Chapter 391: Three Feathers
Chapter 391: Three Feathers
In the pitch-black space, a black hole gaped open, unable to be sealed. From within the black hole, a series of roars echoed.
These roars were frenzied, fierce, and brutal. Just hearing them was enough to sense the ominousness within.
Wen Ze Bin listened to the roars, his face instantly turning extremely ugly.
The secrets of Mo Yuan City were unknown to outsiders, but as the Executive Governor, second only to the two Celestial-ranked Governors, he was well aware of everything.
Everyone knew about the deeds of the Eight Kings, but in reality, that was just the initial struggle of Mo Yuan City's establishment.
Mo Yuan City had stood within this dimensional rift for so many years, and the crisis it faced was not limited to this one time.
The most dangerous incident occurred when it overlapped with a deep-level dimensional rift, from which a legendary-ranked Abyssal Dragon emerged.
The chaos caused by that dragon resulted in the sacrifice of numerous high-ranked Beastmasters, no less than the losses during the City-Clearing Battle.
In the end, with no other options, the Dongxia Federation organized the joint efforts of the Kansai Beastmaster Academy, Zhongyuan Beastmaster Academy, and Mize Beastmaster Academy, deploying four legendary-ranked Beastmasters to slay the Abyssal Dragon.
However, during the dragon's slaying, due to some special reasons, the mission was not entirely successful, and the dragon's soul escaped into the dimensional rift.
The other end of the dimensional rift led to an abyssal dead zone. The four legendary Beastmasters briefly entered this place and encountered numerous crises, ultimately forcing them to retreat.
At that time, Mo Yuan City had already been established and reached a certain scale.
To avoid abandoning the hard-earned foundation laid by their ancestors and for other reasons, the four legendary Beastmasters joined forces to set up an array, sealing the dragon's remnant soul and the dimensional rift together.
Normally, a large city would only have one legendary Beastmaster stationed, but Mo Yuan City had both a publicly known and a hidden legendary Beastmaster to ensure constant supervision of the sealed area.
Wen Ze Bin broke out in a cold sweat. He was well aware of the implications if the dragon's remnant soul broke free from its seal at this moment.
The entire Mo Yuan City might be plunged into an irreversible disaster.
Even if the Legendary Xia and "Master Lu" rushed back, there was no guarantee they could suppress it.
In the distance, a flash of light streaked across the sky.
In the blink of an eye, another person landed before Wen Ze Bin.
"Saint Jiang!" Wen Ze Bin exclaimed bitterly upon seeing the newcomer.
Jiang Xueling, also known as "Saint Jiang" to Wen Ze Bin, saw the unsealable spatial black hole and heard the roars emanating from within. His expression instantly turned extremely ugly, "How could this happen? How?"
"Quickly notify the Governor and Master Lu. If the dragon's remnant soul breaks free, the consequences are unimaginable!" Jiang Xueling said sternly.
"I'll immediately notify Saint He of Ming Hua City to come over. With the three of us, Saint-ranked Beastmasters, we should be able to hold it off for a while."
Jiang Xueling spoke, but deep down, he had no confidence at all.
There was an insurmountable gap between the Saint-ranked and the legendary-ranked.
Although it was just one major realm apart, countless geniuses throughout history had been stuck at this very boundary.
How many talented and extraordinary individuals were trapped here, never making any progress in their lives, and eventually dying in despair.
The transformation from Holy Spirit Rank to Legendary Rank could be likened to a fish leaping over the dragon gate.
Master Lu once said that even the weakest Legendary Rank Companion Beast could easily crush a dozen peak Holy Spirit Rank Companion Beasts.
So, at this moment, although they were determined and their gazes were unwavering, they actually had no confidence at all.
...
In the evolution field.
The breeding chamber had been exposed due to the evolution beam that soared into the sky, so Li Qian's figure was completely revealed outside.
Naturally, he also witnessed the anomaly in the city.
"It should be the location of the teleportation plaza..." Li Qian muttered to himself after glancing at the position where the blood-colored beam rose.
After muttering to himself, he withdrew his gaze. Although there was an unexpected change in the city, Li Qian believed that the authorities should be able to handle it.
At this moment, his attention was focused on the evolution beam in front of him.
The beam soared into the sky with an extraordinary might that was quite terrifying. However, Li Qian knew that what was too strong would break easily, and what was too prosperous would eventually decline.
This astonishing might would not last long.
But until now, he still hadn't sensed the aura of transformation.
In other words, the evolution hadn't made any substantial progress.
This caused Li Qian to frown deeply, his thoughts racing as he wondered how to proceed. Just then, a figure rushed over.
"Li Qian, this might be able to help you." Before the figure could get close, it was intercepted by a guard.
Li Qian recognized this person; it was the younger generation of Duke Xia Hou, the current head of the Xia Hou Clan, and the vice-principal of the Combat Academy at Kansai Beast Academy—Xia Hou Lan.
"Let him come over!" Li Qian saw Xia Hou Lan tightly holding a jade box, and his mind raced with thoughts. Soon, he understood some things and then instructed the guard who was blocking the way.
The guard did not immediately comply but glanced in a certain direction.
In that direction, Duke Hong Bing slowly stood up and waved his hand.
The guard received the order but did not move aside; instead, he extended his hand.
Xia Hou Lan immediately understood his intention and, after a glance, handed over the jade box with great care.
The guard took the jade box and jogged over to Li Qian, presenting the box to him.
Li Qian did not hesitate; he took the jade box, opened it, and glanced inside.
Inside lay three feathers, emitting a faint glow, and with just a glance, Li Qian sensed the incredibly terrifying energy within them.
This energy was identical to that of the unique Golden-Crowned Red Chicken.
Connecting this to the information displayed on the unique Golden-Crowned Red Chicken, "Three Times in Nirvana," Li Qian instantly understood.
These three feathers should be what the unique Golden-Crowned Red Chicken had left behind during its previous three Nirvana rebirths.
Li Qian picked up a feather, examined and felt it; it was smooth and warm, not at all like a feather, but more like jade.
By now, Li Qian clearly understood that this unique Golden-Crowned Red Chicken was intentionally arranged by Xia Hou Lan.
Combining this with what he had heard about Duke Xia Hou, it was not surprising that the Xia Hou Clan possessed such a special Red Chicken.
