Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 51 - : Ambushed Midway

Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Ambushed Midway

The azure sky was filled with slowly drifting white clouds that constantly changed shape under the blowing of the Nine Heavens Gang Wind.

A blue Jiao Dragon dragged a massive tower ship that was hundreds of meters in length, slicing right through the middle of a cloud, splitting it in two.

Qin Feng stood at the railing of the ship’s bow, gazing far into the horizon. He watched the sea of clouds surge and overlooked the rivers and mountains below, his mood greatly uplifted.

Despite the fierce Gang Wind high in the Void, a protective shield had risen around the tower ship, so he did not feel the slightest chill while standing on the deck; instead, the setting sun’s rays made it feel exceptionally warm.

Such high altitudes were not usually flown by Foundation Establishment Cultivators either.

The higher one flew, the more intense the Void Gang Wind became. Flying against the wind not only limited speed but also required consuming a substantial amount of True Yuan to withstand the wind’s assault.

Although Foundation Establishment Cultivators could fly using Spiritual Artifacts, they generally did so below the clouds, rarely above them.

Only those who had achieved the Golden Core, significantly enhancing their controlling power over nature’s spiritual energy, could fly freely into the high skies without fear of the fierce Gang Wind of the Void.

Thus, such heights were not places for low-level cultivators. Qin Feng, being able to enjoy sights unseen by ordinary cultivators, was naturally in a pleasant mood.

If not for those few annoying people nearby, it would have been even better!

He turned and glanced back at Zhao Jinglei and the others, feeling disheartened.

Did these guys not need to cultivate? How did they always end up near him?

He didn’t like Zhao Jinglei.

In the previous several days, as the Jiao Dragon dragged the tower ship across the twenty-eight counties of Chu Kingdom, numerous disciples, ranging from dozens to hundreds, were picked up from each Commandery.

Among them, some from the Commanderies were quite talented, managing to gather the youths of their areas together, forming small factions.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Jinglei grew envious, so he gathered about dozens of individuals from Tieling County, spoke a few brazen words, essentially suggesting that they should rally around him once they joined the Sect.

In essence, his goal was to enlist these people under his command to wield power as his underlings.

Qin Feng could have ignored such an arrogant second-generation, but what he didn’t expect was that this guy started to set his sights on Qin Xi.

Knowing the nature of such noble heirs, Qin Feng had heard of Zhao Jinglei’s reputation in the market, a man accustomed to being a playboy in the Commandery. He was just casually flirting with Qin Xi now, not caring whether it would lead to anything serious, and wouldn’t take it to heart afterward.

Although annoyed, Qin Feng did not confront him openly since the other’s family was much more powerful than his.

If he couldn’t afford to offend him, then it was best to keep distance, and once he entered the Sect, there would be no need to bother about this person.

Disciples of the Outer Gate of the Beast Taming Sect were scattered everywhere. As long as they weren’t assigned to the same peak, it was unlikely for the two to cross paths again.

“Junior Sister Jingxin.”

Just as Qin Feng was contemplating keeping his distance from Zhao Jinglei, he suddenly heard several respectful words coming from behind.

Looking back, there was a young girl in white descending the stairs, heading toward the deck.

This girl, appearing around fourteen or fifteen years old, did not possess a high level of cultivation; around the fifth or sixth stage of Qi Refinement at most. Yet everywhere she went, disciples of all ages and cultivation levels respectfully greeted her.

Even several individuals, who considered their family backgrounds extraordinary, including Zhao Jinglei, went up to enthusiastically offer their services.

In fact, the girl’s appearance was not strikingly beautiful, but she exuded an aura of spirituality, warmth, and peace, making everyone around her feel at ease.

Even those noble heirs who approached her with ulterior motives found their malintent dissipate as they got closer, replaced by a sense of shame deep within their hearts.

Because of the peaceful aura she emitted, even the more acerbic female disciples rarely spoke ill of her.

Qin Feng knew this girl; her name was Lin Jingxin.

Although she rarely showed herself, staying mostly in her room on the fourth floor with the character ‘A’ for cultivation, her few outings inevitably made her widely recognized.

It was said she was from Fengyang County, separated from Qin Feng’s hometown, Kun City, by just one mountain range.

However, Qin Feng had no intention of greeting her, and even actively moved a few dozen feet away to avoid the group of noble heirs around Lin Jingxin when he noticed she was also walking towards the bow.

Lin Jingxin glanced at Qin Feng, who had deliberately avoided her, and then at the noble heirs beside her, unable to suppress a slight frown.

She was of a mild temperament, rarely getting angry and capable of maintaining a calm and gentle heart towards people and all living beings.

But her spirit was too pure, allowing her to easily sense whether others’ intentions towards her were good or evil, sincere or ill-willed.

Although other youths also admired her, they dared not show it openly, while those noble heirs nearby were full of vile intentions, which irritated her.

Regrettably, they lacked the sense to keep their distance, sticking to her like a plaster every time she wanted to get some fresh air, much to her annoyance.

If only these noble heirs could keep their distance like the young man not far away, allowing her some peace and quiet.

Meanwhile, the youth who had kept his distance had turned his attention to the Jiao Dragon pulling the tower ship.

This Jiao Dragon had a massive body, each scale the size of a palm and a single horn atop its head; its robust legs were armed with four sharp claws.

He had witnessed the sharpness of the Jiao Dragon’s claws back in Tieling County—just a casual landing could break the bluestone slabs on the ground, not to mention the fearsome damage it could inflict on a person.

Qin Feng remembered his father once told him that the Long Family, the leader among the nine affiliated families of the Sect, cultivated Jiao Dragons as their main Lifebound Spiritual Beasts.

He felt a twinge of envy—no wonder the Long Family had grown so formidable. Any Jiao Dragon could become a powerful force when matured, obviously beyond the reach of average disciples.

It was only due to the difficulty in breeding Jiao Dragons that the Long Family could not ensure that every generation received a young Jiao Dragon as a Lifebound Spiritual Beast, otherwise, if every family member possessed one, their family’s strength would be overwhelmingly terrifying.

As he was engrossed in his thoughts, suddenly, a deafening roar from the Jiao Dragon shook Qin Feng and those around him on the bow, causing their blood to surge.

The many young disciples on the deck were alarmed, unsure what had enraged the dragon.

However, before their gaze could fully settle on the Jiao Dragon, a sudden pitch-black light burst upward with a loud crash, breaking through the tower ship’s protective shield and even leaving a deep gash across the sturdy body of the ship.
