“Qianyin!”
Terra Su called out, snapping Gu Qianyin back to reality just in time to catch the two eggs falling from the treetop.
“What were you daydreaming about? If these eggs broke, they would be worthless.”
Terra Su’s tone was calm, but Gu Qianyin felt a wave of guilt wash over her. She couldn’t understand why she had been so distracted by Terra Su earlier. She silently vowed never to let her mind wander again when they were out together.
“Alright, let’s hurry and get out of here.”
Terra Su said, urging Gu Qianyin as they sped towards the edge of the Skywind Mountains.
“Terra Su, aren’t you worried that the Thunder Beast will track us down by the scent of the eggs?” Gu Qianyin asked along the way.
“The Thunder Beast is busy chasing that old man from the Sun Family. It should be heavily injured and will need time to heal. It won’t have the energy to come after us.”
Terra Su smiled, “By the time it recovers, these eggs will be long gone.”
An hour later, Terra Su and Gu Qianyin finally exited the Skywind Mountains.
They immediately boarded a carriage and headed back to Clear River City.
At the same time.
Just as Terra Su had predicted, the Thunder Beast, after finally killing Sun Tieshan, dragged its heavily injured body back to the giant tree.
The Thunder Beast, a half-step Transforming Realm Monster Beast, had no trouble dealing with Sun Tieshan, who was at the tenth level of the Condensing Origin Realm and had lost an arm.
However, Sun Tieshan, unwilling to die without a fight, chose to self-destruct his True Essence, severely injuring the Thunder Beast.
Upon reaching the giant tree, the Thunder Beast was both shocked and furious to find the tree charred and its trunk split in two.
The two eggs that had been in the treetop were nowhere to be found!
Damn humans!
They had stolen its precious eggs!
The Thunder Beast roared in anger, its furious cries echoing throughout the Skywind Mountains.
If it weren’t for its severe injuries, it would have immediately tracked the scent of the eggs, reclaimed them, and torn those despicable humans to pieces.
But in its current state, it had no strength left to pursue them. Chasing them now would only cost it its life.
For now, the Thunder Beast had to suppress its rage and return to its cave to heal. The matter of retrieving the eggs would have to wait.
However, the Thunder Beast harbored a deep grudge against the Sun Family of Anyang City.
In its eyes, this was undoubtedly a scheme by the Sun Family.
Its precious eggs had definitely been stolen by the Sun Family.
…
Anyang City.
In a grand mansion.
“What?”
“Hall Master Three and Hall Master Four were killed by the Thunder Beast?”
The Sun Family’s high-ranking members were shocked. This huge news was hard for them to digest.
“What happened? The Thunder Beast has occupied that valley for many years without any conflict with us. Why did it suddenly go berserk and kill Hall Master Three and Hall Master Four?”
Dressed in white, looking scholarly and refined, Hall Master Two frowned as he spoke.
“Yes, there must be a reason behind this,” another high-ranking member of the Sun Family said suspiciously.
“Reporting to Hall Master Two, it all started when the guards in the training area somehow got into a conflict with a young man.”
“Later, the young man killed Sun Zhen, a direct descendant, and even two Elders at the eighth level of the Condensing Origin Realm.”
“Hall Master Four went after him, but the young man used a trick to steal the Thunder Beast’s eggs and pretended to offer them as an apology gift to Hall Master Four. This enraged the Thunder Beast, leading to the deaths of Hall Master Three and Hall Master Four.”
An Elder who had escaped from the Skywind Mountains reported everything in detail.
The Sun Family’s high-ranking members listened with furrowed brows, finding it hard to believe.
“A young man killing Sun Zhen is one thing, but killing two Elders at the eighth level of the Condensing Origin Realm? Where did this monstrous youth come from?”
“And he even stole the Thunder Beast’s eggs to frame Hall Master Four? How could a young man have the guts to steal eggs from the Thunder Beast’s nest?”
The Sun Family’s high-ranking members were in an uproar. If they hadn’t heard it from their own people, they wouldn’t have believed it.
“Do we know anything about this young man’s background?” Hall Master Two asked, frowning.
“Reporting to Hall Master Two, we only know his name is Terra Su. We have no other information.”
“Terra Su?”
Hall Master Two repeated the name, his eyes flashing coldly.
“Send out my orders. Mobilize everyone in the family to track down this Terra Su at all costs. If found, kill him on the spot!”
“Daring to scheme against the Sun Family is an unforgivable crime. Even if he hides in the heavens or the earth, we must find him!”
Hall Master Two’s decision set the tone for the Sun Family’s stance against Terra Su.
“Hall Master Two is right. An ant we’ve never heard of dares to offend the Sun Family of Anyang City? This is courting death! We must settle this score with him!”
“Exactly, this is a great humiliation for the Sun Family. We must reclaim our honor, or how can we continue to stand in Anyang City?”
The high-ranking members were incensed. The Sun Family had never suffered such a huge setback since establishing themselves in Anyang City. Losing two Hall Masters at once was a grievous blow. They had to settle this score with the culprit, or their reputation in Anyang City would be ruined.
“Hall Master Two, what about the Thunder Beast?” an Elder asked.
Mentioning the Thunder Beast, Hall Master Two couldn’t help but show a trace of anger. “Hmph, that beast must think too highly of itself, not knowing the true strength of our Sun Family. Once the Patriarch comes out of seclusion, I will report this matter to him and request that he personally go to the Skywind Mountains to slay that beast.”
Hearing this, the high-ranking members of the Sun Family gasped. It seemed Hall Master Two was truly enraged and intended to have the Patriarch deal with the Thunder Beast.
The Sun Family’s Patriarch was their pillar, a Transforming Realm expert!
Once he took action, even a formidable half-step Transforming Realm Monster Beast would meet its end.
Not to mention, the young man named Terra Su, who had offended the Sun Family, was as good as dead for crossing a Transforming Realm expert.
…
Clear River City was as lively as ever at night.
Terra Su and Gu Qianyin entered the city gates without attracting any attention and quietly returned to South Jiang Manor.
“Terra Su, shouldn’t we inform Lady Xu that we’re back?” Gu Qianyin asked.
“At this hour, my aunt should be asleep. Let’s not disturb her.”
Terra Su said as he began to inventory their gains from the Skywind Mountains.
They had two eggs and ten Spirit Stones in total.
