537: Chapter 168: Frightening You with the Four Sacred Beasts (Part 1)_1 537: Chapter 168: Frightening You with the Four Sacred Beasts (Part 1)_1 Upon hearing Ye Yinzhu’s voice, Glacis’ killing intent instantly dissipated.
If he feared anyone in this world, it was not his contract master, Zi.
Though Zi, as a Divine Beast, ranked slightly higher than him, as a War Behemoth, he was never truly submissive to the Amethyst Behemoth.
However, Ye Yinzhu’s display of power through the Super Divine Artefact – Deadwood Dragon Chanting Zither left a profound impression on Glacis.
Instantly casting Seven Forbidden Spells – what kind of strength was that?
Glacis held genuine reverence for Ye Yinzhu.
Ye Yinzhu, of course, would not tell him that he had been bluffing at the time.
Since Glacis knew little about human strength and Super Divine Artefacts, he had always considered Ye Yinzhu to be the true powerhouse, a being parable to the gods.
So, the moment he heard Ye Yinzhu’s voice, the killing move he was about to unleash was immediately retracted, his raised arms dropping, though his right foot stepped forward.
Boom – the land cracked, and the powerful shockwaves made even Zi and Ming’s massive bodies sway.
In an instant, snow and ice splashed everywhere, and the Dragon Wolves charging towards Glacis were nearly all blown away by the force of the impact the moment it hit.
It wasn’t just the few dozen attacking Dragon Wolves; even those behind them were sent flying.
Glacis, as if no one else existed, walked toward Zi and the others, emanating an overpowering and wild aura that even the Dragon Wolves somewhat feared.
The Old Dragon Wolf quickly instructed his kin to make way, allowing Glacis to join Ye Yinzhu and his group.
At this moment, the Old Dragon Wolf’s heart sank to its lowest depths; he now fully understood that the strength of these people was beyond their capacity to confront.
“Glacis, your War Trample has bee even more fierce,” said Ye Yinzhu with a hint of a smile as he watched the large figure of Glacis approach him.
Frankly, when Glacis had killed Zi, Ye Yinzhu wanted to tear him limb from limb.
But after Zi was reborn and Glacis subdued, Ye Yinzhu always knew that Glacis was the strongest force at his mand.
Glacis, although a Divine Beast, was clearly not as clever as Zi, and from their simple interactions, Ye Yinzhu could sense his straightforward nature, much like that of Golden Behemoth Dis.
Once in battle, it was all about the frenzy of bat, something Mountain Giant Ming lacked.
And as part of his own side, Ye Yinzhu found Glacis’ sincere temperament endearing.
“Your Excellency, the Zither Emperor, isn’t this because I also started to work hard after witnessing your mighty strength?
I used to think that with my power, few in this world could oppose me.
But after having seen both you and Boss Zi, I realized there’s always someone stronger.
If I don’t keep improving, how will I even survive?
Look, even these youngsters dare attack me.
Your Excellency, do you want to annihilate them?
Leave it to me, give me ten minutes, and I’ll make sure to wipe them all out,” Glacis said.
War Behemoths are born for battle, but Glacis, with his “big appetite,” had been living within the Ice Ring all for the sake of eating his fill, relying on the endless creatures of the ocean to satisfy his hunger.
As the lord of the core Ice Ring in the Frosty Forest, Glacis always considered himself the boss of the Frosty Forest; seeing these Dragon Wolves daring to surround his boss and the most admired Zither Emperor, his killing intent was beginning to bee uncontrollable.
Glacis’ voice was loud; he wasn’t one to hold back, and the Old Dragon Wolf heard him loud and clear.
Glacis’ strength was something he had personally witnessed.
Although it was just one War Trample, even he, a rank Nine Beast, couldn’t keep his footing and fell to the ground.
How immense was such strength?
It surely was no less than that of the two giants, and yet, such a mighty figure was being so courteous to the human who wanted to negotiate, even acknowledging him as the strongest.
Who exactly were these people?
Could it be that the heavens wished to extinguish the Dragon Wolf Clan?
The Clan Leader of the Dragon Wolves felt an almost tearful frustration.
But his reaction was understandable.
Perhaps any race facing three of the top-ranked among the Four Sacred Beasts – the Amethyst Behemoth, the War Behemoth, and the Mountain Giant – would feel the same.
Even the three great tribes of the Beastmen wouldn’t dare to contend with these three Divine Beasts at the same time.
They were all true one-man armies.
Ye Yinzhu had gathered the Four Sacred Beasts to subjugate the Dragon Wolf Clan to pletely oppress this proud and united race.
Without an outright overwhelming advantage, even defeating the opponent would not easily make them submit.
“Glacis, just stand by for now.
There will be plenty of opportunities to fight later,” said Ye Yinzhu, waving his hand.
Glacis, somewhat reluctantly, looked back at the Dragon Wolves with a wildness in his eyes that felt almost tangible.
Under this intimidation, the Dragon Wolves involuntarily stepped back.
Glacis then grudgingly positioned himself behind Ye Yinzhu, displaying utmost respect.
Zi looked on, amused, thinking, “Is he my subordinate, or Yin Zhu’s subordinate?
But it doesn’t really matter.
It seems I won’t be able to deter Glacis myself unless I can reach maturity sooner.”
Ye Yinzhu stepped forward slowly and smiled at the Old Dragon Wolf, “Elder, can we talk now?
I want to reaffirm that we bear no ill will towards the Dragon Wolf Clan on this visit.”
The Old Dragon Wolf looked mockingly at Ye Yinzhu, “You call this negotiation?
If I’m not mistaken, the reason you haven’t attacked us despite having the power to do so is because you want the Dragon Wolf Clan to submit to you.
Let me tell you, that’s impossible.
Even if you kill us to the last, you will never obtain the loyalty of our clan.
We are wolves, wolves that never submit.”
Ye Yinzhu felt a shock in his heart, not expecting the old Dragon Wolf to be so sensitive.
Indeed, high-level magical beasts deserved their reputation, “Elder, please don’t misunderstand.
I didn’t e here to subjugate the Dragon Wolf Clan.
If that were the case, I think, as you have seen, we possess the strength to pletely defeat you first before discussing any other matters.
I could even forcefully pel you to sacrifice your Soul Fire.”
“That’s impossible.
Even in death, don’t think you can take our Soul Fire,” the old Dragon Wolf roared angrily.
Ye Yinzhu frowned and said, “Elder, we cannot continue this discussion with your current attitude.
Do you truly believe that I cannot obtain your Soul Fire?
If that were so, I wouldn’t have been able to lure all of you out.
Do you still remember the zither music from just now?”
The old Dragon Wolf’s heart jolted.
Of course, it remembered the zither music.
At that moment, almost all the Dragon Wolves recalled the humiliation of being driven to this frigid land, the uncontrollable sorrow and anger transforming into a long howl.
Ye Yinzhu gave a faint smile and said, “I am a Spirit Mage, to be precise, a Divine Music Master.
In front of my Zither Magic, it won’t be easy for you to mit suicide even if you wish to upon defeat.
I have at least ten ways to forcibly obtain your Soul Fire.” He wasn’t boasting; who was his teacher?
The very progenitor of Dark Demon Attribute Mages, with unparalleled expertise in the study of spirits pared to any other Spirit Mages.
While Phil Jackson hadn’t taught him content about Undead Magic, he extensively covered the mysteries of Spiritual Magic and souls.
The old Dragon Wolf fell somewhat silent.
It had a deep memory of the previous zither music, and coupled with Glacis’s respect for Ye Yinzhu, it knew that this young human was not joking—he indeed had the ability to make their clansmen surrender their Soul Fire.
Should that be true, even if the Dragon Wolf Clan were stubborn, they would have no choice but to submit.
“So, if you’re not here to subjugate us, what are you doing here?
Is it just to intimidate us?” the old Dragon Wolf’s breath somewhat receded as it released a hint of a special aura.
The surrounding Dragon Wolves slowly withdrew, with some leading the injured from the previous attack deep into the Frosty Forest.
Ye Yinzhu said, “We’ve e hoping to cooperate with the Dragon Wolf Clan.”
“Cooperate?
Isn’t that just another way of saying subjugation?” the old Dragon Wolf snorted disdainfully, thinking to itself that it was not so easily fooled.
But faced with such a powerful foe, it would have already forcefully crushed the opponent’s throat if it were able to.
Ye Yinzhu said, “No, it is not the same.
Our cooperation will be mutually beneficial.
You must be the King of the Dragon Wolves, the leader here.
Elder, I ask you, do you really want your clansmen to live in this bitter cold land forever, to suffer endlessly in the Frosty Forest?
Have you forgotten the beauty of the Ryuzakinus Continent, the warmth of the sunshine, and the delicious food?
As the Clan Leader, as the King of the Dragon Wolves, do you not wish to lead your people out of here and back to the vast world outside?”
The old Dragon Wolf stared at Ye Yinzhu, dumbfounded.
Not just him, but the surrounding Dragon Wolves also started to look differently at Ye Yinzhu.
From the depths of their dark red eyes, Ye Yinzhu saw a glint of hope.
He knew that his words had reached deep into the hearts of these Dragon Wolves.
“What’s the use of going out?
Here we at least have our freedom.
Going out would only make us your slaves,” the old Dragon Wolf glared at Ye Yinzhu, moved by his words although it would never admit it.
The Dragon Wolf Clan had lived in the Frosty Forest for nearly a thousand years due to the oppression of the Dragon Clan.
Who would want to live forever in this land of bitter cold?
It was a choice made out of necessity!
