Back then, Zhang Xuan had learned the Eight Notes of the Heavenly Dragon. As long as it had not reached the level of a Pureblooded Dragon and possessed the bloodline of the Dragon Tribe, he would be able to suppress it easily, rendering it powerless to resist.
As a Saint 8-dan cultivator, he had thought that his roar would not be too effective against the Saint 8-dan Otherworldly Demonic Beast. If he were to fail, he would have expended too much of his energy, and he would have been at the mercy of the Saint 8-dan Otherworldly Demonic Beast. Thus, he had not dared to make a move recklessly. Yet, who could have thought that his roar would still be so powerful?
If he had known that this would happen, he would have called out to him the moment he saw him. That way, he wouldn't have been so passive and nearly been beaten to death on the spot.
"You are … a True Dragon?"
While Zhang Xuan was deep in thought, the convulsing Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast turned its gaze over once more, and deep fear could be seen in its massive eyes.
The hierarchy of the Dragon Tribe's bloodline was extremely strict. Even though it was known as the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast, there was still a huge gap between it and the true Dragon Tribe. For the young man to be able to produce such a pure Eight Notes of the Heavenly Dragon, there was no doubt that he possessed a purer Dragon Bloodline than it.
"Although I am not a Pureblooded Dragon, as long as you submit to me, your bloodline will become purer and you will become stronger!"
Zhang Xuan walked over. From the looks of it, as long as the other party disagreed, he would continue executing the Eight Notes of the Heavenly Dragon to shock the other party to death.
"I submit …"
Without much hesitation, the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast lowered its head.
To be able to produce the Eight Notes of the Heavenly Dragon, even if it wasn't a Pureblooded Dragon, it was definitely related to it. With the suppression of the Pureblooded Dragon's bloodline, not only did Zhang Xuan not feel embarrassed to submit to it, he even felt extremely fortunate.
Only a fool would not grasp such an opportunity.
Seeing that it agreed, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.
He had intended to help Luo Xuanqing find the Dongxu Gourd, but who could have known that he would end up taming a Saint 8-dan beast instead? But this was not a bad thing either. With this, he would be able to walk freely in the Sanctum of Sages, and there was hardly anyone who would be a match for this massive fellow.
…
In the cave, Yuan Xiao carefully and slowly moved forward.
Due to the presence of Saint 8-dan beasts in the cavern, Zhang Xuan did not dare to release his Spiritual Perception or fly. Thus, he could only rely on his physical eyes to search the area. However, due to the sheer size of the cavern, it had already been ten minutes, but he had yet to finish scanning the entire area.
"Why not?"
After walking for a while longer, he returned to the entrance of the cavern and frowned.
He had gone around the entire cavern, but why was there no sign of the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast at all? Could it be that he went out to look for food and didn't come back?
If that was the case, it would be great. He could set up a formation outside the cave, and once the other party returned, he would be able to trigger it and trap it. Then, he wouldn't have to take the risk to attract it.
"Hurry up and inform Luo Xuanqing and the others of this matter!"
Yuan Xiao released his Spiritual Perception and scanned the area. Indeed, he did not find anything, so he quickly rushed out.
He had to inform Luo Xuanqing and the others of this matter as soon as possible.
Squeezing his way out of the cavern, Zhang Xuan was just about to call out to Zhang Xuan when he saw a massive Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast lying on the ground and licking his pants with a fawning look.
"This …"
Yuan Xiao's eyes widened as though he had just seen a ghost, "Zhang Shi … What's going on?"
He was dumbfounded.
He had gone to the cavern to look for the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast, but he was unable to find it. Not only did he see it outside, it was even licking Zhang Xuan's pants … What in the world was going on?
"Oh, the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast was just passing by, and we happened to bump into each other. It just so happened that I was free, so I decided to tame it …"
Zhang Xuan explained.
"Tame it …?"
Yuan Xiao's body swayed weakly, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
The Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast was a Saint 8-dan beast! Even they would flee as far as they could in the face of it. Yet, to tame it … How long did it take?
Ten minutes? Twenty minutes?
In any case, it was still a long way from an hour!
Suppressing the frenzied look on his face, Yuan Xiao asked, "You … are skilled in beast taming as well?"
"I have taken the beast tamer examination!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
Yuan Xiao was rendered speechless.
It was one thing for that fellow to set up formations swiftly, but he was also an apothecary and physician as well … and now, he was even skilled in beast taming as well.
"Let's go and take a look at Brother Luo and the others!"
With the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast out of danger, there was no reason for them to remain in the cavern any longer. Thus, Zhang Xuan waved his hand.
It was one thing for Yuan Xiao to not release his Spiritual Perception when he entered the cavern, and there was a high chance that there was a formation in the surroundings as well. However, given how close Luo Xuanqing and the others were, they did not hear anything at all. Could something have happened?
Thus, the two of them began making their way over to where Luo Xuanqing and the others were.
Before they could even get close, they could already feel a strong gust of wind blowing across the valley, causing massive boulders to tumble about. Seemingly afraid that the commotion would attract even more saint beasts, both sides seemed to be restraining their strength, limiting the flow of their zhenqi to a certain extent.
Circling around the boulder, Zhang Xuan saw two figures exchanging blows in front of him. Each of their moves contained immense might. Even with his strength, just watching for a while made him tremble in fear, not daring to get close.
"He's Zhang Chun?"
Zhang Xuan asked. Recognizing that the other party was Luo Xuanqing, he asked.
The other party was a young man in his thirties. He had a pair of long arms and a pair of black eyebrows. Every single movement he made seemed to carry the might of the heavens. His cultivation was on par with Luo Xuanqing, Saint 7-dan pinnacle.
"Un."
Yuan Xiao nodded in response.
Zhang Xuan took a closer look at the battle.
Just as Yuan Xiao had said, the battle between the two of them was indeed vicious.
It was just that the two of them had a deep understanding of one another, such that they were able to predict each other's moves beforehand. As dangerous as they were, neither of them was able to hurt the other in the slightest.
On the contrary, due to how fast their movements were, it felt as if they were brothers from the same lineage, feeding blows to one another repeatedly.
On the other side of Bi Hongyin and Yun Lianhai stood four men with their arms crossed before their chests, watching the battle with interest in their eyes.
"Why did they start fighting?"
Yuan Xiao walked up to them and asked with a hushed voice.
Didn't they say that they were just putting on a show to stop the other party? Why did they really end up fighting?
"We came over to stop them, but Zhang Chun proposed a duel. He said that the winner would have to tame the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast, and the loser would have to scram. So, they ended up fighting. However, the two of them aren't too far apart, and they are familiar with one another as well. It has been quite some time, but they are still unable to determine a victor! "
Bi Hongyin explained with a frown. "How is it? Where is the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast? Has it been lured over? "
"This …"
Recalling what had happened earlier, Yuan Xiao was at a loss as to how he should respond. Thus, he could only shake his head and say, "You should ask Zhang Shi instead."
Bi Hongyin was perplexed by those words, but she still turned to Zhang Shi and asked, "How is it, Zhang Shi?"
"Oh, I just fought with the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast …"
Zhang Xuan was just about to explain what had happened earlier when he suddenly felt a powerful shockwave surging in front of him. In the air, Zhang Chun abruptly pushed his palms forward and escaped from the battle. A moment later, he turned to look at Zhang Xuan and Yun Lianhai with a look of disbelief on his face and asked, "The two of you are fine?"
The Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast had left in a fit of rage, so how could the two of them possibly return unscathed?
"What do you mean?"
Luo Xuanqing also realized that something was amiss upon seeing Zhang Xuan's expression, so he turned to look at Zhang Xuan.
"Xuanqing, that fellow encountered the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast before coming here, and he intentionally said that you were going to tame it in order to infuriate it. As soon as we come into contact with it, it will attack us!"
Yuan Xiao said.
Zhang Xuan had already explained the matter to Zhang Xuan on the way over, so he knew that he had fallen for the other party's ploy.
"That's right. I encountered the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast earlier, and you intentionally tried to stop me earlier. In truth, I was also trying to stop you as well. I wanted to see just how powerful the berserk Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast was …"
Zhang Chun chuckled softly as he looked at Zhang Xuan and Yun Lianhai doubtfully and asked, "How did the two of you come out unscathed after encountering such a huge fellow? You aren't even injured at all? "
It was no wonder he was perplexed.
The Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast was a Saint 8-dan beast, and even he was unable to withstand its rage. Yet, the two of them were able to return unscathed. This did not make sense at all.
According to his original plan, he would have intentionally stopped Luo Xuanqing from rescuing them. This way, his two companions would surely be injured, and perhaps, they might even lose their fighting prowess. By then, he would be able to lure the Netherworld Azure Dragon Beast over, and not only would he be able to win its goodwill, he would also be able to put the latter in a disadvantageous position.
For the two of them to return just like that, could it be that they had not encountered it?
"You are Zhang Chun?"
Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered to reply.
"That's right. Who are you?"
Zhang Chun frowned in displeasure.
A mere Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle lad actually dared to call him by his name. He sure had guts.
"You don't have to know who I am. I heard that you are interested in the little princess of the Luo Clan. Is that true?"
Zhang Xuan continued.
"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Chun turned to Luo Xuanqing with narrowed eyes and asked, "Luo Xuanqing, is he one of your men?"
"Zhang Shi …"
Hearing that his younger sister was mentioned, Luo Xuanqing also frowned.
"Brother Luo, tell me if he is interested in the little princess of the Luo Clan!"
Zhang Xuan turned to look at Luo Xuanqing and asked.
"Humph, a toad lusting after the flesh of a swan. How could he possibly be a match for my younger sister?"
Luo Xuanqing had no idea what Zhang Xuan was up to, but he still harrumphed in displeasure at the mention of his younger sister.
He had always been displeased with the members of the Zhang clan, and that fellow even dared to harass his younger sister. If not for the fact that they were on par with one another in terms of cultivation, he would have already pummeled the other party to the point that even his own father would not be able to recognize him.
"Since Brother Luo has said so, I don't mind beating him up!"
Zhang Xuan nodded in response.
"Beat me up? You think you can beat me up? "
Zhang Chun was still wondering what the fellow who had popped out of nowhere was up to, but upon hearing that Zhang Xuan was going to beat him up, he burst into laughter.
He was a top-notch expert of the Inner Sanctum, a genius of the Zhang Clan. Who wouldn't tremble in fear before him?
Yet, a Leaving Aperture realm pinnacle lad actually dared to spout such arrogant words … It was as if the other party was looking down on him!
"Zhang Shi …"
Luo Xuanqing was bewildered.
Did Zhang Xuan get pummeled silly earlier?
That was Zhang Chun we are talking about! Even I would find it difficult to defeat him … and yet, you want to beat him up?
"That's right!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
"Very well. Let me see what kind of strength you possess to dare to act so arrogantly!"
Zhang Chun sneered coldly as he raised his hand and grabbed at the air. In an instant, an extremely powerful might enveloped Zhang Xuan.
"Screw you!"
Standing on the spot, Zhang Xuan snapped his fingers.
Roar!
But before Zhang Chun could finish his words, a thirty-meter-long Netherworld Dragon Beast abruptly appeared before everyone, and its thick tail swept across the area.
Peng!
Before Zhang Chun could even process what was going on, he was already sent flying. He crashed head-first into the mountain, creating a massive depression.
