Chapter 1699: The Leader of the Shenlongshang Alliance Receives and Tests Him!

Su Yang found Yun Shuying and entered Baozhaide City under her guidance.

After meeting Elder Jian and Elder Long, Su Yang entered the Babaozhai Society headquarters.

In truth, Su Yang had told Xia Na he had no problems and was confident.

But now that he stood before the Babaozhai Society headquarters, preparing to meet its leader, he still felt some pressure.

After all, the Babaozhai Society's leader was at least a millennia-old monster!

Su Yang didn't know his strength, but he guessed he was likely God-Rank High-Grade.

Yet even if he felt nervous inside, he could never show fear.

Elder Jian smiled and said, "Come in!"

"Mm!"

As he passed through a door, a gentle energy poured out.

Before Su Yang appeared a vast garden.

The garden was filled with rare fruits and exotic flowers, and many powerful plant-type ferocious beasts.

Su Yang had never seen these rare fruits or plant-type ferocious beasts before.

The Beast Tamer Great World was immense; it was normal he hadn't seen them, being new here.

Su Yang's gaze quickly settled on a hunched, white-haired elder.

The plain-clad white-haired elder looked like an ordinary gardener, digging with a small hoe.

Su Yang felt no energy fluctuation from him.

Yet the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly told Su Yang the man's soul was incredibly strong!

His aura was sealed completely, with not a single leak.

Beside him, a petite Emperor-Rank plant-type ferocious beast sat obediently, pretending to be a real flowering plant.

Big shots!

They all act like this!

If Su Yang retired, he might even try this himself.

"Leader, Chen Feng has arrived!"

"Good!"

The leader looked up and smiled warmly at Su Yang.

He stepped out of the garden and sized Su Yang up.

His gaze was gentle, causing Su Yang no discomfort.

But Su Yang didn't believe that.

If anyone thought the Babaozhai Society's leader was a good man, they were a fool!

He believed what he saw, but he trusted the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly's perception more.

The man indeed held no ill will toward him.

"Sit!"

The leader pointed to a simple wooden bench and sat down first.

Soon, real servants arrived to pour tea.

Even the servants dressed more splendidly than the leader.

The moment the tea was poured, its fragrance filled the air, as if it would overflow the entire world.

Merely smelling the tea fragrance made Su Yang's spirit perk up.

Few things could still stimulate Su Yang's spirit these days.

"I never expected you, young friend, would come to see me!"

Su Yang smiled and said, "How could I refuse when the elder summoned me?"

When Su Yang last came to Baozhaide City, out of caution, he had indeed politely declined entry.

But now it was different.

He had killed a God-Rank Beast Tamer of the Shenlongshang Alliance and helped dismantle one of its branches.

He had at least proven he was not a spy for the Shenlongshang Alliance.

He had proven his usefulness to the Babaozhai Society.

"Please, have some tea," the leader smiled. "This is my personal reserve—even Elder Jian and Elder Long have only tasted it a few times."

"Good!"

Su Yang lifted the teacup and drained it in one gulp!

As expected, the moment the tea entered his body, Su Yang felt weightless, as if floating among the immortals!

His soul felt ready to soar!

The Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly inside him hummed softly.

That sound of pure bliss—if overheard by outsiders, they'd likely misunderstand.

But Su Yang knew the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly was enjoying the tea's flavor.

His soul was being nourished!

The Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly inside him also gained considerable benefits.

The experience bar on the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly's status panel had risen significantly!

It was truly a precious item!

Especially soul-nourishing heavenly treasures were exceedingly rare.

Seeing Su Yang drain the cup in one gulp, the Babaozhai Society leader's lips twitched slightly…

But as the host, he couldn't say much.

He merely took a small sip of tea and gestured with his eyes for the servant to refill Su Yang's cup.

The tea was full again, and Su Yang wasn't the least surprised.

The conversation hadn't even begun—how could one not offer tea to a guest?

He had already been thinking of taking advantage.

Rich dog, must be bled dry!

Miss this chance, and next time might be years or even decades away.

Next, the chairman began chatting with Su Yang.

He asked about Su Yang's grievances with the Shenlongshang Alliance, his impressions of the Babaozhai, his past experiences, brought up the Babaozhai's own feud with the Shenlongshang Alliance, and even mentioned the Extinction Phoenix…

In the end, he praised Su Yang for being young and accomplished.

He believed Su Yang had the talent to advance further and become a God-Rank Mid-Grade Beast Tamer.
