By the time Ji Tianxing repaired the damaged Illusionary Spirit Array, it was already late at night.
He and the little black dragon hid on a big tree at the edge of the open space, silently waiting for the arrival of their prey.
Under the dark night sky, the mountain peak was silent. Only the constant roars of beasts could be heard from the distant mountains.
Ji Tianxing laid on the tree branch and closed his eyes to rest. The little black dragon opened its big round eyes and stared at the surroundings of the Illusionary Spirit Array.
Four hours passed by quickly.
There was still no movement on the mountain peak, and there were no traces of spiritual beasts.
It was only until dawn when the little black dragon was tired that there was movement on the mountain peak.
A Dust Star Lion with dark silver fur carefully came out from the forest and slowly approached the Illusionary Spirit Array.
This Dust Star Lion was very muscular and was as big as a cow. Its fur was as hard as needles and was shining with a faint silver light.
It looked around vigilantly and circled around a few millstone stones. After making sure there was no danger, it stepped into the Illusionary Spirit Array.
At this moment, Ji Tianxing had already noticed the Dust Star Lion's movement and was staring at its movements.
In the blink of an eye, the Illusionary Spirit Array was triggered by the Dust Star Lion. A golden light screen lit up and enveloped a radius of 20 meters.
The Dust Star Lion was trapped in the golden light screen and was suppressed by the invisible power of the array. It could not move at all and let out a low roar of panic and anger.
Ji Tianxing jumped down from the big tree and hurried to the Illusionary Spirit Array. He revealed a relieved smile.
"Dust Star Lion, third level spiritual beast, it's you!"
This Dust Star Lion's ability was equivalent to a martial artist at Level 7 or 8 of the Mystic Comprehending Realm. Ji Tianxing was definitely not its match.
However, he made use of the Illusionary Spirit Array to trap the Dust Star Lion in the array and firmly suppress it.
The Dust Star Lion struggled with all its might and its strength was constantly depleted. However, it was still unable to break free and escape.
After four hours, the Dust Star Lion was suppressed to the point of being unable to speak. Its strength was finally exhausted and it laid on the ground weakly, panting continuously.
At this moment, Ji Tianxing removed the Illusionary Spirit Array and knocked the Dust Star Lion unconscious before keeping it in the Hundred Treasures Brocade Pouch.
"We've finally succeeded. Little Black Dragon, let's go!"
Ji Tianxing tied the Hundred Treasures Brocade Pouch to his belt and rode the little black dragon into the sky, returning to the Sky Pillar Sect.
When he returned to the Sky Bearing Sect and rushed to the Spirit Beast Hall, it was already close to noon.
He entered the main hall of the Spirit Beast Hall and waited for a while before Elder Wu and Deacon Xiang rushed over upon hearing the news.
When Elder Wu saw him, his eyes were filled with astonishment. He asked in disbelief, "Ji Tianxing, you've caught a Rank Three spirit beast in just two days?"
"That's right." Ji Tianxing nodded calmly.
He opened his Hundred Treasures Brocade Pouch and took out the still unconscious Dust Starlion, placing it on the floor of the main hall.
Elder Wu and Xiang Wu stared at the Dust Star Lion that was as large as a cow, its entire body glittering with silver light, and carefully sized it up.
Ji Tianxing said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Elder Wu, I have already fulfilled my promise. Can you return Qian Yue to me now?"
Elder Wu and Xiang Wu looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.
"Deacon Xiang, check this Dust Star Lion. If there's no problem, send it to the Beast Garden."
Elder Wu wasn't in a hurry to reply to Ji Tianxing and first gave an order to Xiang Wu.
Xiang Wu obeyed and carefully checked the Dust Star Lion's condition.
When he confirmed that the Dust Star Lion was only knocked unconscious and didn't have any injuries, he got someone to carry the Dust Star Lion out of the main hall and rushed to the Beast Garden.
Elder Wu also took the iron cage from the study room and opened it in front of Ji Tianxing, releasing Qian Yue.
Qian Yue had been locked up for two days and had been sleeping in the iron cage out of boredom.
Now that it had finally regained its freedom, it excitedly flew out of the iron cage and returned to Ji Tianxing's side.
It looked at Ji Tianxing with bright eyes and said with joy, "Old Ji, thank you! You're too kind! "
"You must have suffered a lot these two days, right? Did you encounter any danger? "
Ji Tianxing rubbed its little head and said with a smile, "What danger can there be? You, on the other hand, still know how to worry about me. I didn't dote on you for nothing! "
Elder Wu stroked his beard and nodded slightly, "Ji Tianxing, since you can fulfill your promise, then this matter is written off. You can leave now."
"Many thanks, Elder Wu. Farewell!" Ji Tianxing cupped his hands and bowed to him. He brought Qian Yue and left the main hall, returning to Tianxing Courtyard.
Elder Wu stood at the entrance of the main hall and looked at Ji Tianxing's back view. A complicated expression flashed across his eyes.
Not long after, Xiang Wu also settled the Dust Star Lion and returned to the main hall.
He walked to Elder Wu's side and hesitated for a moment before asking in a low voice, "Elder, we found hidden weapons and flying needles in the Shadow Leopard's body. Have you told Ji Tianxing about this?"
Elder Wu shook his head and said with a complicated expression, "After you reported this to me, I went to have a private discussion with the Sect Leader."
"After the Sect Leader knew about this, he told me not to bother about the twists and turns in this matter and let Ji Tianxing solve it himself."
"After all, Ji Tian Xing has only joined the sect for three months, and he's already become the sect leader's personal disciple. It's really too dazzling, and it'll definitely attract the jealousy and hostility of many people."
"Although there is a mystery behind this matter, there will definitely be more similar things happening in the future. It's impossible for the Sect Leader to personally help Ji Tianxing solve this problem. He can only rely on himself to solve it. "
Speaking of this, Elder Wu sighed and felt a little emotional.
"Just like the Chief Disciple Yun Yao, she seems to have been doing well in the past few years and is famous in the Tianchen Territory. She is respected by the younger generation of disciples."
"In fact, Yun Yao has suffered a lot of criticism, jealousy, and targeting. She has also suffered a lot to get to where she is today."
Xiang Wu frowned and asked in confusion, "But Ji Tianxing is too weak. He is far from being as powerful as Yun Yao. How can he deal with the other inner disciples?"
"Haha, this is not something you and I can worry about."
Elder Wu chuckled and said in a serious tone, "The Sect Leader is very confident in Ji Tianxing and has been paying attention to his every move!"
"The Sect Leader also said that Ji Tianxing still has a long way to go and needs more training if he wants to become a powerhouse and convince the other genius disciples."
"As long as things don't go too far, the Sect will not interfere in the competition between elite disciples."
"Judging from the Sect Leader's attitude towards Ji Tianxing, it seems like he thinks highly of him and wants to nurture him with all his might!"
After Xiang Wu heard that, he nodded with a serious expression and said, "I see!"
"Ji Tianxing is only at the Second Stage of the Mystic Comprehending Realm, but he can capture the Dust Star Lion so quickly. He is indeed extraordinary and has great potential."
