The Art of Subduing Dragons

Chapter 64

Ruan Li was shocked, while the Wind-Suppressing Envoys were furious.

The two Cloud-Robbing Envoys had gained a considerable reputation over the years. They were respected wherever they went, and they could hardly tolerate being spoken to in such a manner by a mere girl. Their expressions darkened, and they were ready to retaliate.

Before they could move forward, a young man stepped between them. He was dressed in a dark robe, with prominent brows and large eyes that gave him an extraordinary presence. He bore a faint resemblance to the woman in the azure dress, but unlike her soft and charming demeanor, he had a solemn expression that made him appear even more serious than the usually strict Nangong Jue.

"My younger sister is young and speaks impulsively. Meng Qiao offers his apologies to the two of you on her behalf." He raised his hand to stop them, then clasped his fists and gave them a bow.

His tone and actions were calm, and although he was apologizing, there was little sign of actual regret. After speaking, he continued to look at the two Wind-Suppressing Envoys with an expressionless face.

Strangely, after hearing the young man's name, the previously tense duo stepped back without showing much reaction. Although their expressions remained unfriendly, the hostility from before had dissipated.

"Meng Qiao of the Six Wonders Pavilion is currently the most talented disciple of the sect. His beast-taming skills are unparalleled, and he has reached the Golden Core stage. His reputation in the immortal sects is not smaller than that of Nangong Jue," Su Yu explained to Ruan Li, who was observing the commotion.

Ruan Li had joined the sect later and thus hadn't interacted with Meng Qiao before.

Anyone who could reach the Golden Core stage was exceptional among their peers. Meng Qiao not only excelled in cultivation but also had impressive spiritual beasts. Unlike the other five great immortal sects, the Six Wonders Pavilion's disciples not only focus on cultivation but also specialize in beast-taming techniques.

While other sects might excel in refining artifacts or alchemy, the beast-taming technique was a tradition unique to the Six Wonders Pavilion. Only their disciples could form contracts with spiritual beasts with the aid of their sect.

In theory, the ability to form contracts with spiritual beasts should have strengthened the Six Wonders Pavilion. However, after the great battle against the demon race, successful contracts with spiritual beasts became increasingly rare. Even when there were beasts, their quality was often low.

During that war, when the immortal sects and the dragon race split, and the Six Wonders Pavilion's leader managed to form a contract with a captured dragon, it allowed the sect to rebound from near exclusion.

However, taming dragons is no easy feat, as dragons are incredibly rare. Thus, only those with exceptional talent can even approach them.

Meng Qiao had already successfully contracted a rare Six-Feathered Bluebird before the Six Wonders Pavilion attempted to tame dragons. Now, the bird could transform and, under Meng Qiao's enhancement, was nearing the Nascent Soul stage.

Furthermore, Meng Qiao already had three spiritual beasts under his command, a feat even the Pavilion's leader had not achieved. His future potential was immense, explaining why even the domineering Wind-Suppressing Envoys had to restrain themselves in his presence.

"Is the girl in green Meng Qiao's sister? I heard from Master before that Meng Qiao's sister is weak and has an unstable heart, making her unsuitable for cultivation. How did she come here?" Hua Xuwan remembered that Jiang Yuebai had mentioned years ago that Meng Qiao's younger sister had been brought to Tianyan Sect by Meng Qiao, seeking Jiang Yuebai's help for her.
