The Master of Beasts-Chapter 622 - 168

The news that Duan Xu was taken away by Yan Shen was quickly relayed to He Li. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The twelve True Immortals controlled by He Li were primarily outstanding Spiritual Plant Masters. Thanks to her image as the leading beauty in the valley, meeting He Li was not particularly difficult.

As for whether such actions would be leaked by Jialouluo, He Li was not worried at all.

Joking aside, he's an Evil Ghost after all; if he claims to be a pacifist, he truly is.

"Taken away by Yan Shen?" He Li's face darkened slightly. Could it be that her recent actions were too conspicuous and got discovered by Yan Shen?

After discovering that Chen Jiuge was not in the Spirit Plant Area, He Li started recruiting some downtrodden Spiritual Plant Masters, forcing them to take a Heavenly Dao Oath, consolidating her foundation in the Spirit Plant Area.

According to what was said above, Chen Jiuge wouldn't stay long in the Spirit Plant Area and would leave eventually. She must seize the discourse power as much as possible, quickly advance to Heavenly Immortal, and then the organization would place her in the position of Great Steward.

Once she becomes the Great Steward, she would then be able to transport some Spirit Plant Spirit Rice to relieve some of the logistical pressure for the organization.

"Yes, I've heard Yan Shen cultivated Nine Death Wood. It was said that he encountered someone along the way, and the reason for capturing Yan Shen seems to be because he didn't listen attentively to his explanation." This Spiritual Plant Master was also puzzled; the reason seemed a bit absurd, but looking at Yan Shen's usual behavior, it didn't seem too far-fetched.

Upon hearing this, He Li's brow furrowed even deeper. Duan Xu was the only inner sect disciple among the twelve people she controlled, and his cultivation foundation as well as soul strength were far superior to the other True Immortals, which resulted in more incomplete control.

An expressionless face was one of the side effects; there might still be a trace of self-awareness left in his Sea of Consciousness, posing a significant risk of exposure.

"Forget it, maybe it's better to take a look myself." He Li shook her head slightly.

.....

Yan Shen's character is very straightforward. He speaks very directly, easily offending people, but he is honest in his actions, which many Stewards appreciate.

He usually doesn't have many hobbies and tends to be enthusiastic about anything he does. It was said he was the same when he was in the Artifact Refining Hall.

"Do you know where the difficulty in cultivating Nine Death Wood lies?" Yan Shen asked seriously.

Duan Xu, tightly bound, looked towards Yan Shen with a dazed expression, revealing a hint of disbelief.

Brother, do you have to be this dramatic? Just because I didn't listen closely to you, you locked me up?

Cultivators controlled by the Evil Ghost Mark may be dull, but it doesn't mean they don't have emotions.

The little man in Duan Xu's Sea of Consciousness also felt a bit exhausted: "Forget it, being locked up isn't so bad; at least I don't have to worry about He Li making me do something that betrays the sect."

"It's obvious you don't know. Although we were assigned to the Spirit Plant Area, we must keep improving!"

"The difficulty in cultivating Nine Death Wood is that it needs to die nine times; each time, it requires a rebirth like spring from dry wood, which demands my...."

As Yan Shen went on and on, Duan Xu's expression gradually calmed, and even the little man in his Sea of Consciousness with a giving-up attitude showed some awe: "I never thought it could be cultivated this way; is this the gap between me and other disciples?"

In those days, when he joined the Five Elements Sect, he was so high-spirited, and when he won the identity of the Inner Sect Disciple during the Outer Sect competition, he was in the limelight, never thinking he would fall to this state.

"Yan Shen!"

"He Li?"

Yan Shen was a bit surprised; his cave mansion basically never deployed its array, but there were very few Spiritual Plant Masters who would come to visit, so few that even close ones wouldn't come unless they faced unsolvable issues.

"Why did you tie up Duan Xu?" He Li glanced at Duan Xu, tied up tightly, and asked.

"I'm just discussing cultivation insights about Nine Death Wood with Brother Duan Xu; would He, the Sister, care to join?" Yan Shen replied indifferently.

"Join? Maybe not, I'm quite busy right now; my planting skills aren't as good as yours, hence requiring constant attention. Brother Yan, could you release Brother Duan for now?" He Li probed.

"Release him? No, I'm not done talking." Yan Shen shook his head and refused.

This simple shaking of his head gave He Li a different idea: "Could he really have found something wrong? It's natural since he's now a Heavenly Immortal; discovering something wrong is normal. What should I do? Should I really use the last resort?"

Yan Shen looked strangely at He Li, whose expression alternated between blue and white, as if he thought of something incredible, and his pupils suddenly enlarged: "Could it be... the Inner Sect?"

He Li observed Yan Shen's gaze moving back and forth between her and Duan Xu, her face stiffened, but considering preserving the means of survival, she reluctantly put on an ugly smile and nodded silently.

"I never thought the two of you would form a Daoist couple; I'm wondering when we'll drink?" Yan Shen exclaimed.

"Hehe, right now, it's not really considered; we haven't finalized it yet." He Li said evasively.

Yan Shen showed an expression of understanding, waved his hand to release Duan Xu, and patted him on the shoulder: "Today it was Brother's fault; take this ten-thousand-year-old Immortal Brew as an apology."

In Duan Xu's Sea of Consciousness feeling gloomy about life, after getting patted twice by Yan Shen, he suddenly felt his freedom was better, with the feeling of bondage lighter.

"I'll take Brother Duan away first then."

Watching them leave, Yan Shen's square face revealed a quirky smile: "Interesting, there are others infiltrating the Five Elements Sect; could it be that besides our Beast God Sect, others know about the Heavenly Beast Tomb here?"
