But what Zhong Yi said next made Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao’s eyes go wide.
’What?’
’A Mythical Tier Bizarre was discovered in the Lower City District?’
’How could that be possible?!’
Wen Tao and Lin Zhuo exchanged a look. They both knew Zhong Yi wouldn’t make something like this up.
"Xiaoyi, walk us through this carefully. Are you certain this Bizarre is at the Mythical Tier?"
Discovering a Bizarre and discovering a Mythical Tier Bizarre were two entirely different things.
It wasn’t that Wen Tao and Lin Zhuo didn’t believe Zhong Yi, but he was just a Guardian Beast Master who had only recently awakened his Soul Base.
Even if Zhong Yi had just worked a miracle in the First Level Horned Demon Secret Realm, by all rights, a Mortal Beast Tier Guardian Beast Master shouldn’t be able to gauge the power of a Mythical Tier expert.
"I’m certain. My scouting ability is linked to my Beastmaster Talent."
"Last night in the Deceitful Moon Tower, Sister Zhuo already witnessed my Beastmaster Talent."
"This Mythical Tier Bizarre has produced countless pea-sized black crystal spiders. They’re crawling all over the Lower City District, and they’ve even been spotted in the Upper City District."
"I think this Mythical Tier Bizarre is most likely searching for something."
At Zhong Yi’s words, Lin Zhuo immediately contacted her deputy and ordered them to the Lower City District to investigate.
Lin Zhuo remembered something. While she was waiting for Zhong Yi at the entrance to the Horned Demon Secret Realm, the head of the city’s maintenance and construction division had reported an infestation of crystal spiders in the Lower City District.
However, after confirming the spiders posed no threat, the matter was dropped.
’Could it be that this Mythical Tier Bizarre had already arrived in Starlight City back then with a specific goal in mind?’
Before long, Lin Zhuo’s deputy reported back.
Vast numbers of black crystal spiders were lurking throughout the entire Lower City District. There were at least a million of them, if not more.
After receiving the confirmed report, Lin Zhuo’s voice turned cold.
"Starlight City is facing one crisis after another. To think two Mythical Tier Bizarre would show up back-to-back."
"These Bizarre are getting more and more brazen. They have no respect for Starlight City."
"Wen Tao, I think it’s time for the Ghost Suppression Bureau and the Starlight Army to launch a joint operation. We need to wipe out both these Mythical Tier Bizarre and the Evil Blood Sect, which has been causing trouble everywhere, in one fell swoop."
This was the first time Zhong Yi had ever seen Lin Zhuo angry. When she was angry, she seemed like a completely different person.
’These Mythical Tier Bizarre really are too arrogant!’
On the surface, Starlight City only had two Celestial Destiny Seekers, Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao, holding the line. But the city’s true top-tier combat strength was far greater than that.
For instance, Chen Yin, the owner of the Deceitful Moon Tower Zhong Yi visited last night, had sixteen Mythical Tier Bizarre under her command.
And that was just the power wielded by a single Deceit Holder with a Deceitful Moon Badge.
"Zhuo, if these two Mythical Tier Bizarre dare to run wild in Starlight City, we’ll definitely make them pay the price."
"But acting rashly right now would be unwise."
"Xiaoyi is right. The Bizarre controlling millions of black crystal spiders must have come to Starlight City for a reason. It seems to be looking for something."
"Creating so many black crystal spiders at once would take a heavy toll, even on a Mythical Tier Bizarre."
"This spider-creating Bizarre is clearly of the Trickery Element. Its abilities have no inherent connection to that Mythical Tier Bone Element Bizarre."
"The Evil Blood Sect is active near Fallen Star Mountain, and the husk left behind by this Bone Element, Mythical Tier Bizarre was also discovered there."
"This suggests the Bone Element Bizarre is very likely cooperating with the Evil Blood Sect."
Wen Tao paused here before continuing.
"These two Mythical Tier Bizarre must belong to some faction, and it’s highly probable that they’re connected."
"I think we need to figure out what these two Mythical Tier Bizarre are planning. It’s better to wait and see rather than acting immediately."
"The Blood Bone Great Wall outside Starlight City hasn’t been activated for many years."
"Elder Cui is currently in seclusion, but I’ll make a request for him to activate the first barrier of the Blood Bone Great Wall."
"Once the first barrier of the Blood Bone Great Wall is active, Starlight City will be sealed—people can get in, but no one can get out. No matter what these two Mythical Tier Bizarre are plotting, they’ll have no chance to escape."
Lin Zhuo said no more. Wen Tao was right; it was better to ascertain the purpose of the two Mythical Tier Bizarre for coming to Starlight City before making a direct move against them.
’Lin Zhuo didn’t have enough influence to ask Elder Cui to activate the Blood Bone Great Wall herself.’
’But Wen Tao could probably persuade him. He could convince Elder Cui to activate this unique, cooperative-symbiotic Guardian Beast that could be called a National Treasure.’ freewebnovel.cσ๓
Because of Zhong Yi’s report, an operation targeting the two Mythical Tier Bizarre was quietly underway.
As for the Evil Blood Sect, a faction that probably didn’t even have a Mythical Tier Bizarre at its command, they were merely an afterthought in this operation.
"Your Potential Level as a Celestial Destiny Seeker was just reported, Xiaoyi. It will take some time for your Celestial Destiny Points to be allocated."
"I’ll give you a thousand Celestial Destiny Points to use for now. Otherwise, it will hinder your early development."
Lin Zhuo generously handed Zhong Yi a card made of transparent crystal.
The card shimmered with a faint, multicolored luster. On its face, golden threads like those found in Hair Crystal were woven into the number 1,000.
Zhong Yi didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted the card from Lin Zhuo.
He needed Celestial Destiny Points to acquire materials like the Dragon Crystal of a Fairy Flashing Scale Flood Dragon.
Otherwise, he really had no other way to obtain such high-end materials.
The sooner he could cultivate the Dragon-Brewed Immortal Mink, the sooner he could sell the Dragon Root Fruits it brewed to trade for resources.
These 1,000 Celestial Destiny Points were a godsend, solving his most pressing problem.
"Sister Zhuo, thank you so much!"
"Once my Celestial Destiny Points come in, I’ll pay you back."
After a moment of contemplation, Zhong Yi took out the Heart of the Secret Realm he’d acquired in the Horned Demon Secret Realm and offered it to Lin Zhuo.
"Many of the Guardian Beasts you have contracts with are Fire Attribute, right, Sister Zhuo? This Heart of the Secret Realm would be a perfect match for your Soul Base."
When Zhong Yi first obtained this Fire Attribute Secret Realm Heart, he had planned to plant it in his own Soul Base.
This would create an environment within his Soul Base suitable for Fire Attribute Guardian Beasts.
However, Zhong Yi didn’t have a contract with any Fire Attribute Guardian Beasts yet. And even though he planned to use a Soul Taming Seed to contract a Sunlight Thorn later, he wouldn’t raise the Sunlight Thorn in his Soul Base. Instead, he would plant it at his residence.
This would allow the Sunlight Thorn to continuously absorb sunlight and grow quickly.
In another two days, Zhong Yi was planning to take Hong Ji to explore a new First Level Secret Realm.
He intended to find an Ice Attribute Heart of the Secret Realm to create a suitable environment in his Soul Base for the Illusion-tailed Fox he would soon form a contract with.
So, rather than holding onto a Heart of the Secret Realm he had no immediate use for, it was better to give it to Lin Zhuo.
Since he had become a Celestial Destiny Seeker, Lin Zhuo had helped him immensely, and Zhong Yi owed her many favors.
If not for her, he would never have been able to obtain Guardian Beasts like the Illusion-tailed Fox and the Soul-Catching Gu Mother.
Nor would he have been able to earn a favor from a Deceit Holder like Chen Yin, who possessed a Deceitful Moon Badge.
Zhong Yi had accepted Lin Zhuo’s help, and he intended to repay her in his own way.
When they saw Zhong Yi offer them the Heart of the Secret Realm, both Lin Zhuo and Wen Tao were stunned.
A Heart of the Secret Realm could only be obtained when the Secret Realm Exploration Level reached one hundred percent.
Wen Tao had once been fortunate enough to obtain a Water Attribute Heart of the Secret Realm, which he used to augment his Soul Base.
But to this day, Lin Zhuo had never had the chance to acquire a Fire Attribute one.
