Celestial Beast Taming

Chapter 140: Chapter 103: How Did You Find This Place?

Xu Zhi frowned slightly upon hearing this.

”I remember Pang Long went to Cloud Concealing Mountain to deal with the rioting Third Level Secret Realm. Why is he back in Starlight City at a time like this?”

Wang Xin quickly replied.

”Commander Pang heard that you two had entered the Ice Cave Secret Realm and rushed over to check on the situation.”

If it were any other day, Wang Xin would have done everything in his power to make a good impression on a Celestial Destiny Seeker like Xu Zhi.

But this time, with the safety of two Celestial Destiny Seekers on the line, Wang Xin just wanted to make himself scarce, terrified he would get caught in the fallout.

Pang Long, the Commander of the Starlight Army’s 42nd Legion—a man known for his rigid personality and lack of tact—had undoubtedly come here at this time for the very same reason.

Wang Xin was Pang Long’s subordinate, and he desperately hoped You Weiwei would agree to see Pang Long.

Otherwise, with him constantly at Lord Xu Zhi’s side, Commander Pang wouldn’t even be granted an audience.

He would most likely face Pang Long’s wrath in the future!

You Weiwei had no desire to see some Pang Long, Li Long, or Zhao Long...

You Weiwei’s heart was currently completely focused on Zhong Yi and Shen Xuan inside the Ice Cave Secret Realm.

Especially since Pang Long was supposed to be at Cloud Concealing Mountain, overseeing the cleanup of the rioting Third Level Secret Realm.

For a Commander to not be there holding the line... what sort of behavior was that?

Just as You Weiwei was about to tell Wang Xin to send Pang Long away, the layer of violent Energy enveloping the previously turbulent Secret Realm Gate suddenly vanished.

The entire Ice Cave Secret Realm stabilized.

This change indicated that the Ice Cave Secret Realm’s exploration level had reached sixty percent, meaning it was no longer in danger of rioting.

It had become a stable Secret Realm, one that Adventurers could freely enter to harvest its resources.

The expression on You Weiwei’s face was stunned for a mere moment before being replaced by a look of profound joy.

Right now, the only ones inside this Ice Cave Secret Realm were Zhong Yi, Shen Xuan, and their party.

It had to be Zhong Yi, Shen Xuan, and the others who had raised the exploration level of this Ice Cave Secret Realm to sixty percent.

To raise the Ice Cave Secret Realm’s exploration level to sixty percent in just over a day.

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes but had merely heard it from someone else, You Weiwei would never have believed it.

In high spirits, You Weiwei thought to herself,

’I really underestimated Zhong Yi and Shen Xuan’s strength.’

Being able to grind the exploration level of the Ice Cave Secret Realm to sixty percent meant that Zhong Yi and Shen Xuan had the Ability to leave it whenever they chose.

You Weiwei turned to Wang Xin, who was standing beside her, and said,

”Didn’t you say Pang Long wanted to see me? Have him come over.”

”This First Level Ice Cave Secret Realm is stable now. The Starlight Army troops garrisoned here can all be withdrawn.”

Wang Xin heard her and quickly said,

”Lord Xu Zhi, I’ll arrange for the patrol teams to withdraw and inform Commander Pang to come over right away.”

’Once I’ve ordered the patrols to withdraw and Commander Pang has met with Lord Xu Zhi, I won’t have any reason to stay here anymore.’

Before leaving, Wang Xin glanced back at the entrance to the Ice Cave Secret Realm, his expression still one of disbelief.

He was still trying to process the fact that Zhong Yi’s party of four had entered the Ice Cave Secret Realm and, in just over a day, raised the exploration level of the on-the-verge-of-rioting Secret Realm to sixty percent.

You Weiwei immediately relayed the news to Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao.

This allowed Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao to let go of half the worry that had been weighing on their hearts.

The reason they were only half-relieved was because Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao knew very well...

...that Zhong Yi most likely intended to face the Secret Realm’s Leader Level creature.

They just hoped the Leader Level creature of this First Level Ice Cave Secret Realm wasn’t Prince Snow Ape.

Back in the day, when Frost Day was exploring a First Level Ice Cave Secret Realm, he had nearly perished at the hands of the Leader Level creature, Prince Snow Ape.

...even though Prince Snow Ape was only in its Juvenile Stage in a First Level Ice Cave Secret Realm.

A Prince Snow Ape that could reach the Extraordinary Tier Peak in its Juvenile Stage, surrounded by a horde of Snowstorm Apes and Ice Storm Apes, was still a bit too overpowered.

”Zhuo, don’t worry. Xiaoyi and the others might not have such bad luck.”

”I’m sure they know their limits when it comes to challenging the Secret Realm’s Leader Level creature.”

”Didn’t you say the Evil Blood Sect has taken the initiative to contact the Ghost Suppression Bureau several more times? Don’t let Liao Zhou get too anxious and change his mind.”

”The Ghost Suppression Bureau should give them a reply.”

Because Zhong Yi and Shen Xuan had entered the Ice Cave Secret Realm, Lin Zhuo’s mind hadn’t been on the Evil Blood Sect at all for the past few days.

Even though he had already decided to accept the Evil Blood Sect’s surrender, he still hadn’t sent anyone to inform Liao Zhou.

Liao Zhou, the new Sect Leader of the Evil Blood Sect, had proactively contacted the Ghost Suppression Bureau several times in the past day.

He clearly couldn’t wait any longer!

”Ah Tao, the spiders created by that Mythical Tier Bizarre creature in the Upper and Lower City Districts are still monitoring the city.”

”We don’t know the specific reconnaissance capabilities of these black spiders—whether they detect images, sounds, or something else entirely.”

”It’s not convenient for the Ghost Suppression Bureau to contact the Evil Blood Sect directly, lest we alert the enemy.”

”After all, when the Evil Blood Sect contacted us, they specifically mentioned that a Mythical Tier Bizarre creature had approached them.”

”You have an informant planted within the Evil Blood Sect, so you go inform Liao Zhou.”

And just as Lin Zhuo had thought, ever since Liao Zhou had contacted the Ghost Suppression Bureau to express his desire to surrender, he had been waiting for their reply.

Lately, the Ghost Suppression Bureau had been cracking down on the Bizarre in the Lower City District with increasing intensity, and Liao Zhou was terrified that the Evil Blood Sect had already become one of their designated targets.

If that were the case, his move to surrender on behalf of the Evil Blood Sect would have instead exposed them right under the Ghost Suppression Bureau’s nose, essentially reminding the Bureau to take action against them.
