Su He charged forward, only to be swatted back by a claw.

The sharp claws of the white tiger scraped across the turtle shell, producing a piercing sound.

The turtle shell was damaged!

This was the first time the shell couldn't completely block an attack.

Fortunately, Su He retracted his head quickly, or he would have been caught by the white tiger.

Of course, Su He wasn't without achievements; he bit down on the white tiger's elbow, tearing off a piece of flesh. Blood spread across the lake bottom.

Qingyuan Sect, Suppression Prison.

Lu Ming's eyes suddenly sharpened as he sensed the white tiger was injured. He held his breath for a moment, then exhaled. It's fine; after all, it's capturing a Divine Turtle with divine beast blood. How could it not get hurt?

Being suppressed by the Ten Thousand Catties Talisman and still able to injure the white tiger, this turtle's bloodline must be frighteningly pure. That's a good thing! The stronger it is, the more the white tiger's talents will improve after consuming it. Correspondingly, I will also gain greater benefits.

Good!

The white tiger has an Evil Ghost, capable of attacking from afar and defending up close; that turtle is doomed! I hope the white tiger acts quickly, lest other beasts smell the divine beast's blood and come to snatch it away.

Under Listening Sea Lake, Su He heard a sharp scream behind him. The Evil Ghost abandoned Green Snake and hurried back to protect its master.

A dagger stabbed straight towards the base of Su He's tail.

Despicable!

With a twist of his body, the turtle shell skirt blocked the dagger. At the same time, he instinctively bit towards the Evil Ghost's arm.

As he bit down, there was a cold, foul taste, but suddenly he bit into nothing.

Su He's eyes lit up. The Evil Ghost becomes tangible at the moment of attack! It can be bitten!

"Ang~"

He let out a meaningless cry, but Green Snake immediately understood, coiling its body like a spring. Just as the Evil Ghost stabbed another dagger towards Su He's turtle claw, a water arrow pierced through the lake, puncturing the Evil Ghost's head.

The hatred in the Evil Ghost's eyes instantly turned to confusion and emptiness. Its entire sack-like body burst like a bubble, dissipating with a pop.

In Qingyuan Sect, Lu Ming's face changed dramatically as he sensed the disappearance of the white tiger's Evil Ghost.

His heart pounded.

How could this happen?!

That Evil Ghost was carefully chosen for the white tiger, even secretly refined with ghost gate techniques. Though still immature, it was impervious to blades and axes. How could a mere beast destroy it?

Could it be that the turtle's bloodline is special, ignoring the Evil Ghost's intangibility?

If so... his heart raced. If the white tiger consumes it, could it inherit this ability?

His face was nearly unable to suppress his excitement.

No, I need to find an excuse to dismiss the Enforcement Hall. I need to share vision with the white tiger, to see it consume the Divine Turtle with my own eyes!

"Roar! ... Glug glug..."

The white tiger roared, gulping down a bellyful of lake water.

It's not an aquatic animal; its ability to dive relies on the natural swimming skills of tigers and the powerful lung capacity of a three-star exotic beast, holding its breath to dive.

After exhaling several times, it was already choking on water. But with its strong physique, it would take hours to drown it.

Su He dared not wait.

The white tiger is just a pet; outside, there's Lu Ming, who can ride a sword and fly. Who knows when that guy will come?

Delaying could lead to changes!

"Ang~"

He growled low, signaling to Green Snake, and swam towards the white tiger again. At the same time, he swiped his claws, creating two water bands that wrapped around the white tiger's claws like jelly.

The white tiger swiped, but the water bands cushioned the blow, leaving the turtle shell unharmed.

Su He lowered and raised his body, his turtle head darting out in an instant, biting into the base of the white tiger's neck. As the white tiger swung its claw, he tore back, ripping open a piece of flesh at its neck.

An artery burst, blood gushing out.

"Roar!"

"Smack!"

Su He was swatted away again, his insides shaken, vision turning black.

In Qingyuan Sect, Lu Ming suddenly stood up, his face changing dramatically.

He sensed the white tiger was severely injured.

How could this be? How is it possible? How could a turtle suppressed by the Ten Thousand Catties Talisman injure the white tiger? Based on that day's perception, even without the talisman's suppression, the turtle shouldn't be a match for the white tiger!

Where did it go wrong?

Were those released beast pets fighting the white tiger?

The white tiger is the most powerful beast pet of this generation, but even it can't fight against many. Could it be that the beast pets released by Feng Yaya are all targeting the white tiger?

Did I outsmart myself?

"Enforcement Senior Brother, please wait a moment. My white tiger has some issues; let me take a look."

Across from him, a young man in Enforcement Hall uniform said, "Junior Brother Lu, don't worry. There was an incident in Beast-taming Valley, and many beast pets escaped. Perhaps the capture team injured your Guardian Beast; bring it back to recuperate for a few days and..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Ming's eyes had already glazed over, his consciousness leaving.

A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.

What an impolite guy! The enforcement disciple's face turned cold. Even as the chief disciple of Beast-taming Valley, he shouldn't be so disrespectful!

The struggling white tiger's eyes flashed slightly, becoming lively. Lu Ming was sharing its vision.

As soon as Lu Ming opened his eyes, he saw a sea of red, the blood-stained lake water obscuring his vision. Before he could figure out the situation, he heard a sharp sound of water being pierced.

Then—

Pop!

Like a ripe grape bursting, darkness enveloped him.

In Suppression Prison, Lu Ming snapped back to reality, his face dark as ink. Blinded! The white tiger's eye was shot blind.

This is retaliation! The ability to shoot arrows surely isn't the turtle's divine ability; it must be a disciple from Beast-taming Valley capturing escaped beast pets, deliberately blinding my white tiger!

Which Beast-taming Valley disciple doesn't recognize my white tiger?

Jealousy? Cutting off my path?

Lu Ming was furious, activating a spell to share vision again.

The white tiger struggled underwater, unable even to roar, its throat artery and trachea bitten through, bubbles rising uncontrollably, lake water flooding its lungs.

Lu Ming watched through the remaining tiger eye, straining to see through the blood-red water.

He saw it.

There was no one opposite, only a fierce turtle lunging to bite.

Lu Ming was stunned. The turtle wasn't suppressed by the Ten Thousand Catties Talisman?

Its aura hadn't changed; how did it break the talisman?

Was it Yu Lin? Did Yu Lin not fall for my trick and went to lecture again?!

Did he see the spirit talisman I left on the turtle shell? Killing intent surged in Lu Ming's heart.

Lu Ming must not be left alive!

No, that's not right, he doubted. Even without the talisman's restriction, the turtle shouldn't be a match for the white tiger; why was the white tiger bitten to near death?

The white tiger struggled, and he followed its gaze, seeing the turtle shell pressing down on the white tiger's back.

The Ten Thousand Catties Talisman glowed brightly.

Lu Ming was at a loss.

He had no idea where to start unraveling the situation, and then he heard the sound of an arrow piercing water, plunging him into darkness again, the last tiger eye shot out.

Only the turtle's roar echoed.

In Qingyuan Sect, Lu Ming jolted awake, spitting a mouthful of blood, his face pale as paper.

Heart!

The turtle had pierced the white tiger's heart!

The white tiger couldn't survive.

The white tiger was his Guardian Beast; its death would inevitably affect him. Severe injury was a minor issue; Qingyuan Sect could heal any wound.

But without the white tiger, his path was cut off!

"Turtle!" Lu Ming clutched his heart, collapsing to the ground, blood seeping through his teeth as he roared.

Vile creature! For no reason, you cut off my path; I will kill you!

And the Qing Yuan disciple behind you and those despicable elders who secretly claimed the Divine Turtle!

"Turtle!" he shouted.

"Eh?" A childish voice came, "Senior Brother Lu also has a pretty turtle?"

At the entrance of Suppression Prison, two enforcement disciples helplessly escorted a little girl inside.

Feng Yaya.

This escort was rather unique; they coaxed Feng Yaya in with a string of candied hawthorns.

This little ancestor had inexplicably gone mad, setting fire to the Beast-taming Valley cages, releasing most of the beast pets. The Sect Leader was furious, punishing her to labor and reflect in Suppression Prison.

Is this a punishment for her? This is a punishment for Suppression Prison! What mistake did we Suppression Prison disciples make?

Feng Yaya bounced in front of Lu Ming, "I'll tell you a secret, Senior Brother. I also have a turtle. It's in Listening Sea Lake, and we agreed to meet after a hundred days."

"Is Senior Brother Lu feeling bad because your little turtle was taken?"

She patted Lu Yu's shoulder, comforting him, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Lu. Mother placed a warning rune on my turtle's head, so it won't be taken."

Lu Yu's eyes widened suddenly, spitting blood, collapsing unconscious.
