Chapter 96: Spirit Master Bai Ze

With a loud clap, Shen Ying’s palm landed on the great beast’s leg. The beast lost its balance and fell to the ground with a loud crash.

Yi Feng celebrated as he could not see Shen Ying. Although he was unsure of how the beast collapsed, but this was his chance!

He immediately conjured a seal and used his remaining arrays. A huge array chart appeared in the air and words from his golden dharmic talisman flowed in the chart. The entire chart slowly descended toward the beast.

The beast which had been roaring angrily, slowly became quieter and weaker. Its eyelids closed over its red eyes. The array inched closer to the beast as the eyes of the beast closed completely. The array landed on its eyes.

Suddenly, the beast opened its mouth and bit at the array. There was a loud tearing sound as the array got torn to shreds and disappeared. The Cloud-Bearing Beast opened its eyes once again, looking even angrier than before. it shot needles from its mouth at Yi Feng.

Yi Feng had no choice but to retreat and avoid the toxic needles that were headed in his direction. Just as he was preparing his next attack, the Cloud-Bearing Beast turned away from him, with no intention to continue attacking him. It faced the southeast direction, roared, and bit at the ground.

“Sect Master Shen!” Yi Feng was shocked to find her still standing in the middle of the array formation shouting, “Get away!” He flew toward her but it was too late. He watched as the beast’s head extended toward her.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning struck the Cloud-Bearing Beast’s head.

Arh!

The beast roared tragically and retracted its head. Its forehead split open and blood flowed out of its wound.

A white figure appeared in the sky. He was in hanging in mid-air, dressed in a white robe. He descended toward Shen Ying as his body seemed to emit a faint light. This light was especially obvious against the dark seas.

Yi Feng, who had finally made it to Shen Ying’s side, could not believe his eyes. “Spirit Master!”

The other party didn’t respond. He only glared coldly at the Cloud-Bearing Beast on the ground with piercing eyes.

The beast which was extremely violent a moment ago, shrunk back into its shell as if it met its natural enemy. Trembling, the beast retreated until it stepped off the island. The beast hid under the water and raised only half of its head above the surface, just so it can catch a glimpse of the person who just appeared. It looked like it could not decide whether to escape or not.

“How… did you get here?” Yi Feng quickly walked toward his spirit master. I thought he never left Myriad Beast Peak? Did he come here because he sensed that I was in danger?

The other person did not respond. He acted as if he did not even hear the question. He turned toward Shen Ying, who still stood rooted within the array.

Shen Ying felt uncomfortable under his gaze. She scanned herself, expecting to find a dirty spot somewhere on her body. Yet, she found nothing. The man continued to stare at her. She had no choice but to greet him politely, “Hi, how are you? I’m Shen Ying.”

The man hesitated and clenched his fist. His mouth twitched. Shen Ying expected him to say something, but he suddenly turned around.

He turned his back toward her. “…” What’s that supposed to mean?

Am I… being despised?

Shen Ying’s mouth twitched. She hadn’t noticed that the black hair on one side of the other party’s head had turned slowly turned pink.

“Sect… Master Shen,” Yi Feng suddenly recalled that there were other people present. He quickly explained, “Spirit… He doesn’t speak much.”

“Oh,” Shen Ying nodded unhappily. “Is he from your family?”

“Er…” Was he going to say yes or no?

Shen Ying did not care. She continued to ask, “What’s his surname?”

“Well…” Yi Feng glanced at the man’s back. He hesitated to speak.

“Bai Ze!” The man suddenly turned around and looked at Shen Ying. “That’s my name.”

After a moment, he turned back around.

Shen Ying: “…” Do I look very scary?

Yi Feng panicked. Since when did the Spirit Master tell people his name? Why did he tell her his real identity? He shot a worried glance at Shen Ying and saw she was still calm as if nothing special had happened. She did not seem to realise there was anything wrong with the name. He relaxed visibly.

Yi Feng laughed awkwardly, “Heh heh… Sect Master Shen, please don’t mind him. Spirit… he doesn’t usually interact with other people, so…”

“Does he have social phobia?”

“Huh? Ah!” What the heck is a social phobia? “I guess… so?” Yi Feng nodded so that Shen Ying would stop questioning him further.

“Oh,” so that’s the reason. She nodded and stopped asking questions. She turned to study the mess in front of them and changed the topic, “Boss Yi, where are we headed next?”

“Well…” Yi Feng subconsciously glanced at the white figure beside him and quickly looked away. He had no choice but to try talking to the man. “Thank you, Spirit Master, for your help earlier. The two of us have to continue exploring the Mirage Sea to search for spirit beasts. I wonder if…”

He waited for a moment, then a cold voice said, “Go.”

“Eh? Spirit Master, do you mean… you will come with us?”

“… Yes.”

“But… but…” Yi Feng could not believe his ears. “We would not dare to trouble you with such a small matter, Spirit Master. The Mirage Sea may be dangerous, but we rarely come across such high-level beasts like the Cloud-Bearing Beast. Don’t worry, Spirit Master. Moreover, it won’t be convenient to reveal your identity. Why not….”

Before Yi Feng finished speaking, the white figure flew forward. Yi Feng only heard, “Follow!”

“…” Has Spirit Master always been this passionate?

Everything felt strangely surreal to Yi Feng. He quickly drew his flying sword and almost forgot about Shen Ying. “Sect Master Shen, do you want to come along?”

“Alright, thanks,” Shen Ying climbed atop the sword.

The group of three flew out of the island, with Yi Feng following about five feet behind Bai Ze, hardly able to contain his excitement. With his Spirit Master around, they would not have to worry about even higher level beasts like the Cloud-Bearing Beasts. Suddenly, he could not wait to find the remaining spirit beasts.

A while later…

“Boss Yi, what is a Spirit Master?” Shen Ying suddenly asked.

Yi Feng lost his footing on the sword and nearly fell off of it. His heart stopped as he turned around stiffly. Damn it, she heard.

“Spirit… Masters are… a special greeting used by people from my Yi Family,” Yi Feng forced a smile.

“Oh,” Shen Ying nodded. “What identity does he have to hide?”

Yi Feng lost his footing once again and his bottom really slipped off the sword this time. He caught himself after a while and turned to Shen Ying in disbelief, “How… how did you know?”

Σ(°△°|||)

“Didn’t you say it yourself earlier?” Shen Ying asked candidly.

“…” What did I say?

“Could it be…” Shen Ying scratched her head as if she thought of something, “Were you trying to whisper?”

“…”

“Hmm, your mouth didn’t move…”

“…”

“Is it too late to act like I didn’t hear anything?”

“…” Yi Feng wished he could die at that moment.

How exactly did you hear messages sent through voice transmission?
