I Have A Trillion Protagonist Halos - Chapter 180: Departing For The Holy Land

The Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch is a good person? He voluntarily gave the Sect’s treasured items and the guardian beast to Friend Su?

A twitch appeared at the corner of Chu Xuanyi’s mouth as he glanced at the thunder lion, now resembling a pig’s head. Associating this with Su Zhan’s recent actions, he had a pretty good guess about most of it but was momentarily at a loss for words.

On the other side, Nie Yuan was utterly bewildered.

Of course, he was aware of Beast-taming Mountain, the strongest force within tens of thousands of miles around!

The Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch, while not known for cruelty or malevolence, had led the Beast-taming Mountain to conquer many forces far and wide, subduing countless experts including many half-Saints.

To think he’s a good person??? This was beyond belief!

Moreover, even if the Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch was indeed benevolent, it wouldn’t make sense for him to give away a top-grade king-tier beast ring and the guardian beast, right?

If it were true, then the Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch wasn’t a good person, but rather, a complete fool! Nie Yuan murmured inwardly, feeling immensely puzzled.

“The Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch is unexpectedly so kind!” Zhang Ling also appeared surprised. “I was worried that he might harm you, Su Brother. It turns out he’s a good person! Hey, Su Brother, what’s wrong with the face of this big lion?”

As she spoke, she noticed the fresh blood on the thunder lion’s face, which hadn’t dried yet. Its head had swollen noticeably. So Zhang Ling asked curiously.

“Alas! This beast is too ferocious. I couldn’t tame it even with my beast-taming technique. Forced by circumstances, I had to give it a couple of punches. Otherwise, how could I have tamed it?” Su Zhan sighed.

Chu Xuanyi couldn’t help but say, “Friend Su, are you sure it was only a couple of punches?”

“More or less! Even though I hit it, it seemed pretty happy. Don’t believe me? Ask it yourself.”

Su Zhan patted the thunder lion’s head. “Right?”

The thunder lion winced from the pain, recalling being beaten up by Su Zhan earlier. Tears welled up in its eyes as it nodded and conveyed a resentful mental message, “Yes, I was very happy…”

“But…” Zhang Ling tilted her head, hesitating. “I think it looks like it’s about to cry?”

“This is tears of joy, indicating that it’s extremely happy!” Su Zhan explained earnestly.

“I see!” Zhang Ling nodded.

Looking at the pitiful state of the thunder lion, Nie Yuan had considerable doubts about Su Zhan’s words. He swallowed a couple of times, but in the end, he didn’t dare to continue asking.

“Friend Su, I just want to ask one question.”

Chu Xuanyi’s expression was peculiar. “Is that good-hearted Patriarch from Beast-taming Mountain still alive?”

“He’s alive and well. Speaking of which, Friend Chu, your previous guess was indeed incorrect! Even though I’ve broken through to the Fourth Transformation of the Fish-Dragon Realm, that one strike merely shattered that Patriarch’s lifesource item. It’s still too difficult to achieve a one-strike kill on a Saint.” Su Zhan recalled and explained.

“Hiss~” Nie Yuan suddenly inhaled a cold breath.

Although he knew that Su Zhan was extremely abnormal, he couldn’t have anticipated that less than a month ago, Su Zhan, who could only defeat the Third Transformation Realm, was now capable of overcoming a Saint!

And to think that one strike shattered the Saint Patriarch’s lifesource item…

As he thought about this, Nie Yuan couldn’t restrain his excitement and a hint of anticipation. “Lord Su, since you could shatter the Saint Patriarch’s lifesource item with one strike, wouldn’t your second strike be able to kill him?”

Su Zhan shook his head, somewhat regretful. “He didn’t give me a chance for a second strike. He knelt down on the ground and sincerely repented for his mistake, even giving me their sect’s treasured item. After all, I’m not someone who enjoys killing. I thought it over and decided not to execute a second strike.”

As these words came out, Nie Yuan suddenly realized.

No wonder, no wonder the Beast-taming Mountain Patriarch gave the Beast Ring and the guardian beast to Lord Su…

A good person? When you’re nearly beaten to death, can you not be a good person?

Nie Yuan gave a wry smile, finally understanding it all.

Upon hearing Su Zhan’s words, Zhang Ling exclaimed, “Isn’t it said that Saints are very powerful? People who aren’t Saints can’t even hurt a single hair on a Saint’s head! How could Su Brother possibly defeat a Saint?”

“That’s all false.”

Su Zhan ruffled the little girl’s hair. “However, it’s true that Saints are indeed very formidable. At least, I can’t kill one with just one strike.”

Chu Xuanyi’s mouth twitched. He recalled the horrifying strike Su Zhan had unleashed on the Void Spirit Lake that day. Sighing, he turned to the bewildered Zhang Ling. “Little Miss Ling, your brother Su didn’t speak incorrectly. Those who can withstand his strike and survive… are truly impressive!”

“But Su Brother isn’t a Saint, why would he be even more powerful than a Saint?” The little girl was even more puzzled now.

After a few seconds, something occurred to her. Stars appeared in her eyes, and she looked at Su Zhan with admiration.

“I understand now! Su Brother is actually a reincarnation of a celestial sword immortal, right? It must be true! I’ve heard storytellers say that sword immortals are amazing! They can split the sea with a single strike, slay true dragons, and even…”

“Alright, alright. Practice more in your daily life and don’t listen to those nonsense.” Su Zhan chuckled.

Zhang Ling said with an “Oh” and didn’t continue. However, her gaze toward Su Zhan had clearly become even more worshipful.

Su Brother must be a reincarnation of a celestial sword immortal! Even though he denies it, it must be true!

Thinking back to the thrilling stories of sword immortals told by storytellers, and how there was always a girl accompanying the sword immortal in those stories, a satisfied smile appeared on Zhang Ling’s small face.

Afterward, they chatted for a while longer and prepared to head to the Holy Land.

Chu Xuanyi observed the thunder lion, which was currently licking its own paw, and said, “Su Friend, this thunder lion is already injured. You don’t intend to ride it to the Holy Land, do you?”

“That’s just a superficial injury. I’ve already treated it with medicine, and it won’t hinder its movement. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to ride it back here.” Su Zhan shook his head and explained, “Moreover, I’ve calculated it. By the time we reach the Holy Land from here, it should be mostly healed. It won’t have any impact!”

“But won’t it be in pain?”

“Pain?”

Su Zhan turned to the thunder lion and asked, “Are you in pain?”

“It looks in excruciating pain!”

Seeing that someone was speaking up for it and perhaps avoiding this ordeal, the thunder lion quickly nodded and cast a grateful glance at Chu Xuanyi.

“I see…”

Su Zhan shook his head with some regret. “In that case, it’s of no use, Friend Chu. I’m actually quite skilled at roasting meat, and the flesh of a Half-Saint level beast should be pretty good. Let’s stay here for half a day, eat our fill, and then continue on!”

Just as he finished speaking, the thunder lion’s pupils suddenly contracted, and it sent out a message filled with intense fear, “No! No! This kind of pain means nothing to me! Even if I have to run a hundred thousand miles, it’s not a problem!”

Su Zhan asked, “Friend Chu, how far is it from here to the Heavenly Profound Holy Land?”

“I’m not sure, but it’s at least over a million miles away.” Chu Xuanyi thought for a moment and replied.

“Over a million miles. Can you handle that?”

“A million miles…”

Su Zhan looked at the thunder lion.

The latter’s tears swirled in its eyes as it sent a pitiful message, “I… can!”

“That’s good.” Su Zhan nodded.

Then, Chu Xuanyi set up a special formation on the thunder lion’s back to block the excessive wind caused by its high speed and stabilize the area to prevent excessive turbulence. The three of them settled onto the broad back of the thunder lion.

The thunder lion, towering over fifty or sixty meters, leaped down from the main peak of the Sole Sword Sect. Guided by Chu Xuanyi, they headed toward the only Holy Land of the Tianxuan Empire, the Heavenly Profound Holy Land!
