Cultivation Pet Shop

After the fourth army left, the eighth army also started on their task.

The generals had created many rescue teams that were now spreading out among the remains of the planets that had been destroyed, looking for any survivors.

Lin Fan's ship was kept back where they had made their base to make sure that it was safe.

And to make sure that Lin Fan didn't run off, he was "guarded" by a group of guards and a Ruler Realm guard.

But of course, they had the right to stop Lin Fan even with force if they had to since that was the order that Lin Jian had given them.

Lin Fan didn't run off at first, pretending to be interested in the work of the eighth army. He went around the base that they had created and helped the eighth army with all kinds of work.

But then, he suddenly disappeared from the base along with the three friends that he had brought.

Those three friends were Angela, Yuki, and Momonga.

While Lin Jian didn't understand why he wanted to bring them, Lin Jian could figure out that those three were related to the "master" of the store. After all, they spent as much time in the store as Lin Fan.

So he figured that they were the students of the master just like Lin Fan.

The Ruler Realm guard immediately went searching for the four of them along with the rest of the guards, but it was as if they had disappeared without a trace.

That was because even if there was a Ruler Realm Expert, it was impossible for that Ruler Realm Expert to see through the darkness laws that Momonga had used to sneak them out. Momonga was a Ruler Realm Expert that was also much stronger than the guard.

So they were able to make their way out of the camp and followed the path that the system had set for them.

This path brought them closer and closer to the battlefield, but it didn't bring them right to the center of it where Lin Jian was fighting the Beast Race with the fourth army.

The place that the system had brought them was a planet that wasn't inhabited by anyone that was caught up in the battlefield.

This was a place that would have eventually become one of the planets under the Lin Astral Empire if it was given enough time to develop, but now…

When they arrived on this planet, they could see the devastation that had been caused by the fighting here.

Even if the planet itself hadn't been destroyed like the other two planets, it had caused plenty of damage.

There were scattered trees that had been torn apart and there were all kinds of corpses scattered around, whether they were human corpses or beast corpses. They just laid there on the ground, looking completely broken.

With this trail of destruction, it was hard to imagine that there were people still alive on this planet.

But this was the place that the system's map was guiding them.

This was where the system was saying that Lin Ao and Yue Qingrou are.

After they arrived, the first thing that they did was look around for clues as to where Lin Ao and Yue Qingrou were.

This was the last place that the system had guided them to. From now on, they had to depend on themselves to find Lin Ao and Yue Qingrou.

However, no matter how they looked, they weren't able to find any clues. There were only signs of destruction and carnage that were scattered around them.

It seemed very unlikely that they would be able to find them.

As they were looking around for clues, Angela couldn't help saying in a worried voice, "Are you sure that they are here?"

It wasn't that she wanted to cast doubt on them, but she really was worried about Lin Ao and Yue Qingrou. After all, they were Lin Fan's parents and she knew how important they were to him.

She had also gotten quite close to them during the trip to the Lin Astral Empire.

So she was worried that something might have happened to them, especially after seeing this scene.

Lin Fan also had a trace of doubt in him, but since the system hadn't told him that he had failed his mission yet, he still held onto that bit of hope. So he said, "They will be here."

Angela could see the bit of worry in his eyes, but she didn't say anything else and just nodded in response to this.

Finally, after searching for a long time, they were able to find a trail from something. There was blood that was scattered along this trail and it looked like something had been dragged a long distance, but this was a trail for them to follow in the end.

They didn't know what they would find at the end of this trail, but they had no other clues right now.

So they didn't waste any time in following this trail.

After following for a bit, they found that there were signs of fighting nearby.

There were life energy fluctuations that were coming from in front of them. However, they could tell that one set of life energy fluctuations was coming from a human expert.

The rest were all coming from beasts.

Wasting no time at all, Lin Fan charged forward with an army of beasts.

When the human saw the wave of beasts coming at him, he thought that he was done for. He thought that this was the reinforcements from the Beast Race that were here to help the beasts that he was fighting.

However, both him and the Beast Race experts were surprised to find that these beasts didn't attack the humans, but rather the Beast Race experts.

The Beast Race troops were made up of normal beasts, but there were beasts that had intelligence and were in charge of commanding the others. These Beast Race commanders were all mutated beasts with stronger bloodlines than the others, which allowed them to suppress the other beasts.

When they saw these new beasts attacking them, they immediately tried using bloodline pressure to stop them.

"What are you fools doing? Attack the humans!"

The Beast Race commanders shouted.

However, they weren't able to convince the beasts that attacked them to stop. In fact, they were easily taken care of by the beasts that attacked them since they were completely outmatched.

The Beast Race troops that were fighting the human were only in the Soul Realm, so when faced with these World Realm Pets, they were easily taken out.

The ones without intelligence were all killed and the commanders were captured.

When Lin Fan came over, everything was already finished.

When the human expert saw Lin Fan come over, he couldn't help being shocked since he never expected to see another human. But he quickly overcame his shock and asked, "Are you here to rescue us?"

Lin Fan gave a nod in response to this before asking, "Is there anyone else? How many of you are there?"

The human expert nodded and said, "There's a whole group of us, but I separated from them to draw these Beast Race troops away."

Lin Fan then asked, "Where are they now?"

The human expert shook his head and said, "I don't know exactly where they are, but I do know where they are heading. We set up a rendezvous point, but…" He couldn't help revealing a bitter smile, "It was very unlikely that I would even be able to reach it, so I don't know if they would even be waiting for me."

Lin Fan looked at this human expert and nodded.

This human expert was only in the Nascent Soul Realm, so it was amazing that he was able to fight against these Beast Race troops that completely outnumbered them. It was only possible because of the World Realm Artifact that he was holding.

Lin Fan didn't bother asking anything else as he turned to deal with the Beast Race commanders.

The reason why he had captured them instead of killing them like the rest was because he wanted information from them.

Right now, they didn't know why the Beast Race had suddenly decided to invade the Lin Astral Empire, so they needed information.

The Beast Race commanders had looks on their faces that seemed like they would rather die than give up any information, but that was normal. After all, they were invaders and Lin Fan was the one that had just defeated them.

But those expressions changed when Lin Fan slapped each and every one of them on the face.

They revealed shocked looks before looking at Lin Fan in a daze, as if they had realized something.

Then they quickly revealed eager looks as they looked at Lin Fan.

It was a good thing that there was a cultivation level difference between them, or else Lin Fan wouldn't have been able to do this. Since there was a cultivation level difference, Lin Fan was able to easily subdue these Beast Race commanders.

However, based on their cultivation levels, they shouldn't be high ranking Beast Race commanders.

So Lin Fan wasn't expecting to get that much information from them in the first place.

Still, any information that they could get was information that they needed.

Lin Fan quickly formed the temporary contracts with them before throwing them into his pet storage space.

After that, he turned to the human expert and said, "Lead the way."
