The Master of Beasts-Chapter 673 - 193:

.......

On the way back, Lucifer looked at the distant black clouds, his expression changing, and remarked with some curiosity, "A traitor raised by the High Priest!"

"Just a bunch of small fry, not worth worrying about," Jialouluo said coldly.

"Oh, come on, it's fate that we've encountered them, I'm quite curious about these things!" Lucifer licked his lips and said.

"As you please!"

"Hehe, you are obviously curious too!"

Beto watched the chaotic state of the demons under his command, his already cold face turning even colder.

"To actually entrust these rabble to me, are they looking down on me, Beto?"

"Hmm? Someone's there?"

The black mist was dispersed by a wave of Lucifer's hand, revealing the figures of two people.

"Evil Ghosts?" Beto said with some surprise.

The aura of the two people in front of him was not inferior to his own, no, it should be stronger than his, yet he had no impression of such powerful beings.

"Which department are you from?" Beto asked in a deep voice.

"Which department? We're from the main division!" Lucifer laughed heartily.

Seemingly realizing their ill intent, a long bone spear appeared in Beto's hand, and he shouted sternly, "We are all from the Evil Ghost Clan, there's no need for internal strife!"

"Evil Ghosts?"

Jialouluo's expression was indifferent, and his figure seemed to traverse through time and space, appearing in front of Beto. With a gentle pinch of his large hand, the spear shattered and disintegrated into a pile of dust.

"You're just mixed breeds!"

"Don't go too far!"

Beto, filled with fear, quickly swelled up, gathering a large amount of spiritual energy, seemingly preparing to use a big move.

However, although Beto was fast, he was still far behind Jialouluo.

A cyan hand pierced into Beto's swelling body, and Jialouluo said calmly, "Obliterate."

"Crack crack crack"

A teeth-gritting sound rang out, and Beto said in disbelief, "How is this possible, I am a Daluo, my Dao?"

Lucifer explained with a smile, "Do you know why Jialouluo is called the strongest Holy King? Because its Dao is destruction!"

"Jialouluo!"

With a final furious roar, a Daluo thus disappeared silently, along with his Dao that was obliterated.

Lucifer opened his mouth and swallowed the last trace of Beto's True Spirit, burping disdainfully, "The taste of a mixed breed is really bad!"

"Lord Beto got eaten!"

"Little ones, shouldn't you worry about yourselves now?" Lucifer licked his lips and said.

"Alright, no more nonsense, wrap it up quickly. Farley is more important, don't waste too much time," Jialouluo said sternly.

"Alright, alright!"

Opening his mouth wide, a colossal mouth appeared behind the new evil ghosts, and with a 'chomp', the mouth closed, and all the new evil ghosts were swallowed in one bite by Lucifer.

"I didn't expect the first meal after coming out to be such unpalatable things, it's really heartbreaking!" Lucifer wiped the corner of his mouth, somewhat saddened.

"After filling up, let's get to work!"

"Alright, you're the boss. Whatever you say goes, I don't want to get pummeled by you!"

The High Priest sealed the three of them to preserve the continuation of the Evil Ghost Clan, yet the revival of the new evil ghosts would surely sense the breath of the original evil ghosts. To vindicate their race, they would definitely hunt down Farley and the others fervently.

"But is it really just the three of us left?" Lucifer said melancholically.

Jialouluo looked at Lucifer with some surprise and said, "Aren't they all just food in your eyes?"

"Food comes in good and bad too!" Lucifer suddenly laughed heartily.

Taking the path of gluttony, Lucifer had an appetite far beyond ordinary people; unable to control his instincts, he had devoured fellow clansmen numerous times during his cultivation, even his own parents were consumed by him.

Under such massive stimulation, Lucifer instead gave into despair, fully embracing the path of gluttony, and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds. However, this method of cultivation had a downside!

Lucifer couldn't fully control the path of gluttony, and instead existed in a state of coexistence with it; otherwise, his strength could have reached even higher levels.

However, when his Dao spiraled out of control, his strength was not inferior to Jialouluo, which gave them the confidence to oppose the selection of the third member before.

......

For several consecutive days, Chen Jiuge appeared to be in a hurry frequently, with the purple jade pendant controlling the heart of the great array often dropping in the study.

In the corner, the statue opened its eyes once again; this time, it seemed a bit restless, tentatively moving its fingers.

Its eyes darted around, but the study remained as quiet as ever.

"Should I...."

A trace of struggle appeared on the statue's face, but it eventually returned to silence without a sound.

Inside the secret chamber, a trace of pain flickered in Tian Yue's eyes, "I really don't want to do this!"

"Gurgle gurgle"

A black long worm suddenly emerged from the severed arm, emitting an eerie sound, "You don't want to do this? Then do you want to die?"

The eight vertical scars on the back of the long worm opened and closed slightly, a strange blue light appearing in the dim secret chamber.

"Ahhhhh"

Tian Yue felt an indescribable pain spread throughout his body, a feeling as if being skinned and dismembered. The most comforting cultivation was no longer perceptible, leaving him with the powerlessness and despair of being a mortal, which instantly filled Tian Yue's heart.

"No, no, stop!"

"Your life is no longer yours. Only by following my orders can you survive, even live better."

The slender body of the long worm coiled around Tian Yue's neck, coaxing, "Don't you want to live better, to break through to Golden Immortal, to be admired by fellow disciples?"

"Your mentors must be disappointed in you too!"

Tian Yue's face froze, a scene from before surfaced in his mind.

"Master, I'm back."

"Since you're back, take a good rest."

"Master, my hand..."

"As long as your comprehension of the Dao keeps up, a mere hand is insignificant."

"Alright, go recuperate, I need to go teach your junior disciple now!"

The Five Mountains Venerable left coldly, leaving Tian Yue alone in the grand hall, clutching his severed hand in dismay.

"Yes, even Master is ready to give up on me. Junior disciple, Master never once looked at him seriously!"

The psychological pain far exceeded the physical agony, veins were popping on Tian Yue's forehead as he growled lowly, "I understand now!"

"Hehehe, good to know, that thing deep inside Purple Sun Mountain is important to us, and to you as well. If you're lucky, it might even directly help you break through to Golden Immortal."

"Really?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you, we're one and the same now."

"I understand!"

Early the next morning, Tian Yue returned to his prosperous big brother self, cheerfully stepping out of the secret chamber, greeting other disciples amiably along the way.

"Senior Brother!"

"Senior Brother."

Tian Yue nodded and smiled. Upon seeing Chen Jiuge who was inspecting the defense walls, he called out loudly, "Junior Chen, why are you here?"

"It's Senior Brother, I'm here just in case. I've linked the great array with the city walls, so I thought it best to personally check it out!" Chen Jiuge explained with a smile.

"Junior is really diligent!" Tian Yue said with some emotion.

"It's no hardship, it's Senior Brother who's truly impressive!" Chen Jiuge glanced at Tian Yue's severed arm, praising him.

"Haha, as the senior brother, it's my duty."

After exchanging compliments, Tian Yue said casually, "Is the great array connected to the Purple Sun Ore in Purple Sun Mountain's center?"

Chen Jiuge was momentarily surprised, then summoned a small purple sword and introduced, "That's right, this flying sword is actually made from the material of Purple Sun Ore, though it primarily uses the Heaven and Earth Power of the great array."

"I see!" Tian Yue said in realization.

Purple Sun Mountain wasn't really a cultivation Holy Land, the spiritual energy concentration inside was only slightly higher than other places, but not to this extent.

"Why, is Senior Brother curious?"

"Nothing much, just wanted to confirm, as it concerns our safety, after all?"

"Makes sense."

"Then, you should continue with your work, and I'll just stroll around, being in seclusion is too peace-seeking."

"Alright, take care, Senior Brother."

"Now, I should make a move!" Watching Tian Yue's back, Chen Jiuge thought to himself.

"So unguarded, Junior, you actually suspect me outright, it's quite saddening!" Tian Yue sighed inwardly.

"What to do then!" The long worm's somewhat frantic voice echoed inside Tian Yue.

"Why rush, it's not an absolute necessity to get the great array."

"You can't use Divine Sense in the Purple Sun Ore; are you sure you can find the thing?"

"Who knows?" Tian Yue smiled freely, and a plan gradually formed in his mind.

"Whatever, as we're one now, only by finding that thing can I be completely restored, and you have the chance to break through to Golden Immortal!"
