The Master of Beasts-Chapter 543 - 129
A quarter of an hour later, Wen Mo finally relaxed. He had some understanding of the preciousness of the Elemental Spiritual Beast, and if that person had really acted to snatch it, he might not have been able to keep it.
After tidying up his somewhat disheveled outfit, Wen Mo’s face lit up with a gentle smile. Just as he was about to move forward, a clear, cold voice sounded, shattering his good mood.
"Senior Brother, where have you been?"
Wen Mo’s face froze, quickly regaining composure, and turned his head, saying, "Ah, it’s Junior Sister Ning. I’ve spent too much time cultivating, so I went out for a breath of fresh air."
With a cold, ancient gaze, Ning Shuang glanced at Wen Mo, then spoke with implied meaning, "Elder Lan is from the Lan Family and also your master. You must not disappoint Elder Lan!"
"Naturally, my master has treated me with such care. I certainly won’t let him down in this assessment," Wen Mo replied with a smile.
"Let’s hope so."
Watching Ning Shuang’s graceful figure vanish before him, Wen Mo’s face was covered in frost: "I must find an opportunity to deal with her."
......
Fire Hall, within a certain cave mansion
Clusters of Nanming Leaving Fire floated in the cave mansion. The young man who had previously met with Wen Mo was now respectfully reporting to a small, elderly man.
"Water Elf? Are you sure you weren’t mistaken?" The thin and small Elder Hou Weifeng of the Fire Hall asked in surprise.
"Disciple can guarantee, it is definitely a Water Elf, not one of those inferior Lower Realm Elves. The Water Elf Wen Mo holds contains power far surpassing those from the Lower Realm, and its whole body is pure Spiritual Energy." The young man assured.
"Interesting. Seems the Zi family’s people underestimated that kid’s talent." Hou Weifeng chuckled lightly.
"Master, what should we do?" The young man asked cautiously.
Hou Weifeng’s face turned cold, and with a sudden swipe, the youth was knocked to the corner.
"You’re my disciple, Hou Weifeng. Is your intention to support the Zi family?"
"I wouldn’t dare, disciple wouldn’t dare."
Watching the young man repeatedly kowtow and beg for mercy, Hou Weifeng sneered, "As long as you don’t dare. Pass the message to that fellow Zi Ao, and whatever plans the Zi family has is none of our business."
"Also, send the image of your transaction with Wen Mo to Lan Zetian, as a favor."
"Yes, Master."
Hou Weifeng looked at the obedient young man with satisfaction, gathering a cluster of Nanming Leaving Fire in the cave mansion and condensing it into a Fire Crystal, saying, "Don’t say I’m treating you poorly. This Fire Crystal is enough for your cultivation to advance further, and if lucky, you might even enter the Inner Sect."
"Thank you, Master."
"Alright, go about your business."
After watching his foolish disciple leave, Hou Weifeng snorted coldly, "The Zi family is really arrogant, but unfortunately, those people are not easy to mess with. This time, they might suffer a great loss."
...
The usually peaceful Five Elements Sect was now surging with hidden currents.
Zi Family
Zi Ao was reporting excitedly to his Golden Immortal elder, Zi Xing.
"Water Elf?" Zi Xing frowned.
At the level of a Golden Immortal, a Water Elf, an extinct Spiritual Beast for countless years, didn’t stir any ripples in his heart, as its highest cultivation once was only Golden Immortal.
Although such Spiritual Beasts have many benefits for cultivators practicing the Five Elements Dao, they’re only useful for those below Golden and Heavenly Immortal.
"Indeed, it’s my friend Hou Weifeng who personally investigated," Zi Ao replied respectfully.
"Hou Weifeng?" Zi Xing sneered coldly, "Do you know what kind of person Hou Weifeng is? Good thing, this old thing is even older than me. If not for his close relationship with the current Sect Master, he’d have died during some mission a long time ago."
Zi Ao was shocked, not daring to hide any longer, explaining, "Three thousand years ago, Hou Weifeng asked me for some spiritual vegetables aged a hundred thousand years, owing me a favor."
"I see. Though that old thing is rather cunning, he’s reliable when it comes to repaying favors." Zi Xing nodded knowingly.
"Send someone to place an order for Water Elf at the Heart of All Things. No, the Heart of All Things doesn’t have such Spiritual Beasts. Contact the other four halls, spread news of the Water Elf, and then jointly pressure the Spiritual Beast Garden."
"Remember, it’s the Spiritual Beast Garden, not just Zone Three Garden." Zi Xing advised.
"Why? If we pressure the entire Spiritual Beast Garden, it would be much more intense." Zi Ao questioned.
Zi Xing looked at Zi Ao disdainfully, truly not understanding how such a thing could be of his direct bloodline, and said sternly, "Just do as I say, no need for all this nonsense!" 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Yes, Elder."
...
The reactions of the other four halls were just as Zi Xing predicted, even the Jin Hall, initially least concerned, convened a secret council upon hearing of the Five Elements Elves’ existence.
As the elders of each hall maneuvered, the previously calm Five Elements Sect began to surge with hidden currents, though Chen Jiuge was unaware of all this.
Zone Three Garden
Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, five Five Elements Elves of different colors were arranged in a circle according to the mutual generation and restraint of the Five Elements.
Chen Jiuge took out a white Array Plate, and with a slight motion, countless array patterns extended from the feet of the Five Elements Elves, a beam of light shot straight into the sky.
"Is this the former Five Elements Rotating Array?" Chen Jiuge exclaimed in astonishment, even though they were merely Five Elements Elves at the twentieth layer of True Immortal, their formation’s explosive power was enough to obliterate a Little Heavenly Immortal, and if the number of Five Elements Elves were increased, could it also match a Heavenly Immortal?
"How is its power so strong?" Shuibing, observing, also had eyes filled with disbelief.
