CHAPTER 652: CHAPTER 144: FATHER AND MOTHER

The outside world only knew that the Demon Beast broke through in the Arena, but few knew that it was sent to the Arena shortly after giving birth, having delivered a Demon Beast Cub less than a month old.

After the Demon Beast escaped, that Demon Beast Cub was raised in the Arena.

Tianyidong came to the Xuanyi Arena’s breeding shed with two Bishops.

"Bring out that newborn little beast," commanded Tianyidong as he had someone fetch the little Demon Beast.

A disheveled Breeder came over, cradling a frail Demon Beast in his arms.

Due to a lack of milk, the little Demon Beast was very thin.

"Ninth Bishop, is it possible that by keeping this little one, we can find that missing Demon Beast?" inquired the Fourth Bishop.

The gaze of the Ninth Bishop fell on the weak and feeble little Demon Beast, which seemed to be on the verge of death at any moment, and a surge of anger welled up in her heart.

It was as if this little Demon Beast had triggered some unpleasant memories of hers.

She had just entered the Sky Wings Arena and felt a very strange sensation.

This sensation was as if she was very familiar with this place.

But at the same time, she also loathed everything about it.

Although it had been a long while, the constant Demon Beast competitions in the Yellow Wing Competition Zone had soaked every brick and every wall with Magical Beast Blood.

The air still carried the scent of Magical Beast Blood.

The ground beneath her feet was the burial site of countless Demon Beasts.

"If that’s the case, then lock up this little one and wait for its beastly mother to come knocking," said Tianyidong with a wave of his hand, and the obscure-faced, filthy Breeder stealthily glanced at the Ninth Bishop.

Upon seeing the Ninth Bishop’s exceptionally beautiful silver eyes, the inexplicably aged and obscure-faced Breeder showed a hint of an unusual color in the depths of his eyes.

His hands, cradling the Demon Beast Cub, trembled imperceptibly.

But in the end, he suppressed his emotions and carried the little Demon Beast away.

"Since the two Bishops have already come and we can’t find that missing Demon Beast for a while, why not let this young master play host, on behalf of my father, to entertain the two of you? You may also watch the various events in the Sky Wings Arena and take a tour around Sky Wing City," Tianyidong was very attentive, as he still needed the help of the two Bishops from the Summoning Court.

But hospitality aside, Tianyidong still harbored deep hatred for that Female Summoner who had laid her hands on him.

The Fourth Bishop readily accepted, but the Ninth Bishop reverted to her earlier coldness. Without a word, she walked out with the Fourth Summoner.

The two left the Sky Wings Arena with Tianyidong’s company.

The moon hung high in the night sky.

The damaged Xuanyi District was silent and tranquil.

At that moment, a figure quietly entered the breeding shed.

The figure moved about for a while, as if searching for something.

In the Xuanyi District’s breeding shed, there were numerous Magic Cages containing Demon Beasts of different Ranks and some newly born Demon Beast Cubs.

After some searching, the figure stood in front of a cage.

Inside the cage, the Demon Beast Cub from earlier was curled up.

The cage was opened, and a pair of beautiful hands reached in to lift the little beast out.

Beneath the Ninth Bishop’s mask, her expression was complex.

She caressed the little beast, her movements very gentle.

But suddenly, she tightened her fingers around the little beast’s neck.

The little beast, sensing danger, began to tremble violently.

"Keeping you would only be a burden," her fingers tightened, and the little beast’s struggles grew weaker.

"If you kill it, you’ll never be able to see it grow up,"

The Ninth Bishop’s beautiful eyes narrowed, noticing that there was still someone standing in the corner.

It was that dirty Breeder; the Ninth Bishop had actually failed to notice him standing there!

Startled, in the next moment, the Ninth Bishop’s figure had already closed in on the Breeder. She raised her hand, reaching for the Breeder’s throat.

Her fingers, tipped with sharp claws, flashed as she aimed to take his life with a swipe.

The man did not dodge or flinch; a mockingly indifferent smile emerged on his dirty, unrecognizable face.

On such a weathered face, the sudden appearance of that handsome smile was so piercing.

The Ninth Summoner felt as if her eyes were scorched by the sensation.

It was like a stroke of lightning, tearing through the stillness of the night.

The Ninth Bishop’s mind was filled with an image of a smile that was both vague and vivid.

Who is he?

Why does he evoke such an oddly familiar feeling in her?

In an instant, the hand of the Ninth Bishop unexpectedly did not fall.

She slowly retracted her hand.

"It’s too weak; it must die. If it doesn’t die, its mother will eventually lose her life because of it," she said.

The Ninth Bishop didn’t understand why she felt the need to explain to someone she had only met twice.

She didn’t want this person to misunderstand her as a cold-hearted and ruthless individual.

Even though, in the Summoning Court, she had always been so cold-hearted and ruthless.

"For the most part, parents are always willing to sacrifice for their children," the man’s words resonated clearly and forcefully in the Ninth Bishop’s ears.

Her heart suddenly clenched tight.

The Ninth Bishop staggered a few steps backward.

Parents...

"Who are you exactly!" the Ninth Summoner’s voice rasped, rising in volume.

"Yun..." Before the Breeder could finish answering, the Ninth Summoner suddenly covered her ears, as if terrified of hearing the man’s name, and in a panic, she vanished on the spot.

"Jiusheng, have you truly forgotten me?" the Breeder, who was in fact Yun Canghai in disguise, sighed.

He recognized Hu Jiusheng at first glance.

After parting ways with his daughter Hu Jiusheng, Yun Canghai began searching everywhere for information about the bishops of the Summoning Court.

Although the affairs of the Summoning Court are carried out discreetly, Yun Canghai didn’t expend much effort to learn of Hu Jiusheng’s whereabouts.

That’s because, in the span of over ten years, the Summoning Court had only added one new summoner, the Ninth Summoner.

About this Summoner, rumors from the outside were very mysterious; her name, age, and even her nationality were unknown.

The only certainty was that she was a woman and her summoning skills were strong, initially estimated to at least be capable of contending with a King-level Magical Beast.

This is also the reason why the Summoning Court had dispatched the Ninth Summoner for the incident at the Sky Wings Arena this time.

Originally, Yun Canghai had no plans to come to Sky Wing City; he intended to infiltrate Penglai.

But when he had just entered Penglai, he learned of some news.

There had been a Beast King Level eruption of Demon Beasts in Sky Wing City.

The entire continent was shocked by this event, and it was said that the Summoning Court had already sent people to deal with it.

Yun Canghai immediately thought that the Summon Emperor would not personally go to Sky Wing City, and within the Summoning Court, the only one capable of subduing a King-level Magical Beast was the Ninth Summoner.

With this thought, Yun Canghai immediately changed his original intention and headed to Sky Wing City, blending into the Yellow Wing Competition Zone.

It just so happened that the Yellow Wing Competition Zone of the Sky Wings Arena was short of a Breeder, which allowed Yun Canghai to hide his identity and mix in.
