Chapter 1397: Those Who Harm Our Young Master Shall Perish!

After Qian Bing departed from Xu Fan’s courtyard, he received a message from Putao.

"Any disciple akin to a puppet can obtain a loan from the treasury without any cost."

"Is this to plunge me into days of repayment? Truly nostalgic."

Qian Bing reminisced about the times he roamed the Chaotic Mist Area with a group of puppets, hunting chaotic giant beasts to settle his debts.

As he pondered over how to earn Primordial Purple Qi crystals for repayment, he encountered Han Feiyu.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother Qian, on your puppet’s advancement to the saint realm!" Han Feiyu offered his congratulations.

"Haha, it’s all thanks to Junior Brother Han’s support; otherwise, my life puppet wouldn’t have reached the saint realm so swiftly," Qian Bing responded warmly.

In the sect, there were only a few he felt indebted to. The sect’s richest was among them, second only to the Grand Elder in the assistance he provided.

Suddenly, Han Feiyu seemed to recall something and produced a Heavenly Spiritual Embryo.

A nascent aura emanated, instantly invigorating Qian Bing.

"Heavenly Spiritual Embryo! I never imagined you, Junior Brother, would possess such a treasure!" Qian Bing exclaimed, having seen the Heavenly Spiritual Embryo in Putao’s database.

This divine object was as valuable as anything that could evolve an external avatar for their puppet lineage.

"I heard this item is beneficial for your puppet path; please accept it as a congratulatory gift, Senior Brother Qian," Han Feiyu said sincerely.

They had found nine Heavenly Spiritual Embryos in that secret realm, three for each of the master and disciples.

"This Heavenly Spiritual Embryo is a divine object; it’s too precious for me to accept," Qian Bing quickly declined.

"Take it; if it’s too valuable, you can repay me with something good later," Han Feiyu insisted.

The Heavenly Spiritual Embryo landed in Qian Bing’s hands, and Han Feiyu waved as he vanished into the horizon.

Gazing at Han Feiyu’s retreating figure and the Heavenly Spiritual Embryo in his grasp, he sighed, "When will I ever repay this debt…"

At that moment, a saint-level puppet appeared beside him.

"Father, just accept it; this way, you can have another little brother, which will be of greater help to you in the future," the puppet son suggested.

"Alright, let’s go back and discuss what kind of little brother to add," Qian Bing replied thoughtfully.

Meanwhile, in Xu Fan’s courtyard, he was listening to Putao’s report.

"Master, according to the Heavenly Merchant Clan’s information, avatar number two and his team have arrived at the ninth transfer exchange world in the East Nine District," Putao reported.

"Given their speed, it seems they encountered no mishaps along the way," Xu Fan deduced, examining their travel route.

"Everything is proceeding smoothly on Number One’s side; he is now the most esteemed artifact master in the Beast God Demon Empire."

"Number Three should complete his mission in a few tens of thousands of years."

"Avatar Number Five has enough orders to keep him occupied for 100,000 years."

After assessing the situation, Xu Fan realized he truly had nothing left to do.

As Xu Fan pondered this, he stretched out with a big yawn.

"Putao, I’m going into seclusion to focus on cracking the system. Handle everything else, unless it’s a matter of life and death."

A teleportation formation appeared under Xu Fan’s feet, whisking him away to the cultivation room in the underground space.

Time flew by, and before he knew it, thirty thousand years had passed.

While Xu Fan was deep in seclusion, working on the system, he suddenly got a message from Putao.

"Master, the grape entity has upgraded, and the life-star’s transformation into the fourth star of the Three Thousand Realms has been fully mapped out."

Reading this, Xu Fan slowly opened his eyes.

"Not bad."

He stood up and appeared in the courtyard.

Looking around at the unchanged scenery, Xu Fan felt as though those thirty thousand years had passed in just a night.

"While you were in seclusion, three hundred seventy-eight disciples in the sect have reached the Great Saint level."

"The Three Insects left the Chaotic Star and are now exploring the outskirts of the chaotic center, as you suggested."

"Your good friend Wang Yulun ran into a chaotic Great Saint-level giant beast while traveling in the Chaotic Mist Area. He escaped using a one-time Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure."

"Lord of the Demon Domain and Saint Wanchuan had a big battle, both got hurt, and are now recovering."

"Your disciple Wang Xiangchi, along with Han Feiyu and Jian Wujie, found two secret realms in the Chaotic Mist Area over the last thirty thousand years. The most valuable find was a Primordial Supreme Treasure embryo."

"Your disciple Wang Xuanxin…"

Xu Fan listened to Putao’s rundown of the major events over the past thirty thousand years, nodding occasionally.

Just as he was reflecting on the peace, he suddenly got a distress call from Xu Yuexian.

"What’s going on, Putao?" Xu Fan asked.

"Xu Yuexian is being chased by a chaotic saint-level giant beast. I’ve sent Xiao Yang to help her."

In an unfamiliar part of the Chaotic Mist Area, Xu Yuexian used a Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure to break through space at high speed, trying to lose the chaotic giant beast on her tail.

"Putao, why hasn’t the chaotic giant beast been shaken off even though I used Master’s life-saving Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure?" Xu Yuexian asked.

"The chaotic giant beast, which understands the essence of the space wide road, has marked you. Until you enter another chaotic giant beast’s territory, it will keep chasing you."

"Don’t worry; I’ve sent Xiao Yang to rescue you. Just hold on for another fifteen minutes," Putao assured her.

Just then, a massive virtual image of a beast broke through space and appeared behind Xu Yuexian.

Its mouth, larger than a small world, opened wide, ready to swallow Xu Yuexian whole.

In a flash, Xu Yuexian activated the Xuanhuang Supreme Treasure again and disappeared from the giant beast’s gaping maw.

Unfazed by missing its prey, the giant beast waited calmly, like a cat playing with a mouse, for its target to run so it could chase again.

When Xu Yuexian broke through space again, she found herself in another part of the Chaotic Mist Area and spotted the Holy Sun Star in the distance.

"Putao, you planned this well," Xu Yuexian said with a smirk, looking at the Holy Sun Star.

"This spot is perfect; it’s also the best way to get rescued."

As Putao spoke, a glowing portal made of Holy Sun power appeared.

A young girl stepped out from the portal.

"Young Master Yuexian, I’m here to save you," the girl said with a radiant smile, and the Holy Sun Star behind her burst with light.

"This is a bit much; I don’t like being called ‘Young Master.’ Just call me sister from now on," Xu Yuexian said, smiling at the beautiful girl.

A massive wave of spatial energy surged, and the space giant beast leaped out like a gigantic shark.

"A mere chaotic giant beast dares to hurt my young master! Die!"

A giant sword glowing with the power of the Holy Sun appeared above the giant beast and struck down like lightning.

"Awwooo!!"

The wail was quickly silenced by the Holy Sun power from the giant sword in the chaos.

From the moment the giant beast appeared to its death, it was all over in the blink of an eye.
