The Master of Beasts-Chapter 675 - 194:

A disciple with an unlimited future chose to attack a core disciple and defect from the sect.

"Of course you don't understand, I'm not like you!" Tian Yue's face showed a trace of ferocity, swinging a severed arm fiercely as Yi Qi's entire body fell to the ground.

The black creature over a meter long began to swell instantly upon landing.

"Hiss hiss hiss"

"It's really annoying!"

Yi Qi, transformed into a hundred-zhang-long body, looked at his slippery skin without limbs, could only shake his head to vent his dissatisfaction.

"Divine Skills—Sword..."

"Buzz"

Before Gu Zhengyu could fully deploy his divine skills, Yi Qi froze his body.

"A mere Heavenly Immortal wants to struggle before me?" Yi Qi said disdainfully.

I used to be Daluo, even if I had to abandon my original body for some reason, I'm still not comparable to a Heavenly Immortal.

"You actually have such strong power?" Tian Yue said expressionlessly.

"Haha, what did you think," Yi Qi chuckled lightly twice.

Tian Yue took a deep breath, feeling something was wrong: "Didn't expect him to have such power, miscalculated!"

"No, there must be limitations, or he could take over Purple Sun Mountain directly without needing my help."

Taking a deep breath, Tian Yue looked at Gu Zhengyu, bound, sighed slightly: "Actually, I really don't want to attack you!"

"After all, your status is too high, and you have a good relationship with Junior Chen. If something happens to you, he'll probably target me. But who let you have something you shouldn't!"

"Something... I shouldn't have?" Gu Zhengyu said with difficulty.

"Slash"

Tian Yue tore open Gu Zhengyu's chest, revealing a beating heart inside.

The most astonishing thing was that next to Gu Zhengyu's heart, a butterfly emitting blue light kept flying around.

"What a miraculous creature, the Heavenly Guardian Butterfly!" Tian Yue praised.

"What's this got to do with us?" Yi Qi asked, bringing his large head closer in confusion.

"You don't know, many in the sect don't. Gu Zhengyu became a core disciple thanks to the Heavenly Guardian Butterfly from the Gu Family!"

"Don't underestimate this little thing; it not only enhances the owner's cultivation speed but can also act as a substitute for death. Most importantly, it has a strong sensing ability!"

"With it, it's easy to find what you want; no need to confront the Great Array!" Tian Yue explained.

"I see!"

"Goodbye, Senior Brother Gu!"

"The Heavenly Guardian Butterfly is tied to my life, killing me won't get it!" Gu Zhengyu said angrily.

"It's up to you now." Tian Yue stepped back and said.

Yi Qi's form twisted, returning to a shape over a meter long, his slippery body clinging to Gu Zhengyu's chest, as eight vertical marks on his back opened to reveal pale purple eyeballs.

"Little guy, you're too naive!"

"Silent Heaven!"

A black smoke spewed from Yi Qi's mouth, severing Gu Zhengyu's link with the Heavenly Guardian Butterfly upon contact.

"Who dares to steal my son's Heavenly Guardian Butterfly?"

"Quick, the old man surely left some life-saving means on Gu Zhengyu!" Tian Yue vanished before finishing the sentence.

Yi Qi looked at the shadow in front, his face stiffening, as endless blue flying swords swarmed him.

Watching Yi Qi struggle in the black smoke against the flying swords, the shadow coldly snorted in dissatisfaction but lacked enough Spiritual Energy, deciding to take Gu Zhengyu away first.

After a full quarter of an hour, Tian Yue cautiously poked his head out, "Is it okay?"

Yi Qi emerged weakly from under a piece of rubble, crawling into Tian Yue's severed limb: "It's your turn now!"

"Rest assured!"

"Able to exert Golden Immortal strength, his means are somewhat beyond, but can't last long?" Tian Yue estimated Yi Qi's abilities slightly.

The commotion earlier probably alerted Chen Jiuge and others. Without hesitation, Tian Yue rushed towards the Purple Sun Ore.

At the entrance of the Purple Sun Ore cave, two Heavenly Immortal disciples leaned boredly against the stone wall.

"Why do we still have to guard here, the ghost monsters are all gone?"

"Ha, it's such a safe place, even if ghost monsters disappeared, doesn't mean they're all dead!"

"Who's there?"

"It's Senior Brother! Why in such a hurry?"

Tian Yue tidied his slightly messy clothes and said casually, "Nothing, just testing a new escape skill."

"I need to check something inside the Purple Sun Mine!"

"Go ahead, Senior Brother!"

The two quickly stepped back, having no thought of obstructing Tian Yue.

Elsewhere, Chen Jiuge suddenly looked up, eyes fixed on the blue light behind Purple Sun Mountain, shocked: "Has something happened?"

"Wait, what's that?"

Threads of black energy intertwined with the blue light, but soon the blue light intensified, instantly suppressing the black energy.

The black energy was exceptionally persistent, not being extinguished, then the blue light slightly weakened and swiftly fled away.

"This isn't Senior Brother Tian Yue's aura?" Puzzled, Chen Jiuge commanded numerous flying spiritual beasts to rush to the incident site.

"Though the aura reached Golden Immortal level, this power feels hollow, hopefully it's fine."

Judging the power level seemed high, Chen Jiuge didn't notify other disciples to accompany, plenty of spiritual beasts for cannon fodder made involvement unnecessary.

Eyes gleamed with fierce gaze as the Netherworld Vulture, under Chen Jiuge's command, dove into the large pit below.

"Gawk!"

"Zzzzz"

Black energy at the pit's bottom began moving independently; silent, the Netherworld Vulture didn't notice until the black energy wrapped around it, too late then.

"Gawk!"

The moment the vulture uttered a sharp cry, its expression froze, and the huge body turned into a puddle of pus, staining the ground.

"This feels like Yin Qi? Odd, the aura is slightly off, including a faint destructive aura?"

"Divine Skills—Myriad Wood Divine Command, Seek!"

A clear spiritual energy trail appeared to Chen Jiuge, the earth-yellow trajectory headed straight to the Purple Sun Mine.

"Still Senior Brother, surprisingly expected, yet somewhat unsurprisingly!" Chen Jiuge sighed slightly.

"Go!"

With a wave of hand, carrying numerous spiritual beasts, Chen Jiuge set up a simple array in the pit, leaving one spiritual beast to guard, preventing disciples from mistakenly entering.

Moments later, Chen Jiuge reached the entrance of the Purple Sun Mine.

"Senior Brother Chen!" Two disciples were alarmed, inwardly suffering; what day was this, with both Senior Brothers Tian Yue and Chen coming?

Facing sudden surveillance twice in a short time, they had no words for their grievances.

Chen Jiuge paid little mind to their guarding attitude, earnestly asking, "Who went inside previously!"

Due to ghost monsters, most slaves mining the Purple Sun Ore had died, leaving it currently vacant.

"Senior Brother Tian Yue, he went in before!"

"Take my hand order, inform other disciples to guard key array points, activate the Great Array, permit no entry or exit!" Chen Jiuge said solemnly.

"Yes, Senior Brother Chen!"

With the jade pendant's core triggered, a giant purple sword manifested above Purple Sun Mountain, city walls connected to the Great Array exuding an indestructible aura, massive swords appeared repeatedly on the walls.

At the Purple Sun Mine's entrance, it received substantial attention from Chen Jiuge, densely packed with hovering purple flying swords, tips aimed at the entrance, ready for a thunderous strike of anyone exiting.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Jiuge summoned several small spiritual beasts, mostly insect types, like human-tall Double-Sword Mantis, blue-glowing Ice Toads, particularly strong-legged grasshoppers.

Imparting Tian Yue's image into the spirits' minds, Chen Jiuge waved: "Go, find him, capture him; don't hold back if needed!"

Though insect-type spiritual beasts have low intelligence, they follow simple orders.

Quietly gazing at the entrance, Chen Jiuge pondered: "Why go into the Purple Sun Mine?"

"Just now, that aura, Senior Brother Tian Yue, you targeted Senior Brother Gu!"
