Chapter 372 — The Arrival of Shi Ying's Totem Companions
The Beast-Taming Craftsman · Page 5 of 9
"This, this, this..." Meanwhile, the shrine master of the Crimson Fire Shrine who had rushed over was also gradually coming to understand what had happened.
His expression shifted again and again. One mythic-tier resource, two legendary-tier resources—just handed over to Donghuang like this?
How could that be allowed!
"Legend Ke, is it possible that Lu Bai—or one of his beasts—has phoenix blood in them?" At this point, Fengjue Jixiang asked Qixia Zong.
Otherwise, there was no reason he could enter the secret realm so directly.
And the most absurd part was that it was as if Lu Bai were the master of this secret realm. How could that be?
The shrine maidens of Fengjue were also gazing at the mountaintop with complicated expressions.
"That, this old one does not know either," Legend Ke said with a shake of his head. At the same time, his eyes burned as he looked at the mountaintop. "However, according to the wagering agreement, what is certain is that it was Lu Bai who unraveled the secret realm, and Lu Bai who obtained the resources. Everyone, please do not attempt to snatch the resources as you did just now. That would already count as a breach of the wager."
The wagering agreement!
Hearing Legend Ke bring this up, President Terashima, Legend Shinohara, and the others all changed expression—yet for a moment, they could not think of how to refute it.
Because at their level, they were still not qualified to openly tear up the agreement between the Seven Isles Association and the Donghuang Association. They simply could not bear the consequences.
The only outcome of doing so would be war with Donghuang.
An affair of that magnitude would require at least a titled legend—or an order from a guardian deity.
Still, watching top-tier resources before their very eyes being taken from their own territory by others, the legends of the Seven Isles were also in agony.
At this moment they were racking their brains, searching for some way to turn the situation around and twist black into white.
"According to my research, only the direct bloodline of the Phoenix Secret Realm's master could possibly be immune to those flames. Even a bloodline extremely close to it would be rejected," Fengjue Legend said at this point, still unwilling to give up.
She continued, "I no longer care about any resources right now. I only want to know why 'Lu Bai' can be unharmed by the secret realm."
Out of respect for the master of the Phoenix Secret Realm, Fengjue Legend now wanted only to know the truth.
As for the wagering agreement, and the ownership of the Phoenix Secret Realm—over these, the Phoenix Shrine could not decide either. But if Lu Bai or his beasts truly were direct descendants of the Phoenix Secret Realm's master, then the Phoenix Shrine, which had received the secret realm's grace, should at the very least—under any circumstances—never stand opposed to Lu Bai and his companions.
Because of her childhood experiences, Fengjue Jixiang's reverence for the ownership of the Phoenix Secret Realm ran even deeper than that of the Seven Isles itself. It could be said that the master of the Phoenix Secret Realm was the foremost object of faith of the Phoenix Shrine.
"That—you'll have to ask him yourself later. I don't know either," Qixia Zong said with a shake of his head, unable to explain.
Before long, the legendary beast tamer of the Shiranui clan also arrived, and the situation on the scene grew more and more complicated.
The high-level forces gathering on the Seven Isles side grew ever greater in number.
And just as all sides were harboring their own schemes, the greatest upheaval of all appeared!!!
BOOM!!!!
Above the Phoenix Mountain secret realm, a gigantic dimensional vortex emerged. The sky turned redder still, and a crimson fluctuation gradually coalesced into a demonic, flame-formed face.
A totem-tier aura radiated from it beyond all doubt.
