Chapter 25: The Four Divine Beasts of Qianyang Mansion
It has been three hundred years since Jaeger came to Menglan City, but he has never met Hyde, the head of the Bauhinia Army of Menglan City.
During these three hundred years, Hyde has been away and has never returned.
"It's time to meet him."
Jager stood up and walked out of the room.
When he arrived outside the base, he found that except for the team on duty, the captains of other teams had arrived, especially the three new teams, the ninth, tenth and eleventh, all of which were present.
"team leader."
Jaeger walked up behind Debra.
"You're here." Debra nodded to Jaeger, "The captain will be here soon. Since this is our first meeting, we should all be present to make it more formal."
"Yes."
Everyone was waiting outside the castle.
I saw a streak of light flying from the horizon, without slowing down, flying straight over the city wall and heading towards the garrison.
Not many people dared to fly like this in the city, and everyone knew it must be Hyde.
The light fell outside the castle, and it was a metallic life in the shape of a giant green dragon.
"That is!"
Seeing this, Jager's face changed.
The winding shape of the metallic life is very similar to the Azure Dragon.
Qinglong is the main god. Among countless planes, only one family dares to use metal life of this shape, and that is the family of the Four Divine Beasts!
A portal opened on the side of the metal lifeform, and two men walked out side by side.
The person on the left is tall and slender, with long blue hair that reaches his waist, and a handsome face like a woman.
"He is Hyde."
Although it was the first time that Jeger met the captain of the Bauhinia Army of Menglan City, there was Hyde's floating crystal ball in the base, so he recognized him at once.
Next to Hyde was a gloomy red-haired young man with sharp eyes and an imposing manner, as if he looked down on everyone.
"Could he be the descendant of the Four Divine Beasts family?" Jager thought to himself.
After Hyde and the red-haired young man walked out of the metal life, another skinny old man walked out, following closely behind the red-haired young man.
Behind them was a group of young men and women, about 20 to 30 in number, all of whom were only as strong as lower-level gods.
"Captain, you are back."
Julian, the squad leader of the first squad, stepped forward to greet Hyde.
Hyde nodded and ordered, "Julian, go prepare the banquet. I want to entertain Master Bernard of the Four Divine Beasts family."
"Yes." Julian immediately asked a team member to prepare.
Hyde looked at the team leaders in front of the castle, especially the three new team leaders including Debra.
Julian introduced them at the right time: "Captain, these are the new team leaders, Debra, Hola, and Stout."
Debra and the other two said in unison, "Meet Captain Hyde."
Hyde nodded and asked gently, "Are you getting used to Menglan City?" "Thank you for your concern, Captain. We have all gotten used to it."
"That's good."
Hyde glanced at the many Bauhinia Army members present.
"The captains will stay and entertain Master Bernard with me. The others can go back."
"Yes."
Everyone left as instructed and returned to the castle.
Although Jage was curious about why the descendants of the Four Divine Beasts family came to Menglan City with Hyde, he was not the team leader, so he could only return to his room first.
The next day, Jagger saw Debra and immediately asked the question in his mind.
Debra explained: "I heard from the captains of other teams that Captain Hyde has always been very close to the Four Divine Beasts Family."
"The branch of the Four Divine Beasts in Qianyang Prefecture belongs to the branch of the Azure Dragon Clan. They live in Luoxia Valley, 30 million miles away from Menglan City. The patriarch of the branch, Staven, is a seven-star demon. When Hyde went to visit his friends before, he went to Luoxia Valley to see Staven. Bernard is Staven's only son."
At this point, Debra suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Jeg, when you were at the headquarters, did you hear about the killing of a Bauhinia Army squad in Menglan City?"
Jager nodded. "It is said that he was killed by a madman. His target was the Four Divine Beasts family. The Bauhinia Army team was implicated."
"Yes, the madman's target at that time was actually Bernard!"
Jager was shocked.
Debra continued, "That madman is called Akili. He was originally a genius of the Crowley family. The Crowley family is considered a medium-sized family in Qianyang Prefecture. The strongest person in the family is a six-star demon. Later, he was destroyed by Bernard, and the family business was also occupied."
"This Bernard is only a five-star demon, but he is from the Four Divine Beasts family and possesses the power of the Lord God. With the blessing of the Lord God's power, a five-star demon can easily kill a six-star demon."
"The Crowley family was destroyed, and Akili disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already a seven-star demon."
"At that time, Bernard was in Menglan City handling his family's business in the city. After finishing his business, he was going back to Luoxia Valley. Hyde sent a small team of Bauhinia Army to escort him. On the way, he was attacked by Akili. In that battle, Bernard's original body and the strongest god clone were all killed by Akili, leaving only this ordinary upper god clone."
"After the news reached Menglan City, Hyde was furious. He was good friends with Staven, but Bernard was killed under the escort of the Bauhinia Army. Of course, he couldn't sit still, so he immediately led several teams to hunt down Akili. However, Akili was not weaker than Hyde, and he escaped from Hyde."
"Since then, I don't know if it's to repair the relationship, but Hyde has been going to Sunset Valley more often."
“As for this time, I heard them say at the banquet that Bernard was going to lead a group of young people from Luoxia Valley to the Tianji Mountains, the ancestral land of the Four Divine Beasts family. They happened to be passing through Menglan City, so they came here with Hyde.”
"Going to Tianji Mountains? Is it for the ancestral temple baptism?" Jeger asked curiously.
In the original novel, the family of the Four Divine Beasts would baptize their children in the ancestral hall every eighty years, allowing the children to awaken the blood of the Four Divine Beasts in their bodies and directly become lower-level gods.
“You also know about the ancestral temple baptism of the Four Divine Beasts family?” Debra raised her eyebrows.
"I've heard of it." Jegg remained calm. The Four Divine Beasts family is spread across all major planes and is very famous. Their family's ancestral hall baptism is no big secret.
Debra did not doubt him and said, "No, the ancestral hall baptism can also be performed in Luoxia Valley."
"Huh?" Jager was a little surprised.
However, he soon understood that the ancestral temple baptism of the Four Divine Beasts family in the original book was held in the Tianji Mountains because after the death of the Four Divine Beasts’ main god, all the descendants of the Four Divine Beasts family returned to the Tianji Mountains and could naturally perform the ancestral temple baptism together.
But in this era, the Four Divine Beasts family is still prosperous, and its members are spread across all the planes. To gather the young members from all the planes to the Tianji Mountains, the time spent on the road alone would be more than eighty years, which is unrealistic to think about.
Moreover, the things needed for the ancestral hall baptism, such as the Dragon Crystal, are not precious things. There is no need to go to the Tianji Mountains. It is more convenient for each branch to perform the ancestral hall baptism on their own.
"Jeg." Debra's face suddenly became serious, "We should try to have as little contact as possible while Bernard is in Menglan City."
