Chu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Well, that's quite fast indeed. Considering that the Chen Family is relatively far away, I didn't expect them to arrive here first."
The man of unparalleled talent said, "That's natural; even if they didn't spare the horse power, riding a horse would only allow them to cover about thirteen hundred miles in a day and a night... and only the best horses can achieve that. But this Wind Chaser Beast, being an eighth level spirit beast, can run five thousand miles in a day! Moreover, after resting for one night, it can fully recover the next day."
"I see." Chu Yang thought to himself, considering the taming secret technique; such a method was indeed impressive.
The Sword Spirit said in his mind, "It is indeed a great technique; I also don't know when the Chen Family obtained such a cultivation technique."
Chu Yang felt a bit frustrated; he was the one curious about where it came from, and now he got a response of uncertainty.
"However, there was originally a Beast Master Sect in Heaven's Gate long ago, which had already been extinct for tens of thousands of years..." The Sword Spirit continued, finally hitting the nail on the head: "The ancestor of the Chen Family probably didn't know how he obtained a bit of inheritance... No wonder he exhausted his lifespan and died."
"What do you mean by that?" Chu Yang immediately became interested.
"The Beast Master Sect was part of the methods of cultivation from Heaven's Gate, where there was endless great spirit energy to support it; there was naturally no need to worry. But in Nine Heavens, one can only rely on the vital energy cultivated through hard work."
"With this vital energy, he could tame a few spirit beasts as mounts, but he actually managed to gather so many... If he didn't die, who would?" The Sword Spirit said disdainfully.
"So you're saying... if this technique were in Heaven's Gate, there would be no restrictions?" Chu Yang's eyes brightened.
The Sword Spirit snorted, saying, "Otherwise, do you think the Beast Master Sect would have been destroyed? Because this technique is too against the heavens... Just think about it, a person could command thousands of spirit beasts... Such strength could form a sect? Sooner or later, it would become a hidden danger... So it was exterminated early."
"Of course, if there are no restrictions, I wouldn't believe it... It's just that without knowing the intricacies of the technique, it's hard to say more..."
The Sword Spirit's words came to a close.
Chu Yang fell into deep thought.
In the distance, dust began to rise, swiftly approaching like a black cloud. One moment it was still several miles away; the next moment, it was right before their eyes. A large group of people in yellow robes came rumbling in!
At the sight of this recognizable color, everyone immediately knew it was indeed the Chen Family.
The five of them, not wanting to cause trouble, simply flew up to the hillside beside the road.
Chu Yang finally got a good look at this Wind Chaser Beast; it resembled a mule, but was slightly shorter and had a longer body. Its entire body was covered in black fur.
Its four legs were short and stout, with large hooves and fierce eyes.
On its back was a spacious saddle, with members of the Chen Family sitting on top. The Wind Chaser Beast galloped at high speed, yet the riders remained completely still, feeling no vibrations. In fact, those skilled in riding could even sleep on it to recover their strength.
It was indeed a good thing.
Chu Yang sighed inwardly. No wonder they could cover such a long distance in the shortest time and arrive before other families!
Just as the Chen Family members were about to sweep past them, the leader suddenly glanced sideways, raised his hand, and whistled, tossing something into the air.
With a whoosh, a cloud of dust flew past. The more than a hundred people neatly stopped.
The leader patted the Wind Chaser Beast beneath him, and it turned to face Chu Yang and the others.
This person was dressed in a bright yellow robe, tall and thin. Although he was riding the Wind Chaser Beast, it was clear that his stature must be quite tall. His eyes were sharp, like an eagle's; at this moment, he was staring expressionlessly at Chu Yang and the others.
