Chapter 93: The Strange Figure in the Water
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Poof!
In the middle of the huge lake, water was splashing high up into the air.
The Netherworld Demon Sparrow spread its wings that spanned about five to six meters in length.
With half its consciousness lost, under the effect of inertia, it directly took the two youths of the Eternal Night Clan who were riding on its back and plunged headlong into the lake.
And even because it was moving way too fast, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The two youths of the Eternal Night Clan who were riding on its back also fell to the bottom of the lake with it rapidly.
And the water pressure in the lake prevented them from emerging back to the surface for a short moment.
“B*st*rd!”
On a distant shore, Ye Xuan got his Tyrannosaurus to make a move and cause the two youths of the Eternal Night Clan to fall into the water.
Ye Gaojie’s face instantly showed his rage.
His pale, old face was completely covered with an icy-cold expression.
The gaze that he cast at Ye Xuan even bore a hint of murderous intention.
But he did not make a move against Ye Xuan.
Instead, he turned his head, and his gaze landed on Li Shiru as he said, “Vice Dean Lin, this student of yours has gone overboard, hasn’t he?”
“Gone overboard?”
Lin Shiru turned her head and looked at Ye Gaojie, “I think that it is normal.”
“I even feel that it is better if he can go a bit more overboard.”
“To deal with such repulsive people, the only way is to defeat them into submission at one go!”
“Just like you, if you dare show me such an expression and talk to me with this kind of tone again, I won’t mind letting you have a taste of my means after we leave this Spirit Secret Realm!”
“You!”
Ye Gaojie’s voice was caught in his throat for a moment.
He was much older than Lin Shiru.
And had lived for a few hundred years.
He was the very first batch of people to have entered the Cerulean Planet.
But his potential was exhausted long ago.
In terms of strength, the next two or three hundred years, there was no longer hope for any trace of progress.
This was why even though Lin Shiru was way much younger than him…
In terms of strength, even he himself knew that he might not be a worthy match for her.
And after bringing down Ye Gaojie’s army, Lin Shiru shifted her gaze.
And looked over to Ye Xuan in the distance.
The look on her face was full of praise and admiration.
As she just said, to deal with that kind of repulsive people, the only way was to make a move directly.
There was no need for any nonsense.
Because bullshitting with this kind of people was simply a waste of time.
And it would even bring down the score of one’s IQ.
Over at the other side, a greatly enraged Ye Gaojie was clenching his fists tightly.
Then he closed his eyes and emitted his majestic psychic power.
Across several miles.
And informed Ye Qiyun, who was on the other side of the lake, about the news that Ye Xuan had arrived here.
Seeing this scene, Lin Shiru raised her brows but did not say anything.
This was, after all, the secret realm of Cangzhou University.
In coming here, it was only right that she abided by the rules.
So long as Ye Gaojie did not make a move, she would not do anything as well.
Flap-flap!
Simultaneously, the Tyrannosaurus forcefully flapped its wings and carried Ye Xuan on its back, and it soon arrived atop a distant mountain peak near the lake.
This mountain peak was very high.
It was like a tall tower standing high above all on Earth.
Where it pierced straight through the clouds and up into the sky.
After Ye Xuan landed on the mountain peak, he took a few steps to get to higher grounds, and then his eyes swept across the surroundings.
He saw the dozen or more disciples of the Eternal Night Clan by the lake’s shore in the distance.
This place that he had chosen was a small col of this mountain peak.
1
One had to walk a few steps to higher ground to see the Eternal Night Clan at the bottom of the mountain.
After seeing the dozen or so members of the Eternal Night Clan ad the bottom of the mountain, Ye Xuan’s brows furrowed into a frown.
He knew that these people of the Eternal Nigh Clan were mostly just like him.
They were all after the Tidal Treasure Snail.
It was just that he did not know how they came to find out about the Tidal Treasure Snail.
But no matter what.
He wanted to compete with these guys.
And contract the Tidal Treasure Snail as his fourth beast.
And this entailed a substantial level of difficulty.
Especially when there were a few Bronze-level Beast Masters among those of the Eternal Night Clan.
If he were to confront them face-to-face, he most probably would not be a worthy match for any of them.
“Lil Wan, do you have any idea?”
Amidst his frowns, Ye Xuan asked Lil Wan, who was on his shoulder.
“Mm, let me think about it.”
Lil Wan stroked her chin and said after a moment of silent thinking, and she said, “They are stronger than us, and there are many of them. Given a situation like this, if we want to compete with them, we have no other choice but to lure them away from where they are.”
Lure them away from where they were?
Ye Xuan raised a brow.
If he wanted to lure them away from where they took the base, he would need bait.
What kind of bait did he have at hand that could allow him to send the Eternal Night Clan away?
“Alright, just watch me.”
Seeing Ye Xuan raise his brows, Lil Wan smiled confidently and said, “Ye Xuan, you just need to follow the original plan and lure the Tidal Treasure Snail out.”
“And the other thing is that this time if you want to take down that guy, I’m afraid I won’t be able to make a move.”
With that, she instantly flew up and away from Ye Xuan’s shoulder and headed straight to the bottom of the mountain.
Seeing Lil Wan fly towards the bottom of the mountain, Ye Xuan felt a slight jolt in his mind.
He could already guess what Lil Wan’s plan was.
But after figuring out her plan, he frowned instead.
He felt that it was a little risky for Lil Wan to do so.
But in this situation, he had no other choice but to do as such.
With that, he made a move with his mind.
He summoned the Thundercloud Lightning Wings that were swimming about in the World of Thunder and Lightning. To be precise, it was above the Spiritual Pool of Thunder of Lightning’s central mountain peak that was found within the World of Thunder and Lightning.
Swash!
After the Thundercloud Lightning Wings exited the World of Thunder and Lightning, its figure flashed by and then, it transformed into an electric rabbit which flew up to Ye Xuan’s shoulder.
“You really did not lie to me!”
After exiting the world of Thunder and Lightning, the Thundercloud Lightning Wings said to Ye Xuan with a face filled with excitement.
At the same time, it landed on Ye Xuan’s body, with its own body still radiating an incomparably terrifying amount of electricity as it originally did.
But under its control, the electricity coming from its body did not hurt Ye Xuan at all, not even the slightest bit.
“I’ve long told you that I am a man of my words, and I never lie to people.”
Ye Xuan said with a smile on his face.
“But regarding the two treasures that I promised to give you, you will have to wait a while more. But don’t worry, I won’t make you wait too long.”
He had already spoken to Lin Shiru about the matter with the Thundercloud Lightning Wings on the way here earlier.
Lin Shiru had also given him her world.
When they returned to Jiangzhou, she would think of away.
And get that Thousand-Year-Old Battle Soul Pearl for him as soon as possible.
“Okay.”
The Thundercloud Lightning Wings nodded.
It knew clearly in its heart.
It knew that now that it had become Ye Xuan’s beast.
There was no need for Ye Xuan to lie to it, right?
“But Master, what is your purpose of summoning me this time?”
Thinking about it, it sized up its surroundings and asked Ye Xuan out of curiosity.
Originally it thought that Ye Xuan had summoned it out to enlist its help in dealing with some enemy.
Hearing the questing that the Thundercloud Lightning Wings asked, Ye Xuan flipped his hand and took out a gold and silver dual-coloured pearl. Then he said, “This is my purpose in summoning you here.”
“Later, you will help me hold on to this and hide me somewhere around a hundred meters away from here amidst the clouds.”
“I need you to use it to attract the beast that I have set my eyes on as my fourth beast.”
“Fourth beast? Are we going to have a new member joining our team?”
The Thundercloud Lightning Wings’ eyes instantly lit up when it heard this.
It had not expected Ye Xuan to have found another suitable beast again, almost as soon as it had just joined the team. This made it quite excited.
After all, a new beast’s addition meant that it would immediately become a beast under Ye Xuan’s care with senior qualifications.
“That’s right.”
Ye Xuan nodded and said, “But this time, I really think very highly of this one. This beast is mighty.”
“Not only can it detect your every move from a long distance away, but it is also even with space-attributes. So, you have to exercise a little more caution later.”
“Space attribute?”
When the Thundercloud Lightning Wing heard this, it subconsciously looked at Ye Xuan.
After becoming Ye Xuan’s beast and entering the World of Thunder and Lightning.
It did not take long for it to familiarize itself with the World of Thunder and Lightning’s hidden secrets.
It knew that Ye Xuan’s World of Thunder and Lightning could not only accelerate its growth.
At the same time, Ye Xuan could choose any location within a 150-meter range from it, and through the World of Thunder and Lightning, he could summon it out.
Yes. It was 150 meters.
And not just 100 meters.
Compared to Lil Wan and the Tyrannosaurus, it was of a higher level.
So, the ability of the beast nest that it was in was also a bit stronger.
“I get it!”
Thinking about it, it was struck by thought in mind and understood all of Ye Xuan’s intentions.
Immediately its figure moved as a direct flash as it took hold of the Phantom Orb of Sol
Flapping its wings, it flew high into the sky.
And rushed into a huge cluster of white clouds.
In there, it waited quietly.
“Next, it’s up to Lil Wan.”
Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan felt a stir in his heart.
He got the Thundercloud Lightning Wings to hold onto the Phantom Orb of Sol and hid high up in the air while he sneaked an ambush from below.
It was a play that he had set up long ago to capture the Tidal Treasure Snail.
It was just that this time, before entering the Spirit Secret Realm, something beyond his anticipation happened.
In this piece of land, other than him, there were actually people of the Eternal Night Clan as well.
And so, this made him seem a little underprepared.
After all, no matter how good his plan was after he managed to attract the Tidal Treasure Snail out of the lake, it would be ultimately going to be discovered by the people of the Eternal Night Clan.
Given his strength, he was afraid that it would still be challenging for him to obtain the Tidal Treasure Snail in the end.
And it would become a cheap thrill for the people of Eternal Night Clan.
Thinking about this, he made a move in his mind and kept the Tyrannosaurus beside him back into its Beast nest.
His Tyrannosaurus was the true trump card in his plan this time!
“That Ye Xuan from Jiangzhou?”
Simultaneously, by the shore of the lake at the foot of the mountain, Ye Qiyun, who had received notification from Ye Gaojie via psychic power, narrowed his eyes and surveyed the surrounding peaks once through.
The place that Ye Xuan chose was a depression in the range of the mountain peak next to him.
Even for Ye Xuan himself, if he did not take a few steps up to higher grounds, he would not be able to see Ye Qiyun either.
From where they stood at the bottom of the mountain, naturally, it was hard to discover Ye Xuan.
But even if they could not locate Ye Xuan, Ye Qiyun was not worried.
He had more than ten people on his side.
During this period, Ye Xuan was often heard from the low-level Beast Tamers in the Cangshou Prefecture on how marvellous and fantastic he was.
He was, after all, only one person in his entirety.
And he was only a Beast Tamer who barely entered the rank of Dark Iron level. Naturally, Ye Qiyun would not think much of him.
However, though his thoughts were as such, he recalled what Ye Gaojie said to him via the transmission of psychic power earlier on, that if it was possible, he should teach Ye Xuan a severe lesson.
So he still took out his mobile phone with a thought in mind.
He flipped through it and found the photos of Ye Xuan that he had previously collected.
He had a habit of collecting photos of all kinds of popular figures.
And during this period, Ye Xuan had made quite a name for himself in Cangzhou. Hence, his photos also made it into Ye Qiyun’s collections.
This time, they came in handy.
Holding his phone in his hand, he shook it in front of the few people around him. Laughingly, he said, “Everyone, can you see this? This person, his name is Ye Xuan, and he comes from Jiangzhou.”
“This time, he has also come with us to the Spirit Secret Realm.”
“And it is highly possible that he is in this area too. If any of you were to find him later, don’t ever start a conflict with him.”
As he spoke, the phone in his hand shook, and a picture of Lil Wan standing on Ye Xuan’s shoulder rapidly found its way into a pair of icy-cold eyes within the lake not far from him.
Wanting to deal with Ye Xuan, he himself and his men naturally could not be the ones to make a move.
Otherwise, if things were to really get ugly, even Ye Gaojie might not be able to protect him.
But if the attack was made by this “Masterless” Bronze level snake hidden underwater, then it was a different story altogether.
In this world, other than beasts of the Beast Tamers, there were also some monsters that people could tame.
The only thing was that such a monster would not bring about reverse nurturing for the Beast Tamer.
It could only obey the Beast Tamer’s orders, and there was a certain risk of backlash.
This strange underwater snake was handed over to him after being tamed by their family.
