Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1551 - 432: The New Power Structure of the Eastern Extreme Domain
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
This isn't ideal...
As the three sects lowered their heads and departed, Zhou Chaotian drew in a deep breath, unable to hold back a tsk of his tongue.
Indeed, ruthless.
The Heavenly Rank Secret Realms belonging to the three sects have all been pledged as collateral.
He felt even more glad that he'd frequently ignored Qi Xuandao's warnings about the dangers posed by the Beast Tamers lineage.
Had he actually gone against family traditions and joined forces with that man, it would've spelled catastrophe.
All of a sudden, Zhou Chaotian sensed a look directed at him.
Locking eyes with Lin Su, he felt a sudden shock run through him.
"Ahem!" Zhou Chaotian cleared his throat with two loud coughs, hastily flashing a friendly grin, "Young friend Lin Su is truly a standout among the young!"
"By the way, your cousin in our Heavenly Casting Pavilion counts as a top talent among the juniors too."
"Our Heavenly Casting Pavilion invites young friend Lin Su to drop by whenever you like."
Zhou Chaotian stressed the word "visit" with particular force, making his intent obvious.
Lin Su smiled brightly while clasping his hands in respect toward Zhou Chaotian, "Senior Zhou flatters me. My cousin has always appreciated the support from the Heavenly Casting Pavilion, and my buddy Lu Ziye trains there as well—it's all connected by destiny."
While talking, his eyes drifted lightly toward another spot on the battlefield.
Lin Su had spotted those two crafty figures ages ago.
"Excellent, excellent!" Zhou Chaotian let out a forced laugh, grasping that Lin Su was nudging him to watch over the pair, "The hour grows late, and my Forging Furnace still holds spiritual weapons in the flames, so I'll head out now."
"Young friend Lin Su, feel free to come by anytime."
With those parting words, Zhou Chaotian called forth the Sky Carrying Turtle Boat, effortlessly lifting the two sprawled on the ground aboard, and sped away in a flash.
This Lin Su proves even trickier than Ji Qinghuan.
If I linger here, the boy might demand a peak spiritual weapon for his dad!
Gazing at Zhou Chaotian's retreating figure, a trace of disappointment crossed Lin Su's features.
Why rush off like that?
Lin Zhen Nan's high-grade spiritual weapon broke during the fight, and he'd hoped to score an upgrade from Zhou Chaotian.
Ah well, he'll bring it up during the next trip over.
With our strong connection, Senior Zhou won't hold back, will he?
"We'll be going too." Yu Yao's face showed a mix of emotions.
Some celebrate, while others fret.
Even though the Hunyuan Taoist Sect bore the worst of it, the three sects shelled out dearly for their scheme.
"The payment and Heavenly Rank Secret Realms arrive tomorrow," Liu Cangming's expression had cooled back to neutrality, "All from Hidden Sword Valley, follow me back to the valley!"
A surge of Sword Qi wrapped around the Hidden Sword Valley group, forming a streak of light that vanished from sight.
Meanwhile, Ji Wupo cast a profound glance at Lin Su, then the crimson river gathered up the Blood Sea Tower members, and they too left swiftly.
After a brief hush, cheers exploded from the Immortal Phoenix Sect's ranks.
Victory was theirs!
Innumerable eyes turned toward Lin Su.
Everyone understood that Lin Su had almost solely reversed the tide of this conflict.
"Master." Lin Su bowed to Ji Qinghuan.
Ji Qinghuan spun around, her gaze brimming with pride as she regarded her student, "There's something I haven't told you."
"Welcome home."
...
Time races on, swift as a steed in gallop.
A full month had passed since the uproar that rattled the whole Eastern Extreme Domain—the turmoil of the Six Sects.
The Hunyuan Taoist Sect faded into history, its lands fully absorbed by the Immortal Phoenix Sect.
Disciples uninvolved in the fight and free of blame were released, while the culprits faced punishment.
Regarding the diverse martial legacies housed in the Hunyuan Taoist Sect...
Though useless to the Immortal Phoenix Sect's Beast Tamers, they weren't handed off to rivals for a bargain.
Instead, they became prizes for the martial powerhouses who battled on behalf of the Immortal Phoenix Sect.
And the Lin Family reaped the greatest rewards of all.
The Hunyuan River from the Hunyuan Taoist Sect, constantly surging with vast elemental might from countless Mixed Element Stones, got relocated straight to the Lin Family.
A host of Hunyuan Taoist Sect martial techniques also plugged the holes in the Lin Family's arsenal.
The Lin Family's ascent stirred envy in many, yet sparked no resentment.
Not just due to Lin Su—their fierce stand in that war had witnesses everywhere.
With merely five sects remaining in the Eastern Extreme Domain, the balance of power flipped entirely.
The Immortal Phoenix Sect now commands six Heavenly Rank Secret Realms alone, dwarfing the other four.
Its might even eclipses the Beast Tamers lineage up in the Northern Deity Domain.
For Lin Su and the Six Little Ones, this month brought bountiful gains.
They delved into the Heavenly Rank Secret Realms seized from the four sects and paid a call to the Heavenly Casting Pavilion to access its own.
The boosts from these five Heavenly Rank Secret Realms far outstripped Lin Su's hopes.
The Blood Sea Tower's Heavenly Rank Secret Realm, known as the Evil Blood Secret Realm, houses relics called the Evil Blood Palace.
As the Spirit Master noted, the legacy inside meshes perfectly with the Ghost's Infernal Hell, offering substantial aid to Yingying.
Once out of the Evil Blood Secret Realm, the Ghost advanced to the fourth realm.
The Hunyuan Taoist Sect's Heavenly Rank Secret Realm, the Three Mysterious Secret Realm, features relics dubbed Sanxuan Palace.
Prior to going in, Lin Su figured the legacy wouldn't aid the Six Little Ones, since the Hunyuan Taoist Sect's arcane arrays held no value for him.
Yet after unraveling the scrolls of inheritance found there, Lin Su saw that the Hunyuan Taoist Sect folks had utterly misconstrued the Sanxuan Palace's true essence.
The real legacy of Sanxuan Palace, while not tied to time, oddly synced with Qiuqiu's Three Lives, letting Qiuqiu absorb plenty through comparison.
When they emerged, its grasp of rules hit the fifth realm.
The Miao Shu Cloud Sect's Heavenly Rank Secret Realm, the Immortal Puppet Secret Realm, contains relics called Immortal Puppet Valley.
