Chapter 179:

"Borrow the guardian beast?"

The Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch was momentarily stunned, then quickly said, "Of course, I don't mind at all. Wait, borrowing is not appropriate!"

He managed to force a smile. "Since we, the Beast-taming Mountain, have caused Young Friend Su to waste so much time today, it's only fair that we compensate. I'll give this Thunder Lion as a gift to you. Later, I'll have our sect master hand over the beast-taming token for this creature to Young Friend Su."

"Patriarch, there's no need. The beast-taming token is with me," Elder Yun said, handing over a jade plaque.

Su Zhan took the jade plaque and examined it curiously. "I remember that beast-taming techniques don't seem to require any tokens, do they?"

"Young Friend Su, you might not be aware, but if you only want to tame a single demonic beast, you indeed don't need it. However, if you want to allow others to have the chance to control your tamed beasts, this kind of token, which can directly activate the tamed beast runes within the creature's body, can be quite effective."

"I see," Su Zhan said, putting away the jade plaque. After a pause, he asked, "So, can I use this jade plaque to directly call back the Thunder Lion?"

Elder Yun replied, "I'm sorry to inform Young Master Su that it's not possible. The effective range of this Thunder Lion token is only about thirty miles. Beyond this distance, it won't be able to activate the tamed beast runes within the Thunder Lion's body, thus restricting its movements. However, although you can't control it directly, as long as Young Master Su extends your spiritual power to the Thunder Lion's dedicated beast-taming token, you'll be able to sense its approximate position, direction, and the closer it is, the more accurate the sense."

"I see," Su Zhan nodded, then followed the advice and placed the Thunder Lion jade plaque against his forehead, channeling his spiritual power into it. As expected, he immediately sensed the Thunder Lion's location, approximately over a hundred and ten miles away, rapidly closing in. The range of distance was increasing, indicating that the Thunder Lion was sprinting wildly.

Exiting his divine body state, the Great Sun Star Sword transformed into a speck of starlight and merged into his forehead. Su Zhan then held the jade plaque in his hand, and the blue light of his Wind God Boots flickered.

In the next moment, arcs of electricity emerged from his body, converging into a lightning bolt that shot toward the direction the Thunder Lion was fleeing with incredible speed.

"Phew, he's finally gone"

Both the Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch and Elder Yun let out a sigh of relief.

"Patriarch, about today's matter"

"No need to say more!"

The Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch shook his head. "Today's events were entirely of our own making. To be honest, considering Su Zhan's terror, even if he wanted to obliterate our Beast-taming Mountain, I wouldn't have been able to stop him!"

Elder Yun hesitated, "But if news of this incident spreads, our Beast-taming Mountain's reputation within a radius of tens of thousands of miles"

"Reputation?"

The Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch sneered, "What's the point of a damn reputation when we're dead? Remember, this person is not someone we can provoke. We can only bear all the consequences! Otherwise, there's only one path: death!"Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

"I understand." Elder Yun's heart trembled, and he respectfully bowed.

"I"

The disciples of Beast-taming Mountain exchanged a few words, their faces pale, and then left in a state of lingering fear.

Sole Sword Sect.

Main Peak Plaza.

Chu Xuanyi, Zhang Ling, and Nie Yuan were present.

"Young Master Chu, why hasn't Su Brother returned yet? Could something have happened to him?" Zhang Ling nervously twiddled her clothes and expressed her concern. "I heard there's a Saint at Beast-taming Mountain!"

"A Saint" Chu Xuanyi shook his head. "Rest assured, the Saint from Beast-taming Mountain wouldn't pose any harm to Friend Su. However, he was supposed to have gone to settle matters with Beast-taming Mountain, right? It should have been just a few words to explain the situation. I'm also a bit puzzled why he hasn't returned yet."

Nie Yuan hesitated and said, "Perhaps, the people from Beast-taming Mountain are preventing Friend Su from leaving, or maybe Hmm? What kind of creature is that? Why do I suddenly feel an incredibly terrifying aura?"

As he spoke, Nie Yuan saw a lightning-fast Thunder Lion rushing toward them from below the main peak. His expression changed.

Chu Xuanyi infused his eyes with saint qi and clearly saw the thunder lion and Su Zhan on its back. His expression immediately turned peculiar.

"That's Friend Su. Elder Nie, there's no need to be nervous."

"It's Friend Su! I told you, who else could control such a fearsome creature!" Nie Yuan visibly relaxed.

"Su Brother is back!" Zhang Ling's eyes brightened, and she stared at Su Zhan with widened eyes.

One minute later.

Su Zhan landed on the Sole Sword Sect's main peak plaza while riding the thunder lion. As soon as he dismounted, Chu Xuanyi and the others approached.

Chu Xuanyi carefully examined the thunder lion and quirked an eyebrow. "Friend Su, weren't you supposed to settle matters at Beast-taming Mountain? Why did you end up riding their guardian beast back?"

Su Zhan chuckled, "You wouldn't believe it if I told you. I initially wanted to borrow this thunder lion, but unexpectedly, the Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch insisted on giving it to me!"

"In addition, he also gifted me a top-grade king-tier spirit beast ring! The Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch is truly a magnanimous person!"
