Strongest Spirit Beast Master Family

"I see. I was wondering why there was a sudden attack; it turns out there's this connection."

With some people's deliberate guidance, suspicions began to shift subtly towards Angsana Pavillion, causing Stone Yee and his companions to look rather displeased.

"Master Mut, you know this ancient mirror has been around for a long time, and some minor issues are unavoidable. Let's wait a while longer; perhaps Nephew Blaze Regret will emerge soon," Kartis Sham said, feigning good intentions.

"Sit down."

With no trace of anger on his face, Mut Lin sat back down slowly, his serene demeanor suggesting that the crowd's discussions did not affect him in the slightest.

"Master, should we secretly take care of those who just tried to incite trouble?" Stone Yee asked in a low voice, his cold, old eyes scanning the audience.

"They're just dogs who've thrown in with the Kartis Family."

Mut Lin's eyes narrowed slightly as he gazed at the ancient mirror, sighing inwardly. He hoped nothing unexpected would happen; otherwise, the trust placed in him by old friends would be in vain.

"Look at that, seems they're guilty, too afraid even to refute. If you're going to make up lies, at least make them believable to avoid getting exposed on the spot."

"Indeed, those hypocrites at Angsana Pavillion should learn their lesson. They act like Snow Storm City is their own backyard, doing business to the point of foolishness."

"Don't say that. If the royal family hears about it, the consequences could be dire. People who don't know better might think they're trying to overthrow the royal family and dominate Sun Moon, just like the Sand Palace attempted back in the day."

Seeing that the Angsana Pavillion remained silent, some individuals secretly grew more brazen in their provocations. With the Kartis Family behind them, the more they stirred the pot, the more they could curry favor with the Kartis Family.

"Wut Tong from Eight Mile Alley and Lord Feng from Listening Wind Tower are really bold. If it weren't for Blaze Ash's pity buying them from slave traders back then, they wouldn't be where they are today." Hearing the increasingly outrageous comments, even Mut Lin's usually refined demeanor showed a hint of coldness.

"A mere fourth tier spiritual Lord master calling himself 'Lord'? What a joke," Stone Yee sneered. With so many people present, they couldn't act rashly. If they killed those two, Angsana Pavillion would be unable to clear their name, no matter how hard they tried.

This is likely exactly what the Kartis Family hopes to see.

"Kian'er, you've truly matured over the years." Seeing the situation turn in their favor, Kartis Sham felt elated. Although Kartis Van was disappointing, his eldest son Kartis Kian excelled in both strength and cunning.

"A small trick, nothing more," Kartis Kian replied with a smile, nodding as he lazily reclined on his chair. By now, he thought, Blaze Regret must have already crumbled in the Thunder Abyss.

"Perish in the Thunder Abyss." Kartis Kai, Kartis Ben, and others wore cold smiles. Even if they hadn't killed Blaze Regret themselves, they were quite satisfied with this outcome.

"Young Master..."

A young man from the Kartis Family approached the bloodied Kartis Van, trying to help him up, but Kartis Van angrily shrugged him off, refusing the help. His eyes, cold and filled with madness, fixated on the ancient mirror.

"Blaze Regret, I swear, if you don't die, I will personally take your life!"

A massive bolt of lightning tore through the slightly dim sky. The dark, oppressive thunder clouds seemed to be about to descend. Suddenly, a fierce wind arose, causing the few withered yellow branches in the Thunder Abyss to tremble violently.

Standing in mid air, Blaze Regret looked at the scene in the mirror before him. His eyes, as dark as night, were filled with rising anger. His gaze slowly swept over, as if he wanted to remember every face of those gloating at him.

At this moment, the people outside the ancient mirror could not see the scene within the Thunder Abyss. However, Blaze Regret could perceive the outside world, a complete reversal from before.

"This is quite troublesome."

Floating beside Blaze Regret, Master Magi sighed softly, "This ancient mirror can only be opened at specific times. If you want to go out again, I'm afraid you'll have to wait three years."

"Three years?" Blaze Regret's face turned extremely grim. Not to mention three years, he couldn't even stay for three months. This barren place was devoid of human habitation, and he couldn't find even the most basic environment for cultivation.

"Is there any other way?" Blaze Regret asked Master Magi unwillingly.

"There is indeed a way."

After a brief pause, Master Magi slowly nodded, "As long as you use the power that surpasses a fifth order King Realms spirit beast to strike the inner side of the mirror, you can temporarily create a spatial vortex to escape from here. Perhaps, I could give it a try."

"This method won't work."

Without even thinking, Blaze Regret decisively rejected this proposal. Although they could leave, Master Magi would definitely be exposed to everyone's view. At that time, the situation for both him and Master Magi would become extremely perilous.

Even though he didn't know the limits of Master Magi's power, it probably wasn't enough to contend with a Spirit King. Who knows if there are any reclusive old monsters hidden in Snow Storm City.

"Boom!"

As Blaze Regret furrowed his brows in thought, a dazzling bolt of lightning suddenly branched out in all directions, seemingly filling the entire sky.

"That's it."

Suddenly enlightened, Blaze Regret quickly retrieved a pendant from the void realms stone, tearing away the excess parts until only a deep star dragon pearl lay quietly in his palm. "Master Magi, you mentioned that this thing can store an immense amount of energy, right?"

Upon hearing this, Master Magi was initially taken aback but soon nodded with a smile, "Of course, not only can it absorb the lightning from this abyss, but it can also take in a thousand or even ten thousand times more energy. However, as its bearer, your body might endure immense pain."
