"So it turns out that little girl... oh, my mistake, that adult, is your apprentice. This humble one was blind to Mount Tai and I beg the Summoning Emperor’s forgiveness," realizing that the other party might be a Summoning Emperor Level strong warrior, the Holy Beast Summoner dared not move any further. In the continent, Holy Beast Summoners are considered to be exceptional existences. There are no more than a thousand Holy Beast Summoners in the Continent Country. But what is the story with this Summoning Emperor Level strong warrior before me? The old summoner’s dry forehead had already broken out in a cold sweat. Looking back at his own Eagle Claw Bat, which was completely devoid of its kingly demeanor and cowering in fear, he kneeled on the ground with his mind racing, thinking of the few remaining Summoning Emperor Level old monsters still extant on the continent. And yet, he still had no idea which one he was facing at the moment. "What is your surname and name? That girl you saw earlier is my apprentice. To bully her is to disrespect me," Yun Sheng concealed in the shadows, her voice quietly changed. The mysterious power of the Summoning Demon Hand terrified the Holy Mage. Yun Sheng also did not dare to linger, she could feel the Magic Power within her being rapidly swallowed by the Summoning Demon Beast Hand. "I am Zong Ren, a Holy Beast Master from Penglai Country," the mind of the Holy Beast Master flashed through several possible candidates. Apart from the Red Robe Summoning Emperor of the Summoning Court, the other few Summoning Emperor Level strong warriors from the continent had vanished without a trace for many years, so why would one appear here so readily? Zong Ren had his suspicions. Could it be that this Summoning Emperor is an imposter? With these doubts in his mind, he looked again at the source of the voice in the darkness. He did not see any Summoned Beast guarding the surroundings of the Summoning Emperor Level strong warrior, which deepened Zong Ren’s suspicions. In the shadows, if he were to quietly test, he believed he would be able to verify the true identity of the Summoning Emperor; he quietly commanded the Eagle Claw Bat to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Yun Sheng’s gaze was sharp. She saw the old summoner lift his head with some sneaky movements, and the Eagle Claw Bat was also flapping its wings, ready to leap at her. Trying to test her? Yun Sheng sneered coldly and immediately issued a command to the Thousand-legged Ant King inside the Linglong Beast Tower. Suddenly, Zong Ren’s Summoned Beast lunged at Yun Sheng. Yun Sheng immediately used Earth Escape, and her figure quickly moved more than ten meters away. The Eagle Claw Bat lunged into thin air and promptly folded its wings to prepare for another pounce, unaware that at that moment, Yun Sheng had also waved both hands, and a Summoning Array appeared beside her. Right after an odd buzzing sound, a swarm of Beast Ants flew out from the Summoning Array. Zong Ren’s face turned pale with shock, as he saw a group of ferocious and fierce Beast Ants, among which an Ant General looked exceptionally vicious. It firmly bit into the legs of the Eagle Claw Bat, commanding the Ant Soldiers to surge forward and attack. The Eagle Claw Bat, with its thick hide and flesh, was normally unbothered by the bites of typical insects, But facing an Ant General of a realm-strong warrior level, it was unable to defend itself. The ants frenziedly gnawed at the flesh and blood of the Eagle Claw Bat. Summoned Beasts and Summoners share a psychic link; as the Eagle Claw Bat was ensnared by the Beast Ants, Zong Ren also felt an itchy and painful sensation all over his body. It was truly an unbearable feeling. Especially since Zongren was just a Summoner, and he had aged quite a bit. His temper was eccentric, and he relied on his Ninth Rank Eagle Claw Bat, never having any servants by his side. But today he had the misfortune of encountering Yun Sheng, who possessed the Summoning Demon Hand; it served him right to fall into Yun Sheng’s hands. The Eagle Claw Bat King was surrounded by countless Beast Ants, in excruciating pain; it had no choice but to use its bat wings to strike at the Beast Ants on its body, splattering blood everywhere. The Beast Ants, drawn by the scent of blood, were even more frenziedly devouring the blood and flesh of the Eagle Claw Bat. As a result, Zongren’s own suffering became even more unbearable. A Summoned Beast and a Summoner were tortured to the point of desiring life and death but within a mere moment. "Honorable Summoning Emperor, I beg for your mercy, I know my wrongs. I will not dare do it again; if only you spare me, I and my Summoned Beast will swear eternal loyalty to you," Zongren, who had lived for sixty or seventy years, had never been in such a sorry state as today. At this moment, he truly felt life was worse than death. The Beast Ants were indeed terrifying; under the command of the Centipede Ant General, they sucked at the sight of blood and gnawed at the sight of good flesh. With his old skeletal frame, how could he withstand such torture? Seeing that Zongren was already at death’s door. Yun Sheng also felt that seven or eight tenths of her Magic Power had been consumed by the Summoning Demon Hand, and she knew it was time to reel in the net. She had no intent to kill this Holy Summoner; he could be of use to her. Yun Sheng feigned an annoyed tone, "Ignorant rat, a firefly’s light, yet aspiring to match the stars. I have no interest in entangling with you; from now on, you’ll follow my little disciple. Her words are as my own, any defiance, and my Ant King will show you no mercy. To prevent betrayal, swear with your Magic Soul, your eternal loyalty." "As you command, I will surely adhere to your directives," Zongren was incredibly grateful, where would he dare to doubt Yun Sheng’s identity now, he nodded like pecking rice, bumping his head continuously on the spot. Swearing by one’s Magic Soul is the most solemn vow for both Summoners and Mages; if one breaks such a vow, the Magic Soul will shatter and lead to death. After Zongren swore his oath, the darkness overhead gradually dissipated, and the daylight returned. Zongren felt all the Beast Ants on his body disappear. There was no sign of the Thousand-legged Ant King, only the female Mage he saw earlier, who was now looking at him with amusement. And looking around, that mysterious Summoning Emperor had long since vanished; truly, an individual of Summoning Emperor Level strength, coming without a shadow, leaving without a trace. "Little master, why didn’t you tell me earlier that you had a Summoning Emperor Level master," Zongren was trembling with fear, yet inside, he was full of regrets. What a sin, how had he provoked such a catastrophe. Think about it, Zongren was also a well-known Holy Summon Level powerhouse in Penglai Country, but now he had to call a girl not even ten years old his little master. How could he then carry on in the Continent Country? Well, being a laughingstock is still better than being killed by that Summoning Emperor. Remembering the Beast Ants gnawing at him, just the thought made Zongren’s heart palpitate. "Zongren, did you hear my master clearly just now," Yun Sheng smirked secretly, seeing Zongren kneeling like a pug beside her. That act just now had indeed taken quite a bit of her effort. Fortunately, it had not been seen through; gaining such a powerful subordinate was indeed a major boon for her. "You just give the orders, my lord; from here on out, if you say go east, Zongren will definitely not go west," Zongren was utterly dejected, he was regretting so much now that his guts were turning green, that of a slave definitely set in stone.
