Chapter 2039: Would You Be Willing to Be Our Sect Leader?

"Acknowledging a master?"

"Elder Liu wants it to acknowledge a master?"

Sect Leader Kui Xiao and Elder Feng Qian exchanged glances, full of surprise.

A pseudo-god realm celestial beast, proud beyond measure—they had only ever thought of slaying it. Acknowledging a master... unless you were one of those beast-taming masters from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, how could you design a trap for it and make it submit?

Moreover, for a celestial beast of this level, even if the new sect leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, Zheng Yang, came in person, he probably couldn't tame it!

Sure enough, just as they had guessed, upon hearing Zhang Xuan's words, the Xuanbei Turtle's face turned dark and gloomy, like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment: "You want me to acknowledge you as master? Let's see if you have the strength..."

Boom!

With a roar, it charged over.

"Seal!"

Zhang Xuan didn't move, just pointed a finger.

Whoosh!

Energy gathered from all around, and the massive Xuanbei Turtle was instantly sealed in the water not far away, like a frozen fish, struggling in vain.

"Submit to me, or be killed!" Zhang Xuan said, sealing it with the formation.

"Kill me if you can!"

The Xuanbei Turtle retracted its neck, pulling its head and limbs all into its shell.

As a pseudo-god realm expert, its shell was comparable to a pseudo-god realm weapon, indestructible. Once it hid inside, what could the opponent do even if trapped?

They couldn't kill it either!

A pseudo-god realm being had its own dignity. Acknowledging someone with such a lower cultivation as master... dream on!

Moreover, the formation sealing it required energy to maintain. If it held out for a while without forcefully charging, it would automatically dissolve.

"You think that's enough to stop me?" Having long anticipated this move, Zhang Xuan clapped his hands: "Little Yellow Chicken, come out and receive guests!"

"Coming!"

Little Yellow Chicken waddled out, swaying its rear.

Sect Leader Kui Xiao and Elder Feng Qian blinked.

A peak immortal sovereign little chicken?

Even if this chicken was of a decent level, it was only the size of a palm. What use could it be?

Ignoring their shock, the yellow chicken clucked and climbed onto the turtle's back. After climbing less than half a meter, the water currents surged, and it fell to the ground.

Its thumb-sized wings flapped twice, and it climbed again, another half meter, only to fall once more.

"..."

Sect Leader Kui Xiao pulled out several strands of hair.

This thing...

Could it deal with a pseudo-god realm Xuanbei Turtle?

You must be joking!

Not only did he have that expression, but the Xuanbei Turtle also quietly poked its head out from its shell, looking utterly bewildered.

You can tame me... but don't insult me!

After all, I am a pseudo-god realm immortal beast roaming the continent, a powerhouse of extraordinary strength!

Even the two pseudo-god realm sect leaders were powerless before me...

If you want to tame me, you can use any means, but the result... you called a chicken!

The point is... even if you called a real one, that would be fine, since it's seduction, but what is this thing?

Oh, right, this damn thing is a real chicken!

Genuine, no substitute.

The Black-backed Turtle was indescribably frustrated.

If not for the severe loss of strength, physical injuries, and inability to break the seal, it would have long rushed up and torn this fool to pieces—how could it allow such humiliation!

After climbing twice more and falling to the ground each time, the little yellow chicken stopped and turned its head to look at Zhang Xuan: "Don't you know chickens can't swim? Come over and help!"

"..." Zhang Xuan.

When you were being boiled in the pot, weren't you swimming quite happily?

Too lazy to argue with it, he stepped forward twice, came up to it, pinched the little yellow chicken's neck, and flung it hard: "Go you!"

Whoosh!

The little yellow chicken immediately landed on the huge turtle's back, "splat!", crashing into a heap.

"Alright, hurry up..." Zhang Xuan frowned.

"Don't worry!"

Nodding, the little yellow chicken stood on the turtle's back, which was hundreds of meters in diameter, and suddenly opened its small mouth.

Whoosh!

A mouth that was originally only the size of a thumbnail instantly became hundreds of meters wide, and the huge turtle shell was swallowed in one gulp.

Then... the Black-backed Turtle looked as if its body was covered in yellow fur.

"Alright, eaten..."

The little yellow chicken's thumb-sized wings fluttered again.

"Eaten... I asked you to help tame it, who told you to eat it?"

Zhang Xuan was speechless.

This guy really was as unreliable as before...

I asked you to help tame it, scare it a bit, not eat it!

If you eat it, who will I tame?

He went over and slapped it: "Spit it out, spit it out..."

"Fine!"

The little yellow chicken looked dejected, its belly churned, and it spat out the Black-backed Turtle again.

The huge sea turtle was already half-dead, its head poking out from the shell, full of confusion.

Who am I, where am I?

"Submit to me!"

Zhang Xuan approached.

"You're dreaming..." the sea turtle gritted its teeth.

"Alright, you can continue eating!"

Zhang Xuan waved his hand: "I have no objections..."

The little yellow chick opened its beak again.

"I... acknowledge you as master!"

Trembling, the Dark-backed Turtle hurriedly spoke.

It had no choice but to concede. A mighty pseudo-god realm expert, being eaten by a chicken... it couldn't afford to lose face as a turtle!

"That's more like it!"

Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction and performed the master-recognition ritual.

The Kuixiao Sect Leader and Fengqian Elder on the side gaped as if they had seen a ghost.

Tamed just like that?

This little chick... was so strong?

Originally, they thought he had brought out the chick just to annoy the opponent, but they never expected it could casually swallow such a huge Dark-backed Turtle... How was that possible?

Could it be...

That Elder Liu had been able to take away the pseudo-god realm iron chain earlier also because of this chick?

"Alright, you're too big. Shrink down!"

After the master-recognition was complete, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and said.

"Yes!"

The Dark-backed Turtle gently shook and shrank to a diameter of two meters.

Zhang Xuan flipped his wrist and took out a few bottles of Yellow Chick bathwater, handing them over: "Swallow this..."

With his master's order, the Dark-backed Turtle dared not refuse. It swallowed them, and after a moment, looked astonished.

The injuries it had sustained were extremely severe. After continuous collisions, its internal organs were damaged, and its physical state was less than a tenth of before. It never imagined that drinking this stuff would allow it to recover completely in the blink of an eye.

Now it was full of strength again!

"A deity? A divine beast?"

Looking at its master again, its gaze was completely different.

Earlier, it had only thought it couldn't lose face as a turtle and was forced to acknowledge the master, not truly submitting in its heart. But now, it was filled with fear.

That little yellow chick could easily swallow it. Although it appeared to be only at the peak of Immortal Lord level, in reality, it must far surpass it!

It was already at the pseudo-god realm, and to be far surpassed... other than a divine beast, it couldn't think of anything else!

Taming a young divine beast... this master must also be extraordinary!

Ignoring the shocked Dark-backed Turtle, Zhang Xuan flickered and appeared not far away. He pinched the three peak Immortal Lord swords that Bai Xuan had shot out earlier, gently flicked them a few times, and after three sword cries, they all submitted.

Whoosh!

He put them into his storage ring.

After doing this, he took out another beast pet bag, put the Dark-backed Turtle and the little yellow chick inside, and returned to Kuixiao Sect Leader: "This silver diamond crystal was obtained at great cost by you. Now I return it to its original owner..."

Since the Dark-backed Turtle was tamed, he couldn't give it away. This item was obtained at great cost by the other party, so taking it would be embarrassing.

"This..."

Taking it, Kuixiao Sect Leader's face reddened.

He had thought that with his strength and prior preparations, killing the Dark-backed Turtle this time would be easy. He never dreamed that he would almost die here.

This man, using only an array and a chicken, had easily resolved the situation and even tamed it. His ability was terrifying!

"What about Sect Leader Bai Xuan?"

Zhang Xuan looked over.

Earlier, this Sect Leader Bai had been knocked half-dead by the Dark-backed Turtle and was still lying with his head buried in the mud, unconscious.

"If he finds out we tamed the Dark-backed Turtle, the relationship between the two sects will inevitably turn sour... Better to leave now!" After a moment's hesitation, Kuixiao Sect Leader said.

Since the other party had been unconscious when they emerged from hiding, he probably didn't know who they were.

The Seven Star Tower and the Xuanjing Sect had always had good relations. If a major conflict arose because of this, it would not be worth it.

After all... this man had taken the other party's pseudo-god realm weapon. If he woke up and asked for it back, should they return it or not?

Better to play dumb. After all, he didn't know who they were!

"Leave?" Zhang Xuan frowned, then suddenly flickered and appeared before the unconscious Bai Xuan. He pulled him out of the mud, his eyes lighting up as he yanked off the storage ring from his finger: "Who..."

As the ring was pulled off, Bai Xuan suddenly woke up with a furious shout, but before his eyelids even opened, the back of his head was struck.

Thud!

He fell unconscious again.

Zhang Xuan withdrew his hand, took the storage ring, and returned to Kuixiao Sect Leader: "Let's go!"

This guy casually threw out a pseudo-god realm weapon and three peak Immortal Lord swords. Obviously, he was a rich man.

Since he didn't know who they were, they might as well rob him clean!

Even if he found out later, he could only be grateful that they had saved his life. Otherwise, he would have been killed by the Dark-backed Turtle.

"This..."

He didn't expect Elder Liu to be so greedy. Kuixiao Sect Leader shook his head helplessly but ultimately said nothing and flew straight toward the sea surface.

Leaving the Small Mirror Sea and seeing the full moon reflected on the water, Fengqian Elder and the other both felt a chill down their spines.

These mirror-like gleaming mayflies, which they had originally thought were insignificant little things, they never imagined possessed such astonishing power!

Once united, even a pseudo-god realm weapon couldn't withstand them!

If Elder Liu hadn't detected it in advance, they might have ended up like Bai Xuan—not only stripped clean and unconscious, but possibly even dead on the spot!

Realizing this, they looked at the young man before them with full admiration.

"What do you think?"

Suddenly, Kuixiao Sect Leader turned to Fengqian Elder and asked.

"Very good!" Seeming to know what he meant, Fengqian Elder nodded: "I'm convinced!"

"Then it's settled."

Smiling, Kuixiao Sect Leader looked at Zhang Xuan again: "Elder Liu, I have a request. I wonder if you would agree?"

Zhang Xuan frowned.

"I wonder..."

Pausing for a moment, Kuixiao Sect Leader did not hesitate and said directly: "Would you be willing to take my place and become the Sect Leader of our Seven Star Tower?"
