Eternal Beast Taming Family

The banquet was held in the small square in front of the Chu family's residence. The space there was large enough to accommodate nearly a hundred guards at the same time.

The moonlight, as clear as water, and the "illusory mica" floating quietly in the air, acted as lamps, illuminating the entire square as bright as day.

When Chu Shengfan arrived, almost everyone had already arrived.

However, this banquet, meant for relaxation, was unusually quiet. Although the guards were seated at the table, they were on high alert, observing their surroundings.

He would only stand up and bow respectfully when he saw Chu Shengfan passing by in the square.

What Chu Shengfan and his companions considered a relaxing banquet was, in the eyes of these guards, merely a casual meal with their superior.

As Chu Shengfan was led to his seat by a servant, a sudden dilemma arose in his heart. Perhaps it would be more practical to give the guards a day off and let them wander around instead of attending such a banquet.

Wu Yuan was seated next to Chu Shengfan, but he was sitting in the very center of the banquet, watching the mortal song and dance performance with great interest.

"This graceful dance and beautiful song, though performed by mortals, has a unique charm when viewed now."

Wu Yuan seems to be the kind of person who knows how to enjoy life. Sometimes Chu Shengfan really envies his ability to be content in any environment.

Chu Shengfan glanced at the center of the square, wondering what was so interesting about that swaying posture. After a couple of glances, he lost interest.

"Uncle Wu, I might be staying in Qixia Town for a while longer, so there's no need to keep these guards on edge all the time."

There shouldn't be any unforeseen dangers in Qixia Town, so why not arrange for them to stay there for a while and relax?

In case of emergencies, being able to respond promptly to a call-up is sufficient.

Wu Yuan raised his eyes, turned around, and twirled the cup in his hand.

"Okay, but too much time is not good either. Adding your original training time, you need to get back before the Jingyuan Dynasty's all-academy exchange conference."

Chu Shengfan was naturally aware of the academy exchange conference that Wu Yuan mentioned. It was to be held in March after the Lunar New Year, which was just over half a year away.

It seems like a long time, but the duration of the training is uncertain. If one doesn't use the spatial passage but travels from outside the boundary, the time required is really hard to determine.

Time really isn't very plentiful.

He can shorten his own training time, but he must keep an eye on this family.

Chu Shengfan's eyes held a firm resolve, but he also gave Wu Yuan a definite answer: "It shouldn't take more than a month."

His gaze fell on the empty seat next to Xiao Yuan across from him, and he asked with some confusion, "Xiao Yuan's senior brother didn't come?"

"She went outside the border this morning and hasn't come back since, hmph."

In his pursuit of the legendary kite, he even forgot his primary duty of protecting his junior brother.

Clearly, Wu Yuan disapproved of Qiao Yinjiao's actions.

Chu Shengfan considered it for a moment, "Perhaps that Senior Brother Qiao also has his own unspeakable difficulties."

Despite saying that, he was also slightly dissatisfied deep down. After all, Xiao Yuan was his own younger brother, and the strongest guard beside him had left his post without permission. Wasn't that playing with his brother's life?

With a clap of hands, the music from traditional Chinese string and wind instruments stopped.

The sound of clapping came from Chu Jingyu, who was in the main seat. His missing left arm had miraculously been restored to its original state.

His face was rosy and glowing, clearly showing that he was in high spirits because of a happy occasion.

Just as Chu Jingyu was about to say something, the world suddenly began to shake violently, and a strong tremor occurred throughout the entire Heyu Town area.

The servants and musicians lost their footing and fell to the ground in their panic.

The food, dishes, and teacups at the banquet shattered on the floor with a clattering sound.

After this first strong shaking, another strong shaking is about to occur in less than two seconds.

This time, Chu Shengfan saw it clearly, as if a shockwave from the outside world had attacked the entire space of Heyu Town.

Wu Yuan frowned slightly, and the "Sky-Splitting Electric Domain Bird" appeared beside him, its small body letting out a high-pitched cry.

The shockwave was dissipated before it even reached the horizon, and the entire space seemed to be anchored, becoming completely stable and no longer shaking.

"That is?"

Chu Shengfan's expression was solemn; the shaking of the heavens and earth was abnormal.

Wu Yuan looked up at the sky and said, "The attack came from outside the realm. I don't know if it was a targeted attack or the aftermath of a battle."

I'm going to check outside the boundary. You all protect the young master well.

The last sentence was addressed to the guards around him, who had all stood up, surrounded by various source beasts, and were on high alert.

The wings of the "Sky-Splitting Electric Domain Bird" flickered slightly, and a black light formed a passage in front of Wu Yuan, just wide enough for one person to pass through.

Before reaching the passage today, Wu Yuan turned to look at Chu Shengfan, his expression revealing a hint of solemnity.

It's likely that someone deliberately used this method to lure me away, and the target was the young palace master, or the young palace master's brother who was somewhat "excited" over there.

A canine-like creature, dark blue in color and resembling a Tibetan Mastiff, appeared before the group.

It stood on all fours, nearly three meters tall, with three heads and six fox-like tails. Its eyes gleamed with ferocity. It took a step forward and firmly protected Chu Shengfan by its side.

Chu Shengfan had naturally seen this Source Beast before; it was Wu Yuan's third Source Beast and his second Domain-level Source Beast, the "Three-Headed Yuechen Hound".

"Source Beast: Three-Headed Yuechen Mastiff"

Equal level: Lower domain level

Qualification: Extraordinary

Status: Alert, watching over the cubs

Attribute Tendency: Martial Arts

Skill: 1. Axe and Halberd Weapon: Summons and conjures axe and halberd weapon that can chop at the target, with the power to easily split mountains.

2. Muyang Lingshou: One of the three heads, its eyes open like the convergence of the sun, able to see through all illusions, and produce a burning effect on the target it gazes at.

3. Yang Fire Battle Body: Controlled by Mu Yang Ling Shou, this body is composed of pure solar power and is much larger, capable of summoning Yang Fire to accompany its attacks.

4. Chen Yueling: One of the three heads. Its eyes are open like a cold moon in the sky. When a target is looked at directly, the surrounding moonlight gathers and the space becomes heavy and viscous, greatly reducing the target's ability to move.

5. Frosty Moon Battle Body: Controlled by Chen Yueling, this body is composed of pure lunar power. It is petite yet more agile, and the power of moonlight grants it stronger penetrating point damage.

6. Pure Yuan True Head: One of the three heads, it has the ability to regenerate in a short time even if it is cut off.

7. Domain of War Spirits: The Three-Headed Yuechen Hound expands its domain, within which various forms of war spirits will continuously condense to assist the Three-Headed Yuechen Hound in battle.

8. Soul-Slaying Axe: A three-headed axe-like weapon formed by the Chen Hound, capable of directly affecting the soul, damaging the target's soul.

I remember the first time I checked the information about this "Three-Headed Yuechen Mastiff", it consumed nearly a quarter of Chu Shengfan's energy.

In fact, the difference between Domain Rank and Spirit Rank is not just two skills, but also their physical body, aura, and the quality of their skills.

It is estimated that when facing the "Three-Headed Yuechen Hound", unless there is any particularly special source beast, it is only a matter of time before it takes down the nearly one hundred spirit-level contract masters present.

Seeing the "Three-Headed Yuechen Mastiff" guarding Chu Shengfan's side, Wu Yuan finally felt at ease and stepped into the spatial passage.
