Beast Taming Tower

Chapter 2523 Offering a Helping Hand, Each with Their Own Hidden agendas

Chen Xuan looked astonished.

He hadn't expected Zhu Pin'er to be so informal.

With just a few words, I decided to ask him for help.

However, for Chen Xuan, helping out was not a difficult task.

"Hehe, since you've asked, Fairy Zhu, I naturally can't refuse."

"However, I am quite curious. What kind of help do you, a Golden Immortal-level Immortal Talisman Master, need from me?"

Chen Xuan asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, a flash of anger crossed Zhu Xun'er's beautiful eyes.

She quickly composed herself and began to explain.

"Brother Chen, I believe you've heard Fairy Yu Luo mention a fellow named Wei Tianhong, haven't you?"

"This person is also a talisman master. Moreover, his skill in talismanic arts is quite remarkable!"

"Back then, when I was stranded on Star Origin Island, I met Fairy Yu Luo. Together, we entered an ancient cave to search for treasure!"

"But unexpectedly, we discovered the inheritance of ancient immortal talismans!"

"Fairy Yu Luo is so generous, she gave me the inheritance of the ancient immortal talisman!"

"That's why my skills in the art of talismans improved by leaps and bounds."

"But somehow this matter reached Wei Tianhong's ears."

"This guy actually tried every means to snatch back the talisman inheritance in my hands."

"However, I've been staying on Xingyuan Island all these years. Wei Tianhong naturally can't do anything to me!"

"But that Wei Tianhong has repeatedly targeted the people around me!"

"If Brother Chen hadn't met Fairy Yu Luo, my dearest friend would probably have perished in the Boundless Sea."

At this point, a cold killing intent flashed in Zhu Xun'er's eyes.

It seems she also hates Wei Tianhong to the core!

Chen Xuan did not ask any questions, but sat quietly to the side, listening to Zhu Xun'er continue.

"Not long ago, Wei Tianhong sent someone with a challenge letter. He intends to decide the ownership of the ancient talismanic arts inheritance through a sparring match!"

"I also think this matter can't be left unresolved. We need to find a solution!"

"Therefore, I would like to invite Brother Chen to lend me a hand and participate in the duel with Wei Tianhong."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan did not rush to reply to Zhu Pin'er.

After pondering for a long time, Chen Xuan said, "Since Wei Tianhong is a Celestial Talisman Master, he must have a group of powerful followers. Do you know Wei Tianhong's own cultivation level? And what about the cultivation levels of the powerful figures around him?"

Chen Xuan tapped the armrest of the chair lightly, his expression unusually solemn.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xun'er's beautiful eyes quickly turned to Fairy Yu Luo.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Yu Luo quickly replied, "Fellow Daoist Chen, Wei Tianhong indeed has many powerful figures under his command. Among them are three late-stage Golden Immortals at the Great Perfection realm, two half-step Great Luo Golden Immortals, and quite a few late-stage Golden Immortals as well!"

Chen Xuan pondered for a moment before smiling and saying, "Three late-stage Golden Immortals at the Great Perfection stage, two half-step Grand Luo Golden Immortals, and quite a few late-stage Golden Immortals. It seems this Wei Tianhong is truly quite capable!"

"No wonder you haven't been able to do anything to this person all this time!"

"However, since you've asked, Fairy Zhu, I can't refuse to help you!"

"Just reply to Wei Tianhong and agree on a time to make your move. I will naturally lend you a hand!"

Chen Xuan explained with a smile.

Zhu Xun'er and Fairy Yu Luo were overjoyed.

He thanked them repeatedly.

Soon, Zhu Xun'er took out a communication talisman, said a few words, and handed it to Zhou Changlong.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Changlong quickly left with the communication talisman.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Xuan chatted with the two women for a while before Fairy Yu Luo took her leave.

Only Chen Xuan and Zhu Pin'er remained in the cave.

"Brother Chen, where have you been all these years? Why do I feel that wherever you've gone, you've done quite well?"

Zhu Pin'er looked at Chen Xuan and asked curiously.

"Hehe, Fairy Zhu is too kind. I've actually been through quite a lot to have this opportunity. There have been countless life-or-death situations alone!"

"Fortunately, I'm tough enough to survive all of this."

Chen Xuan explained with a smile.

Taking this opportunity, he briefly recounted his experiences over the years.

Even though Chen Xuan only casually mentioned some things that weren't very dangerous.

But Zhu Pin'er was still deeply shocked after hearing it.

"No wonder your cultivation has improved so quickly, Brother Chen. It turns out you've been teetering on the edge of life and death every day!"

"However, Brother Chen, you are ultimately alone. I will need to find some helpers in the coming days!"

Zhu Pin'er smiled.

Chen Xuan nodded, without saying anything more.

After chatting with Zhu Pin'er for a while, Chen Xuan stayed in Zhu Pin'er's cave and found a secret room to cultivate in seclusion.

Wow!

With a casual wave of his hand, Chen Xuan activated the protective array he had personally set up.

Taking this opportunity, Chen Xuan activated the Heavenly Illusion Demon Eye and carefully examined the situation in the secret chamber.

It was confirmed that there were no problems in the locked room.

Only then did he have a thought and return to the Immortal Beast Tower space.

After casually finding a place to sit down by the cold pond, Chen Xuan's expression became unusually serious.

"I was fortunate enough to encounter Fairy Yu Luo in the Boundless Sea. And through Fairy Yu Luo, I found Fairy Xiao Zhu!"

"This whole thing seems far too coincidental!"

"However, I don't have the mind to think about these things carefully."

"With a major battle imminent, I need to prepare some contingency plans for myself!"

Chen Xuan smiled slightly.

The next instant, he directly activated the Five Elements Dao Source Pearl and the Lightning Dao Source Pearl in his dantian.

Soon, Chen Xuan fully activated the immense power of the fire and lightning rules.

And they gathered in Chen Xuan's palm.

A round bead the size of a longan suddenly appeared in Chen Xuan's palm.

As the power of fire and lightning rules accumulates, more and more power gathers.

A terrifying destructive power also emerged from the orb that Chen Xuan activated.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was refining a replica of the Ancient Thunderflame Pearl.

Last time, when dealing with the four little kings of the Black Crow Clan, the replica of the Ancient Thunder Flame Pearl helped Chen Xuan a lot.

Although Chen Xuan was using a variety of attack methods at this moment.

However, Chen Xuan also planned to prepare more attack methods.

Be prepared!

Chen Xuan only stopped after he had refined more than a dozen replicas of the Ancient Thunderflame Pearls in one go.

"With these replicas of the Ancient Thunderflame Pearls, that should be about right."

"But I always felt that Wei Tianhong was not a simple person."

"Little Fairy Zhu and Fairy Yu Luo are on good terms. However, Fairy Yu Luo, as the daughter of the Star Origin Island Lord, was almost killed by Wei Tianhong!"

"This matter...is not quite normal!"

After secretly sorting out the ins and outs of the matter, Chen Xuan suddenly smiled coldly, as if something had occurred to him.

……

Outside Xingyuan Island, on a small, deserted island.

A middle-aged man with snow-white hair was sitting cross-legged on a huge rock on a deserted island.

Two powerful individuals at the half-step Great Luo Golden Immortal realm stood guard beside him.

This middle-aged man was Wei Tianhong.

At that moment, a figure suddenly shot out from the distant sea.

It was Zhou Changlong who helped Zhu Pin'er sell the magic talismans.

"Greetings, senior!"

Zhou Changlong looked at Wei Tianhong and quickly bowed respectfully to him.

But Wei Tianhong acted as if he didn't see Zhou Changlong at all.

He couldn't even be bothered to lift his eyelids.

However, a half-step Great Luo Golden Immortal standing behind him sneered, "That woman surnamed Zhu actually sent you to deliver a challenge? It seems she's found an accomplice?"

"Reporting to Senior, Fairy Zhu has indeed found a helper. However, he is an unfamiliar young man whose cultivation is only at the late Golden Immortal stage!"

"A mere late-stage Golden Immortal? Yet this gives the man surnamed Zhu such confidence? It seems this person is no ordinary individual. Do you have any other information?"

"This...Reporting to Senior, all I know is that this person's surname is Chen. I know nothing else! However, I have heard that this Senior Chen once saved Fairy Yu Luo!"

"Is that so? It seems he's quite capable. In that case, leave the challenge here, and you can go back."

"Yes, senior!"

"Zhou Changlong, remember your place. You're one of us. If we find out you dared to side with that Zhu guy, don't blame us for being impolite!"

"Rest assured, senior, I have never forgotten my identity!"

"Okay, let's go back!"

"Yes, senior!"

Zhou Changlong agreed and then sped off towards Xingyuan Island.

However, the half-step Great Luo Golden Immortal who was talking to Zhou Changlong looked at Zhou Changlong's back and immediately asked Wei Tianhong, "Should I take action and finish him off? That old bastard Zhou Changlong has been working for that Zhu guy all these years. I feel that he's more loyal to that Zhu guy than to us!"

"Forget it. He's the spy we've painstakingly planted around that Zhu guy all these years. If we get rid of him, it'll be even harder for us to find out anything about him."

Wei Tianhong shook his head and refused outright.

After a moment, Wei Tianhong seemed to remember something and gave a cold laugh.

"Hehe, that Zhu fellow is really naive. However, since she has agreed to fight us, we certainly can't let such a good opportunity pass us by."

“Go back and tell that person. If our plan succeeds this time, I, Wei Tianhong, will definitely keep my promise to her!”

"But I don't want her to go back on her word!"

The expert at the half-step Great Luo Golden Immortal realm nodded.

His figure flickered and disappeared in a flash.

Wei Tianhong, however, looked in the direction of Xingyuan Island and smiled strangely.

"Things are getting more and more interesting. The most unfathomable thing in the world is the human heart!"

……

Several days later, Chen Xuan, who was in seclusion for cultivation, was awakened by Zhu Pin'er.

When Chen Xuan came out of the secret room, he found Zhu Pin'er talking to Fairy Yu Luo in the living room.

At this moment, there were five powerful experts at the late-stage Golden Immortal realm sitting in the living room.

It was the helper that Zhu Pin'er had found.

Chen Xuan's gaze swept over these people.

He was surprised to see that these guys all had an incredibly strong aura of malevolence emanating from them.

"Who are these fellow cultivators?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Pin'er quickly explained, "Brother Chen, these fellow Daoists are helpers that I asked Fairy Yu Luo to find. They are all renowned hunters on Star Origin Island. They have slain powerful demonic beasts of the same level as them!"

"With their help this time, our success rate will be much higher!"

Zhu Pin'er said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan immediately laughed heartily. After exchanging names with everyone, he said with a smile, "Little Fairy Zhu, now that everything is ready, shouldn't we set off?"

"Hehe, Brother Chen, you really are in such a hurry. Since you've said so, let's set off right away!"

Zhu Pin'er smiled happily.

Together with Chen Xuan, they led the group away at breakneck speed.

After leaving Xingyuan Island, the group flew eastward for tens of thousands of miles before finally appearing above a huge deserted island.

At this moment, seven or eight powerful individuals were already waiting on the deserted island.

It was none other than Wei Tianhong and his group, who had challenged Zhu Pin'er to a duel.

Upon seeing Zhu Pin'er and the others arrive, Wei Tianhong's mocking voice suddenly rang out.

"Haha... Fairy Zhu really keeps her word. It seems she's confident she can defeat us this time?"
