Fierce Lion City is the territory of the Immortal Beast Sect in Dongyue.
Initially, Carson Flores had been apprehensive, after all, he had killed a disciple of the Dongyue before. What if he ran into someone in Fierce Lion City?
But now that Daxton Campbell had allowed him to travel the world under the identity of his disciple, Carson was no longer afraid.
Even if he did bump into someone, so what? If he was discovered, so what? If you’re not satisfied, kill me, and watch my master chop you down!
People with backing are just that cocky!
As long as he wasn’t cornered in some remote place with no escape, unable to send out a message, whoever wanted to make a move would have to hold some reservations.
After all, if you kill someone in public, you can’t cover it up. What do you do when their master comes knocking on your door afterward?
Although Daxton Campbell was a loner by nature, his strength was formidable. He was a top influencer with a well-known reputation throughout the Cultivation Realm.
After saying goodbye to Delaney Hunter and giving a nod to Situ Xiu, Carson Flores boarded a commercial passenger ship headed for Fierce Lion City.
Carson brought the Snow Dragon Leopard King on board with him; as soon as they boarded, all eyes on the ship turned their way.
"Snow Dragon Leopard King!"
"A Nascent Soul Level beast!"
"He must be a disciple of the Immortal Beast Sect, the nearby famous beast taming sect is the Immortal Beast Sect."
The crew came forward and led Carson to the top floor of the passenger area.
"Please control your beast and have it stay in the pen. Do not let it leave this floor, so as not to frighten the other passengers."
The pen was not entirely enclosed; it was more about delineating a designated area where the beast could rest, with the owner ensuring it does not leave the space.
Dragon, without needing Carson’s instructions, trotted into the pen and lay down, closing his eyes and continuing to sleep peacefully.
About half a year ago, Carson Flores had a battle with the Skyrobber Aurora Society. Dragon and Josy fought in that battle, ultimately gaining several Golden Cores and even Nascent Souls, a huge harvest.
Dragon slept for three months. When he woke up, his body had grown larger, and his strength had increased once more, now comparable to a Mid-Nascent Soul stage Cultivator.
Josy slept for four months, digesting all the Golden Cores and Nicholas Roth’s Nascent Soul, and her power had also recovered to the Nascent Soul Stage.
Carrying two Nascent Soul Level bodyguards was precisely why Carson dared to travel alone to Mount Kahdas.
The Snow Dragon Leopard King was massive and highly noticeable, attracting attention wherever it went, reinforcing Carson’s determination to acquire a couple of Beast Taming Bags.
Thankfully, the Snow Dragon Leopard King could understand human speech, and after spending time together, it had become increasingly obedient. But no one knew what sort of character the soon-to-be-born Logan Moss would have. Delaney had said it herself, hadn’t she? Logan Moss was a notorious arsonist in the Barbaric Wilderness Realm, igniting fires wherever he went. If Carson kept it with him all the time, he feared he wouldn’t be able to keep up with the messes it made.
Before leaving, Delaney gave Carson two million Spirit Stones, the fruits of her recent endeavors hunting various beasts in the Barbaric Wilderness Realm.
After advancing to Divinity Transformation, Delaney’s rate of earning by killing beasts had increased significantly.
Adding to Carson’s own scattered Spirit Stones, he now had a total of approximately 2.6 million Spirit Stones, Delaney’s travel fund for him.
After cultivating peacefully in his room for the better part of the day, as evening approached, Carson left his room, ready to head downstairs to the dining room for dinner.
Just as Carson closed his door, the door of a nearby room opened, and a middle-aged man walked out. He smiled and nodded at Carson, who nodded in response.
After taking a few steps, the middle-aged man locked his door and hurried to catch up, "Young man, are you headed to dinner?"
Carson smiled, "Yeah, it’s about dinner time, isn’t it?"
The middle-aged man smiled, "How about we go together? Sitting on this ship alone is just boring to death."
Carson didn’t mind, but since the man had invited him, he nodded nonchalantly.
Walking side by side, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "My name is Mathias Combs. Young man, what should I call you?"
Mathias Combs smiled, "Where are you headed, Brother Carson?"
Mathias Combs’s eyes lit up, "Are you a disciple of the Immortal Beast Sect?"
Carson turned his head, looked at Mathias Combs’s expectant eyes, and shook his head, "I’m not, why do you ask?"
It seemed Mathias Combs was slightly disappointed, "I saw you with the Snow Dragon Leopard King. Usually, only beast taming sects would have such a skill, and the most famous one around here is the Immortal Beast Sect. That’s why I asked."
Carson laughed, "I don’t tame beasts. I met this Snow Dragon Leopard King through some fate, after it had spent some time with a senior. That’s how it came to understand human speech, and how I got acquainted with it. I haven’t tamed it."
Mathias Combs seemed to realize, his eyes filled with a touch of envy, "That’s quite a fortunate bond indeed. The Snow Dragon Leopard King is comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage ferocious beast. Having it by your side makes traveling much safer."
Carson nodded and casually asked, "It seems you are quite familiar with the Immortal Beast Sect?"
Mathias Combs chuckled, "I’m a businessman who travels everywhere. I’m quite familiar with the sects in Misrds State."
Carson smiled, "As a businessman who’s traveled far and wide, you must have broad horizons. Do you know if there are Beast Taming Bags for sale in Fierce Lion City?"
