“Kirin?”
An aged voice came from Sparrow’s mouth, and it was clear that his tone trembled slightly when he uttered those two words.
The other terrifying presences in Ten Thousand Beasts Palace also became agitated after hearing those two words.
“Keep talking!” Sparrow continued.
Zhuge Heng maintained his demeanor, “The professor’s student, who was extradited back from abroad, is in the hands of the Church.”
Those terrifying presences in Ten Thousand Beasts Palace fell silent for a moment. “If he’s in the hands of the Church, that’s not easy to deal with.”
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Heng then laughed, “It’s just that the people of the Church are too useless. Their minds are only filled with thoughts of fame and fortune, and nothing else. This allowed the remnants of the Eternal Night Army to exploit a loophole. During the escort, they snatched the professor’s student!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the terrifying presences in Ten Thousand Beasts Palace all emitted terrifying fluctuations.
“When and where?” The wild boar immediately asked.
Zhuge Heng picked his ear. “That’s another piece of information! Want to know? It’ll cost extra!”
“Speak! What do you want?”
Zhuge Heng pointed at Fang Xin, “After he enrolls, Palace Master Shang will spend one day a week teaching him!”
Palace Master Shang was stunned for a moment, then agreed without hesitation, “Deal!”
“Now can you continue?”
Zhuge Heng continued, “Four days ago, at Dangyin Mountain, the leader of the Eternal Night Army remnants who took the professor’s student is surnamed Kou.”
“Surnamed Kou?” Sparrow’s voice paused, then he exclaimed, “It’s him!!!”
Zhuge Heng snapped his fingers. “I’ve reviewed the interrogation files regarding that professor’s student. She discovered that Kirin divine beast by chance, but she’s very sure that her teacher entrusted that Kirin to his missing favored student! As for its whereabouts, she doesn’t know. However, she participated in the entire research and development process of Honghuang No. 1. I don’t need to tell you all about the power of Honghuang No. 1, do I?”
The terrifying presences in Ten Thousand Beasts Palace fell into a brief silence, but it was clear that they each had their own thoughts, especially the wild boar, whose crimson eyes clearly conveyed one word.
Snatch!
The White Tiger and the Seven-Colored Bird exchanged glances, then looked to Sparrow for his opinion.
Zhuge Heng was not in a hurry, observing these presences quietly.
Fang Xin looked at these big shots with eager eyes, feeling like a small, helpless newcomer caught among many powerful figures.
The most uncomfortable part was...
He knew what these big shots were looking for.
All the formulas for Honghuang No. 1 were in the diary he had obtained earlier.
Now he truly felt like a common man who possessed a treasure, bringing trouble upon himself.
Scared (wry smile)
Although the silence lasted only a few seconds, each second passed incredibly slowly.
Sparrow was the first to break the silence, “Little brat of the Zhuge family, this news is indeed very good.”
“Then we’re leaving?”
“Wait a moment!” Sparrow spoke again.
Zhuge Heng stopped, slowly turning his head, “Old Palace Master, is there anything else?”
Sparrow’s wings vibrated, and the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain treasure appeared in thin air for a moment, and a large white bear appeared before Fang Xin.
“You’re Fang Xin, right?”
“Yes!”
Sparrow smiled kindly, “This Blazing Flame Bear is my gift to you!”
Fang Xin saw that this was precisely the bear Zhuge Heng had asked him to choose earlier.
He glanced at Zhuge Heng, asking if he should accept it. Zhuge Heng smiled, “State your conditions!”
“There are no conditions, just consider it building good karma. Of course, if you encounter disciples of our Ten Thousand Beasts Palace in trouble outside in the future, help them if you can. That would also be considered building good karma with our Ten Thousand Beasts Palace.”
Zhuge Heng tilted his head and looked at Fang Xin, smiling, “Say thank you!”
“Thank you, Old Palace Master!”
The Old Palace Master smiled kindly, “Come visit Ten Thousand Beasts Palace more often when you have time! If you have any questions about Beast Taming, you can also come to me anytime!”
“Okay, Old Palace Master!”
“Let’s go!” Zhuge Heng snapped his fingers.
With a blur, the two vanished from the spot.
The wild boar looked at the place where they disappeared, a rough, resentful growl emanating from his throat, “Just like that, we watched him take away such a promising talent?”
A woman’s voice came from the Seven-Colored Bird, “If we forcibly kept him, that white-haired guy definitely wouldn’t let it go. Once we started fighting, all of us here combined could indeed seriously injure him, but then Ten Thousand Beasts Palace would face the wrath of both the Zhuge family and the Ninth Division. Ten Thousand Beasts Palace cannot afford that!”
White steam puffed from the wild boar’s nostrils.
“The Kirin matter...”
Sparrow’s voice turned cold, “Investigate. Go to Dangyin Mountain to look for clues, and find a way to snatch that professor’s student from the Eternal Night Army! Honghuang No. 1 is too important to our Ten Thousand Beasts Palace!”
The scenery changed several times.
Fang Xin appeared in his bedroom.
Zhuge Heng picked up a bag of potato chips from the table and took a bite.
“I’ve already submitted that centipede for you, and the corresponding points will be issued to you. I’ve opened a new space and put this bear inside. Take this small spatial orb. Once your level is high enough to control it, crush this small orb, and the bear will appear before you.”
Zhuge Heng flicked his finger, and a small spatial orb appeared before him. Fang Xin took it. “If I crush this, will you appear before me?”
Zhuge Heng was amused, “Are you getting addicted to freeloading off me, kid?”
Fang Xin chuckled awkwardly, “Can you appear precisely before me at any time?”
“If I can determine your exact location, with spatial coordinates, yes!”
Fang Xin nodded, “I see.”
“Any other questions?”
“No!”
“I have other matters, so I’m leaving. Call me if anything comes up. Oh, right, this decapitation operation will last for half a month. Remember to replenish your energy during the day. I’ll call you sharp at 1 AM tomorrow!”
After speaking, Zhuge Heng disappeared.
Fang Xin lay on his bed, letting out a sigh.
Too much had happened tonight.
Outside the window, occasional sounds could still be heard. Fang Xin looked at the sky; the dome that had been covering Lan City was gone.
It seemed tonight’s operation was over.
Fang Xin lay for a while.
His thoughts returned to the two wolves.
Previously, he had only used his Beast Taming Talent to control the two wolves.
But his Slaughter Talent clearly had a stronger affinity with the two wolves as well.
Fang Xin sat up again and raised his arm.
Two streams of light, one black and one white, appeared out of thin air.
The two wolves sat before Fang Xin.
Of these two wolves, the black wolf possessed a speed-type talent, and the white wolf had a mental-type talent. They could cooperate in attacks.
Moreover, this black wolf also had an instant kill skill; it would gather all its strength and deliver a devastating instant kill to the enemy at an incredibly fast speed. However, the wind-up for releasing the skill was a bit long. The white wolf, with its mental-type talent, could precisely use its Mental Talent to slow down the enemy, compensating for the black wolf’s long wind-up and paving the way for its instant kill.
To prevent that white-haired Zhuge Heng from suddenly appearing.
Fang Xin dismissed the two wolves, then quietly flipped out of the window and slipped into a park two miles away.
He activated his Slaughter Talent, and individual Slaughter Runes reappeared on the back of his hand, four of which were particularly crimson.
The two wolves sat before Fang Xin, heads bowed, as if they were two wolf generals following Fang Xin’s every command.
Just as Fang Xin’s palm touched the two wolves...
