nOn the Ancient God Plains.

nIn the sprawling palace, the sound of battle was cacophonous, coming and going like waves.

n

n

nThe Beast Tamers who were here were mostly like Ye Qiushan.

nThey had all been walking about the Ancient God Plains.

nThen, all of a sudden, they found themselves in front of this sprawling palace.

nAnd they were gripped by the treasures locked away in this palace.

n

n

nAlthough Ancient God Planet had already been in existence for quite some time, a sprawling palace like this was the first of its kind on Ancient God Planet.

nOn top of that, the Beast Tamers stepping into this palace were not of very high levels.

nThe strongest of them was only at the Dark Iron level.

nIt seemed that every single treasure in this palace had been specifically prepared for these Dark Iron Beast Tamers.

n

n

nAs if someone was out there corralling them into this place.

n“Fang Lan, we have to beware of those Eternal Night Clan Beast Tamers. I can’t shake the feeling that they’re up to no good!” said a young girl to a tall, slim girl beside her. She was dressed in a lovely shade of pink, a young girl with a lovable face, and they were in front of a lake by one of the halls.

n“I got it!”

nFang Lan nodded solemnly. “If we come to blows later, Coco, you have to remember to stay behind me.”

nAfter she said that, she turned to the other of the dozen or so girls beside her and instructed them as well.

nThe group of them looked dainty and pretty, and they were a feast for the eyes.

n

n

nBut in reality, not a single one of them was a vase that would shatter once touched.

nOn the contrary, all of them were students from the best class in the all-girls high school affiliated with Zhongzhou University.

nThe ten or so of them were all juniors.

nDespite that, they were all Dark Iron Beast Tamers—every one of them, without exception.

nWhip!

nAt this moment, an enormous, black Demon Centipede King sneakily stuck its head out from a corner of the palace.

n“Get them!”

nFrom a distance, the lady beside Ye Qiushan noticed that all of the Eternal Night Clan people were ready.

n

n

nImmediately, she raised a hand and waved vigorously.

nThe Eternal Night Clan people who surrounded Fang Lan and the other girls, as well as those around the Silver Horn Beast Tamers, charged towards them in a split second.

nFang Lan had expected them to charge and attack both the Cerulean Planet and Silver Horn Beast Tamers at the same time.

nHowever, contrary to her belief, everyone charged towards her and her girls at the same time.

n“This is bad!”

nFang Lan’s heart seized as she watched the scene unfold.

nShe immediately signalled for the students to let their beasts out and face the Eternal Night Clan Beast Tamers in combat.

n“Friends of the Silver Horn Clan, these Eternal Night Clan Beast Tamers wish to drive us out of this place before they strike at you.

n“They wish to take us down in one fell swoop.

n“We ask of you to fight with us and not fall into their trap.

n“If we retreat, their next targets will definitely be you!”

nFang Lan directed the students by her side as she commanded her own beast.

nAt the same time, she was shouting.

n

n

nShe was reminding the Silver Horn Beast Tamers opposite her.

nDozens of meters away, ten or so Beast Tamers were all looking at each other.

nBefore this, they had already made the preparations to engage in combat.

nThey did not expect the Eternal Night Clan people who had surrounded them so completely to act so unpredictably.

nBefore they struck, all of them suddenly charged towards Fang Lan.

nNot a single one of Eternal Night Clan Beast Tamers moved towards them.

nThis made them hesitate a little.

nThey did not know if they should move.

nWoof!

nAt this time, out in the distance, there were five Demon Arctic Sound Wolves under the Eternal Night Clan Beast Tamers’ control.

nThey walked out from a corner and, in unison, charged towards the Cerulean Planet Beast Tamers.

nAs they approached the ten or did young Cerulean Planet girls, the five Demon Arctic Sound Wolves suddenly let out in unison a howl so incomparably lonely.

nFang Lan and the other teenage Beast Tamers were plunged into a dreamscape along with their beasts in a split second.

nIt felt like they had gone to a sprawling icefield devoid of any human presence.

nUnder such circumstances where they were alone with no help, Demon Icefield Wolves with eyes that glinted blue suddenly appeared around them.

n“Coco!”

nThe moment they plunged into that dreamscape, Fang Lan immediately startled awake from it with a bite of her lip.

nAt the same time, she called out lowly and forcefully shook the adorable young girl beside her.

nAt the same time, this young girl called Coco roused.

n“Silvery Spirit Bamboo!”

nCoco’s heart shook a little, and she summoned the beast she had been saving as a trump card.

nThis beast of hers was, impressively, green bamboo that grew about four to five meters tall.

nThe moment this green bamboo appeared, its many leaves started shaking instantly. There were light glimmering and the pleasing sound of a piano that resonated far and loud.

nIt thoroughly suppressed the howls of the five Demon Icefield Wolves.

nOn top of that, the Beast Tamers and beasts around it felt refreshed, and their aura power multiplied.

nThey pulled away from the dreamscape.

nWhoosh!

nAnd yet, just then, Ye Qiushan and his Demon Centipede King, who both had been hiding away in the corner of the palace, chose this moment to stop hiding.

nIt moved bodily and burrowed out at the speed of light.

nAnd then it came within ten meters of this group of young Beast Tamers.

nWhen it did, it opened its mouth wide and spat out a mouthful of black, poisonous fog at them.

nThis poisonous fog was only about half a meter big when it was first spat out.

nBut as it hurtled forward, it expanded to about ten meters big in an instant.

nShing!

nShing!

nThe leaves on Coco’s Silvery Spirit Bamboo shook when it caught sight of the ball of poisonous fog coming for them.

nThe song that it was singing, the one that lifted spirits, changed in a split second.

nIt transformed into the song of blades.

nAccompanied by that was beams of light given off by the blades careening through the air as they pierced right through the toxic fog spat out by the Demon Centipede King.

nThe swords had all but torn through the toxic fog in a heartbeat.

nBut this toxic fog was YQS’s ultimate move.

nIt might have been ripped apart by the blades, but some of it still fell onto the young Beast Tamers of Cerulean Planet, as well as onto their beasts.

nThey instantly felt all of their strength flow a lot less smoothly and powerfully.

n“Die!”

nFang Lan’s face contorted with rage as she watched this scene unfold.

nShe raised a finger, and her beast, the Greenhill Culpeo, directed its greenlit gaze onto the Demon Centipede King in the distance.

nThis caused the Demon Centipede King’s body to freeze, where it stood instantly.

nWhoosh!

nAt the same time, her other beast, the Sonic Sundering Swordbird, flashed in the sky.

nIt then turned into a sword that beamed radiantly as it appeared right in front of the Demon Centipede King.

nFang Lan’s beast had morphed into a beaming sword that was ready to behead the Demon Centipede King.

nOne of the Eternal Night Clan women with a sharp chin suddenly walked out from the back.

nShe stood in front of the Demon Centipede King.

nThe lady’s movements were rapid.

nBut even more rapid was her beast, the Underworld Swordsman.

nThere was a clang, and then a one-armed swordsman made entirely and only of bones used its sword of bone to parry Fang Lang’s Sonic Sundering Swordbird.

n“It’s you?”

nFang Lan’s eyes widened.

nShe had crossed paths with this lady before.

nAlthough she had the upper hand at that time, she knew this Eternal Night Clan lady’s power was not to be underestimated.

nMuch less now, when they were so outnumbered by the Eternal Night Clan Beast Tamers surrounding them.

n“Little lass, you think I’m just going to let you lay a hand on my younger brother’s beast?”

nThe sharp-chinned Eternal Night Clan lady laughed coldly when she saw Fang Lan looking at her.

nAnd then, she commanded for her Underworld Swordsman to charge quickly at Fang Lan.

nShe also summoned her other beast, the Demon Bone Serpent King.

nThis one she set on Fang Lan and all the rest of them.

n“Go to hell!”

nAt the same time, Ye Qiushan, who had been hiding far away, finally walked out of the darkness.

nHe stood atop his Two-Headed Bat. With a flip of the bat’s wings, he was above Fang Lan and the rest of them.

nScreech!

nThe THB’s two heads let out a horrifying noise at the same time.

nInstantly, one of the young girls from Cerulean Planet felt a splitting headache.

nShe could not help but plunge into a half-conscious state.

nShe could only watch as Ye Qiushan steered the Two-Headed Bat right across her and landed a fist right on her chest. There was a rumble, and then her chest had been beaten in, and she was sent flying bodily back.

n“Wang Yulia!”

nFang Lan, Coco, and the rest were all shocked as they watched it happen.

nBut Ye Qiushan, who had sent this young girl called Wang Yuliu flying bodily with one fist, refused to let her go.

nHe stepped on the back of the Two-Headed Bat, steered it, made it circle a little, and caught up with Wang Yuliu very quickly. He got ready to make the Two-Headed Bat use its claws to completely tear the girl apart right in front of the other Cerulean Planet girls.

nDoong!

nBut at this time, the space in front of Wang Yulia warped.

nAnd then immediately after, a looming figure strode out of it.

n“What the hell?”

nYe Xuan had been transported here by the warped space, and he saw Ye Qiushan standing on his Two-Headed Bat, charging right towards him.

nHis heart stirred when he saw the man.

nThe man seemed rather familiar.

nBut Ye Xuan did not have the time to dwell on it too much or even assess his surroundings.

nFrom his shoulders, Lil Wan saw Ye Qiushan charging towards him, so she waved a hand and lashed out with an Ironwood Royal Vine Whip. It lashed out like a green flying snake, careening towards Ye Qiushan.

n“It’s you!”

nYe Qiushan instantly recognized Ye Xuan, who had suddenly appeared.

nHis face twisted when he saw Ye Xuan, and he immediately steered the Two-Headed Bat to dodge Lil Wan’s attack, speedily flying backwards.

n“What’s going on?”

nBehind, the sharp-chinned Eternal Night Clan lady frowned a little as she watched.

n“Qiuyun, this is the Cerulean Planet guy I was talking about!” Ye Qiushan immediately responded when he heard her question.

n“Oh?”

nThe lady raised a brow when she heard YQS’s response. She looked at Ye Xuan, who was in the distance, and then said, “So you’re the one from Cerulean Planet who scammed my little brother?”

nScammed?

nYe Xuan was stunned.

nHe took a careful look at Ye Qiushan before finally recognizing the other.

n“I didn’t scam him. He’s too useless.”

nYe Xuan laughed coldly after he recognized who Ye Qiushan was.

nAt the same time, he was scanning his surroundings, and he managed to get a good look at the field.

nWhoosh!

nLil Wan saw the collapsed Cerulean Planet girl behind Ye Xuan. She waved a hand.

nA green beam floated and landed on the girl.

nThe young girl’s chest wound quickly healed.

nAt the same time, the blood flowed back into her face in an instant.

nShe was no longer as deathly pale as she had been.

nLil Wan’s Spiritwood technique was most effective when used on a Divine Wood Guard.

nIts effects were a little lesser when used on a body of flesh and blood.

nThat said, it was still a lot better than if it were used on the Tyrannosaurus or even Xu Canchan’s Gigantic Buddha of Metal and Stone.

n“Wuliu!”

nThe students of Zhongzhou University’s affiliated high school rushed over to check up on the young girl. As they watched the scene play out, the gaze they directed at Lil Wan was one of gratitude.

n“You have to be careful, Qiuyun, this guy has another beast, and that beast of his is extremely adept at concealing itself. It can appear beside someone just like that, out of nowhere!” Ye Qiushan instructed his older sister in a small voice. He had returned to stand beside the Eternal Night Clan lady.

n“Extremely adept at concealing itself? Can appear out of nowhere?”

nThe lady’s lips curled up into a smirk when she heard that. She looked at another Eternal Night Clan Beast Tamer.

nThere was a Hundred-Eyed Demon Bug sprawled on this Beast Tamer’s shoulders.

nThis demon bug was the best when it came to perception.

nWith the bug around, not many Dark Iron beasts could evade its detection.

nAnd get close to her.

n
