"Girl, no need to fear him. I promise he can not touch you after we go back to the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen spoke while rubbing the head of the shadow panther.
The Shadow panther felt slightly reassured after hearing Zhan Chen's words. She freed herself from Zhan Chen's embrace and looked towards Ying Chao who had come along with Zhan Chen.
Ying Chao became surprised after looking at the intelligent eyes of the shadow panther. A doubt appeared in his mind as he looked towards Zhan Chen.
"Zhan Chen, where is her parents? A noble beast like her should not roam unguarded", Ying Chao looked towards Zhan Chen with an apprehensive look on his face. He was fully aware about the heritage of the noble beasts. So, he was wary of any formidable beast expert by the side of the shadow panther.
"Senior, no need to worry. Her parents seem to have disappeared since she was very small", Zhan Chen spoke. Ying Chao was still feeling apprehensive but his worries lessened after he heard Zhan Chen's words.
"In that case, let's hurry up. It will be problematic if her identity is founded by human experts", Ying Chao spoke. Zhan Chen lokked towards the shadow panther after hearing the words of Ying Chao.
"Girl, let's leave this place. You will be safe after I bring you to the Xuantian sect", Zhan Chen spoke.
The shadow panther raised her paw like a human after hearing Zhan Chen's words. Zhan Chen felt amused after seeing her almost human like behaviour. He understood that she was telling him to wait.
"Growl", the shadow panther growl suddenly after requesting Zhan Chen to wait for her. She scanned the surrounding with her eyes before letting out another growl.
Zhan Chen was connected with her through their soul links. So, he could understand that she was calling somebody. It took only few moments before the doubt in his mind cleared Another three magical beasts shown up who were the pets of Li Shu, Li Yan and Kai Min.
The shadow panther looked towards Zhan Chen after other three beasts shown up themselves. Zhan Chen found out that she had got attached to other three beasts during his absence.
'In general they should be your food, yet you befriended them. It goes to show how far your intelligence has grown despite your cultivation is still at the fourth tier', Zhan Chen praised the shadow panther inside his mind.

A group of flying ships appeared in the sky of Luan province all of a sudden. Experts were alarmed because they had never seen such exquisite looking flying vessels in their entire life.
Few emperors tried to see the cultivators inside the flying ships but their attempts resulted in failures because the flying ships were immune to their soul consciousness. They faced some sort of barriers which resisted their soul consciousness.
The flying ships flew around the Luan province for a while but they finally gathered at a location which was close to the Shen clan estate.
The Shen clan members received the news of flying ships from their contacts. A tense atmosphere surrounded their clan as the flying ships came flying towards their location.
"Clan head, what shall we do?", A mid aged expert looked towards a robust looking old man with an anxious look on his face. Other experts around them were also feeling anxious as they saw the flying treasures closing on their Shen clan sky.
"Be patient. Get ready to active the sect protection formation at any given time", the robust looking old man calmly said. He flew towards the sky when the flying ships approached the boundary of his Shen clan.
The flying ships stopped in the mid air as soon as the clan head of the Shen clan came forward to stop them. The transparent barriers on the flying ships disappeared one by one and finally the Shen clan members could see the appearance of cultivators who were riding the flying ships.
The cultivators in the flying ships were divided into two groups. One group was consisted of only female cultivators while the other group was consisted of both male and female cultivators.
The group consisted of only female cultivators weere clad in slivery armours whereas the group consisted of both male and female cultivators were clad in deep red armours.
All cultivators were holding spears in their hands and there seemed to be no emotion on their faces. One could easily guess them as a trained army after seeing their demeanor.
'Their cultivation!', clan head of Shen clan muttered to himself in surprise after trying to see their cultivation. A drop of sweat appeared on his forehead when a female cultivator in silvery armour stepped forward towards him.
"Greetings, I am Ning Mei Zhen, a trainee of the Moon legion. I am ordered to receive our palace masters who are currently residing in your place", the female cultivator spoke after courteously greeting the clan head of the Shen clan.
"Your palace masters!", the head of the Shen clan asked in confusion. The female cultivator nodded her head firmly as she waited for the clan head's response.
"Please tell me, who are you looking for? Our clan will gladly help you if it is under our control", the clan head of the Shen clan replied. He acted taciturn after guessing the cultivation of all the experts in the flying ships.
"Thanks for your understanding. My Gemini palace will definitely award you if we manage to find our palace masters", the female cultivator spoke. She took out a crystal clear orb which was glowing brightly at the very moment.
"Please follow me. This orb will guide us to our palace masters", the female cultivator spoke.
"Wait, I am also coming", a male cultivator clad in red armour spoke. He stepped forward and appeared near the female cultivator in the slivery armour.
"Gao Qiang, it is no place for you to act according to your wish. This matter is given to our Moon palace to handle", the female cultivator looked coldly towards the male cultivator clad in red armour.
"Ning Mei Zhen, I am not interfering in your work. I am here to ensure the safety of our palace masters", the male cultivator spoke.
Ning Mei Zhen stared at him coldly before flying towards the interior of the Shen clan. An expert of the Shen clan wanted to say something but he was stopped by another expert from his clan.
"Brother Quon, why did you stop me?", the cultivator asked with a baffled expression on his face. He kept his voice low. So that, he wouldn't alert the experts who had come riding the flying ships.
