The Master of Beasts-Chapter 583 - 149

"I thought you couldn't see me." Hei Mu said with a hint of grievance. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Originally, it was to learn Chen Jiuge's secret technique that he came stealthily to Star Moon City, but unexpectedly, he became his subordinate, which is truly sorrowful!

Under Zhu Ying's introduction, Chen Jiuge understood the current situation of Black Crow Elder and remarked with a peculiar expression, "I didn't expect such a fateful encounter!"

The Black Crow Elder chuckled bitterly, "Just call me Hei Mu. Now I'm just mixing in under your command to make a living."

"Too much, too much, you are a senior after all."

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Jiuge began arranging for the caravan members to rest within the Gold-loving Ant nest.

"Since it's confirmed, City Lord, now that you're safe, I need to bring this news back as soon as possible." Zhu Ying said to Chen Jiuge after settling everyone in.

"So soon? Aren't you going to rest for a few days?"

"No, there are many people in the city waiting for your news." Zhu Ying shook his head.

Chen Jiuge frowned and pondered for a moment, then said, "Zi Jing Blossom has been rebuilt with great effort and this trade journey shouldn't return empty-handed. There's plenty of refined gold in the Gold-loving Ant nest, take as much as you can."

"Refined gold? Don't you need it?" Zhu Ying asked in return.

As a very versatile material, refined gold is quite popular.

"I don't need it. My main force here is Spiritual Beasts. Although Immortal Weapons can enhance the strength of Spiritual Beasts, they're not cost-effective and can easily become the enemy's resources."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Zhu Ying agreed readily.

The caravan departed on the third day.

"Left so soon?" Qiu Ruo said somewhat disappointedly.

Although their main purpose was to transport Spiritual Beasts for Chen Jiuge, there were still some other goods, including small items that Qiu Ruo liked very much.

"If they don't leave, they'll be recruited here. If Junior Chen didn't know the caravan leader, they probably wouldn't come to us either." Tian Yue shook his head.

The Death Dark Zone was one of the defense areas closest to the Thunder God Temple, and at any moment, it could fall into war, making it unlikely for any caravans to venture here as the income doesn't outweigh the losses.

.......

"Woo woo woo"

The oppressive horn sounded, and Ye He looked at the pitch-black Wind and Thunder Guards below and solemnly said, "We will win this battle!"

"Victory!" "Victory!"

With slogans resounding through the sky, the Wind and Thunder Guards began orderly marching towards the Five Elements Sect's defense zone.

Leading one of the Wind and Thunder Guard units was Ye Cheng, who glanced at the Death Dark Zone's position and sighed, "I hope you're still alive, next time I will surely take your head!"

On the other side, Xue Family, the Great Elder Xue Wen, holding a black skull cane, slowly walked onto the high platform.

With sharp eyes that harshly swept over the towering Curse Body Warriors below, draped under black robes, the Curse Masters were enveloped in mystery, Xue Wen said sinisterly, "Since those outsiders came in, our tribe's territory has shrunk again and again."

"At the height of the tribe's glory, the territory was a hundred times larger than now, and resources were more than a hundredfold."

"For the tribe's sake, I ask everyone to fight desperately."

The roars of the Curse Body Warriors and the eerie laughter of the Curse Masters mixed together.

.....

Three Tree Defense Zone, it's one of the defense zones closest to the Thunder God Temple, just like the Death Dark Zone.

But unlike Chen Jiuge's reliance on Spiritual Beast defenses, the disciples stationed at Three Tree Defense Zone were very powerful, with as many as five Three Flowers Celestial Immortals; the leader among them was also a top-notch expert among the Inner Sect disciples.

Mu Yue leaned lazily against a tree induced to grow, a bit bored as he said, "Do you think the Thunder God Temple will still stir up a war?"

Mu Cen looked up at the sky and said, "Is that even a question? The outside has yet to cease fire, and it's said that the largest battlefields have already turned into meat grinders, True Immortals entering wouldn't even make a splash, and Heavenly Immortals barely make a sound."

"Sigh, Mu Cen, do you think that traitor's nurturing of Spiritual Beasts is really that formidable? They have four people; Gu Zhenyu is a Core Disciple, but his cultivation is only Two Flowers Celestial Immortal, yet they can defend a zone like us." Mu Yue curiously asked.

"I don't know, but the fallen Thunder God Temple's Three Flowers Celestial Immortals are not a lie." Mu Cen was also very puzzled in his heart.

"Do you think there's a possibility that the traitor is colluding with the Thunder God Temple..."

"Shut up." Defense Zone Deacon Mu Hun sternly said.

Although the three were all Inner Sect disciples of the Wood Lineage, Mu Hun did not bear the surname 'Mu', thus held no prejudice against Chen Jiuge's lineage.

Though they spoke of Chen Jiuge as a traitor, Mu Hun wasn't pleased but chose not to comment. However, as their talks grew excessive, it couldn't go unnoticed anymore.

"Sigh, Mu Hun, it was just idle talk." Mu Yue said with some discontent.

"You...."

Before the words left his mouth, a brilliant firework appeared in the sky.

"Distress signal, the Thunder God Temple has invaded!" Mu Hun said in shock.

Although knowing the Thunder God Temple's invasion was inevitable, it was still too soon, merely taking a few years, like a nap to a cultivator.

Just as the three used their escape techniques, they hadn't gone far when they were blocked by a large group of Curse Body Warriors laden with evil spells.

"Golden Clan Blood's Curse Body Warriors, what a joke, they really have allied."

The Five Mountains Venerable had already reported the alliance between Thunder God Temple and Xue Family, but without Gu Zhengyu and Dark Centipede Elder's Imprint Stone, these Golden Immortals were somewhat skeptical.

After all, such a big secret meeting being discovered by a Loose Cultivator seemed rather ludicrous, didn't it?

Though not entirely convinced, the information was still passed to each Defense Zone Deacon.

"Mu Hun, one of the outstanding representatives of the Five Elements Sect's Wood Lineage Inner Sect disciples, let me test your strength!" Ye Cheng walked out from the crowd with a cold sneer, the blood-colored spear in his hand gleamed with a bloodthirsty brilliance.
