"I'll take him to Purple Thorn Island to meet the Island Master first!" Venerable Pei Yan said.
Purple Thorn Island was the Core Land within the Ancestral God School reserved for inheritors of the Path of the Beast God. The island stretched boundlessly, dotted with countless inheritors' residences.
The Guardian Beast Gods of the Ancestral God School took turns serving as the Island Master of Purple Thorn Island. Every Guardian Beast God was an immensely powerful Universe Master!
Hum! Hum!
Space-time rippled slightly, and an enormous plaza appeared before Hu Yanbo. At its center stood a towering Divine Hall that radiated vast majesty. That was where the Island Master resided.
Jiu Feng Venerable had not accompanied them. He had already returned to his residence on Purple Thorn Island to wait for Hu Yanbo to finish the formalities.
"Xiao, follow me," Venerable Pei Yan said to Hu Yanbo beside him, then led him straight toward the towering Divine Hall.
Had it not been for Jiu Feng Venerable, Venerable Pei Yan might have left after offering a few words of caution. As a Divine General, he had no need to personally escort ordinary inheritors who arrived on their own to the Island Master's Hall.
But Jiu Feng had been his friend for many years, so his junior counted as Pei Yan's own junior too. He would help where he could!
There were no guards at the Divine Hall's entrance, but an invisible pressure permeated the surroundings.
Inside the Divine Hall lay an exceptionally spacious Central Courtyard, like an independent world. A figure in standard-issue armor, radiating the aura of a Universe Venerable, sat cross-legged to one side of the Central Courtyard, apparently on duty.
Upon seeing Venerable Pei Yan, the Universe Venerable hurriedly rose and bowed respectfully. "Greetings, Divine General Pei Yan!"
