“Do you know Li Fuchen?”
After reaching Wind Cloud City, the Vacant Mountain Emperor started to find out information on Li Fuchen.
The Swordsmen Tournament was held once every 20 years. Everyone knew that Li Fuchen had just reached 1st rank of the Great Emperor Rankings over a year ago, therefore, the Vacant Mountain Emperor guessed that Li Fuchen should have participated in the Swordsmen Tournament. The Swordsmen Tournament was always held at the main city, Wind Cloud City.
“Are you talking about the 1st ranker of the Great Emperor Rankings, Li Fuchen? He is regularly seen at the Swordsmen Guild headquarters.” Someone pointed towards the direction of the Swordsmen Guild headquarters.
“Many thanks.”
The Vacant Mountain Emperor bowed with cupped fist and rushed for the Swordsmen Guild headquarters.
“I can finally stop doing missions.”
After finishing the last mission, Li Fuchen’s guild points were now finally more than 10 million.
There wasn’t a need for him to go through the grade 8 swordsman test and Li Fuchen was directly promoted to become a grade 8 swordsman.
What a joke, was there a need for the 1st rank of the Great Emperor Rankings and the Sword Emperor Rankings to go through a test?
“Li Fuchen, someone is looking for you.” A grade 6 swordsman came to inform Li Fuchen.
“Looking for me?”
Li Fuchen walked out.
“Elder Li.” Seeing Li Fuchen, the Vacant Mountain Emperor let out a delighted expression.
“Vacant Mountain Emperor, why are you here? Where is Yan Qingwu?” Li Fuchen quickly asked.
The Vacant Mountain Emperor had a bitter tone as he said, “Elder Li, Yan Qingwu and the Thunder Beast are in trouble. It is why I traveled so far to look for you.”
Over a year ago, the Vacant Mountain Emperor, Yan Qingwu, and the Thunder Beast guessed that Li Fuchen should be at the Wind Cloud City, therefore, they rushed towards the Wind Cloud City. Along the way, the Thunder Beast’s qi presence was accidentally exposed and it attracted the experts from the Voracious Beast Guild. It was fortunate that Yan Qingwu was 30th rank on the Great Emperor Rankings and was extremely formidable. She had an easy time defeating those experts. But soon after, the Voracious Beast Guild sent a low-level saint. They didn’t just capture the Thunder Beast, but they also took Yan Qingwu too. It was fortunate the Vacant Mountain Emperor had a void cardinal artifact, which he used to successfully escape.
“Voracious Beast Guild.” Li Fuchen had a heavy expression.
The Voracious Beast Guild was the top five saint factions on the Saint Spirit Continent. Their guild specialize in taming beasts. The Thunder Beast was a tyrant beast and once it was exposed, it would naturally attract the attention of the Voracious Beast Guild.
It was fortunate that the Voracious Beast Guild only had three saints, one mid-level saint and two low-level saints.
It was rumored that the mid-level saint wouldn’t be in the Voracious Beast Guild normally. The ones overseeing the guild would be the two low-level saints, otherwise, not even ten Li Fuchens could do anything.
“Let’s go to the Voracious Beast Guild.”
There was still half a month before the elder selection and it should be enough for Li Fuchen to rescue Yan Qingwu.
“With just the two of us?” The Vacant Mountain Emperor hesitated.
In his opinion, Li Fuchen must have a certain level of status in the Swordsmen Guild and it shouldn’t be a problem for him to request the help of a sword dao saint.
Li Fuchen nodded, “Let’s not request help for this matter first.”
Li Fuchen didn’t know if the Voracious Beast Guild would sell any favors to the Swordsmen Guild. If they wouldn’t, then it would be the same as to alert the enemy.
The Voracious Beast Guild was situated near a high-class city, the Blue Night City. As a high-class city, the Blue Night City had a teleportation array that was directly connected to the nine main cities and it allowed for two-way teleportation.
After arriving at the Wind Cloud City’s teleportation plaza, the duo paid some high-grade spirit stones and instantly arrived at the Blue Night City.
“Vacant Mountain Emperor, wait for me in Blue Night City.”
The Vacant Mountain Emperor was too weak and would be a burden to Li Fuchen.
“Alright. Elder Li, please be careful.” The Vacant Mountain Emperor knew his capability as he agreed.
After leaving Blue Night City, Li Fuchen headed straight for the Voracious Beast Guild.
The Voracious Beast Guild was a saint faction and had the protection of a class 9 mid-tier array. In normal situations, not even a mid-level saint could barge into the Voracious Beast Guild. Those who were weaker might just be trapped by the array instead.
Li Fuchen wasn’t sure if he could sneak into the Voracious Beast Guild, but he had to try his best.
The Voracious Beast Build was in the center of the Voracious Beast Mountains. Li Fuchen stopped outside the mountain range. There was an invisible layer of barrier ahead and it was definitely the guild’s array.
“I wonder if I can enter successfully.”
Li Fuchen had already used his spirit soul talent to hide his qi presence. He had also executed the Invisibility incantation to hide his figure.
Right now, his incantation dao was already far superior to the Incantation Martial Emperor, however, he didn’t have the chance to use it.
Of course, it was simply impossible for Li Fuchen to sneak through a class 9 mid-tier array just by using the Invisibility incantation.
It was fortunate that Li Fuchen still had the purple spirit soul and the void dao heart.
The purple spirit soul allowed Li Fuchen to see the flaw in the class 9 mid-tier array, while the void dao heart allowed him to sense the flaw in this spatial zone.
Li Fuchen released his spirit soul power when he was one step away from the array. The originally invisible array revealed plenty of colors to Li Fuchen.
“Class 9 mid-tier array. The array power had already penetrated deep into the spatial zone, therefore, it isn’t enough to just find the flaw. There is a chance of being discovered, but I need to find a place where flaws of both the array and the spatial zone are stacking together.”
Li Fuchen’s eyes flashed. Be it the flaws of the array or the spatial zone, they were clear in Li Fuchen’s eyes. However, there was basically nowhere which had a stack of both flaws together. Both the flaws would be constantly changing places, as such, even if they stacked, it would only be for an instant. It was impossible to make a move.
Li Fuchen waited for a moment where it was absolutely going to succeed.
After 15 minutes, a rather large array flaw was stacked together with a spatial zone flaw.
“This is the moment.”
Li Fuchen held his breath and passed through the array.
Without any sound or presence, Li Fuchen entered the Voracious Beast Mountains.
“It is a success!” Li Fuchen revealed a pleasant expression.
The class 9 mid-tier array was able to trap a mid-level saint, not even a high-level saint could enter silently.
Once inside, Li Fuchen sensed the qi presences of Yan Qingwu and the Thunder Beast.
He followed the qi presence and arrived at the place Yan Qingwu was captured.
It was a beautiful palace complex and Yan Qingwu was placed in one of the luxurious palaces.
Inside the palace, Yan Qingwu let out a sigh. It was almost one year since she had been captured and the Vacant Mountain Emperor should have found Li Fuchen by now. But there was nothing they could do even if Li Fuchen was found. She understood the Voracious Beast Guild very well. It was one of the top five saint factions on the Saint Spirit Continent, therefore, it was basically impossible for her to escape after getting captured.
The Voracious Beast Guild Master, the Voracious Wolf Saint was comparable with the Swordsmen Guild’s Mystic Deep Sword Saint. Even if the Swordsmen Guild had to give some face and wouldn’t possibly form animosity with the Voracious Beast Guild just to rescue her.
It was fortunate that the Scarlet Python Saint went into seclusion immediately after capturing her, otherwise, who knew what kind of circumstances she would be forced into.
“Qingwu.” A voice suddenly entered Yan Qingwu’s ears.
“Li Fuchen?” Yan Qingwu was bewildered.
Not far away, a figure gradually materialized.
“Qingwu, you have suffered.” Li Fuchen revealed a smile.
He could see that Yan Qingwu didn’t suffer any forceful acts and was only imprisoned.
“How did you come in?” Yan Qingwu’s beautiful brows frowned while she had worried eyes.
This was the Voracious Beast Guild and as long as there was a commotion, it would alert the Scarlet Python Saint.
“Just like this…” Li Fuchen grabbed onto Yan Qingwu’s hand and immediately after, Yan Qingwu felt that her qi presence and figure was vanishing.
“Come, let’s go rescue the Thunder Beast.” Li Fuchen led Yan Qingwu to the place where the Thunder Beast was held.
After a moment, a female servant entered the luxurious palace and couldn’t find Yan Qingwu. She felt it was strange but she didn’t report it immediately as she didn’t think that Yan Qingwu could escape this place silently.
Soon after, the duo arrived at a gigantic canyon.
This canyon was called the Hundred Beast Canyon and it was the place where the Voracious Beast Guild raised their demonic beasts.
Inside a branch canyon of the Hundred Beast Canyon, the Thunder Beast was held there. It might be given great food everyday, but it was very gloomy.
He was a tyrant beast and always had its freedom. When had he ever been locked up?
“Lord Tyrant Beast, your food is here.”
Two guild members of the Voracious Beast Guild brought food in and served it with great respect.
They didn’t dare to offend the Thunder Beast who was a low-tier tyrant beast. The Thunder Beast had great use to the Voracious Beast Guild. With enough resources, the Thunder Beast would definitely become a low-tier demonic beast overlord. There was even a great chance he could evolve into a mid-tier demonic beast overlord.
The Thunder Beast snorted and didn’t bother about the two guild members.
Once the two guild members left, the Thunder Beast started to eat with big mouthfuls. He wasn’t going to let himself suffer.
“It seems like you are having a good life.” A voice echoed inside the Thunder Beast’s ears.
The Thunder Beast lifted its head with pleasant surprise.
Li Fuchen and Yan Qingwu’s figures materialized in front of him.
“Do you wish to come with us?” Li Fuchen laughed and said.
“Of course.” The Thunder Beast didn’t hesitate.
“Let’s go then!” Li Fuchen reached out to grab the Thunder Beast.
Deep inside the Hundred Beast Canyon. There was a giant wolf with massive qi presence that suddenly lifted its head.
Apart from the three human saints in the Voracious Beast Guild, there was also a mid-tier demonic beast overlord. It was tamed by the Voracious Wolf Saint a few centuries ago and it had been overseeing the Voracious Beast Guild. It was even stronger than the Scarlet Python Saint.
As a mid-tier demonic beast overlord, the giant wolf could subtly sense the presence of a stranger.
Howl!
The giant wolf howled and suddenly stood up. It was even taller than the Hundred Beast Canyon.
“We are discovered.” Li Fuchen was surprised as he quickly flew towards the outer borders of the Voracious Beast Mountains with Yan Qingwu and the Thunder Beast.
In the depths of the Voracious Beast Guild, the Scarlet Python Saint had been alerted by the giant wolf’s howl.
With a sweep of his spiritual awareness, the Scarlet Python Saint’s expression turned dark.
Within his spiritual awareness, Yan Qingwu had already vanished.
Controlling the array, the Scarlet Python Saint finally found the presence of Li Fuchen and the others.
“There is no escape.”
Just as Li Fuchen’s group was reaching the outer borders of the Voracious Beast Mountains, a powerful array power gathered towards them.
“Break!”
Li Fuchen drew the Joint-Heaven Sword and slashed.
Boom!
The array power was penetrated and the group arrived outside the array.
“Damn it.”
The Scarlet Python Saint didn’t think that Li Fuchen could break the array. His figure flashed as he gave chase.
Li Fuchen’s speed was extremely fast. Even if he was pulling along a human and a beast, his speed was still faster than any of the Law Phase Realm emperors.
It was a pity that the Scarlet Python Saint’s speed wasn’t slow and he was catching up quickly.
It was lucky that the giant wolf didn’t give chase as it probably felt that since the Scarlet Python Saint was making a move, it didn’t need to follow up.
