Chapter 128: Clash with beast abode peak
Early in the in the morning, the guardian sun is still hiding on the horizon without showing up. On the littered path of the rising sun peak, the Fire Kirin is descending while carrying Kent. A happy smile is playing over Kent's lips as he thinks about his cultivation growth in one single night.
He ascended the rising sun peak as an 8th-class magus. In just one full night, he reached the peak of the Elder Magus stage, equaling Thea.
Even after practicing for the entire night without rest, he is feeling more energetic. The pond water with its origin blessing tree secretions didn't let him feel any exhaustion or sleepiness.
Porus, standing atop the rising sun peak, is staring at the leaving trail of Fire Kirin. "A demonic talent..." Porus muttered with a proud smile.
Before leaving the sun peak, Kent performed all five arrows, surprising Porus with his quick learning ability. He even succeeded in the Void Shadow Arrow spell, teleporting from one position to another over a short distance.
Instead of going to the healing sun peak, Kent moved towards the beast abode peak to meet Lucy. Since their departure on the first day, Lucy has never contacted him. Even after he fell under the effect of poison, Lucy didn't come to see him. Thinking that there might be something wrong, Kent decided to visit Beast abode Peak.
As Kent began his ascent up Best Abode Peak on his Fire Kirin, he saw several pet creatures running along the path in a hurry. Unlike the narrow, rock-strewn paths of other mountains, this path is wide and linear, designed for swift travel on beasts.
The surroundings were vivid, a stark contrast to the Healing Sun Peak, where only herbs and medicinal plants were grown. Here, fruit trees in full bloom painted the landscape in vibrant hues, their branches heavy with glossy, mouthwatering fruits. Also, large ponds were situated at uniform distances, reflecting the clear blue skies.
The ascent to the top of the Beast abode peak is gentle, and the air is fragrant with the scent of ripe fruits. Kent also saw several disciples working hard near the fruit trees, and a few were carrying large baskets on their backs.
As Kent reached the summit, he was greeted by an imposing sight. A massive rock inscribed with "Beast Abode Peak" in exquisite calligraphy, the strokes bold and sweeping, embodying the majestic spirit of a mighty beast.
However, his awe was quickly interrupted by the appearance of gatekeeping disciples at the peak's entrance. They stepped forward, their expressions stern and unreadable, blocking his path with practiced ease.
"Who are you?" A disciple with a strong build questioned Kent with a grim face.
Without uttering a single word, Kent took out his emerald green personal disciple token of the healing sun peak and showed it to the obstructing disciple.
After verifying the name inside the jade toke, the disciple nodded his head and allowed Kent to enter inside.
"Where can I find a disciple named Lucy?" Kent asked with a questioning look.
After hearing Lucy's name, the disciple observed Kent from top to bottom. Almost everyone in the beast abode knew about Lucy as her kneeling pictures were posted in the peak forum.
"So, you came to save her?" The disciple asked with a mocking smile.
"What saving? Is Lucy in trouble?" Kent asked in a hurried tone.
"Go, see yourself. She will be on beast-taming grounds. Peak Master Leona is also there. Go quickly." The disciple replied while pointing a finger at the right-side indication board, where the path is marked with beast-taming ground names.
Without wasting another second, Kent followed the path and rushed his Fire Kirin to move faster.
The Fire Kirin left strong marks on the gravel path as it moved with all its strength. Its entire body is blazing with fire, as Kent didn't even try to control it.
Soon, Kent reached a large open grass field, where hundreds of disciples were trying all types of means to tame different beasts. The old lady Leona, the peak master of the beast abode peak, stood on the other end of the grassland and guided disciples randomly with her command.
Kent's eyes hurriedly checked for Lucy among the disciples. Unlike Haling Sun Peak, Beastabode Peak is mainly dominated by male disciples. Soon, Kent's eyes landed on Lucy, who was kneeling at the entrance arch of the taming grounds.
For a second, Kent didn't recognize Lucy due to a change in her appearance. Her knees were bleeding, coloring her clothes red, and she still stood like a statue while facing the ground.
Kent quickly got down from his pet and ran towards Lucy. Some of the disciples already noticed Kent's arrival as the dazzling Fire Kirin attracted the onlookers.
"Lucy… Lucy… What are you doing? Get up." Kent bent on one knee, held her cheek with his palms, and stared into her lifeless eyes with a concerned look.
Lucy's gaze slowly darted onto Kent as tears stirred in her eyes. She stared into his eyes for a moment, and in the next instance, she slipped into his hands unconsciously.
"Lucy… Lucy…" Kent hurriedly called her name, but she didn't respond to his call.
Leaning her body over his shoulder, Kent took out the water jar from his Pegasus bracelet and adjusted his position to help Lucy.
But just as Kent prepared to wash Lucy's face with water, a stout disciple came rushing on Bison and stopped Kent with a loud shout.
Kent lifted his head and stared at the stout guy impatiently. But soon he ignored him and continued to wash Lucy's face with water.
"How dare you? I told you to stop. No one is allowed to help her. It's peak master command." The stout guy shouted angrily while getting down from his bison.
Soon, many disciples gathered, and a few of them began warning Kent with threatening gestures.
"Boy, you don't know the rules of the beast abode peak. Leave before I change my mind. Otherwise, I will drag you down to the bottom of the beast abode peak." The stout guys spoke in a serious tone while taking out his wand.
"You, stop being a hero. If you cross the peak master's command, we all won't hesitate to beat you like a dog." A lady in lavish clothes stepped forward from the mob that surrounded Kent and warned Kent with a mocking smile.
Instead of arguing with the bunch of aggressive disciples, Kent proceeded with feeding water to Lucy.
"You…" The stout guy pointed his wand at Kent's head and muttered a spell loudly with an aggressive roar.
"Teera Fragrens Hastile"
