Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 661 The Immortal Lord Arrives
"Master, did you bring any money? Shall we try another round?"

With her master backing her up, Wu Lingxi was itching to get her hands dirty again.

"What are you playing?"

Lin Jing glanced at her and said, "Ten out of ten bets are scams. Why does this gambling den only allow you to buy their fighting beasts for betting? Can't you figure it out?"

"This Crimson Moon Gambling House truly has a master beast tamer in charge..."

Wu Lingxi remained silent. She had thought that beast fighting was a fairly fair sport, but after hearing Lin Jing's words, she immediately realized: "Could it be that there are other factors involved...?"

“Hmm.” Lin Jing said, “These fighting beasts may seem ordinary, and you can take them back and raise them yourself, but when the casino raises them, it has already imprinted them with an unchangeable bloodline mark. The casino can control how they perform in battle much better than you gamblers.”

She immediately became indignant: "It's a shady deal! My money! No way, I'm going to confront them!"

Lin Jing stopped her: "Forget it. At least I didn't find any shady dealings in the games you lost. You're just too incompetent. It shouldn't have reached the point where the casino would resort to underhanded tactics."

Wu Lingxi: ? ? ?

"This place is too small and unregulated. Come with me, and I'll take you to a more regulated place in the Immortal Realm for beast fighting in the future!"

"Alright... Master."

After accepting this disciple, Lin Jing smiled slightly. Although the other party did not seem very smart, and his wisdom was comparable to that of a demon emperor, his aptitude was indeed good. With a little training, it was not impossible for him to become a powerful figure.

His third body is barely adequate for small places, but it's not suitable for large occasions. It would be much easier for his apprentice to do some things for him in the future.

Most importantly, the other party might be the key to unlocking the legacy of the Wu family ancestors.

…………

After finding Wu Lingxi, Lin Jing took her on a cloud-riding journey towards the Invincible Sect.

However, Lin Jing had only been out for a few days when he approached the Invincible Sect again and vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

His divine sense was exceptionally strong, and he could sense from afar that a powerful pressure was enveloping the area from the direction of the Invincible Sect's mountain gate, which made him realize that something was wrong.

This aura is definitely hostile.

"Lingxi." Lin Jing called out to his disciple. Wu Lingxi, who was standing beside him, looked blank and asked, "What's wrong, Master?"

"Does your Invincible Sect, or more precisely, your Wu family, have any enemies?"

Wu Lingxi was taken aback and asked, "Yes, has something happened, Master?"

“A strange immortal lord has descended upon your Invincible Sect’s territory, seemingly an enemy rather than a friend.”

"Is this really true?" Wu Lingxi immediately became serious: "...My Wu family was not originally located in the ancestral land, but developed in another immortal city. In that immortal city, there were two major families, and my Wu family was one of them. The two families were opposed to each other and could not tolerate each other..."

Later, due to an accident, my Wu family's ancestor, the Immortal Lord, died, and the family fell into ruin. Their assets were swallowed up by the other side. To protect ourselves, we withdrew from the Immortal City and returned to our ancestral land to develop our business.

“We’ve already retreated to such a barren place, surely the Zhang family isn’t going to try and wipe us out completely.”

Lin Jing sighed. Great fortune indeed comes with great karma. It seems that it won't be so easy for him to swallow the mysterious fortune left by the Wu family's ancestors peacefully.

"Fine, since you're after your Wu family's inheritance, I'll accept the consequences."

After making up his mind, he said to Wu Lingxi, "Let's go and see who is causing trouble in my Invincible Sect while I, the vice sect master, am away."

"Huh?" Wu Lingxi was taken aback. Wait, Master, didn't you say that the other party was a Celestial Lord?!

We are only pretending to be invincible; the Immortal Lord is the truly invincible one.

The Invincible Sect.

Within a month, the Invincible Sect suffered two major setbacks.

One incident involved Lin Jing inexplicably appearing within the sect, but fortunately, the crisis was averted.

The second time is the current attack by the immortal lord.

“Zhang Tianlong, the patriarch of the Zhang family.” Sect Master Wu and the others recognized the old man; he was the patriarch of the Zhang family, the mortal enemy of the Wu family.

Clearly, with another immortal lord as a witness, the two families have declared that they will have no further connection...

Why would the other party come looking for us again?
The protective formation built by the generations of the Invincible Sect couldn't stop Lin Jing, so naturally it couldn't stop Zhang Tianlong either. "Senior, the grudges between our two families have been settled. What is the meaning of this?"

Faced with Zhang Tianlong's domineering invasion of the Invincible Sect, yet his indifferent aloofness, Sect Master Wu, sweating profusely, questioned him. Though burning with anger, he was restrained and dared not speak more vehemently.

"Who do you think you are, to dare to question me?"

With the mediation of another immortal lord, an old friend of the Wu family patriarch, the Wu family, having lost the struggle, withdrew from the immortal city, and all their assets were transferred to the Zhang family. However, the Zhang family was not allowed to completely wipe them out.

In order to acquire these industries smoothly, and given that the remnants of the Wu family were no longer a threat, the Zhang family had originally agreed.

However, now that the immortal lord has also died unexpectedly, the Zhang family has no more worries. To deal with enemies, it is natural to eliminate them completely. Otherwise, who knows if the Wu family might rise again one day.

"you……"

"Enough with the nonsense. I've heard that your Wu family has produced a Celestial Eye Physique. Where is that Celestial Eye Physique person?" The Wu family is currently beyond saving. Zhang Tianlong hasn't made a move yet because he knows that the Wu family has produced a Celestial Eye Physique person. This Celestial Eye Physique is a valuable item, capable of killing and taking eyesight, and has many uses. However, it seems that it is not within the sect.

We need to find out where the Celestial Eye is first.

"He came for the Eye of the Immortal. Let's see if we can contact Brother Lin Qi and have him take Ling Xi and flee far away." The three sect leaders communicated telepathically, but the next moment, their expressions froze, and they realized something was wrong, because far away... the Immortal Eye that the other party was looking for was immediately brought back by Lin Jing.

Above the clouds, Lin Jing and his disciples looked at Zhang Tianlong, who was standing above the Invincible Sect, with expressionless faces.

"Oh? You're back. Looks like we can make our move now." Zhang Tianlong didn't pay any attention to Lin Jing beside him. After all, he was just a True Immortal, not on the same level as a Celestial Lord.

"The third level of Immortal Lord..." The third incarnation sighed again, "This is really troublesome."

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you should quickly take Lingxi and flee far away. The three of us will stop this old codger for you!" Sect Master Wu's eyes reddened, intending to preserve some of the Wu family's bloodline. Lin Jing's spatial mastery was astonishing, and he might still have a chance to escape.

However, at this moment, Lin Jing shook his head.

"Although I don't know what happened, old man, I'll give you a chance. Leave now, and I won't kill you," Lin Jing said to Zhang Tianlong.

"How dare an ant speak so arrogantly?" Zhang Tianlong's expression turned cold, and his cold snort transformed into a powerful aura that swept towards Lin Jing. Upon seeing this, Wu Lingxi, who was behind Lin Jing, instantly turned pale.

"This is troublesome." The third body was in a real bind. He didn't want to cause trouble, but somehow the trouble just came knocking on his door.

To be honest, it would be difficult for an immortal to match him on his own.

This body's cultivation level is too low, and it has too few trump cards.

but.

With a mournful cry, the next instant, an even more terrifying Immortal Lord's might spread, instantly crushing Zhang Tianlong's power. Space shattered, and a huge immortal bird burst forth.

"A beast of the Immortal Lord, the Immortal Bird?!" Upon seeing this, the group's expressions changed.

Lin Jing came to the Immortal Realm with full preparations. The artifact he brought out this time was the top-grade immortal artifact he obtained from the Heavenly Emperor's Tomb, the Feather Crown. It was a magical treasure woven from the feathers of the immortal kings of the Phoenix Clan throughout the ages. When worn by the bird race, it could command hundreds of birds.

By asking the Dao, one can command the birds of true immortals; in the fairyland, one can even command the immortal bird clan.

This magical artifact was originally given to the Immortal Crane, but unfortunately, it was useless in the mortal realm, where there were no birds to ride, so it was borrowed from the Immortal Crane.

The third body inherited some of the abilities and bloodline of the Immortal Crane, and could naturally activate the bird clan genes, thus barely being able to use the Feather King Crown.

This Celestial Bird is the strongest celestial bird that can be sensed and summoned along the way through the forest.

Bang! ! !
The Celestial Bird, a seventh-level Celestial Lord and a late-stage Celestial Lord, killed Zhang Tianlong with a single swipe of its claws, and then slowly landed in front of the forest.

This scene left everyone speechless as they stared at Lin Jing.

"Fellow Daoist Lin...you..."

"Master, you, you..."

However, only Lin Jing, who remained silent, knew that the matter was not over yet.

Although the Celestial Lord has been dealt with, the Celestial Lord's beast is unlikely to be wild. Even though I forcibly bewitched it with a high-grade immortal artifact, there will probably still be trouble afterward. Therefore, the Feather Crown is not very useful.

"I already told you I didn't want to kill you." Lin Jing stared at Zhang Tianlong's corpse, then at the Immortal Bird that was looking at him with respect, and felt a headache coming on. Could this thing have some kind of Immortal King behind it?
