Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 582 - 526: Promise

Just as everyone was in a state of panic and unease, the people who had been sent out to investigate earlier came rushing back in a panic.

"It’s not good, a large number of high-level Beast Masters have suddenly appeared in the Teleportation Array."

Upon hearing this, Long Batian’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly shouted angrily, "Who did this?"

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but look at each other, clearly unaware of who had done it.

Seeing this, Sun Wenshan laughed mockingly, "How ridiculous, you still don’t know who did this. Do you want me to be merciful and help you?"

Upon hearing this, Long Batian’s face became extremely ugly, and he stared intently at Sun Wenshan, saying nothing.

At this moment, Zhao Wudi sighed and said, "What’s so proud about Sun Wenshan bullying a junior?"

Sun Wenshan sighed in response, "How boring, let me make sure you lose with utter conviction. Elder Li, thank you for your help in this matter."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Elder Li who was hiding behind the crowd.

Elder Li, seeing this, no longer hid, but instead slowly stepped forward to Sun Wenshan’s side under everyone’s gaze.

"Elder Li, you’ve done a great service this time, rest assured that I won’t go back on what I promised you before." Sun Wenshan said with an ever-pleased expression, patting Elder Li’s shoulder.

Upon hearing this, Elder Li was overjoyed and quickly clasped his hands in thanks, "Thank you for your nurturing, Alliance Hierarch."

Seeing this, Long Batian could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, and stepped forward to angrily question, "Elder Li, why do this? We have not treated you poorly."

In response, Elder Li said calmly, "Indeed, you have not treated me poorly. But you don’t know what I truly want."

Hearing this, Long Batian asked coldly, "What exactly do you want?"

In response, Elder Li straightened his back and said with utmost determination, "I want to become an Emperor-level powerhouse."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen laughed, pointing at Elder Li in ridicule, "Is it so hard to become an Emperor-level powerhouse?"

In response, Elder Li reacted as if a cat had its tail stepped on and pointed at Chu Chen angrily, "Junior, what do you know? I have been stagnant at the Emperor-level Peak for decades. Do you know how much effort I’ve put in? Do you think everyone is as lucky as you?"

"Humph! It’s ridiculous. I rose from nothing, relying not on the luck you speak of, and as for becoming an Emperor-level powerhouse, it’s nothing simpler for me. Now that things have reached this point, I won’t hide it any longer. If I wish, I can have you breakthrough to the Emperor level within a month."

"What? A month?" Elder Li said in utter shock.

"Indeed, if there are sufficient materials, maybe within half a month."

"No, this is impossible, you must be lying to me."

"Humph! Do you think I have any need to deceive you? You’ve accumulated at the Emperor-level Peak for many years, what you lack is a catalyst. If I can elevate your Guardian Beast’s quality to Legendary Level, can you break through to the Emperor level within half a month?"

"This... this could indeed be possible, but this is merely wishful thinking on your part. Do you really take me for a three-year-old child?"

In response, Chu Chen did not explain but instead set his gaze on Sun Wenshan.

Seeing this, Elder Li quickly asked, "Alliance Hierarch, is this true?"

Sun Wenshan naturally wouldn’t admit it; he smiled lightly at Chu Chen, "A clumsy divisive tactic."

In response, Chu Chen laughed immediately, his laughter full of disdain.

"Enough, you still refuse to surrender now. I promise to spare your life." Sun Wenshan shouted angrily.

"Alliance Hierarch, we cannot spare him, I want him dead." Li Mochen shouted excitedly.

"Enough, it’s not your place to speak here." Sun Wenshan waved his hand, sending Li Mochen flying away.

Li Mochen was directly blasted a dozen feet away, landing heavily on the ground, his eyes full of bewilderment.

Seeing this, Chu Chen immediately laughed again, "Haha, what a bunch of fools, do you really think he came all the way to Purple Luo Volcano just to trade you?"

Struggling to get up from the ground, Li Mochen pointed at Chu Chen and said in a low voice, "The Alliance Hierarch didn’t come for us. Did he come for you then?" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"Naturally, it was for me," replied Chu Chen calmly.

"Humph! How ridiculous, even able to utter such lies, do you really think we are all fools?" Li Mochen retorted coldly.

"Of course, you are all fools. How about we make a bet?"

"How do you want to bet?"

"I will stand here and not move. You can come to kill me now. I bet that the one to stop you will be Sun Wenshan. If I lose, my life is yours; if you lose, you will kill yourself on the spot, how about that?"

Looking at the confident Chu Chen and recalling their two-year surveillance of the opponent on Yundong Mountain, under the order that Sun Wenshan must capture the opponent alive, Li Mochen finally seemed to understand something, but disbelief remained in his eyes.

At this moment, Sun Wenshan shouted coldly, "Enough, everyone shut up. I’ll give you three breaths of time; those who surrender will be treated leniently, but if you remain obstinate, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

Up to this point, Zhao Wudi gradually calmed down and softly asked the person who had investigated, "How many people have arrived on the other side?"

"About a thousand, with 80% being King-level, and the rest mostly Emperor-level."

Hearing this, Zhao Wudi nodded and then communicated with Long Batian to inquire about their situation.

Upon learning that they also had over a thousand strong warriors, his expression eased considerably.

The numbers on both sides were quite similar, except Sun Wenshan’s side had the upper hand in quality. But in battles involving thousands of Beast Masters, many factors, not just individual strength, could influence the outcome. Factors like a strong Support Type Guardian Beast or possessing a Talent that boosts the entire team could turn the tide.

As for Emperor-level combat power, with Li Mochen and his fellows already defeated, only Hao Yan and Sun Wenshan were left.

Hao Yan’s strength was evenly matched with Qu Ran’s, and both sides would need time to determine victory or defeat.

That leaves only Sun Wenshan, who has broken through to Seventh Rank Emperor Level, a terrifying strength. Even if himself, Chu Chen, and Long Batian teamed up, they were no match for him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wudi’s face turned extremely grim.

"Chu Chen and Batian, when the battle breaks out later, you two escape at once. I will try my best to hold Sun Wenshan." Zhao Wudi said solemnly.

"Alliance leader, we must not! Our strength is similar to theirs; we may not necessarily be their match!" Long Batian exclaimed anxiously.

In response, Zhao Wudi shook his head, "You should know very well that if nobody can match Sun Wenshan, we have no chance of winning. You and your disciple are exceptionally talented, and the future of the Alliance is in your hands. Remember, a gentleman takes revenge, even if it takes ten years — don’t do anything foolish."

At this moment, Sun Wenshan spoke again, "Time’s up, now make your choice."

"Humph! I know exactly who you are. The best result of surrendering is dying of old age in the Soul Suppressing Abyss. Rather than live a lingering and pitiful life, might as well fight a grand battle!" Elder Bai stepped out from the crowd and shouted.

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen immediately praised, "Well said, Elder Bai. Let’s have a good fight with this old scoundrel. If we win, I promise that within a month, you will enter the Emperor-level. Of course, the same goes for everyone else; as long as you reach the Emperor-level Peak, I will give you the chance to step into the Emperor-level."

Everyone upon hearing this erupted in cheers like the roar of an ocean wave, their fighting spirits successfully ignited.
