Chapter 1348: Chapter 1348: Arrival
On the surface, they seemed to be talking happily, but each had their own thoughts.
Su Yuanyuan already knew a lot about their thoughts and news of the Beast Taming Sect.
She was very curious about the god-like existence in the mountains behind the Beast Taming Sect.
It was likely they wouldn’t have the chance to see it; for the few people present, the mountains were both a taboo and a source of support.
After the banquet ended, they knew that tomorrow they could retrieve the Vermilion Bird.
Su Yuanyuan was also quite curious about the Vermilion Bird; they would be able to see it tomorrow.
The family returned to the small courtyard, "Young one, there’s a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator monitoring here, be careful."
"Senior, are you awake?"
"Can I still sleep?"
Su Yuanyuan was indeed stumped by the question, she realized she was in a state neither human nor ghost.
"Senior, what is the god they mentioned regarding the mountains?"
"If my guess is correct, it should be that Qiong Qi."
"Qiong Qi? Isn’t that a Fierce Beast?"
"Yes, when I was alive, I heard that the Beast Taming Sect had a Qiong Qi, but it was never confirmed. The Beast Taming Sect has been quite peaceful, nothing seemed out of the ordinary."
"Senior, there won’t be any danger, right?"
"Danger? There certainly is danger. But hasn’t it been quiet for all these years without any reported anomalies?"
Su Yuanyuan understood that the entire place must be a taboo for the Beast Taming Sect.
Today she heard the inner thoughts of Golden Core Cultivators and Foundation Establishment Cultivators; they didn’t know that the god in the mountains was Qiong Qi. Perhaps the higher-ups knew more?
She wondered if there was any chance to meet the cultivators above Nascent Soul Stage here?
It’s probably impossible, because their qualifications are too low.
The next day, the party gathered at Liu Xiushan’s small courtyard to set off. After all, the Vermilion Bird was a Divine Beast, and the circumstances required appropriate grandeur.
Su Yuanyuan was indifferent, likely thinking the Vermilion Bird considered itself a part of the Beast Taming Sect now. What purpose would a spirit beast like this serve? Just a louder title.
There was nothing to explain, everything that needed saying had already been said.
Two late-stage Foundation Establishment stewards personally arrived to greet them.
Su Yuanyuan followed the team and felt that there really wasn’t much to it here. What was the need for such formality?
Now, listening to the cultivators’ thoughts here, there was nothing special.
It seems they truly don’t know much about Qiong Qi.
They arrived at a hall. Su Yuanyuan immediately recognized the one seated above as the Great Elder of the Beast Taming Sect, True Monarch Jing Ling, a late-stage Nascent Soul.
Quickly reading his thoughts, the more Su Yuanyuan listened, the more fearful she became, just standing there with her head bowed.
This True Monarch Jing Ling really knew too much; Su Yuanyuan even learned of several Ancient Cultivators’ abodes from him, and where his treasures were hidden.
Su Yuanyuan thought they could perhaps make a trip after returning. The collection of a Nascent Soul True Monarch must be very rich, right?
Moreover, his dirty thoughts truly confirmed the thoughts of several Foundation Establishment Cultivators; they were indeed planning an ambush on the road.
Regarding the Vermilion Bird, under True Monarch Jing Ling’s effort, it had now betrayed them. This time was just for show.
Su Yuanyuan sneered, as she had expected, it couldn’t be trusted. Then again, the Vermilion Bird wasn’t raised by Xuantian Sect, so it couldn’t be said to be untrustworthy.
Master Xiushan and True Monarch Jing Ling exchanged pleasantries, as Su Yuanyuan saw a red sparrow fly out of the Great Elder’s bracelet.
Su Yuanyuan glanced at it, full of disdain, thinking it was useless.
"Nephew, the Vermilion Bird has been with me for a hundred years. Be sure to treat it with care when you take it back."
"Rest assured, True Monarch Jing Ling, I will go back and explain clearly."
"That’s good, nephew, I won’t keep you here, return safely and be cautious on the road."
Liu Xiushan and his group bowed before True Monarch Jing Ling disappeared with a smile. At that moment, Liu Xiushan mouthed a few formulas to the Vermilion Bird.
Su Yuanyuan was delighted, realizing the sect had kept a back-up plan. The little one. Betrayal would certainly lead to a bad end.
She sensed the Vermilion Bird’s reluctance, but it still entered the Spirit Beast Ring, though it wasn’t the one given by True Monarch Jing Ling, but Liu Xiushan’s own.
After capturing the Vermilion Bird, Liu Xiushan exchanged a few polite words.
The group was escorted out of the Beast Taming Sect.
Su Yuanyuan was no longer tense, mainly because they were on the Beast Taming Sect’s territory, they wouldn’t be in trouble.
Holding the hands of her two sons, she awaited Wei Qiling who had intentions of targeting her sons. She hoped he might appear.
As for Li Xiang, who wanted to become the children’s mother, she wished they’d all show up.
Su Yuanyuan communicated via Sound Transmission Talisman to Tan Shaoting about Li Xiang’s intentions.
She watched Tan Shaoting shake, amused, smiling behind him. He really couldn’t bear it.
After leaving the Beast Taming Sect’s territory, Liu Xiushan released the Flying Boat. The group quickly boarded because it was after this point, all the way to the sect, that would be the most dangerous.
Everyone was fully alert and cautious. Su Yuanyuan knew nothing would happen here.
Liu Xiushan sat steadily in the room, having already sent messages. Judging by True Monarch Jing Ling’s intentions, this time the dispatched cultivators would be of high level.
A moment later, he received the Ten Thousand Miles Sound Transmission Talisman. This special talisman reveals no information even if intercepted; it requires a Secret Technique to unlock.
After listening to the message, Liu Xiushan immediately executed orders.
Everyone gathered on the deck. "Now, as the situation is clear to all of you, split into groups of three to return to the sect. Remember, be cautious."
This arrangement by Liu Xiushan dispersed attention significantly, thus reducing his pressure enormously.
The named cultivators left, leaving behind Tan Shaoting’s family.
Liu Xiushan handed the Spirit Beast Bracelet to Su Yuanyuan.
"Your family must be extra cautious. Although I swapped the Beast Rings, the Vermilion Bird may send out messages."
Su Yuanyuan took the Beast Ring and directly placed it into her storage ring; even the children didn’t ask for this High-level Storage Ring.
Liu Xiushan immediately lost the sense of the Beast Ring’s presence.
"Travel safely."
The four of them boarded the Flying Boat. It was their first time using it after purchasing the Flying Artifact.
Since it was only their family, Su Yuanyuan stored the two children away. Now it’s just the couple on the Flying Boat.
"Yuanyuan, do you think the Beast Taming Sect will notice?"
Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "Even if the Beast Taming Sect doesn’t notice, Li Xiang will come. She waits to kill me, seize you and the two kids."
Tan Shaoting’s face was full of helplessness. That woman must be crazy, right? How could she even have such thoughts? Did she really consider him a pretty boy?
