Ye Chen nodded firmly.
"Master, this matter is very important to me. Once it's settled, I'll rush to the genius competition as soon as I can."
"Do you need me to go with you?" Duan Huai An asked.
Ye Chen rejected him.
"I appreciate the thought, Master, but I have a friend with me. There shouldn't be any danger involved."
Although Duan Huai An was puzzled, he did not ask further, and simply told Ye Chen to be careful along the way.
After bidding farewell to Duan Huai An, Ye Chen left Qingxuan Peak. He had planned to descend the mountain to get himself a mount, but he did not expect to be ambushed by a black shadow!
It was the Black Tiger King from the Land of Slaughter!
Ye Chen's eyes lit up. He stroked the Black Tiger King's fur and asked, "Little Black! Did the Wen sisters arrive safely?"
The Black Tiger King nodded and lowered its head to rub it against Ye Chen's body.
