Chapter 454: The Auspicious Beast King’s Imprint
People always feel the most for their own child.

Ancestor Sui Bian could complain about Yu Zhao himself.

But outsiders were not allowed to say even one bad word.

Ancestor Sui Bian puffed out his chest: “Bring them. Take all those Fortune Beasts with us. I want to see who dares say no.”

Ancestor Sui Bian’s strength had great weight among this group. On top of that, everyone really had to rely on Yu Zhao if they wanted to escape, so they held their breath and did not dare speak.

Yu Zhao smiled at Ancestor Sui Bian in thanks, then said to the Fortune Beasts: “Your mission is complete. You can leave now.”

All the Fortune Beasts turned to look at their leader, the Auspicious Beast King.

Its body was more than twice the size of an ordinary Fortune Beast. Its fur was a deeper shade, and its beast eyes shone with a wise light.

Yu Zhao believed it could understand her.

The Auspicious Beast King seemed to be thinking about Yu Zhao’s offer. Its eyelids drooped halfway, and it stayed completely still.

Behind them, the ground was collapsing downward at a shocking speed.

Blood-soaked earth, broken corpses, and shattered magic treasures all fell into the endless void.

It looked like a giant mouth was quickly devouring this piece of land.

The cultivators felt their scalps go numb. They no longer had the mind to doubt the relationship between Yu Zhao and the Fortune Beasts. They only wanted to urge them to leave faster.

Finally, just when they were about to cry and beg, the Auspicious Beast King stood up.

The other Fortune Beasts rose to their feet with it.

The Auspicious Beast King lightly tapped its four hooves, then suddenly jumped to stand in front of Yu Zhao.

Under everyone’s shocked gaze, it bent its legs and knelt in front of Yu Zhao in an inviting posture.

The pair of sharp horns that could easily pierce a cultivator’s body gleamed in front of Yu Zhao.

Yet Yu Zhao was sure it would not hurt her.

“Ancestor?”

Ancestor Sui Bian was clicking his tongue in amazement. When he heard Yu Zhao call him, he answered, turned his head, and saw Yu Zhao making a respectful inviting gesture. Only then did he realize what she meant, and he quickly waved his hands.

“No, no, no, you go, you go.”

Ancestor Sui Bian did not have guts as big as hers.

Yu Zhao leaned close to the Auspicious Beast King’s ear and whispered something. The Auspicious Beast King let out a low sound, and another sturdy Fortune Beast walked forward and knelt in front of Ancestor Sui Bian.

It was hard to refuse such sincere goodwill.

Ancestor Sui Bian climbed onto the Fortune Beast, his body trembling.

Because he was scared of that pair of sharp horns, he even had to suck in his stomach, and he looked much more stiff and tense.

Only then did Yu Zhao sit on the Auspicious Beast King’s back.

“Lüü-”

The Auspicious Beast King rose, lifted its head toward the sky, and let out a sharp cry. At once, wind seemed to rise under its feet as it rushed toward the Death Rift, followed by the mighty Fortune Beast herd and a group of cultivators with complicated expressions.

They also wanted to try the feeling of racing while riding a Fortune Beast, but the Fortune Beasts completely ignored them. If they came even a little closer, the beasts would immediately kick at them.

They could only run behind the Fortune Beasts with bitter faces.

The only good part was that they no longer had to stare at Yu Zhao and Ancestor Sui Bian as guides. They just had to follow the nearest Fortune Beast.

At first, Ancestor Sui Bian half squinted his eyes, one hand forming a seal, the other pressed on the storage belt at his waist. His whole body was stiff.

Later, as time passed, his body slowly relaxed, and his familiar smile returned to his face.

At this moment, he missed his old friend Old Daoist Hei very much.

[Right now, he was riding on a Fortune Beast! How many people had ever had such an experience? He had! Hahaha!]

On the way, Yu Zhao tried to talk with the Auspicious Beast King.

But no matter what she said, the Auspicious Beast King showed no sign of responding.

Only when she mentioned the scene she had seen in that illusion did a tiny change appear in its expression, but in the end it still did not say anything.

To cultivators, the Death Rift was extremely dangerous, but in front of the Fortune Beasts, it held no threat at all.

They were like Yu Zhao. They could avoid danger ahead of time and perfectly dodge every obstacle.

Yu Zhao also noticed that when they leaped, special spatial ripples appeared around them. These ripples increased the distance they could move, much like a cultivator’s Teleportation Skill.

So after failing to get an answer several times, Yu Zhao focused on the Spatial Ability they used and quietly felt the changes in space.

The Auspicious Beast King had a pair of eyes that could see into people’s hearts.

After it sensed that Yu Zhao seemed to be trying to learn its skill, it generously wrapped the Power of Space around her and led her to personally experience its mysteries.

In Yu Zhao’s vision, space became like thick liquid, mixing and flowing together, forming strange, twisted shapes.

She seemed to turn into a tiny, plain grain of sand, slowly drifting in the long river of space.

She did not know how long had passed before the river water seemed to gain life. It turned into strange lines that joined together, slowly outlining one mysterious pattern after another.

As the patterns formed, a huge power surged over. It rushed straight toward Yu Zhao’s Sea of Consciousness and deeply branded itself there.

Yu Zhao’s body suddenly trembled. When she came back to herself, she found that they had already stopped at the edge of a land fragment.

They had escaped the Death Rift.

“Hahaha, we are out! We are out!”

“We picked up another life. Young Master is amazing!”

“Buddha bless! Heavenly Sovereign bless!”

Amid the cheers, Yu Zhao jumped down from the Auspicious Beast King’s back.

“Are you leaving?”

The Auspicious Beast King nodded.

Then it closed its eyes and lowered its head.

Yu Zhao’s heart stirred. She also closed her eyes and gently touched her forehead to its.

An Antler Imprint quickly formed in her Sea of Consciousness.

“Goodbye.”

Her gentle whisper fell.

The Auspicious Beast King leaped into the air and flew up toward the sky.

The other Fortune Beasts moved their four limbs and turned into small black dots that soon vanished at the horizon.

Ancestor Sui Bian had already jumped down the moment the Fortune Beasts stopped, unable to wait any longer.

Although the ride had felt good, he still felt somewhat afraid. For the first time, he thought that having his feet on solid ground was truly wonderful.

Ancestor Sui Bian was just about to step forward and ask Yu Zhao what had happened when he suddenly felt burning gazes fall on his back.

His heart gave a jolt. He quickly stood in front of Yu Zhao, pointed at the group behind them, and shouted: “What are you trying to do? Are you going to burn the bridge after crossing the river?”

Outwardly, he looked calm, but inside he was filled with regret.

If he had known earlier, he should have had the Fortune Beasts take them away as well.

Now look at this. They were surrounded.

It would not be easy to run even if they wanted to.

Two fists could not beat many hands.

The group standing across from Yu Zhao and Ancestor Sui Bian also had mixed feelings.

They did not know what relationship Yu Zhao had with those exotic beasts.

But Yu Zhao had helped them. That was an undeniable fact.

If they made a move on her now, would that not be repaying kindness with hatred?

“Senior and Fellow Daoist saved my life. This is my Bei Ming Clan Token. If you ever need help from my Bei Ming Clan in the future, please be sure to visit us.”

Bei Ming Yan held two snowflake-shaped tokens, walked forward, and respectfully handed them to Ancestor Sui Bian and Yu Zhao. Her attitude was very sincere.

Dong Fang Yue clenched her fists, then also stepped out. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito: “And I, Dongfang…”

“Dongfang Yu thanks Senior and Fellow Daoist for your help. From now on, the Dongfang Family will treat you both as Honored Guests.”
