Tian Hai was shocked, but Tian Hai did not panic, he maintained his composure and frowned: "Great Xia Empire suddenly wants to start a war with us, why is that so?"

"Is there even a need to guess? "Of course, seeing that the Azure Essence Sect is unsteady and does not have any top disciples right now, the number of people in the Martial Ancestor realm can be counted on one hand, so of course they would take this opportunity to attack you two, which could be said to be a great opportunity for the Great Xia Empire. If the Azure Essence Sect develops, then it would be a huge threat to the Great Xia Empire," Wang Jun said as he analyzed on the side.

Zhang Yan also nodded his head and said: "What Brother Zou says makes sense, previously, Azure Essence Sect was merely a Sacred Land, and in one year, there were not many disciples who were able to increase their cultivation by much. In comparison, Great Xia Empire is an established power of the dynasty, there must be many people in the Martial Saint realm within the sect, and there are even a few in the Martial Saint realm.

Hu Mei’er, however, thought of the Soul Devouring beast he saw by Zhang Yan's side earlier and spoke in realization: "Are you talking about that middle-aged man that has been by your side all this time? I've never seen him before, but why is he always by your side? "

Zhang Yan nodded his head and said: "Of course, he has always been here. It's just that previously, he was in closed door cultivation to treat his injuries, and now, he has coincidentally come out."

"Is that so? Why don't you hurry up and call him out? Let us also see this senior, "Tian Hai said in pleasant surprise at the side.

Zhang Yan smiled and said: "Alright then, but do not be shocked when you see it," Zhang Yan said as she released the Soul Devouring Beast from the True Dragon Ring.

A stream of black mist floated out from the True Dragon Ring, and immediately formed a human shape in front of Zhang Yan, immediately transforming into a middle-aged man who knelt down in front of Zhang Yan with one knee, and said respectfully: "Soul Devouring greets Young Master."

The appearance of the Soul Devouring Beast shocked everyone. They never would have thought that this person was actually released from Zhang Yan's storage ring, and everyone stared at Zhang Yan with widened eyes in shock, especially Wang Zong who was at the side. His mouth was wide open, and a light bulb could be seen from his mouth. "How could you put someone in the ring?"

Xiao Bai, who had been lying quietly in Hu Mei’er's embrace all this time, could also feel the powerful aura on the Soul Devouring Beast, as well as the baleful aura that was unique to primordial beasts. Xiao Bai could not help but directly jump down, and instantly grew to a meter tall, three-meter-long tiger on the ground.

The Soul Devouring Beast wasn't intimidated by Xiao Bai's shouts at all. Instead, it turned its head and looked at Xiao Bai while deep in thought.

The Soul Devouring beast thought that Xiao Bai was a Divine Beast for the first time, but after sensing it carefully, it shook its head and said: "It's not a White Tiger, but its aura really seems like it."

It was the first time Tian Hai had met him at the side, and was also the first time. The two of them were instantly shocked by Xiao Bai, and upon seeing the dignified and imposing Xiao Bai, Hu Mei’er liked it even more as he went forward and laid his head on Xiao Bai's body, and buried his head into Xiao Bai's smooth and soft fur. He said to Xiao Bai: "Wa, I didn't expect you to really be a White Tiger, you're so awesome.

Zhang Yan, however, quickly smiled and said: "Xiao Bai, don't be so presumptuous. This is my friend, not my enemy, don't be so agitated."

The Soul Devouring Beast on the other hand, had a smile plastered across its face as it looked at Xiao Bai, and praised him strangely: "This looks too similar to a Divine Beast, but it isn't a White Tiger. However, this aura is extremely powerful, it's really strange."

Zhang Yan thought that since Xiao Bai was a Yin Yang God Slaughtering Tiger and also a Divine Beast, he could only be a mutated Divine Beast, so the Soul Devouring Beast didn't recognize Xiao Bai either.

When Xiao Bai heard these words, he turned back into his kitten form once again and said a little embarrassedly, "I felt a threatening aura just now, and I'm really too excited." As he spoke, he directly jumped into Hu Mei’er's embrace and continued to sleep.

Tian Hai looked at the scene in front of him and was stunned. All of this was simply too shocking, just the appearance of the Soul Devouring Beast was enough to cause Tian Hai to be extremely shocked, and Xiao Bai was even more shocked later on. The powerful aura being emitted from Xiao Bai's body was not a joke, it was the strongest Spirit Demon beast Tian Hai had ever seen.

Tian Hai immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Hello, Senior. I am Zhang Yan's senior brother and also Azure Essence Sect. I have yet to ask who you are, senior?"

Zhang Yan laughed and said: "This is my good friend, Soul Devouring, and also my dao protector. He is originally a bit cold, so please do not take offense to him."

"If you don't mind, how could you possibly mind?" Wang Zong said with a smile on his face.

After all, it was normal for senior experts at the level of the Soul Devouring Beast to not want to communicate with them.

Zhang Yan said in an extremely confident manner, "With the Soul Devouring here, we don't have to be afraid of the people from the Great Xia Empire at all. They pose no threat to us at all;

Tian Hai also had some confidence now, because even he could not tell the strength of the Soul Devouring beast in front of him, and he knew without guessing that its strength would definitely be stronger than his, so he was determined to win this battle with Great Xia Empire. Tian Hai was now waiting for the Great Xia Empire to come over to throw their lives away.

After all, the Azure Essence Sect was currently part of the imperial government and it was a vast territory. If they did not set out earlier, they would not have reached the border in a day, so they were rushing there too.

Three days later, by the side of Chu Huai He, where the Great Xia Empire and his men were at, Zhang Yan and his men had already arrived, and they had been waiting for Zhang Yan and his men the entire time.

Zhang Yan could already see from afar that there were dozens of people standing on the Great Xia Empire's side, all of them extremely arrogant, without putting Zhang Yan and the rest in their eyes.

On the other hand, the Soul Devouring Beast said: "One Martial King, three Martial Saints, eight Martial Saint Realm Warriors, the rest are all either Martial Ancestor or lower."

When the Sect Leader, Xia Huairen, saw that there were only five people over at Zhang Yan's side, he could not help but sneer and said in disdain, "I had thought that the people of your Azure Essence Sect would not dare to come. I never expected that you would really dare to come. Or could it be that this is your strongest power? "

"If that's the case, then I advise you to surrender as soon as possible. Don't waste your time struggling. There's no way your Azure Essence Sect can be a match for our Great Xia Empire." Xia Huairen taunted loudly.

Zhang Yan snorted upon hearing that: "Strength is not something that can be determined by the number of people. With so many of you, what use do you have? In front of absolute power, numbers are completely useless. "

Zhang Yan looked at them with disdain, and said coldly: "I'm just saying who will answer, why aren't you convinced?"

When Xia Huairen heard this, he laughed and said, "Well said. There's no use in numbers in front of absolute strength. However, I don't seem to have seen the strength of your Azure Essence Sect."

"However, I want to speak with the Sect Leader," Xia Huairen said as he looked at the Soul Devouring beast. He believed that the Soul Devouring beast was the Azure Essence Sect.

In the end, the Soul Devouring Beast didn't even look at them and only snorted coldly, not saying anything.

Tian Hai said with a smile, "I am Sect Leader's Tian Hai. Could it be that you are Great Xia Empire's Xia Huairen?"

Xia Huairen could not help but be alarmed when he saw that Azure Essence Sect was actually such a young person. He said with a laugh, "As expected of a young hero."
