Shuang Yun acutely caught the keywords. âSuccessfully? In other words, will our journey be very difficult?â
âYes, be it Wen Qian, Dark Moon City, or the Hundred Tempering Snake Tribe, they donât want us to qualify to build a city. Theyâll definitely think of ways to stop us on the way.â
Xue Ling leaned back and asked calmly, âWhat about Huanhuan? Is she going to the City of 10,000 Beasts with us?â
Huanhuan looked at them obediently.
Bai Di said, âI donât trust her to stay on the rock mountain herself. Besides, the leader and the witch doctor have to appear together to participate in the trial. The witch doctor in our tribe is Huanhuan. She canât hide.â
âWhat about the arrest warrant for Huanhuan in the City of 10,000 Beasts? As long as she appears in the City of 10,000 Beasts, sheâll immediately be arrested as a murderer.â
âWe can only let Huanhuan disguise herself and sneak into the City of 10,000 Beasts first. Then, weâll find a chance to find out the truth about Matherâs murder. After we get concrete evidence, we can prove Huanhuanâs innocence. At that time, sheâll be safe.â
Xue Ling said, âGood idea, but itâs risky.â
Bai Di was exasperated. âWe donât have much time. This is the fastest way.â
He stroked Huanhuanâs head. âI might have to trouble you for a while.â
Huanhuan smiled. âI donât feel wronged.â
Since the plan had been decided, Shuang Yun asked about the time of departure.
Bai Di said, âWhen the competition between those tribes is over, the trial will officially begin. We wonât have more than a month.â
It would take more than half a month to travel from here to the City of 10,000 Beasts.
Shuang Yun said, âThereâs indeed not much time. Letâs set off tomorrow.â
Bai Di nodded. âThatâs what I thought. The sooner we leave, the better.â

Shuang Yun picked out 20 male beasts from the tribe and prepared to bring them to the City of 10,000 Beasts.
They were all soul beasts who had awakened their beast souls, and Feng Lan was among them.
Shuang Yun wanted to take Jiu Yuan with him, but after some hesitation, he left Jiu Yuan on the rock mountain to help take care of the people.
Shuang Yun said, âYouâre my most trusted beast. With you staying on the rock mountain, I can go to the City of 10,000 Beasts in peace.â
Jiu Yuan agreed seriously. âI definitely wonât let you down.â
Shuang Yun patted his shoulder and lowered his voice. âIâll take Feng Lan away. You can take the opportunity to get closer to Mu Xiang and try to give birth to a few more wolf cubs. This is as far as I can help you.â
Jiu Yuan didnât know whether to laugh or cry. âShould I thank you for your consideration?â
âYou donât have to thank me. Weâre all brothers. Iâll be glad if you can help take care of my six children when youâre free.â
Jiu Yuan agreed very readily. âIâll definitely take care of your six children like theyâre my own children!â
Shuang Yun nodded. âIâm relieved to hear that.â
Xue Ling found Shen Yan and told him that he was going to the City of 10,000 Beasts.
Shen Yan said seriously, âYour trip to the City of 10,000 Beasts will definitely be very dangerous. You have to be careful.â
âI know.â
âDo you want me to send a few feathered beasts with you? All of you can take care of each other on the way there.â
Xue Ling was about to say no, but then he thought about it and changed his mind. âAlright, get two faster beasts to come with me. If anything happens later, Iâll get them to send a letter back.â
It seemed that he wanted to bring the feathered beasts with him so that he could deliver a letter if necessary.
Shen Yan looked at him speechlessly. âIf you just want to send a letter, you can just get a few birds.â
âOrdinary birds canât fly over the City of 10,000 Beasts. Theyâll be shot down.â
âAlright, Iâll make the arrangements.â
Xue Ling tidied his clothes. âAfter I leave, remember to help take care of the Rock Wolf Tribe. If He Guang comes, youâll represent the Rock Wolf Tribe to deal with him.â
Jiu Yuanâs status was not high enough. If he encountered He Guang, he would definitely suffer. It would be safer for Shen Yan to appear.
Shen Yan agreed. âI know what to do.â
Xue Ling was about to leave when he suddenly heard Shen Yan ask, âWhatâs with the sword tree at the foot of the mountain?â
A huge sword tree suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain. It wasnât just the Divine Wood clan as the feather tribe cared about it too.
Xue Ling smiled ambiguously. âThat tree was grown by Huanhuan. I donât know what happened exactly. Youâll have to ask her.â
He paused, then deliberately added, âBut Huanhuan said that itâs a secret. Even if you ask, she wonât tell you the truth.â
Then it mightâve been better if he hadnât said anything. Shen Yan was speechless. âI realize that ever since you became Huanhuanâs mate, youâve been leaning more and more toward the Rock Wolf Tribe. Do you still remember that youâre an elder of our feather tribe?â
âIâve been your elder for so many years and Iâm tired of it. Can I quit?â
Shen Yan gritted his teeth. âOf course not!â
Xue Ling clicked his tongue. âHow boring. Iâm leaving.â

Xue Hui found Huanhuan and asked her about going to the City of 10,000 Beasts.
âArenât you wanted by the Eldersâ Association in the City of 10,000 Beasts? It wasnât easy for you to escape. If you send yourself to them now, wonât you be courting death?!â
Huanhuan comforted her. âDonât worry, Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling will protect me. Besides, I canât hide forever. The matter with Mather has to be resolved. This trial is a chance.â
Xue Hui was still very worried. âBut itâs too dangerous for you to go to the City of 10,000 Beasts like this!â
Huanhuan told her their plan. âIâll disguise myself and enter the City of 10,000 Beasts. Iâll try my best not to let anyone discover my true identity.â
âWill this work?â
âWe wonât know until we try.â
Seeing that she was determined to go, Xue Hui knew that nothing would change even if she continued persuading Huanhuan. She could only sigh and say helplessly, âIf you insist on going, please bring me along.â
Huanhuan was stunned. âWhy do you want to go?â
âI have to keep you safe.â
âI have Bai Di, Shuang Yun, and Xue Ling with me. Theyâll protect me.â
Xue Hui shook her head. âItâs different. Theyâre all male beasts. Male beasts have never been as meticulous as females. Besides, Iâm friends with the Golden Leaf Chamber of Commerce. When we get to the City of 10,000 Beasts, I can ask the Golden Leaf Chamber of Commerce for help.â
Huanhuan thought for a moment. âI have to discuss it with Bai Di and the others.â
âOkay.â
Huanhuan found Bai Di and Shuang Yun and told them about Xue Huiâs request to go to the City of 10,000 Beasts with them.
Shuang Yun had no particular objections to this. âLet her be. It doesnât matter if she goes or not.â
Bai Di said, âWe can let her follow. Sheâs the representative of the Divine Wood clan. If we donât let her follow, the entire Divine Wood clan will be worried about you.â
Huanhuan scratched her head. âIâm not made of mud. I wonât break when someone touches me. Do they have to watch me so closely?â
Bai Di smiled. âTheyâre worried about your safety, but theyâre also afraid youâll run away.â
âMy home is here. Where else can I run to?â
âI donât know.â Bai Di tucked her stray hair behind her ear. âYou appeared out of nowhere and you seemed to have fallen from the sky. Who knows, you might suddenly disappear again one day?â
Huanhuan: ââ¦â
