Chapter 295 Saint City’s Meeting

For the next two days, the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain was completely still. Whether it was day or night, no to mention even half a spirit beast, not a single ordinary animal was seen. There wasn't any flying beast of any sort in the sky at all.

In the Saint City, high ranking individuals were gathered, they were discussing the events over the last two days, Every single one of them in had identities that would definitely gotten the entire Yilin Continent quivering in fear if they went out.

Wu Lingyu was with them, looking rather out of place among the elders.

Although he was young, no one looked down on him, because everyone knew he came from the upper realms and he was the Holy Son of the Sage Pavilion. He had proven himself to be extremely capable.

"These two days, there haven't been any appearance of any beasts, has everything died down?" A middle-aged man asked.

Looking at his outfit, one could tell he was the number one elder of the Alchemy Guild.

An elder from the Armament Guild quipped in an uncertain tone, "Two days ago, there was a shocking aura from Dragon Reflection town, it should have been released by that creature that was held captive, could it be that the retreating beasts have something to do with this? President Wu, you all are more knowledgeable than we are about beasts, do you think that this incident is over?"

That Elder Wu was the senior elder of the Beast Tamer Master Guild and he replied uncertainly, "I think it should be over. Even though I don't really know what happened two days ago, but since it did affect this incident, it carried forward the risk of destruction of the Saint City."

"The hundred year gap in between becomes shorter as the time they need to persevere for stretches on. I wonder if Saint City will be able to hold on. Sigh."

"No matter what, we have to protect this place well. It concerns the safety of over 1,000,000 people." The Sage Pavilion Palace Master said righteously.

Wu Lingyu kept still in his seat, not saying a word. He didn't want any part in this sort of meeting, but when Sima You Yue knew of this meeting, she got him to go to see if there would be any news.

"Since the Beast Tide is over and everything has calmed down, can we finally open up the array?"

"It was time already to open it up, it'll be the grand meeting after a few days, the clans would also want to move here."

"I heard that the younger generations of two clans went to Dragon Reflection Town earlier on?"

"The Nalan clan and Sima clan."

"I heard the Huo clan came too, but they were brought by their elders."

"Since it is like that, we should turn the array off."

"I approve."

"I, the head of the Beast Tamers Guild approve too."

"The Alchemy Guild approves."

"I have no opinion."

After a unanimous vote, everyone decided to turn off the array after the meeting.

"During this meeting, we're establishing positions of power again. I heard that there will be many talented youth with them this time. When they come, it'll be a real treat for our eyes." Someone mentioned.

"I heard there's a capable young alchemist, a twenty two year old alchemist who has reached rank four, isn't this much better than the kids from the Alchemy Guild?"

"I heard about this too, but that kid didn't look like a rank four, when he was battling Li Mu and defeated him, wasn't Li Mu a rank four? I think he's like, rank five or something."

"A twenty two year old rank five alchemist? That's even better than that kid, Han!"

"That's not all, I heard that Li Mu brought people to help the Nalan clan check if the rumours were true. In the end, he got utterly thrashed by him. Elder Qian, is that what happened?"

Elder Qian happened to be the first to comment on the issue, his face drained of colour, this was something that really shamed the Alchemy Guild. To have someone bring it up in such a conversation in front of everyone really enraged him!

"About this, we should wait till they're back. We will question them then." he snapped.

Wu Lingyu glanced at the elder, and said lightly "A few days before this, I was just going around with my master, I happened to pass by Dragon Reflection Town. I overheard someone saying it was Li Mu who was looking for trouble at the Sima clan that day."

He continued, "Li Mu went to ask the Nalan clan to test the Sima clan whether they were truly powerful, he said once they got three victories, he would acknowledge it and leave. But once the Sima clan beat one of them up, the Alchemy Guild went back on their word and said they wanted to change the duels to alchemy based duels."

The moment these words left his mouth, everyone stole glances at the expression of the elder. Someone from the crowd asked "Is this true? Li Mu looks pretty decent for such a s… thing."

The person who piped up initially wanted to say shameless, but after seeing his face, he decided to change his words.

"Those are just rumours, objectively, we'll need to wait for them to come back and then we shall ask. Elder Qian felt that his ego was completely shattered, he wanted to give Li Mu a piece of his mind there and then, even though he himself didn't really think highly of the Sima clan.

He never liked them at all anyway.

At the same time, the people that were talking to him, he didn't really like them anyway. The Guild Leader wasn't here today, so he had come here and was taken as a joke. He could only lament secretly.

He balled up his fists and his heart burned with hatred.

When the meeting had ended, the gates of the Saint City were closed. When Sima You Yue and the others heard the news, they decided to set out to the Saint City first thing in the morning.

After the events that happened during the two days, many people were still jumpy and directly left Dragon Reflection Town. So, when the Huo clan came, they managed to book a room.

"You say brother You Lin and the rest are here?" Huo Zi Jiao asked her servant with holding back her emotions.

"Young Miss, they said the Sima clan arrived here a few days ago before us. Young Master You Lin is with them too." said Peach.

"Really! I'll look for him!" Huo Zi Jiao started off.

"Miss, wait! I hear they aren't in the town anymore." said Peach.

"If they aren't in town, then where are they?" Huo Zi Jiao stopped in her tracks.

"I heard they've gone somewhere with no landmark, someplace they needed to set up a campsite."

"I'll look for him!" Hui Zi Jiao hiked up her skirts and started off again. She flung the door open and crashed into someone.

"What's the rush?" Huo Zi Yan looked down at his sister nonchalantly.

"Older brother, Brother You Lin and the rest are here, I'll look for them." Huo Zi Jiao said cheerily.

"Wait, wait a minute. " Huo Zi Yan stopped Huo Zi Jiao. "I want to look for him too, I'll come with you."

"Alright alright, come quick."

When both of them arrived at the lake, they saw Sima You Yue and Sima You Lin casually chatting at the lakeside. Sima You Lin had on a shocked expression.

Also, Fatty Qu, Wei Zi Qi and some other people from the Sima clan were fishing in the distance along with a colourful bird that was flying over their heads.

Seeing Sima You Yue, Huo Zi Jiao was uneasy. She was once slapped by Sima You Yue at Anyang City before and the Divine Rank Beast at her side only scared her more. In front of Sima You Yue, she felt nothing more than a silly clown jumping up and down.

But upon seeing the person she liked, she mustered up her courage and walked over.
