025- Going to the forest

Inside the walls of the holy city were countless cultivators not a single mortal can be seen even the guards patrolling the gates were all cultivators of the golden core realm.

" Have you set the donations. " Xuegong's sect elder said as he commanded several disciples to form the array.

" a total of 100,000 rank 3 qi stones have been encrypted we await your command." a disciple said

" Sect master !" the elder said as he saw an old man walking with 3 other sect elders. " we shall start the formation, the royal family has started suspecting us we must not let this day come to waste."

" We still need 300,000 rank 3 qi stones for the last step. " the sect elder said before walking towards the sect master. " Tell the other disciples to gather from the mines, I do not believe that we cannot find that amount for the rest sect elder I want you to see to it that this amount will be gathered by the end of this month in whatever possible way."

The sect elder nodded if ancestor roger was still alive he would know this sect elder as his old master.

Zoey and co have now landed at No field and headed to the person who sent this request. " This should be the location". A large mansion of more than 50,000 square feet with majestic walls and designs stands erected. " It is said in this letter that we will help the requester find a magic beast ?"

When Zoe's group arrived the guards quickly noticed them stopping them on their tracts, but when Zoe showed the request letter and judging from their inner court robes he let them in.

The mansion owner and his family greeted them.

With a little chat inside the living room, they learned that the request was actually sent by his daughter who wishes to find a magical beast egg in the middle of the desolate forest.

" We have already gotten all the way here, so why not we shall leave tomorrow," Zoey said.

Their group was escorted to their individual guest rooms.

" father they look so powerful, and even if their faces are covered by a veil I believe that they will look very beautiful." her daughter said.

The father smiled. He was worried at first but when he took a glimpse of Zoey's group he could not and was surprised by their individual cultivations he was not able to gather Zoey's cultivation.

but Emma's and Aliza's cultivation alone made him shock " Stage 7 and 5 of the soul-shattering realm respectively. "

The next day 3 rank 2 beast carriage can be seen at the entrance of the castle it was followed by more than 20 stage soul-shattering realms. " Why does the daughter of the castle need such a big envoy." zoey thought to herself.

Zoe and co were situated inside the same carriage as the daughter of the castle she introduced herself as Hattie Reid. When there was no one else inside Zoe's group revealed their appearance when Hattie saw their looks she was completely starstruck she was known to be beautiful herself but if she was to compare herself with zoe's group she feels inferior but she wasn't jealous at all. The journey was more than a week-long so they chat along the way Zoe told many stories of her time inside the sect.

" May I ask why you require an inner court disciple, with your families help I think they are more than capable of helping you." Emma asked.

" Well to be honest my father is not at his peak right now, and my grandfather is in secluded isolation the magical beast was last seen 2 weeks ago the place we are headed was its last seen location. "

" May I ask what kind of beast we are talking about ?". This was the first time zoe and co. heard of magical beast William nor Jackson mentioned this to them.

" It is a dragon."

" A Dragon !" Zoe's group was shocked.

" Well a flood dragon to be precise and is there are rumors that it isolated to the forest after is battle with the ruler of the ocean and is severely injured. "

" A flood dragon, is still a dragon it is a very dangerous creature even injured." Zoe said.

" There has been many hunters for the past 3 months, but so far none have been able to kill or tame it." Hattie said.

several days later they reached the first location it was in the deepest part of the forest and most of the monsters that they have encountered so far were of the 9th stage qi foundation realm, but when they reached the deep area there have been sightings of peak rank 2 beast which they could not possible defeat. (peak rank 2= 9th stage soul shattering realm)

"Young lady, we found trail of battle at this location and it seems like it was from a week ago." Hattie's dao protector said.

" The beast must had moved its area, let us follow its trail."
