Hearing Xiang Wu's words, Ji Tianxing's brows twitched as a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.
"Deacon Xiang, that's impossible, right?"
"My Qian Yue is still young and weak. How could she kill a Rank 3 spirit beast?"
Ji Tianxing knew that a Rank 3 spirit beast's strength was equivalent to an expert at the fifth or sixth level of the Profound Comprehension Realm.
Although the Sky Pillar Sect's spirit beast garden had dozens of spirit beasts.
Most of the spirit beasts in the garden were Rank 1 and Rank 2 spirit beasts.
Rank 3 spirit beasts were rare and rare, and there were only a few of them.
When he heard that Qian Yue had killed a Rank 3 spirit beast, his first reaction was disbelief.
However, Xiang Wu nodded with a grave expression and said, "Ji Tianxing, this matter is absolutely true. Come with me."
Ji Tianxing replied calmly, "That's fine too. I also want to see if there is any misunderstanding."
Subsequently, he followed Xiang Wu and left the Tianxing Courtyard for the spirit beast garden.
The spirit beast garden was located at the back of the nine peaks of the Sky Pillar Sect.
The two of them hurried for over an hour before arriving at the peak of Spirit Beast Peak.
There were over a dozen palaces and courtyards on the peak, but most of the area was empty land with short shrubs and bushes.
That area was protected by tall walls and arrays. It was the spirit beast garden where spirit beasts were raised.
Of course, there were a total of three beast gardens on Spirit Beast Peak. The two gardens halfway up the mountain were used to raise Rank 1 and Rank 2 low-grade spirit beasts.
There were only seven third rank spirit beasts in the Beast Garden at the peak of the mountain.
Xiang Wu first brought Ji Tianxing into the spirit beast garden to check on the spirit beast that was killed.
It was a Quiet Shadow Leopard that was over four meters long. Its entire body was black and gray, and its muscles were filled with power.
This was a genuine Rank 3 spirit beast that could be used as a mount for an expert and could also participate in battles.
Unfortunately, this Quiet Shadow Leopard that had been raised in the spirit beast garden for five years was now lying dead in the forest.
There were no obvious wounds on its body, only a few claw marks on its head.
However, its skull had been smashed into pieces. Blood, broken bones, and minced meat mixed together. It was a ghastly sight.
Ji Tianxing knew at a glance that this Shadow Leopard had been attacked by a spirit beast and killed with a single swipe of its paw.
Xiang Wu looked at the dead Quiet Shadow Leopard with a pained expression. He said in a low voice, "We have raised this Quiet Shadow Leopard for five years. It is already very intelligent."
"Originally, this Shadow Leopard was going to be awarded to an inner court disciple with outstanding performance in the Heaven Ranking Competition next month."
"But now … sigh!"
Xiang Wu shook his head and sighed heavily.
Ji Tianxing didn't say anything. He said expressionlessly, "Deacon Xiang, take me to see Qian Yue."
Xiang Wu nodded and said in a deep voice, "This matter has alarmed Elder Wu of our hall. Your pet has been detained by him."
"Elder Wu is waiting for you in the main hall. I will take you there now."
Fifteen minutes later, Xiang Wu took Ji Tianxing into the main hall of the Hall of Spirit Beasts.
In the main hall, a skinny old man with gray hair and a beard was sitting at the head of the table. He was resting with his eyes closed, expressionless.
He was Elder Wu of the Hall of Spirit Beasts. During the apprenticeship ceremony, he had given Ji Tianxing a congratulatory gift.
On the wooden table next to Elder Wu, there was a black iron cage the size of a washbasin.
The iron cage was engraved with patterns of an array. It was glowing with a colorful glow and emitting True Origin Energy.
Qian Yue was curled up in the iron cage, looking drowsy.
Xiang Wu took Ji Tianxing into the main hall and bowed to Elder Wu. "Greetings, Elder Wu! I have brought Ji Tianxing here! "
Only then did Elder Wu open his eyes and look at Ji Tianxing indifferently.
Qian Yue was woken up by Xiang Wu's words. It raised its head and looked outside.
Seeing Ji Tianxing, Qian Yue smiled as if a heavy burden had been lifted off its shoulders.
Ji Tianxing stepped forward and cupped his fists to Elder Wu. "Greetings, Elder Wu. I am Ji Tianxing."
Elder Wu nodded slightly and said unhurriedly, "Ji Tianxing, Deacon Xiang has already shown you the corpse of the Shadow Leopard, right?"
Ji Tianxing answered honestly, "Yes, I have."
"But this cannot prove that it was my pet that killed the Shadow Leopard. There may be more to this."
"More to this?" Elder Wu raised his eyebrows and said in a dignified tone, "Manager Xiang saw it with his own eyes and your pet has confessed. Do you still want to defend yourself?"
Ji Tianxing didn't argue. He turned to Qian Yue and asked, "Qian Yue, did you really kill that Shadow Leopard?"
Speaking of this, Qian Yue was angry. "Ji, you can't blame me for this!"
"That little leopard suddenly went crazy and attacked me for no reason. I fought back!"
"Who would have thought that the little leopard would be so weak even though it looked so powerful. I killed it with one slap of my paw …"
Ji Tianxing was overjoyed. He asked in disbelief, "You really killed the Shadow Leopard with one paw? That was a third-rank spiritual beast! "
Elder Wu's face turned darker when he saw that Su Ping didn't feel guilty at all. Instead, he was overjoyed.
Xiang Wu stared at Ji Tianxing, speechless. He mumbled to himself, "How can this kid be so unruly? Your pet is in big trouble. Why are you so happy? "
Qian Yue seemed to be afraid that Ji Tianxing would be angry. He quickly explained, "Ji, I'm innocent!"
"I was just taking a stroll in the Spirit Beast Garden. Who knew that the little leopard would suddenly go crazy and bite me?"
"Also, it was too weak! I just fought back instinctively. I slapped it with my paw and it died. "
"Ji, I really just slapped it. I didn't mean to kill it."
Ji Tianxing was even more surprised when he heard Qian Yue's explanation.
"Qian Yue has only recovered 30% of his strength. He can kill a third-rank spiritual beast with just one paw."
"If he recovers 50% or 60% of his strength, won't he be able to deal with fourth-rank spiritual beasts of the Origin Core Realm?"
Thinking of this, he was full of expectations.
Seeing Qian Yue's anxious and aggrieved look, he quickly smiled and nodded. "Qian Yue, I believe you didn't do it on purpose. It's not your fault."
Qian Yue immediately smiled and nodded. He said coquettishly, "Ji, I knew you were reliable!"
Elder Wu's face turned even darker. He said in a dignified voice, "Ji Tianxing, I summoned you here not to comfort your pet, but to solve this matter."
Ji Tianxing nodded and said calmly, "Since that Shadow Leopard was killed by my pet, I have nothing to say."
"How should I solve this matter? Elder Wu, please tell me."
Elder Wu was very dissatisfied with his attitude. He shouted in a dignified voice, "How should I solve it? Of course, I will punish you according to the sect rules. Can you give me back a Shadow Leopard? "
