“What’s ten wasted years anyway? You’ll have plenty of time to cultivate in the future. Don’t feel too down in the dumps.” Kunpeng patronized.

He snapped his fingers and the new and improved Thunder Ring returned to Zhuo Fan.

Sighing, Zhuo Fan put it on and his eyes popped out, “T-t-this is ten billion sacred spirit stones…”

“Ha-ha-ha, this is the gift I was talking about. What, you thought it’d only be some spiritual beast wings?” Kunpeng spoke with pride, “I mean, I am an ancient powerhouse that roamed the continent after all. This is nothing. With that old coot Nine Serenities’ bag of fancy arrays and tricks, you’d stumble upon some monsters at some point and with my little help you can now survive them. Just work hard in helping me. That’s all the compensation I want.”

[Upstart!]

Zhuo Fan clicked his tongue, seeing the motherlode sparkling in his ring. The sparse spiritual treasures and ingredients gave such a poor feeling besides the billions of sacred spirit stones.

[It’s more than what the Sacred Domain’s heads of sacred clans can come up with.]

Arrays demanded spirit stone and above the 12th grade arrays, there were six more, the sacred arrays. Those worked only with sacred spirit stones.

But sacred spirit stone mines only existed in the Sacred Domain, in the hands of the clans there, not to mention their low number. Yet Kunpeng smashed him with so many zeros with a flick.

[That’s a sacred beasts’ boss for you. Everything he does, he does it in style!]

Zhuo Fan put the ring on with a shiver. He was so moved he could cry. Kunpeng nodded.

[Now that’s called glossing over the defects to take advantage of someone. I gave you a fortune so you better do your own part and more!]

Zhuo Fan took a deep breath and cupped his hands, “Senior, I will see this through, come what may. I will find the other danger zones and save seniors from impending doom.”

“Very good.” Kunpeng beamed. [I’ve got this slick to change his mind.]

“If there’s nothing else, start right away. Young Sanzi will stay with me as I pour my all in teaching him. He’s been out there for three hundred years without a guide, unable to make use of his sacred beast innate strength. What a shame.” Kunpeng spoke.

The Three-headed Crow landed, obviously intending to give Zhuo Fan a lift outta here.

Zhuo Fan nodded, put Qiao’er in the ring and patted Gu Santong’s head before hopping on the bird’s back.

Gu Santong was downcast, pleading with Kunpeng, “I want to send dad off!”

Kunpeng nodded.

Gu Santong perked up and jumped on the Three-headed Crow as well.

The Three-headed Crow flapped away, taking them outside Allbeast Mountain Range. Kunpeng watched them vanish in the distance with a glint in his eyes.

“Ha-ha-ha, who would’ve imagined I’d run into Thunder Phoenix’s successor? Although a mere chick and soft, but very much capable of becoming a sacred beast!”

Kunpeng’s smile twisted, “Now that I think about it, it might not be long before the five sacred beasts will reassemble. That will be the day, Heavenly Emperor, the day we will settle our old score!”

Kunpeng laughed and entered the pitch-black cave.

In under an hour, the two arrived at the same spot they left from. Zhuo Fan grabbed Gu Santong as they jumped off. He glanced wearily at the Three-headed Crow, then transmitted, “Young Sanzi, listen and don’t talk. Alright? “

Gu Santong gave him an odd look but nodded.

“Don’t take everything Kunpeng said as true. You need to keep your guard up. As he is the head of the five sacred beasts and you are the son of one, training by his side will be the best scenario for you. But he has a hidden agenda. Just now he nitpicked on the trivial instead of focusing on the bigger things. Not once did he mention his beef with the Heavenly Emperor. This only proves that there must be more to it than it looks. You have to be careful. “

Zhuo Fan put on a heavy expression making Gu Santong confused.

If Kunpeng wanted to harm him, he would be like a fish waiting to be gutted.

Zhuo Fan saw right through him, responding with a reassuring look, “You will be safe staying with him for now. He wants me to do something and even if his intentions are bad, he won’t act on them anytime soon. From our talk, I realized that he has a fatal weakness. He knew something happened to Qilin three centuries ago yet he didn’t leave the mountain to look for you.

“Besides, we’ve been through one danger zone already. The threat is there, but we only pushed through with luck. While Kunpeng has the power to break the zone and rescue his friends. Why is it that so many years have passed yet not once has he tried to? It goes to show that he can only hide in the Allbeast Mountain Range. Taking one step outside will spell disaster for him. If you notice anything out of place, anything at all, young Sanzi, you run like hell out of the Allbeast Mountain Range!”

Kunpeng would’ve spat blood in anger if he were here and cursed him as [Ingrate!]
