Chapter 1538: Baozhai and Shenlongshang Society! What Is General Su Hesitating About?

"I've seen the Azure Phoenix!" Su Yang said seriously. "Even among Low-Class Divine Beasts, the Azure Phoenix is already an extremely formidable existence..."

Qin Longyun nodded solemnly.

He felt Su Yang's words made perfect sense—and were very pleasing to hear.

"But I feel that Flame Phoenix's strength surpasses even the Azure Phoenix!" Su Yang said earnestly. "My Divine Beast certainly wouldn't stand a chance against it... unless I could own two Divine Beasts!"

Chen Tianwu and Qin Longyun nodded, as if understanding Su Yang's point.

Su Yang smiled: "Also, our Huaxia Federation will soon appear on the Beast Tamer Continent. When that happens, I hope the Baozhai will lend us some support!"

Chen Tianwu suddenly understood.

Everything made sense now.

Su Yang figured that since Divine Beasts couldn't be caught anyway,

he might as well trade unattainable Divine Beast intelligence for some Sovereign-Rank Top-Grade Fierce Beast eggs—and meanwhile, build a good relationship with the Baozhai!

Chen Tianwu even thought Su Yang was wise.

Because small-world nations like this are generally weak.

Once they integrate into the larger Beast Tamer world and border other nations, they'll likely be looted clean!

Now that the Huaxia Federation is on good terms with the Qin Luan Nation, if the Baozhai is willing to back them, Su Yang's country will be far safer.

At least no massive invading armies would appear!

Chen Tianwu thought for a moment and said: "I'm sorry, General Su, I can't make that decision."

"Really not?"

"I can report to our Baozhai superiors and speak highly of you, General Su!" Chen Tianwu continued. "You're a God-Level Beast Tamer. If your intelligence is true, our Baozhai is still willing to cooperate peacefully with the nation behind you."

Peaceful cooperation?

Su Yang felt this sounded more like capital invasion!

But Su Yang couldn't worry about it now.

Once his strength increased, wouldn't everything still come down to power?

"Alright!"

Su Yang put on a look of deep disappointment.

As if failing to forge a connection with the Baozhai had left him heartbroken.

Qin Longyun asked curiously: "Can you tell us more about that Flame Phoenix? What kind of Divine Beast is it?"

"I don't know its name, but it's huge, covered entirely in orange-red flames—just like fire itself!"

"Orange-red?"

Chen Tianwu suddenly looked up, his eyes fixed tightly on Su Yang.

"Yeah! Is there a problem?"

Chen Tianwu took a deep breath, recalling something very important.

About their rivals—the Shenlongshang Society.

"Did that Phoenix leave any clues?"

"Clues?" Su Yang thought for a moment. "Would a clump of flame count as a clue?"

"Of course it would!"

"Brother Chen, why are you so excited?"

Qin Longyun noticed Chen Tianwu had lost his composure.

Chen Tianwu smiled, regaining his calm: "If the Divine Beast you described really is that Phoenix, you definitely couldn't stand a chance against it!"

Qin Longyun asked: "Really?"

"It's true!" Chen Tianwu thought for a moment and said. "Brother Qin, please don't spread word of this Divine Beast. That Phoenix is our Baozhai's target."

Su Yang pondered Chen Tianwu's words.

He had roughly guessed the relationship between the Baozhai and the Shenlongshang Society was likely very bad.

Qin Longyun laughed heartily: "No problem! Brother Chen knows how good our two families' relationship is—I've sold you so many slaves at discounts..."

Chen Tianwu held up three fingers: "We'll raise your slave prices by thirty percent, buy them at our Baozhai's standard wholesale rate—and in return, Brother Qin, you keep this quiet."

"How could I possibly accept that?"

Qin Longyun feigned modesty.

"No need to be modest!" Chen Tianwu said. "But Brother Qin, don't leak this news—otherwise our Baozhai's Beast Tamers will be furious."

"Don't worry!" Qin Longyun didn't overdo it. "My word has always been tight—I won't leak a single word of this."

"Those slaves might have seen that Flame Phoenix!"

Su Yang offered a slight reminder.

Chen Tianwu nodded.

The news of the Extinction Phoenix must be extremely important to Chen Tianwu.

The next day, he handed Su Yang five Sovereign-Rank Top-Grade Fierce Beast eggs and demanded Su Yang take him to see the flame left by that Flame Phoenix.

Su Yang didn't reveal his Spatial-Type Fierce Beast; instead, he slowly led him to the Southeast Deep Sea region, to that spatial rift.

At the spatial rift, a single orange-red Extinction Flame still flickered.

Chen Tianwu could clearly sense the God-Level flame energy contained within the Extinction Flame.

Chen Tianwu licked his dry lips.

His heart stirred with excitement.

This was almost certainly the Divine Beast he had imagined!

The Shenlongshang Society's methods are indeed secretive.

But if a plan spans two or three hundred years and involves fighting that divine beast, how could their Eight Treasures Hall possibly remain in the dark?

"That flame phoenix — I've seen it twice." Su Yang said slowly. "Eight years ago, it appeared once. About two months ago, it showed up again, but I didn't dare make a move on it, and I don't know where it went."

Su Yang pointed to the other side of the spatial rift: "However, this spatial rift constantly has fierce fire-element fierce beasts running out of it. I think the other side is very likely that flame phoenix's territory!"

Chen Tianwu gazed at the spatial rift dyed fiery red, felt the powerful fire-attribute spiritual energy emanating from within, and roughly guessed which region lay on the other side.

But exactly where the other side led still required going in to investigate!

He — did not dare to go!
