Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Reunion (1)_1

Everyone began to discuss among themselves. In the end, it was the Cang Ying who stood up and said, "We dare not doubt Lord Lan’s words, but after all, they are your Phantom Beasts. We can’t just take their word for it and believe you. After all, humans are very cunning."

Dugu Qianye smiled and said, "That’s quite simple."

Then she placed her right hand over her heart and said, "I, Dugu Qianye, hereby swear that if a Phantom Beast submits to me, I will ensure their level is elevated. Should I deceive, I am willing to plummet into the dark abyss of hell!" As Dugu Qianye finished speaking, a silver light entered her heart.

Dugu Qianye lowered her hand and asked, "How about now? Don’t worry, I will find a suitable Pledged Master for you. They won’t treat you as mere tools, but as partners standing shoulder to shoulder in battle."

The Beasts looked at each other, still hesitant. Dugu Qianye was not in a rush; she took a chair out of her Space Ring, sat down, leaned back, and crossed her legs, saying, "This opportunity only comes once. Miss it, and there’s no second chance."

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the Seven-tailed Fox stepped forward and said, "I am willing to give it a try."

"Good." Dugu Qianye walked over, placed her hand on the forehead of the Seven-tailed Fox, and activated the second part of the Beast Taming Technique, letting her Phantom Power slowly enter the body of the Seven-tailed Fox. She found the Demon Crystal and began to envelop it gently. Initially facing some subconscious resistance, it didn’t take long before the Demon Crystal was completely covered. The Beast Taming Technique merged Dugu Qianye’s Phantom Power with the strength of the Seven-tailed Fox, creating a new force. Most of this power entered into the Seven-tailed Fox’s Demon Crystal while a portion traveled back the way it came, entering Dugu Qianye’s body and sinking into her Dantian.

Dugu Qianye withdrew her hand, and the Seven-tailed Fox cried out twice with "ow, ow." Above its head appeared five pentagrams, and its seven white tails danced in the air. Then, its body was enveloped in the glow of Promotion Light. Beside the five pentagrams another slowly appeared, followed by the growth of another tail. Growing as quickly as if carried by the wind, the eighth tail soon matched the others in size. After a while, the glow of advancement finally dissipated.

"Wow, Xiaojiu has truly advanced!"

"Wasn’t he just promoted to a level five Divine Beast not long ago?"

"It seems that what she said was true."

Dugu Qianye walked over and said, "You are the first to submit to me. From now on, you will follow me." Then, she dropped a droplet of blood into the brow of the now Eight-tailed Fox, which while still stunned from advancing was enveloped by the light of the pact. Then once again, it was shrouded in Promotion Light.

Back in the academy after a semester of absorbing Phantom Power through Dandan, Dugu Qianye had already advanced to a level 7 Phantom King. Now, by forming a pact with a level 6 Divine Beast, she had gained another two levels to become a level 8 Phantom King.

"She’s just a teenager, yet she’s already a level 8 Phantom King!"

"My goodness, Xiaojiu has advanced again!"

"Following her, Xiaojiu’s future is bound to be limitless."

"Had I known, I would have been the first to go."

"Master." Xiaojiu, now in its human form, ran to Dugu Qianye’s side. "Master, I’ve advanced two levels! Thank you, Master."

Dugu Qianye picked up Xiaojiu and said, "Your name is Xiaojiu? I used to be called Xiaojiu as well. How come your tails have become eight?"

"Hehe, Master, I am from the Nine-Tailed Fox clan. Actually, contrary to what others say, we don’t start with nine tails at birth. We Nine-Tailed Foxes are born with just one tail and as our level increases, the other tails gradually grow. Once I advance to a Super Divine Beast, my ninth tail will grow out!"

Dugu Qianye understood and said, "So that’s how it is. I also thought that Nine-Tailed Foxes were born with nine tails."

Hehe, who would have thought that the Phantom Beast I took in on a whim was actually the legendary Nine-Tailed Fox?

"Humans, we are willing to submit to you." Seeing that Dugu Qianye was only talking to the Nine-Tailed Fox and not even glancing at them, the other beasts had no choice but to speak up first.

"Have you considered this carefully?" Dugu Qianye asked, "I am quite democratic, after all. If you’re unwilling, we won’t force you."

"Willing, we are willing," the beasts replied, tripping over each other to answer. Seeing Xiaojiu’s promotion as easy as drinking water, who wouldn’t be happy!

Dugu Qianye chuckled inwardly, but maintained a composed expression: "Then line up, and I’ll tame you one by one."

The beasts lined up, each coming before Dugu Qianye in turn, while Xiaoyin and the others watched on the side, feeling quite moved. Others couldn’t even dream of having a Divine Beast, but here they were, queuing up for taming before their master.

Dugu Qianye began to tame tirelessly, and all the tamed Divine Beasts grew one level. The Cang Ying advanced to a Super Divine Beast but chose not to undergo Transformation. Several level eight Divine Beasts advanced to level nine. Contracting with others in the future meant the chance to advance to Super Divine Beast. With these Divine Beasts, even if he aspired to dominate the Mors Empire, or even the entire Xuanyue Continent, who would dare to utter a word of objection?

As a result of taming the Divine Beasts, Dugu Qianye’s Phantom Power climbed to the next level, becoming a level nine Phantom King.

Meanwhile, Xiaoyin and the other beasts each advanced one level. Xiaoyin became a level three Divine Beast, Liehuo a level two Divine Beast, Qingluan a level nine Divine Beast, and Xiaojiu a level seven Divine Beast. Lan Mei, because the Super Divine Beast required too much strength, did not advance, and Xiaohuo also did not advance, but Dugu Qianye could feel her condition had improved greatly.

Taming the Divine Beasts took an entire day, and including travel time, Dugu Qianye returned to Pu City, the Imperial Capital, on the fifth day. However, on the outskirts of the forest, she encountered an ambush by a group of people.

There were twelve of them in total, all dressed in black and wearing black masks. Among them were seven Phantom Kings and five Phantom Ancestors. The twelve people surrounded Dugu Qianye.

A hoarse voice asked, "Are you Dugu Qianye?"

Dugu Qianye looked around, tsk-tsk, desolate and uninhabited, truly an excellent place for a killing and robbery. She looked at the person who had just spoken and said, "From the way you dress, I can tell what you are up to. If you have already surrounded me here, do you still need to ask if it’s me?"

"Since you know what we’re here for, then give up your head obediently!" another person in black said, brandishing a large saber.

"Do you think you’re Guan Yu just because you have a big saber?" Dugu Qianye retorted, then concentrated Phantom Power in her hands and launched the first attack.

It was obvious who hired these assassins. It seems the Feng Family no longer wished to exist.

Xiaoyin and Liehuo were summoned to fight the opponent’s Phantom Beasts while she executed the Ethereal Step Technique, swiftly weaving through the crowd and leading the attackers’ own blows back onto them while dodging. In no time, they were in a sorry state from their own attacks.

Suddenly, a voice with a magnetic tone came through, "So many against one! Ci Hun, should we lend a hand?"

The attackers stopped and took a few steps back, turning to face the newcomers, and saw a young man in a purple robe and another in an ocean blue robe.
