The Master of Beasts-Chapter 662 - 188

Lin Family Territory

When Chen Jiuge emerged from the dungeon, the battle on the ground was nearing its end.

Almost everyone in the Lin Family had been executed. Although not all of them participated in the incident, they were part of the Lin Family, and in the cultivation world, collective responsibility is a given!

At least those punished by Chen Jiuge could leave a trace of their True Spirit behind and reincarnate.

Now that the Underworld has appeared, the cycle of reincarnation is again present, making reincarnation a new rule.

"Still not resigned to your fate?" Chen Jiuge looked at the two half-dead individuals, somewhat puzzled.

"Resign to our fate? Why should we? We only seek to become stronger, for the Great Way!" Lin Yi said, his face crazed.

"Stronger, the Great Way? Ridiculous. Cultivation isn't about becoming bloodthirsty monsters. Look at your immortal power. Do you still consider yourselves immortals?"

"No, you're no longer even ghosts. You're genuine monsters!" Chen Jiuge mocked.

"You're the monster. We are immortals!"

Lin Yi struggled to his feet, trying to approach Chen Jiuge, but was sent flying into a pit in the ground by the tail of a nearby Stone Snake.

"Hiss hiss hiss"

Chen Jiuge shook his head and commanded, "Finish it!"

"Hiss hiss hiss"

A chorus of hisses erupted, as the Stone Snakes launched a full attack. The remaining buildings were completely destroyed. After a brief sensing, Chen Jiuge realized there were few living people left in the Lin Family.

The remaining faint auras were almost entirely hidden beneath some formations.

Frowning slightly, Chen Jiuge abandoned the thought of utterly exterminating the Lin Family: "Never mind, consider yourselves lucky!"

With a wave, he retrieved the Spiritual Beasts and also collected the Lin Family's treasured Token.

"Let's go!"

By the time Zi Yang arrived at the Lin Family Territory with many members of the Zi family, all he saw was a ruin, with numerous Loose Cultivators scavenging around.

"Damn it, we're too late!" Zi Yang shouted in anger as he quickly headed to where the dungeon was located.

He casually smashed several Loose Cultivators exploring the dungeon into dust. Gazing at the open bronze door, Zi Yang had a bad premonition.

In a flash, he quickly entered through the gate, looking at the wreckage of puppets on the ground, and let out an unwilling roar: "Damn it, who could it be!"

"Gone?" The Great Elder of Zi Family furrowed his brows.

"Great Elder, I hope the family can assist in the search!" Zi Yang clasped his fists and bowed.

"Sigh, don't worry. This concerns not only your cultivation but also the family. I will fully support you."

"Thank you, Great Elder."

Meanwhile, on his way to Purple Sun Mountain, Chen Jiuge was playing with the Bronze Bell in his hand, feeling quite pleased.

He thought a small family like the Lin Family wouldn't have anything good, but a surprise awaited him.

"The Soul-shocking Nine Heavens Bell, how could such a heavenly Dao Artifact appear in a small family like the Lin's? How has it remained undiscovered all these years?"

If anyone knew the Lin Family had such a Dao Artifact, they would have ceased to exist long ago!

"Consider it a lucky find!"

The Soul-shocking Nine Heavens Bell is a rare Soul Measuring Device. What makes it even more precious is that it's a naturally formed Dao Artifact, with power surpassing those crafted. Along with the Lin Family's thousands of years of refining, its might is fathomless.

It's no exaggeration to say that with this Dao Artifact, Chen Jiuge could block attacks on the Divine Soul from average Golden Immortals. However, he certainly couldn't withstand those specializing in the Divine Soul, for no matter how good the Dao Artifact, one's own strength must be robust.

Crossing mountains and rivers, this journey was smooth with no unexpected incidents as he reached Purple Sun Mountain.

"Boom"

The Wind God Roc flapped its wings, knocking several ghost monsters to the ground, while the Shadow Demon swiftly cut them down with dual blades.

"What's happening, why are there ghost monsters appearing here?" Chen Jiuge frowned.

This was the reception point of Purple Sun Mountain, situated in the central area of the Purple Sun Mountain base. Could the situation be deteriorating to this extent?

"Who's there? Is it an Inner Sect Senior Brother?" a Five Elements Sect Cultivator peeked around and asked.

Chen Jiuge took out a Token, activated it with immortal power, and a phantom of a Five-Colored Peak appeared overhead, serving as a means to verify the identity of Five Elements Sect disciples!

"Indeed, it's an Inner Sect Senior Brother. I thought it was another ghost monster disguising itself trying to sneak into the base." The disciple sighed in relief.

"Hello Senior Brother, my name is Song Yang."

Introducing himself, Song Yang approached, reaching out, seemingly wanting to greet Chen Jiuge.

As their hands touched, Song Yang revealed a sinister smile, his face becoming lined with black patterns, as he sneered, "I thought a formidable character had come, but you're just a fledgling!"

"Hmm?"

After a while, Song Yang found Chen Jiuge still watching him mockingly, his expression drastically changing: "How can this be, why are you unharmed? I'm a Soul-devouring Ghost, is your soul protected by a treasure?"

Shaking the Soul-shocking Nine Heavens Bell in his hand, Chen Jiuge exclaimed joyfully: "The effect is really quite impressive!"

At the moment of the handshake, Chen Jiuge felt a cold force creeping up his arm into his Sea of Consciousness. But since it seemed non-threatening, he allowed it, testing the capabilities of the Soul-shocking Nine Heavens Bell.

"Crack"

Decisively, Song Yang twisted off his arm, leaping back a step, a malicious expression on his face: "You think you've won?"

"Get out, all of you must slaughter him today!"

In an instant, the surrounding reception point was engulfed by a mass of shadows. It was unclear where these ghost monsters had been hiding, as they had not revealed any presence before.
