Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Following the guard guiding the way, they arrived at a reception room. The servant served tea and snacks respectfully, and then they waited.

The waiting time wasn’t long. When Wen Yu felt a cold aura approaching, a figure had already appeared in the reception room.

Standing over two meters tall, the figure seemed thin and frail, though his features were rather regular yet somewhat commonplace. Bai left Wen Yu with the first impression of a tall stranger — this appearance was far inferior to the Heavenly Dao, another Level 11 powerful expert.

The reason for recognizing the person in front as Bai was the aura he exuded, similar to the Heavenly Dao’s — a person standing there, visible to the naked eye, yet no aura fluctuation could be sensed. Even under Soul Perception, Wen Yu could only vaguely see the shadowy soul body within Bai’s body, but could not detect the true strength of the soul body.

”Master.”

Before Wen Yu and the others could speak, Bai had already bowed respectfully to greet the Demon Lord.

Seeing this, Wen Yu’s anxious heart immediately settled down.

The Demon Lord displayed an indifferent demeanor, nibbling on the snacks on the table, nodding while emitting a large wave of spiritual fluctuations to Bai.

Wen Yu couldn’t perceive the specific content yet guessed that the Demon Lord was relaying all the recent occurrences to Bai.

After the spiritual fluctuations were transmitted, Bai furrowed his brows tightly. After a while, Bai slowly nodded and looked at Wen Yu and Tang Haofei.

...

”I’m very familiar with Heavenly Dao.”

While speaking, Bai paced and walked to the center chair of the reception room, and sat down heavily.

”We two are of nearly the same age, considered to be of the same generation. All along, the Heavenly Dao of the righteous path and Bai of the demon path have been seen as the new leaders of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes.”

”My master just explained to me the situation, Heavenly Dao imprisoning my master for personal reasons. I must demand a statement from Heavenly Dao, and furthermore, I want to see how strong Heavenly Dao has become!”

”According to my master, little brother is the Son of the Heaven-reaching Immortal Emperor, the Young Master of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, correct?”

Bai first expressed his stance, then shifted his tone, directly addressing Wen Yu’s false identity.

Wen Yu hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

”Hehe...”

Bai let out a strange laugh twice: ”Who would have thought, the legendary Tongtian Immortal Emperor, after passing, staged a disciple killing his son scenario within the door, such fraternal strife, tsk tsk, thrashing those who claim to be of the righteous path to shame...”

Bai lightly mocked a few words, then righteously said: ”Rest assured, little brother, you stay here with me. If Heavenly Dao comes, I will surely spar with him.”

After finishing speaking, Bai immediately clapped his hands, and two servants outside entered the reception room immediately.

”Someone, arrange rooms for these two guests. Let them rest well.”

Wen Yu was stunned, this guy was really straightforward and direct. After Bai arrived, he took charge of the matter directly, without Wen Yu saying a word; Bai made the decision for the entire affair.

Perhaps sensing Wen Yu’s emotions, the Demon Lord sipped from the cup in his hand, and a spiritual fluctuation immediately transmitted into Wen Yu’s mind.

”That’s how Bai is. He says he’ll deal with Heavenly Dao for us, then he’ll naturally take action. Don’t worry about this. If there’s any progress, I will inform you promptly.”

”Gentlemen, please follow me.”

The servant’s voice sounded almost simultaneously.

Wen Yu glanced at the weary Tang Haofei beside him, then at the unmoving Demon Lord and Bai, hesitated slightly, and then directly rose to leave.

...

”Hehehehe...”

Just as Wen Yu and Tang Haofei left, Bai immediately emitted a series of strange laughs.

”Sequence Number 1 and Sequence Number 2 on Earth?”

”You know?”

”Nonsense! I investigated their data thoroughly! So, that guy is your backup this time?”

Bai slightly motioned with his mouth, pointing to where Wen Yu had just been sitting, then lowered his tone to add: ”As if, the former me?”

Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord hesitated slightly and then slowly shook his head.

”No, not quite the same.”

With that, the Demon Lord said nothing more, and Bai didn’t inquire further.

”This time, I will take action, but you must agree to one condition.”

”What?”

”The Soul Grafting Technique you gave me, I’ve found a vessel. After this matter concludes, I need you to help oversee it...”

”Of course, it’s called after-sales service, I understand.”

The Demon Lord agreed readily.

”Also, you haven’t clarified what exactly you need me to do? It can’t just be stopping Heavenly Dao, can it?”

”No.”

The Demon Lord placed the cup down, speaking solemnly: ”I need you to kill him.”

”Hehe...”

Bai’s signature strange laugh again resounded throughout the reception room: ”You truly esteem me highly, don’t you know the gap in our strengths?”

”I certainly know, but this time the situation is different...”

Saying this, the Demon Lord closed his mouth directly, then his lips twitched, transmitting a spiritual fluctuation into Bai’s ear.

Bai’s expression slowly froze, after a while, an emotion neither sorrow nor lament appeared slowly on Bai’s face.

”Is it already like this... Then, I understand...”

...

Following the servant, they went to the prepared room.

Throughout the journey, Wen Yu remained on edge. Bai’s earlier demeanor, in Wen Yu’s eyes, was ultimately somewhat bizarre.

Conversely, Tang Haofei beside him showed no such confusion — he was merely like a walking corpse, closely following behind Wen Yu.

”Are you okay?”

Seeing Tang Haofei’s current state, Wen Yu frowned and gently nudged Tang Haofei’s body.

”Ah... ah?”

The reaction was several beats slow, and his consciousness was unclear...

Under the perspective of Soul Perception, the strange weakness within Tang Haofei’s soul body was slowly dissipating — this aspect of perception seemed good, but judging from external manifestations, Tang Haofei’s state only appeared worsened.

Aiming to discuss Bai’s attitude with Tang Haofei, Wen Yu slowly closed his mouth.

Now, Tang Haofei’s current appearance couldn’t determine anything...

”Rest well.”

With a light sigh, Wen Yu gently patted Tang Haofei’s shoulder.

First, sending Tang Haofei to the guest room, watching him muddle crawl onto the bed, Wen Yu furrowed his brow and followed the servant to another room.
