"Who said I'm going to sell it?"
Zhao Li was startled for a moment, and anger rose on his face. "Can't you just take it for yourself? Let me tell you, this beast was captured by everyone together. Everyone here has … "
"Roar …" Before he could even finish, the Concealed Rock Beast suddenly roared at him, and in an instant, sprayed saliva all over his face. If you make any more noise, I'll eat you!
"Meow ~ ~" Rub my head, rub again!
Zhao Li's face paled from fright. That roar had even caused his heart to tremble, and he hurriedly jumped a few steps back. "You … Didn't you tame it?"
"You knew it was me as well?" Zhu Yao rolled her eyes. "It wasn't you!"
Zhao Li shut his mouth, his face alternated between green and white.
The Qin girly sighed, and had no choice but to mediate. "This … Junior-martial sister Yu, you tamed this demonic beast. I wonder how you plan to deal with this … spiritual beast."
Zhu Yao turned to look at the beastie who was beginning to roll its stomach at her. She really couldn't make the decision. Taking a few steps forward, she softly asked. "Beastie, are you willing to form a contract with a human practitioner?"
"Meow?" The beastie stopped rolling, and tilted its head, with a confused look.
"The contract is, in the future, you have to be with that person forever."
"Meow, beastie likes you!" It coquettishly rolled a few times. "Beastie wants to be with you, together, together …"
"Not me, I'm talking about other practitioners."
"Other?" It was startled for a moment. "Other practitioners just want to slap him away, slap him away, slap him away …"
"…" Alright, it seemed like it wasn't willing.
In the end, the World Favourable Impression was only for her. She didn't dare to guarantee that if she brought it back, it wouldn't swallow the person who wanted to form a contract with it in one gulp.
Zhu Yao turned to look at the others. "I've decided, let it go."
"What!" Zhao Li jumped out again. "You're crazy, this is a fourth rank demonic beast! Even if you're not willing to sell it, what if this demonic beast goes out and harms the nearby residents after we leave? "
"Harms?" Zhu Yao coldly laughed, and threw the trident mystic artifact in her hands in front of him. "The reason why this demonic beast was so violent, was because a practitioner used this mystic artifact to capture it alive. In the end, he failed to catch the beast, and the magic tool was left in its mouth. It was in so much pain that it kept making noises. In the end, isn't this disaster caused by the human cultivators themselves? "In the end, who was the one who harmed who? "I can guarantee that after I release it, it won't appear at the edge of the forest again."
Zhao Li saw that he could not win the argument and could only retort, "This has nothing to do with us … We're here on a mission. If he's alive, we want to see him. If he's dead, we want to see his corpse. If we fail the mission, wouldn't our efforts be in vain? "
"I can explain the situation to the Sect Master." Xiao Bai took a step forward and said, "If Senior Brother is worried about this, there will naturally be people from the sect coming to check."
"You make it sound nice, but the spirit stones are gone just like that." Zhao Li was still somewhat unwilling.
Zhu Yao said. "If worst comes to worst, I don't want the reward that belongs to me." In any case, she was currently a tycoon, and any random brick in Skybond Peak would be worth a few hundred times more than theirs, alright?
"I don't want mine either." Little White immediately responded.
"I don't need it either." Unexpectedly, Ye Qingcang stood out as well, and gave her a grateful smile.
Only then did Zhao Li become speechless. Seeing that no one had any objections, the matter was settled.
Zhu Yao and that demonic beast had a good chat, before the Concealed Rock Beast reluctantly returned to the karst cave, and promised to never come out again.
The crowd had initially planned to return to the sect, but the sky was already dark, and this place was close to Key Forest, where heretic practitioners would occasionally appear. For safety reasons, everyone decided to stay in the nearest practitioner town for a night. They would return to the sect tomorrow morning.
Zhu Yao was indeed tired as well. After bidding farewell to Little White and the rest, she began to meditate and recuperate. However, in the middle of the night, she suddenly felt a familiar oppressive aura, and she was startled awake. She looked at her surroundings, but it was quiet, and there was nothing out of the ordinary.
She kept feeling that something was amiss, and her heart felt strange. When she opened the door, she bumped into Little White and Ye Qingcang who had just come out. Just as she was about to greet them, an enraged beast's roar resounded from outside. It was especially clear in the silent night sky.
Zhu Yao's heart skipped a beat, as though something was tugging at it.
The others came out from their rooms as well. Evidently, they had all heard that roar.
"Grandma, what's that roar?" Little White looked at her with a shocked expression.
"It's that Concealed Rock Beast during the day!" Zhu Yao grew even more worried. That roar was filled with despair and anger, and was completely different from the irritable one during the day.
"Where's senior-martial brother Zhao Li?" Ye Qingcang asked. Only then did the crowd realize that one person was missing.
"Not good!" Party Leader Qin exclaimed.
Zhu Yao was already flying towards the karst cave during the day on her flying sword, and her heart sank even more. She had underestimated the greed of humans too much. A few Foundation practitioners dared to challenge a fourth rank demonic beast, so naturally, they would dare to return to this place for greater benefits.
The oppressive aura in the air grew even heavier. From afar, she could already see the fiery light soaring into the sky from the direction of the karst cave. Mixed within were the miserable cries of demonic beasts, and the cries of human practitioners. Even though there was still a distance between them, she could still smell the pungent scent of blood in the air.
Although she had already made preparations in her heart, when she saw the situation over there, Zhu Yao was still stunned by the scene in front of her eyes. There was blood everywhere, and even the entire rock wall had been dyed red. That Concealed Rock Beast was trapped in a corner of the rock wall by dozens of practitioners. A few pieces of its rock-covered skin were already missing, revealing its flesh and eerie white bones.
It seemed to have already fallen into some sort of madness, and had completely lost its rationality. Its eyes were completely bloodshot, and its claws furiously clawed at the ground. However, it still stood in its original spot, allowing the various mystic arts of those practitioners to land on its body. It did not take a single step away, and was tightly protecting the thing behind it.
And on the Sound Recording Stone behind it, an illusory figure was currently floating. That was an old granny wearing a cyan gown.
Zhu Yao simply felt her mind buzzing, and boundless rage surged into her heart, burning her to the point where her entire body was trembling.
They actually used her image to lure this beastie out!
"Hurry, this demonic beast can't hold on any longer. Hurry and subdue it! "A familiar voice loudly shouted from among the human practitioners.
A contract formation rose up and headed towards the demonic beast. The runes of the contract had black lines on them. This was … a death contract! According to the legends, it was a vicious formation used to forcefully subdue demonic beasts. If the demonic beast had the slightest bit of resistance, the formation would directly devour the demonic beast's inner core, until its core shattered and it died. Even if it was successfully subdued, the demonic beast would still forcefully drop a rank.
Zhu Yao's heart clenched, and she madly urged the flying sword beneath her feet. Before it could even reach, she immediately summoned her own sword intent, and directly attacked the death contract formation. A lightning phoenix whistled through the air, and instantly shattered the formation. With a long cry, it disappeared into the horizon.
"Beastie." Zhu Yao wished that she could turn around and give Zhao Li a good beating. However, she had no choice but to first call back the Concealed Rock Beast's rationality.
And then, that injured beastie, could no longer hear her at all.
"It's you!" When Zhao Li saw that his deed had been exposed, his expression changed, and a hint of panic flashed past his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, the Concealed Rock Beast suddenly let out a long roar. Its entire body began to emit a red light, and the surrounding metal and earth spiritual energy began to wildly surge into its body. A huge pressure instantly swept out, and all of the practitioners could not even stand stably.
"This is …" Zhao Li was startled.
"That demonic beast is forcefully breaking through!" A practitioner cried out in fear.
Squad Leader Qin and the others rushed over as well, and when they saw the situation, they were all stunned. They turned to glare at Zhao Li at the side. "Junior-martial brother Zhao, how can you go back on your word? Take advantage of the night to call the wandering practitioners over before returning. "
"I never agreed to let this demonic beast go." Zhao Li coldly snorted. "The ones who agreed are you guys. Furthermore, this demonic beast has already gone insane. In a situation like this, we can only kill it before it breaks through. Otherwise, no one will be able to escape. I'm doing this for you … "
Boom!
Before he could even finish, Zhu Yao immediately sent a bolt of heavenly lightning striking his body.
Zhao Li simply felt his entire body aching, and his body was instantly charred black. His Dantian was in immense pain, and his spiritual energy instantly dispersed. He immediately knelt down, and could not help but puke out a mouthful of blood. He looked at Zhu Yao in fear, and said. "You … You … How dare you?"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Zhu Yao coldly glanced at him, and said with emphasis on every single word. "Zhao Li, only after seeing you do I understand what shamelessness is! A person like you is basically not worthy of cultivating into a deity. From today onwards, you are no longer a disciple of Ness Cesary Sect. "
Zhao Li's expression paled. After carefully sensing his body, he realized that the spiritual energy in his body could no longer be gathered, and his cultivation was rapidly falling. "You … How can you destroy my Spirit Vein? I'm a disciple of the Main Mountain. Based on what?"
"Based on what?" Zhu Yao stared straight into his eyes, and said with emphasis on every single word. "Based on the fact that I'm your ancestral-grand master, the senior-martial uncle of Ness Cesary Sect Master, and the master of Skybond Peak. Based on my cultivation level at the middle stages of Foundation, I can still turn you into dust! "
She once again summoned her Sword Intent, and a gigantic lightning phoenix instantly appeared in the sky. With a flap of its broad wings, several thousand lightning bolts struck onto the ground with a loud rumble.
Everyone present was stunned by this scene. Although they couldn't recognize that it was sword intent, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts when they saw the streaks of lightning. Was … was this really the power of a cultivator in the middle stage of the foundational level?
Zhao Li was instantly dumbfounded. After being glared at by that lightning phoenix, his entire body instinctively began to tremble. He basically did not hear what she said.
Zhu Yao looked at the dozen or so practitioners gathered by Zhao Li, and said with emphasis on every single word. "Does anyone have any objections?"
The practitioners exchanged glances, and a moment later, a late-stage Foundation practitioner walked out while trembling. "It's not convenient for us to interfere in Ness Cesary Sect's internal affairs. We were merely misled by this person. Since you guys have already dealt with this demonic beast, we will take our leave first. "
After saying that, the group of wandering practitioners left cleanly, and none of them dared to turn back to look at Zhao Li.
"Martial … granduncle Yu." The Qin girly took a step forward. Even until now, she still could not believe that the old man in front of her was that legendary granduncle of Skybond Peak. However, looking at the expression of the elite disciple Bai Zhiyuan at the side, she knew that she was not lying. "I wonder how we should deal with this demonic beast now?"
This demonic beast had evidently lost its rationality. If it were to forcefully advance now, it would definitely lose control and self-destruct. At that time, no one within a radius of five kilometers would be able to escape.
"I will try to stop it from advancing. You guys hurry and leave this place." Zhu Yao did not say much. Taking a deep breath, she immediately controlled her sword intent and flew towards the demonic beast which was already completely surrounded by red light. It turned into a white gas and enveloped the entire demonic beast.
The Zhao girly and Profiteer hesitated for a moment, before grabbing onto Zhao Li who had already lost all of his cultivation, and flew away on their swords.
As Zhu Yao suppressed the demonic beast's chaotic aura, she separated out a strand of spiritual energy to probe into it and awaken its rationality. Unfortunately, it was after all a fourth rank demonic beast, and its intelligence was not high in the first place. Adding that it was in a life and death situation earlier, awakening it was extremely difficult. Zhu Yao worked hard for a long time, but very quickly, she began to feel a little powerless.
She hated this Foundation level body. If her cultivation was a little higher, or if she was able to use her divine sense, it would not be this difficult.
Suddenly, a surge of spiritual energy entered her body through her back. Zhu Yao turned to look. "The hell, little tyrant, didn't I tell you guys to hurry and leave!?"
"Grandma, how can I possibly leave you alone?" Little tyrant said with a righteous look. "Furthermore, if anything happens to you, the Sect Master will definitely punish me."
"Then what's the matter with you?" Zhu Yao glared at Ye Qingcang at the side.
Ye Qingcang smiled, and then said with a stern look. "I have yet to thank granny for saving my life in the day."
"So?"
"So I can't leave grandma alone." Little tyrant said with a determined look.
"And I can't not repay your kindness either." Ye Qingcang said with a determined look.
The two of them exchanged glances, and then smiled at each other. They were indeed a pair of affectionate and loyal youths. They were definitely worthy of the Ten Outstanding Young Pioneers Award. Towards such outstanding youths, Zhu Yao was naturally filled with gratitude … My ass!
Flips table! The hell, isn't it worse for the two of you to stay? At the very least, she could still give it a try if she was alone. Even if she couldn't, she could still switch to another avatar. Now that there were two additional burdens, she didn't even have the chance to log off, alright?
Ten Outstanding your granny, outstanding your granny.
"I'll have to trouble you two to scram, alright? Don't cause any more trouble. "
"We won't be leaving!" The two young pioneers nodded heavily.
The hell!
Zhu Yao really wanted to pinch the two of them to death.
The Concealed Rock Beast's aura began to explode, and the seal formed by Zhu Yao's sword intent was suddenly broken. A ray of fiery light charged out, and the sword intent completely disintegrated. Zhu Yao simply felt a huge pain in the depths of her Dantian, and she puked out a mouthful of blood.
"Grandma!"
"Granny!"
The two young pioneers exclaimed at the same time.
"What are you shouting for? Run!" Zhu Yao picked up the two youths, and was about to fly away on her flying sword.
That red light grew even brighter, and it looked as though it was about to explode in all directions. It's over, we're dead for sure!
"Pea ~ ~ ~"
Suddenly, a green light flashed in her bosom, and a small green ball flew out. It grew with the wind, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a gigantic pea! It occupied half of the sky, and immediately after, that round pea, with an 'ah' sound, swallowed the rampaging demonic beast with an 'ah' sound, just like the big pea in the Pac-Man game.
The three of them: "…"
The entire place was silent.
