Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1529 - 428: Chaos Unleashed
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
Luckily, it didn't take long for Rong Zun to find several indicators.
Its vision pierced through the distorted spatial paths, quickly identifying the lingering traces of the teleportation.
Based on this trajectory...
Was their destination the West Profound Domain?
Rong Zun felt a sense of relief wash over him upon discovering Lin Su's potential location.
If they were there, he simply needed to head to the West Profound Domain to begin his search; finding them shouldn't take much time.
However, just as he prepared to depart, his expression shifted abruptly.
Terrifying silhouettes descended from the void with incredible velocity, effectively encircling the island where Rong Zun stood in a tight siege.
These newcomers immediately identified the formidable eighth-realm presence of Rong Zun, instantly exerting pressure on him with their respective rule powers.
Rong Zun looked toward the Time Master hovering in the sky.
Though they had crossed paths briefly before, this was their first true confrontation.
To his surprise, the Time Master had reached the ninth realm!
Furthermore, three other eighth-realm immortals accompanied him, along with a multitude of seventh-realm and lower-ranked immortals.
It was also unclear if this force represented the entirety of the Time Master's followers.
Had the Southern Wilderness Domain truly reached this level of power?
Despite his internal shock, Rong Zun maintained a composed exterior and asked, "What do you want?"
“Not here...”
The Time Master did not even glance at Rong Zun upon his arrival.
After realizing the island was deserted, a murderous chill flashed in his eyes. He finally turned his gaze toward Rong Zun, the only living soul remaining. "Where is the life that was in this place?"
Rong Zun’s heart grew heavy.
The most unfavorable scenario had unfolded.
The Time Master had come specifically seeking Lin Su.
How had he discovered Lin Su’s existence?
And what had caused such hostility between Lin Su and these people?
Rong Zun was in the dark regarding those details.
Nevertheless, he knew exactly what he had to do in this moment.
Noticing two seventh-realm immortals with space attributes among the crowd, Rong Zun discreetly wiped away the final remnants of the teleportation signature before putting on a look of confusion.
“Life? I’ve only just arrived myself and haven't seen a soul!”
...
“Very well, you are registered.”
Lin Su had followed several Sky Soaring Realm experts into Jade Dragon City, where he was promptly escorted to a facility to finish the required paperwork.
“Keep this,” an officer from the Emperor Martial Palace said, handing Lin Su a wooden token carved with his information. “This must be presented whenever you enter other cities.”
“Understood, thank you.” Lin Su politely tucked the wooden plaque into his clothes. “In that case, I will be on my way.”
“Go on then! It’s quite a feat for someone as weak as you to brave the Endless Sea,” the Emperor Martial Palace expert remarked jokingly, his suspicion having vanished.
Since Lin Su’s pet beast was nowhere to be seen and he displayed respectable physical conditioning, they assumed he was merely a low-level martial artist.
“Hahaha, I’ve always been a bit reckless since I was a boy,” Lin Su replied with a forced laugh. He exited the registration office, his eyes turning thoughtful.
He wondered if the Time Master had picked up their scent.
Regardless of whether their trail was found, the Time Master would likely halt the chase for now, knowing they had reached the West Profound Domain.
Had it been otherwise, the time it took for him to register would have been more than enough for them to catch up.
For the time being, maintaining a low profile was essential.
The best course of action would be to reach the rank of a legend-level beast master while in the West Profound Domain to increase his strength before finding a way back to the Eastern Extreme Domain.
Lin Su felt a heavy weight of urgency when he considered that the Time Master had reached the ninth realm and commanded seven eighth-realm subordinates.
Time was running out for him.
Suddenly, his focus shifted as he looked toward the sky.
From the heart of Jade Dragon City, several powerful presences shot into the air, flying toward the horizon.
These auras clearly belonged to those at the Martial Arts Extreme Realm.
What caught Lin Su’s attention even more was that, aside from the person in the lead, the attire of the other Martial Arts Extreme Realm experts looked strikingly familiar.
This was the West Profound Domain, after all.
Could such a coincidence really occur?
“Senior,” Lin Su said, stopping the Emperor Martial Palace expert who was walking away and pointing toward the sky. “Could you tell me who those powerful seniors are?”
He made sure his eyes reflected a sense of awe, mimicking someone who yearned for such strength after witnessing the power of the Martial Arts Extreme Realm.
“Oh?” The expert from the Emperor Martial Palace smiled. “The man in front is Zhao Fenghua, who oversees Jade Dragon City. The others are visitors from the Eastern Extreme Domain.”
“There are six major sects in the Eastern Extreme Domain, all established by legend-level beast tamers and Martial Domain Realm experts. The Hunyuan Taoist Sect is the most prominent among them. Those individuals are experts sent by the Hunyuan Taoist Sect to visit our Emperor Martial Palace.”
The expert spoke with a clear sense of pride.
The fact that sects from the distant Eastern Extreme Domain traveled so far to visit the Emperor Martial Palace was a testament to their organization's influence.
Because of this, he didn't hold back and shared what he knew with a bit of a boastful tone.
Speaking of these matters seemed to boost his own status as a member of the Emperor Martial Palace.
The expert failed to notice the fleeting surge of killing intent in Lin Su’s gaze.
The head of the six sects?
The Hunyuan Taoist Sect certainly has some nerve.
But now wasn't the time to obsess over that.
His intuition had been correct.
Those Martial Arts Extreme Realm experts were indeed members of the Hunyuan Taoist Sect.
Their journey from the Eastern Extreme Domain to the West Profound Domain likely suggested an agenda that was far from simple.
At this moment, Lin Su was unaware that the incidents he faced in the Northern Divine Domain involved the Hunyuan Taoist Sect; had he known, he would have instantly linked their arrival to their true goals.
