The Master of Beasts-Chapter 661 - 187_2

"Oh, interesting, let's take a look!"

Yingying's words piqued Chen Jiuge's curiosity even more!

The Lin Family's territory actually has a place where even those two don't dare to go, there must be a secret!

"Thud, thud, thud"

Heavy footsteps echoed through the dungeon corridor, the previous noise became increasingly clear.

"Ya ya!"

"Sounds like a baby's laughter?"

Before long, Chen Jiuge saw a massive bronze door.

The door, emitting a cyan glow, was carved with numerous tomb beasts, and between each tomb beast sculpture, there was a blood-red conduit, seemingly flowing with a large amount of liquid.

"Why is there such a door here?"

"Husband, this is the place!" Yingying's tattoo trembled slightly as she spoke.

"Ya ya, ya ya!"

A clear and childlike voice continually emanated from inside the door, besides that, Chen Jiuge faintly heard the sound of pounding on the door.

"How to open it?"

"I don't know, but it seems there's a key!"

"Look, it's right here!" Yingying pointed to a large, head-sized keyhole.

Chen Jiuge covered his hands with a layer of immortal power and reached out to explore the keyhole, his expression curious. "Such a large keyhole? No, it seems like an array core?"

"That can't be right either; what's the use of this door without a core?"

"Forget it, let's do it directly!"

Rich immortal power gathered on his palms and pressed heavily against the door, producing a deep muffled sound.

"How is this possible?"

Looking at the bronze door without a single mark, Chen Jiuge was somewhat surprised. This strike was at least equivalent to a full-force blow from an ordinary Two Flowers Celestial Immortal, and the Lin Family shouldn't have such a foundation!

"Let's leave it to the professionals!"

Chen Jiuge waved his hand, releasing a Spiritual Beast. This beast, resembling an ancient cauldron come to life, was named the Boundary Beast, specifically used to unlock various barriers and chains.

"Open the door!"

"Gulu!"

The Boundary Beast extended its chubby hand, gently sliding its finger on the door. White lines began to appear on the door, and the conduits between the tomb beasts slowly started emitting a strange glow.

As the white lines increased, the inside of the large keyhole began to slowly rotate, producing a sound akin to turning gears.

"Click"

With a crisp sound, the door opened!

A dazzling white light met their eyes. Chen Jiuge slightly shielded his eyes with his hand and looked closely, seeing a fair-skinned, porcelain-doll-like little girl standing there prettily.

Chen Jiuge was taken aback, somewhat suspiciously asking, "Have I seen you before?"

The Sorrowful Girl tilted her head, looking at Chen Jiuge carefully for a few moments, then suddenly let out a heart-wrenching cry!

The familiar feeling returned, his organs began to tremble, and the most fragile parts slowly started cracking. This familiar pain made Chen Jiuge's eyes widen: "Sorrowful Girl!"

Upon hearing Chen Jiuge finally call her name, the Sorrowful Girl finally stopped crying, though tiny pearls kept falling from the corners of her eyes.

Inside his body, as the immortal energy circulated, Chen Jiuge discovered a faint black aura on his cracked organs, which continuously devoured the immortal energy, delaying the healing of his wounds.

Frowning slightly, Chen Jiuge increased the efficiency of the immortal energy's circulation. In no time, the wound was completely healed.

Holding the Sorrowful Girl who was wiping her tears, Chen Jiuge curiously asked, "Why are you here?"

The Sorrowful Girl was moved by Dabai back then and had lived in Eden Garden ever since. After Chen Jiuge unexpectedly ascended to the True Realm, Eden Garden was dismantled, and all the Spiritual Beasts inside were scattered, including the Sorrowful Girl.

"Ya ya, ya ya!"

The Sorrowful Girl waved her chubby hands, gesturing animatedly, trying to explain why she was here.

Being a unique life form with limited spiritual wisdom, the Sorrowful Girl's intelligence is roughly that of a five- or six-year-old child, and its cultivation was equally peculiar, more like a strange rule!

Previously not well understood, but now Chen Jiuge could see that the upper limit of its influence should be at the Golden Immortal level. Although the impact wasn't much, the Sorrowful Girl was practically invincible to those below the Golden Immortal level.

"I wonder if the Sorrowful Girl can still evolve. If its ability progresses further, wouldn't it be invincible below the Daluo level!"

"Husband, do you know her?" Yingying's feeble voice emanated from his chest, evidently greatly affected by the Sorrowful Girl's earlier cry!

"Are you okay?"

"It's a relief. Every time I hear that crying, it feels like my divine soul is being torn apart!" Yingying explained.

Underworld ghosts value the divine soul more, and so-called Yin Qi is more guided by divine soul power, with only a few evil ghosts vigorously training their bodies.

"I didn't expect it to be so harmful to the ghosts!"

After pondering for a while, Chen Jiuge didn't think much of it and held the Sorrowful Girl to check this special prison.

The prison was large, about the size of a modern football field, except the ground wasn't grass but cold bronze, each piece engraved with a large number of eerie runes that seemed to be the kind that absorbed energy.

In the corners of the prison stood four massive statues with ram heads and human bodies, their ram heads slightly open to reveal several sharp teeth inside, and a spiral horn on their forehead reaching skyward.

The lower half of their bodies twisted irregularly, evoking a Cthulhu-esque style.

"What is this?"

After some exploration, Chen Jiuge discovered a button: "Is it a switch?"

Confident in himself, Chen Jiuge pressed it without hesitation.

"Click"

The statues emitted a continuous crackling sound and then slowly stood up, their originally closed eyes suddenly opening to reveal yellow pupils.

"Alive?"

"Yiya ya"

The Sorrowful Girl was also curious. She had been here for so long and didn't know these statues were alive.

"Roar!"

With a roar, Chen Jiuge felt a throbbing in his internal organs, but compared to the Sorrowful Girl, the power of the statues was clearly much weaker, only making his organs throb once.

"The Sorrowful Girl's ability? Could it be that this isn't a prison, but an array!"

A terrifying suspicion suddenly formed in Chen Jiuge's mind.

After the Sorrowful Girl was separated, she encountered a cultivator who discovered her ability and somehow took her away, unconscious from the impact of breaking through realms.

Then he designed this huge prison to specifically absorb the Sorrowful Girl's power to cultivate these puppet statues!

Using his hand as a blade, Chen Jiuge quickly shattered the four revived statues. Suddenly, he froze: "Wait, sound wave puppets, I think I've heard about them in the sect!"

"It's the Zi family!"

The disciple of the Five Elements Sect saved by the Lin family ancestor was from the Zi family. Only disciples from such a prominent family had the ability to bring a small family like the Lin family into the banner of the Five Elements Sect.

"That Zi family disciple died ten thousand years ago, but although their descendants still have some ties with the Lin family, their relationship was not as close as before." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"I have been in the True Realm for about three thousand years, and two thousand years ago, a genius emerged from the Zi family. Their main technique was sound wave puppetry. Some even lamented that they were born in the wrong sect, saying if they'd joined the Puppet Sect, their achievements would have been far greater."

"So, the so-called sound wave puppet genius only stole a trace of the Sorrowful Girl's power!"

"The Zi family, such a large family, is full of petty thieves!"

After a mocking remark, Chen Jiuge suddenly realized: "The statues are shattered, and if the Zi family values this great array significantly, they would definitely send someone. I need to leave first."

.........

Zi Family Territory

Zi Yang looked at the puppets flexibly moving in his hand, his face full of dissatisfaction: "Too slow, too lacking, far too inferior!"

With a firm grip, the pulled puppets instantly turned into a pile of shards.

"At this level, how can they take me any higher?"

"Boom boom boom"

"Young master, something's gone wrong!" The butler Ah Fu hurried into the training ground, speaking in a low voice.

"What?" Zi Yang's expression changed.

"It's true, the four puppets left there have all been shattered, someone must have broken in."

"Lead the family's guards to check it out, no, I'll go myself!"

"Yes, young master!"

Dozens of streaks of light soared into the sky, led by Zi Yang, whose face was extremely gloomy: "No matter who it is, dare to destroy my dojo and block my path, you must die!"

"Great Elder, can the method you mentioned earlier still be used?"

Zi He was a bit surprised: "Have you thought it through? The failure rate is quite high."

"If I don't take the risk, how can I achieve the great path!"

"Alright, as long as you've thought it through."
