Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2761 - Passed By

"Enter."

Gu Chunhan had just finished speaking when a voice as cold as ice came from inside, giving him a fright.

"Yes!" Gu Chunhan and Gu Xiayang exchanged glances. Their thousand-meter-tall bodies moved forward as hunched as seahorses. They gently pushed open the door and walked in with Tianming.

Purple mist lingered in the tens-of-thousands-of-meters-tall hall. For Tianming, the space seemed endless. The purple mist was all xeno source, indicating that Lord Guang Ling's cultivation conditions were excellent.

Really wealthy! He’s received a lot of benefits, Tianming marveled. Why didn't the New Shrine allow the processing of permanent rights through official channels? Obviously, it was because the official channels didn't yield much profit, so everyone came to these officials’ homes for help.

As Tianming was thinking, he saw, in the depths of the purple mist in front of him, the silhouette of a giant sitting in meditation. He was surrounded by the drifting purple mist, indicating that he was cultivating.

Quite imposing!

Suddenly, a huge snakehead extended from the purple mist. It was two colored, black on one half and red on the other. It was the head on Lord Guang Ling's tail. It exuded a strong bloody smell as it emerged from the mist, appearing in front of the three of them.

The snakehead’s tongue flicked out as it circled around the three of them. The scent of blood filled the air.

"Demonhogs, not bad. You’re even doing business with otherworlders. You guys are quite ambitious." The voice of the snakehead was eerie, sending shivers down the spine.

"Lord... Lord! The main reason is that this little brother has fate with us and fits our taste. He wants to stay in the imperial capital, so we’re recommending him to Milord," Gu Chunhan nervously explained.

Not only him, even Tianming was nervous in this atmosphere.

"Fate? Your fate is... to make more money," the snakehead chuckled. Its long snake tongue wrapped around Tianming, covering his entire body with saliva and venom. Tianming noticed that even the tongue was two colors.

It was said that the more colors and more vibrant the tail's snakehead was, the higher the bloodline of an antiquitean. This was the first two-colored antiquitean Tianming had seen.

"Nervous, eh? Haha!"

Lord Guang Ling retracted the snakehead.

"Great Lord? Should I ask him for money?" Gu Chunhan tentatively asked.

"I'm not in a good mood today. Originally, I planned to eat the three of you and be done with it. But we're doing business, right? We need some rules to ensure a steady stream of business. So ask for money!" Lord Guang Ling said.

Upon hearing that, Tianming finally breathed a sigh of relief. This was Lord Guang Ling's territory; he could indeed choose to kill the three of them and still get all the soulstones. However, he couldn't be sure whether Gu Chunhan had mentioned anything to others before they left. If they didn't leave, others who were running errands for Lord Guang Ling would surely be scared.

Even though Tianming was of another race, Lord Guang Ling didn't mind. After all, who would have a grudge against soulstones?

"Thanks, Milord!" Gu Chunhan quickly signaled to Tianming to express his gratitude as well.

The soulstones on Tianming were all looted, so he didn't feel bad about taking them out. He took out about sixty-two million soulstones and could tell that Lord Guang Ling was very satisfied. The soulstones piled up like a mountain, but Lord Guang Ling's snakehead was skilled. With a sweep, it pushed them to the side of the hall, claiming them as its own.

Money collected!

The next, most crucial step was the granting of permanent rights. The imperial capital was relatively primitive, lacking the systematic structure of the Lin Clan's Clan Registry Formation. They only needed to give a token to complete the process.

"What's your name?" Lord Guang Ling asked.

"Li Tianming."

"A little outworlder, amusing." Lord Guang Ling made a cackling sound, probably carving the token for Tianming.

Tianming could only patiently wait.

He saw that the black token was actually a huge stone monument about five hundred meters long! It was only a token in the hands of Lord Guang Ling.

During the wait, the hearts of the three of them were pounding. At this moment, a shocking voice came from outside! "Lord Guang Ling, there’s a few divine wonderians seeking an audience! The leader is called Custodian Demonpiece."

"Not meeting them!" Lord Guang Ling waved his hand. He wasn't interested if they weren't here to bring money.

However, upon hearing the announcement, Tianming's mind went numb. If they came in, he would be absolutely doomed. He was already prepared to let Feiling drag him out. If Lord Guang Ling hadn't said he wouldn’t meet them, Tianming would have already escaped.

"Lord Guang Ling, but the other party has brought someone from the Myriadpath Valley," the person outside said.

"Myriadpath Valley?" Lord Guang Ling frowned for a moment, standing up.

Tianming's heart was pounding and he broke out in a cold sweat. He was about to pull the rope.

Boom! A massive stone monument engraved with his name smashed in front of him. It was the proof of the granting of permanent rights!

"Thanks, Lord Guang Ling!" The token was right in front of him, and Tianming, without caring too much, hurriedly stored it in his spatial ring.

"Gu Chunhan, take your people and leave. Move quick," Lord Guang Ling said.

"Yes, yes!" Gu Chunhan, who didn't know about the wonderian matter, was already scared enough. He quickly grabbed Tianming. Tianming allowed him to hold him, not even a strand of his white hair exposed.

As the three of them opened the door to leave, they happened to hear Lord Guang Ling saying to the person outside, "Alright, let them in."

"Yes!" The antiquitean outside turned and left.

Gu Chunhan and the others quickly left.

Tianming hadn't seen it for himself, but Yin Chen told him that it saw Custodian Demonpiece along with Li Fan from Myriadpath Valley, that orange-haired person! However, here he wasn't a youth; he was a peak expert of two thousand years old and much stronger than Lord Guang Ling.

The two teams passed each other at the entrance of Lord Guang Ling's place.

Tianming's scalp was numb as he escaped in a panic!

Meanwhile, Custodian Demonpiece and Li Fan entered Lord Guang Ling's hall.

After entering, Li Fan squinted at Lord Guang Ling and directly said, "Lord Guang Ling, we, Myriadpath Valley, want the New Shrine’s cooperation to help us find an outworlder youngster in the Ninth District."

"Name." Lord Guang Ling showed slight displeasure. Obviously, he preferred dealing with those who came bearing money instead of someone like Li Fan, who simply demanded things as soon as he arrived.

Li Fan glanced around at the ubiquitous soulstones, pursed his lips, and said, "A child with white hair, gold and black pupils, and a beast arm on his left, proficient in totems, wonders, and lifebound beasts. His name is... Li Tianming."

Lord Guang Ling sprayed out a mouthful of water.
