Beast Taming Patrol

"Yan Su need not worry too much." Lu Ziye patted Yan Susen on the shoulder, followed by a thump on his own chest, "Isn't it just about seizing another Light of Destiny? With me here, it's no big deal!"

Clearly, he had great confidence in the secret weapon he had prepared specifically.

"Alright, let's set off." Lin Su shook his head with a smile and glanced at the spirit beside him.

The darkness descended rapidly, and soon the trio vanished from the spot.

When they reappeared, they had already arrived at the edge of an ancient and mysterious pond.

As soon as he appeared, Lin Su turned his gaze toward the pond.

The pond was not deep, about five meters or so, allowing him to easily peer through the water surface and clearly see the strange patterns naturally etched into the bottom of the pond.

The patterns were complex and mysterious, making Lin Su feel dizzy at just a glance.

Under the sunlight's effect, the pond water exhibited a faint golden hue, and with the breeze passing by, ripples shattered the golden light, scattering broken gold fragments across the water surface.

Compared to other cores of the Secret Realm, the pond of Luck Blessing before them was indeed beautiful, yet it seemed quite ordinary without too much energy fluctuation detectable within it.

However, the crowd tightly gathered around constantly reminded Lin Su of the extraordinariness of this pond.

By now, the area near the pond had become densely populated, with countless people standing in every direction, intently focused on the center of the pond, occasionally casting wary glances at others nearby with the corners of their eyes.

Before this, Lin Su had never seen such a gathering of prodigies, all competing for a single chance.

Moreover, it was for the limited ten portions of the Light of Destiny.

It's just a narrow bridge for thousands of troops, nothing more.

The trio's appearance was rather abrupt, naturally drawing some displeased gazes.

But upon recognizing Lin Su and his companions, that dissatisfaction quickly subsided.

People courteously moved aside a bit, clearing a space for the three of them.

A man's reputation shadows him like a tree.

Lin Su's fame had spread far and wide; naturally, no one sought trouble at this critical juncture.

"Are there too many people?" Lin Su glanced around and couldn't help but mutter softly.

"Brother Lin, you've been in seclusion these days, so you're unaware." Lu Ziye chuckled, "In this past half-month, more and more powers have arrived at Holy Light City, and many of them are mighty."

"Now the entire Holy Light City has changed; even the Jin Yang Alliance can't dominate alone anymore."

"Oh? How so?" Lin Su raised his eyebrows, his curiosity piqued.

Indeed, he had been engrossed in his own meditation and improvement for the past half month, training his two pets after they obtained their respective grade eight resources, leaving him no time to attend to other matters.

According to Lu Ziye, quite a few exciting events had occurred during this half-month?

The Jin Yang Alliance itself had over three hundred prodigies; was such a force no longer able to dominate alone?

"Look, the force next to Jin Yang Alliance," Lu Ziye subtly pointed towards a certain spot on the other side of the pond.

There, the hundreds from the Jin Yang Alliance, dressed in uniform attire, occupied a large area, with Lin Su's familiar, Jin Yulong, at the forefront.

The power that Lu Ziye indicated, next to Jin Yang Alliance, also donned uniform attire.

Looking at their numbers, they seemed not much lesser than Jin Yang Alliance, and the leader, a man in red, exuded an aura as sharp as a soaring sword, even overshadowing Jin Yulong.

"That is the Red Dragon Society, the ruling power of Wubo City," Lu Ziye whispered, "These guys are willing to go to great lengths; for the chance in Holy Light City, they've abandoned their stronghold and all rushed here."

"The leader is Zhu Changyu, head of the Red Dragon Society," Lu Ziye glanced at the figure in red, his expression slightly grim, "Jin Yulong has not yet broken through to the eighth level of the Nayuan Realm, just short of a bit, but this guy has already made the breakthrough."

Lin Su nodded slightly, his expression turning serious as well.

Wubo City, which was another Golden City not far from here, saw the adversaries forsaking a stronghold in a Golden City and coming here in full numbers to compete for the chance and the Light of Destiny, demonstrating their boldness.

Such individuals were not easy to provoke.

"The Red Dragon Society is not the troublesome part," Lu Ziye sighed, subtly pointing towards another side, "look over there."

Following the direction of Lu Ziye's finger, Lin Su's gaze swept over to a particular spot, and his expression quickly changed.

On another side of the pond, a certain area was also occupied by a force, all of whom wore robes of black and white, each carrying an extraordinary aura.

At the forefront of the team stood a man and a woman.

The elemental energy fluctuations emanating from them were frightening, raging incessantly like a vast ocean, either of them overshadowing Zhu Changyu, the eighth-level Nayuan Realm powerhouse.

Although not yet at the ninth level of the Nayuan Realm, they were beyond ordinary eighth-level practitioners.

Clearly, they were the leaders of this force.

What concerned Lin Su more, however, was not these two—

but the indifferent figure standing beside them.

Hunyuan Taoist Sect Disciple, Zhou Huaiyu!

"Are they associated with Hunyuan Taoist Sect?" Watching the man and woman chatting amiably with Zhou Huaiyu, Lin Su's expression quickly grew serious.

If they were related to the sect, that would be troublesome.

"This is the direct empire of Hunyuan Taoist Sect, Tianyuan Empire and Longquan Empire," Lu Ziye's expression carried a hint of gravity, "The two direct empires have come together, adding up to a number no less than the Jin Yang Alliance, and they only have martial experts, each one at least at the sixth level of the Nayuan Realm or above."
