Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 549 - 493: The Guardian Beasts Are Still on the Way
Chu Chen stood on the back of the Winged Demon Tiger, swiftly ascending out of the Soul Suppressing Abyss.
As his speed increased, the suppression exerted by the Soul Suppressing Abyss lessened.
A thick wave of Soul Power emanated from within Chu Chen.
Wang Chengyu sensed the wave of Soul Power from Chu Chen, and his expression instantly changed.
Chu Chen’s current Realm was still at the Fourth Rank of the Emperor Level, yet from his Soul Power’s intensity, it was in no way weaker than Wang Chengyu’s own Emperor-level Peak.
This was the foundation of a top-tier prodigy. Reflecting on this, Wang Chengyu secretly felt glad about his decision.
Meanwhile, Lei Yao and the other beasts, several tens of miles away, were fully attuned to Chu Chen’s presence.
Through the Slaughter Atlas, they could roughly sense Chu Chen’s position, but accurately locating him was beyond their capability, so they had to split up and search.
Just then, Lei Yao abruptly halted, closing its eyes and extending its senses to the maximum.
A moment later, it opened its eyes wide and exclaimed with excitement, "Found it."
Nirvana and the other beasts appeared overjoyed at the news, immediately gathering by Lei Yao’s side, awaiting guidance.
Lei Yao pointed in the direction of the Soul Suppressing Abyss, saying, "Over there, let’s head there immediately."
Unyielding tore through space, leading the beasts swiftly towards the Soul Suppressing Abyss.
Upon reappearing, Nirvana exclaimed, "I can sense the master’s presence too."
The beasts, hearing this, were naturally overjoyed, quickening their pace even further.
At this time, within Yundong Mountain, Li Mochen ended his call with Leng Junfeng, cursing, "Damn waste, can’t even handle such a small matter, making me step in myself."
Zhang Heng inquired with a frown, "Did something go wrong?"
Li Mochen didn’t hide anything and recounted the incident.
Upon hearing, Wu Jiang dismissively remarked, "It’s no big deal, we’re on the only path they can take; they can’t escape, and I’ll take care of them shortly."
"Let’s all go, our goal is to bring Chu Chen back anyway, and I don’t ever want to come back to this godforsaken place," Li Mochen said coldly.
"Quite right, let’s go together then."
Moments later, under Wang Chengyu’s lead, Chu Chen and his group finally burst out of the Soul Suppressing Abyss.
Chu Chen spread his arms open, breathing the free air, a subtle smile appearing at his lips, his inner joy evident.
He threw his head back, letting out a joyful roar, the sound echoing above the Soul Suppressing Abyss.
At this moment, the people of the Bai Shi Gang were even more exuberant, some crying tears of joy, others laughing insanely, ...
Chu Chen watched the crowd venting their emotions; he did not stop them but rather let them vent, understanding their feelings well since he was one of them.
After a while of venting, everyone summoned their Guardian Beasts, leading to another wave of catharsis.
Some hadn’t seen their Guardian Beast for decades, and naturally, they had much longing to express.
Seeing these weak Guardian Beasts, Chu Chen couldn’t help but feel relieved that he had the foresight to release Lei Yao and his other beasts earlier; otherwise, they too would have suffered greatly.
Watching the still-venting crowd, Wang Chengyu couldn’t help but softly remind, "Sir, it’s getting late; we should leave sooner rather than later to avoid any unforeseen changes."
Chu Chen nodded, saying, "Alright, I’ll have them depart right away." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
He looked at the crowd and said sternly, "Alright, everyone quiet down and listen to me."
Hearing this, everyone ceased their expressions and turned their gaze towards Chu Chen.
Seeing this, Chu Chen said solemnly, "I understand your feelings, but it’s not safe here. We should leave this place first and vent elsewhere later."
Old Bai wiped the tears from the corner of his eye, saying hoarsely, "Sir is right; brothers, let’s leave here. The farther, the better."
The crowd echoed his sentiment.
Once the decision was unanimous, they immediately set off.
Shortly after they left, Leng Junfeng, accompanied by guards and members of the Soul Locking Gang, pursued out of the Soul Suppressing Abyss.
He wasn’t chasing to capture Chu Chen’s group but to demonstrate loyalty.
To gain Li Mochen’s favor, it required not just capability but also a loyal heart.
Having failed to capture Chu Chen proved his inadequacy to Li Mochen. To continue being favored, loyalty was all he could offer.
After exiting the Soul Suppressing Abyss, Leng Junfeng did not pursue further, choosing to remain, as he did not wish to clash with Wang Chengyu again.
Moments later, Chu Chen’s party had arrived near Yundong Mountain.
Just then, Chu Chen’s Soul Sea surged, and the soul-bond imprint began to glow faintly.
The closer they got to Yundong, the brighter the glow of the imprint, indicating that Lei Yao and the other beasts were nearby.
Realizing this, Chu Chen’s heart surged with excitement, having been separated from his eight beasts for two years, his longing could no longer be suppressed.
He hastily urged, "Brother Wang, let’s pick up the pace."
Wang Chengyu, hearing this, didn’t hesitate and immediately commanded the Guardian Beast to rush towards Yundong Mountain.
Just then, three imposing auras appeared ahead, blocking their path.
Wang Chengyu’s expression changed instantly, quickly halting the Winged Demon Tiger.
Chu Chen focused on the three figures, furrowing his brow, but he soon relaxed, observing them with a calm demeanor.
"Vice Alliance Hierarch, are you here to congratulate me on my release?" Chu Chen said casually.
Li Mochen frowned slightly at the words, feeling a sudden tension within.
Could Chu Chen be so composed because he had some hidden means?
Zhang Heng and Wu Jiang’s expressions also turned grave.
"What should we do? Could this kid really have some backup?" Wu Jiang asked worriedly.
The trio’s anxiety was justified; Chu Chen’s past achievements were frightening.
Li Mochen shook his head, saying, "He shouldn’t. Liu Hongzhi and others have been sent to the front lines, and Zhao Wudi is imprisoned. Even if his Guardian Beast is strong, after two years of imprisonment, they’d surely be weak. This kid is probably bluffing."
Hearing this, Wu Jiang and the others felt somewhat relieved, though they remained highly alert.
Li Mochen fixed his gaze on Chu Chen, shouting coldly, "Boy, you think you can bluff me?"
Chu Chen’s heart skipped a beat at the words, yet his expression remained unchanged.
"Oh? Do you think so? You can try, but consider carefully. If you fail, you might remain here forever."
Li Mochen pondered in silence, afraid to gamble, knowing a loss would mean no recovery. But letting them leave would surely lead to Sun Wenshan’s reprimand, potentially losing his position as Vice Alliance Hierarch.
He’s sacrificed so much to reach this point, just bringing Chu Chen back would secure control over the Alliance, as Sun Wenshan only desired quiet cultivation.
Deliberating for a long while, Li Mochen finally decided to take the gamble.
"Humph! Boy, you think mere words can fool me? Today, I shall capture you!" With that, he prepared to strike.
Watching this, Wang Chengyu and the others felt their hearts in their throats.
"Sir, quickly summon your Guardian Beasts; I have a potion to restore their strength fast."
Chu Chen shook his head, saying, "No rush, my Guardian Beasts are on their way."
"What, still on their way?" The crowd couldn’t help but gasp.
Their shock was so great they didn’t control their volume, and naturally, Li Mochen and his group heard everything clearly.
"Haha, boy, you’ve let slip; surrender if you don’t want to die."
It was only then that they realized their blunder.
Chu Chen gestured to calm them, saying, "Don’t panic. If they had acted immediately, we’d be doomed, but now it’s too late."
Hearing this, the crowd felt somewhat more at ease.
"Humph! Using the same trick again is foolish."
