Chapter 86: Chapter 86: Upsetting Someone’s Lair (2)_1

"Damn, brother, are you still a Beast Tamer?!" Dan Jingtian couldn’t help but exclaim. Even though he knew Dugu Qianye was a woman, he still habitually called her brother.

Dugu Qianye nodded.

He Yan and Ye Canglan exchanged glances. Their family’s inability to establish good relations with the Mo Family was definitely a loss for the family.

That day, Dugu Qianye was learning Phantom Techniques in the Refining Demon Pot when she suddenly received a call for help from Xiaoyin. She hurriedly summoned Qingluan and flew toward Xiaoyin’s location.

From a distance, she saw that the group Xiaoyin led was surrounded by a pack of Black Panthers, roughly forty to fifty, all of them Advanced Level Holy Beasts. Many people were seriously injured, and Xiaoyin was fighting a Divine Beast Black Panther.

Qingluan released its oppressive aura, and all the Phantom Beasts were suppressed to the ground. The Divine Beast’s movements also became sluggish, and Xiaoyin took the opportunity to severely injure it.

"Master," Xiaoyin limped to Dugu Qianye’s side, lowered its head, and said, "I have not completed the task you entrusted to me."

Dugu Qianye fed Xiaoyin some healing medicine and said, "I know you did your best. Now go back and heal." She then put Xiaoyin into the Refining Demon Pot.

"He Yan, how did you all encounter so many Advanced Level Holy Beasts?" Dugu Qianye asked as she fed the crowd Healing Pills.

"We came here and saw two Level 7 Holy Beasts. We wanted to capture them and bring them back. We didn’t expect that there would be so many Black Panthers nearby, which all came over when they heard the commotion," He Yan said.

Dugu Qianye looked at the Panther King lying on the ground, barely alive, a Level 6 Divine Beast. No wonder Xiaoyin couldn’t beat it.

Qingluan withdrew its aura, and the Black Panthers all went to surround their king. Some even had tears in their eyes.

Understanding the situation, Dugu Qianye approached the Panther King. All the Black Panthers braced themselves, ready to resist to the death if she dared to make a move. Dugu Qianye stood outside the encirclement of Black Panthers, looking at the Panther King, and said, "Would you be willing to surrender?"

The Panther King opened its eyes with difficulty and said feebly, "We will not submit to you. We would rather die than become your tools."

"Who said we want to make you our tools?!" Dugu Qianye said, "We want you to be our partners, our comrades in arms."

"Really?!" The Panther King clearly didn’t believe it. Humans were cunning; what they said now might sound nice, but how they would treat them after the contract was still up to the Pledged Master.

"Of course. Don’t believe me? Ask them," Dugu Qianye said.

The others nodded.

"We could totally conquer you, and even if you don’t want to, I could still tame you. I’m asking you now out of respect for you. However, even if you want to resist, it’s useless. You can’t beat us."

The Panther King felt its life force rapidly slipping away, and now it had no power to protect its people anymore, revealing a look of unwillingness in its eyes.

"I can let them form a contract with you, but you can’t turn them into tools," the Panther King said.

"Okay," Dugu Qianye nodded and asked, "What about you?"

"After I die, I can give you my Demon Crystal," the Panther King said.

"Who said you’re going to die?" Dugu Qianye said. "I’m asking if you’re willing to recognize a master."

"I won’t die? But I already feel my life force has been depleted," the Panther King said breathlessly.

"I said you won’t die; not even King Yama can take you away!" Dugu Qianye said, "But only a contract can heal you."

After thinking for a bit, the Panther King said, "I’m only willing to recognize you as my master."

"That’s fine, let your offspring follow them back to the camp first," Dugu Qianye said.

Though the Panther King looked like it was on its deathbed, it still had influence over the other Black Panthers. Seeing the Panther King nod, those Black Panthers obediently followed He Yan and the others back.

Once everyone had left, Dugu Qianye approached the Panther King and placed her hand on its head to begin taming. She could already feel the life force of the Panther King slipping away; if she did not contract with it now, it would truly die.

After the taming was over, the Panther King ranked up to a level 7 Divine Beast.

Dugu Qianye dropped a droplet of blood into the center of its forehead, complex contracting enchantments encircled the two, and the contract was successfully established, the patterns fading into both their foreheads. The Panther King ranked up once more, becoming a level 8 Divine Beast.

Dugu Qianye consented to be enveloped by the Promotion Light, and beneath her feet appeared three moons and three stars, followed by a slowly emerging fourth star.

A 17-year-old, level 4 Phantom Ancestor!

Seeing Dugu Qianye’s level, the Panther King, who had just recovered from the shock of successive promotions, was stunned once more.

When the promotion ended, the Promotion Light vanished, Dugu Qianye felt the surging power within her body and nodded in satisfaction. She looked at the dazed Panther King and said, "Let’s go back. What’s your name?"

"My name is Hei Feng. Master, there are many lower-ranking black panthers in my territory. All the higher-level ones have left, and I’m worried that they will be bullied by the phantom beasts of other clans."

"You have a territory?" Dugu Qianye curiously asked.

"Yes, beast clans like ours generally have our own territories," Hei Feng replied. "My territory is on a mountain top thirty miles away. Because there are many in our clan, we’ve taken over a whole mountain. There are often humans who go there, I’ve heard they find a lot of medicinal plants."

"Let’s go take a look," Dugu Qianye said. Medicinal plants! Even though she had the Refining Demon Pot, such things could never be too numerous.

Dugu Qianye had Hei Feng transform for travel, held him in her arms, and rode Qingluan to the territory Hei Feng mentioned.

Returning to their land, Hei Feng reverted to his normal state. Black panthers that had been hiding, fearing an attack, rushed out exclaiming, "The king has returned."

Dugu Qianye looked at the black panthers, three to four hundred in number, with not very high ranks, some at Primary or Intermediate Holy Beast levels, with even more being Spiritual Beasts.

"King, who is this human?"

"She is my master," Hei Feng said.

"What? The king has contracted with a human?"

"What are we going to do now?"

"The stinking lions from the eastern mountains will surely come to bully us."

The group of black panthers started to clamor loudly.

"King, you can’t ignore us!"

"Master..." Hei Feng looked at Dugu Qianye, troubled.

"Would you like to follow your king?" Dugu Qianye asked.

"Yes," all the beasts answered in unison.

"Then let’s all leave together. I’ll take you to a place where you can live from now on," Dugu Qianye said, then introduced the black panthers into the Refining Demon Pot.

"Master, where is this?" Hei Feng asked in surprise, looking around at the suddenly changed scenery.

"This is inside the Refining Demon Pot, an independent space. From now on, your kinsmen can live here," Dugu Qianye explained.

"Really? Can we live here?" the black panther asked excitedly.
