Chapter 1301: Very unfortunately, I'm here to tell you that you've made a wasted trip!

"Are you ready?"

The Human-Faced Spider: "I'm ready!"

Under everyone's witness, the Human-Faced Spider signed a contract with Sovereign Jiazi.

After the contract was signed, both Sovereign Jiazi and the Human-Faced Spider looked at Su Yang with eager expressions.

Su Yang rubbed his hands together, suddenly thinking of a very serious problem.

He had no more forced-contract scrolls left!

In other words, he had no way to raise the Human-Faced Spider's strength…

However, Su Yang wasn't panicked in the slightest.

This was just a small matter!

"Little spider!"

"General Su!"

The little spider gazed at Su Yang with a look of longing.

"I have some very unfortunate news for you—my cultivation slots are limited, so I can't cultivate you for the time being!"

"Huh?"

The Human-Faced Spider's face fell on the spot.

"Originally I was planning to use the excuse of testing you to buy some time, but I thought about it and decided against it—I don't want to lie to you!"

Su Yang had no desire to tell lies.

Wasn't he working so hard to raise his strength precisely so he could live freely and at ease?

Lying went against his principles.

The Human-Faced Spider felt deeply wronged: "You just said you were going to raise my…"

"I just forgot!" Su Yang said frankly. "But you can back out, I don't mind!"

"If I back out, will you let me go?"

"I'm afraid that's not possible…"

Of course he couldn't let it go.

If he let the Human-Faced Spider go this time, next time he might never find it again.

Better to kill it directly than to let it go.

"How can you be like this? I trusted you so much!"

"My ability is limited—each time I raise someone's strength, I can only help cultivate one additional beast-companion. If I could really cultivate anyone at will, our Huaxia Federation would have conquered all of Water-Blue Star and counter-attacked the Otherworld long ago!" Su Yang said. "I can only promise you one priority cultivation slot."

"Roughly how long will I have to wait?"

"A year or two!" Su Yang stared at the Human-Faced Spider. "What do you say?"

The Human-Faced Spider clenched its teeth: "I'll wait!"

The contract was already signed—what else could it do?

If it rebelled now, it would absolutely be torn into eight pieces by the beast-companions watching hungrily all around!

What it couldn't endure was becoming someone else's beast-companion.

But now the contract was already signed, the die was cast, the greatest grievance had already been endured… enduring a little more was nothing.

Especially since Su Yang had already shown it his beast-companions!

"A wise choice!"

Su Yang patted the Human-Faced Spider on the head!

The Human-Faced Spider turned its head away in displeasure…

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host on defeating the Human-Faced Spider and crushing the Beast-Emperor Legion!"

"Ding~ The host has been rewarded with three Mythic-grade Talents, three Talent Awakening opportunities, and one Beast-Companion Talent Replication Card!"

Hearing the system reward, Su Yang found the Human-Faced Spider even more endearing.

If only there were more of these lovely Beast-Emperors in the world—how wonderful that would be!

"That's about enough, let's head back!"

Su Yang, Liu Mengyun, Sovereign Jiazi, and Xia Na's beast-companions had barely taken any injuries—only overexertion.

After resting half a day, the Void Wanderer had recovered a fair amount of energy.

It could teleport with passengers now.

Su Yang recalled his beast-companions, took the three women, and headed straight back to Zhangcheng.

The moment they arrived at Chengmenkou, the guards of Zhangcheng recognized Su Yang.

After all, when Su Yang had escorted the civilians of Yangcheng during their evacuation years ago, he had stayed in Yangcheng for ten days.

"General Su!"

Su Yang asked the gate-guarding soldier: "Has the Southwest Emergency Brigade arrived?"

He had returned to Zhangcheng precisely to meet Yao Xing.

To deal with the threat of the Beast-Emperor Human-Faced Spider, Qin Qin Pengcheng had dispatched Yao Xing to the western region, and the most likely place for them to be stationed was Zhangcheng.

Taking the initiative to strike was something they absolutely wouldn't dare.

Without reinforcements from General Headquarters, they were no match for a Beast-Emperor at all!

"Your subordinate has been guarding the city gate all day, so I can't say for certain, but I heard that ten Worm Subways arrived today!"

"Thank you!" Su Yang turned his head and said to the three women behind him, "Follow me. No matter what happens, don't be surprised."

The moment Su Yang finished speaking, he and the three women instantly teleported to a spot three hundred meters away inside the city.

After ten flashes, they arrived before the Zhangcheng Military Headquarters.

Many people in Zhangcheng, who witnessed all of this, felt as if they had seen a ghost.

In the Zhangcheng military camp, several emergency squads gathered together.

They were all somewhat anxious about this battle.

The Beast Emperor's Legion is simply too hard to fight—without an Emperor-rank Beast Tamer, we can only rely on sheer numbers of lives!

"I heard that the human-faced spider Beast Emperor is extremely difficult to handle!"

"Which Beast Emperor is easy to handle?"

"If Beast Emperors were easy to handle, we wouldn't have written our wills before setting out… sigh!"

"Won't the General Headquarters send an Emperor-rank Beast Tamer to assist us?"

"They should—General Qin will surely request reinforcements from the General Headquarters!"

"We'd best bring General Su here—with General Su, our chances of victory would greatly increase, and fewer people would die!"

"…."

Upon entering the military headquarters, the Lord of Zhangcheng personally came downstairs to greet them.

Su Yang also saw Yao Xing beside the Lord of Zhangcheng.

Yao Xing looked at Su Yang with a smile, a cigarette pinched between his fingers.

"Greetings, General Su!"

"Greetings, General Su!"

Su Yang returned their salutes and laughed: "Major Yao, I didn't expect you to arrive in Zhangcheng so quickly!"

"I was worried before, but seeing you and Liu Mengyun, I'm no longer afraid!" Yao Xing gave Su Yang a warm embrace. "General Su, I'm glad you're here—everyone's been talking about you!"

"When fierce beasts appear in the southwest, I naturally had to come take a look!"

"Thank you!" Yao Xing released Su Yang and said, "This time, I may have to rely on you. Chen Jianping already told me—the human-faced spider is already an Emperor-rank fierce beast, with Emperor-rank subordinates. Without an Emperor-rank Beast Tamer to hold the line, we'll suffer heavy losses!"

"Yes! With Su Yang on the scene, that Beast Emperor won't be able to stir up any trouble!"

The Lord of Zhangcheng also chuckled beside him.

Xia Na added from the side: "You're absolutely right—with General Su here, that Beast Emperor is as good as caught already!"

At that moment, Yao Xing frowned, sniffed the air, and asked in confusion: "The bloodstink is overwhelming—you've clearly just fought!"

Su Yang laughed heartily: "Major Yao, I've got some very, very bad news for you—you've made this trip for nothing!"

"What do you mean?"

Yao Xing was still bewildered.

Liu Mengyun said: "The Beast Emperor's Legion is gone!"
