"The clan elder... a wolf carried off the clan elder!"
Everyone was thrown into a panic, frantic with anxiety, yet also struck by how utterly absurd it was.
Being carried off by a wolf had always been nothing more than a frightening tale used to stop children crying at night. No one had imagined it would actually happen before their eyes.
With the Yin Family elder in her jaws, Little White ran several miles before suddenly accelerating and leaping into the air, clearing the mountain ridge and flying toward the valley on the other side.
At the same time, Fang Qianyuan released the Golden-Eyed Thunder Eagle.
"Scree!"
After that piercing cry, the fastest thunder eagle, which had almost caught up, was slain. It disintegrated in midair with a miserable shriek. The Golden-Eyed Thunder Eagle swept its keen gaze across the surrounding skies, then, once it saw that no other flying spirit creatures could keep pace, followed Fang Qianyuan and flew off.
The Human Rank Spirit Tamers behind them could no longer keep up.
Still, several sworn retainers of the lineage doggedly pursued them in the direction Fang Qianyuan had taken. Meanwhile, everyone in the camp hurried to activate the formation array and transmit messages, spreading word of what had happened and requesting aid.
Before long, Little White reached a clearing in a Forest Sea, dropped the Yin Family elder, then bent her legs slightly and crouched low to the ground.
Fang Qianyuan jumped down from her head and walked over to the Yin Family elder.
Yin Yuan narrowed his eyes, looking ahead against the sunlight streaming through the gaps in the leaves. Beside the enormous wolf's head stood a young man wearing a black Gold-Woven Cloud-Patterned Dharma Robe.
A jade belt encircled his waist, and cloud shoes clad his feet.
