Hall Master Han felt vexed.
He had accompanied this fellow for three whole years. Whenever the other party wanted to eat something, he would rush to the front to help. Whenever the other party wanted something good, he would go to great lengths to search for it. All of this was for the sake of earning the other party's gratitude, hoping that the other party would consider their friendship when taming the other party...
Yet, this fellow actually forgot about all of this and snatched the other party's food...
The heck! He was simply an ingrate to the extreme.
If only he knew that this would happen, he wouldn't have gone through so much trouble!
"Activate the formation!"
Seeing how the other party was charging at him aggressively with no intention of stopping, Hall Master Han knew that this wasn't the time for him to be vexed.
Since the other party wasn't going to fall for it, he could only resort to his last resort!
That was to shed all pretense of cordiality and use the most violent means to force the other party to submit.
This was a last resort. After all, the Demon Cinque Beast was extremely powerful. Even though the Beast Hall had the advantage in numbers, it was still difficult to capture it alive without injuring it.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have ended up in such a pathetic state three years ago.
Even though Hall Master Han felt that the other party would submit after three years of interaction and the enticement of benefits, he still prepared for the worst... He set up a formation here in advance so as to prevent any mishaps!
To think that it would really come in handy.
"Yes!"
The few elders nodded. Then, they split into four different directions. Driving the zhenqi in their body, they grabbed at the air.
Hong long!
Several hundred meters in front of the group, a mist rose. Caught off guard, the Demon Cinque Beast fell into it.
"It's a Confinement Formation!"
Having learned the Heaven's Path Formation Art, Zhang Xuan's current understanding of formations was on par with a 4-star pinnacle formation master even without the help of the Library of Heaven's Path.
"Iron Chain Confinement Formation!"
Recognizing the formation, Jin Conghai's eyes narrowed.
"That's right!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
The Iron Chain Confinement Formation was created by a 4-star pinnacle formation master a thousand years ago. The formation made use of the natural environment and the violent spiritual energy in the surroundings to form intertwining iron chains. Any lifeform caught within the chains would be trapped in an instant, making it difficult for them to even struggle free.
A grade-4 pinnacle Confinement Formation!
"Looks like Hall Master Han has really put in a lot of effort in order to capture this fellow!"
Zhang Xuan sighed in awe as he watched the formation in action.
A formation of this level wasn't something that could be set up just because one wanted to. A formation master had to assess the terrain beforehand and find the location where the formation flags were to be buried. Then, one had to bury the formation flags one by one so as to not leave any traces on the surface, thus preventing the Demon Cinque Beast from discovering them...
Even if one's mastery of formations had reached 4-star pinnacle, it would take at least half a month for one to accomplish this feat.
"That's right. If I'm not wrong, in these three years, not only did he try to please this big guy, he also secretly put in a lot of effort."
Master Sai smiled wryly.
This formation wasn't something that could be completed within a day. Furthermore, it required the cooperation of a 4-star pinnacle formation master as well. In the past three years, he thought that this old friend of his was only fawning on the Demon Cinque Beast. However, from the looks of it now, that wasn't the case.
He reckoned that after he had suffered a loss three years ago, he had come up with this plan. On the surface, it looked like he was trying to curry favor with the other party, but in reality, he was secretly looking for people to set up a formation to prevent any accidents.
"That's normal. Before a beast tamer succeeds, they must first consider the possibility of failure. If they can't even think of this, it's impossible for them to reach 4-star!"
Zhang Xuan waved his hands casually.
Even a high-tier beast tamer couldn't succeed every single time, especially when facing such a ferocious and arrogant spirit beast.
Hall Master Han had failed once. If he were to foolishly charge forward without any preparations and attempt to tame the other party, he wouldn't be fit to be the head of the Beast Hall, a 4-star pinnacle beast tamer.
Roar!
While they were talking, the trapped Demon Cinque Beast finally realized that it had fallen for Zhang Xuan's ploy. Furious, it roared furiously, and a violent might burst forth from it, causing the ground to tremble.
"It's useless!"
Harrumphing, Hall Master Han stepped forward and flicked his wrist. A light screen appeared before him, displaying the full appearance of the Demon Cinque Beast.
Upon reaching Transcendent Mortal realm, one's zhenqi would transform into Origin Energy, granting one the ability to execute unimaginable means.
Similar to the walls in the corridor, this light screen allowed one to observe the situation within the formation clearly. At the same time, it also allowed those outside to converse with the trapped beast.
The spiritual energy gathered by the formation formed thick metal chains that bound the Demon Cinque Beast tightly. At this moment, the incomparably arrogant fellow that struck fear into the hearts of countless experts from the Kingdom Alliance had a savage expression on its face. It struggled to break free from the chains, but to no avail.
"I told you, it's useless! Don't make a pointless struggle! "
Seeing its frenzied roar, Hall Master Han chuckled lightly and transmitted his voice into the formation.
Roar!
Hearing those words, the Demon Cinque Beast felt even more infuriated.
After three years of interaction, it had let down its guard against humans. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to remain oblivious to the formation at its doorstep.
It didn't expect that its carelessness would land it in such a predicament. Hatred welled up in its heart, and if it could, it would tear this Hall Master Han apart and eat him alive.
"This is a grade-4 pinnacle formation. You might be powerful, but if you don't know how to decipher it, it's impossible for you to escape. Since that's the case, let's continue our previous conversation. As long as you agree to become my tamed beast, the promise you made previously will still be valid. If you don't... I believe you should understand the situation you're in now. There's a high chance that you'll be killed. "
Hall Master Han said.
This was his last resort, and he didn't want to use it. After all, even if the Demon Cinque Beast were to submit to him in the future, it would be forced to listen to his orders, resulting in an awkward situation between both parties.
However, the other party refused to submit to him and even wanted to snatch his treasure. Thus, he had no choice but to resort to this method.
Roar!
The Demon Cinque Beast glared furiously at Hall Master Han's words.
"There's no need to rush into making a decision. I have time to wait for your reply!" Seeing its attitude, Hall Master Han shook his head.
Since he had already trapped the other party, he would just have to spend some spirit stones to tame it. Killing it was just a threat. After all, if it were to die, his three years of effort would go to waste.
Infuriated, the Demon Cinque Beast struggled with all its might, only to realize that it was unable to break free. Thus, it could only remain still for the time being. Slowly, it closed its eyes, seemingly deep in thought.
"Hall master, what do we do now?"
Seeing that the massive fellow had stopped trying to escape and had instead quietened down, the few elders who were in charge of activating the formation glanced at one another before walking up to Hall Master Han.
"What else can we do? We can only wait. Elder Hu, take out the Deerhorde Beast and roast it. Make sure to inject the aroma into it. I don't believe that given that fellow's gluttony, it will be able to hold itself back! "Hall Master Han said.
The Deerhorde Beast carried a rich medicinal fragrance. If it were to be roasted, it would surely arouse one's appetite.
As a gluttonous spirit beast, it would be a wonder if the Demon Cinque Beast could hold itself back.
It must be said that Hall Master Han's mastery of beast taming had indeed reached a high level. First, he enticed it, then he threatened it, and now, he was even seducing it...
If it were an ordinary spirit beast, it would have submitted to him on the spot.
"Yes!" Elder Hu nodded. Taking out the Deerhorde Beast, he was just about to roast it when the 2-star beast tamer shook his head helplessly and said, "I advise you not to roast it!"
Elder Hu frowned, "Why?"
Not expecting a mere 2-star beast tamer to interject, Hall Master Han and the other elders turned to look at him in displeasure.
Even the weakest of them was a 4-star primary beast tamer. At this moment, they also felt that roasting the Deerhorde Beast was the best decision they could make... Yet, the fellow before them said that it was impossible. What did he mean by that?
"I'm just worried that you won't be able to handle the situation after roasting it!"
Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan nodded.
Even though he was a master teacher, he wasn't a saint either. Seeing that something was amiss, he had to intervene.
Not to mention, the other party didn't seem to respect him at all.
"It's just roasting the Deerhorde Beast, what kind of situation could there be?" Seeing how the other party was spouting nonsense, Elder Hu harrumphed coldly.
Even so many 4-star beast tamers didn't say anything. Yet, a mere 2-star beast tamer like you actually dared to speak up. You sure don't know your place.
"It's fine if you don't want to listen to my advice!" Zhang Xuan sighed.
He had already said what he needed to say. It was the other party's problem if they didn't want to listen to his advice.
"Stop putting on an act and trying to scare us!"
Elder Hu flung his sleeves furiously.
The others weren't too happy either.
This was especially so for Hall Master Han. If not in consideration of Master Sai, he would have surely reprimanded the other party.
What does a mere 2-star beast tamer know? How dare he speak up here? How uncultured!
"Alright, hurry up and roast it!"
With a cold expression, Zhang Xuan waved his hands casually.
Initially, he thought that it was weird for Master Sai to address him as a friend. However, from the looks of it now, the other party was just a fellow who didn't know etiquette.
It was just roasting the Deerhorde Beast. At the very most, it would be too fragrant. Could it be that there would be some kind of change in it?
"Yes!"
Elder Hu nodded. Together with the other elders, they set up a bonfire and began roasting the Deerhorde Beast.
In order to tame the Demon Cinque Beast, they had stayed in the forest for many days. As such, they still had the means to feed themselves.
Hu hu hu!
Not too long later, the bonfire was lit, and 'zizi', the Deerhorde Beast was placed on top of it.
The Deerhorde Beast grew by consuming spiritual herbs, and its body was already filled with spiritual energy. Thus, when roasted, it was even more fragrant. Just the smell that had appeared had already left everyone salivating.
"Let's retreat!"
Upon seeing the fragrance, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
"Retreat?" Master Sai and the others were taken aback.
"Un. At the very least, we should be several hundred meters away from it. Otherwise, I fear that we might meet with misfortune!"
Zhang Xuan said calmly as he led the way to the back of the room.
The moment he left, Zhao Ya, Zhao Feiwu, and the others hurriedly followed behind him.
With an awkward expression, Master Sai hesitated for a moment before following behind as well.
"This fellow..."
Seeing the group turn around and leave, fearing that they might meet with misfortune, veins popped on Hall Master Han's head. He nearly couldn't hold it in any longer.
He was already a little angry that he wasn't able to tame that huge fellow. Now that this fellow kept saying such disheartening words, he felt even more infuriated.
A 2-star beast tamer actually dared to put on an unfathomable expression. You... What are you acting all high and mighty for!
