Chapter 746: Pet Human

"Savior!"

Xiang Yangyan and the elders walked up to Xiao Luo with friendly smiles, acknowledging him as their savior.

Xiao Luo nodded to them.

"Hey, Xiao Yanzi. Can this teleportation portal take us to the Stan City that is tens of thousands of kilometers away?" asked Duck Emperor. He had sized up the portal and did not feel convinced that it was reliable. How was such a thing possible?

Xiang Yangyan staggered when he heard Duck Emperor addressing him as Xiao Yanzi. He almost fell to the ground. However, since it was Xiao Luo's pet beast, he let it slide.

He nodded and explained, "The sacred place of the Light Clan spent hundreds of years building many such portals in the Arcana Land. They deployed these portals with configurations that are top secret. These devices certainly can achieve long-distance transportation."

"Okay. So, it is the sacred place of the Light Clan who invented them. No wonder they are so amazing. But I bet they will need an enormous amount of energy to transport people to such a remote place in a split second," said the Duck Emperor. He patted the shell of the teleportation portal with his wings and acted as though he was an expert on the matter.

Xiang Yangyan explained patiently, "Of course. The elders of the Ziyue Cave Heaven and I have to channel a vast amount of True Inner Force into the portal from time to time to keep it in running condition. Usually, we only get some business people and sect members from Ziyue Cave Heaven using the portal to go to the Stan City. Most of the common folk live ordinary lives. They would not even think about traveling to a strange place that is so far away. So, they seldom use it."

Nodding, the Duck Emperor said, "Makes sense."

"Once we walk into the teleportation portal, we will arrive at the Stan City?" asked Xiao Luo straightforwardly.

"Yes, but be careful about one thing. Please do not use your True Inner Force during the transmission. It will affect the operation of the transmitting configuration. If you perform the True Inner Force, you might deviate away from your original destination. There might be other risks as well," warned Xiang Yangyan.

"There has been an accident before. A man thought it would be fun, so he hit the light wall during the transmission. And the force of the space tore him into pieces," said an elder.

The Duck Emperor freaked out and asked, "Mother ducker. Is it that dangerous?"

"It is not dangerous as long as you do not unleash the True Inner Force. It is super safe."

Patting his chest, Zuo Xiangming guaranteed them. He continued, "I have used this transmitting formation over fifty times. Nothing has ever happened to me."

"The condition not to use the True Inner Force would only apply to you humans. What about me?" asked the Duck Emperor worriedly.

"Do not worry. Pet beasts can travel through the teleportation portal safely with their owners," said the same elder with a smile.

"Pet beasts?"

The Duck Emperor was so pissed off. The feathers on its head stood on ends when he heard himself referred to as a pet beast. Flapping his wings, he jumped up and shouted at that elder. He said, "Who is a pet beast? It is you! And your entire family are pet beasts!"

Two days ago, in the main hall, another elder had also referred to the Duck Emperor in the same manner. At that point, the duck had tolerated him. After all, it was not appropriate to get so angry. However, he certainly would not put up with being called a pet beast again.

Eh?

The duck's behavior had puzzled the elder. He did not know what he had said wrong. Was there a problem with calling it a pet beast?

The Duck Emperor flew into a rage, pointed at Xiao Luo, and said, "He is the pet beast. Oh, no, he is a human pet… my human pet. Open your eyes wide. Do not make this mistake again."

Human pet?

The name that Duck Emperor had labeled Xiao Luo with amused the members of the Ziyue Cave Heaven.

Kicking the Duck Emperor, Xiao Luo scolded, "What nonsense are you uttering? Shrink yourself immediately so you can stay in my pocket."

Xiao Luo did not want to appear in public with a one-and-a-half-foot duck. It would attract too many curious gazes.

The Duck Emperor had fallen on its face. It was a funny pose as its feathered bottom stuck out in the air when it fell.

"Goddamn jerk! When I am powerful enough, I will let you know what it feels like being kicked in the ass!"

He cursed in anger, then shrank his body to the size of a newly hatched baby duckling. He flew into Xiao Luo's pocket with his head was sticking out, looking unhappily at the world at large.

Xiao Luo nodded his head at Xiang Yangyan and the others as a sign of farewell. Then, without further delay, he walked into the teleportation portal.

As he watched Xiao Luo disappear in the colorful lights, Xiang Yangyan frowned slightly and had a worried look. Then he let out a long sigh.

"Elder Brother, why did you sigh?" asked a curious elder who was next to him.

"Our savior's strength is immeasurable, and the technique he practices is super mysterious and powerful. This place is very far away from the center of Arcana Land. Why would such a talented man suddenly pop up here? He had shown up out of the blues. We do not even know his origin. The only thing we know is that he is heading for the sacred place of the Light Clan."

"Elder brother, you mean our savior will not just visit the sacred place of the Light Clan as he claimed, but has other intentions?" asked the elder, surprised.

Gazing at the teleportation portal, Xiang Yangyan sighed gently. Then he said, "It makes little sense to travel across millions of kilometers just to see what the sacred place of the Light Clan looks like."

"What could he be planning to do?"

"Agreed. Our savior's strength is limitless, and he is still so young. Nothing about him makes sense. What could he be thinking of doing at the sacred place of the Light Clan?"

"Xiangming, are you sure you ran into him in the Forest of Infinity Edge?"

None of the elders could figure it out. Xiao Luo was a mystery that was difficult to uncover. A twenty-something-year-old Martial Emperor. They absolutely could not find another person like him in the Arcana Land.

"Yes, Grand Elder. The Black Blood Mercenary Coups chased us, and they had us trapped. We ran into Senior Xiao as he was roasting a Lili," replied Zuo Xiangming with a nod.

"That is weird. Did Xiao Luo pop up here from nowhere?" said the Grand Elder as he knitted his brows together.

"Perhaps he does not belong to our world at all."

Xiang Yangyan's comment startled everyone present.

Xiao Luo was not from our world?

What did that mean? Was there another unknown world?

Xiang Yangyan said with a smile, "Did you not notice their clothes differed from ours? Not only the style but also the fabrics."

That?

Then the others also remembered it. The way Xiao Luo had dressed was so different from their style of dressing.

"Our savior's arrival is probably because the Holy Lady of the Light Clan will return soon."

Xiang Yangyan said, "Otherwise, it could not have been such a coincidence. It looks like it will soon not be peaceful in the sacred place of the Light Clan."

He should have reported the whole matter to the sacred place of the Light Clan. He could have used the teleportation portals' communicating function to do that. But Xiao Luo was their savior. Even if Xiao Luo intended to cause harm to the sacred place of the Light Clan, he still could not send a report to them. It would go against his conscience.

Instead, his concern was about Xiao Luo's safety. The Four Kings of the Light Clan were paramount in their world. They had achieved the Martial Saint status. No matter how powerful Xiao Luo was, he was not a threat to those at the sacred place of the Light Clan. It would seem more likely that he would find himself behind the eight-ball.
