Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 466 Rescuing Xu Feng
Upon hearing this, Li Zhen nearly stumbled and lost his balance. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and said irritably:
"Stop talking nonsense, come with me if you don't want to die!"

Having said that, he lifted the incredibly heavy Xu Feng up as easily as if he were a chick.

Xu Feng nodded vigorously, not daring to utter another word.

Being alive is better than anything else!
At this moment, the four divine messengers who had been knocked back finally came to their senses, their faces filled with rage and humiliation.

The leading divine messenger's eyes widened in fury. He abruptly waved his hand and issued a stern command:

"All spirit beasts, charge!"

"Kill them!"

At a single command, the hundreds of powerful spirit beasts that had surrounded the entire mountain range instantly unleashed a deafening roar!

Their eyes were bloodshot, carrying a violent energy capable of destroying the world, and they surged towards Li Zhen from all directions like a torrent of steel!

The sheer scale of the event was enough to make even Xu Feng's fat tremble!
Li Zhen, carrying Xu Feng, looked at the overwhelming tide of beasts, but his face showed no panic. Instead, a sneer of arrogance curled at the corner of his mouth.

"Even a grain of rice can shine?!"

Before he finished speaking, his crimson phoenix arm once again burst forth with dazzling light!
“Chi——!!!”

A phoenix cry, even higher and louder than before, resounded through the sky!
In an instant, the pupils of everyone in the audience contracted sharply due to the incredibly shocking scene before them!

On Li Zhen's arm, the blazing flame condensed into a lifelike phoenix phantom!

It roared to the sky, spread its wings, and a visible crimson shockwave, like divine punishment fire, swept fiercely towards the oncoming beast tide!

"boom--!!!!!"

No tricks, no frills!

Yes, it has only the most domineering energy!
Wherever the crimson flame shockwave passed, the rocks melted!

Those powerful spirit beasts, whose level was as high as ninety and who could dominate a region in the outside world, were directly blasted dozens of meters away by this force, and some of them even fainted!

Li Zhen didn't kill him, but the scene was still shocking enough.

The whole place was in deathly silence!

The five divine messengers were stunned, staring in disbelief at the miraculous scene unfolding before them.

Xu Feng, the one being rescued, stared wide-eyed, his mouth agape as if he could fit an egg in it, his heart filled with turbulent emotions!

"My goodness... When did I, Xu Feng, ever meet such a world-destroying super boss in my entire life?"

But then, another thought popped into my head uncontrollably.

"Wait... there's no such thing as a free lunch. Could this guy also be trying to use me? Trying to get something out of me?"

For a moment, Xu Feng felt uneasy and full of vigilance.

However, given the current situation, he can only take it one step at a time.

"go!"

Having wiped out the enemy with a single blow, Li Zhen had no intention of lingering in the fight.

He knew that the A'tuo religion had a deep-rooted foundation and that it was not a good place to stay for long.

He lifted Xu Feng up, stomped his foot, and shot into the sky like a cannonball, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

The five divine messengers behind them looked in the direction they had left and wanted to give chase, but found that the other party was so fast that they had already disappeared without a trace.

"A cultivator?!" The leading divine messenger frowned deeply as he recalled the astonishing scene from just moments ago.

In this era, cultivators are extremely rare, and each one is an exceptionally outstanding individual.

It shouldn't be difficult to investigate the identity of a powerful cultivator with such terrifying strength.

……

On the other side, high in the sky.

Time flies by, as fast as lightning.

Xu Feng sat on the back of the little blue fish, clinging tightly to it, feeling the howling wind rushing past his ears, feeling both shocked and nervous.

Li Zhen didn't communicate with him at all, but only cautiously observed the rear. He only breathed a slight sigh of relief after confirming that no pursuers were following.

At this moment, Xu Feng finally couldn't hold back any longer and cautiously spoke:

"Senior... your spirit beast... flies so fast!"

"This is not my spirit beast," Li Zhen replied calmly.

"Huh?!" Xu Feng was taken aback, then quickly changed his tune, forcing a fawning smile, "Senior, your strength is truly amazing!"

"I admire you immensely! May I ask your honorable name?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhen slowly pulled off his mask.

When Xu Feng saw that young and unfamiliar face, he was completely stunned, and his vigilance instantly reached its peak.

He doesn't know this person!
"It doesn't matter if you don't know me, as long as I know you." Li Zhen looked at his nervous appearance and smiled slightly. "I saved you this time because someone asked me to."

"Entrusted by someone?!"

Upon hearing those four words, Xu Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he became even more nervous.

Throughout his life, he was either tomb raiding or on his way to tomb raiding. He had very few friends, but his enemies were everywhere.

Who could possibly be capable of mobilizing an expert of this caliber to come looking for me?

Could it be some powerful being whose ancestral grave I desecrated, who can't swallow that insult and wants to drag me back to personally torture me?!
Li Zhen seemed to see through his inner fear and guilt, and intending to frighten him, he said leisurely:

"What? Judging from your expression, you already know who it is?"

"Uh..." Xu Feng broke out in a cold sweat instantly. He subconsciously glanced down, and the sight of being a thousand meters in the air made him dizzy. He quickly looked away.

He knew his life was now completely in the other person's hands, so he could only force a smile that looked more like a grimace, and tentatively said:

"To be able to invite such a great figure as you, senior, you must be... you must be a super powerful figure who commands respect from all directions..."

Li Zhen simply smiled meaningfully but remained silent, which made Xu Feng even more uneasy and anxious.

……

After an unknown amount of time, when the little blue fish slowly landed in a secluded courtyard, Xu Feng's legs were still a little weak.

"Right inside."

After landing, Li Zhen said something to the house.

Xu Feng's heart jumped into his throat.

He had already secretly communicated with his giant pangolin. As soon as he sensed something was wrong and that an enemy had come out of the house, he would immediately have the giant pangolin burrow underground and escape!

Just then, the people inside seemed to hear some noise outside, and heard a steady series of footsteps.

Xu Feng nervously raised his head and stared intently at the doorway.

The moment the figure finally emerged from the house and appeared before him, he immediately knelt down, crying out, "Thank you, my benefactor..."

However, when he saw the person's face clearly, all the remaining words got stuck in his throat, and his knees, which were halfway down, froze awkwardly in mid-air.

"Brother Lin... Brother Lin?!"

Staring at the familiar yet youthful face before him, Xu Feng stood frozen, his mind blank.

Standing to the side, Li Zhen looked at Xu Feng's comical appearance and couldn't help but smile, finding the guy quite amusing.

"It's good that you're out." Lin Chen didn't care about these things. He quickly stepped forward and helped Xu Feng, who was frozen in mid-air, up.

At this moment, Xu Feng felt far more surprised than embarrassed.

He never dreamed that the "mastermind" who had gone to great lengths to hire a skilled expert to save him would actually be Lin Chen!

"Brother Lin... what are you doing here?"

Xu Feng's tongue was almost tied in knots.

Lin Chen invited him to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard, calmly poured him a cup of tea, and said in a half-joking tone:
"Back in Heavenly City, you swore that you would share half of the treasure with me. I've been waiting and waiting for you for so long without any news. I was worried that you might have forgotten, so I had no choice but to come here in person."

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Xu Feng shook his head repeatedly and said with absolute certainty:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I kept my trip to the Southern Burning Ancient Kingdom extremely secret. Even after I became the vice leader here, only the Pope knew my real name. You couldn't possibly find me based on that!"

Before Lin Chen could explain, Xu Feng seemed to suddenly understand something, slammed his hand on the table, and looked at Lin Chen with an "I get it" expression:

"That's right! I know! You must have offended those guys in Tiandu and were being chased by them, which is why you ran to the Southern Burning Ancient Kingdom to escape!"

Then, with an air of sworn brotherhood, he patted his chest vigorously and said with great bravado:

"You've come to the right place! This used to be half my territory! Don't worry, with me, Xu Feng, here, I'll definitely help you make a comeback here. Then we'll grow bigger and stronger, create new glories, and then... launch a northern expedition against Tiandu!"

Seeing Xu Feng's impassioned and righteous demeanor, Lin Chen and Li Zhen were both speechless.

Li Zhen couldn't stand it any longer and couldn't help but say, "Lin Chen isn't in such a bad situation. The current Tiandu can't do anything to him."

"Huh?" Xu Feng looked puzzled.

Li Zhen did not hide anything and simply recounted the arrival of the gods, as well as Lin Chen's current status and actions in the Cangling Ancient Kingdom.

To Lin Chen's surprise, Xu Feng did not show much surprise when he heard the words "God Race".

"You knew about the existence of the gods before?" Lin Chen keenly noticed this.

"Hey, the traces of the gods might be earth-shattering secrets to ordinary beast tamers, but how could they possibly escape the notice of us, a family of tomb raiders who have been passed down through generations?"

Xu Feng waved his hand dismissively.

At the same time, his gaze toward Lin Chen was filled with disbelief, shock, and doubt.

Is this kid... really that good?

One person wiped out the Protoss?

It doesn’t even look like it!

It's worth noting that when they last met in Heavenly City, Lin Chen's strength was inferior to his.

It's only been a few years, how come you've become like you've unlocked a cheat code?
"Our trip to the Southern Burning Ancient Kingdom is only partly for seeking refuge," Lin Chen said, ignoring his gaze, "and partly because we are going to the Eternal Sacred Mountain."

"Holy Mountain?!" Xu Feng was so surprised upon hearing these two words that he almost jumped up from the stone bench. "That's an absolute forbidden area of ​​the Atuo Sect! What are you going there for?"

"Do you have a way to get us in?" Lin Chen asked directly.

“There is a way…” Xu Feng hesitated for a moment and said somewhat awkwardly, “But to be honest, I’ve never been to that place.”

"You're already the vice leader, and you still can't get in?" Li Zhen asked in surprise.

"Hey, don't even mention it! Although I have the title of Vice-President, to put it bluntly, I'm still just working for the Pope," Xu Feng said with a sullen expression.

"That old fox only cared about my ability to decipher ancient divine scripts from beginning to end. He wouldn't let me touch the core secrets at all!"

"And what about you?" Lin Chen countered. "What did you see in the cult? You went through all that trouble to infiltrate; surely it wasn't just to show off as a vice-leader?"

This question hit the nail on the head.

The playful expression on Xu Feng's face slowly faded, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.

"This matter... is a long story." He took a deep breath and looked intently at Lin Chen. "Brother Lin, do you still remember the ancient book you returned to me in Heavenly City?"

Lin Chen nodded, a slight ripple stirring in his heart.

Could it be that all of this is really related to that mysterious ancient book?
"That ancient book records a shocking secret!" Xu Feng said in a very low voice, mysteriously, "The ancient book says... there are immortals above immortals!"

"The history we know, and the world we live in, may only be a small part of it!"

"Besides our Cangling Ancient Kingdom, there are also records about 'Immortals Above Immortals' in the Nanfen Ancient Kingdom!"

"These records, these clues that point to the true core of antiquity, are, according to my deduction, very likely hidden within the Atuo Cult."

After saying that, Xu Feng solemnly handed the ancient leather scroll that he had snatched back from the divine messenger to Lin Chen.

……

Meanwhile, in the holy city of Oman, deep within the sacred palace that symbolizes supreme divine authority.

Inside the cold hall, the five law enforcement envoys were kneeling on the ground, trembling, not daring to breathe.

Before them stood a middle-aged man with a sinister face, dressed in a blue robe inlaid with gold, his back to them, his gaze coldly fixed on the sacred fire burning inside the hall.

He wasn't the Pope, but his position was below the Pope and above millions of others, even on par with the Vice-President. He was a member of the A-Tuo sect—

Great priest.

Ries.

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

Rhys slowly turned around, his hawk-like eyes flashing with a murderous glint, causing the five divine messengers to lower their heads even further.

"We had already captured him and obtained the Sacred Map, yet the five of you still managed to let him be rescued by a mere outsider?!"

The leading divine messenger replied tremblingly, "High Priest, please calm your anger! It's just... a mysterious and powerful figure suddenly appeared midway through, whose strength was far too terrifying. We... we were no match for him..."

"Have you ascertained the other party's identity?" Rhys's voice was so cold it felt like ice shards could fall from it.

"I don't know yet. But judging from their conversation, they seem to be from the Cangling Ancient Kingdom."

Seeing that High Priest Rhys's anger was growing stronger, the leading divine messenger quickly added:

"Rest assured, High Priest! We will investigate with all our might right now. Even if we have to turn the entire Southern Burning Ancient Kingdom upside down, we will definitely find them!"

"and many more."

But Rhys suddenly called out to them.

"If we go now, the person will have long since disappeared. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. What's the point?"

His voice regained its composure, but beneath that composure lay something even more terrifying.

"Issue my order to immediately seal off all passes and cities nationwide and impose the highest level of martial law!"

"Your main focus should still be on the pilgrimage ceremony of the Holy Son a month from now!"

"Yes!" Five people responded in unison.

“Remember this,” Rhys’s gaze swept over the five of them, his voice chilling, “This pilgrimage must not be allowed to fail! If those few scum from the Cangling Ancient Kingdom manage to disrupt the ceremony…”

He paused, a cruel smile curving his lips.

"I think I no longer need to protect you, given what might happen if His Holiness the Pope gets angry."

"Yes! I obey my orders!"

The five divine messengers kowtowed repeatedly, their backs soaked with cold sweat.
