The Scarlet Blaze Lion walked out of the cavern and headed toward the valley where the aerial spirit beasts were gathered.
"Why would there be an Illusory Formation here?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
What appeared before him was a massive formation that shrouded the surroundings. From time to time, the roars of spirit beasts could be heard from within. The two Black Spirit Leopards that had brought the lad here previously were standing warily in the surroundings.
"Black Spirit Leopard, what is going on?"
It walked up to the Scarlet Blaze Lion with a cold gaze.
"Scarlet Blaze King …"
Upon seeing the Scarlet Blaze Lion, the Black Spirit Leopard leaped in fright. It hurriedly explained, "It's like this. That Zhang Shi over there is a formation master. As soon as he arrived, he set up a formation here, and then … he disappeared. We weren't able to find him either!"
"Fools!"
The Scarlet Blaze Lion glared at them.
It was clear that the other party was up to no good for setting up a formation here.
How could those two fellows not stop him? How foolish!
However, the Illusory Formation didn't isolate auras, so the spirit beasts within weren't dead yet.
Since they weren't here to deal with the spirit beasts, why would they set up a formation?
Just as the Scarlet Blaze Lion was perplexed, the formation slowly dissipated, and a young man flew up from below.
He was the student of Elder Mi.
At this moment, Zhang Xuan's face was a little pale, and he was feeling a little light-headed.
After taming the spirit beasts for more than two hours, he was feeling extremely fatigued despite his superior stamina.
Fortunately, all of the aerial spirit beasts had already acknowledged him as their master and become his tamed beasts.
There were some tough ones among them, but Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered to waste any more time on them.
"Lad, what are you doing?"
Upon seeing Zhang Xuan, the Scarlet Blaze Lion roared furiously.
"It's nothing much. Byzantium and Ding Ding, give this fellow a good beating. I need some time to recover first …"
Zhang Xuan wasn't surprised to see the Scarlet Blaze Lion. He took out a grade-6 recovery pill and swallowed it. After which, with a flick of his wrist, the Byzantium Helios Beast and Jin Yuan Ding immediately charged forward.
Seeing that there was a Saint 1-dan pinnacle saint beast for him to pummel, Jin Yuan Ding let out a bizarre roar and charged forward.
Peng!
Before the Scarlet Blaze Lion could react, it was sent flying. It crashed into the mountain wall and vomited large mouthfuls of blood.
But before it could even vomit, the Byzantium Helios Beast's fist came smashing over.
Bang bang bang bang!
A Sacred Beast and a Sacred artefact. With the two experts working together, the Scarlet Blaze Lion was simply incapable of stopping them. In the blink of an eye, the Scarlet Blaze Lion was beaten beyond recognition. It could neither escape nor cry out.
Not long after, this fellow had no choice but to obediently acknowledge his master with tears streaming down his face, not daring to speak any nonsense.
What the hell was this? He had only come out to take a look, but he was beaten up to this extent. Was there any justice in this world?
Was there still any law?
After offering his soul, the Scarlet Blaze Lion turned to Zhang Xuan with a swollen face and exclaimed, "Master!"
Zhang Xuan had also completely recovered by now. He stretched his body and said calmly, "Go in now and trick the two kings out!"
"Trick two out?"
The corner of the Scarlet Blaze Lion's mouth twitched, and it blinked a few times.
"Not bad!" Zhang Xuan nodded.
There were a total of ten kings in the cavern. If all of them were to emerge, even if Jin Yuan Ding and the Byzantium Helios Beast were to work together, it would still be difficult for them to defeat them, let alone tame them. Moreover, with so many holy beasts together, everyone would show some backbone, otherwise, how would they look at their faces?
Otherwise, it would be difficult to tame them.
It would be much easier to deal with them one by one.
"Alright then!"
The Scarlet Blaze Lion had no choice but to agree to Zhang Xuan's request. After which, he raised his head and said, "In my current state … they will have to trust me …"
Jin Yuan Ding had been too excited earlier, so he had gone a little too far with his attacks. As a result, the Scarlet Blaze Lion was pummeled beyond recognition.
"Drink this gourd of Earth Vein Spirit Essence!"
Infusing a few surges of Heaven's Path zhenqi into a gourd of Earth Vein Spirit Essence, Zhang Xuan passed it over.
The other party's cultivation was far higher than his, and given his massive size, it would take at least a dozen gourds of fine wine to infuse his Heaven's Path zhenqi into the other party.
Even if he wasn't drunk, it would still be easy for him to be discovered in the cavern due to the stench of alcohol emanating from him.
On the other hand, the Earth Vein Spirit Essence was even more effective in recuperating through his Heaven's Path zhenqi, so a single gourd would suffice.
"Earth Vein Spirit Essence?"
Grabbing the gourd, the Scarlet Blaze Lion uncorked it, and with just a sniff, his vision immediately darkened.
He had finally found the thief who had stolen it …
To think that he would actually become its master!
What in the world was this?
Just this morning, he was still cursing the other kings with gritted teeth, threatening to tear the other party into pieces … But now, he was kneeling on the floor with a respectful look on his face …
The life of a beast sure was lonely …
Even though the Scarlet Blaze Lion was dismayed, he still gulped down the gourd of Earth Vein Spirit Essence.
As soon as the spiritual energy flowed into his body, the severe injuries he had sustained from before immediately healed up.
"T-this …"
The Scarlet Blaze Lion blinked in bewilderment.
He was too familiar with the Earth Vein Spirit Essence. In the past, drinking it would only allow him to recover his strength … Why would it be able to treat his injuries as well?
"I have added some medicinal herbs into the Earth Vein Spirit Essence to help you recover swiftly. As long as you pledge your loyalty to me, it won't be too difficult for me to raise your cultivation to Spiritual Perception realm!"
Zhang Xuan said calmly.
"Yes!"
The Scarlet Blaze Lion nodded his head.
To be able to conjure the Earth Vein Spirit Essence out of pure spiritual energy to possess the effects of a divine healing medicine was truly a feat.
Such a master might really be able to raise his cultivation and push for a breakthrough to Spiritual Perception realm.
"Go!"
Zhang Xuan instructed before falling silent.
The life and death of a tamed spirit beast lay in his hands, so he didn't have to worry about the other party betraying him.
"Master …"
After the Scarlet Blaze Lion left, the Byzantium Helios Beast walked over with a look of admiration.
The Cloudmist Ridge had always been a threat to the Master Teacher Academy. Back then, even the old principal was helpless before it. Yet, this new principal actually managed to tame all of the Half-Saint and Nascent Saint realm cultivators and even one of the Ten Great Kings of the Master Teacher Academy.
Most likely, it wouldn't be long before the Cloudmist Ridge, which had been in a stalemate with the Master Teacher Academy for many years, would become a vassal of the human race.
"We have to lure all of the Ten Great Kings of the Cloudmist Ridge over and deal with them one by one. We aren't a match for them at the moment, but once we tame more of them, we will be able to deal with them easily!"
Thinking that the other party was worried, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly.
Seeing that the Cloudmist Ridge was at war with the humans, he had already made up his mind.
Only then would he be able to enter the Cloudmist Ridge and take down the Ten Great Kings one by one.
The combined might of the Ten Great Kings was indeed formidable, such that even Zhang Xuan would be helpless against them. However, as long as he could lure four of them out one by one, as well as the Golden Origin Cauldron, the Byzantium Helios Beast, and the Otherworldly Demon puppets, it would be impossible for him to retaliate.
…
On the other hand, School Head Mo was still unaware of Zhang Xuan's intentions, and he was panting heavily in worry.
Hu!
Just as he was wondering how Principal Zhang was doing, the Scarlet Blaze Lion suddenly walked in.
"What happened? Where is the Black Spirit and that lad? "Upon seeing the Scarlet Blaze Lion, the Golden Beartiger Beast frowned.
He had told this fellow to look for Zhang Xuan, so why was he here instead?
"That lad is incredibly quick-witted. He fled in fright, and the Black Spirit failed to catch up to him. I tried to trace his whereabouts, but I'm not sure which direction he went. Steelback Bear and Green Bamboo Earth Dragon, follow me to take a look!"
The Scarlet Blaze Lion harrumphed.
"He fled?"
"Haha, School Head Mo, is that your student? He abandoned his teacher here in the face of danger and fled on his own? "
"To think that there would be such a weirdo among master teachers. How rare!"
Hearing that the lad had abandoned his teacher, the other kings burst into laughter.
It was said that master teachers valued their heritage. To think that the lad would flee so quickly while their teacher was negotiating with them. How embarrassing!
"Principal Zhang fled?"
Elder Mi was dumbfounded as well.
Even though he found it hard to believe, but … there was no need for the Scarlet Blaze Lion to say such a thing!
"Alright, I'll follow you to take a look. After we find that lad, we must get to know him. To think that there would be such a person in the Master Teacher Academy!"
The Steelback Bear said.
"Haha, I'll follow you too!" the Green Bamboo Earth Dragon also stood up.
Just like the Scarlet Blaze Lion, these two fellows were at Saint 1-dan pinnacle. Their strength was as deep as the abyss, making it impossible to gauge their strength.
"Hurry up and return. We have important matters to attend to!"
Seeing that the two beasts were about to leave, the Golden Beartiger Beast frowned.
"Don't worry!"
The Scarlet Blaze Lion replied with a light chuckle before leaving with the two saint beasts.
"Elder Mi, what else do you have to say for yourself now? How can my direct disciple behave in such a manner … How can he still have the cheek to lecture me? Speak of morality and righteousness? "
The Golden Beartiger Beast sneered coldly.
As one of the Ten Great Master Teachers, one's direct disciple, you are a coward. If word of this were to spread, you wouldn't be able to live anymore.
"I …"
Elder Mi clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't find the words to say.
He didn't believe that Zhang Shi would run away, but … what in the world was Principal Zhang up to?
Principal Zhang had said that he wanted to negotiate, but two hours had already passed, and he hadn't said a single word at all. He had no idea what Principal Zhang was up to either.
"Hehe, there's no need to guess. It must be Elder Mi's direct disciple. After seeing so many aerial spirit beasts, he knew that he would surely lose if a battle were to break out, so he fled in advance!"
"I have always thought that master teachers are people with backbone, but who could have thought that they are even more cowardly than us beasts …"
The few Monarchs burst into laughter.
"Alright, let's not waste any more time. Elder Mi, there's no need for you to waste any more time. Hurry up and contact the other elders to agree to our conditions. Otherwise, don't even dream of leaving today!"
The Golden Beartiger Beast sneered coldly.
"I …"
Sighing deeply, Elder Mi was just about to speak when footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the cavern. Following which, the Steelback Bear walked in.
"That lad sure is sinister. I have no idea where he found those experts from. The Scarlet Blaze Lion and I aren't a match for him. Tigerhead Beast, Steelfang Wolf, the two of you, come over. We'll kill him together!"
"He found experts?"
"What kind of expert is he that even the three of you aren't a match for? Do you need our help? "
The Tigerhead Beast and Steelfang Wolf stood up.
"I don't know him either, but he probably isn't an elder of the academy. Hurry up, or else I fear that the Scarlet Blaze Lion and the others won't be able to hold on!"
The Steelback Bear urged anxiously.
"Alright!"
The two Monarchs of the Cloudmist Ridge and the Golden Beartiger Beast nodded before leaving the cavern.
A moment later, the Steelfang Wolf returned and said, "They seem to have more people with them as well. Green-Nosed Elephant, Crimson Flame Ape, Steelfang Beast, and White-eared Beast, the four of you, follow me!"
"Zhang Shi … Who did he find this time?" Elder Mi was on the verge of fainting.
"This …"
The Golden Beartiger Beast glanced at the surroundings and realized that he was the only one left.
