Within the mud swamp, bubbles began to surface again with gulping sounds. The mud slowly solidified, forming a human figure. An old man, whose facial skin was even more withered than ancient tree bark, appeared before everyone. Upon seeing the Summoning Ring on his hand, everyone drew a sharp breath. It was a Holy Beast Summoner, one who could control High-level Demon Beasts and even Domain-level magical beasts. Unexpectedly, in the Luoxia Wetland, there was actually a summoner hidden. At this moment, even the most foolish Ye Beilian had realized they had fallen into an ambush. "You, you are... Please spare me, sir. I am a collateral member of the Wu Family of Penglai Country. Please let me go for the sake of the Wu Family," Wuxiong begged, trembling with fear. "Hehe, all along the way, you’ve killed so many Demon Beasts. Those were our family’s pets’ food. Since you’ve killed them, you can become their new food. The first one to be eaten will be you, foolish descendant of the Wu Family," Little did they know the Eagle Claw King had no intention of letting them go. Smelling the scent of the summoner among the group, with a screeching sound, the Eagle Claw King pounced like a streak of golden lightning. In an instant, its claws had seized Wuxiong’s head. The smaller Eagle Claw Bats swarmed towards one of the Cannibal Plants. Wuxiong was grabbed by the Eagle Claw Bats, and with a crack, his head was instantly severed. The tragic scene rendered everyone present too scared to move. The strength of this summoner was indeed terrifying, especially the power of his Summoned Beast, which was already at the Ninth-Order Peak. "Hehe, which one of you is the Crown Prince of Great Zhou? I have been promised a payment in the form of crafting Purple Ginseng Golden Pills in exchange for the life of the Crown Prince of Great Zhou," the old summoner scanned his gaze among the few people left. Eventually, he set his eyes on Ye Beiming. After all, the opponent was a Crown Prince; both his bearing and appearance were surely top-notch. Among the crowd, with his bearing and looks standing out the most, the old summoner, thinking he was clever, fixated his gaze on Ye Beiming. With a dry laugh, he inquired, "Are you the Crown Prince of Great Zhou?" This question nearly caused Ye Beilian to faint in anger. Yet, he couldn’t deny it openly. It was clear that the old summoner had been hired to kill him. If he admitted his identity, the other party would certainly not hesitate to kill him. Ye Beiming glanced at Ye Beilian, who was silent beside him, and with a slight smirk filled with a touch of disdain, questioned, "Old senior, we have no grudges or grievances. Why set such a trap against us?" It was clear to Ye Beiming that the entire Purple Ginseng was just a carefully laid out scheme. "Hehe, why should a dead man know so much? Just die," the summoner commanded, and the Eagle Claw Bat instantly redirected its target towards Ye Beiming. "Wait a moment," just as the summoner was about to strike, Yun Sheng suddenly exclaimed: "He is not the Crown Prince of Great Zhou," Upon hearing this, Ye Beiming looked at Yun Sheng, surprised that Yun Sheng would speak up to protect him. As soon as the old summoner heard that Ye Beiming was not the Crown Prince of Great Zhou, he immediately stopped his action. This person, though not distinguishing right from wrong, recognized a principle—that is to kill when necessary. Since the person he was told to kill was the Crown Prince of Great Zhou, he would only kill the Crown Prince of Great Zhou. Ye Beilian almost fainted with shock. Actually, he had been hoping that the old summoner would kill Ye Beiming without question, owing to the fact that Ye Beiming’s influence in Great Zhou had surpassed his own by far. Killing him would mean eliminating future trouble, and he could take the opportunity to escape from this dire predicament. Who would have thought that d*mned female mage would blurt out the truth? "Don’t tell me the esteemed elder has not heard that the Crown Prince of Great Zhou is an incompetent good-for-nothing and also quite ugly. He has a terrible reputation across the continent. Take another look at him; he has the appearance of a great talent, how could he be the Crown Prince of Great Zhou? Besides, which country’s crown prince would condescend to such a place personally to pick medicinal herbs?" Yun Sheng also noticed that the old summoner, despite his age, seemed to be oblivious to worldly affairs. As expected, after hearing Yun Sheng’s words, the other party also felt that something was off. The person who commissioned him to kill the Crown Prince of Great Zhou had a very distinguished status himself and was unwilling to enter a place like Luoxia Wetland. "You young lady, then you tell me, where is the real Crown Prince of Great Zhou?" The old summoner looked at Yun Sheng, saw that she was just a Great Magic Director, and noting her innocent and naive face, he reckoned she did not seem like someone who would lie. However, the old summoner was gravely mistaken. There’s a saying that the dogs that bite do not bark, and under Yun Sheng’s harmless girl-next-door facade was a heart as cunning as a Poison Witch. "He’s hiding in a very secluded place. If you trust me, venerable elder, I can take you to him," Yun Sheng said convincingly. Upon hearing this, Ye Beiming became somewhat worried as Yun Sheng was about to personally lead the old summoner to a non-existent "Crown Prince of Great Zhou." "Trust me," Yun Sheng winked at him and Qi, and at the same time, she stealthily touched the Summoning Demon Hand hidden in her embrace. The opponent’s magic cultivation and summoning skills were far superior to her own. If she wanted to successfully deceive him, it would be a desperate gamble. Otherwise, none of them would have the slightest chance of survival. After hesitating for a moment, the old summoner followed Yun Sheng and began walking forward. "Wait, if we go, what should we do if that Purple Ginseng matures? You sly little girl, I almost fell for your trick," he suddenly became angry. He had come this time for the Purple Ginseng, and he almost fell for Yun Sheng’s diversionary tactic. "Elder, you have no need to worry. Look at the flowers of the Purple Ginseng. Although the petals have turned red, the color at the very top is not red yet. I am a pharmacist, and I can assure you that it won’t mature within two hours," Yun Sheng said with great certainty. "Two hours is enough for you to capture the greedy and cowardly Crown Prince and come back to pick the herb. Moreover, you could even use that coward’s corpse as fertilizer for the flower." Ye Beilian was so angry that he nearly vomited blood again. This had been the most suffocating period for him; he had no good days at all. Humiliated by the people from Wuji Commerce, and to save his own life, he had been repeatedly humiliated by Yun Sheng. Yun Sheng, you lowly person, as soon as he returns to Great Zhou, he would absolutely not let her off. Ye Beilian’s venomous gaze was caught by Ye Beiming who was beside him, and a flash of killing intent passed fleetingly in his eyes. Ye Beiming was also inwardly impressed by the extent of Yun Sheng’s psychological strength. In the world, probably only Yun Sheng would be able to, in such a critical situation, infuriate her enemies to the point of spitting blood. Little Wildcat, the longer one gets to know her, the more surprises she brings. The old summoner was skeptical for a long time but ended up believing Yun Sheng’s words. He reckoned that a young girl barely in her tens couldn’t possibly stir up any serious trouble. Yun Sheng, taking the old summoner with her, headed in a northwest direction. **Thank you Fei Fan, Yuan Zui, and Huai Picao for your rewards. My performance has been pretty poor lately, I fear I might be put on ice. I never asked for subscriptions after going live; I only hope that some people, out of generosity, will defer the DB by a couple of days**
