“Where’s Little Chen?” The people had realized that Ye Chen was not around. The bells had rang for long enough, yet Ye Chen was nowhere to be found. As the elder chief, that was a big no-no. Ye Changxuan frowned and ordered the men, “Go look for the elder chief!”

A bunch of rank six youths hurried over to Ye Chen’s abode.

“Uncle, it looks like there’s a human with the Scarlet Sky Tiger and the Stormphantom Panther. However, we can’t make out his or her face since they’re far away.”

“A human being?” Ye Changxuan was startled. “Since when did a Scarlet Sky Tiger and a Stormphantom Panther associated themselves with the likes of a human?” After all, both tigers and panthers were carnivores.

Unbelievable. Ye Changxuan and Ye Zhantian hopped up to the wall and stared into the distance. There were a Scarlet Sky Tiger and a Stormphantom Panther. Judging by their physique, they were rank nine. Although they had lived in the mountains for years and fought their fair share of beasts, they were still astonished at the sight of these beasts. They peered harder into the distance. True enough, there was a human being with the tiger and panther!

Ye Changxuan could see better given his higher cultivation. He looked in disbelief and asked, “Is that Little Chen?”

“What? Little Chen? How’s that possible?” Ye Zhantian looked at Ye Changxuan in bewilderment. He looked harder into the distance. The person’s face was difficult to make out but it seemed like it was Little Chen, especially that eye-catching white little dot on his shoulder, which was probably the tanuki.

“It’s Little Chen!” Ye Zhantian rubbed his eyes to ensure he was not seeing things. “What’s Little Chen doing with two beasts?” These were two rank nine beast they were talking about. Ye Zhantian could not help feeling distressed. If either of them were to act up, there could be serious consequences.

The closer Ye Chen was to the castle, the more he slowed his pace to prevent startling his people. Noticing the people looking at him, Ye Chen waved his hand in the air to indicate that it was him. However, the bell continued the toll, which made him a little nervous. Could his people not see him at all? Why did they continue the ring the bell?

Even at a distance, Ye Chen could see his people very clearly but his people did not possess a sight as good as his. As much as they see him, it was still a very vague image for them. Meanwhile, the Scarlet Sky Tiger and the Stormphantom Panther remained alert.

It was Little Chen. The people atop the castle looked at one another in disbelief. Why would the elder chief be with two rank nine beasts?

“Send someone down to clarify the matter with Little Chen!” Ye Changxuan scanned the crowd and set his sights on a rank six man. “Ye Ping, you do it.” Ye Changxuan had to remain on the walls to keep an eye out on things, lest so the Scarlet Sky Tiger and Stormphantom Panther invaded the castle ground. At this point, they were already used to defending their homes from the invasion of beasts.

Ye Ping was worried. This was a tiger and a panther they were talking about. What would happen to him if he got too close and the beasts suddenly lash out? Then again, if the elder chief was with them, then there should not be a problem. Ye Ping convinced himself to calm down. Although he was a brave man, he was still a little anxious as he walked out of the castle gates toward Ye Chen’s direction.

Seeing that someone had come out, Ye Chen quickened his pace again.
