The inhuman screams echoed throughout the eastern forest of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and even Xiao Yan, several miles away, couldn’t help but gasp.
The piercing screams were extremely intimidating; just listening to them made one feel unprecedented fear.
Xiao Yan smacked his lips and said: “Teacher…
what’s going on?
Over there suddenly…”
Standing beside Xiao Yan was an old man.
The old man wore a white robe with billowing sleeves, and his face was old and exceptionally kind.
His deep eyes radiated a wisdom that even old age could not hide, as if he had experienced many vicissitudes.
Even he was quite moved.
“Those are human screams.
I didn’t expect it to be so harsh.”
Xiao Yan swallowed his saliva and couldn’t help asking: “Teacher, shall we go take a look?”
The latter nodded; he also wanted to see what had happened.
But when the two arrived at the scene, what greeted them was a scene that almost made them vomit.
Madam Lan was currently surrounded by dozens of He Yuan—everyone can imagine what was being done.
He Yuan were magical beasts living in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, with strength only at the first or second rank.
These beasts had no real killing power, yet they were still fearsome.
Normally, no one would provoke them.
Furthermore, He Yuan were cunning by nature and never fought with the strong.
If they saw someone stronger than themselves, they would choose to hide.
The main targets of He Yuan were women, especially those with weak strength; they mainly sought to vent their desires.
Now that they were targeted, they would naturally experience unimaginable torture.
But Xiao Yan also saw the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps lackeys who had been chasing them, and his heart was filled with horror.
“Holy cow…
Teacher, are He Yuan interested in men too?”
“Uh…”
Yao Lao was silent.
This was also his first time seeing He Yuan venting on men, and it seemed they were quite comfortable…
Suddenly, Yao Lao’s pupils shrank because he actually saw the Amethyst Winged Lion King, who had already transformed into a human.
He immediately pushed Xiao Yan’s head down and at the same time attached his soul power around Xiao Yan’s body to prevent him from being discovered by the Amethyst Winged Lion King.
He spoke in a deep voice: “So that’s how it is.
In all my years, I have never heard of magical beasts being interested in men.
“Amethyst Winged Lion King?” Xiao Yan’s heart skipped a beat.
Hearing this name, he almost fell to the ground.
That was a sixth-rank magical beast that even a Dou Huang would fear.
“I just didn’t expect the Amethyst Winged Lion King to have obtained such a great opportunity as to get a seventh-rank Transformation Pill!”
“Transformation Pill…”
Xiao Yan cautiously poked his head out from behind the tree, his eyes filled with shock.
“That’s right.
A Transformation Pill might be useless to humans, but for magical beasts, it is a true treasure.
Any beast that swallows it can completely shed its beast body and at the same time possess a long lifespan and the heaven-defying cultivation talent of a human!”
Yao Lao’s expression was solemn.
He didn’t understand.
Not long ago, the Amethyst Winged Lion King was unable to advance, so why in the few days it was gone did it transform into a human, and its level seemed to have increased?
What exactly had happened during that time?
After watching for a while, Yao Lao took Xiao Yan away from there.
This place was too dangerous; a slight mistake could result in death on the spot.
It was better to leave as soon as possible.
This “battle” lasted until deep in the night.
He Meng and the others had already died on the spot, while Madam Lan was still alive, but she was motionless, like a controlled puppet, at the mercy of others.
Her voice was hoarse, unable to make a sound.
Jiang Cheng also walked out of the peach forest.
Looking at the scarred battlefield, he couldn’t help but sigh at the He Yuan’s stamina; they hadn’t stopped from morning to night.
It was truly nauseating.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King walked over and said respectfully: “Master, you are here.”
Jiang Cheng nodded, “That’s enough.
Torturing people like this is against the way of heaven.
Just kill them.”
The Amethyst Winged Lion King nodded heavily.
Since the Master said so, how could he continue to torture these guys?
He sent the still-charging He Yuan flying with a palm and grabbed Madam Lan, who was dying and covered in strange things. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
“The Master grants you death, aren’t you going to be grateful?!”
Madam Lan cast a grateful look, then silently shed a tear.
Her body finally gave out, and she breathed her last.
Jiang Cheng ignored her and slowly turned around.
Looking at the destroyed peach trees, he shook his head.
If a mistake was made, there must be a penalty!
Regardless of gender, if the rules were violated, even if a powerhouse from the Central Plains came, they would face punishment.
The He Yuan also calmed down, picking up the corpses on the ground and stuffing them into their mouths—eating after playing, truly notorious He Yuan.
The Amethyst Winged Lion King didn’t bother to deal with this matter; the laziness of felines was hereditary.
He stretched and then arranged the three fifth-rank magical beasts near the peach forest.
If any human attacked even a blade of grass here, they were to be killed immediately!
Returning to the Huai Water Bamboo Pavilion.
Jiang Cheng reclined on a rocking chair, holding a book in his left hand and resting his chin on his right.
Xiao Yixian had specially washed some fruit for him; life was very pleasant.
“Sir, there is something I want to ask you to help with.”
Jiang Cheng glanced at the timid Xiao Yixian and said: “What is it?”
“The Wolf Head Mercenary Corps has been chasing me for a long time because I have a key in my hand that can open a bronze chest.
I want to find that chest…”
Xiao Yixian lowered her head shyly, biting her alluring lower lip.
Jiang Cheng laughed: “Xiao Yixian, do you know the price of asking me to take action?”
With his strength, even a Dou Zun powerhouse could not move him, yet Xiao Yixian wanted him to accompany her to find that chest.
Furthermore, if there was something good inside, it would be one thing, but it was just a High Mysterious Class cultivation method, completely useless to him.
He had plenty of methods of that level.
He just didn’t want to take them out.
Xiao Yixian didn’t know the Master’s strength, but she was still interested in exploration.
That day in the cave, they found the Seven-Colored Poison Manual and the High Mysterious Class Flying Dou Skill, so there must be good things in that chest as well.
“Whatever the Master wants, Xiao Yixian can give it to you.”
“Oh?” Jiang Cheng sat up, looking at the shy Xiao Yixian.
He rubbed his chin and said: “In this tiny Northwest Continent, no one can say they can move me, but seeing your sincerity, I will accompany you for a trip.”
“It’s also a good time to wipe out the Wolf Head Mercenary Corps, otherwise, if they find out He Meng died here, they will definitely come back to cause trouble.”
As the saying goes, once an enemy is made, never leave the root of the trouble, or the one with the headache will always be yourself.
