Upon hearing Zhong Bei's words, Lu Yuan's expression changed slightly, and he waved to the four little ones who were about to launch an attack.
Then.
He frowned and stared intently into Zhong Bei's eyes.
"How did you know I was looking for Li Liuxin? Where is she now?"
When Zhong Bei saw that Lu Yuan had actually stopped attacking, he knew that he had made the right bet. Instead of answering Lu Yuan's question, he offered his own guess.
"You are the child born to Li Liuxin on the Ling'an Continent, aren't you?"
Lu Yuan remained silent and did not answer, but Zhong Bei had already gotten the answer from his reaction.
"really!"
Zhong Bei suddenly realized.
"Only those with bloodlines outside the family can contract multiple beasts at the same time. I should have guessed it when I saw that you could contract four beasts at the same time!"
For over a century, only those with the bloodline of those who have left their homeland have been able to contract multiple beasts at the same time. However, Lu Yuan, who is in Ling'an Continent, is able to contract multiple beasts as well, which is obviously illogical.
"Not only can you contract four beasts at the same time, but you can even fight beyond your level. As a mere Heavenly Evolution level beast tamer, you are not afraid at all when facing an Illusion God level opponent, and you can even gain the upper hand in the battle. It seems that the secrets you are hiding are far more than just your bloodline!"
Zhong Bei analyzed the situation clearly, and almost figured out Lu Yuan's background.
However, he was blinded by hatred at the time and quickly put this speculation aside, focusing only on seeking revenge against Lu Yuan.
Until now.
He then realized how terribly wrong he had been!
“There’s no point in saying all this now.” Lu Yuan squinted at Zhong Bei, his eyes filled with a dangerous glint. “All I want to know right now is Li Liuxin’s whereabouts.”
Lu Yuan had no desire to waste words with Zhong Bei.
If Zhong Bei hadn't suddenly mentioned Li Liuxin's name, he might already be a corpse.
Zhong Bei also clearly understood that the reason Lu Yuan stopped was because he wanted to find out Li Liuxin's whereabouts from him.
He tried to stall for time, hoping Jiang Ye would return with his help, but when he met Lu Yuan's dangerous, murderous gaze, he couldn't help but swallow hard.
"Li Liuxin was taken back to Lijia some time ago and is probably being held in Lijia's dungeon now."
Zhong Bei dared not delay any longer and spoke slowly and deliberately what he knew.
Upon hearing Zhong Bei's answer, Lu Yuan's expression changed from its previous indifferent state.
"You're saying Li Liuxin has been captured?!"
Seeing Lu Yuan's changing expression, Zhong Bei had an indescribable feeling, but in the end he just lowered his head and replied in a muffled voice.
“That’s right. He was just captured by the Li family not long ago. I overheard it by chance when I was talking to the elders of the Li family. It seems that they want to get something from Li Liuxin.”
Upon hearing this...
Lu Yuan frowned deeply.
What will we gain?
If things are really as Zhong Bei said, and Li Jia wanted to get something from Li Liuxin, then it would make sense why Li Jia had been chasing Li Liuxin for twenty years.
But.
What exactly does Li Liuxin possess that has kept the entire Li family hunting him down for so long?
Just as Lu Yuan was deep in thought, Zhong Bei, who was originally covered in wounds and seemed to have no power to fight back, suddenly attacked.
A torrent of wind energy surged from his body as if it were free, and the giant lizard that had fallen to the ground suddenly attacked Lu Yuan, just like a beast making a final counterattack before its death.
"roar--!"
A deafening roar resounded as the gigantic lizard charged forward at incredible speed.
However.
Lu Yuan stood still as if he hadn't noticed anything, and his expression didn't change at all.
Just as the Sky Giant Lizard was about to rush towards Lu Yuan, the Crimson Phosphorus, which was guarding Lu Yuan's side, suddenly grew in size and swept its thick tail through the air, sending the Sky Giant Lizard flying!
Looking at Lu Yuan, who seemed to have anticipated all of this, Zhong Bei stared wide-eyed in horror.
"You...you..."
Lu Yuan smiled and gave Zhong Bei a tender look.
"Do you think I'm stupid? You don't actually believe your nonsense and get caught up in your confusion, letting you take advantage of me, do you?!"
Zhong Bei's face turned deathly pale as his thoughts were instantly exposed.
Regardless of the current situation or his pride, Zhong Bei couldn't just stall for time and wait for Jiang Ye to come and rescue him with the Jiang family's helpers.
Therefore, he thought of using the matter of Li Liuxin to disturb Lu Yuan's mind, make him reveal a flaw, and then seize the opportunity to give Lu Yuan a fatal blow!
But he didn't expect that Lu Yuan had already seen through his plan.
"Time to hit the road!"
Lu Yuan raised his knife and brought it down. A cold light flashed, and Zhong Bei's head fell off. It rolled a few times on the ground before finally stopping next to the corpse of the giant lizard.
Even at this moment, Zhong Bei's eyes were still wide open, clearly still reeling from the shock until his death.
Lu Yuan slowly walked to the giant lizard in the air, inserted the Thousand-Patterned Blade into its corpse and stirred it a couple of times, then picked out a spiritual pill that emitted a faint milky white halo.
"As expected of a divine-level beast-taming elixir, its radiance and color are far more intense than those of a divine-level elixir."
After glancing at the elixir in his hand, Lu Yuan tossed it to Chi Lin.
"Red phosphorus, swallow it!"
All four little ones are stuck at the tenth level of the Illusionary God realm. If they want to continue to improve, they need to accumulate a lot of spiritual power.
Although this elixir is of the wind attribute, which does not match the attributes of the four little ones, it is still a divine-level beast tamer, and swallowing this elixir will at least increase their spiritual power.
As Lu Yuan had predicted, things turned out exactly as he had expected.
After Red Phosphorus devoured the elixir of the Sky Giant Lizard, its spiritual power surged instantly, showing signs of breaking through to the god level.
Upon seeing this.
Lu Yuan quickly retrieved it into his beast-taming space.
To break through from the Illusion God level to the God level, one must undergo a painful transformation that will damage both the body and the mind. The Beast Taming Space contains the life force emanating from the ancient tree, which can help Chi Lin alleviate this damage to the greatest extent.
Furthermore, he was unsure what kind of commotion breaking through to the god level would cause. If it attracted other demonic beasts to attack him like it did during the Nirvana Tribulation, that would be disastrous!
After all, Jiang Ye could return with the Jiang family at any time.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan stopped staying where he was and immediately turned around and ran towards the interior of Chunhai City.
at the same time.
Having just escaped the Jiang family and rushed back to the pet shop, Li Xingchi frowned as he looked at the empty store.
"Damn the Jiang family!"
