Chapter 542

"We need to pick up the pace!"

"I heard that kid Shen Wu set out a step ahead of us!" "I wonder if we'll be too late!" At this very moment!

Not far from Holy Dragon Village!

Two old men were rushing forward at top speed.

Their speed was astonishingly fast.

Clearly they were riding mounts to travel. "We should still make it in time!"

"And that kid seems to have left in plain clothes!" "No one should recognize him!"

"It won't expose his identity that easily, as long as he doesn't reveal himself!" "We can still smooth things over!" "Preserve Ancient Zhoucheng's reputation!" another white-haired old man said. The two men before them were precisely the beast tamers who had said earlier they would come to stop Shen Wu.

Zhou Zhenxing and Xie Xie Diandian!

If there were any powerful beast tamers here,

they would surely sense that these two beast tamers had both reached the late stage of Diamond tier,

a terrifying existence at Diamond Tier 8.

At the same time!

Their identities were also among the twelve stewards of Ancient Zhoucheng.

All twelve stewards of Ancient Zhoucheng were at Diamond Tier 7 or above.

Each one was immensely powerful.

Every one of them possessed a phantom beast with a King-tier invincible bloodline.

A few even possessed phantom beasts with a Legendary-tier bloodline.

The twelve, together with Shen Wu, jointly governed Ancient Zhoucheng.

They maintained the stability of Ancient Zhoucheng.

And Zhou Zhenxing and Xie Xie Diandian were the most senior elders among the twelve stewards.

So they were in charge of handling certain matters.

At this moment!

With the dignity of Ancient Zhoucheng's supreme ruler at stake,

the two old men had no choice but to act personally.

At this moment!

Outside the Holy Dragon Dojo,

a remarkably handsome young man of about thirty years old,

wearing an expression of pure delight, appeared here.

"Tsk— so this is the Holy Dragon Dojo!"

"That is actually the legendary Forest War Ancient Tree!"

"That's a powerful phantom beast that only appears in forests where the Tree of Life grows!"

"A phantom beast that grants a boost to all plant-type phantom beasts!"

"And it might even become a Tree of Life itself!"

"To think he could even get his hands on a phantom beast like this — worthy of the mysterious and powerful senior!"

Marveling at the mere tip of the iceberg of the Holy Dragon Dojo's formidable strength,

Shen Wu's expression grew even more reverent.

The next moment!

He stepped into the Holy Dragon Dojo.

"Senior Chen Xuan!"

"Junior Shen Wu has long admired your great name!" "I beg Senior to take me as your disciple!" In the front hall of the Holy Dragon Dojo,

the man seated upright (Li's good) was precisely the one Shen Wu had seen in the dossier —

that mysterious senior, Chen Xuan.

The obsession with reaching the King tier

was the lifelong aspiration of every beast tamer.

So, faced with a chance to advance to the King tier,

Shen Wu set aside the airs of his position as Ancient Zhoucheng's supreme ruler.

And before a powerhouse like this, what did his status even amount to?

Therefore!

Shen Wu knelt down without the slightest hesitation. "Wait!"

"Shen Wu, you must not act on impulse!" Just at that moment!

Two urgent shouts rang out.

Then two old men's figures came rushing over at top speed.

They caught hold of Shen Wu, who was about to kneel.

"Kid, you are the face of our Ancient Zhoucheng — taking a master is such a momentous matter… wait!" "Did you just say you want to take him as your master?" Xie Xie Diandian said halfway to Zhou Zhenxing,

only then recalling Shen Wu's words.

Sensing something was off,

he immediately caught on..
