Chapter 994: Rum Guinness

You Yue immediately became emotional when she saw Jian Chen accept her small request . She was extremely happy .

In the morning of the next day, Jian Chen took You Yue with him as he left the Changyang clan with Rui Jin and Hei Yu .

The wild wind whistled in the sky as it blew past them like a gale at sea . It was terrifyingly loud, almost like thunder .

Jian Chen held You Yue’s thin waist as he flew through the sky, flying in a straight line toward an unknown location . A barrier formed from World Force staved off the wind around them .

You Yue became slightly flushed from Jian Chen’s embrace . However, happiness filled her as well . She smiled slightly as she looked at the receding landscape below and Jian Chen’s face .

“Jian Chen, where are we going next? Will it be dangerous?” You Yue’s voice was filled with excitement as she looked at Jian Chen brightly . This was the first time she had wandered the Tian Yuan Continent in her entire life, and it was with her most beloved and most admirable partner . It was impossible for her to be unexcited .

Jian Chen flipped his hand, and a white tiger hair suddenly appeared in his palm . This hair was originally left behind by Xiao Bai’s mother—Rum Guinness . She left it behind so that they could find her in the future .

Jian Chen gently brought the hair to the white tiger that lied gently on his shoulder . He said, “Xiao Bai, it’ll all be up to you if you can find your mother or not . ”

The white tiger’s interest was immediately piqued . Suddenly, it stood up . It stared unblinkingly at the white hair in Jian Chen’s hands with its eyes wide open . Rare, mixed emotions began to pour from its pure eyes .

The white tiger could not even open its eyes when it had left its mother—it probably did not even know what she looked like . However, it was impossible for it to mistake his mother’s scent, because this was a natural instinct of magical beasts that humans did not possess .

“Grrrr…” The white tiger produced a throaty growl as if it was crying in anguish . It also seemed to be talking to Jian Chen, even though he could not understand it at all . The white tiger appeared to miss its mother after catching a whiff of her scent .

The white tiger was currently a Class 7 Magical Beast, but the time since its birth was just too short . His current mind was even more undeveloped than Xiao Ling from Mercenary City .

The white tiger gently raised its furry front paw and opened its mouth slightly . A wind blade shot out and cut its paw . Immediately, a droplet of bright red blood dripped out and fell accurately onto the hair in Jian Chen’s hand .

Only the blood from the white tiger could activate the hair that Rum Guinness left behind .

The hair immediately turned completely red after it absorbed the blood . It began to glow with a demonic red light, before it broke free from Jian Chen’s grasp . It shot off into the distance with lightning speed .

Jian Chen tightened his arm around You Yue and fused with the surrounding space . He used Spatial Force to travel, turning into a blur as he chased after the tiger hair .

… 

In the northern parts of the continent, there was a marsh perpetually covered by a layer of poisonous gas . Countless poisonous bug and feral beasts lived in the marsh, and there were plenty of Class 6 Magical Beasts .

The marsh was in an extremely desolate region, as the poisonous gas there was just too potent . Even Earth Saint Masters were not resistant to it, and most detoxifying pills were ineffective . As a result, it became labeled as a forbidden region to most mercenaries . Only Heaven Saint Masters could survive within it .

In the center of the marsh, powerful booms constantly rang out despite the thick, green poisonous gas that clouded the area . It caused the gas to churn constantly as violent ripples of energy radiated outward .

More than ten experts floated in the air at the center . They rained down powerful attacks one after another, striking the marshland below .

Their wild attacks formed a huge ditch . It revealed a dull barrier that enveloped an underground cavern . It seemed to shake more and more under the rain of attacks . There were signs of it almost breaking .

“Put in some effort, everyone . There’s not enough energy in the barrier . It’ll break very soon . ” A gray-haired old man in luxurious golden robes floated high up in the sky as he stared coldly toward the shaking barrier . He directed the Heaven Saint Masters to attack the barrier in turns, which constantly ate away at the barrier’s energy .

The old man was a former patriarch of a large clan nearby . He was also the most powerful person in the group and had reached Saint Ruler already . However, he only belonged to the First Heavenly Layer .

“Old man Hou, are you sure there’s a heavily-injured Class 7 Magical Beast hiding behind the barrier? A Class 7 Magical Beast is on the same level of cultivation as you, and magical beasts are just innately more powerful than us . If we break the barrier, we’ll definitely aggravate the magical beast inside . If it isn’t as weak as you anticipated, it would be a disaster,” a Heaven Saint Master asked out of worry as he attacked the barrier .

The old man referred to as old man Hou coldly glanced at the Heaven Saint Master . His gaze was like a sharp knife and pierced the Heaven Saint Master’s heart . It immediately made him tremble, and fear rose from the bottom of his heart .

All those below Saint Ruler were ants . Even though old man Hou was only at the First Heavenly Layer, the Heaven Saint Masters were as weak as ants before him .

“Don’t worry . Ever since I discovered something odd here, I’ve always kept an eye out . I’m certain that it’s an injured Class 7 Magical Beast hiding in the barrier . It must be healing here, so it can’t threaten us at all,” old man Hou said nonchalantly . He was filled with confidence . He could tell that the magical beast that hid behind the barrier was much stronger than himself . If it were not injured, he definitely would not have come to provoke it . He did not take part in breaking the barrier, as he needed to remain in top condition in order to deal with the magical beast’s counterattacks .

“Class 7 Monster Cores are like great treasures on the Tian Yuan Continent . They’re invaluable . If I can obtain a Class 7 Monster Core and absorb all the energy inside it, my strength will be elevated to another level,” old man Hou thought .

A snow-white, three-meter long tiger lied weakly on the ground inside the dark cave protected by the barrier . It stared powerlessly at the constantly-shaking barrier as despair filled her eyes .

She was Xiao Bai’s mother, Rum Guinness .

When the tiger king from the Gilligan clan initially injured her, she was already at the edge of death and extremely weak . The tiger king had also deposited his power into her body, and only a Class 7 Radiant Saint Master could cleanse it . It had been sealed up by Jian Chen’s power as a Class 6 Radiant Saint Master before . However, this had limited her strength and her recovery speed at the same time .

She needed to devote all her strength to suppressing the dark energy, or it would break through the Radiant Saint Force seal . She would be dead for sure at that point .

It had consumed a lot of her strength to maintain the seal over the years . She had less than a hundredth of her peak power . As such, once the barrier broke, even Heaven Saint Masters could kill her off, let alone Saint Rulers .

As soon as she tried fighting back, the tiger king’s energy would destroy the Radiant Saint Force seal that Jian Chen left behind .
