Chapter 420: This is Beast Taming
As Yu Haojie was suddenly dragged away by an unexpected intruder, Luo Yi and his men, though ordered to protect Yu Luo, couldn’t possibly ignore the fate of their city lord.
Immediately, Luo Yi signaled Luo Jiu and Luo Shi to chase after them. Just when the two thought they were about to lose sight of the kidnappers, the group ahead abruptly stopped in their tracks.
“Xiao Luo is still inside! Xiao Ran, take the men and go save her!”
“Don’t go!”
Still in a state of shock, Yu Haojie suddenly shoved his captor away, urgently stopping him.
The person wasn’t just anyone—it was Yu Zhengqing, missing for a long time.
This time, he had returned with dozens of highly skilled subordinates, which was why Yu Haojie had been too stunned to react quickly.
But right now, his daughter was in a critical moment.
Even though her actions and expressions while using Beast Taming looked dramatic and bizarre, even making Yu Haojie, as her father, feel a bit uneasy, he didn’t want her to be interrupted halfway.
Realizing this, Yu Xiaoran hesitated mid-step, looking back at his father and waiting for further instructions.
“Second Brother, this isn’t the time for stubbornness! Those beasts are too many—even if you have thousands of soldiers, they are no match for them! If I hadn’t turned back just now, I wouldn’t have even realized that Xiao Luo was still inside! That was my mistake, I didn’t mean to abandon her!”
Yu Zhengqing assumed that Yu Haojie was still holding a grudge against him.
Little did he know that Yu Haojie had already erased him from his mind. If Yu Zhengqing hadn’t appeared today, he might have completely forgotten he had a family in the Yu clan.
“Who’s holding grudges against you?! Xiao Luo is doing something important right now—don’t mess things up! She doesn’t need your people to ‘rescue’ her!”
Yu Haojie snapped.
He had never let go of the anger over Yu Zhengqing exposing Ye Jiamei’s medical skills. If he hadn’t shown up today, Yu Haojie wouldn’t have even remembered he existed.
Seeing Yu Haojie so firm, Yu Zhengqing turned his gaze toward Yu Luo.
But all he could see was a sea of flying and ground-based beasts surrounding her.
Even though her guards were protecting her, Yu Zhengqing couldn’t see what she was doing.
He only knew that she was still inside the danger zone.
Luo Jiu and Luo Shi, who had caught up, saw that their city lord wasn’t intending to fight Yu Zhengqing.
Not knowing what to do, they simply stood next to Yu Haojie, ready to protect him.
“Xiao Luo is completely surrounded! Are you sure she’s ‘doing something important’?! These eagles are far more vicious than the ones back home—they eat people!”
Yu Zhengqing questioned, his worry evident.
Just as Yu Haojie was about to retort, Yu Zhengqing, still not convinced, suddenly charged forward with his men.
“Xiao Ran, Xiao Xuan—take your second uncle away! The rest of you, follow me!”
Yu Haojie: “…”
Hearing this, Yu Xiaoxuan impatiently grabbed Yu Haojie by his collar, attempting to drag him away.
He wasn’t particularly concerned about this “second uncle”—if not for his father’s order, he wouldn’t have cared at all.
However, Yu Haojie refused to cooperate. Instead of just resisting, he swung a punch directly at Yu Xiaoxuan’s face!
Yu Xiaoxuan, also a trained fighter, dodged the attack, his expression souring as he angrily shoved Yu Haojie away.
“I don’t need you to take me anywhere! You go your way, I’ll go mine!”
Breaking free from Yu Xiaoxuan was easy, but Yu Xiaoran still had a firm grip on him.
Even though Yu Haojie possessed inner strength, it seemed that his skills weren’t polished enough to counter Yu Xiaoran’s grip.
In frustration, Yu Haojie yelled at him.
“Big Brother! Why are you even bothering with him?! If he wants to die, let him die! Even if Father returns later, it’s not our fault! He’s being stubborn and asking for it!”
“Shut up! Is that how you talk to your second uncle?!”
Yu Xiaoran, having spent a long time outside Endless Moon, had grown visibly more rugged and weathered.
The once elegant and proud young noble from the capital now looked years older than his actual age.
Hearing his younger brother’s words, Yu Xiaoran immediately stepped into his role as the elder and scolded him without hesitation.
Without wasting another second, he sealed Yu Haojie’s acupoint, freezing him in place.
“You brat! Who told you to stick your nose where it doesn’t belong?! Yu Xiaoran, you little bastard, unseal my acupoint right now! If anything happens to Xiao Luo, I swear I’ll kill you both!”
Completely unaware that Yu Xiaoran knew how to block acupoints, Yu Haojie was now stuck—unable to move a muscle, only his mouth remained functional as he furiously roared at them.
Meanwhile, at the battlefield, despite having dozens of elite guards protecting him, Yu Zhengqing still took damage—a sharp-clawed eagle had managed to slice his arm open, leaving deep, bloody gashes.
His subordinates, seeing their master injured, were furious.
But just as they finally broke through the encirclement to reach Yu Luo, her guards blocked them!
“You call this ‘protecting’ your young lady?! I think you’re just idiots!”
“And who the hell asked for your opinion?! You have nothing to do with our Miss or our City Lord anymore! Why are you even here?!”
Luo Liu sneered, his sharp tongue mercilessly mocking Yu Zhengqing.
His face darkened in fury, his fingers twitching, itching to draw his sword and slaughter these guards!
Through the gaps in the crowd, he occasionally caught glimpses of Yu Luo’s fluttering robes.
However, the moment he saw her arm moving in the air, his heart dropped.
“Is she… possessed?! Are you all insane?! Retreat now!”
Without waiting for an answer, Yu Zhengqing rushed forward, attempting to grab Yu Luo and pull her out of danger.
But before he could reach her, multiple swords flashed toward him—forcing him and his men to retreat!
Inside the battlefield, Yu Luo’s hand suddenly stopped moving.
At that moment, all the beasts—both flying and land-dwelling—let out a mournful cry.
Then, they ceased their attack… and bowed to the ground.
Arriving late, Chi Jinchen and his men witnessed the scene.
The sight of tens of thousands of beasts suddenly falling silent, unmoving, left them utterly dumbfounded.
Standing mid-air, Chi Jinchen was completely frozen in shock.
His usually calm, confident eyes widened in disbelief.
“Master… w-what’s happening…?”
Chi Jinchen’s lips curved upward in awe.
“Beast Taming.”
“The long-lost art of Beast Taming.”
“No—it was never truly lost. For centuries, no one has been able to command tens of thousands of beasts at once.
I never thought… that today… I would witness such a miraculous sight with my own eyes.”
