Paragon of Sin

water art, was shocked as his body was sent flying in the distance.
As for the one with the net, he was too close, so when Bai Lin erupted in flames, he was turned into ash.

With a shrug of her feathers, removing the molten liquid metal from her feathers, unharmed, her golden eyes saw the speck of ash that was her attacker.
She smiled with contempt. 

Phuuu!

A sound reminiscent of a dart gun ’s firing resounded, causing Bai Lin ’s ears to perk up.
She turned to see a needle enter her golden shroud, but it was met with the same fate as the net, melting into nothing.
A little bit away from her was a woman, her eyes filled with shock as she saw her dart be rendered useless.

”Impossible! That ’s a Blaze-Resistant Tranquilizer Dart… ” these darts were useful against fire-type beasts, capable of existing in unusually high-temperatures. 

Kree!

Bai Lin did not show mercy because the perpetrator was female.
Her golden eyes released concentrated fiery rays that traveled to her chest in a blink.
Before she could even move, she was obliterated into dust.

”We are the Beast-Taming Sect, how could a measly crane that consumed a Golden Phoenix Fruit be capable of resisting our capture? ” An older man descended.
He wore orange robes with the emblem of a man riding a western-style dragon.
It ’s lizard-like form was menacing yet graceful.

Bai Lin ’s eyes narrowed slightly.
This old man ’s aura was quite strong.
While she was confident of her strength, she didn ’t think herself invincible.
She was about to fly off to seek Wei Wuyin.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

「Bloodline Flame Suppression Formation」

”Formation: Activate! ” She heard a cacophony of voices from males, females, young and old arise from all directions.
A brilliant, bright orange light erupted in all directions like towers.
Her heart trembled with anxiety.
She felt that she needed to escape.

Without hesitating any longer, she erupted with a wide-range beam of golden fiery energies in hopes to incinerate all comers.
However, the old man coldly snorted and executed a single handseal, causing the world to briefly tremble.

「Spiritual Spell: Beast ’s Mind-Echo」

She felt dizzy, her bloodline feeling as if it was suppressed somehow while a ceaselessly resounding echo smashed her senses.
Her golden light and flames were doused, and her eyes became somewhat dull.
She had never felt so suppressed before.

kree…

She tried to cry out, in hopes that Wei Wuyin would hear.
Unfortunately, she had flown too far in her fun. 

Clink!

Before she knew it, the old man arrived and placed a shackle to her neck, while slipping a muzzle and shades over her mouth and eyes.
She couldn ’t cry or see any longer.
The weakness of her body overtook her as she felt her mind bombarded by all sorts of spiritual spells until she completely lost consciousness.

”Such a tough one, ” the old man grinned.
Their losses weren ’t nearly as great as their gains.
This crane had consumed a Golden Phoenix Fruit and awakened her innate bloodline.
Fortunately, she hadn ’t undergone Ancestral Awakening, otherwise they ’d be all dead.

Soon numerous steps arrived, revealing the nearly a hundred people that had worked in conjunction to execute that powerful formation.
They all wore the colors and unique attire of the Beast-Taming Sect, sporting their emblem.

A short, stout young man excitedly approached the elder, his eyes flashing with immense jubilation as he stared at Bai Lin ’s entrapped form.
”Elder Kai, this beast doesn ’t have a spiritual brand! We ’re so lucky. ” 

A spiritual brand was often used to enslave beasts and force their obedience.
It was used when wild beasts were captured, but Bai Lin was nurtured since birth in the Scarlet Solaris Sect and given to Wei Wuyin at a rather young age, so she didn ’t need a spiritual brand.

Elder Kai laughed, the joy infectious as others joined in.
Looking at him clearly, he was tall, thin, middle-aged, with thin lips and large eyes.
”We ’re quite lucky.
We ’ve been searching for this beast since hearing about it in the Xin Country.
Who would ’ve thought it would be spotted in the Hidden Shadow Domain, our domain! ”

Bai Lin had awakened her bloodline abilities in the Xin Country, near the Eden Earth Sect, but she stayed in hiding and away from humans for too long.
They had nearly forgotten about her until reports came in that she was freely traveling near their sect ’s headquarters.

It was like a pie fell from the sky and landed on your lap.
How could you not take it? Even if others could resist the temptation, they definitely could not.

”We ’re the foremost experts in beast nurturing and taming, with a beast that actually has the potential for Ancestral Awakening, the heavens are helping us! ” They were all too happy.

”We return to the sect immediately! ” Elder Kai announced.
In moments, everyone got ready to transport Bai Lin to the sect.
