Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 307 - 304: Why Has Daoist Fellow Become a Summoning Beast?

Chapter 307: Chapter 304: Why Has Daoist Fellow Become a Summoning Beast?

“How could he be here?”

Qin Feng, upon seeing him, couldn’t help but be greatly surprised.

Because that person was not a creature of this realm, but a Ghost Controlling Sect disciple named Xiu Xin whom he’d met outside the Ancient Battlefield in the Southern Domain.

Xiu Xin was undoubtedly a genius, being able to become a True Disciple of a Major Sect like the Ghost Controlling Sect that had thousands of years of heritage, which alone proved his talents far surpassed ordinary people.

However, the once genius disciple of the Ghost Controlling Sect now found himself in a very pitiful state.

He was not only disheveled and seriously injured, but he was also bound to a stake in front of a church, awaiting execution.

...

Xiu Xin was tightly chained to the stake with Refined Iron, and even his palms were pierced with iron nails, firmly attaching him to the cross of the stake, with blood dripping steadily onto the ground, pooling into two puddles.

His head hung down motionless, even as the onlookers threw stones at him, he gave no sign of life.

If it had not been for Qin Feng still feeling the faint breath of life in him, he might have actually thought Xiu Xin was already dead.

This is really puzzling, how could this guy be here?

Moreover, he had been captured by the Light Church Court.

Qin Feng was astonished and wanted to go forward to rescue him, but suddenly remembered his current identity should not be exposed directly, so he stopped.

Of course, the rescue was necessary, not to mention that it was fortunate to meet a fellow cultivator friend in this distant Exotic Realm World. Even for the many years of friendship between their Sects, it was not acceptable to let this guy be burned to death by the Light Church Court!

However, he needed to make a trip to the Light Holy Mountain first, so it was not suitable to reveal his identity at the moment. It would be better to think of another way.

Going to the Holy Mountain was not because he was so loyal to the Druids that he must help them retrieve their lost Divine Artifact, the Jade Heart. It was because he learned from Priest Tuck about the place where the Light God Church had sealed the Jade Heart, along with another item that tempted him.

It was because of that item that Qin Feng decided to take the risk. If successful, the benefits to him would be immense.

As for Xiu Xin, he could suffer here for a while longer. After all, though he was not in a good state, as a cultivator with strong life force, as long as there was a trace of True Yuan left, it would not be easy for him to die.

Thinking this, Qin Feng did not act immediately but stepped toward the church.

At the church door, he asked one of the Church Knights maintaining order, “What’s the matter with that man?”

“You don’t know?”

The knight looked at Qin Feng somewhat strangely.

Qin Feng said, “I have just entered the city, preparing to join priests from all over who are heading to the Holy Mountain for a pilgrimage, of course, I don’t know what’s going on.”

“So you’re a priest from out of town.”

The knight nodded, “That guy tied to the stake is an Undead Mage, captured by Lord Doro’s forces outside of Lanton City on their way through from Iron Wall City. They plan to burn him publicly to warn everyone not to follow heretics.”

“Oh?”

Qin Feng nodded upon hearing this and turned to enter the church.

With a letter of introduction from Bishop Ebel, as a well-known bishop’s disciple, Qin Feng was soon warmly received by the Red Robed Bishop of Lanton City’s great church, who arranged a room and attendants for him, taking care of all his needs within the church.

When they learned that Qin Feng was also a fourteen-year-old Magic Guide–level Priest, their enthusiasm increased even more.

Although the Red Robed Bishop didn’t believe Qin Feng was eligible to become a Saint Heir of the Church Court—as the position was already reserved by families within the Church’s high echelon—his strength at such a young age promised a limitless future. So using some small, costless gestures to make connections now was hardly anything for him.

Qin Feng also put on a polite demeanor to acknowledge the bishop’s care.

After confirming with the Red Robed Bishop that he would depart with the group in two days, Qin Feng took his leave, saying he planned to tour the city.

The Red Robed Bishop didn’t mind this; in his view, a little priest who grew up in a remote town would not have seen the prosperity of a big city, and it was normal for Qin Feng to want to experience Lanton City.

So, he didn’t deter him and even meant to assign two knights to ensure Qin Feng’s safety, but Qin Feng declined.

He still needed to rescue Xiu Xin and having these two Church Guardian Knights by his side would be inconvenient.

Qin Feng turned and walked out of the church, parting the crowd that had gathered in front of the church plaza, and approached the tied-up Xiu Xin.

The two Guardian Knights next to the stake saw that he was a priest and did not stop him from approaching.

Qin Feng carefully examined Xiu Xin’s current condition and couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

The guy indeed looked miserable, not only covered in wounds but also with a significantly weakened presence, which made Qin Feng question whether Xiu Xin’s Lifebound Spiritual Ghost had also suffered a serious injury.

“He is an Undead Mage?”

Qin Feng asked the two Guardian Knights in surprise, “Why do I not feel much of the undead aura from him?”

“We’re not sure, maybe he hasn’t been an Undead Mage for long and isn’t completely tainted by the undead aura,” replied the knights with a shrug, “Anyway, when Lord Doro brought him here, he said this guy could command the undead, summon zombies. Such a being must be an Undead Mage, of course.”

“I see.”

Qin Feng nodded. It seemed Xiu Xin couldn’t read the situation, to be using Corpse Refining and Ghost Items in a fight against the Light Church Court’s people—wasn’t that asking for death?

If Daoist Fellow Xiu Xin had any understanding of the major forces in this world, he should have recalled those Ghost Items and zombies he had raised. Had he fought using other Spells, there might have been no trouble, he could even have a chance to be taken into some special departments of the Light Church Court after being captured.

After all, the special departments of the Light Church Court need Mages from other systems to work for them, and since they are not adept at training Mages from other systems themselves, they have to recruit from the outside.

On the stake, Daoist Fellow Xiu Xin’s ears twitched slightly.

He seemed to hear a somewhat familiar voice.

So, with great effort, he raised his head and opened his eyes to look forward.

Then, he froze.

Qin Feng?

How could this guy be here?

Even though Qin Feng had become much shorter, his face seemed more youthful than before, and even his aura had changed, none of this stopped him from recognizing Qin Feng at a glance.

After all, he was a Cultivator from the Ghost Controlling Sect, and it was easy for him to discern some unique auras emitting from Qin Feng’s person.

In fact, even though Qin Feng had concealed all fluctuations in his Dantian and had made his aura of Light become richer after consuming the Dragon Spirit Fruit, in Daoist Fellow Xiu Xin’s eyes, no matter how he changed, the distinct aura belonging to a Cultivator could not be concealed.

Especially since Qin Feng had cultivated the Azure Dragon Divine Technique, a Body Refining Cultivation Technique that made his physique and temperament different from the Mages and warriors of this world.

This was something that only Cultivators could scarcely perceive.

Once he confirmed it was Qin Feng, a glimmer of hope sparked in Daoist Fellow Xiu Xin’s eyes.

It looked like he would not have to die.

He was now severely injured, with barely one percent of his True Yuan remaining. He had no strength to break free from the chains that bound him, and even his Lifebound Spiritual Ghost had nearly dissipated under the special rays of light cast by those accursed Priests in the prior battle, leaving him incapable of using the Ghost Dao Escape Technique.

Otherwise, once he used the Ghost Dao Escape Technique, his body would turn from solid to ethereal and immediately escape—how could these insignificant chains possibly hold him?

Qin Feng glanced at Xiu Xin and used the Sound Transmission Skill to ask, “Daoist Fellow Xiu Xin, how did you come to be in such a sorry state?”

Daoist Fellow Xiu Xin’s mouth moved slightly, gathering the last bit of his True Yuan to feebly reply through sound transmission, “Don’t get me started. I was previously escaping from a Flame Demon’s pursuit when an accident happened, and I ended up in this world. As soon as I appeared, I was caught up in a battle, and then I was tied up here.”

He paused for a moment, then curiously asked, “And how did Daoist Fellow Qin come to this world? Don’t tell me you were also inadvertently summoned by someone, just like I was?”

“Summoned?”

Qin Feng was momentarily stunned, then immediately remembered the incident when the Lion Scorpion Beast was suddenly summoned away. He said in amazement, “A Cultivator can be summoned? You actually agreed to sign a summoning contract in your own mind, becoming someone else’s Summoning Beast?”

As he said this, he couldn’t suppress a shiver, nearly laughing out loud.

If the Supreme Elders of the Ghost Controlling Sect learned that their True Disciple had become a Summoning Beast for creatures of another world, it would be interesting to see how unsightly their expressions would become.

Although his face was devoid of a smile, the amusement in his eyes did not escape Daoist Fellow Xiu Xin.

Daoist Fellow Xiu Xin immediately grew irritated, “Don’t speculate wildly. Do you think I’m an idiot? Of course, it wasn’t a contract I signed myself. It was a zombie that I had refined. It just so happened that I was brought along with it.”

“That’s possible?”

Qin Feng was surprised internally.

But despite his curiosity, he didn’t press on.

After all, now was not the time for conversation.

He said, “You just wait here for a moment. There are a few experts in the church whose strength far exceeds mine. I will create some chaos elsewhere to draw those individuals away, and then I’ll come and save you.”

“Alright, thank you, Daoist Fellow,” replied Daoist Fellow Xiu Xin.

Daoist Fellow Xiu Xin said no more. When he had traveled through space to arrive here, his True Yuan had nearly depleted, leaving him with very little to use. So he closed his mouth and remained silent, planning to recover some energy so that he could escape with Qin Feng later.

Qin Feng turned and left.

His movement did not arouse any suspicion from others. To them, this small Priest had simply come to take a look at the Undead Mage before leaving with a face full of disgust, showing nothing but disdain for the Undead Mage from beginning to end.

Qin Feng dispersed his Divine Sense, probing every corner of the city. However, he avoided places with strong auras, as those powerful individuals would definitely detect his probing.

Even so, several Mages and Priests noticed his probing. Although his Divine Sense was much stronger than that of an average Mage, this did not mean others couldn’t detect him.

In fact, Mages who turned to cultivate spiritual power were very sensitive to Divine Sense probing. They just believed that the one probing was much stronger than them and didn’t warrant the risk of offense, especially since Qin Feng’s Divine Sense only swept by briefly and didn’t pry into their privacy, hence no one cared too much about it.

It didn’t take long for Qin Feng to find a spot suitable for a little bit of sabotage.

That place was a small church in the western part of the city.

The church Qin Feng was currently at was located in the eastern rich district, while the western side was dominated by small merchants and vendors.

Although the church was not particularly strong, it hosted a dozen Priests and Knights, and not far from it was a military camp, which appeared to be the city’s garrison force of Lanton City.

Qin Feng found a deserted area and quickly used the Shadow Transformation Divine Power to move toward the west.

He had already formed the Divine Power Seed of the Shadow Transformation Technique while in the Demon Beast Forest. During his advancement to Golden Core, this Divine Power had been imprinted onto his Golden Core, becoming one of his Primordial Divine Powers. Now, as he deployed it, it was as if second nature to him.
