“Indeed, that’s true,” Song Yun nodded, her eyes tinged with nervousness.
Could it be that her disciple had encountered some danger?
The Seven-Colored Cloud Crane glanced at Song Yun, then looked at Li Zhe with a smile that was not quite a smile, “Are you sure… you want to know?”
“Please, senior, stop beating around the bush,” Li Zhe said with a wry smile.
“All right then.” The Seven-Colored Cloud Crane shook its head with a strange expression, and between the strokes of its slender wings, a flash of light from the ancient mirror brought forth an image in midair, which, upon examination, turned out to be a scene within the Nirvana Secret Realm.
This ancient mirror not only opened the Nirvana Secret Realm but also allowed those outside to see clearly what was happening inside.
Seeing the actions of the Seven-Colored Cloud Crane, the three powerful figures were not particularly surprised, obviously aware of this function.
As the image became clearer, the scene unfolding brought a simultaneous change to the expressions of Qi Yunhan and Li Zhe.
“Li Zhe, you must give me an explanation for this!”
Qi Yunhan’s expression turned to anger, and he even dropped the previous formalities, calling out Li Zhe’s name directly.
Li Zhe’s expression went from astonishment to bewilderment. Faced with Qi Yunhan’s questioning, he couldn’t help but give a bitter smile, “President Qi, I really wasn’t aware of this… Tang Hao is Vice President Chu’s proud disciple and did not show this side of himself in usual days. Perhaps… there’s some misunderstanding?”
“Misunderstanding?” Qi Yunhan’s face grew more fiercely angry, and upon seeing the image of Lin Su evading attacks from Rock Dwarves with his beast in difficulty, he snorted coldly, “If Lin Su misses out on the opportunity to evolve in the Nirvana Pool because of Tang Hao, you will have to provide an explanation.”
“Fine,” Li Zhe agreed without hesitation, recognizing the fault on his side, “If it really is as you say, I will provide appropriate compensation to the young man.”
A few shades darker appeared in his eyes.
Qi Yunhan had been attending a meeting held by the headquarters of the Beast Taming Union in the imperial capital and was not within his Union. Wasn’t Li Zhe in the same situation?
By the time he returned, the Beastmaster Competition had already ended.
Because the more important preliminary rounds were beginning in two months, Li Zhe did not pay much attention to the Beastmaster Competition and did not comment on placing third. He simply followed the rules and brought Chu Feng’s disciple to the secret realm.
Before they left, he had actually asked Chu Feng if he wanted to come along personally. If so, he could lend his Token to him. However, Chu Feng had unhesitatingly refused at the time.
This was why his expression had been a bit odd when Song Yun mentioned she had come personally because Zhou Qiyi was her disciple.
Li Zhe never expected Chu Feng’s disciple to do such a thing in the Nirvana Secret Realm.
He had repeatedly emphasized on the journey here that in the realm, one must not interfere with others obtaining their opportunity, unless everyone was after the same supernatural resource, in which case it would be based on individual ability.
The Nirvana Pool, which could accommodate many people evolving at the same time, certainly did not fall into that category.
This matter could be trivial or serious. Trivially, it could be seen as just a conflict between juniors. But if blown out of proportion, it might affect the relationships between the Beast Taming Unions of the Four Southern Cities.
Therefore, at this moment, Li Zhe was especially angered and even his look towards Tang Hao in the image bore some of that anger.
“Oh? This is going to be a good show.” The Seven-Colored Cloud Crane suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, moving the ancient mirror slightly, causing the scene within the image to slowly shrink. As the image zoomed out, more of the surroundings came into everyone’s field of vision.
Hmm?
Song Yun had been silent, not intending to meddle in the affairs of the other two city Beast Taming Unions, but now she couldn’t help frowning.
…
Let’s go back a few minutes.
Lin Su’s expression slowly turned cold. Seeing the summoned elite Rock Dwarf and hearing Tang Hao’s threatening words, anger appeared on his face, “You want to make a move against me? Didn’t your Union’s President Li tell you that this is forbidden in the Nirvana Secret Realm?”
“Heh.” Tang Hao let out a cold laugh, “Even if he did say so, it doesn’t matter; they have no idea what’s happening inside the realm. But… you have reminded me.”
A more ruthless look flashed in his eyes, “Originally, I just wanted to eliminate you, but if you talk nonsense after getting out, I wouldn’t have an easy explanation. So…”
Tang Hao drew out his words, his gaze turning strange as he suddenly gave an order to the Rock Dwarf beside him through Telepathy, “Rock Piercing Attack!”
Lin Su was still waiting for the rest of Tang Hao’s sentence when he saw a sudden surge of earthy yellow radiance on the Rock Dwarf and immediately sensed danger, quickly retreating backwards.
The next moment, countless rocky spurs appeared from all directions, piercing through the spot where Lin Su had just been standing over and over again. If Lin Su hadn’t reacted in time, he would have likely been turned into a sieve by the dense rocky spurs.
A drop of cold sweat fell from his forehead, and his eyes were filled with shock and anger.
This guy wanted to kill him!
Confrontations between Beast Tamers on Blue Star were always amicable, with combatants stopping at the lightest hit. He had grown accustomed to this, so he had never considered that someone might harbour lethal intent towards him.
He had been too careless!
This was a lesson from Tang Hao.
This wasn’t Blue Star, and fights between Beast Tamers were bloody!
“Take flight! Frost Storm!” Without hesitation, he threw Qiuqiu, who was in his arms, high into the air, and then rolled to the side to dodge a fast-flying rock, pulling out a steel rod from his Space Ring.
