Zither Emperor Chapter 377 Chapter 115 Yue Ming's Return Part 1_1

377: Chapter 115: Yue Ming’s Return (Part 1)_1 377: Chapter 115: Yue Ming’s Return (Part 1)_1 As they were speaking, two shadowy figures flashed by, and two ethereal silhouettes now stood inside the icy cave, the dwelling place of the Ming Hui Couple.

Their daughter had e back to them, so they no longer took things as lightly as before; they had long since sealed the icy cave using the Snow Spirit You Ming method, ensuring that the moment any living being’s presence was detected, they would be notified immediately and rush back.

Though Ye Yinzhu had just teleported there, the Ming Hui Couple was not far off, so they quickly returned to the cave.

“Greetings, senior,” Ye Yinzhu said politely.

“We dare not presume,” said the Ming Hui Couple somewhat apprehensively as they greeted Ye Yinzhu.

They were very clear about the previous occasion when Ye Yinzhu and Zi entered the Ice Ring.

Although they were yet unaware that Ye Yinzhu and the others had subdued the War Behemoth Glacis, the fact that they could enter the Ice Ring and leave unharmed had already proved their extraordinary strength.

Especially since there had once been an immensely powerful surge of energy within the Ice Ring, the Seven Forbidden Spells’ aura emitted by Super Divine Artefact Deadwood Dragon Chanting Zither nearly sent all the Magical Beasts in Frosty Forest into a panic, though, thankfully, it didn’t last long.

Ye Yinzhu turned to face Ming Hui, his back towards Yue Ming, and made a covert gesture to the two Snow Spirits You Ming; he didn’t want Yue Ming to know too much about himself.

The Ming Hui Couple was very astute.

Ming Hui subconsciously nodded and promptly changed the subject, “You’re here to take Miss Yue Ming back, aren’t you?

Miss Yue Ming has been improving rapidly during her cultivation with us.

My wife Xue’er and I have given this a lot of thought.

Only by growing up faster can she have the power to protect herself.

We have now bee one of the Eight Great Beasts of Frosty Forest and could be challenged by Magical Beasts at any time.

Our greatest fear is not being able to take care of our daughter.

Therefore, we’ve decided to restore the contract between Xue’er and Miss Yue Ming, but we’ll still keep Xue’er here.

When Miss Yue Ming needs her, she can summon her to her side.

This arrangement preserves their sisterly affection so they can help each other in the future, and also allows Xue’er to stay in the icy cave with us.”

This was indeed an excellent solution that would serve both purposes.

Ye Yinzhu looked meaningfully at Ming Hui—he knew that the Ming Hui Couple had made this decision, in part, because before he left, he informed them that Yue Ming was the granddaughter of Yue Hui, President of the Milan Empire Mage’s Guild.

Yue Hui held a prominent position in the Milan Empire and, as a Grand Dark Sorcerer, having this relationship would provide extra assurance for both the couple and Ming Xue’s future.

“That’s wonderful news, congratulations to you both.

Yue Ming’s grandfather is waiting for her to return, so I can’t stay long.

Let’s leave now.”

Ming Hui nodded in agreement, while Ming Xue, held in Yue Ming’s arms, became even more reluctant to part.

Yue Ming was quietly forting her.

Suddenly, Ye Yinzhu thought of something, “Senior Ming Hui, I want to ask if there are any Advanced-rank Magical Beasts in Frosty Forest or the entire Northernmost Wilderness that are known for their speed and endurance, and also have a significant offensive power in large numbers.”

Ming Hui paused for a moment—regarding Magical Beasts known for their speed and endurance, there were quite a few, but having them in large numbers was problematic.

Advanced-rank Magical Beasts, at least rank seven or higher, belonged to the realm of Wisdom-type Demon Beasts, and within that category, it was rare to find large numbers of a single species.

Having groups of three to five was already quite difficult because Wisdom-type Demon Beasts are quite proud creatures.

Even among their kind, they prefer not to gather together.

Moreover, when wars occur among Advanced-rank Magical Beasts, only the strongest survive; thus, the chances of a single species existing in large numbers are slim.

Because if a united group of Wisdom-type Demon Beasts were to form, they would immediately face a bined attack from other Advanced-rank Magical Beasts.

This is a rule within the Magical Beast World—no one wishes to see a powerful force that could unify the realm.

After pondering for a moment, the Ming Hui Couple finally shook their heads.

Ming Hui said, “Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, there probably isn’t such a species of Advanced-rank Magical Beast in our Magical Beast World.

There are quite a few among the mid-rank Magical Beasts, though.”

Ye Yinzhu frowned slightly, “I’m aware of the mid-rank Magical Beasts, but they are not my target.

Are you sure there are none?

Please think again.”

A glint suddenly appeared in Ming Yue’s eyes, “There seems to be one kind of Magical Beast that meets the requirements of His Excellency, the Zither Emperor.

Moreover, it’s right here in our Frosty Forest.”

Ming Hui looked at his wife in surprise and suddenly realized, “Are you talking about the Dragon Wolves in the northeast direction?”

Ye Yinzhu asked in confusion, “Dragon Wolves?

Are they also a type of Magical Beast?

How e I have never heard of them before.”

Ming Hui said, “Perhaps only the Dragon Wolves can meet your requirements.

However, the Dragon Wolf is a type of Magical Beast that has been abandoned.

Although they are a group, it’s very difficult for them to leave the confines of the Frosty Forest.”

Upon hearing Ming Hui’s words, Ye Yinzhu couldn’t help but show great interest, “Senior Ming Hui, please tell me more about these Dragon Wolves.”

Ming Hui explained, “Dragon Wolves are a special kind of Magical Beast with characteristics of both dragons and wolves.

No one knows where this species es from, but from the day they were born, they were abandoned by the Magical Beast World, with no Magical Beast willing to associate with them.

Because, the dragon blood in them has destined their sorrow.

The Dragon Clan never acknowledges that they are also among the Magical Beasts.

Their dominance and pride are bound to disdain all other Warcraft species.

On the Continent, there are quite a few Sub-Dragon species — what you Humans call Dragon Tamers.

These Dragon Tamers inherit varying degrees of the Dragon Clan’s strength.

However, it’s rare for Dragon Tamers to reach the status of Advanced-rank Magical Beasts.

Dragon Wolves belong to the least of these ranks.

General Dragon Tamers, whose names all end with ‘dragon,’ all hope to elevate their own status by banking on the nobility of dragons, whereas Dragon Wolves, quite the opposite, never acknowledge themselves as members of the Dragon Clan after gaining wisdom; they consider themselves wolves.

Because of this, they are seen as traitors by the Dragon Clan, who once launched a massive campaign to annihilate them.

Although the Dragon Wolves were few in number, they were extremely united and finally escaped to the Frosty Forest, the only place where the Dragon Clan dares not to act recklessly.

At that time, the Dragon Kings of the Seven Dragon Cities swore that if the Dragon Wolves dared to leave the Frosty Forest, they would immediately face an attack by the entire Dragon Clan.

Since then, the Dragon Wolves have survived in the Frosty Forest.

As they are all Advanced-rank Magical Beasts and highly united, they quickly took over the northeast direction, and it naturally followed that the Dragon Wolf King became one of the Eight Great Beasts of Frosty Forest.”

Ye Yinzhu asked, “If that’s the case, then aren’t the Dragon Wolves considered a target by your Magical Beast laws?”

Ming Hui nodded and said, “Yes, because of the Dragon Wolves’ unity and strength, they faced resistance from the native beasts of Frosty Forest upon entering.

But the battles did not last long.

One reason is that the laws of the Magical Beasts don’t have as much effect here in the Frosty Forest, since those who survive here are Advanced-rank Magical Beasts with a mindset focused on their own affairs, not willing to attack such a strong group.

Of course, the more important reason is the strength of the Dragon Wolves themselves and their willingness to promise.

Just as the Dragon Wolves themselves believe — and I think so too — they possess more of the wolf’s nature than that of dragons.

Although the Dragon Wolves are strong, they are not arrogant but merely have proud spines.

They are the most united Magical Beasts, if any Dragon Wolf were injured, they would fight to the death without ever abandoning a panion.

At the same time, after occupying one-eighth of the Frosty Forest, the Dragon Wolf King immediately declared to all beasts of Frosty Forest, swearing on the honor of the Dragon Wolves, that from that point on, the Dragon Wolf Clan would never invade the territory of any other power in the Frosty Forest.

From this, one can see their endurance.

These are the finest traits of wolves.

Over the years, the rankings of the Eight Great Beasts of the Frosty Forest have changed, even the first place switched hands, but the northeast territory of the Dragon Wolves has always maintained its tranquillity.

Unless one ventures into their territory, it’s rare to see any trace of them.

But once you do, it’s like entering an Ice Ring; no one has ever returned alive.”

Ye Yinzhu muttered to himself, “Dragon Wolves, what an intriguing name.

Thank you, Senior Ming Hui, for telling me all this.

I just don’t know, how many Dragon Wolves are there?”

Ming Hui shook his head, “No one knows that.

Since Dragon Wolves have a certain lineage from the Dragon Clan, they should have a long lifespan.

When they first escaped to the Frosty Forest, there were just over two hundred injured and disabled Dragon Wolves.

After at least a thousand years of development, even if their reproduction ability is as poor as that of the Dragon Clan, there should be over three hundred of them now.

As for the specifics of the Dragon Wolf Clan, no one can know.”

Ye Yinzhu nodded, “I would like to witness the might of the Dragon Wolves if I have the chance.

What rank are these Dragon Wolves?”

Ming Hui answered, “I’m not sure about that.

Ordinary Dragon Wolves should be rank seven Magical Beasts, while the Dragon Wolf King is definitely a rank Nine Beast; otherwise, he couldn’t be one of the Eight Great Beasts of Frosty Forest.

The Dragon Wolf King has always been ranked second among the eight, without any changes for a thousand years.”

Ye Yinzhu nodded, “Okay, I understand.

Yue Ming, can we leave now?” With Yue Ming there, he didn’t ask more.

Everything would have to wait until after the return from the Seven Nations, Seven Dragons battle.

Yue Ming glanced at Ming Xue, who was reluctant to leave, and nodded to Ye Yinzhu.
