CHAPTER 645: CHAPTER 102: UNICORN

After sending Little Jinuo away, the day had already dawned brightly.

Indeed, a lot had happened during this night.

Yue Jinghua returned to her own residence, briefly cleaned herself up, ate breakfast, and then wanted to find her elder brother Yue Minzhi to tell him about the events that transpired last night at the Jiuhua Hall.

However, to her surprise, Old Steward Hong Shan informed her that her brother had been summoned by the Dragon Rider Team just as dawn was breaking, and he had urgently gone to the palace.

It seems that the news of the old and new Dragon Rider Teams taking different routes had already been passed down.

There are only three days left until the Dragon Rider Team departs from the Imperial City.

This matter came so suddenly that Yue Jinghua did not have the chance to make prior arrangements. Fortunately, now inside Wohua Imperial City, with the support of the Eagle Department, Linlan Street, and the three major forces at her hand, even if she leaves for a while, nothing major should go awry.

After contemplating for a moment, she called over Hong Yao and Hongling. "Hong Yao, go and prepare immediately, gather a large amount of spirit wood and some Dan Sha and Dark Pills. Soon, I will head to Fandi Port with my elder brother. Hongling, help me summon Lady Fen Xiang and the other two. During my absence, they must keep a close watch on Linlan Street and both Yunhu and Yanyue Commerce."

With Long Jiuzun leading the team, Long Rui and Ji Yun and their group will also proceed to Fandi Port. In the past few months, Yanyue Chamber of Commerce has suffered significantly, so they won’t be making any major moves. However, what worries Yue Jinghua is Yunhu Commerce.

Yun Lang, whose intentions are still unclear, is cunning and calculative; compared to Yanyue Chamber of Commerce, he poses much more of a challenge.

Only after Yue Jinghua had mobilized troops and made proper arrangements everywhere, did she summon Shalman to join her at the temporary shed in Duke Mansion to check on the little pony.

Three days later, she will head to Fandi Port. The journey to Fandi Port, as Jin Nuo said, must be thoroughly prepared for so that she can always guard against the sudden betrayals from Long Jiuzun and Ji Yun’s group.

Shalman was thrilled to hear that Yue Jinghua had obtained a special Dark Beast, but upon seeing the little pony, she first frowned, attempting to show disdain, yet her expression quickly turned serious.

Shalman immediately began examining the pony, as after all, compared to Yue Jinghua, she was the true expert in breeding creatures. In order to get the pony on its feet within three days, her help would undoubtedly be essential.

After thoroughly inspecting it, Shalman soon found multiple wounds on it, but its actual ailment had nothing to do with these wounds. "I’ve checked it over, and it’s covered with minor wounds. It seems to suffer from inherent deficiencies or possibly..."

Mulling over it, Yue Jinghua said: "You’re suggesting demonic deviation, aren’t you? You’ve also noticed; it’s not an ordinary foal, but a unicorn."

"A real unicorn! I had only suspected before, but now it seems, it really is a rare unicorn on this continent," Shalman said joyously, spoon-feeding hot water to the golden pony. "I was about to mock you for picking such a foal in a crucial moment when you normally are so clever, but it turns out you were remarkably sharp after all, a unicorn, which rank... eighth rank or ninth rank?"

Shalman, madly in love with creatures, had stars in her eyes at this moment.

"You pride yourself on being a genius breeder, yet you even misjudged its rank. It is a genuine Holy-grade Dark Beast," Yue Jinghua said with a half-smile watching the little pony on the ground.

"Holy-grade!" Shalman was so startled she almost spilled the water she was holding; she had never seen a Holy-grade Dark Beast in her life.

This little one on the ground, seemingly not far from its last breath, barely hanging on, was a Holy-grade Dark Beast.

Upon hearing Yue Jinghua reveal its grade, the little pony widened its eyes, glaring fixedly at Yue Jinghua.

"There’s no need to stare at me like that; I didn’t kill the remaining Three Holy Beasts of the Five Saints Mountain, Lord Golden Horn," Yue Jinghua said, stroking her chin with a ruffian girl’s expression.

As the days went by since she became a Summoner, she gradually stopped relying on the Gold Eater Worm and Qing Pugong to independently determine the grades of Dark Beasts. Following the memories of the Gold Eater Worm, she compiled a Dark Beast Manual, aimed at precisely and swiftly identifying the grades of Dark Beasts.

Unicorns are very rare, allowing Yue Jinghua to recognize its identity and its grade at first glance.

On the Eastern Continent, true Holy Beasts are indeed few and far between.

The most famous are the Five Holy Beasts of Five Saints Mountain.

Having heard that it was discovered on the ridge of Xuan Beast Mountain, Yue Jinghua already had a good idea.

Among the Five Saints Mountain, except for the Holy Beast of Wood Puppet Peak that sacrificed its cultivation for Yue Chen, there still should be four Great Holy Beasts left.

In the Dragon Transformation Pond, only three Holy Beasts died, so where did the remaining one go?

After discovering the disordered Dark Energy and the truth about deviation on the little unicorn, Yue Jinghua easily deduced that the last of the Five Saints Mountain’s Holy Beasts was this little fellow before her.

"Human Race, don’t bother making excuses; you carry the scent of that old woman Huo Fengyan. Did you also kill the remaining Earth Qilin and Blue Mermaid?" Yue Jinghua guessed correctly, the little beast before her was indeed the Golden Horned Unicorn from Golden Horn Peak, half-brother to the Earth Qilin.

It is also the only remaining unicorn on the Eastern Continent.

If Princess Long Xue knew that she had handed over a Holy-grade Unicorn to Yue Jinghua, who knows what kind of expression she would show.

The incident at the Dragon Transformation Pond in the Sky Dragon Palace was known by very few outsiders apart from those present that day when three Holy Beasts fell.

Indeed, inside Yue Jinghua’s body, there is phoenix blood from Huo Fengyan.

Yue Jinghua didn’t hide anything and revealed everything that happened in the Dragon Transformation Pond that day.

If one were really to name a killer, it could only be said that the three Holy Beasts foolishly fell for Lady Qing Yan’s scheme, and Yue Jinghua, the Five-Colored Jiao, and Cannibal Small Qingpu merely reaped the benefits.

In the world of Dark Beasts, the law of the jungle is the norm.

Seeing that Golden Horn still didn’t believe her, Yue Jinghua immediately summoned the Cannibal Small Qingpu, and upon sensing the aura of the Earth Qilin emanating from Little Qingpu, the Golden Horned Unicorn painfully closed its eyes.

It had been fighting the Earth Qilin all its life, vying for superiority. During the critical moment of its Core Formation, it suffered from deviation.

The Earth Qilin too died in the Dragon Transformation Pond; is this the fate of all Holy Beasts on the continent?

Yet in the end, such was its fate, and in its eyes, it probably still held brotherly affection.

"Instead of dwelling on the past, it’s better to look ahead. You’re currently suffering from deviation, and you cannot recover on your own. I can help restore the meridians in your body, but you must become my contracted Dark Beast," Yue Jinghua believed, there isn’t a single Dark Beast on the Eastern Continent that could resist the miraculous effects of the Nine Revolutions Creation Technique.
