"Turn it down," Shu Wei said.

It was actually the third time the Shu family received a challenge.

It was normal for families to challenge one another to establish supremacy over the other. And most of the times, it was done with the intention of absorbing the losing party.

In some sense, it was a shortcut for expansion—and ultimately a form of upgrade in order to become a cultivating clan.

But ordinarily, the challenges were done through matches between disciples.

And what was important was the issuance of a formal challenge notice, otherwise a direct attack against another family would be treated as an attempt to annihilate a family which was not really surprising since it happened a lot due to unresolved grudges.

It was not that Shu Wei in this case was purposely evading all the challenges out of cowardice—but since Qai was not around and Shu Liang bound to participate in a competition, the chances of winning for the Shu family were slim.

Among the young generation of the Shu family—namely, Su Yu, the twin Jing and Bing, Xiao Ning, Shen and Yuan—only Jing and Xiao Ning were capable of probably winning against disciples and heirs of other families.

The reason why those other families wanted to challenge the Shu family was basically because they wanted to make entire force and resources of 'The Hunters' Plateau' become their own. With the addition of such group to them, their family could instantly be recognized as one of the major clans or even a minor sect!

And the only possible way of doing such was through a formal challenge, otherwise with the spouses Liu Hei and Liu Hua behind 'The Hunters' Plateau,' they would not be able to make the Shu family submit to their authority.

All those times Shu Wei rejected the challenge letters, the family heads of the other party could not but build some cold feeling against 'The Hunters' Plateau.' However, they were not fools to exact underhanded assault against the Shu family due to the presence of an emperor Protector.

***************

Around a month later, a disturbance stormed the entire family's plateau.

A demonic beast had entered the territory—and it was easily detected due to the barrier set up by the Protector Liu Hei.

But what actually stirred the members of the family was that the demonic beast passed through the barrier from above. And the size of the flying demonic beast was about five meters long with a wing span of eight meter.

It was a Howling Wind Eagle!

It wasn't that the Shu family could not handle such demonic beast but that it was rare for demonic beasts to trespass in a cultivators' territory.

By that time, 'The Hunters' Plateau' had already accepted ten new outer disciples and that was why the sudden appearance of the flying demonic beast could bring danger to the Shu family.


Also, the Peerless Five had already long gone their way towards the Kunlun Mountains. Without any 'Spirit Mount' like the great sects, the team could only travel by land—so they had to leave early in order to arrive at the central region on time.

It would have been easier to protect the ten 'mortal' outer disciples with the Peerless Five around.

And so, as the demonic beast appeared to descend the central area of the plateau, Shu Wei and Shu Wu were ready to unleash their skills.

But before the Howling Wind Eagle landed on the ground, a mid Sky stage Sage cultivator emitting a heavy Qi aura jumped off from the demonic beast's back.

'Baaaam.'

"Eh!?"

It was Qai.

And he was in his invisibility mode when the the flying demonic beast passed through the barrier of the plateau so they didn't notice there was somebody mounting the Howling Wind Eagle.

Qai bowed slightly to the family head then looked around the plateau and were full of satisfaction.

"Father, big brother," Qai called with a grin.

Shu Wei and Shu Wu were stunned.

The fact that Qai had broken through to so many levels while he was away was already dumbfounding. And he was in fact now at mid Sky stage—just a shade below the family head.

Qai had actually broken through once more while in Yellow Springs!

But the truth that his new domesticated demonic beast was radiating with 'Wind' elemental affinity was doubly confusing.

"Little Qai."

The father and son, Shu Wei and Shu Wu were still speechless when Shu Liang came rushing towards her youngest son.

At the same time, the other members of the family also came.

"That's the young master Qai!?" One of the new recruits asked.

The new outer disciples had already heard few things about the youngest son of the Shu family.

But they were initially more proud of Shu Liang especially when they personally encountered the Peerless Five.

But they never expected to see that Qai looked much stronger.

When everyone gathered to meet Qai, their feelings were full of mixed emotions of envy, pride, respect and love.

"Ho ho ho," the old Protector came late but laughing loudly. "Little Qai, you never cease to amaze me."

There were definitely plenty of catching up to do and the Gathering of the Five Great Sects would soon start in barely a couple of months.

Qai would still need to see the Purple Mist Sect soon so he had to do what he had to do in a short period of time.

"Let's get inside of the hall."
