Chapter 413 - Death of Teng Qinglin

"Peak master-level!"

Ye Xuan assessed his cultivation level.

As his Seal Beast, Lil Wan and the Tree of World evolved, his cultivation had come to peak master-level.

It would not take long before he evolves to challenger-level.

"Challenger-level..." Ye Xuan looked forward to that day to come.

Once he evolves to challenger-level, he could head over to the Translucent Secret Realm and contract that money.

Each time he thought about that monkey, Ye Xuan was reminded that he had one more master-level Translucent Secret Realm trial he had not taken.

He had options. He could either take the trial together with the challenger-level trial, or he could take it separately.

Ye Xuan scanned around the empty room and felt a sense of loneliness.

After honeymooning with him for several days, Lin Shiru had grown restless and returned to her work.

After all, she was the Vice Dean of Jiangzhou University.

"Perhaps I should pay the Translucent Secret Realm a visit." Ye Xuan wondered to himself.

The past days he spent in Lin Shiru’s love and comfort had dulled his competitive fervour.

Perhaps it was time to venture out once more.

"Ring!"

Just as these thoughts swirled around in Ye Xuan’s mind, his phone went off.

"Mr. Wang?"

Ye Xuan picked up the phone and was surprised to see the caller ID. He answered.

"Ye Xuan, bad news!"

As soon as Ye Xuan picked up, Wang Tianshan’s urgent voice came through. "It’s Elder Teng! He went to the Ancient God Plains with Qin Meng and was ambushed. The ambush party was said to be five legendary-level beast tamers from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets."

"Qin Meng managed to escape, though one of his legendary-level beasts died. But Mr. Teng... Mr. Teng sacrificed himself so Qin Meng could escape."

"What?"

Ye Xuan was shocked. The Great Xia Alliance had not experienced any turbulence as of late. He never would have imagined that the first bad news he received would be one of this magnitude.

Teng Qinglin was an elder statesman of the Great Xia Alliance. His death on the Ancient God Plains dealt a devastating blow to the Great Xia Alliance.

"That isn’t all."

Wang Tianshan’s voice grew more grave over the phone. "According to Qin Meng, the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets’ legendary-level beast tamers they encountered this time were all challenger-level beast tamers a short while ago. Clearly, they have gotten their hands on the Sacrifice Spell!"

"Is that so? They got the Sacrifice Spell as well?" Ye Xuan was more shocked.

He finally realized why the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets had gone quiet for the past while.

He then thought about the Silver Blood Alliance.

If the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets were laying low because they obtained the Sacrifice Spell, then what was the Silver Blood Alliance doing?

Thinking here, Ye Xuan was filled with panic and urgent thoughts.

If that was the case, then his current cultivation was no longer enough to contain them.

If both alliances’ power grew significantly from the Sacrifice Spell, then even he would not stand a chance against them.

So the most pressing issue at hand was to increase his own cultivation. But how? Ye Xuan pondered.

Then he realized the quickest way at hand was through his Seal Beast.

It would not be a bad idea for the Seal Beast to control some legendary-level beast tamers with its Slave Seal.

However, the difficulty in that approach was that the enemy legendary-beast tamers were seldom alone.

From Wang Tianshan’s intel, even though the legendary-level beast tamers of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets appeared, they had mostly stuck together and operated in teams.

They had no intel as to how the legendary-level beast tamers managed to gather together on the Ancient God Plains.

If he were to encounter several legendary-level beast tamers at once, his only option would be to run.

"Ye Xuan, the Great Xia Alliance is about to summon a meeting with the highest level officials from all relevant branches. This meeting would most likely decide whether or not to reveal the secret of the Sacrifice Spell to all the clans and tribes subordinate to our alliance."

"There are two things I inquire of you," Wang Tianshan asked through the phone, "what is your opinion on sharing the Sacrifice Spell with our allies and do you wish to attend this meeting?"

"They want to reveal the Sacrifice Spell to all?" Ye Xuan’s shock rose to another level.

He never thought things would go this bad this quickly.

However, if both the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets and the Silver Blood Alliance had indeed obtained the Sacrifice Spell, then the Great Xia Alliance would have no choice but to reveal its secret to all its subordinate clans.

Also, at the top of his worries was not the exact amount of legendary-level beast tamers the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets and the Silver Blood Alliance obtained from the Sacrifice Spell.

Rather, it was whether any monarch-level beast tamers would emerge from the two alliances.

If any of the two alliances were to produce a monarch-level beast tamer, the implication would be catastrophic to the Great Xia Alliance.

Some have speculated that beast tamers of this calibre could physically cross the galaxies and directly descend onto other planets.

"Damn it! My cultivation speed is still too slow." Ye Xuan let out a groan of frustration.

He found that after he had evolved to master-level, his rate of breakthrough had halted significantly.

It had been so many days since he reached master, yet he had still not evolved to challenger-level.

Even though challenger-level was still a level lower than the top-notch powerhouse of the Milky Starway.

Ye Xuan stood up and paced back and forth in his room. Then he returned to the phone and replied to Wang Tianshan, "I won’t be attending the meeting this time. As for whether or not to reveal the Sacrifice Spell secret, I have no opinion on the matter... also Mr. Wang, do you know where Elder Teng’s body is?"

"We failed to recover Elder Teng’s body." Wang Tianshan’s voice was bitter.

"We couldn’t recover it?" A flash of intensity darted across Ye Xuan’s eyes.

He had only met Teng Qinglin once on the day of his wedding, but he developed a fondness towards the old man.

Ye Xuan knew what sort of treatment would be done to Teng Qinglin’s body if it fell into the enemy’s possession.

It would be just like what they had done to the bodies of the beast tamers from the Alliance of Ten Thousand Planets, if not worse.

"All I can do now is wait." Ye Xuan drew in a deep breath.

He submerged his consciousness into his Tree of World’s inner world. Through it, he saw that the nine peak-challenger level beast tamers from various tribes were using the Sacrifice Spell to sacrifice their beasts to evolve to legendary-level.

It should take them about one or two days.

"If that’s all, then I’ll hang up." Wang Tianshan nodded and hung up the phone.

Even he was at lost at what Ye Xuan could do now.

He understood that Ye Xuan’s potential was unrivalled, but he was only a master-level beast tamer after all.

He had not even reached challenger-level yet.

Beast tamers of this calibre could not swing the tide of war to the Great Xia Alliance anymore.

Even though Ye Xuan possessed the ability to defeat a legendary-level beast tamer, in Wang Tianshan’s estimations, he could only deal with them one legend at a time.

What the Great Xia Alliance lacked now was not the power of one legend, but several.

As for the fact that Ye Xuan had controlled several dozen challenger-level beast tamers, no one on the Cerulean Planet besides Ye Xuan and Lin Shiru knew about it.

"Creak."

Shortly after Ye Xuan got off the phone with Wang Tianshan, his door creaked opened from the outside.

Ye Xuan looked up and saw Lin Shiru walk in gingerly.

"Ye Xuan, did you hear about what happened to Elder Teng?" Lin Shiru asked Ye Xuan. Her eyes were full of sorrow and worry. The recent developments were really unfavourable for the Xia.

"I heard. Mr. Wang called earlier."

Ye Xuan walked forward and embraced Lin Shiru. "I will avenge Elder Teng myself. Shiru, don’t worry too much about the Xia. Whatever happens, I’ll be there."

"Mm."

Lin Shiru nodded, then she looked into Ye Xuan’s eyes and asked, "are you planning on going to the Ancient God Planet?" The reason she hurried back was to ask Ye Xuan that.

"Yes, I have to." Ye Xuan nodded, he did not try to conceal his intentions from her. "But not yet. The Seal Beast had just evolved. I’m going to wait until all those challenger-level beast tamers evolve to legends before I go to the Ancient God Planet."

"That’s good to hear. Be careful still."

Lin Shiru sighed in relief. She was afraid that Ye Xuan was going to dart off to the Ancient God Planet alone with a full head of steam.

There was no doubt that Ye Xuan was very strong in his own right, but if he were to encounter a team of legendary-level beast tamers, his life would definitely be in grave danger.

Even though most legendary-level beast tamers do not own space-element beasts, most of their legendary-level beasts possessed some form of field abilities.

Once they cast their fields, they would be able to suppress the space around them, thus preventing Ye Xuan from using his space travel abilities to reposition or escape.

Ye Xuan had proved himself capable of breaking through the field of one legendary-level beast, but what if several legendary-level beasts cast their fields together?
