"This … I gave him a pill to eat, and then he …"
Zhang Xing scratched his head and decided to tell the truth. It was only a matter of time before he was discovered. Now that he had explained it clearly, Hall Master Kechila would be at ease.
As he spoke, he turned around and pointed at the humanoid Xuan Ying. However, he didn't expect Kechila to misunderstand.
He saw that Zhang Xing was pointing at an empty place. There was no sign of anyone alive, and no corpse. Could it be that Zhang Xing had killed him?
He couldn't suppress his anger and interrupted Zhang Xing's words.
"Zhang Xing … I'll kill you! You have to compensate me for my Profound Shadow Beast!"
Sorrow surged from the bottom of his heart to his throat, and he choked on his sobs. Bitterness filled his nose and rushed to his eyes.
He stretched out his hands and grabbed Zhang Xing's neck.
"I'll strangle you to death!"
He was like a demon who had completely lost his mind.
However, at this moment, a cold voice sounded. "Hall Master Kechila, calm down."
Ga!
Kechila's hands stopped in midair. What a familiar nasal voice. He had heard it for many years. It was exactly the same as the Profound Shadow Beast.
But … but … He slowly turned his head and looked at the person who spoke.
It was the bearded man that he had neglected.
After staring at him for a moment, he vaguely found a trace of familiarity in his eyes. He swallowed hard, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.
"Who … who are you?"
After holding it in for a long time, he still asked.
"I'm Xuan Ying. Lord Zhang Xing specially refined a Spirit Awakening Pill for me. After I ate it, I became like this!"
The Profound Shadow Beast explained.
One was his benefactor, and the other was half his master. Although they didn't sign a contract, after so many years of meticulous care and support, he treated Kechila as a friend, brother, and family.
This feeling could never be erased. If Zhang Xing did not appear, he would continue to live like this. Whether or not he could advance would depend on the will of the heavens.
However, the heavens were looking out for him. Not only did they send Zhang Xing to help him ascend a level, but after he stabilized this level, a stroke of luck suddenly descended upon him. Not only could he speak, but he could also transform freely.
Therefore, he resolutely decided to follow Zhang Xing and pursue the Saint Realm that was no longer unreachable. In his heart, he regarded Zhang Xing as his master.
His feelings for Zhang Xing and Kechila were not contradictory. It was like a child in a family who suddenly met a famous teacher one day and wanted to leave home to follow his teacher to explore the world.
"You're a Profound Shadow Beast?"
Kechila mumbled with 70% doubt and 30% belief.
His mind was in a mess. After all, anyone who encountered such a bizarre thing would not be able to wrap their heads around it for a while.
Knowing that Kechila didn't believe him, Xuan Ying's shiny black coat suddenly exploded and turned into hair. Cracking sounds could be heard from his joints.
Whoosh!
It immediately transformed into the shape of a huge Profound Shadow Beast.
It opened its big mouth and said in a low, muffled voice, "Hall Master Kechila, you should believe me now!"
Kechila raised his hands and was completely dumbfounded.
Was this … real?
Such a miraculous scene actually happened to a Profound Shadow Beast?
He never dreamed of it. No, he never dared to think of it or do it.
As the Hall Master of the Beast Hall of a third class empire, he couldn't say that he knew all the magical beasts on the Shenglong Continent like the back of his hand. However, he was still quite familiar with the ranks of magical beasts.
Rank one to three were the lowest, rank four to six were the middle, rank seven to nine were the high, and rank nine and above were divine beasts. He had never seen any before.
For a magical beast like the Profound Shadow Beast, which had a faint trace of ancient bloodline, it would have to ascend to rank nine before it could transform into a human.
However, with the current conditions, that was impossible.
However, the truth was right in front of him. He had to believe it even if he didn't want to.
