The Master of Beasts-Chapter 604 - 159_2

"For example, the former Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect, Liu Gandang, in order to satisfy his own desires, deliberately blocked the ascension paths of many small worlds. Those Ascenders who could have shone brightly were all imprisoned by him and turned into slaves."

"Then there's the Thunder God Temple, a sect that has already rotted to the core and is on the verge of becoming a complete gathering place for violence and obscenity."

"And then..."

"Wait, what does this have to do with me?" Chen Jiuge asked discontentedly.

"How can it not? What if I told you that the Heavenly Realm you're in has also been targeted by Liu Gandang, can you still say it has nothing to do with you?" Shuibing whispered with warm breath close to Chen Jiuge's ear.

His pupils shrank, and Chen Jiuge shook his head frantically, "Impossible, the Heavenly Realm was left with an ascension altar right under everyone's noses. He can't do it."

"Who knows?"

"Haven't you noticed you haven't seen your senior brothers and sisters for a long time?" Shuibing changed the subject.

"What happened to them?" Chen Jiuge pressed on.

"Nothing, we just saved them," Shuibing didn't say much more.

"So, do you want to join us?" Shuibing changed the topic smoothly.

Chen Jiuge let out a couple of cold laughs, but at the thought of what Shuibing said about Liu Gandang, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Thinking of his master, Senior Sister, and many, many friends in the Heavenly Realm, the refusal on the tip of his tongue unexpectedly couldn't be spoken.

"Why say so much, let him see for himself!" Mo Ming coldly threw out a stack of books and parchments.

"Alright then, we'll temporarily stay in Star Moon City, and I hope you'll inform me of your decision," Shuibing nodded with a bright smile.

Staring at the golden parchments, Chen Jiuge was in a daze for a long time. Finally, he reached out and opened them, murmuring to himself, "A terrorist organization?"

....

Three hundred thousand years ago, the destruction of Bai Feng City, known for its beauties, resulted in most of the female cultivators becoming the imprisoned slaves of Daluo.

Two hundred eighty thousand years ago, a Daluo blood-sacrificed millions just to consecrate a Holy Weapon.

That same year, a Daluo stumbled upon an Ascender, followed the ascension path to a small world, and in just a few thousand years, utterly destroyed that small world, causing countless deaths.

...

Ten thousand years ago, the Sect Master of the Five Elements Sect, Liu Gandang, was deposed by the joint decision of other Supreme Elders because he imprisoned numerous Ascenders as his exclusive captives, significantly reducing the number of disciples in the current generation of the Five Elements Sect.

To avoid punishment, Liu Gandang gifted the well-trained Ascenders to those Supreme Elders; eventually, he was sentenced to ten thousand years of imprisonment.

Chen Jiuge stared fixedly at this information, his face extremely gloomy: "So this is true!"

"Why haven't I seen my senior brother and Senior Sister Yue for so long, and why did Shuibing say they were the ones who saved them."

"For someone not weak among the Daluo, it's impossible that he would use such trivial tactics to deceive me. If that were the case, he'd be better off forcing me to join, and I wouldn't be able to resist. So, is all this true?"

"So, what is your hobby, Master Ancestor?" Chen Jiuge felt deeply unsettled inside.

The last line of each parchment read: "Endless life span only brings endless harm!"

"So, your goal is to plan to put life span shackles back on all Immortals? But how can such a thing be possible!" Chen Jiuge was somewhat shocked.

.....

Five Elements Sect

Shen Buhai looked at the No.3 Medicinal Food Workshop Master, Huang Tiantian, kneeling on the ground before him, and asked curiously, "You've reached this position and broken through to Heavenly Immortal, a promising future awaits you. Why betray the sect?"

"The treatment at the Medicinal Food Workshop isn't bad, no need to risk your life, the perks aren't lacking, so why do this?"

Huang Tiantian blinked his small bean-like eyes and shouted loudly, "I'm innocent! I didn't betray the sect!"

"Slap"

"Heavenly Gate? What kind of organization is that?" Shen Buhai was curious.

Huang Tiantian's whole body went stiff and stopped proclaiming his innocence, only remaining silent.

"Do you think remaining silent will work, you're not unfamiliar with Soul Search, are you?" Shen Buhai retorted.

Huang Tiantian still didn't respond, Shen Buhai shook his head and stopped asking, his vast divine soul directly penetrated Huang Tiantian's mental defenses, but upon seeing the cold little snake coiled in his Sea of Consciousness, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Soul-devouring Snake!"

The True Realm has many strange spiritual beasts, the Soul-devouring Snake being one of them. This small snake is invisible to the naked eye and can only be seen with a spiritual body, and its food is the divine soul. Whether it's a human or another entity's divine soul, it can consume it.

"Even something like this can be obtained, this Heavenly Gate is truly not to be underestimated!" Shen Buhai sighed.

As Shen Buhai pondered how to handle Huang Tiantian, a message suddenly arrived in his Sea of Consciousness, a trace of astonishment flashed across his face, and finally, he looked at Huang Tiantian strangely, gesturing, "Alright, you can step down."

Preparing to face death, Huang Tiantian was somewhat shocked, pointing to himself: "Step down? You're not going to imprison me?"

"No need, just go. If that's your request, I can fulfill it!" Shen Buhai said with some disdain.

Who wants to die if they can live? Huang Tiantian quickly got up and ran.

"Why?" Shen Buhai's deep voice echoed in the grand hall.

With strands of gray hair and the appearance of a middle-aged handsome man, Zi Hao placed a hand on Shen Buhai's shoulder and said softly, "Don't you think the True Realm needs some changes?"

"And then?" Shen Buhai frowned.

"Like our former Sect Master, Liu Gandang!" Zi Hao's magnetic voice drilled into Shen Buhai's mind.

Shen Buhai was silent. Who knows how long passed, the grand hall had plunged into darkness. Shen Buhai closed his eyes and then reopened them: "The former Sect Master, huh? Maybe you're right."

Zi Hao had already left. Perhaps he knew that Shen Buhai would eventually agree.

Back at his cave mansion, Huang Tiantian plopped down on the ground, his forehead covered in cold sweat. Spirit Food kept appearing in his hands, and his plump body shifted uneasily, continuously devouring the delicious Spirit Food with his large, gaping mouth.

"I hope there won't be a next time."

The sudden magnetic voice made Huang Tiantian tremble all over.

Without refuting, without arguing, Huang Tiantian knelt down formally, his usually carefree face showing sadness: "My lord, if it means exposing the organization, please kill me. As long as I can avenge my sister, I'm willing to do anything."

Zi Hao's deep eyes showed a hint of sorrow: "I know, I know, don't worry, everything will get better."

"Thank you for saving me, my lord." Huang Tiantian said respectfully.

"Just do your duty well. I'll help you handle some of the organization's tasks, and I'll take some tasks off your shoulders. During this time, just focus on being the Master of the Medicinal Food Workshop."

"Yes!"

...

Star Moon City

Mo Yu's face rarely showed panic and confusion. Her fair little hands tightly grasped the scroll in her hand, veins bulging.

"How could this be, how could this be."

Mo Ming watched from a distance as Mo Yu entered the small room where Chen Jiuge was, Bai Wei curiously asked: "Just going to watch like this?"

"The intelligence we provided is all true. Although we didn't specifically point out which Daluo was responsible, anyone can figure it out with a little analysis." Mo Ming said calmly.

"Moreover, the senior brother and sister he cares about have indeed been targeted by Liu Gandang. It was Lord Zi Hao who saved them, and I think that's the most important part."

In the study

Chen Jiuge quickly went through the information Mo Yu had found, his heart growing cold: "It's true, all true!"

Gripping the last piece of information tightly, Chen Jiuge slowly uncovered the scroll.

'Outer Disciple Wu Daotian, Outer Disciple Yue Yinghua, attacked by an unknown force, currently missing!'

"Bang!"

Sitting heavily on the wooden chair, Chen Jiuge's mind was in turmoil. Back when the two came to the Adventuring Zone for training, Chen Jiuge hadn't really agreed, but he couldn't say anything.

Finally, when the two broke through to True Immortal and planned to return to the Sect to solidify their cultivation, practice Divine Skills to increase their strength, they were attacked.

"I really want to know why, in the Sect, they would still be attacked by an unknown force!"

"Looks like you've found out!"

Shuibing appeared behind him, her soft arms wrapping around Chen Jiuge, the unique fragrance of a woman wafting to his nose.

"Wasn't it you people from Heavenly Gate who staged this yourself?" Chen Jiuge said expressionlessly.

"A lie that can be exposed with one poke, is it necessary?" Shuibing chuckled.

"Yeah, a lie that can be exposed with one poke."

After a long while, Chen Jiuge continued to ask, "What is your goal?"

Shuibing released her arms, slowly walked in front of Chen Jiuge, her moist big eyes full of seriousness: "To make the world more interesting!"

"To let those high up experience the suffering of the small fry!"

"Is that so, I thought you were planning to re-shackle each Immortal with Life Span's shackles." Chen Jiuge said with emotion.

"Life Span Shackles, huh, an interesting idea. Maybe you'll get along well with certain people."
