Chapter 165: Guess

Lou Mu Yan was sent by Thunder Monarch to outside the foggy forest. As soon as she stabilised herself, eight Peak-Phase Tier 5 Demonic Beasts with their Demonic Energy bound fell to her side.

She looked around and found that there weren’t any auras of Ye Qing Han and the others, and also knew that Thunder Monarch didn’t want her to be exposed.

She walked in front of the several Demonic Beasts, quickly formed seals and inserted a different type of Contract Skill within the Ancient Contract Skill into the body of the Demonic Beasts.

The jade-coloured talisman seals entered the bodies of the eight Demonic Beasts one after the other, forming a Seal in the yao’fu. As long as it was under the influence of her Mental Energy, others could be recognised as Owner.

After the contract was completed, she put all the eight Demonic Beasts into the Spirit Beast Ring.

“Mo Yan, can you find out where Qing Han and the others are.” Lou Mu Yan also put Xue into the Spirit Beast Ring. He was also one of her life-saving skills and couldn’t be exposed.

Mo Yan looked towards the east and said: “Over there. It’ll take nearly two hours to get there.”

Lou Mu Yan nodded, then used Flash Steps to move in that direction. She didn’t want to go there so early, and by arriving two hours later, she could also bring out two Demonic Beasts, saying that she caught it along the way.

“Owner, what does the Tier 9 Demon Cultivator want you to help with? I don’t think it’ll be that simple.” Bing Ji’s tone carried some rare cautiousness.

Lou Mu Yan smiled and said: “We’ll know when the time comes. Didn’t you hear him keep emphasising that he hopes for me to stay alive to see him?”

“Just what’s his purpose?” Mo Yan’s eyes darkened.

“Did you all discover a problem.” Lou Mu Yan asked.

“What problem?” Mo Yan and Bing Ji asked at the same time.

“He was constantly asking me about my Ancient Contract Skill, and he emphasised the Continental Tournament for Hegemony. That is, what he asked me to help with must have something to do with the Tournament for Hegemony.” Lou Mu Yan said.

The two Demons reviewed the conversation between Thunder Monarch and Lou Mu Yan and found the same problem. Mo Yan said: “Indeed, he said last that he hoped you would be alive to see him in the Tournament for Hegemony and asked you not to delay and to hurry back to improve your strength for the Tournament. His goal is definitely for the Tournament for Hegemony.”

“Why is a Tier 9 Demon Cultivator going for the human’s Continental Tournament for Hegemony?” After Bing Ji began to follow Lou Mu Yan, he also knew of Tian’ling Continent’s Tournament for Hegemony, so he was very puzzled by the Demon Cultivator’s purpose, “Could it be that he wants to destroy the human’s prosperous age?”

“Probably not.” Lou Mu Yan shook her head, “Don’t overthink it. We’ll know when the time comes.”

She didn’t think that Thunder Monarch had such a noble sentiment that he would fight against the Human Race for the sake of the Demon Race. From the fact that he gifted her Tier 5 Demonic Beasts as interest, she knew that Demon Cultivator’s personality was extremely indifferent.

She just had a feeling that the Tier 9 Demon Cultivator was not only going for the Tournament for Hegemony, but also had a deep connection with the Tournament.

“Our top priority right now is to improve our strength.” Lou Mu Yan’s eyes revealed firmness, “Bing Ji, you can’t be lazy when we return.”

Today’s events had affected her deeply. It felt very awful to be threatened by high-level powerhouses. If she wanted to break free from such a situation, then she must make herself infinitely stronger, and as such, could also be able to protect her family.

“I know, Owner.” Bing Ji nodded. Since meeting that Tier 9 Demon Cultivator, he also didn’t dare to be complacent and conservative anymore. For the first time, a sense of crisis was born in his heart.

Two hours later.

Lou Mu Yan rushed to a dense forest. Shi Feng and the others sat cross-legged under a big tree to recover.

After discovering a foreign aura and realised it was Lou Mu Yan’s, the several people opened their eyes and looked at her with a little excitement.

“Mu Yan, are you fine.”

“I’m fine, I’ve made you all worry.” Lou Mu Yan could see that although the several people were recovering, but the worried looks couldn’t be concealed.

“That Tier 9 Demon Cultivator didn’t make things difficult for you right?” Ye Qing Han asked in concern.

“No, just asked me about the Human-Eating Blood Thorn Vine King.” Lou Mu Yan didn’t want to tell the few people about her agreement with Thunder Monarch, “But he doesn’t allow us to stay in the Three Danger Areas anymore, so he sent us all out.”

Ye Qing Han and the others nodded with varying expressions, knowing that things were definitely not that simple, but they understood to not ask anymore questions.

“Let’s go back to Luo’xi City.”

Lou Mu Yan wanted to remove Ye Qing Le and Ling Fei Yang’s poison and quickly return to the Lou Clan as soon as possible to prepare for the Continental Tournament for Hegemony.

Hearing the tone of that Tier 9 Demon Cultivator, the Continental Tournament for Hegemony wasn’t that simple, and there were also life-threatening worries. She should at least do some more preparations.

“Alright!”

The matter of catching Demonic Beasts at Sunset Cloud Mountain Range was already impossible now, and they also wanted to return to Luo’xi City as soon as possible.

It only took the few people half a day to return to Luo’xi City on Bing Ji. Originally, Mu Yi and Shi Feng didn’t plan to stay after visiting, but Lou Mu Yan’s treatment could be observed, so they didn’t leave immediately either.

At night, Lou Mu Yan called for Yun Lan and Ling Fei Yang telepathically.

The two of them coincidentally went to the courtyard where Lou Mu Yan resided together.

“Yan’er, you want us for something?” Yun Lan asked after sitting down.

Lou Mu Yan took out a box of Spiritual Tea from Ye Zhan and brewed it, “Indeed there’s something.”

Seeing that both of them looked at her with puzzled eyes, Lou Mu Yan filled their cups with the brewed Spiritual Tea, and with a snap of her fingers, a white light flashed. The Sound-Proof Spiritual-Proof Array that had already been arranged in the room early on activated.

With a thought, two Demonic Beasts at Peak-Phase Tier 5 strength that had been marked by a Contract Seal appeared in the room.

Most of the late-phase Tier 5 Demonic Beasts could all change their size, so the two Demonic Beasts both became the size of ordinary tigers according to Lou Mu Yan’s request.

“Yan’er, are these two Tier 5 Demonic Beasts contracted by you?” Yun Lan asked, dumbfounded, looking at the Demonic Beasts on the floor.

Ling Fei Yang’s indifferent eyes also revealed some shock. Although he knew that Lou Mu Yan was a Spirit Beast Master, but he was still unaccustomed to it after personally seeing her release Peak-Phase Tier 5 Demonic Beasts.

“That Tier 9 Demon Cultivator left me in another place in the foggy forest. When I came, I caught three Tier 5 Demonic Beasts along the way to contract.”

Lou Mu Yan pointed to the two Demonic Beasts whose attributes were very compatible with the two and said, “Elder Cousin Brothers, please choose one with the same attribute and drip a drop of blood to contract.”

“This—?” Ling Fei Yang thought a bit, then said: “You can bring the one you wanted to give me back and give it to Mu Bai or Mu Ting to contract.”

Yun Lan also felt that he owed Lou Mu Yan a lot, “When there’s another chance in the future, you can help me contract. You can bring these two back to the Lou Clan.”

Lou Mu Yan praised the character of the two in her heart. In the face of such temptation, although they desired it, but they were still able to remain clear-headed—they were worthy for her to raise.

“Elder Cousin Brothers don’t believe in my ability that much?” Lou Mu Yan smiled brightly and said: “Since I can catch these two Tier 5 Demonic Beasts to contract, then I’ll naturally be able to find more suitable Spirit Pets for my Elder Brothers in the future.

“The attributes of these two Demonic Beasts are very compatible with the two of you. Hurry up and make a contract, otherwise I’ll be angry.”

Ling Fei Yang and Yun Lan exchanged a glance and found that Lou Mu Yan wasn’t joking. There was warmth in their eyes, and the two were no longer quarrelsome. They stepped up and chose a Demonic Beast each to drip a drop of blood and contract.
