In the past half-year, he had been cultivating, and so had the King Rat of the West, who had faithfully been consolidating his cultivation within the Fan Tower.
Therefore, after leaving the Great Yan Hall, Lu Qingshan first returned to Fan Tower to check on King Rat of the West and, finding the little demon deeply immersed in cultivation, he did not disturb it.
He could not bring King Rat of the West with him to the upcoming Seven Domains Dao Discussion.
Great Xia had implemented such a rule to prevent powerful clans or major factions from disrupting the order and balance of the contest by bringing high-rank demon beasts under the pretense of being their descendants' companions, without wanting to impact beast cultivators negatively.
Thus, it was established that cultivators could only bring contracted demon companions into the contests of the Seven Domains Dao Discussion.
And Lu Qingshan had not formed such a so-called contract with King Rat of the West.
