Realm weapon, Greedy Wolf.

Ding dong!

Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Quasi-God Realm armor, divine might armor.

Ding dong!

Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the skill, Thousand Transformations.

Xun Xiuyuan looked at the three items unboxed from his backpack. These were all things he urgently needed; the system was very thoughtful this time.

Greedy Wolf: Quasi-God Realm treasure blade, containing the Laws of Space and Fire.

divine might armor: Quasi-God Realm armor, containing the Laws of Life and Water.

Thousand Transformations: This skill cannot be upgraded. It can change one's body shape, appearance, and aura, and can also integrate into the current environment.

After informing Xie Nanqiao and Bai Xiaoou, Xun Xiuyuan left Xiuyuan City once again.

Seeing Xun Xiuyuan's gesture, Ling Jun and the others in the formation all came out and stood beside Xun Xiuyuan.

Venerable Bai was very sensible, lying still on the ground, just waiting for Xun Xiuyuan.

Xun Xiuyuan spoke, "That big tiger was right about one thing: if the Ghost Clan defeats the Exotic Beast Clan, our human clan won't escape either. Rather than waiting here, I've decided to go and see."

Ling Jun frowned, "Can the Exotic Beast Clan be trusted?"

Xun Xiuyuan nodded and said, "I can't say whether the Exotic Beast Clan can be trusted, but in this big tiger's dream, he wants to cooperate with us. You all know my self-preservation ability; there's no danger to my life."

"Also, Grandpa Ling, Ancestor, it would be best for you to enter the Beast Domain to cultivate. The probability of breaking through to the Quasi-God Realm will be much greater, as there are fewer missing laws there."

Xun Xiuyuan thought for a moment and continued.

Finally, Xun Xiuyuan took Wen Ruyu's hand, looked into her eyes, and only said two words: "Wait for me!"

Wen Ruyu nodded, lowering her head in silence.

He took out a spatial ring and handed it to Ling Jun: "Grandpa Ling, inside are some weapons and armor I used before. You can distribute them as you see fit. The Quasi-God Realm is just the threshold; our strength is too weak."

After speaking, he turned and walked towards Venerable Bai.
