Chapter 984: Beast Taming Mountain

After finally getting a disciple that was talented enough to become his direct disciple, he finally realized that his Martial Niece, Yue Xuexia, was still with them. The Sword Peak’s hall master felt embarrassed ignoring the principal’s only disciple and panicked for a moment.

"M-Martial Niece Yue, you are here? Did you come with Xiao Ji? Did the two of you have a good relationship?" Peak Master Lao Mo asked.

The Moon Goddess didn’t mind being ignored. After all, this is a good time for her second sister to accept a good master who would teach her proper sword training. This is something she cannot teach them as her skills are something more akin to her talents from her past life. She was also not good at teaching swords. Now that her second sister has found a good master, Yue Xuexia is definitely happy for her.

Yue Xuexia responded, "Martial Uncle Lao Mo, Xiao Ji and I had become close friends. When the Yue Clan came over to see the Master, I got along with the two moon princesses. They’ve mentioned getting a token to some of our Peak Masters so I’ve brought them over. Since Xiao Ji had found her master, I’m going to accompany Ruru to the Beast Taming Peak next."

"Master, can I go with Shijie? I want to see the other peaks as well," said Yue Jixia.

The Sword Peak Master, Lao Mo, pats his disciple’s head and says, "Go ahead. Your official training can start tomorrow afternoon. You still need to see your parents off tomorrow right?"

"Yes. Thank you, Master!" said the Second Moon Princess, Yue Jixia.

After a short farewell, the three sisters had once again left the Sword Peak. Not long after they left, a man wearing the official robes for the direct disciples of Peak Master Lao Mo came out from the cave near him. It seems to be one of the other disciples of Elder Lao Mo. This young man possessed long black hair and a roguish bad vibe. His robes were slightly open in front revealing his firm muscles especially his abs. This man is the Senior Brother of the Sword Peak, his name is Chu Yang.

"Master was that the disciple of Lord Wu Yao?" Sword Peak’s Senior Brother, Chu Wang asked. "Yes. But it seems you are more interested in my Martial Niece than your new Junior Sister."

"Yue-Shimei’s talent in swords is not bad. She already possessed a sword embryo and once it matures she should be able to use Sword Intent. She is young but her talents are also good. But Senior Sister Yuelei is different. Even though she doesn’t possess any sword, I can feel a powerful aura of sword coming from her. She can definitely use a sword as her main weapon."

Peak Master Lao Mo rubs his chin and narrowed his eyes seriously then commented, "Senior Wu Yao’s disciples are definitely not ordinary. His second disciple is a swordmaster. His name is Shen Jueyang. Maybe you can ask to spar with him sometimes. That child is definitely strong. Though I don’t know if Martial Niece Yue can truly use the sword, we can only wait for the sect tournament to know something about it. Moreover, she seems to have gotten close to the descendants of the Ancient Moon Clan. Don’t you think that is interesting itself?"

"I am only interested in swords and no one from the Ancient Moon Clan seems to excel in them. So I am not interested. That Senior Brother Shen Jueyang, if he is truly a swordmaster then I am interested to meet him," Disciple Chu Yang said with glowing anticipation within his eyes.

Sword Peak Master hit the head of his first disciple and warned him.

"Don’t you dare go sneaking around the main peak. They don’t live there. The forbidden back mountain peak, you remember that place right?" Elder Lao Mo asked.

"I know that place. Isn’t that a forbidden area? Why is the master mentioning it now?" Disciple Chu Yang asked.

His first disciple, Chu Yang nods his head while rubbing the pain from the back of his head. As an old disciple, there is no way he didn’t know about that forbidden mountain peak that is said to eat people. Anyone who had chosen that location would eventually disappear one day and no one knows the reason why. The academy had investigated that place multiple times but the history only says that the mountain peak is not a place for people to live and it is considered a forbidden zone in the Black Cloud Academy.

Peak Master Lao Mo said, "That place had been renovated and our new Guardian Beast, Lord Taotie was found in that place by Principal Wu Yao and his two disciples, Yuelei Xuexia and Shen Jueyang. After helping with the taming of Lord Taotie, the peak was given to the principal’s disciples. It was now called Yueguang Peak. If you want to find your Senior Brother Shen, you can go there instead of the main peak."

"Hm? Yue-Shijie and Shen-Shixiong live on the same peak? Are they Dao Companions?" Disciple Chu Yang asked.

Suddenly asked with such a question Peak Master Lao Mo didn’t know how to answer. When he had first met the two disciples of Lord Wu Yao, he noticed that the two were too close to one another but the principal said that they were not lovers or anything. However, how they interact with one another is no different to being one. This is a problem between two young people so he didn’t go into more details.

Elder Lao Mo replies, "This... I don’t know much about their situation. But it seems that Shen Jueyang is interested in Yuelei Xuexia. As for whether they are dao companions, you can ask yourself when you meet them. Leave, I’m going to meditate as well. Maybe I might be able to sign a contract with that new sword I got as a gift from my Martial Niece."

A lot of people noticed their recently introduced Eldest Senior Sister moving around the academy with the two Moon Princesses from the Ancient Moon Clan. The news that the second princess of the Everlasting Moon Empire joining the Sword Peak had instantly spread in the whole academy. Of course, the Yue sisters didn’t know anything about this as they were currently heading to the Beast Taming Peak under Senior Lao Xu. Upon arriving at the territory under the Beast Taming Peak, the three sisters were welcomed with disciples bringing their own contracted spirit beasts moving around the area.

There are also countless areas filled with spirit beasts that were under the care of the Beast Taming Peak. It can be said that the whole mountain is the home for these spirit beasts and the disciples of this mountain take care of them. The spirit beasts on this mountain, some were owned by the disciples and the others are sold in the market as the source of money of the beast taming peak.

When the three siblings arrived, the disciples on that mountain thought that they were customers. As they approached the three potential customers, they froze in shock when they recognized that one of the disciples was the famous Eldest Senior Sister from the main peak. Their Black Cloud Academy’s Holy Saintess.

"Holy Saintess! Welcome to the Beast Taming Mountain!"

"We greet the Saintess! Yue-Shijie, how can we help you?"

The Moon Goddess looked at them gently and even though he wasn’t smiling it can be seen that she was caring for the disciples that had warmly welcomed them. Yue Xuexia, on their way here, had longed to remind her youngest sister about the token given to her by someone from this peak. Likewise, it was another personal token with the characters Beast Taming on it. Clearly, a token from someone important from this peak.

Yue Xuexia said, "Ruru, show them your token."

"Okay, Shijie!" Yue Ruxia showed the disciples of the Beast Taming Peak a black token with characters Beast Taming on it.

As soon as the people of the beast taming mountain saw the token they were stunned at first and saluted to Yue Ruxia almost instantly.

"Senior Sister, welcome back to the Beast Taming Peak!"

The youngest Moon Princess panicked when she saw everyone’s reaction to the token. She didn’t expect that her token had the same effect as the one in her second sister’s possession. It seems that the possibility that she will become a direct disciple of this peak is not impossible. It seems that someone had reported about their arrival to the Beast Taming Mountain and the Peak Master had immediately sent down a messenger to give them his message. A disciple riding a huge swan comes down from the sky to where the group had gathered.

"Greetings to the Saintess!"

"Peak Master Lao Xu invites Dashijie and the other two martial sisters to meet him. Please get on!"

"Wow~ so pretty!" exclaimed Yue Ruxia as she went closer to the spirit beast.

The Yue sisters were staring at the gorgeous spirit crane that suddenly appeared before them. Before Yue Xuexia and Yue Jixia can stop the youngest, Yue Ruxia had already run towards the Spirit Beast Crane and wanted to pat with excitement within her eyes. Even the beast tamer of the crane was caught off guard. His Spirit Beast Crane is quite a proud one and would not easily let its feathers and wings be touched.

The Beast Taming Disciple saw that the Spirit Crane had looked down to where Yue Ruxia is, who is now gently rubbing the tip of the crane’s wings.

"Ah! Be Careful!"
