The Master of Beasts-Chapter 716 - 214_2

"Humans are indeed greedy creatures!"

Reflecting on the past, according to the initial plan of Mei, the three of them disguised themselves as Dao Artifacts with spiritual wisdom to seek refuge with a certain power. Unexpectedly, they wanted to erase their spiritual wisdom and claim it for themselves.

In a fit of rage, that poor little force was completely destroyed by the three of them in their fury.

"Can you eat?"

Black Butterfly approached the sand scorpion where Wang was, and hesitantly asked.

"Yes!" Wang nodded slowly, emitting a sound of metal scraping against metal.

"That's great, try the specialty Star Immortal Tea from Star Moon City and the Water Moon Spiritual Fish!"

Black Butterfly happily waved out a large amount of food, the innocent face full of enthusiasm: "Go ahead, try it."

Wang looked at Black Butterfly, somewhat lost, and slightly moved the helmet, pointing to himself: "Me?"

"Yes, of course it's for you, don't be shy, we're out here to help each other, right?" Black Butterfly proactively took Wang's hand and placed a cup of Star Immortal Tea in his palm.

"Here, taste it."

Wang paused for a moment, snorted coldly in his heart, "All disguises, drink it then, this body isn't afraid of poison anyway."

"Slurp"

A tiny stream of the Star Immortal Tea formed in the cup, disappearing into the darkness beneath the helmet.

"How is it? Tastes good, right?" Black Butterfly eagerly asked.

Wang remained silent for a long time and only nodded when he saw the light in Black Butterfly's eyes dimming, "Tastes good!"

"Really?"

"Really!"

Wang had long lost the normal human sense of taste, he was nearly impervious to flavors.

"Manager!"

A call from afar made Black Butterfly awkwardly stick out his tongue, "Sorry, I have to go. You continue eating!"

Wang watched Black Butterfly hop away, his mind wandering, yet he never let go of the cup in his hand.

"Truly ridiculous!"

The cup in his hand suddenly turned into a pile of powder, carried away by the wind.

.......

"Bang"

With a stick, a loose cultivator was knocked to the ground, the blood flowing from him making Chi Hong's throat involuntarily twitch.

"Can't drink, can't drink, if I drink this, there'll be no roast lamb leg, roast beef leg, Spiritual Fish soup...."

"Hey, what are you daydreaming about?" Zhan Ge slapped Chi Hong hard on the shoulder, causing him to stagger.

"Brother Zhan Ge, did you settle it on the opposite side?" Chi Hong asked in surprise.

The loose cultivator team causing trouble this time wasn't weak, led by two Five Elements Sect disciples, both Three Flowers Heavenly Immortals, the strongest loose cultivator team active lately.

"Of course, look at who I am!" Zhan Ge boasted with a bit of arrogance.

"Brother Zhan Ge, you're really amazing!"

Chi Hong quietly added in his heart, "I want to have powerful slaves like Zhan Ge, just like my father!"

"Report, Commander, a large number of loose cultivators detected ahead!"

"Hmm? A large number of loose cultivators?" Zhan Ge furrowed his brow with some displeasure, "What's with the intelligence department?"

"Let's go, follow me to see this!"

An old loose cultivator with white hair, a young loose cultivator with disheveled clothes, a small loose cultivator with timid eyes.

Looking at this disorganized group of loose cultivators, a trace of puzzlement appeared on Zhan Ge's face: "What's going on?"

"Hey, old man, where did you guys come from?"

The old loose cultivator pointed out stepped forward tremblingly and said, "Sir, we are loose cultivators living in the Beisheng Sect. For some reason, a few days ago, the Beisheng Sect suddenly perished, and there wasn't a single living person in the entire City Lord Mansion."

"The ghosts and those Spiritual Beasts from outside invaded in force, we couldn't resist, so we fled all the way here."

"From the Beisheng Sect?"

Zhan Ge was momentarily stunned, that was far away indeed. The area past the Puppet Sect used to be a decent powers consolidation point, this place was no smaller than the Five Elements Sect's domains.

These power consolidations in the past were just vast mountain ranges, beyond the mountains lay the Beisheng Sect, which was a sect on par with, if not slightly stronger than the Five Elements Sect!

"You say the Beisheng Sect has been annihilated? Are you joking?" Zhan Ge thought the old guy was being a bit dishonest.

It took them so many years to subdue the slightly weaker Five Elements Sect, being such a strong force, wasn't it a joke to say the Beisheng Sect was wiped out overnight!

"Sir, it's true!"

"We aren't lying!"

"If you don't believe us, you can send someone to check for themselves!"

"Stop." Zhan Ge shouted, then inquired puzzledly, "Then how did you all get across? Those mountain ranges weren't passable for ordinary people, right?"

The old loose cultivator showed a trace of confusion: "I'm not sure, but we indeed came from there."

"We didn't encounter any danger along the way, not even ghosts, the Spiritual Beasts we encountered were mild-tempered and vegetarian."

"Strange!"

Zhan Ge mulled it over, a trace of worry surfacing in his heart, the stranger the phenomemon, the greater the danger!

"Fine, take them all back!"

"Sir, we only..."

Zhan Ge waved his hand to interrupt the loose cultivator's words, somewhat impatiently saying: "Don't worry, nothing will be done to you, it's just for answering some questions!"

"Alright.. alright"

........

In the Heavenly Prison

Black Eye wiped his dirty hands, looking serious, "They are not lying, whether it's about the Beisheng Sect or them coming over the mountain range, they are all telling the truth!"

"For real? That there's someone who could annihilate the entire Beisheng Sect overnight is too outrageous!" Zhan Ge was a bit incredulous.

With that standard, wouldn't wiping out Star Moon City just require a little extra effort?

Perhaps even easier, considering the stretch of Star Moon City is so vast, even though the presence of the Ten Thousand City Sky Lock makes city defense strong, the stationed cultivators are still too few.

"I've already informed the master, he said he will send someone to investigate, and your Northern Guards shouldn't move around freely recently, station them directly in that border city at the Puppet Sect!"

"Oh, and Chi Hong, return him to the Star Moon Guards, he shouldn't be going either!" Black Eye conveyed.

"Okay, but keeping Chi Hong here isn't a waste, his temperament and skills suit working with me!" Zhan Ge somewhat appreciated Chi Hong.

"That's the master's directive, if you're not satisfied, you can tell the master yourself." Black Eye said calmly.

Zhan Ge looked disdainfully at Black Eye, complaining: "Ever since you've been in the Heavenly Prison, your face is getting stiffer and colder, nothing like before, I wonder if Bi Yan would despise you when he sees you in the future!"

"Bi Yan." Black Eye was momentarily stunned, said somberly, "Such matters are too far off!"

Zhan Ge shook his head slightly, "Can't you sense that they're alive? There will be a reunion someday."

"We'll see then!"

"Take these loose cultivators away, there isn't much space left in my Heavenly Prison."

"Okay, okay, like an ice shard!" Zhan Ge said, exasperated.

Chen Jiuge, at Star Moon Pond, was dazing in the water, or rather, contemplating the way forward.

"Beisheng Sect is destroyed too? Puppet Sect brought it upon itself, but what's the cause for Beisheng Sect?"

"How come the Golden Mountain Range has only mild-tempered Spiritual Beasts, where did the other Spiritual Beasts go?"

"Also, the number of ghosts doesn't add up, the Puppet Sect might have cleared their area of ghosts, but where did the ghosts from the Five Elements Sect go?"

"Too strange, it feels like someone is manipulating everything from behind the scenes!"

"And why would the Ghost Puppet be with Black Butterfly's caravan and seem inactive?"

All these nonsensical events piled together were giving Chen Jiuge a headache.

If it was just the initial Star Moon City, Chen Jiuge wouldn't bother thinking about it, considering his ability, encircling the city to form an unbreakable fortress with Heavenly Immortal Spiritual Beasts wouldn't be difficult!

"Master, let me go!"

A Three-eyed Truth Listener silently emerged from the center of the lake.

Clear streams of water continuously flowed down its dark green scale armor, the third eye on its forehead opening and closing, emitting faint spirit light.

This Three-eyed Truth Listener was a recent creation of Chen Jiuge. A normal Truth Listener was already a strong Spiritual Beast, not to mention this mutated Three-eyed Truth Listener, not only did it have an exceptionally strong sense, its combat power was absurdly high.

If using Chen Jiuge as a unit, this Truth Listener could at least fight off ten Chen Jiuge!

After a thoughtful frown, Chen Jiuge slowly nodded, "Alright, but be careful, the first priority is to protect yourself if there's any danger!"

"Rest assured, master, you know my abilities, if I want to leave, no one will be able to stop me!"

The Truth Listener submerged into the lake, its form slowly disappearing.

"Hope everything goes smoothly!"
