This nine-headed lion was extraordinary, as enormous as a small mountain, bearing an exquisite palace on its back. Within it, several figures with striking auras occasionally appeared. Their bodies were wrapped in runes, truly the aloof descendants of the ancient royal family with noble bloodlines, which took everyone in the vicinity by surprise.
Following the nine-headed lion, another exotic beast with clean, rune-covered skin, and long tusks approached from afar. It was incredibly godlike.
“There are rumors that Little West Heaven has a White Jade Dragon Elephant serving as a guardian sacred beast, isn’t this one its offspring?”
Some people exclaimed, regardless of whether it was the nine-headed lion or the White Jade Dragon Elephant, they were both divine ferocious beasts with extraordinary bloodlines, which were rare to see on an ordinary day.
“Look quickly, a Phoenix Carriage has appeared. It seems to be from the Fire Country. The one who has the privilege of using the Phoenix Carriage as a vehicle might be the Princess Fire Spirit of Fire Country, right?!”
There were exclamations.
As soon as the sound fell, a Palanquin rushed across the horizon, moving as swift as lightening and radiating brilliant light. An exotic blue bird flashing precious light was leading it, emanating a powerful aura that was immensely exceptional.
People were amazed and confused as to why someone of such stature would appear.
However, soon, astonishing news was released. Heaven Mending Pavilion was about to open the Holy Court. It was said that only the most stunning geniuses could enter.
Subsequently, another piece of news was released: that Zhong Tong Shi Yi would also appear to take a look at the Holy Court.
The combination of these two pieces of news instantly caused a sensation, both explosive pieces of information.
The crowd suddenly understood, no wonder even such geniuses would make an appearance. Either piece of news was shocking enough to cause an uproar.
“What’s going on? How come so many people and those ferocious beasts are suddenly here? Just a glance makes my heart palpitate, they must be of unique breeds, wouldn’t it be great if we could catch them all for our village!”
Not far from these young men and women, in an isolated depression of a mountain, more than a dozen figures huddled together, their faces filled with shock.
These were villagers from Liu Village who had ventured out to hunt down a formidable ferocious beast.
They were just matching wits with the beast, but a split glance away, they found themselves suddenly “surrounded” by these young boys and girls who appeared out of nowhere, which left them puzzled.
Especially since these young boys and girls, though young, looked quite striking. Their blood and energy surged even in their tender years, much like fierce beasts.
Most terrifying were those who traveled with great pomp. The mounts beneath them emanated terrifying auras. Each of them was as huge as a small hill, making them, despite the distance, involuntarily tremble with fear.
Their Kirin mounts were equally affected, incessantly shaking their hind hoofs and turning around anxiously. If not for the saddle equipment bestowed by the Willow God some time ago, the Kirin herd might have galloped away in all directions.
“Everyone, be careful not to be found,”
A rough man, who looked to be in his thirties, said in a low voice.
He was sturdy, displaying a brute force around ninety thousand jin with a swing of his arm, which was quite impressive. He had a wealth of experience and was the leader of this hunting team.
But just as he finished, several neatly dressed teenagers seemed to have noticed them and were rushing towards them.
“Who are these barbarians hiding here? Are they bandits intending to ambush us?”
“If my humble self remembers correctly, there seems to be a bandit gang in this area. They usually rob passers-by. Are you them?”
The teenager in the front had runes flashing around him, directly dispelling the dense weeds in front. As soon as the hunters from Liu Village who were hiding behind were exposed, he immediately spoke.
He was a talented individual, his voice resonating with vital energy, causing earache and could be heard very far, drawing significant attention.
This attention included that of the enormous, terrifying nine-headed lion. Figures appeared in the palace on its back, their eyes shining brilliantly, like a scrutinizing Garuda bird.
“We’re just hunters from a nearby village. We’ve been lying here for a long time to hunt down a Golden Armored Rhinocerous – we’re not bandits.”
The leading man stepped forward and spoke, his voice rumbling powerfully, his aura not inferior to the well-dressed teenager.
“Humph, just because you say so, doesn’t mean it’s true. I think you’re making excuses. I’ve crossed here before, and there weren’t any villages nearby!” The well-dressed teenager sneered, “Dare you tell us where your village is?” “What’s there to be afraid of, we all come from Liu Village.” The leading man grinned, speaking confidently.
“More lies! There are only six villages nearby, but there isn’t one called Liu Village. You can’t deceive me, my uncle is the appointee controlling this area and holds the fate of thousands of creatures in his hands.”
The well-dressed teenager chuckled condescendingly, his tone full of conviction.
“We, the people of Liu Village, act uprightly and sit uprightly. What good does it do us to deceive you little brats? There actually are bandits around here, but they were wiped out by Brother Lin long ago.”
The leading man was indignant. Pilloried and doubted repeatedly by a group of teenagers younger than ten, he couldn’t help but get heated.
These brats were even more infuriating than the bear kids in the village. He might have suppressed and taught this noisy little brat a fierce lesson right on the spot if he had a clear understanding of the current situation, showing him what they called a resounding smack down from society.
“This is getting more and more false. That bandit gang supposedly had a Sacrificial Spirit with strength comparable to that of the Five Wheels Hollow Heaven realm. You expect us to believe that you could handle them?” The well-dressed teenager crossed his arms over his chest, his face clearly expressing disbelief.
There were whispering discussions among the crowd. Some weren’t from this area, and some were far away, knowing nothing about the situation here. They were here purely to watch the excitement.
Quite a few people agreed with the well-dressed teenager’s opinion.
If it were, indeed, as the other party said – that the bandit gang had a sacrificial spirit comparable to the Five Wheels Hollow Heaven realm – it would be impossible for this group of people, who appeared to be merely wild country bumpkins, to challenge them even if they had Kirin mounts.
However, in the crowd, there was one figure who differed from the others.
He was a boy, about ten years old, covered in dirt and dust. His beast robe was worn and tattered, making him look like a beggar.
Beside him stood another child of similar age, even more immature. The two were dressed similarly, both appearing wayworn which contrasted sharply with the figures around them.
The former’s eyes were gleaming, looking at a group of men from Liu Village riding Kirin mounts with great astonishment.
“What’s wrong, Brother Shi Hao? Are these people really unusual?” The child who looked even more innocent raised his brows, somewhat puzzled by the behaviour of the teenager beside him, and asked.
“No, it’s just that I might know the Liu Village they’re talking about. Do you believe me, Clear Wind!”
The leading teenager scratched his head, revealing a mouthful of white teeth..
