NOVEL WEB Chapter 25
Chapter 25: The Beast Tamer Sect Takes Action, the Shadow Guard is Powerful
As long as Hun Tian is given a chance to react, Hun Tian will not lose.
……
After Qin Bei emerged from his retreat, his strength surged, and he felt that he was already close to 600,000 jin, a legendary existence in the cultivation world.
However, Qin Bei found that his grip on power was becoming weaker and weaker; he needed constant practical experience to hone his skills.
So, as soon as he came out of retreat, he headed straight to the Monster Beast Mountain Range.
It was at the very moment he left the capital that the Shadow Gu, which had been lurking in his shadow, finally awakened from its dormant state.
After stepping out of the city gate, Qin Bei turned back to take a look, revealing an inexplicable smile.
……
A thousand miles away, at the Beast Tamer Sect.
“Was he out of the capital so soon?”
The old lion, eyes closed, suddenly opened them. With the activation of the Shadow Gu, he could now see everything around Qin Bei.
Seeing that Qin Bei was all alone, he hurriedly made his way to Beast Cry’s room.
“Let’s go! This time, we can’t afford to mess up again!”
Beast Cry was momentarily stunned, and then understood what the old lion was referring to, followed by a frown.
“But my father said that there has been too much activity recently; we should tread lightly.”
“If he were to leave the capital in a month, I would seriously consider taking it slow too. But it’s only been a few days since he came out! This likely means he hasn’t used the Blood-red Fruit yet. Kill him, and all of this will be yours!”
Upon hearing about the Blood-red Fruit, Beast Cry’s eyes lit up in an instant.
“Let’s move!”
The two quickly appeared on the outskirts of the Monster Beast Mountain Range.
The old lion looked toward the distance, which was precisely where Qin Bei was located.
“Every prince has shadow guards. Now that he’s the Prince of the North, those shadow guards around him are probably already immortal-level experts.”
“What should we do? We mustn’t get discovered!”
“Don’t worry about that. To fulfill the task given by the Holy Demon Dynasty, I’ve really gone all out this time. I hope the Holy Demon Dynasty will provide our sect with the compensation it deserves after this.”
As he spoke, a crack appeared in the space beside the old lion.
Roar!
A beastly roar echoed from within the crack.
Swish swish swish~
As soon as the sound emerged, the surrounding monsters were immediately frightened and scattered in all directions.
“This… is this the sect’s Void Dragon?”
Beast Cry gaped at the slowly emerging beast in shock.
The next moment, the crack sealed again, revealing a dark green dragon, adorned with rhinoceros-like horns on each side of its head, and a massive mouth capable of swallowing a person whole.
As the dragon emerged, the space around it warped.
“Exactly! I initially wanted to wait until it turned into a dragon before showcasing it, but now the situation is special, so I can only use it covertly.”
Beast Cry nodded, recognizing that the sect was genuinely investing heavily this time. Not only had they employed the rare Shadow Gu insect, but they had also called upon this Void Dragon.
This Void Dragon had been resting in the sect’s beast-raising space and had never revealed its true form before.
That’s because this dragon was no ordinary dragon; it was a descendant of the Candle Dragon.
The Candle Dragon is a true dragon that controls spatial power. If this dragon manages to transform into a sub-dragon, it will become a vital asset for their Beast Tamer Sect.
So, they would never deploy such a trump card unless it was absolutely critical.
“Remember, you only have half an hour; finish this quickly!”
Having said that, the old lion merged into the belly of the Void Dragon.
This way, he could control the dragon without being detected by the shadow guards.
As for eliminating Qin Bei, that job fell onto Beast Cry.
“Don’t worry, old lion, killing someone at the body tempering realm won’t even take half an hour!”
Beast Cry said as he grinned.
At the same time…
In the capital, within the palace.
After bidding farewell to Mu Zhaoxue and Ji Zhuyue, Emperor Xia wandered into the harem, accompanied by Qin Bei’s mother, Ling Fei.
Since Qin Bei had already become a three-seal prince, there was no reason for Ling Fei not to take up the due status of her elevated position.
“Your Majesty!”
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the void and knelt before Emperor Xia.
The palace maids and eunuchs near them were all taken aback.
There was no one else bold enough to appear silently in the inner palace other than the leaders of the shadow guards.
“Speak.”
The visitor glanced at those around them and ultimately chose to communicate through a voice transmission.
“Your Majesty, the Beast Tamer Sect is making moves.”
“Oh? Major moves?”
“Not really. They only dispatched two individuals, one is Beast Lion, the other Beast Cry. However, their actions this time are quite covert. They seem to be utilizing monsters that can manipulate space.”
“Have you figured out their objective?”
“They headed straight for the Monster Beast Mountain Range, and Prince Bei is currently at the mountain’s outskirts.”
“Understood. Dismissed.”
“Yes!”
No one else knew what had been said, and the visitor vanished without a trace once more.
Simultaneously, an incarnation of Emperor Xia dissipated from the palace.
Old Lion would never have expected that he wasn’t discovered last time when he dispatched Nascent Soul cultivators, yet this time, despite bringing the Void Dragon, he was indeed detected.
