The Master of Beasts-Chapter 614 - 164

As Zhong Ning continued to speak, feeling more confident with each word, he straightened his back noticeably.

"So, as I said, Great Steward, why not consider my suggestion?" Zhong Ning said confidently.

Chen Jiuge looked at him speechlessly, "Are you planning to use these people to threaten me?"

"Great Steward, failing to complete the Sect mission would be quite troublesome for you, wouldn't it?" Zhong Ning threatened.

Chen Jiuge shook his head in disappointment, "I thought it was someone else infiltrating the valley. Turns out it's just you; how disappointing!"

"Roar!"

A large amount of spiritual energy kept gathering, forming an erratic pillar of light on the intertwining horns.

"Aren't you afraid of not being able to complete the mission?"

Zhong Ning roared in anger, a soil-yellow staff appearing in his hand. The surrounding earth and stones formed into a giant palm, trying to block the pillar of light.

"You've really stayed in the valley for too long!" Chen Jiuge shook his head helplessly.

"What are your thoughts?" Chen Jiuge turned his gaze to He Li, Duan Xu, and the other Spiritual Plant Masters.

The look in his eyes was gentle, yet it sent shivers down He Li's spine.

"Thud."

Unexpectedly, Duan Xu was the first to kneel down with weakened legs, "Great Steward, this was Zhong Ning's idea. I only came because of the assembly order."

As a disciple who was half-exiled, Duan Xu had no grand ambitions; he just wanted to return to his previous life. Everything he did was based on the confidence his status as an Inner Sect Disciple gave him. He really didn't have the guts to oppose Chen Jiuge.

"Is that so? Then stand aside. What about the rest of you?" Chen Jiuge smiled and nodded.

"Us too, us too."

A lot of Spiritual Plant Masters nodded in agreement, quickly moving to stand beside Duan Xu.

Seeing the performance of these Spiritual Plant Masters, Chen Jiuge looked speechlessly, "And you expect these people? Zhong Ning, you really have become foolish from farming! With just these people!" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Damn it!"

"Boom!"

A Mutant Spirit Sheep stomped Zhong Ning into the ground, flicked its flowing long hair, revealing a proud face, and spat firmly on the ground.

"Hmm?"

Chen Jiuge looked in surprise at He Li, who was standing still, "Is there a problem?"

He Li's delicate face turned pale, evoking a feeling of pity, "Great Steward, would you be willing to let us go?"

"Let you go or not, isn't it all Zhong Ning's fault?" Chen Jiuge smiled serenely.

"Thank you, Great Steward, I understand." He Li breathed a deep sigh of relief.

......

Zhong Ning was taken away by the Sect's Law Enforcement Team. According to the Law Enforcement Elder's Soul Search findings, the Purple Dragon Blood Tree and Blood Locust were all Zhong Ning's own actions, without anyone else's guidance.

Of course, this was handled by Chen Jiuge, otherwise, He Li and Duan Xu couldn't escape the fate of being accomplices!

"Acting on your own?" Chen Jiuge toyed with a Blood Locust no bigger than a fist, chuckling as he shook his head.

The Blood Locust wasn't bound to Zhong Ning through the Spirit Transformation Secret Technique, but was contracted by Duan Xu. Upon learning this, He Li was nearly driven mad with anger.

Collaborating as three people, but only she had been foolish enough to gain nothing from it!

As for now, the Blood Locust naturally belonged to Chen Jiuge, which was also Duan Xu's way of atonement, otherwise how could Chen Jiuge possibly help him absolve his crime, even allowing him to remain safely within the valley.

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle."

The Blood Locust, spinning around on Chen Jiuge's palm, suddenly turned toward the door, where Duan Xu stood awkwardly outside.

"What's up?" Chen Jiuge asked curiously.

After witnessing Zhong Ning's fate, Duan Xu now had a feeling of trepidation towards Chen Jiuge, avoiding him unless absolutely necessary.

"Great Steward, an unexpected situation has arisen. I think you might need to take a look personally!" Duan Xu said, his eyes evasive.

"Oh, take me to see." Chen Jiuge was somewhat curious.

Zone Three Garden was large. Although it appeared to be in the shape of a valley from the outside, in reality, the valley was just a small initial area. After passing through the valley, there was an expanse of low hills.

These hills were each Spiritual Plant Master's area, covered with terraced fields. The golden waves of Yellow Tooth Immortal Rice formed a picturesque scene.

"It's right here!"

Duan Xu led Chen Jiuge to Zhong Ning's previous residence.

The simple wooden cabin was long gone, leaving a massive pit in its place. This was the result of a search by Law Enforcement Disciples, to guard against Zhong Ning having a hidden chamber.

But at the bottom of this pit, a new large hole appeared, an ominously black cavity that seemed to lead to a Forbidden Land.

"Ugh, ugh, ugh."

Sounds resembling crying emanated from the hole. When Chen Jiuge reached out to test it, in just the time it took a breath, his Heavenly Immortal's hand was frozen stiff, with large cracks even appearing on the surface!

"The Yellow Springs Wind!" Chen Jiuge exclaimed in shock.

Immortals are undying, as long as they reach the True Immortal realm, they have infinite life spans, so cultivators in the True Realm rarely concern themselves with the Underworld, and it's unknown whether the Underworld even exists!

But the Yellow Springs Wind is indeed a type of Spirit Wind exclusive to the Underworld. Could this large hole actually be connected to the Underworld?

After hesitating a bit, Chen Jiuge summoned two Yin Dogs with a flick of his hand, "The Yin Dogs should be able to survive, right?"

"Awooooo."

"Crunch."

"Boom!"

The Yin Dogs howled, entered, and then shattered into pieces!

Chen Jiuge retreated two steps in fright, while Duan Xu had already hidden behind a boulder a hundred meters away. His small frame couldn't withstand the fierce Yellow Springs Wind!
