Chapter 219: 219

“Mr. Guo, when are we going to the Turtle Shell Ancient City?”

At Jiangzhou University, Miao Shuyao asked an older man.

“Well, no hurry. We will set out when the candidates from Gutian University and Qingyun University arrive here. As to Ye Xuan, don’t mind him. He is a different case.”

Mr. Guo replied to her.

Miao Shuyao knitted her brows together. She wondered what was so special about Ye Xuan.

They would set out for the Turtle Shell Ancient City very soon. However, the King of Tianshan of Jiangzhou came to take Ye Xuan away.

She had no idea at all that the man who had left with the King of Tianshan was not Ye Xuan.

It was simply a clone of his.

They started to plan everything two days ago. And this day, they started to carry out the plan officially.

In the air, Ye Xuan was standing next to Wang Tianshan on the back of the Golden-Winged Verdant Roc. They were flying somewhere at high speed.

“Mr. Wang, where are we going? If we keep traveling like this, how would those people find us?”

On their way, Ye Xuan asked Wang Tianshan out of curiosity.

“It is still early. We will go to the Xia’s border first to meet some other people. Then those people will naturally find us.”

“If we keep staying within the territory of the Xia, Challenger-level Beast Tamers from other clans will not have the nerve to enter the Xia.”

Wang Tianshan explained.

“Challenger-level Beast Tamers will not have the nerve to enter the Xia?”

That reply piqued the curiosity in Ye Xuan.

In theory, the stronger a Beast Tamer was, the easier it should be for him or her to slip into the Xia to sabotage things.

However, why did Wang Tianshan say Challenger-level Beast Tamers would not have the nerve to enter the Xia?

“Some time ago, it was reported the King of Shadow of the Barren State of the Xia repulsed a Challenger-level Beast Tamer from the Silver Blood Clan who had intended to enter the Xia through Guluo. Did you see that news?”

Seeing Ye Xuan puzzled, Wang Tianshan reminded him.

“Yeah, I did.”

Ye Xuan nodded.

However, he did not know what Wang Tianshan was implying.

But he read the news indeed.

He remembered it was when he had just returned from the Dragon Horn Planet.

And he read some other news, too.

Besides that, tens of thousands of Beast Tamers from the Eternal Night Clan arrived on the Cerulean Planet through the space channel of Jiama, and they signed a peace agreement with Jiama.

Another news was about the resignation of the king of Gute.

He was so pissed off by the news he had read that day that he could not fall asleep. So, he went out to practice his first method.

He still vaguely remembered the name of that Challenger-level Beast Tamer from the Silver Blood Clan. He thought that Challenger-level Beast Tamer was called Simon or something similar.

“The Xia is different from other countries. If any Beast Tamer on or above the Challenger level sneaks into the Xia, we will find him or her out immediately.”

Wang Tianshan said to Ye Xuan while he was still thinking about the news.

“Yeah? Is that so?”

Ye Xuan was shocked.

Not until then did he come to understand the reason that the Xia had been able to maintain a good order since the Ancient God Planet had appeared, whereas many other countries had fallen into chaos.

He had hardly heard any news about any foreign Beast Tamer’s “major achievement” in the Xia after having sneaked into the Xia.

Time passed fast as Ye Xuan and Wang Tianshan talked.

The Golden-Winged Verdant Roc was only a Master-level beast instead of a Challenger-level one, but it could fly at high speed.

About more than an hour later, passing by countless mountains and rivers, Wang Tianshan and he arrived in Fengzhou, one of the nine prefectures of the Xia.

Then they traveled a little more in Fengzhou. In the end, they stopped at a bay at the border of Fengzhou.

“Mr. Wang, it is you. You have finally arrived.”

When the Golden-Winged Verdant Roc had landed, Ye Xuan instantly saw there were already eight people waiting at the bay.

One of them was a graceful middle-aged man. He greeted Wang Tianshan with a smile as soon as he saw the latter.

Next to the graceful middle-aged man, there was a woman.

She looked young.

Seeing the man and the woman standing together, Ye Xuan felt they looked like a great couple. They were a perfect match for each other.

“Oh? We are not the last to arrive?”

Wang Tianshan instantly led Ye Xuan to the middle-aged man who had greeted him.

Ye Xuan looked ahead while walking. He found among the people waiting at the bay. There were another two who should be the same age as that middle-aged man and woman.

Except those four, the other four were all very young. They should be his age.

Apparently, those four were also baits of this plan, just like him.

“This is… Feng Xiangming from Zhongzhou?”

As he approached them, Ye Xuan’s attention was instantly drawn to one of them.

This man was exactly Feng Xiangming from Zhongzhou University. Ye Xuan had seen that name a lot on the Internet.

He saw a report about Feng Xiangming once when he was purchasing resources for Lil Wan to rise in stars on the Internet. That was even before he was admitted to Jiangzhou University.

According to that report, Feng Xiangming contracted with a four-star Dragon Blood Peacock on the Platinum level.

A four-star Platinum-level Dragon Blood Peacock had a great chance of upgrading to the Challenger level.

Ye Xuan had been jealous of him for a long time after having read that report.

In terms of age, Feng Xiangming was not a lot older than him.

He was only four years older than Ye Xuan.

However, Ye Xuan believed the current gap between him and Feng Xiangming was no longer so big.

“Two months…”

Ye Xuan said to himself.

He must become a Platinum-level Beast Tamer in two months.

While he was thinking about that, Wang Tianshan had started to talk with the people waiting here.

“This must be Ye Xuan. My young friend, thank you for saving my daughter on the Ancient God Planet not long ago.”

After some small talks, the middle-aged man who had greeted Wang Tianshan shifted his gaze at Ye Xuan. At the same time, the woman next to him also looked at Ye Xuan.

“Ye Xuan, this is Fang Xianmin, Deputy Secretary of the Education Bureau of the Xia. He is also Fang Luotian’s father, that friend you knew on the Ancient God Planet. And this is Fang Luotian’s mother, Lan Qingyu…”

Fang Xianmin?

Deputy Secretary of the Education Bureau of the Xia?

Ye Xuan was dumbfounded.

He did not know Fang Luotian and Fang Lan were from such a prominent family.

In fact, Fang Xianmin’s official capacity was not what mattered most.

More importantly, the fact that he and Lan Qingyu were here meant both of them must be Challenger-level Beast Tamers.

He was really eager to give Fang Luotian a call at the moment.

He wanted to ask Fang Luotian what it felt like to have Challenger-level parents.

“Uncle, auntie.”

Ye Xuan greeted them immediately when Wang Tianshan had introduced him to them.

“Ye Xuan.”

At this moment, a man who looked four or five years older than Ye Xuan walked over. He extended his hand to Ye Xuan with a smile. “I am Fang Luohong, the eldest brother of Fang Lan and Fang Luotian. I am in the sixth year at Zhongzhou University.”

Eh…

Ye Xuan was struck dumb. Then he hurried to shake hands with Fang Luohong.

What is this supposed to mean?

You are bait, too?

At this moment, Ye Xuan felt the Fangs were really a genius family.

Fang Luotian was a genius.

Fang Lan’s talent was evidently not bad, either.

And since Fang Luohong was one of the baits of this plan, he must be a genius, too.

“Come on. Let’s go there. I have some friends whom I want you to know.”

Fang Luohong shook Ye Xuan’s hand. Then he took Ye Xuan to see the other young men waiting there.

Ye Xuan coped very well.

Otherwise, if he had stuck around with Wang Tianshan, it would be quite boring for him.

“Ye Xuan, I have heard so much about you.”

A young man greeted Ye Xuan first before he could greet them when he had followed Fang Luohong to where Feng Xiangming and the other two men were standing.

“I am really flattered. It is me who have heard a lot about you, Wang Tao.”

Ye Xuan waved his hand. “Besides, now that we are here, we are all just insignificant baits.”

In fact, he really did not know who the young man that had greeted him was.

However, on the other side, who was he?

He was just an insignificant clone.

Before the clone spoke, he used his cell phone to search on the Internet in Jiangzhou, and he found the young man’s name right away.

He found the young man was called Wang Tao, and he was in the sixth year at Jingzhou University.

Actually, except for him, most of the others selected as baits of this plan were Platinum-level Beast Tamers in the fifth or sixth year at other universities.

Because usually, only genius students at the Platinum level from different universities would draw those foreign clans’ attention.

He was just an exception.

“That’s right. We are all just some insignificant baits now.”

They all broke into a smile.

Although Ye Xuan’s cultivation level was a little lower than the cultivation level of others, he did not feel inferior to them.

He blended in with the group quite well.

They were waiting while talking.

Apparently, there were a few others who had not arrived.

Whoosh!

About three minutes later, a flying beast flew over from far away.

An older man and a young man got off it.

In the next half an hour, one after another, a flying beast flew down from the sky and landed while they were waiting.

Every flying beast was carrying two Beast Tamers.

In the end, there were ten young men in all, including Ye Xuan.

And there were ten Challenger-level Beast Tamers in all as well.

“Ten Challenger-level Beast Tamers?”

Ye Xuan was slightly shocked.

That was a great lineup.

After all, there were only over one hundred Beast Tamers on the Challenger level in the Xia in all.

These Challenger-level Beast Tamers would protect the young Beast Tamers on the surface.

Since the Xia was using their own men as baits this time, it must have sent more people to protect them in the dark, too.

Ye Xuan felt even more shocked when he had realized that.

He wondered whether they would succeed this time.

And if they could succeed, how great would the success be?

It was such a big scheme that he felt killing one or two Challenger-level Beast Tamers from foreign clans could not be regarded as a success at all.

“Let’s go!”

While Ye Xuan was thinking about that, Wang Tianshan found all of them had arrived.

So, he instantly led them to fly to the sea in the distance.

They became some small dots over the sea in a second.

Splash!

A bloodthirsty ancient shark with tusks leaped out of the sea. However, it jumped back into the water as soon as it saw Ye Xuan and others. And it did not have the nerve to show up again.

However, not all monsters living in the sea were so coward as this bloodthirsty ancient shark.

On their way, Ye Xuan saw with his own eyes a giant black tentacle sticking out of the water.

It pierced through the body of a giant bird flying in the sky like a spear and then took the bird into the sea.

Wang Tianshan and other Challenger-level Beast Tamers turned serious as soon as they saw the black tentacle. They hurried to take the young Beast Tamers out of that area.

“This is the sea of this world?”

Ye Xuan’s eyes lit up.

He swam in the sea in his previous life. However, this sea was beyond its comparison.

Looking at the tumbling sea, he thought he really needed to contract with a sea beast.

He would mount a dominator of the sea to travel across the sea when he had contracted with a sea beast. That would be amazing.

On the Cerulean Planet, the sea was always mysterious to human beings.

Even some Challenger-level Beast Tamers would not have the nerve to explore the sea easily.

“They are here. Get ready!”

While Wang Tianshan and other Challenger-level Beast Tamers led Ye Xuan and other young Beast Tamers to the deep part of the sea.

Shrouded in fog, more than ten figures met up.

They detected the flying route of Ye Xuan and others through a scouting-type beast.

“The number doesn’t seem right. There are only ten Challenger-level Beast Tamers?”

One of them asked in a cold voice.

“No. I can sense there are more people following them in the dark. But even so, they are as many as us at most.”

“There is nothing to fear. Our target is those genius students of the Xia instead of the Challenger-level Beast Tamers.”

“I have a hunch there is something not so right here. Could there be any trap?”

A Beast Tamer from the Eternal Night Clan said, knitting his brows together.

“Trap? But what can they use to make a trap? There are not many Beast Tamers on the Challenger level in the Xia.”

“Except for Fang Xianmin and Wang Tianshan, how many of the other Challenger-level Beast Tamers can clone themselves?”

A Beast Tamer from the Silver Horn Clan said with a cold smile.

The Silver Horn Clan and the Eternal Night Clan held grudges, too.

More than one hundred years ago, the Eternal Night Clan invaded the Silver Horn Clan.

However, more than one hundred years had passed by then, and the Silver Horn Clan had expanded. They had especially allocated a great force to find opportunities to occupy the Eternal Night Planet.

However, the Silver Horn Clan and the Eternal Night Clan collaborated again on the Cerulean Planet.

They were going to eliminate the Xia, their biggest obstacle to occupy the Cerulean Planet, together.
