Chapter 712 Begining Of The Ascending Mission (1)



"Huh? Temple Master has come?"

Leo frowned when he heard the servant's words and asked the servant to leave saying that he would come in five minutes.

"Yes, young master."

Even though Leo only awakened a low-level talent, he still didn't dare to look down or disrespect Leo as he respectfully bowed and left the courtyard.

'Why will he come to the Stormrider Family at this hour of the day? Is it related to the death of the Gatekeeper?'

Leo's head was filled with many thoughts as he became a little anxious.

Even though he was a Diamond Grade Beast Tamer, going against a Temple Master was not something he could do yet.

'Wait a second.'

Leo hurriedly shook his head, 'How could the Beast Tamer God's Temple know that I killed them? Even if they know, why would the Temple Master come personally for such a small matter?'

As far as Leo knows, the gatekeepers of the Beast Sanctuary are at the bottom level of the temple whereas a Temple Master was the leader of the entire Temple.

'Maybe I am thinking too much about it. Uncle Grey might be thinking of introducing me to the Temple Master.'

Soon, Leo pushed aside the negative thoughts in his mind and thought of the positive side. After changing his clothes, Leo left his courtyard and walked towards the Main Family Hall.

'Wait a moment…how could I forget about it?'

Suddenly, Leo remembered something and became anxious again, 'There are life stones that could tell whether someone was alive or dead.'

He knew about the life stones because his mother was holding onto his father's life stone and explained to Leo about its use.

'Even if the old man has a Life Stone, it could not show the killer, right? It is only used to check whether the person who went on a mission or into the wilderness was alive or dead.'

'Hufff'

Seeing that his head was getting heated again, Leo took a deep breath before coming to a conclusion, 'So be it. If the worst comes to worst, then I will use the trump card to kill the Temple Master.'

Previously Leo had gained a trump card from [Heaven's Voice] while evolving the beasts back to back in the Beast Sanctuary.

Initially, he planned to use it against the Crimson Blood Dragon King to get the Third System Fragment; however, he didn't get a chance to use it and it was still lying in his storage bracelet.

Hence, if things go south, Leo decides to use that trump card to kill the Temple Master.

Without the Temple Master, the Beast Tamer God's Temple in the Storm City would become a headless chicken which falls to the ground on its own after some panic.

'It's decided. I hope the Temple Master can live tonight.'

Even though Leo was confident in killing the Temple Master with his trump card, he didn't want to do it before he had enough strength and a strong army of Diamond Grade Beasts.

It was because there were more than 100 Beast Tamer God's Temples in this world and the moment one of them is destroyed, the remaining temples would hunt the entire Stormrider Family along with the Moonshadow Family.

Although Leo could escape and increase his strength low-key, he didn't want the entire Stormrider Family and the Moonshadow Family to get destroyed because of him.

….

In the Main Family Hall,

"Temple Master Mortis, my nephew Leo only awakened his talent a few days back and do you really believe that he could kill a peak Purple Grade Beast Tamer?"

Mortis was sitting in the Family Head's seat as Uncle Grey was trying his best to explain that Leo was not capable of doing such a feat.

"Let me just see the son of the Mighty Valerian. After that, I will leave your Stormrider Family quietly."

Mortis was calm as he said that he wanted to see Leo before he could leave the Stormrider Family.

"..."

Seeing how adamant the Temple Master Mortis was, Uncle Grey didn't know what to say as he turned his head and looked at the entrance.I think you should take a look at

He knew that the Beast Tamer God's Temple in the Storm City didn't like his brother Valerian for some reason and after that, his brother went missing.

If not for the life stone belonging to Valerian still intact, he would have imagined that the Beast Tamer God's Temple had already killed his brother.

Nevertheless, Uncle Grey felt that the Beast Tamer God's Temple was targeting Leo because he was Valerian's son.

'Damn it…if the worst comes to worst, I could only use the items left behind by the brother to save some time for Leo to escape.'

Also, Valerian had left some protective items and trump cards behind so that Grey could use them to protect the family.

However, Uncle Grey knew that those trump cards were mainly effective on the other families and not on the Beast Tamer God's Temple.

Uncle Grey believed that with Leo's intelligence and ability to extract the Tamer's Essence Orbs and the Beast Essence Orbs with 100 percent certainty, it was only a matter of time before he became a powerful beast tamer.

Hence, Uncle Grey decided to protect Leo at any cost.

"Uncle Grey."

Soon, Leo entered the Main Family Hall and saw the Temple Master Mortis sitting on the main seat before calling Uncle Grey.

"Leo, you have come."

Uncle Grey hurriedly walked towards Leo and introduced him to the Temple Master Mortis, "Temple Master, he is my nephew Leo."

"Leo, he is the Temple Master, greet him."

At the same time, he asked Leo to greet Mortis.

"Hello, Temple Master Mortis, I have heard many things about you….of course, only great things."

Leo greeted with a face full of respect; however, Temple Master Mortis was silently observing Leo.

'Huh? A level 6 Bronze Grade Beast Tamer?'

Mortis was checking out Leo's beast tamer's rank; however, he felt that something was not right as he hurriedly used one of his skills.

[Soul Gaze]

'As I expected, I can't see through his soul just like how I was unable to see through his father's soul.'

With his skill, Mortis could see through the Tamer's Space of any beast tamer; however, Mortis was unable to see anything.

Moreover, he was expecting that so he was not surprised.

'I already found one good reason to kill him already.'

Mortis silently thought in his head as he nodded his head to Leo's greeting and said, "He is still a Bronze Grade Beast Tamer."

Since Leo had only awakened his talent a few days, Mortis could tell that there was no way for Leo to kill the gatekeeper.

Also, even though he could not see through Leo with his skill, Mortis could see the bronze-coloured energy around Leo. So, he nodded his head.

"Leo, you can go back and rest."

Seeing that Mortis agreed with Leo's cultivation being the bronze grade, Uncle Grey hurriedly asked Leo to return to his courtyard.

"Yes, Uncle Grey."

Leo could tell that Uncle Grey was worried about him. So, he turned around to leave.

"Did I give you the permission to send him away?"

However, Temple Master Mortis's voice resounded in the entire hall as temple guardians surrounded Leo and Uncle Grey.
