BXBX NOVEL Chapter 273 Finding A Mount
Liu Feng and Liu Man stood on the top of the missions hall looking down at all the people and the beasts on it.
The last time that he was on the roof, he was shocked by the number of ferocious beasts that could tear him apart in an instant, and all of them were willing to take him somewhere else like a mule.
But that was not the case anymore. None of these beasts could even scratch his body as long as he wanted that.
But it was still a majestic scene to look at. There were beasts everywhere, some roaring, while others meekly cowering in front of the deacons that stood before them.
Some of them took off, while others looked at the continuous flow of disciples that came in.
"This is your third time here? You are probably the only person in the whole of the Core sect who managed to get there by doing so few missions. I am shocked that the sect leader took in such a lazy disciple." the third elder walked from behind and looked at Liu Feng and Liu Man with interest.
"You know that I am the disciple of the sect leader? I thought that it was a secret that master had maintained? He even told me not to tell anyone else." Liu Feng looked at the third elder with shock.
"Do you really think that something like this can stay a secret for long? Many people found this out a long time ago." the third elder said, shaking his head.
"I need to get to the capital city, I am sure that you are aware of my situation to at least a certain extent." Liu Feng said.
"Don\'t worry. For you, the sect leader told me to prepare the fastest beast that we have. But do be careful. There is a reason that even most Core sect disciples do not use this mount. It is quite arrogant, and will not allow just anyone to mount it. In fact, only the elders and the sect leader himself use it on most occasions." the third elder said.
"It is that exclusive? What is it? Could it be, a mount in the Soul Evolution stage?" Liu Feng\'s eyes sparkled with desire.
"Don\'t be stupid. If the sect was so strong that even a Soul Evolution Stage beast was a mount, then it would be the strongest sect in the entire realm. Forget just the Tiandu kingdom. You will know when you see it." the third elder sighed and shook his head.
"Where is it? Is it not here?" Liu Feng asked as he scanned his eyes through the terrain. And yet there was not a truly powerful beast in sight. Sure, there were many in the Core Formation stage and even more in the Nascent Soul realm, but there was only one in the Xiantian realm, and that was already on its way out, mounted by another Xiantian expert, probably a core sect disciple.
"Why would we keep it here? Do you think that a beast as prideful as that will stay put here, where so many disciples look at it and ask if it is available for a ride? It will devour all the disciples, and the sect will be over before we even know." the third elder chuckled as he started flying away.
He looked back at Liu Feng and Liu Man, as if expecting them to follow.
Nodding, the duo followed after him as they flew across the sect to someplace else entirely.
They were closing in on the inner sect once more, and specifically the Frozen Lake.
"The most powerful beasts and the most devastating people of the sect are housed in the one place that the sect prides itself in the most. The Frozen Prison, which you must have heard of before." the third elder asked.
Liu Feng just nodded, but reminiscing about the time when he first became a true cultivator in the cultivation room of his master made his blood boil, heat that he desperately needed in the increasing cold.
Sure, he was powerful, but nature was nature. He still had to battle the cold with his Qi, and it was irritating to him, to say the least.
"The frozen prison? Why would a prisoner be happy to let someone ride it? A prisoner is someone who is forced to stay here, isn\'t it? How can that person become a good mount?" Liu Man interjected.
"The beast in question... is quite the peculiar one. You will know when you see him." the third elder looked away as they proceeded into the frozen lake.
Soon, all the disciples who were cultivating within it disappeared and they seemed to enter a completely different section that was cut off from the rest.
This seemed to be lower than usual. Liu Feng did not notice all this last time, because, at that time, Li Tian just carried him here, and the journey was something that Liu Feng was not aware of.
In fact, it felt like teleportation to him, and not the fast movement that it was.
"Ah! Is this fresh meat that I smell?" a haggard voice came from the side.
Liu Feng glanced at the walls, and to his surprise, within the walls, it looked like there were people within! There were people WITHIN the walls of ice. He thought that the prison was a place where the prisoners had to face the cold, but to think that they were frozen in place!
"Good. We are here. I just have to do something small. If you\'ll excuse me." the third elder smiled as he stood in front of another section, where Liu Feng could see the silhouette of another old man.
The third elder started performing a few seals, and all of a sudden, the ice in that particular area started cracking.
Liu Feng frowned.
"That face, seems a bit familiar doesn\'t it?" he mused.
"It it. Looks like it is the second elder." Liu Man commented. "The same one that tried to kill you the moment that you entered the sect."
