When Lu Yes group had finally returned to Bilandia, the entire city had entered a battle ready state. Each section of the wall was guarded by countless cultivators, and ward cultivators were setting up all sorts of wards outside the city as well.
Bilandia was the Human Races final bastion in the Myriad Beasts Domain. If it fell, then no one was safe, and the world would fall under the control of the crazed Spirit Beasts completely.
All the survivors had already reached Bilandia, and those who did not make it were most likely lost to the Spirit Beasts already.
Lu Ye and his companions had just fought a great battle. Naturally, they were going to catch so rest. If they participated in the battle in their depleted state, there was a high chance they would not be able to last the whole fight.
There was a surprise waiting for them, however. When they arrived at their accommodation, they discovered that a dozen or so strangers had moved into their house!
Xia Qianqian and the girls imdiately turned wary. Bilandia was so overcrowded that countless cultivators and mortals had to sleep on the streets. It would be terrible if soone had robbed them of their hos while they were out, especially considering the massive gift they had paid to the city lord to make it happen.
Lu Ye thought differently though. A mont of hesitation later, he openly approached the unfamiliar group.
[If Im not mistaken, they should be]
As Lu Ye predicted, one of the cultivators in the groupan old manbroke into tears when he saw him. He imdiately ran up to him, grabbed his shoulders and cried out, Are you okay, Young Master?
[What?]
Xia Qianqian and the rest of the girls imdiately figured out who these people were after catching his outburst.
There was only one type of people who would address Lu Ye as Young Master, and they were the cultivators of the Myriad Beasts Sect. The girls were surprised because they didnt think that so of the natives would be their natural allies, but Lu Ye did because of his identity. He would not have approached them if he hadnt realized this.
When he first entered the Hidden Realm, the objective he received was to escape to Bilandia with the thumb ring and buy the survivors of the Myriad Beasts Sect a place in the city.
In fact, Lu Ye knew that the survivors of the Myriad Beasts Sect had spread out after their headquarters was destroyed. His group could not be the only one who had escaped the disaster.
Since these people were waiting for him at his detached house, they could only be the survivors of the Myriad Beasts Sect.
The group numbered a dozen or so people, and they were all Cloud River Realm cultivators. Considering the average power level of the Myriad Beast Domain, they were without a doubt a force to be reckoned with. This was especially true for the old man holding Lu Ye and the old woman standing at the back of the group. If he wasnt mistaken, they were both Ninth-Order Cloud River Realm cultivators.
Im fine! Lu Ye assured while nodding his head.
The old man looked Lu Ye up and down until he was sure that Lu Ye was unhurt. However, his relieved expression quickly morphed into anger as he yelled, Damn that Liu Wuzhai! Our sect had just been destroyed, and that old bastard already sent you out to face against the Spirit Beasts? He mustve been hoping that you would die out there! I cannot imagine how the bastard ever beca the lord of Bilandia considering how shortsighted he is!
Liu Wuzhai was the na of the city lord of Bilandia. Clearly, the old man had many things to say about the city lords decision to send Lu Ye out to danger. In fact, he imdiately turned on the girls next and yelled, Are you girls stupid or what? Whatever possessed you to think that putting the Young Master at risk is a good idea?
The girls were incredibly miffed, of course. If not for the fact that the natives had no idea they were really Jiu Zhou cultivators, they wouldve taken offense and argued back already.
What? Why are you looking at like that? How dare you! If it wasnt for the Myriad Beasts Sect, you wouldve died on so forgotten streets a long ti ago! The old man could not help but explode again when he saw their expressions.
Enough, Great Elder, the old woman that concerned Lu Ye chose this mont to speak up, its not like the girls wanted to risk the Young Masters life. Were not at the Myriad Beasts Sect anymore, rember? If anyone is at fault here, it is us for taking too long to co to Bilandia. The old woman then looked at the girls and ordered, You three, apologize to the Great Elder now.
Instead of apologizing, the girls rely stared at Lu Yes back. Feeling as if soone was burning a hole in his back, Lu Ye imdiately straightened up and said, Its okay, Great Elder. Im the one who made the decision to go on the mission. Its not their fault.
The Great Elder let out a long sigh. Young Master, I know you love the girls, but you cant pamper them too much. Otherwise forget it. We are all that is left of the sect now, and I do not wish to make the atmosphere any more unpleasant than it already is. Just rember to keep the Young Master out of danger next ti.
Finally, the girls let out a disgruntled mm.
Suddenly, the Great Elder looked at Amber. The white tiger was currently draped over Lu Yes shoulder. The longer he stared, the brighter his eyes shone. Where did you find this little fella, Young Master? Is it okay if I take a look at it?
Lu Ye tilted his head at Amber, and the white tiger imdiately leaped over to the Great Elder. The old mans eyes brightened even more when he caught Amber. Oh, what an intelligent fella you are!
After inspecting Amber thoroughly, the Great Elder finally returned the white tiger to Lu Ye with a wide smile on his face. Congratulations, Young Master! You are incredibly lucky to have recruited this incredible beast not long after you lost your Chosen Beast. If Im not mistaken, this beast is a descendant of the Four Sacred Beasts. It might not be very powerful right now, but it possesses incredible potential. If raised properly, its future is guaranteed to be brighter than most.
Lu Ye was surprised. He did not think that the old man would be able to identify Ambers bloodline, but then again, what was he expecting? He was the Great Elder of the Myriad Beasts Sect, the greatest Beast Taming sect of this Cultivation World before it was destroyed. Even Lu Ye himself wasnt sure that Amber was a descendant of the Four Sacred Beasts until now.
As for the Chosen Beast the Great Elder spoke of Lu Ye knew nothing about the poor animal, of course. He wasnt actually the Young Master of the Myriad Beasts Sect, he was just assuming his identity.
According to Xia Qianqian, there used to be a Myriad Beasts Domain in the past. Everything they were experiencing right now was sothing that had already happened in the distant past. They were reliving that experience now only because the Heavens had sohow recreated it through so ans he was nowhere powerful enough to even imagine.
Both the Myriad Beasts Sect and the Young Master of the Myriad Beasts Sect were real, but Lu Ye had no idea what the Young Masters Chosen Beast was because the Heavens hadnt given him that information. Heck, he didnt even know that the old man before him was the Great Elder until the old woman had spoken up.
Lu Ye was an inquisitive man, so he asked, How can I make it my Chosen Beast, Great Elder?
The Great Elder shot him a confused look. Im sorry? The art of converting a Spirit Beast into a Chosen Beast was the beating heart of Beast Taming itself. How could Lu Ye possibly not know about it?
Lu Ye imdiately feigned a sorrowful expression. Im sorry. Ive been feeling pretty addled since the Myriad Beasts Sect was destroyed. Its gotten to the point where Ive forgotten many things that I should never forget.
Xia Qianqian and the others rolled their eyes repeatedly when they heard this
However, the Great Elder accepted the shoddy excuse and sighed. I see. Im sorry you had such a hard ti, Young Master. He then shoved his hand into his Storage Bag and searched around for a bit before passing Lu Ye a jade slip. This contains the most important technique of our sect, the Beast Pact Art. Keep it safe!
Lu Ye accepted it respectfully and nodded. Do not worry, Great Elder.
Behind him, the girls felt their eyes widening like saucers. Who wouldve thought that asking was all Lu Ye needed to do to obtain the Myriad Beast Sects most important technique? They might not know what the Beast Pact Art was, but it didnt take a genius to know that it must have sothing to do with Beast Taming.
In Jiu Zhou, Beast Taming was a minor cultivation faction at best, but here in the Myriad Beasts Domain it was the complete opposite. They had no doubt that the cultivators of the Myriad Beasts Domain were far better at the Way of Beast Taming than the cultivators of Jiu Zhou, not to ntion that the Beast Pact Art Lu Ye just received ca from their strongest Beast Taming sect.
The Beast Tars of Jiu Zhou would kill to obtain the Beast Pact Art. It was extrely valuable to say the least!
[This old man isnt a nuisance! Hes an opportunity!]
Xia Qianqian was a woman of action. She imdiately asked, Great Elder, weve run out of cultivation resources. Can we
The Great Elder imdiately lost his pleasant expression and glared at her, Did the Sect Master not give you a bag of Spirit Stones right before you left? Dont tell youve used them all already!
Xia Qianqian groaned on the inside. [Of course not! I havent even t your Heavens damned Sect Master, much less received anything from him!]
The Great Elder turned back to Lu Ye with a pleasant expression. The guy must be a master of faces. Where is your Spirit Beast Bag, Young Master?
Im sorry?
The Great Elder let out another sorrowful sigh. Oh, Young Master. Its not easy to make Spirit Beast Bags, you know. Our sect only has a dozen of them, and they were all passed down by our ancestors. You cant just lose it like this.
He then removed a bag from his waist and handed it to Lu Ye. Here. This is yours now.
To say Lu Ye was flabbergasted would be an understatent, but his shock was not even close to the girls. They were so jealous they could strangle the lucky sonuvabitch. Forget Kitty Shen, even a veteran like Xia Qianqian had never seen anyone receiving such preferential treatnt from a Hidden Realm native before.
Xia Qianqian had thought that Lu Yes identity was a superficial status at first, but clearly she was mistaken. The guy could abandon them all and go into hiding right now, and she wouldnt even be able to fault him for it!
[Its not fair!]
[Why is a Second-Order cultivator getting so much profit for free, while I, a Ninth-Order cultivator, get nothing at all?]
[Is it because hes a male?]
[Not fair, Heavens! Not fair!]
Xia Qianqian wanted to cry.
It was at this mont the old woman spoke up, The young master has just returned from battle. Why dont we postpone this conversation to a later date?
The Great Elder nodded. Youre right. Please take your rest, Young Master. We will speak again after youve recovered.
I shall be taking my rest then, Lu Ye replied. He was going to walk into the house when suddenly, he felt a few pairs of red hot gazes piercing his back. He hurriedly waved at the girls and added, You girls, follow .
Yes sir! The girls hurriedly responded.
As he was walking toward his room, he thought he heard the sound of grinding teeth behind his back. He wondered if it was his imagination
Lu Ye went into his room and closed the door. He had just sat down on the floor when the world suddenly grew a little dim. He looked up and saw the three won glaring down on him with thick, unbridled disdain
I cant help it! The Heavens are the ones who arranged all this! Lu Ye tried to defend himself, Plus, I brought you all here to catch so rest, didnt I?
Were splitting the loot! Xia Qianqian uttered through gritted teeth. She was going to explode if Lu Ye said no.
Sure. How do you want to split it?
You can have whatevers inside the Spirit Beast Bag, but I want a copy of that Beast Pact Art. Dont worry, Im not going to sell it. I have a senior brother whos a Beast Tar, and the art might be useful to him!
too! Kitty Shen raised her hand imdiately.
Lan Ziyi was silent, but it was obvious she wanted a copy as well.
