The Master of Beasts-Chapter 509 - 113_2

Li Meng shook his head, and Li Meng explained: "The management of the Five Elements Sect is very lax, and their disciples rarely compete for cultivation resources outside, which has led to the Five Elements Sect having an excellent reputation. Other sects are willing to befriend the disciples of the Five Elements Sect."

"However, they are very protective. This disciple of the Five Elements Sect has an unusual status, being a direct disciple. If he dies here, the Five Elements Sect will certainly make a big fuss, and then our Thunder God Temple will have sufficient excuse to intervene."

Lei Ying sneered twice and said: "Indeed, it’s either the disciple of the Five Elements Sect dies or we die. Li Meng, you should see the situation clearly."

Thinking about his own situation, Li Meng also showed a hint of determination in his eyes. Unlike the atmosphere of the Five Elements Sect, the competition in the Thunder God Temple is extremely brutal, even for a genius like Lei Ying, there is a constant risk of falling.

"I understand."

...

As night fell, Ao Tu stood on an ancient tree at the outermost perimeter, overlooking the military camp of Wu Country. With a light wave of the green magic wand in his hand, countless green lights surged into the warriors of the Plant and Tree Tribes. Under the infusion of green light, their auras astonishingly soared by at least one level.

"Children, go forth, let these humans understand the meaning of life!"

"Oh oh oh oh!"

Being the darlings of the forest, the Plant and Tree Tribes stealthily approached the military camp of Wu Country.

The sentinels of Wu Country never expected those lowly alien races dared to attack the camp, and without a sound, they turned into corpses. Countless Plant and Tree Tribes infiltrated the camp, assassinating the armored soldiers of Wu Country until the dense smell of blood could no longer be concealed.

"You’re courting death!" Wu Tian’s furious voice rang out, instantly awakening the remaining soldiers.

Chen Jiuge also awoke from cultivation, and at Chen Jiuge’s signal, Wufu swiftly darted out of the tent, returning soon to report: "Master, people outside are dead, so many dead!"

"Master, the general requests your action; the Plant and Tree Tribes are attacking the camp." An armored soldier covered in blood said respectfully.

"I understand."

Chen Jiuge released the Lightning Sculpture, gently stroked its smooth forehead and said: "Go."

"Screech!"

The Lightning Sculpture transformed into a stream of light, attacking those alien races.

"Thank you, Master." This armored soldier was not weak, having reached the Pure Yang True Monarch Realm.

"Come with me, why would the Plant and Tree Tribes attack the camp? Has anything like this ever happened before?" Chen Jiuge asked.

The armored soldier behind the mask also looked puzzled: "Master, I’m not very sure either. Our army has been stationed here for many years, and these alien races have never attacked the camp before?"

"Never before?" Chen Jiuge was taken aback for a moment, then continued: "Then has anything special happened recently?"

The soldier thought for a while, but eventually shook his head.

"Crack!"

Accidentally stepping on a broken limb, Chen Jiuge frowned slightly, shaking off the minced flesh from his foot without a word.

"So it’s you!" A petite figure slowly emerged from the darkness.

Chen Jiuge looked at the Plant and Tree Tribe member wielding a dagger in front of him and said in surprise: "Alien?"

The soldier behind him suddenly collapsed to the ground. Under the probe of his Divine Sense, Chen Jiuge found that his entire form was left with only a skin; the blood and flesh within had completely disappeared.

"So your sudden attack was meant to kill me?" Chen Jiuge said, somewhat incredulous.

"Killing you is just incidental, the main goal is to eliminate you people who don’t respect life."

"You may die now!"

Silent and unnoticeable, the dagger of the Plant and Tree Tribe was already at Chen Jiuge’s throat.

"Hiss!"

The Netherworld Snake disguising as a bracelet trembled slightly. The confident Plant and Tree Tribe member suddenly had a blood hole appear on their forehead, revealing disbelief in their eyes.

My cultivation is at True Immortal Twelfth Layer Heaven, the best in the tribe at speed and assassination, what just happened?

Touching the Netherworld Snake on his wrist, Chen Jiuge had a bad premonition: "Why do these aliens know about my existence and specifically send someone to kill me?"

"Could it be Wu Tian? No, it shouldn’t be him!"

In the sky above the camp, Wu Tian and the Plant and Tree Tribes’ Ao Tu are engaged in fierce combat. With the power of the Immortal Artifact, Wu Tian can barely hold on despite his lesser cultivation, but the ordinary armored soldiers of the camp are almost unable to keep going.

"Interesting, the strength of this alien race is beyond what Wu Tian’s armored soldiers can handle, so why hasn’t it been discovered all these years?"

"Let me see who’s behind the deception!"

With a wave of his hand, he released the Green Rhombus Snake and the Netherworld Devouring Tiger. These two Spiritual Beasts were cultivated early on, when there were neither Divine Crystals nor abundant resources. Though they were supplied with some later, their cultivation only reached an average level due to frequent wasted mutations, True Immortal Twentieth Layer Heaven.

"Go ahead, no need to hold back."

"Hiss hiss hiss" "Awoo"

The two beasts let out bloodthirsty roars, charging towards the area where the immortal power wave is strongest.

Lei Ying, concealed in the void with a Secret Treasure, unconsciously turned the wrist guard in his hand: "Five Spiritual Beasts, two at True Immortal Thirty-One Layer Heaven, and two around the Twentieth Layer Heaven. That hidden rat’s cultivation should be slightly higher, but hasn’t reached Little Heavenly Immortal yet."

Li Meng gritted his teeth: "A little guy at True Immortal Fifth Layer Heaven, how could he have so many high-level Spiritual Beasts? Aren’t the elders of the Five Elements Sect afraid his Divine Soul won’t withstand it?"

"Alright, enough about that. Do we make a move now or probe further? I feel he probably has more up his sleeve." Li Meng said, somewhat gravely.

Lei Ying sighed inwardly and took out a massive puppet from his Storage Ring, gently stroking it with some reluctance: "Let’s probe further, best if he has no other measures. If there are, even my puppet can still entangle that Netherworld Snake."

"Brother Lei, you really are willing to spare no expense. Is this a Little Heavenly Immortal puppet from the Puppet Sect?" Li Meng inhaled deeply.

The Puppet Sect specializes in crafting puppets, its sect members notorious for trickery. In a battle, you might never see the face of the Puppet Sect disciple fighting you, and the price of a puppet with Little Heavenly Immortal prowess is absurdly high.

At least, Li Meng couldn’t afford such a puppet with all his current assets.

Lei Ying gently tapped the puppet’s head, and its sunken eyes suddenly emitted two beams of red light, revealing two daggers of First Revolutions Immortal Soldier quality in its hands.

"Assassin-type Little Heavenly Immortal puppet!" Li Meng was startled by Lei Ying’s action.

"Go, kill him!" Lei Ying gave the puppet a simple command without further explanation.

"Swish" "Bang"

The rapidly expanding body of the Netherworld Snake blocked the puppet’s dagger. Despite its agile speed, the scales’ defense was not strong, and the dagger deeply pierced its body.

Given the Netherworld Snake’s height of hundreds of meters, this insignificant damage was merely an external wound, yet the slight sting made it somewhat frenzy.

"Hiss hiss hiss"

The enormous sound of snake cries rose, and the frenzied Netherworld Snake’s incessantly swinging tail left dense afterimages in the night sky, momentarily striking even the assassin-type puppet multiple times.

In the void, Lei Ying’s expression was grim: "It’s actually a real Netherworld Snake, damn it!"

Li Meng slowly stood up: "Looks like we need to make a move ourselves!"

"A swift battle, it’s crucial as this is a Five Elements Sect’s outpost." Li Meng also said solemnly.

If a Direct Disciple of the Five Elements Sect dies, the Life Plate shatters, showing the place of birth, unlike Inner Sect Disciples. Nearby elders of the Five Elements Sect’s outpost would immediately come to inspect the situation.

Elders in such a post at least possess Heavenly Immortal cultivation, posing a considerable threat to the trio.

Pushed aside at the moment of the assault, Chen Jiuge deeply looked at the nearby Netherworld Snake and the puppet, highly alert in his heart: "They are clearly targeting me."

Silently releasing two clouds from the tree house, these are special Spiritual Beasts cultivated by Chen Jiuge—the Cloud Mist Beasts.

Cloud Mist Beasts have exceptional concealing abilities, combined with their unique life form, making them the best covert guardians.

Wufu’s body ignited with light golden flames, its small sharp claws extended from tender pads: "Master, there is danger!"

After the final mutation, Wufu awakened a unique danger sensing ability, capable of sensing nearby threats in advance.

"Thunder God’s Fury!"

Three reverberations echoed, and brilliant silver thunderbolts instantly engulfed Chen Jiuge’s figure, even ravaging nearby tents.

This huge commotion immediately drew Wu Tian’s attention, who was engaged in intense combat with Ao Tu.

"Damn it, you are courting death!" Wu Tian yelled furiously and fearfully.

If a Five Elements Sect disciple dies in Wu Country, he’d face severe consequences, if not death!
