At this moment.
Somewhere else in the tavern's main hall, a few people sat down and caught Ye Tian's attention.
"You said that there are Tier 3 demonic beasts in Pingzhou Valley? However, he had been here for a few days, and he hadn't even seen the shadow of a demon beast!”
A woman in a gorgeous dress sat on the main seat and said angrily.
She looked like she was in her twenties, but she was tall and had a proud figure.
In addition to his handsome facial features and his ice-brown pupils, he looked even more unapproachable.
That's right, this person was the eldest princess of the Great Zhou Empire-Zhou Xue!
It was rumored that Zhou Xue also had a special constitution since she was young. She had displayed extraordinary talent since she was young and had reached the third layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm at the young age of eighteen!
This kind of cultivation speed, this kind of cultivation realm, he was undoubtedly outstanding among the young people of the Wind State!
Most importantly, she was only a year older than her brother, but her cultivation was much faster than his.
"Your Highness, our previous information and scouts did indeed report that this demon beast is nearby.”
"That's right. We don't know either. We don't know why this Demonic Beast suddenly disappeared. It must have suddenly changed its nest…"
"Perhaps when the scouts return, they might know about the Type 3 Horned Wolf King.”
The few of them looked at the woman in front of them with no respect in their eyes. They were all spouting nonsense.
The purpose of their trip was to leave the capital as Zhou Xue's follower and hunt for Tier 3 demonic beasts!
However, at this moment, these mere followers did not treat Zhou Xue with sincere respect. They did not show any respect at all.
"Humph! I don't think you guys are working together to deceive me, right?!”
Zhou Xue harrumphed coldly, and a hint of anger appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Her father, who was also the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, had decreed that whoever could kill a Tier 3 demonic beast first would obtain a Tier 3 magic sword, the Heaven-Resisting Sword!
This magic sword was at the third stage. Even in the entire Great Zhou Empire, there was only one of it!
Moreover, this magic sword was not just precious and rare…This magic sword also represented the identity of the future heir of the Great Zhou Empire!
According to the traditions of the Great Zhou Empire, only those who possessed the Imperial Sword could stay in the capital.
Therefore, Zhou Xue was determined to win this match!
But now, she did not even see the shadow of a Tier 3 demonic beast. This could not help but make her very angry.
The most important reason why she hadn't found them was that these followers were placed by her dear brother to prevent her from finding the demon beasts!
"How would we dare…Your Highness!"
"We are loyal to the princess. How could we lie to her?”
"This Tier 3 demon beast, the Horned Wolf King, is elusive. It will definitely take us a lot of time to find it.”
"Yeah, that Tier 3 demonic beast is a Horned Wolf King. Perhaps he changed his nest.”
His followers were all complaining and finding excuses.
However, they all knew that they were spies planted by the Second Prince to disrupt Zhou Xue's plans.
The longer she stalled her, the better. As long as Zhou Xue could not find the demon beast, she would not be able to complete the mission set by the emperor, and she would not be able to obtain the Imperial Sword.
Only by doing so could Zhou Tiance secure his position as the heir of the Great Martial Empire.
At this moment, an old man sitting next to Zhou Xue said,""Your Highness, there's no need to be so anxious. If you really can't find it…We'll just find the next one."
"State Preceptor, why are you saying this too?”
Zhou Xue was a little angry, but she felt more helpless.
According to the scouts, Zhou Tiance had already found traces of a Tier 3 Monster Beast deep within the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts.
It was estimated that they would be able to successfully eliminate the Tier 3 demonic beast soon.
The first person to obtain the Imperial Sword passed down by his father would probably be his younger brother, Zhou Tiance!
If the other party took the Heaven Defending Sword first, then according to the inheritance of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only the heir had the right to stay in the capital!
At that time, Zhou Xue's fate would be miserable. She might even be killed. If she was lucky, she might even be used as a tool to marry into another country!
"Princess, it's useless to be anxious now. Why don't you wait a little longer? Perhaps you'll have a chance tonight.”
The old man who was addressed as the state preceptor had a calm expression on his face. He only narrowed his eyes slightly to take care of his health. He did not care about Zhou Xue's question and answer.
It was obvious that he was on Jiao Tiance's side. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so disrespectful to Zhou Xue.
"Damn it…"
Zhou Xue gritted her teeth and felt a little helpless.
She could already tell from this trip that among her followers, there were probably not many who were truly loyal to her.
Not to mention killing a Tier 3 demonic beast, even if he found a Tier 3 demonic beast…It would probably be very difficult!
Ye Tian and Li Yu sat at a nearby table, listening to the news and guessing the identity of Zhou Xue's group.
However, they were not interested in the battle for the heir of the Great Zhou Dynasty. What interested them more was…It was still the Horned Wolf King that they were discussing.
"Master…The Horned Wolf King they were talking about, was it the one that Master gave me?”
Li Yu whispered to Ye Tian.
"Perhaps... It should be. There shouldn't be too many Tier 3 demonic beasts nearby.”
Ye Tian took a sip of his wine and nodded.
Logically speaking, these tier-three demonic beasts had a very strong sense of territory. It was impossible for a small place to have several tier-three demonic beasts.
So... If there were no accidents, there should be no accidents!
"Then should we remind them that this demonic beast is no longer around?”
Li Yu rolled her eyes and asked out of kindness.
She was still young, but she could not tell how those attendants and the state preceptor dealt with Zhou Xue.
However, out of kindness, she felt that it was necessary to remind this princess of the other party. She did not want the other party to waste his energy in vain.
However!
At this moment, a person dressed like an attendant ran in from outside. He rushed to Zhou Xue and knelt on one knee.
"Your Highness! Traces of the Horned Wolf King have been discovered in the south!"
"Traces found!"
Zhou Xue's beautiful eyes twitched as she stood up excitedly.
She had been waiting for this moment for a few days. Every day was torture. Now that she heard that a demon beast had appeared, she was happy.
Although her subordinates were not very respectful to her, the state preceptor was someone her uncle had spent a lot of money to hire to help, so he would more or less help.
Moreover, there were so many of them…It shouldn't be difficult to kill a Tier 3 Horned Wolf King!
"There is no time to lose. Princess, let's set off immediately.”
The state preceptor opened his eyes and stood up.
At the same time, a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
The other followers also seemed to understand and became excited for a moment. They picked up the magic treasures they carried with them and were extremely excited.
"Alright, let's set off now!"
Zhou Xue was a little excited. After waiting for so many days, there was finally news.
Therefore, she immediately gave the order to lead everyone and prepare to set off.
Li Yu couldn't help but feel curious, asking Ye Tian,""Master, this Horned Wolf King…Didn't you kill it? Why do they have another one?”
"It was killed by me. The Tier 3 Demonic Beast they were talking about…It should be fake."
Ye Tian glanced at her, seeing through her lies.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Tier 3 demonic beasts to form groups!
He had already killed one, so it was unlikely that another one would appear nearby!
If there was, he should have met it long ago and not by this group of people from the Great Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, the news that the attendant came to report was most likely fake.
Moreover, he felt a faint killing intent from the auras of those few people just now, and this killing intent was not targeted at demon beasts…It was targeted at the little girl in the gorgeous dress!
