Chapter 214 Unable to Tell the Truth
Xia Bing, Dugu Chuan, and the others were gathered together, their expressions not looking very good.
More than thirty people from the six families that had entered the Holy Land had been crippled by Zhou Wen. This was only thanks to some peopleâs Primordial Energy sea not being located at the lower dantian; otherwise, there would have been even more.
âZhou Wen is another An Tianzuo. If we were to let him leave the Holy Land, the reputation of our six families will be destroyed.â Johnâs face was pale, but he was flushed red from agitation.
âSo what if you donât let him leave? Which one of you has the means to restrain his Companion Beast?â Xia Bing said coldly.
âIâm not afraid of that kind of flame, but Iâm no match for Zhou Wen alone. This fellowâs Companion Beast is just too powerful. The An family has been in charge of the Primordial Gold mine for so many years that they are filthy rich. In terms of wealth, they arenât much inferior to our six families put together. From the looks of it, they went all out this time to smack us in the face,â Dugu Chuan said with a sigh. He imagined that Zhou Wen was a result of the An familyâs arrangements.
âIf I had known this would happen, I would have made more preparations. In terms of Companion Beasts, our family wonât lose to them in terms of quantity. Itâs not impossible for us to incubate a few Epic Companion Beasts. At most, we would have to pay a tiny price.â Pros was feeling both angry and hateful.
His Primordial Energy sea was not in his lower dantian, so he wasnât crippled. However, he didnât feel good after being stabbed in his abdomen.
âWhatâs the point of all this hindsight? If I had known, I wouldâve cried like a woman and thrown a tantrum. I wouldâve taken the Mythical Companion Egg from my aunt and wouldnât have allowed Zhou Wen to be so arrogant,â said Dugu Chuan gloomily.
Many of the six familiesâ members had special physiques, ones that allowed them to explore certain special dimensional zones. If they had a certain affinity, they would be able to obtain a Mythical Companion Egg like Zhou Wen in Small Buddha Temple.
A few of them had previously obtained Mythical Companion Eggs. However, they were only at the Mortal stage when they hatched. They needed to be fed for growth. As for whether they could advance to the Mythical stage, it was still an unknown.
After all these years, it was rare for one to actually raise a Companion Egg to the Mythical stage. It was rare even in the six families.
Ever since Dugu Chuan inherited his familyâs Body of Trajectory, he had a chance to incubate a Mythical pet. However, it wasnât safe enough. Therefore, Dugu Chuanâs aunt hadnât given him the Mythical egg she had single-handedly obtained in the dimensional zone.
Pros glanced at Xia Bing and said, âYou have foresight. That calabash should be a Mythical Companion Beast, right?â
âNow isnât the time to talk about this. Letâs think about how to deal with Zhou Wen first,â Xia Bing said indifferently without answering the question.
âWhat else is there? We donât have any powerful Companion Beasts that can fight Zhou Wen. Itâs useless no matter what ideas we come up with. In this Holy Land, only one person from our six families can defeat Zhou Wen,â John said.
âYou mean Lance?â Xia Bing frowned.
âHeâs the only one.â John nodded.
âBut didnât you say earlier that Lance has already rejected the request? With his personality, he wonât do a thing,â Xia Bing said.
âNow, things are different. People from his family have also been crippled by Zhou Wen. Even if Lance doesnât help us, is he going to ignore kinship?â John asked.
Xia Bing and the others looked at each other, realizing that what John said made sense.
âAlthough what you said is true, you know Lanceâs personality too. Heâs very strange and itâs not necessarily possible. Letâs go find Lance first.â As Dugu Chuan spoke, he prepared to get up.
âHold on. Tell Lance that Zhou Wen has two Mythical pets after you find him,â John suddenly said.
Dugu Chuan and company were slightly taken aback. Although Zhou Wenâs Companion Beasts were powerful, they didnât think in the direction of the Mythical Beast. They only believed that Zhou Wen had used some special method to hatch an Epic Companion Egg.
Due to the lack of special physiques, it was impossible for him to obtain a Mythical Companion Egg, much less incubate it. Zhou Wen didnât have the bloodline of the six families, so it was impossible for him to have inherited a special physique. How could he have a Mythical Beast?
Therefore, they believed that Zhou Wenâs Companion Beasts only had high levels and powerful techniques.
âZhou Wenâs bird and fan are Mythical Companion Beasts?â asked Dugu Chuan as he stared at John.
âIs it really that important? As long as it intrigues Lance, no?â John said with a smile.
Dugu Chuan immediately understood and nodded slightly. âAlright then. Those two pets indeed have extraordinary qualities and look like mythical pets.â
When Dugu Chuan took his guys to look for Lance, Zhou Wen and Li Xuan were sitting in front of the Trajectory Holy Templeâs entrance, waiting.
That blind madman had actually charged into the Trajectory Holy Temple again. They wanted to wait for the lunatic to come out before reassessing the situation.
âOld Zhou, do you think that lunaticâs words are reliable? If itâs really as he said, wouldnât the power inside the Trajectory Holy Temple be something that canât be seen?â Li Xuan said casually as he was bored.
âI donât know. Youâll need to enter to know.â Zhou Wen stared at the templeâs door. He was already tempted, but he didnât want to take the risk.
Earlier on, he had searched the surroundings of the Trajectory Holy Temple, but he hadnât found any sign of the tiny palm, preventing him from downloading this place into his phone.
Strange, why donât the dimensional zones in the Holy Land have tiny palm symbols? Zhou Wen was somewhat depressed. If he could download them onto his cell phone, he could enter all the Holy Land without any scruples.
âIf I must say, heâs a lunatic. Heâs definitely spouting nonsense. Think about it. Although the League controls the entire Earth in name, it doesnât dare head into the sea, nor do they dare go out to sea. That lunatic is only the same age as us. Heâs definitely still a student. How can he head out to sea on a ship at such a young age? Therefore, what he said must be illusions he saw in the Trajectory Holy Temple,â Li theorized.
Li Xuanâs words reminded Zhou Wen that going on a cruise was probably something that had happened before the dimensional storms came. After the dimensional storms, even an aircraft carrier wouldnât return once it set off, much less an ordinary cruise ship.
It was impossible for an ordinary person to board a ship to head out into the sea. Just like them, this lunatic was a young man who was participating in the trials. At his age, even if his elders had the ability to go out to sea, they wouldnât dare take him along.
Could it be that the power in the Trajectory Holy Temple is just an illusion? Zhou Wen felt that something was amiss.
The anchor symbol on the lunaticâs arm still bothered him. Moreover, that lunatic had also said that he wanted to use the power of the Trajectory Holy Temple to see what had happened in the past.
From the looks of it, Iâll only know if that lunaticâs words are true after I enter the Trajectory Holy Temple and take a look. As Zhou Wen pondered, the templeâs door slowly opened.
The madman was lying in front of the door with one hand on the sill, motionless. They couldnât tell if he was dead or unconscious.
