Chapter 178 Coming Of Age Ceremony V

People turned their heads towards Xia Tian who had fallen to the ground, Xia Luo's heart felt happy to see someone attack Xia Tian. But his joy did not last long, because suddenly Xia Tian got up, and cursed with anger.

"Fuck! Who dares to attack me secretly!" The people were dumbfounded to see Xia Tian who was not injured at all. Seeing Liu Ying running towards him, Xia Tian shouted at her. "Don't come here! I don't know who attacked me, but it looks like the assailant was only after me."

[Dodge, Master!] Alice warned him again.

*BOOM*

Xia Tian immediately moved aside to dodge the incoming attack, and the attack shattered the ground Xia Tian had previously stepped on. 'Can you track that person down, Alice?'

[All I know is that she's a woman, but I can't lock her position, because her movements are too fast.]

"Are you all right, Tian?" Liu Ying shouted from a distance.

[We can't fight here, Master. Otherwise- Dodge] Xia Tian again dodged the unknown woman's attack.

*BOOM*

Above the sky, the woman who was none other than He Shiyun quite surprised after seeing Xia Tian managed to dodge her attacks twice in succession, she then snorted. "He must be just lucky, I will attack him again."

[The attack is coming again, Master.]

"Damn woman!" Xia Tian cursed as he dodged the third attack, people were astonished that Xia Tian managed to dodge the attack, moreover they didn't feel any energy from his body. "I will lure the mysterious woman to another place, you guys don't need to follow me."

He immediately used his Void Breaking Step to go to a place far from the residential area, people's eyes widened in shock as Xia Tian disappeared from before them. And they still couldn't feel the energy, they didn't even know Xia Tian's cultivation level.

"We must follow him, Sister Xuan." Zhu Yuhe immediately flew towards Xia Tian's location, and Zhou Xuan then followed behind her.

After they left, the other family heads asked Xia Ling. "Old Man Ling! Is Xia Tian able to cultivate now? Otherwise how can he dodge those quick attacks."

"Yes, Little Tian is no longer crippled. Ying'er happened to run into an old alchemist from the Holy Central Continent, because she had helped him before, so the old man gave her the recipe for restoring Little Tian's spiritual root." Xia Ling told them according to the story Xia Tian and Liu Ying made up back then, he did it on purpose to avoid people's suspicion.

"Holy Central Continent? Xia Tian is really lucky." They also know that the people of the Holy Central Continent are very mysterious, people from that continent can come to their continent easily, but it is quite difficult for them to go to the central continent.

Xia Luo and Xia Sheng darkened, after they found out that Xia Tian was no longer crippled, moreover they were unable to measure his cultivation. Unlike his father and big brother, Xia Wu smiled happily, even though she wasn't very close to Xia Tian, ??but she was happy that her cousin was no longer a cripple.

---------------------------------

Xia Tian Location

"Fuck! This woman is really unreasonable, she only dares to attack secretly, even though she is a woman, but I hate a cowardly cultivator like her the most." Xia Tian cursed He Shiyun harshly.

He Shiyun mouth twitched at Xia Tian's words, she gritted her teeth, she ignored his curse, and continued to attack Xia Tian.

---------------------------------

Zhou Xuan who was flying behind Zhu Yuhe finally spoke up. "The person who attacked Xia Tian was a beast turned human, Yuhe. But I didn't feel any killing intent from her, and she seemed to be just venting her anger on Tian."

"Eh?" Zhu Yuhe was taken aback by Zhou Xuan's words. "Could it be that Xia Tian offended her? But as far as I know he never hunted beasts."

"I don't know, but since I have a beast bloodline, so I can feel her emotions." Zhou Xuan also knew that Xia Tian had never hunted beasts, because the beasts of this continent were of no use to him, and he had only once hunted beasts to train his other women.

He Shiyun suddenly frowned because suddenly Xia Tian's energy disappeared, she immediately appeared where Xia Tian was last seen. Of course, she couldn't sense his aura, as Xia Tian who was tired of dodging her attacks decided to enter the Ancient Sacred Realm.

Ancient Sacred Realm

"Master? Why are you panting heavily like that?" Mu Ruxue asked in surprise.

"There's a crazy woman who keeps attacking me secretly, I don't even know about that woman, yet she keeps chasing me." Xia Tian explained to Mu Ruxue while catching his breath. 'Have you been able to detect that woman yet, Alice?'

====================

'Ancestor Origin Realm!' Xia Tian exclaimed in shock, and He Shiyun was the strongest woman he had met, ever since his soul transferred to the Seven Star World. 'Seems like this woman is deliberately toying with me, with her cultivation she was able to kill me in the first place.'

Alice burst out laughing. [Ha ha. Isn't this a good opportunity to complete the mission Forced Contract To A Beast, Master?]

'That's right, Alice. But the problem is that she moves really fast.' Xia Tian said, as he thought of a way out.

[Zhu Yuhe and Zhou Xuan are heading to this place, and Ruxue is also here, Master. The three of them will definitely be able to distract that crane woman, after that you can go out to make a forced contract with her.]

Xia Tian was surprised to hear Alice's words. 'Oh? Yuhe and Xuan'er were nearby? Then let's carry out your plan, Alice.'

"That woman is actually a crane beast, Ruxue. Yuhe and Zhou Xuan are outside right now, so I will send you out, and pass my message to them." Xia Tian then gave instructions to Mu Ruxue, and immediately sent her to the outside world.

---------------------------------

Zhu Yuhe and Zhou Xuan had already confronted He Shiyun, Zhu Yuhe then asked her. "Why are you chasing after Xia Tian?"

"Humph!" He Shiyun just snorted, and ignored Zhu Yuhe, as she continued to search for Xia Tian's whereabouts.

Mu Ruxue appeared before Zhu Yuhe and Zhou Xuan, she then spoke to them via voice transmission, as she conveyed what Xia Tian said. After that, they exchanged glances, and prepared to restrict He Shiyun's movements.

'',

He Shiyun, who had not noticed their behavior, was startled by their sudden attack. Even though He Shiyun's cultivation was higher than theirs, but Mu Ruxue's bloodline was higher than hers, coupled with the pressure of their auras at once, all of them made her unable to move. He Shiyun then shouted at them. "Let go of me! Otherwise I will avenge your actions later."

"Humph! You dare to chase after my Master." Mu Ruxue snorted coldly at her.

"Snow Spirit Deer? Who is your master?" He Shiyun asked in confusion.

Xia Tian suddenly appeared in front of them, as he activated his Lightning Qilin Bloodline to suppress He Shiyun even more. "Of course, I am Ruxue's Master."

Xia Tian didn't waste any more time, he immediately used his Devil Touch on He Shiyun, and absorbed her energy.

"What did you do to me!?" He Shiyun felt that her energy was being absorbed into Xia Tian's body, it terrified her and she continued to scream hysterically. "Let me go!"

Xia Tian ignored her screams and continued to absorb her energy, after the energy in He Shiyun's body barely left, he immediately stopped his actions. "Let her go, she won't be able to move anymore."

They immediately retracted their auras, causing He Shiyun to lie on the ground helplessly, and she stare at Xia Tian in horror.

"I don't even know who you are, but you suddenly attacked me secretly. If you didn't attack me, then I wouldn't have done this to you, and I was kind enough not to kill you right away, but you still have to bear the consequences." Xia Tian spoke slowly with a grin, he then placed his hand on He Shiyun's chest, as he continued to speak. "This is a technique I learned from the Beast Tamer Leader a long time ago, and I will be using it on you for the first time today. Beast Soul Contract!"

"What are you doing to me!?" He Shiyun felt that her soul was branded by Xia Tian, ??and soon she felt that her soul was connected to Xia Tian. After the forced contract was successful, Xia Tian immediately removed his hand from his chest.

====================

[Ding]

[Mission : Forced Contract To A Beast]

[Status : Accomplished]

[Reward : Beast Communication Technique - Learned]

====================

Xia Tian smirked at her, then he explained. "From now onwards, you are my contract beast, if you dare to attack or betray me, then you will die instantly, and you will also obey my orders completely."

He Shiyun's face turned deathly pale, as her body continued to tremble. She didn't expect that her actions to end like this, she became a man's contract beast. Zhou Xuan herself shuddered at Xia Tian's words, his beast instincts kept her away from Xia Tian.

"Hahaha. You have a flying beast now, Tian." Zhu Yuhe spoke as she laughed heartily, she herself was no longer surprised by Xia Tian's cruelty.

"Congratulations, Master." Mu Ruxue also congratulated him wholeheartedly.

"If it wasn't for you guys, then I wouldn't be able to make a forced contract with her either." Xia Tian said sincerely, he then looked at He Shiyun. "So now tell me why did you attack me? I didn't even know you before."

Due to the effect of the contract in her soul, He Shiyun finally told them everything. Actually, she was ordered to observe and protect Xia Tian, ??but she felt angry that Xia Tian had so many women, so she decided to attack him. After telling them everything, He Shiyun lowered her head in shame.

"So your young miss is Tian Qilian, and her father ordered you." He Shiyun nodded her head, Xia Tian heaved a sigh of relief after knowing the truth. "Unfortunately, I can't cancel our contract, there is only one person who can cancel it. He is the master of the Beast Tamer Realm, because he was the one who created the technique."

But suddenly Xia Tian shuddered, he then turned to Zhu Yuhe and Zhou Xuan who were looking at him with narrowed eyes. "Are you going to tell us about that Tian Qilian?"

Seeing them like that, Xia Tian then recounted what had happened between him and Tian Qilian, and his tone was filled with guilt.

Zhou Xuan exclaimed in shock. "You are really lucky, Tian. The Lightning Qilin is one of those mythical beasts."

"En, I know that, Xuan'er. It's just that I still feel guilty towards her, even though I was in an unconscious state at that time, this is still my body after all. One day, I will go pick her up at the Holy Central Continent, but I still need to raise my cultivation first." He said softly with a guilty expression.

He Shiyun finally understood her mistake, she misjudged Xia Tian's true character. After that, Xia Tian sent He Shiyun and Mu Ruxue to the Ancient Sacred Realm. He himself, Zhu Yuhe and Zhou Xuan immediately returned to Xia Manor.
