Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1387 - 984: Annihilating the Hundred Beasts, Thousand Gates Crisis
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
Hundred Beasts Mountain, thick clouds layered, rare absence of scorching sun, the usually noisy spirit beasts in the valley now seemed exceptionally silent.
As if they too had quieted down due to the impending heavy rain.
Master Qian He landed in the Great Hall of the Hundred Beasts Sect, yet he couldn’t calm his heart.
More than ten years ago, he naturally knew he had left no traces, even if the Celestial Sand Sect had suspicions, it was no matter.
But the more he pondered Master Yue Hua’s words, the more he realized he had indeed acted impulsively.
In the Southern Wilderness Province, although their Golden Core Sect had considerable authority, ultimately it depended on the stance of the Righteous Sect.
If the Righteous Sect decided to take action, even a few casual words could put the Hundred Beasts Sect in a tough spot.
But after all these years of consideration, he still couldn’t think of a way to respond.
After all, if the Ye Family was also a beast-taming clan sect, they would surely see the Hundred Beasts Sect as a thorn in their side.
Now they even surmise that the Ye Family has already taken action, making reconciliation impossible.
After pacing in the hall for a while, he released a spirit talisman.
Soon, a cultivator flew in, his expression tense, brows tightly furrowed.
"Has there been any news from Elder Yue Hua?"
"Not yet, it should be that the Golden Roc Demon King has not recovered." The disciple responded, speaking with great apprehension, fearing that Master Qian He would vent his anger on him.
Especially upon seeing Master Qian He’s worsening expression, the disciple’s head dipped even lower.
Yet strangely, Master Qian He did not scold him, but instead fell silent.
"Make sure the sect’s divisions are prepared with jade talismans, record everything about the Hundred Beasts Sect, and arrange for disciples feeding spirit beasts to prepare some Tier Two Blood Boiling Pills. If there’s trouble, have all the demon beasts riot immediately." After a long pause, Master Qian He finally spoke.
At this moment, he was the only Golden Core in the Hundred Beasts Sect, and he dared not be careless. This moment, he could not show any other status, nor could he flee.
He knew that running meant death; he could not escape Wangqing Prefecture, and rather than fleeing, he decided to stay at Hundred Beasts Mountain unless someone sent a Nascent Soul cultivator; otherwise, the other party would certainly act cautiously.
The rules of the Righteous Sect in the Southern Wilderness Province, even Wang Qing Prefecture could not violate them.
After the disciple left, Qian He clenched his fists and began inspecting the sect’s Grand Array.
Just at this moment, a spiritual ship appeared in the distance.
Prompting all the disciples of the Hundred Beasts Sect to gather and observe.
"It’s Uncle Yue Hua returning, open the array, open the array!" The cultivator in charge of the array was a large-eared Purple Mansion cultivator. Upon seeing Master Yue Hua’s spiritual ship and the jade-like figure on its bow, he had no doubt.
He hurriedly manipulated the array, opening a gap at the mountain gate.
Even Master Qian He couldn’t stop it.
"Junior Brother!" Master Qian He flew up, initially not suspecting that Master Yue Hua might be fake, as appearances could change, but not the Tier Four spiritual ship and the accompanying magical treasures.
Moreover, Master Yue Hua always had his own ideas and acted independently.
"Senior Brother, I received news that Hezhong Mansion is in trouble!" Master Yue Hua called out from afar.
"Junior Brother, has the Golden Roc Demon King recovered?" Master Qian He inquired.
"Recovered!" Master Yue Hua nodded, his hand moving to pat his waist’s Spirit Beast Bag.
But with that pat, Master Qian He became extremely vigilant.
Yet, no matter how vigilant, it was already too late.
From the moment the Mountain Protection Array opened, the outcome was already determined.
The Earth Dragon Demon Emperor appeared in the void, a gigantic Sea Measuring Stele descended, binding the void, while Ye Haicheng released a multitude of Soul-Devouring Insects brought from the Forbidden Land of Fallen Souls.
As the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor appeared, even though Master Qian He took out two magical treasures and released two Early Stage Fourth Tier demon kings.
Yet under the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor’s Mountain Prison Skill and Rock Burst Technique, they burst apart without lasting even a breath.
He died without even knowing who killed him!
The Rock Burst Technique collapsed half the summit of Hundred Beasts Mountain, its aftershock killing countless cultivators, though the disciples of the Hundred Beasts Sect were not few, many still fled in all directions.
However, the flying Soul-Devouring Insects transformed into a sea of insects, devouring everything in their path.
At the same time, the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor’s Golden Light Domain covered the entire Hundred Beasts Mountain, those Qi cultivation cultivators with weaker physiques turned into blood mist directly under the golden light, those with stronger bodies also slowed down significantly.
Gold rain fell from the sky, only this golden rain was not actual raindrops, but golden dust.
This dust could also turn into sharp blades, piercing the foreheads of numerous cultivators.
With the Sea Measuring Stele’s restriction, forget Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation, even those at the Purple Mansion layer could only despair.
The beasts on the mountain also started to riot.
Yet this riot was quelled when the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor let out a long roar, causing most beasts to become paralyzed on the ground.
The aura of the Flood Dragon was simply not something ordinary demon beasts could resist.
Meanwhile, Ye Haicheng’s figure also turned ghost-like, hunting down the remaining cultivators.
...
Thousand Gates City, considered the forefront between Wangqing Prefecture and Demon Pass Mansion.
As the tallest mountain peak within a hundred miles, Thousand Gates City is regarded as Iron City.
The entire city was bleak with cold light; it was late autumn, and due to the higher elevation of the mountain peak, snowflakes even began to fall.
In the city, quite a few cultivators were observing.
After all, if the Profound Celestial Demon Sect were to massively attack, Thousand Gates City would be an excellent observation point.
Master Yuan Liu and Master Yuan Hu from the Hundred Beasts Sect were situated in this city.
Their expressions were grim; anyone could see Wangqing Prefecture’s hostility.
At that moment, a cultivator hurriedly approached.
"Master, something’s wrong, rumors are spreading all over Thousand Gates City about a sect colluding with the Demon Sect and framing the Celestial Sand Sect!" This cultivator was a disciple of Master Yuan Liu.
Such news at this moment was certainly intriguing.
"Is there any response from the sect or your Master Yue Hua?" Master Yuan Liu, though internally unsettled, pretended to be calm.
At this moment, the two of them could not afford to panic.
"The sect has not responded, and the Sect Token has been silent." The disciple continued.
Upon hearing this, Master Yuan Liu’s expression changed.
"Additionally, Master, yesterday the entire Thousand Gates City saw other sects’ cultivators being replaced!" The disciple further elaborated.
"What identities do the Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment cultivators deployed by other forces have? Are there any core disciples?"
"No, most of them are unimportant cultivators."
"Damn, this Thousand Gates City is nothing but a grave!" Master Yuan Liu’s face could no longer remain calm, cursing angrily.
"Senior Brother, if we do not leave, they wouldn’t dare openly attack Thousand Gates City, would they? Unless it’s the Demon Sect, but how could the Demon Sect cooperate with them!"
"Junior Brother, it’s not that simple; those Purple Mansion Foundation Establishment cultivators are just pawns, some might even be avatars!" Master Yuan Liu was filled with anger and helplessness.
"Our only chance is to split up and flee, and do not escape to other places, only head towards Demon Pass Mansion!" Master Yuan Liu continued.
"If my speculation is correct, rumors about us framing the Celestial Sand Sect have already spread throughout Wangqing Prefecture’s market!"
"But they have no evidence!" Another True Master tried to argue.
"Junior Brother, foolishness! At this time, who else besides us would care if the evidence is real or not!"
