Chapter 1219 Wolf Taming - Part 5
Marcus knelt on the ground, swearing his allegiance to Tang Shaoyang. The exiled Lycanthrope agreed to form the contract. If not for the fact that Marcus was not the ancestor of the Lycanthrope, he would choose to sacrifice the Grade SS Spirit. He forgot about the Spirit Sacrifice which could help him to raise his level. He rarely did it because that was not just the right thing to do. However, he was in a special circumstance and would do everything to reach Demi-God Rank as fast as he could.
"You make the right choice in the end," Those were his parting words before Marcus turned into light, entering his forehead.
Tang Shaoyang returned to the group, "Let's visit The Weretorn Valley. We don't have that much time now," He turned toward Karzick who would be his guide, "Don't worry about your people. I will make an arrangement and will send you all to my people once I finish all my business on this floor."
"Aren't you forgetting someone?" Rosalie came to his side and asked.
Tang Shaoyang was confused as he was sure everyone was there. Then he followed Rosalie's gaze on his shoulder, "Ah, the kids. I forgot about them."

On the other side of the forest
The guide was walking aimlessly, walking straight without knowing his destination. The cat told him that it would be over in half an hour or even an hour. However, it had already been an hour, and he believed it was almost two hours since the man left. While he was relieved that he did not encounter any Lycanthrope, he was still at the edge because he was pretty sure he had arrived at the Lycanthrope's main territory. It was just a matter of time until he met the real Lycanthrope and had his body feasted on by the nocturnal creature.
He wanted to wake the cat and the lizard, but he was too scared for that. Slowing down his pace, making sure that he would not encounter the Lycanthrope while keeping his guard.
Greed suddenly opened his eyes. He stretched out on the man's shoulder after a good nap, "Master is done with the job. We will meet him right now."
The guide was happy to hear that. The safest place was next to the cat's master, after all. But then his heart jumped out as his vision blackened. He did not know what happened, but he could not see or feel anything. As if he was just a wandering soul and thought without physical form. That scared him for a moment before his vision returned. He was flabbergasted, lying down on the ground as he looked at the night sky. The moon was there, the same moon, confused about what happened to him.
But the confusion turned into terror at the sight of six Lycanthropes, looking down at him. He was terrified, frozen in fear with his mouth gaped open, not breathing.
"Is he your friend, Your Majesty?" Karzick asked. The six Lycanthropes looked at him curiously, but in the guide's eyes, they looked terrifying. As if the Lycanthrope would eat him alive.
"He is a guide who led us to Andure Vale, but we don't need him anymore," Lu An cast a glance at the terrified man, "We have you to lead us now."
Those words terrified the guide even more. If he was no longer useful, he would be thrown away. That meant he would be the food for the Lycanthrope. He snapped out and raised his voice, "These Lycanthropes might not know where the Death Forest and Guardian Peak are. I can still be the guide for you." The guide was aware of the animosity between the Werewolf in the Weretorn Valley and the Lycanthrope. The Lycanthrope might know where the Weretorn Valley was, but they might not know the other two places.
"Death Forest? Guardian Peak?" Karzick indeed did not know those two places. In his life, it was about survival, looking for food, and fighting the Werewolf. They did not know much about the other places with the Werewolf who kept harassing them.
"Don't scare him anymore, Lu An." Tang Shaoyang shook his head at how mischievous the young man was, "Let's depart immediately."

Things went smoothly for Tang Shaoyang, but it was quite a hassle back in the Starter City.
After The Uprising Guild, three more factions arrived on the eleventh floor. The World Union, The Saint Guild, and The First Order Guild. The Uprising Guild was quite troublesome already, and now, the two factions that are part of the World Government arrived. The Federation of Allurion and The Divine Church had found out the structure on the Earth for sure. It was hard to find out how the relationship between The Uprising Guild and their enemy was.
Zhang Mengyao moved her neck, making a cracking noise. She had been reading the report far too long, too many problems with so few resolutions.
"Should we pull out and focus on Earth? I think Tang Shaoyang should be safe here. He could return safely even though we are not here, no?" Kang Xue, who had been helping Zhang Mengyao since Tang Shaoyang's absence, voiced her idea. That might be the best.
"We can't. If we leave the tower, it would be hard for us to get info about them. That might be worse than now," Zhang Mengyao shook her head. They had been on the winning side because of the Intelligence Division who had been giving her the crucial information in the war. However, there was no more fighting outside the city ever since Lu An left. Inside the city, the Intelligence Division was powerless because they could not use the skill or even enter the other world's region. Gathering information inside the city was quite impossible. The only thing they could watch was the movement.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Someone knocked on the door three times.
"Come in," Zhang Mengyao looked toward the door.
Viona and Yeon Hee entered the room together. In Lu An's absence, both had been leading the Intelligence Division, "Is it bad news or good news for you two to come here together?" Zhang Mengyao asked with a frown. Usually, both would not come to deliver the information. If they came, that meant it was either urgent or crucial information for them to deliver personally.
"Bad and could be bad news," Yeon Hee smiled wryly.
