Chapter 809: It was hard enough to run into other beast tamers

Everywhere the eye could see, there was only thick smoke, fiery red magma, and an endless supply of fire-elemental fierce beasts to kill.

The ears were filled with the sound of churning magma, volcanic eruptions, and the occasional rumble of earthquakes.

The nose was overwhelmed by the pungent smell of sulfur.

And the scorching heat!

The underground world was a desolate wasteland.

Ordinary beast tamers could not survive in a place like this at all!

Ten days passed, and Elder Yun began to feel bored.

Fortunately, Su Yang was there to keep her company, which gave her someone to talk to.

Twenty days passed, and Elder Yun began to feel stifled.

No matter how much one had to say, there came a time when it was all said.

Elder Yun had already chatted about everything she could with Su Yang.

To keep talking would mean delving into secrets and classified matters.

A month passed, and Elder Yun was losing her patience.

She looked at Su Yang, who had by then swapped out the Ying Dragon and let the Explosive Flame Demon possess his body.

He was busy rolling small fireballs and molding little fire hawks, having a blast blowing things up.

Occasionally, Elder Yun could catch a faint smile on Su Yang's lips after an explosion.

"Su Yang, aren't you bored?"

"It's alright!" Su Yang smiled and said, "Aren't we supposed to be searching for that phoenix?"

"That's true!"

They had been searching the underground magma world for a month and had found nothing, but they hadn't finished covering the phoenix's territory.

In truth, for a divine beast, they could track it for a year, a decade, or even a century.

But the underground world was just too desolate and too boring.

"Su Yang, it's a good thing I have you!"

"Have me?"

"If it weren't for you, I think I would have died of boredom!" Elder Yun laughed.

Su Yang smiled and didn't pay it much mind.

Elder Yun's words were a bit of an exaggeration.

Without him, boredom was a certainty.

But dying of boredom? That was impossible.

"Su Yang, have you ever thought about joining our Eight Treasures Pavilion?"

"I am a Federal General now!"

"That doesn't conflict with joining the Eight Treasures Pavilion!" Elder Yun said. "Take me, for example; I am not only an elder of the Eight Treasures Pavilion but also a member of the Wuyun Kingdom's royal family."

"Wuyun Kingdom?"

Su Yang knew of this country.

It was considered a famous, large empire, even stronger than the Qingluan Kingdom.

However, it was quite far from the Qingluan Kingdom, making it difficult to exert influence there.

The strongest nation near the Qingluan Kingdom was the Shenfeng Kingdom.

The two countries often had conflicts and friction.

Most of the nations distributed around the Qingluan Kingdom and the Shenfeng Kingdom were small.

These small nations, lacking God-level beast tamers, could only rely on the Qingluan Kingdom or the Shenfeng Kingdom, struggling to survive in the cracks.

"Yes, the Wuyun Kingdom. Have you heard of it?"

"I have!"

"For someone like you who isn't a direct descendant of the Eight Treasures Pavilion, even if you are a God-level beast tamer, joining is actually quite difficult. It requires not only powerful strength but also passing an assessment, followed by recommendations from other elders, and finally, the consent of the majority of the elders to join!" Elder Yun looked at Su Yang with a smile. "Getting an elder to guarantee and recommend you is very difficult, because if something goes wrong, the elder who guaranteed you will be implicated. Generally, elders are unwilling to guarantee others."

"Oh!"

He didn't know if it was his imagination, but Su Yang always felt that Elder Yun wanted to be his guarantor.

"Su Yang, do you have any thoughts about joining the Eight Treasures Pavilion?"

"I haven't made up my mind yet!"

"Actually, for you, there are many benefits to joining the Eight Treasures Pavilion. We still hold some influence in the Great World of Beast Tamers!"

"You were born in a small world; being able to break through to the God-level is already a sign of immense talent, but the path ahead will be very difficult. Joining the Eight Treasures Pavilion means there are many seniors who can guide your way!"

"Furthermore, once you join the Eight Treasures Pavilion, the country behind you can firmly establish itself in the Great World of Beast Tamers, and no faction nearby would dare to touch you."

Su Yang understood all these principles.

What he was curious about was why Elder Yun was telling him so much.

Could it be that the Eight Treasures Pavilion wanted to recruit him?

But it didn't seem like it!

Because Su Yang noticed that Elder Yun's attitude had only slowly shifted recently.

It felt more like Elder Yun personally wanted to bring him into the fold.

"Thank you, Elder Yun, I will consider it carefully!"

Elder Yun smiled meaningfully: "If you decide, I will tell my sister."

"Mm!"

"By the way, from now on, just call me Sister Yun!"

"Alright, Sister Yun!"

Elder Yun revealed a satisfied smile.

Su Yang also felt that calling her Sister Yun was quite normal.

Elder Yun's behavior and mannerisms were somewhat youthful, but she was likely older than him.

However, he always felt that Elder Yun seemed to have other intentions toward him.

In her words, Elder Yun kept implying that the hardest part of joining the Eight Treasures Pavilion was the guarantee.

But if he were willing to join, she would be willing to act as his guarantor!

Having suffered the painful lesson from the phoenix last time, Elder Yun's proactive display of goodwill instead made him vigilant.

He had no intention of taking the bait for free benefits without first understanding the reason.

Even if he did figure out the reason, it might not be the true one.

"It seems there are beast tamers approaching!"

Just then, Elder Yun said.

Su Yang summoned the Seven-Colored Psychedelic Butterfly, which quickly located the others.

"Fifty kilometers away, there are five people. The strongest is only at the low-grade Emperor level, and they are being hunted by an Emperor-level fierce beast!" Su Yang said. "They are upstream of this dark magma river. At their speed, they should appear in about two minutes."

The dark magma river was extremely winding, and some sections even required diving into the churning magma.

The movement speed of beast tamers was severely restricted.

Elder Yun ordered: "Kill them all!"

"Alright!"

The two stopped in a slightly wider area of the underground world. A minute later, they saw five beast tamers running over, followed by an Emperor-level Evil Flame Dragon!

Upon seeing Su Yang and Elder Yun, the five beast tamers immediately shouted: "Save us!"

With a flap of the Seven-Colored Psychedelic Butterfly's wings, the five fleeing beast tamers, along with the Emperor-level Evil Flame Dragon, all fell into the churning magma.

Elder Yun stared at the magma and sighed softly: "What a pity, it was so hard to run into other people."

Su Yang looked up at the sky in silence.

It was she who had clearly said to kill them all!

"Su Yang, are you rolling your eyes at me?"

"Yes!"

Su Yang had long since figured out Elder Yun's strength; she was likely also a low-grade God-level beast tamer.

Since they were both low-grade God-level, Su Yang was confident he could handle her.

He was relatively casual around her.

Hearing Su Yang's words, Elder Yun didn't get angry; instead, she covered her mouth and laughed.
