Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1454 - 410: The Warm and Welcoming Qianling Sect

Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
Lin Su concludes his time at the Nether Soul Palace after a final public guidance session for the disciples. He is met by Liu Changxuan, the Sect Master of the Qianling Sect, who personally arrives to escort him to his next destination with surprising warmth. As they depart aboard a massive Dimensional Silver Dragon, a powerful beast lurking in the void senses a familiar bloodline within Lin Su. This mysterious stalker, shocked by Lin Su's high-level protection, begins plotting a way to uncover the truth behind the connection to its brother.

A vast spiritual power exploded in every direction as its eyes shifted with intensity.

Before long, the massive creature spotted a nearby disciple belonging to the Nether Soul Palace who was preparing to return to his Sect.

That was the target.

In a mere instant, the beast’s form flickered and vanished, and the Nether Soul Palace disciple was simultaneously swept away from his location.

Not long after, the disciple stepped out from a nearby valley, looking utterly dazed.

"How did I end up in this place?" He scratched his head in confusion, "Forget it, I need to hurry back to the Sect."

With those words, the disciple shifted into a streak of rainbow light and soared toward the Nether Soul Palace.

Deep within a pitch-black subterranean cavern, the returned giant beast’s eyes burned with a freezing light as it hissed, "Damn."

It was only after using spiritual techniques to search the memories of that Nether Soul Palace disciple that it finally understood the background of the person it sought.

Do they truly hail from a major power called the Immortal Phoenix Sect in the Eastern Extreme Domain?

A cold glint danced in its eyes.

Based on the details gathered from the disciple, this human known as Lin Su intended to visit the Three Beast Taming Sects one by one before making his way back to the Eastern Extreme Domain.

This implied he would not only appear at the Qianling Sect, but would travel toward Self Transformation Valley immediately after his departure.

Because the distance between the Qianling Sect and Self Transformation Valley was so short, any attempt to intercept him on that path would likely result in being slaughtered by the Immortals protecting those two Sects.

Consequently, finding an opening to attack during this window would be nearly impossible.

The sole opportunity would likely present itself during his journey back to the Eastern Extreme Domain after he finished his business at Self Transformation Valley.

Vigilance is typically at its lowest when one is heading home.

A calculating light shimmered in the depths of the beast’s pupils.

From the memories of that Nether Soul Palace disciple, it had uncovered another piece of information.

That brat Lin Su apparently possessed a remarkable secret technique known as the Guardian Beast Co-operation Method.

By utilizing this secret technique, a Beast Tamer and their spirit beast could fuse into a single entity, manifesting devastating power.

This made his value to the three Sects far greater than previously suspected; even on the return trip, if an attack was detected, the Immortals of the three Sects would likely arrive in an instant.

Therefore, it needed to secure allies before making a move.

It had to locate an old monster of comparable strength to assist in the ambush.

Its gaze turned toward the North Divine Domain.

That old fellow once owed its brother a debt of gratitude and had sworn a binding oath; now that a lead on its brother had finally surfaced, it was time for that person to fulfill the vow.

However, that alone would not suffice.

There also needed to be a force capable of pinning down the Immortals of the Three Beast Taming Sects to prevent them from providing reinforcements.

As for such a candidate...

A chilling light flashed through the giant beast’s eyes.

Aside from the four great Martial Arts upper Sects of the North Divine Domain, it could think of no other power capable of such a feat.

In the past, the members of those four Martial Arts Sects had hunted its brother across heaven and earth, forcing him to flee the North Divine Domain; it had never imagined it would one day consider cooperating with them.

If the details regarding the Guardian Beast Co-operation Method were revealed to them, securing their help shouldn't be too difficult.

No, the plan still required careful deliberation.

Light flickered within the beast's eyes.

If the disciple's memories were accurate, that kid Lin Su wouldn't be leaving the North Divine Domain for a while yet.

There was still time.

Thinking back on its life and how it had always relied on its brother, the giant beast’s gaze hardened with resolve.

For the sake of its brother, it would do whatever was necessary.

...

"Who is lurking there? Scram!"

While standing atop the back of an Immortal-grade Dimensional Silver Dragon, Liu Changxuan and Lin Su had been deep in conversation.

Suddenly, Liu Changxuan’s face darkened with coldness as he barked at a specific direction, leaving Lin Su startled. "Senior Liu, what happened?"

"Do not be alarmed, little friend Lin Su," Liu Changxuan said with a light chuckle. "I simply detected someone prying in the shadows. I gave them a verbal warning, and they have since retreated."

"A spy..." Lin Su blinked. "Who could it have been?"

"That, I cannot say for certain." Liu Changxuan shook his head. "The intruder was quite adept at hiding. I can only confirm they possessed Immortal-level strength."

"Naturally, it could also have been a Martial Domain Realm expert," Liu Changxuan added, a cold glimmer briefly passing through his eyes.

If that were the case, it meant the four Martial Arts Sects were starting to grow restless.

"Could the Martial Arts Sects of the North Divine Domain have found out about the Guardian Beast Co-operation Method?" Lin Su asked instinctively.

"I am not entirely sure about that," Liu Changxuan replied softly. "When your Sect from the Eastern Extreme Domain first sent representatives across the Endless Sea to negotiate with us, we realized the gravity of the Guardian Beast Co-operation Method and immediately suppressed the news to keep the Martial Arts Sects in the dark."

"However, as time passes, one should never underestimate a peak power. It is only natural they might catch wind of it." After his analysis, Liu Changxuan smiled. "But you needn't worry too much, Lin Su. Whatever they are plotting is aimed at our three Sects."

"We will ensure your safety with everything we have."

"I am grateful to the Seniors of the Three Sects," Lin Su said with a nod.

"Look, we have reached the Qianling Sect." As they spoke, Liu Changxuan pointed toward the horizon, his expression filled with pride. "Little friend Lin Su, what is your impression of our Qianling Sect?"

Lin Su gazed upward, his face filling with genuine wonder.

From a distance, the Qianling Sect appeared as a transparent spatial membrane.

Resembling a massive balloon filled with countless smaller ones, Lin Su could see distinct layers of space overlapping, shimmering with reflected light and shadows.
