Whoosh!
The Snowy-white Feather Eagle flapped its feathery wings, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived at the edge of the lake that the Elder of Arrays had told Ye Xuan about.
As they flew over from afar, both saw the older man on top of the peak of the mountain next to them.
But apparently, Lin Shiru did not pay any attention to the older man at all.
Seeing this, Ye Xuan also cast no more than a fleeting glance and then withdrew his gaze.
"Is this the place?"
Lin Shiru took control over the Snowy Bladefeather Eagle and pulled it to a halt before turning her head to ask Ye Xuan.
"That's right. This is the place!"
Ye Xuan nodded.
He looked at the huge lake in front of him with eyes filled with anticipation.
After he succeeded in contracting the Tidal Treasure Snail, his trip to the Cangzhou Prefecture would be brought to a successful conclusion.
"I can't make a move here, so it's really up to you next."
Lin Shiru frowned when she recalled the dozen or so Dark Iron Bronze-level Beast Tamers of the Eternal Night Clan that she had seen from high above when they were approaching this place earlier.
She had not expected that it would actually be so coincidentally this tie.
These people from the Eternal Night Clan were actually here as well.
From its looks, their target was most possibly the same as that of Ye Xuan's.
They were all after that Tidal Treasure Snail.
After learning that Ye Xuan had recently broken through to become a Dark Iron Beast Tamer.
And that he had awakened a Space-type Beast Taming Talent, and even contracted a Dark Iron (Peak) Beast...
She was filled with confidence when it came to Ye Xuan.
But this confidence did not extend to the occasions that required Ye Xuan to confront a Bronze level Beast Tamer.
Not to mention that amongst those Beast Tamers of the Eternal Night Clan, there was not only one at the Bronze level.
"Remember, don't push yourself too hard if you are not up to it."
Thinking about this, Lin Shiru besought Ye Xuan again.
"Ms. Lin, don't worry."
Ye Xuan nodded and replied.
When they were high up in the air earlier on, he also saw the Eternal Night Clan's Beast Tamer across this lake.
He knew that this time would indeed entail a great amount of difficulty if he wanted to contract the Tidal Treasure Snail.
But whether it would work out well or not, he still had to try it to know.
The thought of this led to him summoning his Tyrannosaurus out of its Beast Lair.
Then borrowing the strength of the arm that he placed on the Tyrannosaurus, he leapt onto its back.
He was about to ride his Tyrannosaurus in search of a more suitable place.
He had to find a way to lure the Tidal Treasure Snail out of the lake.
Compared to the Eternal Night Clan, who had their beasts head underwater to look for it blindly.
He had previously learned all the Tidal Treasure Snail's unique characteristics from the Elder of Arrays, so naturally, he entirely lacked in confidence at all.
"Wait a minute!"
But just as Ye Xuan was also going to bid Lin Shiru farewell and manipulate and guide his Tyrannosaurus into leaving,
A voice suddenly called out to him from afar.
Ye Xuan turned around to look and instantly saw that the Elder who was previously sitting on the peak of the mountain next to him was standing on the back of a huge black panther.
With two other youths of the Eternal Night Clan, he quickly rushed over from afar.
"What is it? What's the matter with you?"
Seeing this older man, Lin Shiru's brows lifted, and the things she said thereafter were somewhat sharp, without showing even a tad of courtesy.
"You are... Lin Shiru from Jiangzhou University?"
Seeing Lin Shiru, the older man frowned when he came to recognize her.
"That's right."
Lin Shiru nodded and acknowledged her identity.
"So it's really Ms. Lin, the Vice Dean."
Seeing how to open Lin Shiru was in admitting who she was, the frown on the face of this older man of the Eternal Night Clan instantly deepened.
After a brief pause, he opened his mouth and said, "Vice Dean Lin, I am a guest professor of Jiangzhou University, Ye Gaojie. This time, I have brought the younger ones of my clan here to train and toughen them up."
"If it's not too much of a trouble, I hope that Miss Shiru can give me face and not interfere with the training of my clan's young ones."
"Sorry."
The only thing was that when Lin Shiru heard Ye Gaojie's words, her tone immediately went cold, and she said, "Your face doesn't work with me."
"Besides, in this Spirit Secret Realm, there is no such thing as differentiation of areas."
"And my purpose in coming here this time, it's also just to bring my students here to train."
"If you think that it is useful to uphold one's face and dignity, then I wonder if I have any face to speak of?"
Lin Shiru looked at Ye Gaojie and said, "If having a face is useful, then may I ask if you, kind sir, can show me some face? Please take your students with you and leave this place so that I can vacate this area for my students."
"You!"
When Ye Gaojie heard what she said, his expression instantly went cold.
Even Ye Xuan, standing on the side, could feel the aggressiveness and oppressiveness in Lin Shiru's words.
The way she looked now was completely different from the gentle and tender person she had been before.
This left him somewhat baffled.
He did not know the reason why there was such a deep grudge between Lin Shiru and those people of the Eternal Night Clan.
But the matter of asking her to leave the moment he arrived, even Ye Xuan himself would feel offended and displeased if he were treated like that. Of course, her displeasure was understandable.
Therefore, when it came to Lin Shiru's hostility towards this older man, he would raise both hands in agreement.
"Very well!"
Ye Gaojie saw that he couldn't succeed in persuading Lin Shiru, so his tone went dead cold right away, and he said, "If that's the case, then let's wait and see who the more capable ones are, your students or my disciples."
As he spoke, he manipulated the black panther he was sitting on into a complete landing by the edge of the lake.
And it came to a halt right beside Lin Shiru.
Obviously, he had intended to follow Lin Shiru around like that.
Lest Lin Shiru disregarded the rules and attacked his clan's young people in the Spirit Secret Realm.
As for Ye Xuan.
He was, in fact, not very bothered about him.
After seeing Lin Shiru, then seeing Yu Xuan.
He could actually guess as much.
He knew that Ye Xuan was most likely that student from Lin Shiru's Jiangzhou University who gained popularity as a rumour that the low-level Beast Tamers in the Spirit Secret Realm talked about the period.
But no matter how powerful Ye Xuan was, he was still only a Beast Tamer who just entered the rank of Dark Iron.
And this time, Ye Gaojie brought as many as a dozen disciples with him.
And most of them were Dark Iron (Peak) Beast Tamers.
On top of it, the remaining Beast Tamers were all Bronze level Beast Tamers.
Just the number of Bronze level Beast Tamers alone was as many as four.
He refused to believe that...
Ye Xuan, a mere Beast Tamer who barely entered the Dark Iron level, could have any effect or influence over his disciples of the Eternal Night Clan, all of whom obviously wielded much stronger powers.
"Ms. Lin?"
Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan frowned.
He stood on the back of the Tyrannosaurus, and he looked over at Lin Shiru.
And when Lin Shiru looked over at him, she nodded at him so slightly that it was almost inconspicuous.
She was obviously telling him that he could show off his prowess to his heart's content in this secret realm.
There was no burden to speak of. She was in total control and could easily hold the ground.
Got it!
Ye Xuan saw Lin Shiru nodding and right away knew there was no need for further senseless talk.
Immediately, he stepped up onto the back of his Tyrannosaurus and directly got the Tyrannosaurus to send him far away to the mountain peak right next to the edge of the lake at lightning speed.
"Ye Xuan."
But just as Ye Xuan got on his ride, the Tyrannosaurus, and flew high up into the sky, the two youths of the Eternal Night Clan who followed Ye Gaojie over here together, exchanged a glance with each other, and then...
One of them immediately released his beast, the Netherworld Demon Sparrow.
And then, along with the other guy, both of them got onto the back of the Netherworld Demon Sparrow.
Very quickly, they chased after Ye Xuan.
"Ye Xuan, you just entered the Spirit Secret Realm; you are most probably still unfamiliar with this place. We two brothers have been here for the past two days, so you should just let the two of us bring you along the vicinity so you can familiarize yourself with the neighbourhood."
The speed of the Netherworld Demon Sparrow was breakneck.
In just a fleeting moment, it caught up with Ye Xuan's Tyrannosaurus.
Standing on the back of his Tyrannosaurus, Ye Xuan turned his head to cast a look at these two youths of the Eternal Night Clan. In a cold voice, he said, "I don't need your help."
"Haha, that is because you are not familiar with this place. You don't know about the complexity of this landscape. When you are familiar with it, you definitely won't say that."
The two of them were smiling and completely ignored Ye Xuan's words.
Just like that, they stood on the back of the Netherworld Demon Sparrow and followed Ye Xuan around.
Although Ye Gaojie felt that Ye Xuan did not have much influence over the disciples of Eternal Night Clan.
Such insignificant characters like themselves, given the situation that they did not have any powerful talents if they wanted to get ahead of and make a name of themselves, had to think of every way possible to win the favour of people.
They had to do some things that would please and satisfy the ones up there.
To them, Ye Xuan's arrival was simply a golden opportunity that found its way to their door.
"Hur-her."
Behind them, Ye Gaojie saw this scene, and a smile instantly appeared on his face.
He was thinking about the two kids. Of course, he knew how good they were indeed at figuring out his thoughts.
It was not impossible to push them for a higher level of cultivation in the future.
And he did not find it possible for Ye Xuan to exert any influence over the disciples of his clan at all.
But when he thought of that icy look that Lin Shiru gave him when she talked to him just now.
He could not help but want to do something they would find repulsive.
On the side, Lin Shiru saw this scene, and the look on her face turned cold instantly.
"I said, no need!"
And at this point, Ye Xuan, who was closely followed by the two Beast Tamers of the Eternal Night Clan, sounded increasingly cold in his tone of voice.
Since young, he truly had never met anyone so loathsome and repulsive.
Even if it were An Zhenghao, a classmate from his days in Yunhai City, though Ye Xuan had not directly crossed paths with him.
Even An Zhenghao's actions were not so extreme to the extent of being a rogue.
Even he did not do something so repulsive.
"Don't worry. It's all right. You don't have to worry that it will be troublesome for you to have us following you or something."
"When you see for yourself the complexity of the terrain of this region, you will know how right it is to let us follow you around."
The thing was, after hearing those words, the two Beast Tamers of the Eternal Night Clan continued smiling away. They were really downright rogues.
From where she was on Ye Xuan's shoulder, Lil Wan saw these two men's faces and was so mad that her little lungs almost exploded with anger.
"Ye Xuan."
Thinking about it, she opened her mouth to ask, "Doesn't the Tyrannosaurus have the ability to repel water? Let's go underwater and shake off these two repulsive fellows!"
Mm?
Ye Xuan was momentarily stunned when he heard this.
And being telepathically connected with Lil Wan, he caught the gist of what Lil Wan had in mind. And a trace of a smile appeared on his face.
"Fine, then we will do as you suggested. We go into the water."
As he spoke, he used his foot to tap on the Tyrannosaurus's back to get it to dive downwards.
"Going into the water?"
The two beast tamers of the Eternal Night Clan heard this and frowned.
The two of them did not have beasts capable of repelling water.
But as they thought about it, they still subconsciously urged the Netherworld Demon Sparrow they were sitting on to follow the Tyrannosaurus for the time being.
Swash!
But when the Tyrannosaurus was flying at a low altitude, with still a meter or two of distance away from the lake below.
Its humongous dragon head suddenly made a turn.
The next moment, with a loud bang, it used its pair of dragon eyes to converge five colours and then, locked eyes with the Netherworld Demon Sparrow that was beneath the two men of the Eternal Night Clan.
"Not good!"
Seeing this scene, the expressions of both youths of the Eternal Night Clan changed.
"Roar!"
But before they could respond with any reaction, they saw that after this one look from the Tyrannosaurus, what followed suit was actually the opening of its huge dragon mouth.
Immediately after that, a loud dragon roar came bellowing from the mouth of the Tyrannosaurus.
