Furthermore, nestled in the valley were numerous buildings where members of the beast race lived harmoniously.
Who could have anticipated that such a picturesque place would transform into a realm of eerie silence as one ventured deeper?
“Spirit Beast Valley is truly remarkable. Who would have thought that Lion Archon, that brute, could actually oversee such a splendid place!” Feenix exclaimed in admiration upon seeing Spirit Beast Valley.
“It is precisely because of Lion Archon’s rough temperament that he is able to effectively manage the beast race living here,” Catina said with a laugh, explaining the reason behind it.
Upon hearing Catina’s explanation, Jared also grasped the underlying meaning.
Every race harbored hidden tensions. As the saying goes, the benevolent do not wield weapons, and the righteous do not control wealth. The three kings and four archons each had their own unique methods of governance.
“Who are you all?” several figures suddenly appeared as Jared and his companions descended, questioning them with stern expressions.
“Who is currently in charge of Spirit Beast Valley? Is Lion Archon still present?” Feenix interrogated.
At that moment, Feenix exuded an air of superiority. After all, even Lion Archon had to submit to Feenix, who used to bully him in the past.
However, Feenix was currently only at the Body Fusion Realm, and these Spirit Beast Valley guards did not recognize her.
Upon realizing that Feenix was merely a Body Fusion Realm cultivator and hearing her refer to Lion Archon as “old chap,” the guards immediately became displeased.
“Where did this inexperienced person come from, daring to address our Lion Archon in such a manner? This is asking for trouble!” the guards exclaimed, preparing to take action against Feenix.
This greatly offended Feenix.
Witnessing the situation, Catina, who stood to the side, furrowed her brows and said, “Stop, you reckless fools!”
The moment Catina revealed a hint of her Seventh Level Tribulator aura, the guards turned pale. They fell to the ground, kneeling on one knee.
Their eyes filled with panic, and they were at a loss for words.
“I am the Fox Queen. Is Lion Archon present? Who is currently in charge of Spirit Beast Valley? Bring him out immediately!” Catina ordered in a cold, detached manner.
“Fox Queen, we apologize. It is our fault for not recognizing you.”
“Lion Archon is not present, so Mr. Grelamin is currently overseeing Spirit Beast Valley. We will inform him of your arrival right away.”
The guards were terrified. After all, Catina held a position of great importance, similar to their Lion Archon. As mere guards, they certainly couldn’t afford to offend her!
The guards hurriedly reported the situation. After a short wait, several figures swiftly approached, quickly arriving in front of Jared and his companions.
“Fox Queen, I was unaware of your esteemed visit and failed to welcome you. I sincerely beg your forgiveness!” the elderly man who led the group addressed Catina with utmost respect.
The people behind the elder quickly paid their respects to Catina, despite her not being their direct leader. However, Catina’s position within the beast race was such that none of them dared to show the slightest hint of disrespect.
“You must be Mr. Grelamin, the person currently overseeing Spirit Beast Valley,” Catina inquired.
“Yes, that is correct. May I ask what instructions you have for me, Fox Queen?” Evindal Grelamin asked.
“It’s not a big deal. Since Lion Archon is absent, I will tell you what I need. I require one of your telepathic beasts. Retrieve one for me!” Catina stated straightforwardly.
Upon hearing Catina’s request, Evindal’s expression changed, and he appeared deeply conflicted.
“What? You are unwilling to provide me with even one telepathic beast? Do I not deserve that courtesy?” Catina’s anger began to rise.
Witnessing Catina’s anger, Evindal hastily explained, “Fox Queen, please do not misunderstand. It is not that we are unwilling to give one to you, but we also face insurmountable difficulties. Furthermore, without Lion Archon present, I am unable to make this decision.”
