Chapter 1793

However, for safety's sake, Su Yang did not summon the Void Wandering Spirit or the Exploding Yan Mo back to his side.

With Tan Zhiqing and her group of divine-level beast tamer present, they would definitely be discovered.

He merely ordered his two beast companions not to approach him, to avoid drawing Tan Zhiqing's attention.

Later, Su Yang would naturally go to retrieve them.

Su Yang paused slightly, and Xia Na, who was following behind him, nearly collided with his body.

"Master, what's wrong?"

"Nothing!"

"Oh!"

Xia Na nodded thoughtfully.

She clearly knew this was not the time to ask questions.

Two hours later, the team leader, Long Zhanglao, said: "We're almost there!"

Su Yang sensed that not far ahead, a large group of beast tamers had gathered, and spatial energy was leaking out.

He also smelled a stench of blood.

Half an hour later, the group finally arrived at their destination.

Before them stretched a vast canyon, its sides lined with numerous beast tamer mercenary bands and adventurers.

Besides them, over a thousand armored beast tamer soldiers were equally conspicuous.

"The Babaozhai people have arrived!"

"Again them?!"

"Damn it, if I'd known, I'd have rushed in with those others—now that Babaozhai's here, we definitely can't get in!"

"They're too tyrannical!"

"Exactly!"

"They won't even leave us a drop of broth!"

"This isn't the first time we've seen this!"

"These big powers only know how to hoard everything!"

"…"

Hearing these remarks, Su Yang guessed the general situation.

The secret realm lay within the canyon; some beast tamers had already breached it, and after Chen Guo's elite arrived, they sealed off all entrances, forbidding anyone else from entering.

Su Yang didn't care about this.

Isn't the beast tamer grand world ruled by strength?

It's natural for major powers to monopolize most resources.

If they have the strength to claim it all… why share it with irrelevant common beast tamers?

"General Liu Shengwu of Chen Guo greets Elder Long!"

A general clad in golden armor rushed forward upon seeing Babaozhai's arrival and bowed respectfully to Long Zhanglao.

Long Zhanglao nodded: "General Liu, what's the current situation?"

"Upon receiving word, we immediately dispatched troops here and sealed all passages!" General Liu reported. "Most beast tamers attempting to enter have been stopped by us."

Su Yang looked into the canyon and saw numerous corpses scattered haphazardly.

There were corpses of beast companions, human beast tamers, and demon beast tamers.

In the beast tamer grand world, beast tamers without background or patrons live an extremely hard life.

Not only is it difficult to obtain superior beast companions, but even acquiring resources requires risking one's life.

To achieve a remarkable rise, one needs courage, talent, and considerable fortune!

Of course, this is reality.

"Good!" Long Zhanglao paid no attention to the beast tamers who had already entered. "Have your personnel ready for entry?"

General Liu: "Your Excellency, the two hundred have been prepared!"

"Good. We will send seven hundred in; leave three hundred to guard the entrances and exits for you."

"Thank you, Elder Long!"

Babaozhai's seven hundred and Chen Guo's two hundred constituted a division of interests.

Even though this secret realm appeared within Chen Guo's territory, Babaozhai still claimed the majority share!

"I didn't expect Babaozhai to be even more tyrannical than Chen Guo!"

"Exactly! The secret realm appeared in Chen Guo's territory, yet they still take the lion's share!"

"Babaozhai is powerful! Across the Central Region, they're still among the top powers!"

"I wish Shenlongshang Alliance would wipe out Babaozhai!"

"…"

These common beast tamers had no idea that even from this distance, their conversations were clearly heard by Babaozhai's divine-level beast tamers.

Yet most of Babaozhai's elders showed no expression.

They completely ignored these gossipers.

Or rather, they simply didn't care.

Unless their president ordered them to clean them up.

"Tell your people that inside the secret realm, try to avoid fighting!" Elder Long instructed. "I'll also tell our Babaozhai people to exercise restraint—quickly survey the realm and gather resources is the real priority."

"I understand, Elder Long!"

"Go!"

Elder Long turned around and immediately arranged the teams to enter the secret realm.

Su Yang was actually interested in the secret realm, but all these elders had been assigned to the outside.

Those entering the secret realm were two other God-Rank Low-Grade Beast Tamer from Baozhai, along with Elder Long.

Su Yang's team's mission was still to ambush the Shenlongshang Alliance with Tan Zhiqing.

Soon, Elder Long left one God-Rank Beast Tamer to hold the position, and took another God-Rank Beast Tamer, along with seven hundred elite Baozhai members, into the great canyon.

Chen Guo's two hundred men followed closely behind.

The remaining God-Rank Beast Tamer ordered the other three hundred Baozhai elites—two hundred to enter the canyon and guard the entrance alongside Chen Guo's elite troops, and one hundred to patrol near the secret realm!

Thus, Su Yang's small squad was assigned to patrol duty.

Just after leaving the secret realm, the group headed straight into the depths of the Human-Demon Forest, toward the demon tribe's territory.

Tan Zhiqing asked: "Are you all ready?"

This time, Baozhai deployed most of its God-Rank elders, just to deliver a crushing blow to the Shenlongshang Alliance!

Of course, this move was also highly risky.

If the Shenlongshang Alliance uncovered their plan and Baozhai's God-Rank Beast Tamers suffered heavy losses, they would find it hard to resist the Shenlongshang Alliance again.

Fortunately, Tan Zhiqing's secrecy measures were excellent.

The selected elders had all been tested by the old chairman and the Grand Elder—loyalty was not an issue.

Even Su Yang occasionally had the Seven-Colored Illusionary Butterfly check whether any of these elders showed signs of betrayal.

It was truly diligent work!

"Ready!"

"Chairman, we're ready!"

"Then follow the original plan—scatter into the Human-Demon Forest. Once you spot Baozhai's troop movements, notify me immediately!"

The Human-Demon Forest was vast, and the Shenlongshang Alliance had many possible entry routes into Chen Guo.

Or rather, they didn't even need paths—they could just fly in.

Baozhai's God-Rank Beast Tamers needed to spread out slightly to detect enemies earlier.

Of course, such dispersion allowed God-Rank Beast Tamers to reach support quickly.

When Tan Zhiqing assigned this mission, Su Yang volunteered, saying his flight-type beast companion excelled at reconnaissance, and his space-type beast companion moved at incredible speed.

Tan Zhiqing assigned Su Yang a large search area.

"Scatter!"

"Yes!"

The God-Rank Beast Tamers dispersed, with Tan Zhiqing positioned at the center of the reconnaissance network—the most likely spot to encounter the Shenlongshang Alliance.

Stormhawk carried Su Yang and Xia Na up into the high sky.
