"N..Now?" King Flame and the Clan Elders were shocked. "Aren't there still three months to go?"
"There are somethings that I need to settle, and after we leave, there will be no time for us to return." Sima You Yue said. "If you don't leave with me, then you will never be able to leave this place."
Flame King was shocked, and said, "Alright. But I think we will need some time to gather the people in our clan."
"Alright."
And so the whole Sabre-Toothed Tiger clan's members received orders to return within a day, and to pack all their belongings to return.
Sima You Yue was curious - what could these spirit beasts have to pack? But thinking that they had piles of medical supplies, and the ingredients that had been put carelessly here and there in the pavilion, she remembered that this clan also had a habit of ama.s.sing treasures. She guessed that these Sabre-Toothed Tiger would also have its own little storehouse of sorts.
On the morning of the next day, Sima You Yue started to set off, and following her were a pack of Sabre-Toothed Tigers who were of, or above, the ranks of a Spirit Paragon. Those who were of the lower ranks were either put in her Spirit PaG.o.da. But they were only there temporarily, to let Little Spirit make a little s.p.a.ce where there is nothing, where there is only a dark vastness, and one had nothing to do there but breathe. This would allow her to keep them, yet without letting them on on the secrets of the Spirit PaG.o.da.
Gong Yan and the rest saw that she really did have a place that could accommodate life, and thus believed what she said when she said that she could bring them out. The older clan members had already started to picture themselves ascending levels to become sacred beasts after they left their Little Realm.
At the Snow Wolf territory, the Guo and Yun families were waiting anxiously. They had been waiting for two days, and were unsure as to what Yun Yi's situation had turned out to be like.
"Awoooo--" A wolf's cry could suddenly be heard. Rong and Firmament's moods suddenly changed and they stood up and called out, "Prepare for battle!"
Wei Zi Qi and the rest saw that they had great reactions after hearing the wolf's cry, and asked, "Did something happen?"
"The Sabre-Toothed Tigers are here to fight!" Rong replied.
"I don't think you need to be this alarmed." Wei Zi Qi said.
"No. The last time the Sabre-Toothed Tigers came they brought their clan elders, and that's how Firmament got hurt." Rong said.
"If I'm not wrong, I think Sima You Yue has brought some of the Sabre-Toothed Tigers here." Wei Zi Qi said.
"It's him? Does he want to bring the Sabre-Toothed Tiger clan out with him too?"
"That's right." Wei Zi Qi replied. "Previously Bei Gong said that they had already discussed the terms with the Sabre-Toothed Tigers, and we're afraid that there won't be time for us to come back to get you all. The only way is to bring the both of you out at the same time. I think, if you're still willing to go with us, then you will need to quickly notify your clan to prepare to leave."
"We…"
"Zi Qi?" The mother stone in Wei Zi Qi's hand suddenly lit up.
"You Yue?" Wei Zi Qi answered.
"Zi Qi, inform the King Snow Wolf that we have already made our way over, and we will reach in less than a day. If they would like to leave with us, then they have to prepare quickly. We have to save our friends, and we don't have time to tarry." Sima You Yue said.
"I'm with them right now. He has heard everything that you have said." Wei Zi Qi said, looking at the King Snow Wolf. Rong and Firmament looked at each other, and said, "We will gather our clanspeople."
By the time Sima You Yue had brought the Sabre-Toothed Tigers to the Snow Wolves' territory, everyone was prepared.
Sima You Yue and the thousands of Snow Wolves gathered at the mountained, and was relieved that they had organised themselves more quickly than the Sabre-Toothed Tigers had.
"You Yue!" Guo Pei Pei cried out excitedly, losing her breath, as she saw Sima You Yue.
Sima You Yue came down from Little Roc's back, and nodded at Guo Pei Pei, saying, "You can tell us the bulk of the story later on. Let me settle the Snow Wolf clan first, so that we can get moving earlier."
"Alright." Guo Pei Pei said.
Rong saw that Sima You Yue had returned, but that the aura on her body had changed. He asked in surprise, "You've become a Spirit Paragon?"
"It's just by luck." Sima You Yue said. "Are you ready?"
"We are ready. How are you going to bring this many of us out at the same time?" Rong asked.
"I have a place that I can put you in. You can breathe while you're there." Sima You Yue said. "Your clansmen will have to wait there."
"Are the Sabre-Toothed Tigers going to be there as well?" Firmament squinted at the Sabre-Toothed tigers who had tagged along, their bodies emitting a dangerous scent.
"Yes. Regardless of the animosity between the two of you, if you want to get out of here, you'll have to put that aside. A few hundred years later, you can do whatever you like." Sima You Yue said.
Although Rong had wanted to avenge Firmament, he still nodded, "Alright."
"Now I bring your clansmen in." Sima You Yue said. Seeing that the King Snow Wolf had no reply, she waved her hands, and the younger members of the Snow Wolf clan disappeared.
"You Yue, are you not going to bring the others in?" Wei Zi Qi asked.
"Don't we have to go against a group of others? At that time we will need to lend the strength of those who are above the rank of a Spirit Paragon." Sima You Yue said, unafraid.
"You're going to bring this many spirit beasts on the road with you?" Bei Gong Tang was also surprised. Previously Sima You Yue had not mentioned anything, and they were not thinking, but only listening, and felt that she had not reasoned it out right.
"Hehe. Can't I do that?" Sima You Yue said. All she wanted to look a little more grandiose as she was on her way. But seeing how everyone was looking at her disapprovingly, she reluctantly put some of the spirit beasts in as well, and only left the King Snow Wolf and the King Sabre Toothed Tiger.
Upon hearing that the Sima You Yue had ascended to the Spirit Paragon rank, the Guo Family members were shocked. And only after seeing that the Spirit Beasts had disappeared did they regain their senses. In only nine months she had ascended from a Spirit Saint to a Spirit Paragon. Just how many opportunities did she meet in these months?
"You Yue, how is it that you have this s.p.a.ce that can accomodate life?" Guo Liang asked.
Sima You Yue laughed, saying, "It wouldn't be strange for a Beast Tamer Master to carry something that could accommodate life, right? It's just that mine is a bit larger, that's all."
Rong and Flame King did not know that Beast Tamer Master had such things, but the Guo and Yun family members understood what she had said. Normally, Beast Tamer Masters carried along with them things that could accommodate life. It was slightly different from the s.p.a.ce Ring, but it was similar to that.
Hearing what she had said, they were extremely curious as to how she had such a big s.p.a.ce, but they did not ask any further.
"You're a Beast Tamer Master too?" Yun Feng looked at Sima You Yue. "Older Brother said that you were an Alchemist, and that your powers in alchemy are very strong."
"An Alchemist? Aren't you an Array Master?" Guo Liang cried out in surprise.
"Hehe. I'm all of that, combined into one." Sima You Yue said. "Alright, let's be on our way. Where would Yun Yi be right now? Do you know which direction we should head towards?" Although she wanted to put aside the topic, everyone was looking at her with expressions of shock.
A twenty-two year old Alchemist-Array-and-Beast Tamer Master, who was at a Spirit Paragon rank. My goodness, surely there was no one in the Great Capital who could surpa.s.s that!
