Chapter 840 Go On, Hei Yao!
This squirrel clearly knew a lot of inside information. It waited a bit before speaking in a low voice.
"These past few decades have not felt right to me. Everything feels messy everywhere. I hear that the human side is not stable either."
"It's very chaotic."
"Back then, that whole incident started from the human side before it spread and affected the Spirit Beasts."
"It feels like ever since the Phoenix was contract-taken by humans, and then some things happened, the entire Lingtian Continent has been under hidden turmoil. But it is also foggy, hard to see clearly."
"No one knows who or what forces are stirring things up behind the scenes."
"And also..."
The little squirrel’s voice suddenly dropped much lower.
"The Alliance Leader hasn’t shown up for a very, very long time."
"Without it here, the Beast Alliance can’t stay peaceful."
The young man also suddenly fell silent. After a long while, when he spoke, his voice was a bit hoarse.
"With such chaos, you still want to follow that young girl around for fun?"
The little squirrel’s eyes were very bright.
"What, can’t I?"
"Do I need to explain everything I do to you?"
The young man immediately smiled bitterly. Knowing his earlier words had offended the little squirrel, his tone softened considerably.
"Fine, fine. You can do whatever you want."
The little squirrel snorted softly to itself. It jumped down.
"Watching this isn’t fun anymore. It’s boring."
"Let’s go fishing and pick some fruit."
"Every year, it’s the same Spirit Beasts fighting."
"The ones you don’t like, you ignore. The ones you do like won’t agree to join your Yuling Sect."
"Let’s go."
The little squirrel was clearly in a bad mood.
It raised its head and slowly looked up at the Celestial Vault.
It had a feeling—as though a great storm was coming.
Hopefully, it wasn’t just its imagination.
Ye Xuanyue stared at the Qilin, still feeling quite shocked inside.
She hadn’t expected the young man beside her to dare so openly release a Divine Beast. He certainly had a tough personality.
Once this Qilin appeared, that boar immediately started showing weakness.
His Qilin was probably a fairly ordinary Water Qilin. But even so, a Divine Beast wasn’t something an ordinary Sacred Beast could handle.
Ye Xuanyue had encountered a Qilin before.
But the Spirit Martial Continent was too poor in Spiritual Energy. Even Divine Beasts couldn’t avoid severe degradation, nowhere near one ten-thousandth of their peak power.
Using that past experience to judge this situation obviously wouldn’t work.
Ye Xuanyue narrowed her eyes, watching the Qilin sweep across the arena. Shouts of surprise rose from the stage.
For most people, catching a glimpse of a Qilin was worth far more than a few Spirit Stones—if you saw a Qilin out in the wild, you might not even keep your life.
Ye Xuanyue watched this Qilin closely. If her Hei Yao came out, most likely he would have to face this Water Qilin.
The young girl’s gaze held some tension.
But then she calmed down again.
This Qilin should just be a young one.
Like Qian Duoduo before her Awakening, it was powerful but not the kind of world-destroying force. Hei Yao might have a chance.
Even if he lost, being able to spar with a Divine Beast wasn’t truly a loss.
So Ye Xuanyue adopted a more ordinary mindset.
Her gaze fell on the Qilin before her, observing it carefully.
This Qilin indeed had a great advantage against ordinary Spirit Beasts.
After all, when a Divine Beast faced an ordinary Spirit Beast of the same level, it produced Aura Pressure—and that was a huge advantage in itself.
Ye Xuanyue waited patiently.
After another Spirit Beast came out, the next moment—
The familiar figure she knew finally appeared.
The Spirit Beast summoning was kept secret, so others didn’t know what Ye Xuanyue’s Spirit Beast would be.
Everyone’s eyes were fixed, trying to see clearly, but they froze the moment they did.
What was this…?
Hei Yao’s appearance didn’t look particularly special.
Fatty Lu stared for a moment but still couldn’t identify what kind of Spirit Beast it was.
“Your Spirit Beast… looks a bit unusual.”
Hei Yao was naturally very unusual.
Ye Xuanyue watched him quietly, her gaze holding a touch of quiet pride.
Meanwhile, Wu Shitong’s expression changed instantly. He hesitated before speaking.
“Is that… a Mutant Spirit Beast?”
The others’ gazes immediately shot toward Ye Xuanyue.
It was… it was actually a Mutant Spirit Beast?
Ye Xuanyue nodded.
Their expressions grew even more shocked.
Because they knew very well that the existence of Mutant Spirit Beasts was practically a taboo for the Beast Alliance.
For a Summoner, those who contracted a Divine Beast or a Mutant Spirit Beast would probably be put on the Beast Alliance’s blacklist for pursuit.
Wu Shitong took a deep breath.
This girl’s Spirit Beast was completely different from what he imagined.
To think it would be a Mutant Spirit Beast…
She had quite some nerve too.
The Mutant Spirit Beasts’ main base was reportedly the Dark Abyss Canyon.
Was this girl… from there?
Ye Xuanyue quietly watched Hei Yao.
Her connection with Hei Yao was very close. Through the faint Contract Bond, she could even sense Hei Yao’s current emotions.
His mood wasn’t bad; he even felt a bit of hidden anticipation.
That put Ye Xuanyue at ease.
Hei Yao stood there, calmly looking at his opponent. It was a Divine Beast—but he wasn’t afraid.
Mutant Spirit Beasts originally no longer felt the Aura Pressure from Divine Beasts.
Besides, Hei Yao spent all his time with Jiji and Little White, so he was already immune to such Aura Pressure.
Hei Yao raised his head, his eyes holding a bit of seriousness.
The next second, this Dark Wolf rose slightly into the air. As its dark wings fluttered lightly, streams of light trailed behind.
Sounds of amazement arose all around!
Up in the viewing stands, Leng Moran looked very calm.
He wasn’t worried about Ye Xuanyue’s Spirit Beast either. Hou Xiaoyong, however, had his mouth wide open. He was slightly stunned and asked in a low voice,
“That’s her Summoned Spirit Beast?”
“Her Summoned Spirit Beast is a Mutant Spirit Beast?”
He felt it was… it was unbelievable.
His expression was completely dumbfounded. Then he heard Leng Moran beside him say quietly,
“It’s indeed one of her Summoned Spirit Beasts.”
Still… one of them?
Hou Xiaoyong’s eyes widened. What was this… A Summoner, at the Martial King Realm, with more than one Spirit Beast… and an Alchemy Grandmaster?
And this girl was still very young.
Hou Xiaoyong felt like he was about to faint.
Leng Moran glanced at the nearly collapsing Hou Xiaoyong beside him but didn’t add any more salt to the wound.
He was just curious. If Hou Xiaoyong knew this girl also had a contract with a dragon, a Phoenix, and a Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox…
he wondered if he would actually faint from shock on the spot.
A slight smile touched Leng Moran’s lips.
This was his Xuanyue.
For her to be this outstanding, wasn’t it only natural?
