Dijiang-hao cruised a few rounds in the sky, but Zhang Che didn’t discover any traces of the other dark exotic beasts.

Left without a choice, he could only fly toward his original destination, Cang Long City.

As per the information Huang Juyun prepared for him, Zhang Che came directly to the vicinity of a small town about seventy kilometers to the northeast of Cang Long City. Indeed, he saw a spatial gateway standing in a small valley.

Next to the spatial gateway was a military camp. Zhang Che parked Dijiang-hao at a piece of empty land in the military camp without having to pay a fee.

It couldn’t be helped; his future father-in-law’s family was very well-connected in the military. If it were anyone else, let alone parking the sky shuttle in their territory, they would be warned by the military the moment they entered the air above the camp.

It had to be mentioned that a private sky shuttle was a very flashy piece of equipment.

When Zhang Che landed, Dijiang-hao’s streamlined figure drew the eyes of everyone around the spatial gateway. Each of them stood on the spot, watching as Dijiang-hao slowly landed in the empty plaza in the military camp.

“Damn, the rich really can do whatever they want. He actually drove a private sky shuttle to come to the beast world. When I’ve struck it rich myself in the future, I’ll buy such a flashy plane myself, too!” a young man in his twenties said angrily as he watched Zhang Che walk out of the sky shuttle’s cabin, his eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

“Stop daydreaming. Forget about affording such a thing in our lives!”, the young man’s companion smacked the back of his head and pulled him to the spatial gateway.

The young man immediately grew angry. “How is this daydreaming? I’ll tell you. What difference is there between a man and a salted fish if he doesn’t have a dream to work towards? Isn’t it just a private sky shuttle? Wait until I advance to mid-tier beastmaster; I’ll only need to obtain a few mid-tier beast cards and I’ll go buy one right away!”

His companion looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot, asking, “You want to buy a private sky shuttle with just a few mid-tier beast cards? You better go back to sleep! Have you heard of anyone owning a private sky shuttle? Let me tell you. Don’t even think about getting such luxurious items if you don’t have billions of dollars!”

“Billions of dollars? Seriously?” The young man finally gaped in shock, speechless.

Zhang Che had actually overheard their discussion. It wasn’t that they were speaking loudly, however. Instead, Zhang Che’s senses had become much sharper after the golden vortex had powered up.

They were less than a hundred meters apart. It was impossible for Zhang Che not to hear them!

-They want to buy this kind of a sky shuttle with only billions of dollars?

-Really, poverty has limited your imaginations...-

Of course, Zhang Che wasn’t interested in telling them the truth that a few billion dollars wouldn’t even buy them a layer of Dijiang-hao’s armor. That wasn’t being reasonable, but slapping them in the face.

Zhang Che wouldn’t do such a thing. He wasn’t that bored yet...

As such, under the envious gazes of the people nearby, Zhang Che crossed the spatial gateway as if no one was near him and began his levelling trip.

Well, that was what he thought.

Not long ago, Zhang Che was still a greenhorn who didn’t even dare stray too far away from the safety zone. Now, he was already someone who could wander around the beast world like it was his own backyard, not fearing the exotic beasts so powerful in the eyes of others.

“It feels like many years have passed. Who would’ve thought that it’s only been a few months? In the beginning, I was only thinking of earning money to cure mother’s illness, and now I’ve attained such achievements before I knew it!”

Zhang Che narrowed his eyes as he summoned the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon. He held a map in his hands and quickly flew directly east in the beast world according to the route marked out on the map.

At present, he was strong enough to protect himself and his close ones. He didn’t have to deliberately disguise himself.

As he flew towards his destination, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s distinctive figure had the beastmasters below looking up in admiration.

Not only that, many beastmasters who were hunting exotic beasts couldn’t help but show incredibly cautious looks when they saw the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon flying over their heads, worried that this very powerful beastmaster would come snatch their prey.

After all, would a beastmaster riding a dragon be someone simple?

Naturally Zhang Che wouldn’t go snatching their prey. Those exotic beasts, which were only mid-tier gold-quality at the most, could no longer enter his eyes.

Let alone mid-tier gold-quality, Zhang Che couldn’t be bothered to snatch their prey even if it was a mid-tier legend-quality exotic beast.

They were all citizens of Hua Xia. Zhang Che couldn’t bring himself to do that. That was too shameful!

(Editor’s Note: Yes, this is total hypocritical BS, and a VERY selective memory...)

Following the directions on the map, Zhang Che rode the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, avoiding a few dangerous, unknown lands, and flew over two thousand kilometers before finally arriving at his destination.

As per the information from his future father-in-law, this area was filled with mid-tier exotic beasts, with no lack of dark gold, or even legend-quality beasts! He couldn’t ask for a better levelling spot.

Looking into the distance, he indeed saw all kinds of exotic beasts spread out on hills. He could sense a stronger aura from several of the places.

-Very good! Father-in-law really put great effort in this!-

“The sumptuous feast starts now!” Zhang Che directed the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to descend to a low altitude as he said that. With a wave of his hand, he summoned all his powerful pets and subdued beasts.

When the Earthen Rock Demon’s massive figure appeared, the nearby exotic beasts were terrified and started scampering away in all directions.

The pressure from a epic-quality beast was too much!

Those exotic beasts immediately knew this area was taken over by a powerful existence when they felt the Earthen Rock Demon’s aura. If they didn’t leave now, they might not get another chance to.

“Tsk, tsk . You won’t get away!”

Zhang Che’s lips drew back into a smile. He waved his hand, and the bunch of capable babies scattered, each heading in a separate direction to pursue the exotic beasts.

With the exception of some extremely fast flying exotic beasts, how could the exotic beasts in this area, which were only mid-tier level, escape the pursuit of a bunch of legend-quality subdued beasts and pets?

All kinds of horrified cries rang out within a dozen kilometers. Mid-tier exotic beasts were brought down one after another, either turning into mangled corpses or streaks of light.

Some of the streaks of light that resembled flames directly dissipated, while the others condensed inwards and turned into beast cards of different colors.

Zhang Che wasn’t idling around waiting. With the scarlet sword’s attack range reaching three hundred meters, his hunting speed was superior to even the Earthen Rock Demon. A sweep of his blade would clear a wide area, as if he was only mowing grass.

———

The next day, a passenger plane landed at Cang Long City’s airport.

Miyazaki Musashi walked out of the airport expressionlessly and called for a taxi with his well-practiced Mandarin, rushing towards a certain area in the suburbs.

The taxi driver was originally not willing to leave the city, worried that it was too dangerous. However, Miyazaki Musashi only shot a glance at him and made him tremble. A layer of cold sweat soaked his back, and he quickly drove to his passenger’s destination.

After arriving, Miyazaki Musashi tossed out a low-tier beast card. He didn’t care about the ecstatic look on the driver’s face. After determining the directions, Miyazaki Musashi headed towards the spatial gateway Zhang Che went to.

His pace seemed to be very slow, but every step he took would cross over two meters. Soon, he arrived at the military camp next to the spatial gateway.

“So this is Hua Xia’s newest private sky shuttle? What a pity...” Miyazaki Musashi subconsciously cast a glance at the beautiful Dijiang-hao parked in the military camp, then crossed the spatial gateway without a word.

After entering the beast world, Miyazaki Musashi didn’t go look for Zhang Che blindly. Given how vast the beast world was, let alone him not knowing which direction Zhang Che went in, even if he knew, it was impossible to find him.

He only settled down in a shop within the safety zone and waited patiently.

“No one can continue to live freely after offending the Miyazaki Clan. No one!”

When he thought of how Zhang Che was the reason that the Miyazaki Clan fell from a first-rate to a second-rate clan, and perhaps not even a second-rate clan, a deep cold glint flashed in Miyazaki Musashi’s usually calm eyes.

The news of Zhang Che killing a descendent from the Zhen family, and subsequently engaging the Zhen family in an arena deathmatch was too widely spread. As a clan with extremely deep foundations in Japan, it wasn’t hard for the Miyazaki Clan to learn such information, despite being in a worse position than before.

Not only that, even the matter of Zhang Che purchasing a private sky shuttle from Hua Xia Airlines was investigated thoroughly by the Miyazaki Clan.

This time, it was done through the observation via satellite, capturing Zhang Che flying Dijiang-hao to Cang Long City. Miyazaki Musashi came tailing behind him.

He believed that Zhang Che probably wouldn’t stay here for too long.

Of course, even if Zhang Che would be staying here for a long time, Miyazaki Musashi was totally patient enough to wait for him in the safety zone.

Zhang Che had hurt the Miyazaki Clan too deeply. Even though he was now a great figure with huge influence among the mid-tier beastmasters in Hua Xia, in addition to having the Hua Xia military behind him, the Miyazaki Clan was determined to silence him, no matter what price it took.

The room Miyazaki Musashi rented was on the third story of this ad hoc inn. It provided him with a wide view. Standing there, he could see the situation of the entire safety zone.

He didn’t go to his room to rest. Instead, he moved a chair out and sat in the wooden corridor, his eyes slightly narrowed, focusing his attention on the distance like he was enjoying the scenery.

Although Miyazaki Musashi’s actions were a little weird, the beastmasters who entered the beast world might run into danger at any moment. No one would take notice of his eccentrical actions. In any case, he wasn’t bothering anyone.

——

The sky gradually darkened. Miyazaki Musashi maintained his sitting posture, and just like that, sat for half a day. His eyes were half open, half closed, looking like he was about to fall asleep.

Finally, when darkness had fully shrouded the lands, and lights were on in every corner of the safety zone, Miyazaki Musashi stood up. He walked down the stairs and went to enjoy a simple dinner.

As a powerful beastmaster, Miyazaki Musashi wasn’t lacking in patience. After his dinner, he went back upstairs and sat down in the corridor for a long time, then returned to his room to rest for the night.

It was already night time. No one would dare move around casually in the beast world.

Miyazaki Musashi wasn’t worried Zhang Che would rush back during the night. He believed that as an experienced beastmaster, Zhang Che wouldn’t take such risks.

Very few beastmasters would dare to roam around during nights in the beast world!

It wasn’t only because of the many hidden dangers during the nights in the beast world. The main reason was that there were no moon or stars in the night sky to provide illumination. The lands were fully covered in darkness. No matter how good a person’s sense of direction was, they would get lost without realizing it.

Losing their way in the beast world during the night wasn’t something fun. If they were ever so slightly careless, they might intrude on a powerful exotic beast’s territory. Once they were ambushed, how many people dared to guarantee they’d be able to retreat in one piece?

Even Miyazaki Musashi didn’t dare to act so recklessly, even as a powerful high-tier beastmaster. He believed Zhang Che wouldn’t dare, either.
