The Master of Beasts-Chapter 498 - 108: The Aftermath
The sudden voice startled the leader of the black-clad men, and his muscle memory from years of training prompted him to immediately use an escape technique to retreat.
In just an instant, the black-clad man had escaped nearly five hundred miles, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead: "I should be safe now."
A hand rested on the leader’s shoulder as Gu Zhengyu sneered: "Don’t resist! Answer my questions properly!"
The leader’s face stiffened, and from afar came a series of screams, hundreds of faint blue figures were wantonly slaughtering!
"Water Clone, Gu Zhengyu, Core Disciple of Five Elements Sect!"
"Since you know my name, I shouldn’t have to lift a hand then." Gu Zhengyu said proudly.
"Hehe, I thought I could save my skin and enjoy some leisure this time, but alas, my beauties are gone." The leader of the black-clad men chuckled begrudgingly. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"In front of me you may...."
Before Gu Zhengyu could finish his sentence, the leader’s Divine Soul was completely shattered.
"Soul Restriction, a skilled practitioner of True Immortal Thirty Layer Heaven who can let his fate be controlled by others, it seems the enemy isn’t simple." Gu Zhengyu murmured with a frown.
.....
Mo Ming looked at the dark purple Life Plate that had shattered completely in his hand, revealing a regretful expression: "It failed huh? Looks like Gu Zhengyu was there."
The Old Jade Flood Dragon chuckled twice and said: "He’s a Core Disciple of Five Elements Sect, your subordinates can only handle ordinary disciples."
"Of course, but it’s enough. Even though those who came to the Jade Flood Dragon Secret Realm have average potential and backgrounds, still it’s painful enough for Five Elements Sect, considering most are Inner Sect disciples." Mo Ming replied undeterred.
"You’re wrong, I can sense an annoying presence, the descendant of those Five Elements Sect people who once cleaned the Secret Realm, her status shouldn’t be low." The Old Jade Flood Dragon mocked.
"Is that so, then that’s a real pity, but it doesn’t matter, this was just a greeting, have you thought about it? Want to come with me?" Mo Ming said lightly.
"What difference does it make if I go with you or not?" The Old Jade Flood Dragon said shamelessly.
"If you don’t come with me, just stay here, after all, after so many years, you should be used to it."
"If you come with me, become my Spiritual Beast."
"Gagaga, what makes you qualified to make me your Spiritual Beast?" The Old Jade Flood Dragon’s dragon face showed a haughty expression.
Dark green flames rose from Mo Ming’s hand, despite the blazing sun, this flame spread an eerie aura for miles.
The vibrant earth was continuously corroded, the thriving trees turned to ash.
The Old Jade Flood Dragon watched the dark green flame with a solemn expression, and spoke heavily: "Now you’re qualified!"
"Come with me, I will show you the real world!"
"Then I will go with you, let me see it!"
As a dim Light Gate opened, Mo Ming, leading the Old Jade Flood Dragon, and followed by a large group of black-clad men, slowly left the Secret Realm!
.......
The black-clad men were cleaned out, and the losses of the Five Elements Sect were revealed.
In the Jade Flood Dragon Secret Realm, there were a total of one thousand two hundred Inner and Outer Sect disciples of the Five Elements Sect, while the remaining eight thousand eight hundred were disciples affiliated with the sect, or Loose Cultivators and small family members who obtained the Jade Flood Dragon Secret Realm Token through other means.
Among them, One hundred thirty-two Inner Sect disciples died or were injured, while three hundred forty-five Outer Sect disciples were harmed, and damages among other participants exceeded half, truly a heavy loss.
Not only were disciple losses significant, but even more affected was the reputation of the Five Elements Sect, as small Secret Realms like the Jade Flood Dragon Secret Realm have always been a benefit given by the sect to affiliated families, and a major source of revenue.
With this incident occurring, if the Five Elements Sect doesn’t respond, will anyone dare recklessly enter other Secret Realms when they open in the future?
Fortunately, these matters are unrelated to disciples like Tian Yue; even Core Disciples like Gu Zhengyu can’t handle it, and as for Chen Jiuge, he cares even less.
"Junior Chen, what’s the mission of the Eight-direction Saint in the Jade Flood Dragon Secret Realm this time?" Tian Yue inquired.
"It’s to collect Jade Flood Dragons." Chen Jiuge straightforwardly replied.
"Jade Flood Dragons huh, Junior, you seem to really have ventured out, maybe I should ask other juniors, someone might have gotten them." Tian Yue suggested.
"No need, I’ve actually cultivated a few myself, but I’m not sure if the little Jade Flood Dragons count as completing the mission." Chen Jiuge said helplessly.
Several small Jade Flood Dragons wrapped around fingers emitted cute cries toward Tian Yue, which indeed embarrassed the face of the Flood Dragon.
"Ah.. this." Tian Yue stammered, unsure how to describe.
Conversely, Qiu Ruo’s eyes sparkled with hearts as she anxiously stared at the little Jade Flood Dragons and said: "So cute!"
"Brother Chen, congratulations, it looks like I have to change my address to call you nephew." Miao Pan, accompanied by Wen Wan, stepped out from the crowd.
"Third Saintess?" Tian Yue exclaimed in surprise.
The cold Gu Zhengyu suddenly spoke: "Chen Jiuge, you don’t necessarily have to join the Eight-direction Saint; I’ve already informed my Master of the events here."
"Gu Zhengyu!" Miao Pan protested, feeling displeased, what is this, snatching people right in front of me!
Gu Zhengyu glanced at Miao Pan, remained silent, and transformed into a stream of blue water to fly away.
Nearby, Luo Hao was cursing Luo Yi and Luo Xin angrily; these two fellows truly shame him.
Seeing the chaotic scene, Miao Pan swiftly pulled Chen Jiuge and said: "Come with me."
After threading through the crowd, they reached the City Lord Mansion, and Miao Pan directly led Chen Jiuge to her temporary courtyard.
