Chapter 131: Xinyun In Trouble

Within an enormous mansion located in the northeastern part of Gaoyi City.

The spacious hall was partly filled with the golden glow of the evening sunset, which sharply contrasted with the areas that the rays couldn't reach.

However, there were no servants within the vast hall. Only two figures could be seen sitting on the head seats. They seemed to be discussing something.

The person on the left was wearing a set of beautiful clothes. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes as well as a rough face. However, he exuded a faint imposing aura. This person was the head of the house of Zhao, Zhao Xing; The person on the right was wearing a black gown. He had thin lips and a sharp nose. He had black hair, but streaks of gray could be seen in it. He looked around the age of fifty. In his arms, a black cat-like beast with three tails could be seen as he stroked it rather passively. This person was called Li Chen, and he was a mid-stage Soul Ancestor from the Beast Taming School who came to subjugate the house of Zhao.

"Attendant Li, it has almost been a day since your men have left. They still haven't returned yet, could it be that their pursuit has failed? That quickshade bird..." Zhao Xing slightly furrowed his brows as he glanced outside before he carefully asked a question.

Li Chen's expression remained unchanged. However, he leaned his head slightly as he shot a glance at Zhao Xing. He then indifferently said, "What? Does the Head of the house of Zhao think that my Beast Taming School is unable to retrieve that quickshade bird?"

"No no, that isn't what I meant. It's just that....the quickshade bird is considerably strong, and combined with the two soul cultivators, then if it were to try its best to run away...."

"Worry not, While Wu Sen may only be a late-stage Soul Sprite, he is the tamer of the Thunderbird, an early-stage fifth-tier soulbeast. Dealing with the still recovering quickshade bird will be of no problem at all. Of the two soul cultivators, Wu Sen can deal with the mid-stage Soul Sprite. The master of the quickshade bird is merely a Soul Warrior, so either Fang Hao or Tai Ping would be able to bring her to submission as they will without a problem. They should be returning soon in fact." Li Chen spoke calmly as he caressed the three-tailed spirit cat.

Zhao Xing hesitated for a while before he said, "But... that quickshade bird has already signed a soul contract with someone else. This..."
Li Chen furrowed his eyebrows as he spoke, "Let me reassure you, I will of course have a way to fulfill my promise to you. That soul cultivator is weak, and the soul contract she made with the quickshade bird was only just made not too long ago. When the time comes in the future, I'll teach you a secret of the Beast Taming School that'll allow you to force the soul seal into a slave seal. With the slave seal, you will be able to control the quickshade bird as you please. The intelligence of the bird will drop by several degrees, but you'll be able to control the bird to your orders as you please."

Zhao Xing's eyes brightened, and he was almost unable to conceal his excitement;Although he would only obtain a basic secret technique of the Beast Taming School, this indicated that he was already considered as a half-disciple of the Beast Taming School. This was something that was completely beneficial for the future development of the house of Zhao.

"Yes, yes! Many thanks to attendant Li for supporting me! In the future, my house of Zhao will follow the Beast Taming School heart and soul. I will wholeheartedly serve my school!"

When Zhao Xing saw that Li Chen had shut his eyes to rest, he didn't dare to continue with his flattery. He turned around to look outside the house with an excited light flickering in his eyes. He thought to himself, "With the support of the Beast Taming School, the City Lord and the house of Liu won't be able to do anything. I'll have the quickshade bird in my hands; when Zhao Chuan delivers that brat from the house of Ye to me, I'll no longer have to rely on the help of the Beast Taming School to force the house of Ye to a compromise! At that time, my house of Zhao will be able to suppress the house of Liu to finally become the number one family of Gaoyi City!"
