Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapters 224-221222—Guiding Auspicious Omens? You dare to challenge me, you idiot!

The speaker was none other than the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. She stood up, staggered forward a few steps, and said through gritted teeth in her clear, melodious female voice, "Damn humans, how dare you be so unreasonable! I'll make sure you suffer a terrible death and endless bad luck!"

"It's not like I'm going to kill you, why are you getting so worked up!" Xuanzi waved his hand and beckoned to Huo Yuhao: "Yuhao, come here!"

"Yes," Huo Yuhao hurriedly walked over.

Xuanzi said, "Place your forehead against the third eye of this three-eyed golden lion. Don't worry, with me here, they can't cause any trouble."

"No! You dare!" the three-eyed golden lion roared furiously, struggling desperately. The internal injuries it had suffered earlier even caused golden-red blood to spill from the corners of its mouth.

Huo Yuhao was stunned for a moment, then said, "Elder Xuan, this..."

Elder Xuan chuckled and said, "It's recorded in an ancient classic we obtained at Shrek Academy. Where auspicious beasts reside, all beasts are protected. Their status is supreme, and humans can guide them. With auspicious protection, one's future is limitless. Hurry, before that ferocious beast changes its mind."

With Qian Lingyun's cold indifference and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's half-hearted resistance, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head was pressed to the ground. Beneath the crystal-clear fur on its back, the gray six-pointed star was emitting a faint light.

Huo Yuhao naturally believed Xuanzi's words without a doubt. He looked at the silent Qian Lingyun and subconsciously assumed that this was the noble and aloof Snow Emperor that the Ice Emperor had mentioned.

After nodding slightly apologetically to Qian Lingyun, he looked at the three eyes of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which seemed to be spitting fire, and slowly pressed his forehead against its vertical eye.

It's true that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's abilities were completely suppressed, but the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had already been guided by Qian Lingyun. The second person to be guided by the auspicious beast could not gain any benefits, only harm. This is the deepest secret of the Emperor Auspicious Beast.

The moment Huo Yuhao's forehead touched the three-eyed golden lion's vertical eye, his body trembled violently.

The faint purple symbol in the third eye of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion shone brightly. If the two had not been pressed together on their foreheads, the eerie purple light would surely have been observed by Xuanzi and the others.

After several tremors, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt an excruciating pain in his brain, as if something was burning fiercely under his skull.

Gradually, even his spiritual sea seemed to disappear.

Meanwhile, in his spiritual sea, Tenmu and Hyotei let out mournful screams at the same time.

A series of distorted halos of pale purple and rose gold enveloped Huo Yuhao's body, and with each change in the light, Huo Yuhao's body would tremble violently.

The backlash from the auspicious fortune of the Emperor Beast and the soul power pollution from the Rakshasa were perfectly displayed on Huo Yuhao at this moment!

The Rakshasa power originally contained within the Eye of Destiny of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was, under Qian Lingyun's manipulation, frantically counterattacked into Huo Yuhao's body.

It wantonly plundered the life force in Huo Yuhao's body to replenish the wounds suffered by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's injuries were healing at an astonishing speed. Huo Yuhao, however, couldn't even utter a sound and could only watch helplessly as his life force was fed back to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The distorted light grew stronger and stronger, enveloping the bodies of the man and the beast, while a strange force repelled Qian Lingyun and Xuanzi.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you'll soon pay the price for your arrogance and greed!" Qian Lingyun said with her arms crossed, coldly mocking.

"What do you mean?" Xuanzi didn't understand, and could only try to observe Huo Yuhao's state through the two different colors of light.

"Literally, that little brat you brought is in for a rough time!" Qian Lingyun sneered. "I advise you to start thinking about how you're going to get back and explain yourself!"

"Buzz—"

A dim purple light suddenly burst out from the point of contact between Huo Yuhao and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and Huo Yuhao's body was thrown back by the sound.

In mid-air, illusory purple flames ignited on Huo Yuhao's body, but Xuanzi caught him with a grab from the void.

This grab was no small matter. After putting Huo Yuhao down, Xuanzi hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and looked at the highly contagious purple flames wrapped around his arm. He quickly used his powerful soul force to suppress the strange flames.

After much effort, Xuanzi finally managed to extinguish the purple flames on himself and Huo Yuhao.

He was just a little disheveled, but Huo Yuhao lay weakly on the ground groaning, his soul power even regressing to level twenty-nine.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion seemed somewhat surprised. She glanced at the unfortunate human lying on the ground, silently cursed a few times in her heart, picked up the exhausted Qian Lingyun, and ran away, quickly disappearing into the dense forest.

On the way back to the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion chatted idly with Qian Lingyun on its back: "Don't fall asleep! It's still daytime! What kind of ability did you just have? That was so cool!"

"Alright, alright, I won't sleep, I won't sleep! That thing is using our shared Eye of Destiny as a medium, and my soul power is driving the Rakshasa power to multiply rapidly, causing a certain degree of soul power pollution!"

Qian Lingyun weakly raised her head and patiently explained to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

"I feel like what you're saying is a bit too profound, I don't understand!" The three-eyed golden lion turned its head, blinked, and asked, "Could you explain it a little simpler?"

"Hmm... okay, I'll give it a try..." Qian Lingyun quickly organized her thoughts and explained again:

"Oh, to put it simply, it means I lent you my power, adjusted your attributes to be the same as mine, and then, using your Eye of Destiny as a medium, I finally cast a curse on that guy!"

"Um... what is a curse?" the three-eyed golden lion asked, pressing for details.

"Hmm... a curse!" Qian Lingyun clicked her tongue, pondered for a moment, and explained, "This thing called a curse..."

"It's a unique and very powerful curse!"

"Oh, oh, oh! I see!" The three-eyed golden lion nodded, its three big eyes darting around, looking adorably hesitant.

After a long pause, she asked again, "You've helped me so much, how can I ever repay you?"

"With our friendship, why even mention repaying me?" Qian Lingyun rolled over on the back of the three-eyed golden lion, thought for a moment, and slowly said:

"If you really want to repay me... lend me some of the hair on your head, I need it to catalyze the growth of soul beasts!"

"Huh!? I'm so amazing, and you're asking me for this?"

"Yes!" Qian Lingyun nodded honestly.

"..." Upon hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was both angry and annoyed, and couldn't help but stop and growl at Qian Lingyun:

"I'm such an outstanding, handsome, kind, and adorable imperial beast, and you only want the fur on my head? Don't you want anything else?"

"Otherwise what?" Qian Lingyun looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's tearful eyes with a puzzled expression, and said awkwardly:

"I can't possibly ask you to come with me! I'm afraid the Supreme Ruler and Emperor Tian will come after me with their massive, hundreds-of-meters-long swords..."

Before Qian Lingyun could finish speaking, she felt as if she were flying through the clouds, then crashed to the ground with a mouthful of dirt.

The three-eyed golden lion lightly flicked Qian Lingyun's head with its tail, then stomped off angrily toward the ominous place, muttering to itself:

"Hmph! You heartless, ungrateful woman, I'm ignoring you. Get down and walk back yourself!"

Getting up, Qian Lingyun was both amused and annoyed by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's awkward expression. She couldn't help but rush over to soothe the proud and rebellious little lion: "Oh no, don't be angry! I'll go with you to find the Lord and ask her to let you go out and play with me, okay!?"

"Really?" The three-eyed golden lion raised its head and stopped to ask, "You're not lying to me?"

"I'm not kidding, you little pig!"

"Hehehe, that's more like it! I knew you were the best!"

Having received an accurate answer, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion turned its anger into joy, affectionately using its large head to knock Qian Lingyun to the ground, and then sticking out its pink tongue to wash Qian Lingyun's face!

"Hahaha, it itches so much! Hahaha, you're so mean!"

Just as Qian Lingyun wiped the auspicious beast-brand natural face mask off her face, the imperial auspicious beast filled the gap again. Before long, Qian Lingyun felt that her whole body was wet and sticky with drool...

When the golden lion cub got tired of playing, Qian Lingyun carefully activated the ultimate ice soul power on her body, freezing the slime into ice blocks and then shaking them off one by one.

"Huh! Auspicious beasts? What are you all doing here...?"

A crimson meteor streaked across the sky and returned, revealing the Crimson King. In the large mouth on the left side of his head was a small, trembling, pure white soul beast—a Snow Spirit Sable over 12,000 years old.

The other two heads were looking at Qian Lingyun and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, respectively.

Seeing that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's previous injuries had been completely healed, the Crimson King's gaze towards Qian Lingyun softened somewhat compared to before.

"Oh my, you caught some suitable ones so quickly? Go and take them over! They might not need them right now, but... we're very reasonable!" Qian Lingyun said mischievously, pointing in the direction she had come from.

"Oh, and before we get back, we absolutely have to mock those fools who tried to steal a chicken but ended up losing everything! Hahahaha!"

"I understand," the Crimson King nodded the largest head in the center and disappeared again in front of Qian Lingyun.

"Hahaha, come back to the ominous place with me in a little while, don't be scared! There's a big surprise there!" The three-eyed golden lion rolled out a large clearing on the grass and whispered mysteriously into Qian Lingyun's ear.

"Surprise? What surprise?" Qian Lingyun asked, puzzled.

"Don't worry about it, you'll find out when you get there!" the three-eyed golden lion said mysteriously.

As evening fell, Qian Lingyun rode her majestic imperial beast into the ominous land with great fanfare. Countless pairs of eyes, some surprised and some puzzled, cast their subtle glances from every corner of the forest, which secretly pleased Qian Lingyun!

See? The imperial beasts you usually fawn over are actually quite obedient to me!

"arrive."

The three-eyed golden lions stopped in their tracks. Directly in front of them lay the Lake of Life, the core of the entire ominous land and even the Star Dou Great Forest.

Following the gaze of the three-eyed golden lion, in the very center of the Lake of Life, lay two enormous bodies, one blue and one red.

Judging from their aura, which is exactly the same as that of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, these two are undoubtedly the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.

Guided by some unique force, a vast amount of life force continuously surged into the bodies of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King.

Brigitte also helped by casting healing spells to heal the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King.

With the combined healing efforts of Brigitte and the Emerald Swan Clan, the injuries on the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King are slowly but surely healing.

Sensing the unfamiliar presence, they all poked their heads out of the lake and stared at Qian Lingyun with their enormous dragon eyes.

Holy crap!

Qian Lingyun couldn't help but swear, instinctively shrinking behind the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. "What's going on?! How long has it been?! You've already brought these two back to life! Your Star Dou team's efficiency is ridiculously high!"

"Of course! Our Lord has nearly exhausted the resources of our Star Dou Great Forest accumulated over tens of thousands of years to help Lord Ice and Lord Fire regain their lives!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion proudly flicked its tail, stood up almost upright, and excitedly shouted to the Ice and Fire Dragon King:

"Lord Bing, Lord Huo, let me introduce you. She's the one who found you and brought Di Tian to rescue you."

"!"

"?"

Upon hearing the introduction of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Ice and Fire Dragon King's expression softened slightly, and a hint of reminiscence flickered in his enormous dragon eyes.

The Fire Dragon King, realizing that his life might truly be coming to an end, couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.

After all, they were not ordinary creatures; they were the nine Dragon Kings created by the Dragon God himself.

However, after its fall, the dragon's soul and bones were buried in a dark corner, and if no one had discovered them, they would have disappeared completely over the endless years.

Finally, the Ice Dragon King broke the long silence and spoke.

"Our dragon clan always repays both kindness and vengeance. Although we don't know what reward Di Tian and the Lord gave you, as the direct beneficiaries of your good deeds, Xiao Huo and I naturally accept your gratitude."

"Speak! What do you want? Just say it. If it's something I can decide, you can take it!" The Fire Dragon King finished his reminiscence and added casually.

Wow, a favor from the two Dragon Kings, I'm rich!

Three-Eyed Golden Lion, you are truly my precious darling!

After speaking, a palm-sized scale flew down from the two dragon kings' enormous bodies and slowly flew to Qian Lingyun's front.

Qian Lingyun glanced eagerly at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, then looked somewhat restrained at the Ice and Fire Dragon King. She rubbed her hands anxiously, pondered for a moment, and slowly said:

"I don't need anything right now, so how about I owe you this favor for now, and come back to ask for it back when I think of something?"

"It's not impossible!" The Ice Dragon King chuckled twice, exchanged a glance with the Fire Dragon King, and slowly nodded.

The Ice Dragon King's scale is rhomboid in shape, with sharp edges and corners, giving it a gem-like beauty.

The Fire Dragon King's scale was teardrop-shaped, smooth and round, like a piece of beautiful red jade.

However, please don't misunderstand. These two dragon scales are not high-end items like reverse scales. They are just the most ordinary scales on the two dragon kings. Their only function is simple communication, and at most, they can scare ordinary soul beasts.

Watching the two honest dragons, who always repay kindness, sink back into the lake, Qian Lingyun couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
