Chapter 45: Surprising Aftermath

Capturing a living Mutated Rain Swallow and taming one was a completely different concept!

Selling and buying a live Mutated Rain Swallow was one thing, but taming one had a much deeper meaning!

Shang Quan and Ji Shengs reactions were more than exaggerated.

If Shang Quan felt both relief and excitement when Shang Xia returned, the feeling he had when he saw Yan Nier standing obediently on Shang Xias shoulder could be described as endless reverence!

Naturally, his reverence had nothing to do with Shang Xia. That little brat wasnt worthy of his veneration! He stared at Yan Nier like she was a precious treasure!

As for Ji Sheng, the look on his face turned pretty colorful. He tossed Jiang Changyu to the back of his mind and no longer cared about his existence. His tongue was twisted together and talking became a little difficult.

Little brat, you made a real contribution No! This is a great contribution to our faction! Shang Quan didnt know how else to express his joy. He could only slap Shang Xias shoulder happily.

If not for the fact that his body became a lot stronger after entering the Martial Extremity Realm, Shang Quans slaps would have shattered his bones.

Uncle Quan, how important is the Mutated Rain Swallow exactly?! Ill make things clear first. Since Yan Nier agreed to follow me, I wont allow anyone to kill her Shang Xia could guess that the Mutated Rain Swallow was extremely important to the Wind Swallow Race of the Azure Spiritual World, but he didnt know what the Tongyou Peak wanted to do with her.

Chirp, chirp! Yan Nier flapped her wings aggressively as though she understood what Shang Xia meant.

Umm Shang Quan scratched his head and muttered, Youll know when we arrive at the Tongyou Peak At least, I dont think theyll kill her

Shang Quans words were completely useless at reassuring Shang Xia.

No! We wont let her die! Ji Shang spoke all of a sudden.

Meeting Shang Xias bewildered gaze, Ji Sheng explained, If you only managed to capture a live Mutated Rain Swallow, they might not care so much. Now that you tamed the bird, the patriarch will definitely not allow them to kill her!

Ji Shengs cultivation level was comparable to Shang Quan, and their status in their respective families were about the same too. However, Ji Shengs identity as a captain in the Protection Division allowed him to learn some things Shang Quan couldnt.

His words managed to calm Shang Xia to a certain extent, but due to their reluctance to say anything about what they wanted to do to Yan Nier, Shang Xia felt extremely irritated.

In the short time that it took for them to conclude their conversation, a rumbling sound could be heard coming towards them. Gtt the ltest vls at .o/(v)/e/l/bi(.)co

Other patrol squads were gathering towards their location because of the signal they sent out earlier.

Indeed Five disciples riding on Scarlet Cloud Horses approached.

The captain of their group pulled on the reins and he looked at Shang Xia and the others as a trace of surprise crossed his face. Huh? Theres actually so many of them Brother Ji, you made a great contribution by finding the outer disciples! Ill congratulate you in advance.

The disciples dismounted after he spoke.

A bitter laugh left Ji Shengs lips and he waved his hands to dismiss the other captains blessing. Junior Brother Tang, youre mistaken. Anyway, its a long story. Ill tell you when we return. Were taking a short break here. When Junior Brother Li comes, well return to the Tongyou Peak.

Three patrol squads would be sent out to secure a single area. As they wouldnt venture too far away from each other, they could assist the other squads in case anything happened.

Tang Youqian, the other captain, tossed his reins to another disciple. He walked to the side with Ji Sheng and Shang Quan, and they seemed to be discussing something. Shang Xia felt their gaze on him from time to time.

Shang Xia! A young disciple whose age was comparable to Shang Xia ran over all of a sudden. I heard that you managed to comprehend your martial intent and teach Zhu Ying a lesson! Is that true?

Shang Xia raised an eyebrow and gasped, Ju Hang? When did you enter the Protection Division and join a patrol squad?

The youngster chuckled happily, Haha, you definitely didnt expect it. After all, I entered three months before you. I managed to catch Master Tangs eye and when he invited me over to enter the Protection Division, I had to accept!

As long as a disciple in the outer division entered the Martial Realm, they would be allowed to do whatever they want!

Previously, Ju Hang was a disciple of the second outer division. He was fighting for the position of the leader of the outer division with Shang Xia, but he chose to enter the battlefield between two worlds eventually. He didnt even take part in the final evaluation!

The two of them could be considered acquaintances back in the institution and when Shang Xia heard the smugness in his voice, he was slightly taken aback. How important did one have to be for one of the heads of a division to personally invite them? Shang Xia could tell that Ju Hang probably received a letter of appointment, but he was blatantly exaggerating in Shang Xias face.

However, there wasnt a need for Shang Xia to expose him. Congratulations, Brother Ju!

So We

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by a cry of shock. What?! He saved them?

Ju Hang and the others turned to look at Tang Youqian who just yelled out loud. Shang Quan slapped his shoulder and snapped, Little brat, theres no need to shout!

Tang Youqian looked at Shang Xia once again, but he was dragged even further away by the other two and their voices became softer.

Ju Hang stared at Shang Xia as a confident expression returned to his face. He clearly didnt understand what was going on. Lets compete again, what do you think?

His words drew the attention of the other disciples.

Jiang Zihua looked at Ju Hang and asked, You know that Senior Brother Shang has already comprehended his martial intent Did you also comprehend your martial intent?

Ju Hang chuckled lightly without giving an answer.

You did?! Huang Zihua cried. This time, more people started paying attention to them.

Shang Xia finally turned serious when he looked at Ju Hang. Clearly, he wasnt the only one who ran into some sort of fortune! Indeed It was difficult for him to be the only outstanding cultivator in his generation!

Ju Hang revealed a crafty laughter and explained, Ive long since had enough of you! Hehe, youve been sitting in the position of the leader of the outer division Today, its time

WHAT?! That little brat managed to tame a Mutated Ju Hang couldnt complete his sentence when he was interrupted once again.

Turning to look at his captain, Ju Hang didnt know what was going on there.

Can you shut up?! Keep your voice down at least! Are you trying to tell the whole world what happened?! Ji Sheng snapped at him again. Grabbing Tang Youqian by the neck, the three of them lowered their volume.

With the repeated interruptions, Ju Hang couldnt maintain his haughty attitude any longer. His feelings were slightly affected. After all, he entered the Protection Division before entering the inner division! Wasnt he supposed to be special since they broke the rules for him?! Werent the disciples of the outer division supposed to be admiring his prowess?

Moreover, he managed to comprehend a martial intent too!

When he was trying to show off to everyone, he was interrupted time and time again!

The person who did it was none other than his own captain! He didnt even know how to react!

Noticing the awkward expression on Ju Hangs face, Huang Zihua couldnt hold it in any longer. A mischievous smile formed on his face and he asked, Ju Hang, are you trying to challenge Senior Brother Shang?

Even though he was interrupted several times, Ju Hang felt that he had to at least uphold the inspiring momentum he had! He tilted his chin up slightly and spoke, Thats right! Chief Shang, do you dare to take me on?

Shang Xia snickered, You

Are you **ing joking?! Didnt you see that at least five of them entered the Martial Realm?! Tang Youqians voice came from the side once again. However, no one yelled at him after he spoke.

Shang Quan, Ji Sheng, and Tang Youqian stared at the outer disciples all of a sudden. Ji Sheng and Shang Quan failed to hide the shock on their faces.

Ju Hang wanted to smash his head in the ground due to the interruption once again. He seemed to have forgotten his identity as a newcomer to the patrol squad and he grumbled at Tang Youqian, What are all of you on about?! Arent you afraid of scaring us to death?!

He turned around and stared at Shang Xia. Afraid that someone would interrupt him, he spoke quickly, Do you accept or not?!

Shang Xia was helpless. When he wanted to reply, he caught sight of someone and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

Ju Hang didnt have to turn his head when a giant hand pressed down on his head. A familiar voice entered his ears. Little brat, dont you know that he has already entered the Martial Extremity Realm? Are you sure you wish to challenge him?

Tang Youqian scraped his knuckles on Ju Hangs head and slowly turned to look at Shang Xia. There was an incredulous look in his eyes. He seemed to have forgotten that Ju Hang was yelling in pain beside him until the kid spoke up. Captain, cant you address me by my name?!

After speaking, he turned to look at Shang Xia with a suspicious look on his face. The pain he felt seemed to disappear. What?! You You entered the Martial Extremity Realm?!

Shang Xia couldnt be bothered with Ju Hang as he looked at Tang Youqian who was staring at him. There had to be something off about how the man was looking at him

Shang Xia explained helplessly, I was hunted down by the members of the Azure Spiritual World and I had no choice but to risk it all. Luckily, I managed to break through and survive

... How the ** were they supposed to fight? They werent even on the same level!

Ju Hangs expression froze on his face, but he slowly raised his thumb at Shang Xia. Alright, youre something else indeed

After escaping from Tang Youqians grasp, Ju Hang returned to his mount in dejection.

Shang Quan and Ji Sheng approached Shang Xia and asked in disbelief, How did they do it?

Oh, about this I found six intact carriages in a hidden valley. It should still be there now Shang Xia explained the matter entirely.
