Chapter 291 - The Tree Monarch’s Phantom
A middle-aged man dressed in a purple brocade robe was blocking the flying vessel from advancing. He stood midair with his hands behind his back, likely possessing a unique beastmaster skill that allowed him to borrow power from his familiar.
“We are.”
Upon seeing this person, City Lord Tian, who stood at the front of the vessel, spoke with surprise.
“Qing Lianshan, so you’ve become Legendary as well. And you’ve kept it so low-key. There wasn’t even a single rumor about it.”
“I only broke through recently. My father is currently in seclusion, so I’ll be hosting the two of you. Is that acceptable?” Qing Lianshan asked.
“Of course. Why would there be an issue? Having someone as talented as you personally welcome us is an honor.” City Lord Tian responded with a smile.
City Lord Ye, City Lord Tian, and Qing Lianshan’s father belonged to the same generation. Although it was the son who had come to greet Ye and Tian, they did not find it inappropriate. Now that Qing Lianshan had become Legendary, generational distinctions no longer mattered.
“These must be your disciples, then.”
Qing Lianshan was slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected both of these Legendary beastmasters to have recently taken on disciples. As for them bringing their disciples to experience the Tree Monarch’s ruin, he didn’t mind. In truth, many self-proclaimed geniuses had come here to challenge it, yet all had ended in failure.
Over time, people had come to understand how difficult inheriting the Tree Monarch’s legacy truly was. They no longer expected to pass and simply used this place as a trial ground.
If he remembered correctly, City Lord Ye and City Lord Tian had also challenged the Tree Monarch Ruin in their youth and both had failed. Seeing them return now with their disciples was rather amusing.
