The Master of Beasts-Chapter 576 - 145_2

After listening to the Sandstorm Scorpion King’s concise negotiation process, the Sand Ape King nodded and said, "That doesn’t seem too difficult. We just need to capture those Thunder God Temple disciples and bring them here."

"That’s the only way. I’ll go notify the Earth King Snake first, that guy is too gluttonous."

"Alright, then I’ll go organize the fierce beasts. Their strength isn’t inferior to ours."

........

"Slap"

With a slap, the Sandstorm Scorpion King knocked out a Thunder God Temple disciple who only had a One Flower Heavenly Immortal cultivation. He muttered, "The third one, these guys are tough."

Leaving the Gravel Forest address on the ground, the Sandstorm Scorpion King carried the disciple, sank underground, and quickly approached the Gravel Forest.

A quarter of an hour after the Sandstorm Scorpion King left, Ye Cheng arrived here with seven or eight disciples.

"Brother Ye, there’s another message here."

Ye Cheng pushed aside the disciples surrounding the message and read word by word, "Gravel Forest!"

To ensure Ye Cheng and the others wouldn’t get lost, the Sandstorm Scorpion King even drew a small map, marking the location of the Gravel Forest.

"Is this a challenge? These beasts really look down on us!" Ye Cheng laughed angrily.

"Brother Ye...."

"I know. Since they’re using other fellow disciples to lure us over, their lives won’t be in danger for now. Besides, reinforcements from the sects will arrive in three days."

Although Ye Cheng was furious, he didn’t let anger cloud his judgment.

The lingering aura on these messages was familiar to Ye Cheng. Truth be told, even if these Spiritual Beasts gathered together, they couldn’t be his match, so was there a hidden trick in the Gravel Forest?

Returning to the Gravel Forest, the Sandstorm Scorpion King casually tossed the Thunder God Temple disciple into the air. Numerous silk threads wrapped him into a white cocoon and then two black spiders carried it to a stone wall and hung it up.

"We already have thirteen, that should be enough." The Sand Ape King, in human form, looked like a resolute youth.

The Earth King Snake hopped over and said, "Actually, I think one would be enough; let’s eat the rest!"

The Sandstorm Scorpion King replied displeasedly, "Earth King Snake, you’ve eaten a lot already, or we would have had twenty baits here!"

"What do you mean I ate a lot? It was those savage guys who did the eating." The Earth King Snake pointed indignantly at the fierce beasts on the other side.

"Roar!"

The fierce beast pointed to was a dark yellow giant bear, emitting a deafening roar from its mere ten-zhang body, its murderous aura much stronger than that of the Sandstorm Scorpion King.

Stepping back secretly, the Sandstorm Scorpion King forcibly explained, "We’re different from them."

"Heh heh."

The Earth King Snake looked down on the Sandstorm Scorpion King’s actions.

"Alright, the problem now is whether we should capture more Thunder God Temple disciples. I feel Ye Cheng is getting faster, and we might not escape quickly every time." The Sand Ape King said solemnly.

"Let’s leave it at that, it’s true that we might not always leave in time." The Sandstorm Scorpion King pondered and felt that revenge wasn’t as important as their lives.

"Coward."

The Earth King Snake despised him again but didn’t object. After all, Ye Cheng’s strength was indeed superior to the three present, and even the strongest among the fierce beasts couldn’t rival him.

"Then that’s settled. If they don’t come in a few days, we’ll kill everyone."

"Agreed."

"Fine, but I want half."

The Three Beasts finished their discussion, and not long after, they heard shouts from outside the Gravel Forest from the Thunder God Temple disciples.

Gan Meng, with his Thunder God Wings spread, shuddered when he saw the three appear and shrank his neck, shouting, "Three days later, a fight to the death!"

"Swish"

The Scorpion King swept past the spot where Gan Meng stood, leaving a deep furrow. The Sandstorm Scorpion King thought to himself, "What a pity, didn’t catch him."

Gan Meng was also filled with fear, grateful for his speed, almost got caught. But then he thought he was chosen for the task because of his speed, feeling conflicted inside.

Giving a deep glance at the robust man below, Gan Meng quickly flew away, realizing he couldn’t guarantee his safety if such an attack happened several more times.

....

The station of the Golden Clan Blood and that of the You Family are slightly different, resembling yurts surrounding a small oasis.

Aside from the most important Curse Masters, the Blood of the Golden Clan has another type of Body Refiner that incorporates curses. The limit of this cultivation method is the Three Flowers Heavenly Immortal, with low potential yet formidable combat power.

Xue Wen, as the Great Elder of the Blood, is not only the highest cultivation elder within the Blood, but also the staunchest supporter of collaborating with the Thunder God Temple.

With a small red and yellow snake coiled around his neck, Xue Wen looked at the Rescue Order sent by the Thunder God Temple and said indifferently, "Let’s hear your thoughts!"

The Second Elder, Xue Han, snorted coldly and mocked, "Didn’t those people from the Thunder God Temple say that they could easily destroy the Five Elements Sect?"

"It’s been ten years now, and not only have they failed to wipe out the Five Elements Sect, but they can’t even eliminate those disciples of the Five Elements Sect in the Golden Desert. I think we need to reconsider our cooperation with the Thunder God Temple."

"Xue Han, there’s no need to speak like that. Our Blood are not ones to go back on our word." Xue Wen frowned.

Xue Han gave Xue Wen a cold glance, "You are the Great Elder and also a Golden Immortal. I will reserve my opinion."

"There’s no need for that. We are all here for the clan. The Thunder God Temple’s request for aid might just be trying to drag us into their war vehicle forcefully. If they want people, we can just send some Curse Body Guards over." The Third Elder, Xue Yao, mediated.

"Agreed." "Agreed."

The remaining elders also thought Xue Yao’s suggestion was good and agreed one after another.

"Then let’s do it that way. Send ten Curse Body Guards over, but let’s not be too perfunctory—let Curse State lead the team." Xue Wen decided.

"Alright."

.....

Thunder God Temple’s First Exploration City area.

Atop the thousand-zhang high stone tower, a small figure looked up at the azure lightning storm in the sky, his somewhat gloomy face revealing a trace of worry: "Five Elements Sect, I really underestimated you."

"Tap, tap, tap."

"Elder Ye, a Rescue Order has arrived from Ye Cheng!" A burly maid said in a rough voice.

"Isn’t it just an ordinary defense zone? That boy Ye Cheng brought so many people over and still couldn’t handle it?" Ye He said with some dissatisfaction.

The maid did not reply.

Ye He shook his head and smiled wryly, "It is indeed true that the Spiritual Beasts that have appeared from the Five Elements Sect recently have caused quite a lot of trouble. Ye Cheng’s failure is understandable, after all, there’s a master of Spiritual Beast cultivation there."

After pondering for a moment, Ye He said in a deep voice, "Take my token and mobilize a camp of Wind and Thunder Guards to flatten that area completely. As for the Dark Centipede Elder, ignore him."

"Even if they find out we are collaborating with the Blood, so what? The Five Elements Sect no longer has the strength to support them."

"Yes."

A camp of five hundred Wind and Thunder Guards thundered off in a whirlwind of sound.

.....

On the other side, nestled within the Gold-loving Ant nest, Chen Jiuge was also aware of the Sandstorm Scorpion King’s plan.

"A duel?" Chen Jiuge frowned.

This change was something Chen Jiuge had not anticipated. Based on previously gathered information, the disciples sent by the Thunder God Temple this time actually did not exceed the defensive strength range.

Even with the powerful Ye Cheng, if the Black Widow is willing to act, the outcome is also a three-seven split, with the Black Widow being the seven!

Qiu Ruo said worriedly, "Will the Thunder God Temple send reinforcements?"

"It’s not a matter of if they will or won’t, it’s guaranteed they’ll send reinforcements," Chen Jiuge affirmed.

Gu Zhengyu and the Dark Centipede Elder, who were to intercept by Lei Mou, have already failed, and Lei Mou even lost his life, so the news surely can’t be contained.

If I were the Golden Immortal of the Thunder God Temple, knowing that the news cannot be contained, I would not bother to, and instead send people to storm this defensive zone. It would be best if the Blood are involved too, and then launch a massive attack, forcing the Blood to reluctantly comply.

"Then what should we do? Should we call for help?" Qiu Ruo asked anxiously.

Taking out a smooth signal flare, Chen Jiuge contemplated for a moment and shook his head, "Requesting reinforcements is unnecessary. There isn’t much defensive strength in No.1 City. The Thunder God Temple’s reinforcements shouldn’t be too many."

"They’ll probably just send the Wind and Thunder Guards, estimated at one to two hundred people, at most a camp of five hundred, which is not insurmountable."

The Thunder God Temple’s Wind and Thunder Guards are mainly composed of Outer Sect disciples, most with True Immortal strength, with only the captains having Heavenly Immortal strength. A camp has just five Heavenly Immortals; the only one to watch out for is that camp leader with Three Flowers Heavenly Immortal cultivation.

"Looks like we’re going to bleed again."

Chen Jiuge sensed the abundance of Spiritual Beasts in the Chaos World and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly; these were all resources painstakingly deducted from the Sect distribution.
