The Master of Beasts

Chapter 490 - 105

As Luo Yi and Luo Xin arrived at the Jade Flood Dragon Secret Realm, they immediately encountered black-clothed assailants guarding the entranceway.

"Who goes there?"

"Disciples of the Five Elements Sect. Kill them."

Luo Yi frowned at the Magic confronting them. With a light wave of his hand, a pure white mist instantaneously engulfed everything before them. When the mist cleared, the black-clothed assailants were already on the ground, unable to rise.

"They’ve even guarded the entrance. It seems these guys plan to leave no one alive!" Luo Xin said gravely.

"Within the True Immortal Realm, what is there to fear when you and I join forces, brother!" Luo Yi snorted coldly.

Luo Xin shook his head. "Although I hate to admit it, Tian Yue’s strength isn’t much less than either of us individually. Yet, the situation has deteriorated to this point; I’m afraid the enemy will be difficult to handle."

"Hmph, then let’s fight first and talk later," Luo Yi said, somewhat dissatisfied.

"Let’s find Tian Yue first." Luo Xin took out an Eight Diagrams Plate, on which a bright spot was flickering.

「Temporary Courtyard」

Tian Yue was still painstakingly trying to persuade the two to help. Seeing them shake their heads in unison once more, he felt his qi and blood rush to his head.

If it weren’t for my severe injuries, if it weren’t for being in the Jade Flood Dragon Secret Realm, if it weren’t for those damn black-clothed assailants!

"What will it take for you to act!" Tian Yue said angrily.

Jia Ke spread his hands. "Firstly, our strength is too weak. Besides, while the benefits you promised, Senior Brother, are tempting, one has to be alive to enjoy them!"

"I can give them to your clan if you die," Tian Yue said grumpily.

"That won’t do either! I refuse to do such a thing, toiling for someone else’s benefit!" Jia Ke retorted.

Chen Jiuge nodded frantically from the side. That’s right! Even someone at the True Immortal Seventeenth Layer Heaven wouldn’t dare, let alone an insignificant Triple Heaven practitioner like me!

"How about I use a Spiritual Beast to help you, Senior Brother?" Chen Jiuge suggested, pulling out a True Monarch Level Spiritual Beast.

Tian Yue glanced at it disdainfully and finally sighed. "Alright."

"Senior Brother, cultivating a Spiritual Beast requires quite a lot of resources," Chen Jiuge said cautiously.

Tian Yue tossed him a Storage Bag. "As if I’d take advantage of you."

Chen Jiuge opened the Storage Bag. The first thing he saw was a mountain-like pile of Five Elements Spiritual Beads. This was followed by small hills of Houtu Spirit Crystals and a vast array of rare Spiritual Medicines.

"Thank you, Senior Brother! I’ll go cultivate the Spiritual Beast now," Chen Jiuge said and dashed to the back courtyard.

Jia Ke opened his mouth, looking unsatisfied as Chen Jiuge disappeared. "So disloyal."

Tian Yue watched Jia Ke with a meaningful smile, sending a shiver down Jia Ke’s spine.

Fine, fine. This is going to cost me a fortune, Jia Ke thought, grudgingly taking out ten or so Puppets.

"Puppet Sect’s True Immortal Puppets?" Tian Yue exclaimed in surprise.

Jia Ke didn’t respond and began casting a Spell. The ten or so Puppets came to life under Jia Ke’s manipulation.

"Senior Brother, I must state upfront, without close-range operation, these Puppets have strength equivalent to a True Immortal of the Seventh Layer Heaven at most."

"Heh, very good, very good. Don’t worry, any losses will be compensated after we get out," Tian Yue said with satisfaction.

Like wild oxen, the ten or so Puppets charged out of the courtyard, scattering in all directions. These quality Puppets from the Puppet Sect only needed commands inputted to carry out tasks.

When necessary, Divine Sense could even be projected from afar for more precise manipulation. The only drawbacks were their high manufacturing cost and significant energy consumption.

After carefully setting up a few Array Plates, Chen Jiuge left a message saying, "I need to focus on cultivating the Spiritual Beast," and then vanished from sight.

Over the ensuing period, the Array would occasionally release a few Spiritual Beasts. Although these Spiritual Beasts only had the strength of True Monarchs or Pure Yang True Monarchs, they were sufficient to scout the whereabouts of the Five Elements Sect disciples.

As for rescuing the Five Elements Sect disciples, that would rely on Jia Ke’s Puppets.

Thanks to their cooperation, within a mere ten days, three more disciples from the Five Elements Sect were brought to the courtyard. All of them were in terrible shape, critically injured and on the brink of death.

Meanwhile, Luo Yi and Luo Xin encountered trouble.

As soon as they entered the Secret Realm, they killed the gatekeeping black-clothed assailants and nonchalantly followed the Compass’s direction towards Tian Yue.

The overconfident pair fell into an encirclement of black-clothed assailants.

Nearly a hundred black-clothed assailants formed a peculiar Great Array, trapping the pair tightly. These assailants only possessed power around the True Immortal Tenth Layer Heaven. However, the strength of the Great Array was enough to trap two masters on the verge of breaking through to the Heavenly Immortal realm, which was truly terrifying.

Golden Flying Swords shot out from within the Great Array with seemingly invincible might, yet they only caused an insignificant ripple on its edge.

The leader of the black-clothed assailants below sneered, "Don’t struggle. The Eight Gates Locking Heaven Formation may not have offensive power, but even a Heavenly Immortal might not be able to breach its defenses."

Luo Xin said, exasperated, "If you have any guts, deactivate the Array and fight us! I alone could wipe out your entire group!"

The black-clothed assailants let out an inscrutable laugh and then ignored the fuming Luo Xin.

Luo Yi’s expression was also grim. They had come to provide support, yet they were trapped before they could save anyone.

The black-clothed assailants sat cross-legged on the Great Array’s focal points, looking unhurried. They clearly had abundant manpower, which spelled trouble.

Old Jade Flood Dragon looked around at the dense crowd of black-clothed assailants, his wily face showing a hint of impatience.

"When did the Jade Flood Dragon Secret Realm begin permitting so many people to enter at once?"

The black-clothed assailants did not respond. Instead, they silently drew their Magic Artifacts and unleashed their most powerful Magic Technique, relentlessly bombarding Old Jade Flood Dragon.
