The Master of Beasts-Chapter 677 - 195_2

The purple cloak formed by condensed thunder slightly fluttered. Lei Chong's blue pupils coldly gazed down at the Purple Sun Ore, and in his hand, a giant thunderbolt spear materialized!

"You remnants, die!"

"Boom!"

Under the world-shattering attack, the entire Purple Sun Mountain was leveled, and the Purple Sun Ore completely vanished, leaving only a massive crater. A few purple crystals on the edge testified to its former existence.

At the moment Daluo from the Thunder God Temple appeared, Chen Jiuge quickly had the Shadow Demon take him into the Shadow Space and activated the Great Array with all his might.

However, the enormous purple sword, comparable to the attack of a typical Golden Immortal, had no resistance under the thunderbolt spear and was instantly evaporated.

Chen Jiuge, covered in dust and dirt, jumped out of the Shadow Space. He saw the desolate scene and his face looked grim.

After all this time, the walls they had built disappeared, and the lovely fellow disciples were gone without a trace. The once-vibrant Purple Sun Mountain had turned into a wasteland.

"My Spiritual Beasts!" Chen Jiuge felt heartbroken. Although everything else was distressing, it wasn't directly affecting his personal interests. But these Spiritual Beasts he had released were his foundation!

"Hmm?"

Lei Chong turned his gaze on Chen Jiuge, as if sensing something. He murmured, "Is this someone Shen Buhai values? Forget it, it's not wise to make enemies of the Sect now. I'll spare you this time!"

With a single hand, he tore the space apart and turned away, disappearing within.

"Whew, this is Daluo for you; utterly irresistible!" Chen Jiuge said with lingering fear.

At that moment, when Lei Chong was focused on him, forget resisting, he couldn't even move a muscle.

"Purple Sun Mountain is gone, and Senior Brother is probably dead too. Such is the fickle nature of the world!" Chen Jiuge let out a bitter chuckle and turned to leave.

Such a significant event had occurred, he surely needed to return to the Sect to report.

........

An hour later

The charred ground suddenly bulged into a mound, and a slightly blackened big hand stretched out, quickly followed by another hand, as white as clouds, and then Tian Yue's head.

"Haha."

With a soft chuckle, Tian Yue looked at his differently colored hands with a smile: "Turns out I wasn't deceived!"

"Deceive you? Why would anyone deceive you?" said Yi Qi, who had returned to human form, seemingly confused.

For a collaboration like this, sincerity is a must, not to mention he's currently in great need of some True Realm knowledge, and Tian Yue is a great ally.

"Let's go. There's still residual Daluo aura here. If he senses it, we are truly done for!"

"As for your breakthrough to the Golden Immortal, consider that when we're safe!"

"Alright, I've barely survived. I wouldn't want to die inexplicably!" Tian Yue nodded.

That attack just now, like the sky was collapsing, was something Tian Yue didn't wish to experience a second time. Nor did he think he could survive such means again.

"Do you know a place that's relatively safe?"

"Ming Sea, though noisy, has its safety assured!" Tian Yue pondered.

Actually, the forbidden areas in the True Realm are quite safe, but Ming Sea is relatively noisy compared to others, as long as one doesn't provoke the Spiritual Beasts living there.

"Then Ming Sea it is!"

.......

In mid-flight, Chen Jiuge suddenly stopped his movements, frowning slightly, puzzled by Shuibing who blocked him.

"This time, you likely won't be going back!" Shuibing said coolly.

"Why?"

"The Five Elements Sect is about to be destroyed!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chen Jiuge said, a bit speechless.

The Five Elements Sect, destroyed; how could this be possible? Is it supposed to fall just because of some ghostly beings?

"The Underworld is invading, and each Holy Land guards its own gates. It's not that they don't want to act; they're waiting for an opportune moment. Now that the timing is right, the emergence of the Evil Ghost makes those Holy Lands feel it's time to consolidate the Sects!" Shuibing slightly explained.

"Why is it that the Five Elements Sect is the one to be destroyed?" Chen Jiuge didn't understand; besides the Holy Lands, the Five Elements Sect was one of the strongest among the Sects. It didn't seem fitting as an appetizer!

"Because of the Reincarnation Sacred Land. The cycle of reincarnation restarts, and the main cultivation method's inheritance path of the Reincarnation Sacred Land has opened. A lot of new Daluos appeared, and the reason the Reincarnation Sacred Land was always looked down upon by other Holy Lands is because its founding ancestor was a True Disciple of the Five Elements Sect from Ancient Times."

"So, it's destiny, unless your strength can contend against the entire Reincarnation Sacred Land!"

"Just because of this?" Chen Jiuge was in disbelief.

"Yes, just because of this; because of boredom, because of status, for various messy reasons, these Holy Lands care the most about face!" Shuibing mocked.

"Then what about the fate of the Five Elements Sect?" Chen Jiuge asked somewhat dejected.

"No matter what, each Daluo is significant in terms of combat potential. They won't be allowed to easily fall, and both are from the same origin. According to my speculation, they probably won't even fight."

"I see. But what about the Heavenly Realm?" Chen Jiuge voiced his biggest concern.

"Don't worry, arrangements have long been made within the organization. Haven't you noticed that so far, not a single Heavenly Realm cultivator who ascended to the True Realm has appeared? That's because the Ascension Platform's ultimate destination wasn't the Five Elements Sect but our Heavenly Gate's Sky City!" Shuibing explained.

Chen Jiuge let out a sigh of relief, then his mouth twitched; even something like this could be pulled off by a switcheroo. Just how deeply had the Heavenly Gate infiltrated the Five Elements Sect!

"Alright, come with me!" Shuibing invited again.

"Go? Where to?"

"To the Golden Desert; we need to lay low now!"

"Which passageway is without problems?" Chen Jiuge asked, puzzled.

"Problems? Surely there are, but there won't be once we're inside!"

"Ah, so it's a handiwork by the Heavenly Gate, too. But then again, who else but the Heavenly Gate has such capabilities?" Chen Jiuge chuckled, not refusing.

Though a bit regretful, this kind of war involving the Holy Lands was beyond what Chen Jiuge could imagine. As for why he didn't notify his Master and his Grandmaster...

There was no need; their emotions towards the Five Elements Sect had already exceeded normal boundaries. Telling them to do nothing and follow him away was unrealistic.

Besides, even the Heavenly Gate may not accommodate them; it might even bring them danger!

Tearing through the void, the two stepped into it together. Suddenly, Shuibing said, "Once in the Golden Desert, expand your influence as much as possible!"

"That's not something I can achieve!" Chen Jiuge shook his head.

The number of Golden Immortals in the Golden Desert isn't few. Though restricted, they are still Golden Immortals, far beyond what a Heavenly Immortal can challenge beyond their rank.

"Worried about those Golden Immortals? Don't worry about that. After some time, those Golden Immortals will collectively leave. The Sect is almost gone, what use are those resources in the Golden Desert!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"If that's the case, I'll give it a try!"

Engrossed in conversation, the two unwittingly arrived at the end of the void. Gazing at the light-door passage nearby, Shuibing reminded, "Put in your utmost effort; this is crucial for you. Whether it's your cultivation path or your status in the organization, it will be of great help."

"If you don't want to become a piece easily discarded or a heartless Spiritual Beast production machine, seize this opportunity!"

Though unsure why Shuibing said such things, Chen Jiuge solemnly replied, "I will!"

After passing through the long corridor, Chen Jiuge looked at the dramatically changed Star Moon City, surprised: "It's grown so much bigger? What exactly did Mo Yu and the others do?"

"Who's there?"

A foreign and powerful presence emerged, and Yu Bai, who was on guard duty at the entrance, let out a roar.

"Hmm? Chen Jiuge? No, City Lord?" Yu Bai was unsure how to address this. Now he technically counted as Chen Jiuge's subordinate, remembering the scene of their first meeting, making him a bit embarrassed.

"Master White Tiger? Why are you here?" Chen Jiuge refrained from acting; he wasn't who he used to be. A mere Loose Cultivator of a Three Flowers True Immortal was no longer worth noticing.

"Master!"

"Roar roar roar!"

If Yu Bai could sense Chen Jiuge, the Spiritual Beasts left by Chen Jiuge, along with Mo Yu and others, naturally could too.

"I'm back!"

Looking at the familiar Spiritual Beasts before him, Chen Jiuge showed a comforting smile.

Holding Yue Meng, who rushed into his arms, Chen Jiuge stroked her head, comforting her: "It's okay, it's okay. I won't leave anymore!"

"You said it, you can't go back on your word!" Yue Meng pleaded, wiping away her little tears.

"Tsk, how embarrassing, Yue Meng. You should be as mature as Master Dabai!" Dabai, a step slower, mockingly said with disdain.

Chen Jiuge smiled slightly, extending a hand, and Dabai hesitated a bit before saying, "You invited me, it's not me going voluntarily!"

"Alright, alright!"
