"Uh …"
Zhang Xuan didn't expect the Dongxu Gourd to be so fearsome if it really wanted to make a move. He stood rooted to the spot, not knowing what to do.
Zhang Xuan had attempted to execute his Sword Intent several times, but to no avail. As such, before he could even test out how powerful he was, the other party was already on the verge of death.
"Hehe!"
After knocking down the Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix, Zhang Xuan flicked the Dongxu Gourd lightly, and the massive immortal beast on the ground spurted a mouthful of blood.
Twisting its body, the gourd gulped down the blood.
"What are you doing …"
Feeling its body growing weaker and weaker, the Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix began to tremble in fear. It tried to get up, but it realized that the Dongxu Gourd on its back was like a mountain, crushing down on it. No matter how it tried, it was unable to move at all.
"Be good, let me drink some …"
The gourd wriggled for a moment before continuing to gulp down the food.
Seeing that the Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix was losing so much blood that it was on the verge of death, it hurriedly raised its head to look at Zhang Xuan and said, "I'll acknowledge you as my master … I'll acknowledge you as my master …"
He had no choice but to admit it!
Although it was very proud, it could not withstand this strange gourd!
Not only could it devour flames, it could even devour blood …
If he didn't submit now, it wouldn't take long for him to be devoured. He wouldn't even know how he died.
If it had been in the past, they would have rather died than submit due to their pride. However, now that their boss, the Serpentine Dragon, had submitted to them, it was no longer embarrassing for them to have one more …
"Master?"
Zhang Xuan scratched his head.
He was still thinking of using the Beast Pummeling Taming Method to tame the other party within thirty breaths, but who could have thought that the Dongxu Gourd would be able to subdue the other party in less than fifteen breaths?
"Let's stop first!"
He walked up to the gourd and instructed it.
"Ugh!"
The gourd shook a little and burped.
"Master, let me digest this first. We'll talk about it later …"
After saying those words, his figure flickered and disappeared once more. In the next moment, he reappeared in his dantian, snoring loudly.
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was still as unreliable as ever, Zhang Xuan shook his head. With a tap of his finger, he completed the Master Acknowledgement Ceremony.
"What about you?"
After dealing with the two Holy Beasts, Zhang Xuan barely made a move. He looked at the sky again, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
The White-eared Fox had yet to return, leaving only the Seven-tailed Saber-Toothed Tiger.
At this moment, this guy's heart was crumbling.
In the Ascendant Cloud Mountain, it was only ranked third. Compared to the two before it, the Serpentine Dragon and the Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix didn't even last a minute before submitting to it. It was at a complete loss as to what it should do!
Was it submission? Or not?
If he refused to submit, there was a chance that he would end up like the other two bosses before him, beaten to the ground, or even having his flesh sliced off and his blood drained … But acknowledging him as his master with just a few words was simply too embarrassing!
"You used the Eight Notes of the Heavenly Dragon to make the Flood Dragon submit to you, and you used a magical treasure to make the Heavenly Phoenix Minister submit to you … I want to fight you with my true strength. If you can defeat me … I'll submit!"
The Seven-tailed Swordfang Tiger said with gritted teeth.
"Fight? Alright! "
Heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Xuan leaped into the air once more. With a flick of his sword, the Gods' Sword Intent that he had been suppressing for a very long time burst forth.
There was no sword shadow or sword technique, but the Tongshang Sword suddenly appeared in front of the Seven-tailed Swordfang Tiger.
Puhe!
In just an instant, the Tongshang Sword severed all of its fangs, and its nose was lacerated by the sharp sword qi as well, causing blood to spurt from its mouth.
"I'm done! I'll acknowledge you as my master!"
The Seven-tailed Swordfang Tiger said anxiously as cold sweat trickled down its back.
It had thought that the other party was only relying on unorthodox means, but who could have thought that the other party's true swordsmanship would be so fearsome?
If it had not shouted fast enough, putting aside its fangs, it might have lost its head as well.
The Flood Dragon and the Nine-headed Fiery Phoenix also gulped down a mouthful of saliva.
They had thought that the master whom they had just submitted to was only skilled in the Eight Notes of the Heavenly Dragon and possessed a powerful artifact, but upon seeing this sight, they realized that …
Even without those two artifacts, they were no match for the other party in terms of fighting prowess!
That sword was simply too powerful. It carried a profound power that they were unable to comprehend, making them unable to withstand it at all.
Hu!
The formation dissipated.
Thirty breaths of time was up!
"He has tamed all three immortal beasts?"
"In total, it has only been two minutes?"
Seeing that the Seven-tailed Swordfang Tiger had successfully acknowledged him as its master, Elder Liao and the others went into a frenzy.
They were the top-notch elders of the number one beast taming sect in the world, the Myriad Beasts Hall!
They had cooperated with Elder Yuan, who could very well become the next hall master, to tame the beasts …
Their group had been completely wiped out, and Elder Yuan was still fooled by the White-eared Fox. Yet, the middle-aged man before them had already tamed all three of the immortal beasts …
Were they from the Myriad Beasts Hall or were they from the Myriad Beasts Hall?
Why did it feel like they were so much weaker than the other party in terms of beast taming?
In an instant, everyone felt stifled, and they found themselves unable to speak.
With a bitter smile, Elder Liao said, "The hall master has said that regardless of whether it's Elder Yuan or Elder Liu, whoever manages to tame one of the four immortal beasts first will be qualified to inherit the position of the next hall master … Now that one of them is dead, and the other one has been fooled by the White-eared Fox … How are we supposed to explain this matter to the elders?"
"The main reason why the hall master came up with this problem is to test the future generations. He hopes that the successor will be able to win the respect of the crowd in terms of beast taming and strength … Both Elder Yuan and Elder Liu have failed, but the middle-aged man has succeeded!"
One of the elders said with a hushed voice.
"What do you mean by that?"
Elder Liao and the other elders turned their gazes over.
"It's simple. If the middle-aged man doesn't belong to a sect, we can easily recruit him into the Myriad Beasts Hall. As long as he becomes an elder of the Myriad Beasts Hall, given his incredible beast taming skills and the fact that he was able to defeat a Heavenly High Immortal despite being at the Heavenly True Immortal realm, who would dare say anything about him becoming the hall master?"
The elder from before said.
"This …"
The crowd fell silent.
Indeed.
The greatest strength of the Myriad Beasts Hall was beast taming.
Yet, the middle-aged man before them had already surpassed all of them. His beast taming skills were far superior to their hall master's!
If such a figure did not belong to their own sect, how could the Myriad Beasts Hall face the world in the future?
"We have to pull him over to our Myriad Beasts Hall!"
Elder Liao nodded in agreement.
"Un!"
The crowd nodded in agreement.
Having made up his mind, Elder Liao did not hesitate at all. Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Xuan suddenly walked up to him and said, "Everyone, I have already tamed them, so they won't make a move on you anymore. You may leave now … However, before you leave, there's a matter that I would like to trouble you with.
"You have saved our lives, so feel free to ask us anything. We won't turn you down!"
Elder Liao quickly bowed.
If not for Zhang Xuan, they would have been tortured to death by the three immortal beasts by now.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he had saved their lives.
"I'm a low-profile person, so I don't like to reveal my identity. So, I hope that you can keep your mouths shut after you leave," Zhang Xuan said.
The Gods' Sword Intent that he had executed earlier had displayed incredible prowess. With a single move, he had managed to subdue the Seven-tailed Swordfang Tiger. Even though he had used it discreetly, there would still be people who would notice it if news were to leak out.
If the Hall of Gods were to learn of it, they would be in grave danger.
Thus, it would be best for them not to spread the news.
"This …"
Elder Liao and the others were still wondering what Zhang Xuan was going to ask of them, but upon hearing that it was just this, they couldn't help but feel impressed.
If they had tamed a king from the Ascendant Cloud Mountain, they would have spread the news to the entire world. Yet, despite taming three of them in a single breath, Zhang Xuan did not feel the slightest bit of pride at all.
His low-profile and composed personality was truly admirable!
"May I know how I should address you?"
Elder Liao asked curiously.
"I am Zhang …"
Zhang Xuan was just about to say his name when he suddenly realized that the Hall of Gods might have already learned of his identity. Thus, he hesitated for a moment before replying, "I am Zheng Yang!"
It was impossible for him to come up with a name on the spur of the moment, so he decided to use his student's name instead.
In any case, he was still on the Master Teacher Continent, so no one would know of his name.
"So, it's Brother Zheng Yang …"
Elder Liao racked his brains for a long time, but he was unable to recall where he had heard this name before. Unable to suppress his curiosity, he asked, "May I know which sect Brother Zheng Yang is currently cultivating in?"
It would be best to first understand the other party's background.
"I am just an unaffiliated cultivator."
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Even though he was an elder of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, he couldn't reveal his identity. Furthermore, he was currently using a fake name, Zheng Yang.
If he said that he was from the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, it would only make it more likely that he would be exposed.
Thus, he might as well just say that he was an unaffiliated cultivator.
In any case, there were many swordsmen in the Azure. Even the experts of the Hall of Gods used swords, and there were plenty of unaffiliated cultivators who used swords. Furthermore, their swordsmanship wasn't too weak either.
"Unaffiliated cultivator?"
The eyes of Elder Liao and the others lit up in excitement.
It would have been difficult to recruit those from other sects, but unaffiliated cultivators were much easier to recruit!
If he were to join one of the Six Sects, the Myriad Beasts Hall, there was no way he would turn it down!
"Indeed." Oblivious to what was going through their minds, Zhang Xuan nodded. "Regarding the matter earlier …"
"Brother Zheng, rest assured. As long as you don't allow us to speak of it, we'll definitely keep it a secret.
But … "Elder Liao paused for a moment.
"But what?"
"We can keep it a secret, but we won't be able to hide the fact that the Three Kings of the Ascendant Cloud Mountain have been tamed. If word gets out that an outsider has succeeded despite having so many elders in our Myriad Beasts Hall, I'm afraid that there will be a huge uproar!"
Elder Liao said awkwardly.
"What should we do then?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
Zhang Xuan was right.
The Myriad Beasts Hall was the number one beast taming sect in the world. They had sent more than a dozen elders over, but all of them had returned empty-handed. On the other hand, a mere passerby had actually managed to tame all of the beasts. How were they going to explain this to their disciples?
It wasn't right for them to say it, but it wasn't right for them to say it either …
"Brother Zheng, why don't you follow us back to the Myriad Beasts Hall and admit that you're an elder of our Myriad Beasts Hall? This way, the morale of our disciples will surely soar! Don't worry, we just have to show off the three immortal beasts to the public! "
Elder Liao said. "This can be considered as an explanation to our disciples and the world!"
