Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 98: Changes in the Immortal Palace!

At this time, the red year has passed and spring has arrived.

The streets should be bustling and prosperous.

But after entering Beiliang City, Gu Yuan quickly realized that the atmosphere in the city was not right.

There were few pedestrians on the streets, and most of them did not look happy, some even looked sad and a little panicked.

He knew something must have happened.

Gu Yuan simply went straight to Yuding Tower. When he arrived at the second floor of Yuding Tower, he did not see Old Man Chen.

Gu Yuan arrived at the other end of the second floor to deliver the task. Under Yang Han's somewhat surprised gaze, Gu Yuan briefly recounted the mission.

Of course, he did not tell the truth. He just said that the disappearance of those people was indeed related to the Qian Mansion, and in addition to the Qian Mansion, the Qingzhu Gang was also involved.

However, he was just a martial artist and did not dare to investigate too much for fear of bringing about fatal disaster.

Yang Han didn't find it strange. Since it involved the Qian Mansion and the Qingzhu Gang, it was indeed not something that a mere Gu Yuan could be involved in.

He was already very surprised that Gu Yuan could investigate these things.

After completing the task, Gu Yuan went to the first floor and asked a few acquaintances for information and what had happened recently.

Then, Gu Yuan learned a piece of news.

In recent days, many wild beasts have come down the mountain from Beiliang City and even some surrounding counties, attacking the villages and towns at the foot of the mountain like crazy.

Many innocent mountain people, hunters, and passers-by have died.

It would be fine if they were just wild beasts, but there are even traces of monsters among the beasts, which even a martial artist would find difficult to deal with.

Anyone who is called a "demon" has broken free from the shackles of ordinary beasts, has improved his intelligence, is quite powerful, and has even awakened his magic. He cannot be dealt with by anyone other than a congenital martial artist.

Many martial artists who were tasked with encircling and suppressing wild beasts died tragically at the mouths of monsters because of lack of precautions.

This naturally caused huge losses and panic!
To this day, this incident has caused panic among the people. Not only have the merchants been affected, but even the daily travel, work and even eating of many ordinary people have become difficult.

"The beast is coming down the mountain?!"

Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat. He asked again and again, and finally he breathed a sigh of relief when he learned that the villages attacked by wild beasts did not include Gujia Village.

At the same time, the image of the fairy palace deep in the Yunmeng Mountains immediately appeared in his mind.

Perhaps the only thing that could cause such turmoil in Yunmeng Mountain is the Red Dragon Fairy Palace!
Afterwards, Gu Yuan had no intention of staying in Yuding Tower.

After leaving Beiliang City, he went straight to Gujia Village.

With Gu Yuan's speed, he arrived at Gujia Village in less than half an hour.

It was just noon now, and from far outside the village, wisps of smoke could be seen rising.

Gu Yuan was certain in his heart that nothing serious was going to happen.

When he returned to his yard, his father and mother were having dinner.

Father Gu kept silent and just ate his rice.

Mother Gu was mumbling to the side with a bad look on her face:

"Alright! Now that your family is rich, you've become more cunning, right? You even dare to mess with Widow Dong from the east end of the village."

"You old fool, you have no shame at all, even at your age!"

Father Gu couldn't help but retort, "What are you thinking, old woman! I just lent some food to the Dong family's sister, and you've said this. If this gets out, won't you get a bad reputation?"

Mother Gu sneered, "Borrow food? Why doesn't she borrow from others, but only from you? It's because you, an old thing, are greedy for my body!"

"Also, what kind of good person would keep throwing himself into a man's arms when he wants to borrow food? Looking at you, you seem to be showing some sympathy for women, right?"

"I know this Widow Dong. She cries as soon as she wipes her nose. She looks so pitiful. Don't you men like this kind of tone?"

"What are you thinking? I'm really borrowing food..."

Father Gu's face turned red and he tried to explain with a grunt, but he was tongue-tied and could not win over Mother Gu.

After a while, he gave up and stopped arguing, eating listlessly.

"Huh, aren't you right? Why don't you say anything?"

"Did I hit the nail on the head? Let me tell you, it's not easy for our Ayuan to learn martial arts in the city. If you, old man, hold Ayuan back and bring discredit upon him, I will break your legs even if it costs me my life!"

When Gu Yuan saw that the two still had time to quarrel, he knew that they were probably fine.

After just one listen, his expression became a little strange.

I can’t believe that my father, although he is old, has a young heart.

However, based on his understanding of his father, he was sure that Father Gu had not done anything excessive. It was probably his mother who took the opportunity to show off her status and suppress some of his father's little thoughts.

"Ahem! Dad, Mom, I'm back!"

He deliberately shouted loudly so that the two elders would be prepared and avoid embarrassment for everyone.

Hearing Gu Yuan's voice, Gu's mother immediately fell silent, then pushed the door open and came out as if nothing had happened.

Seeing Gu Yuan, she smiled and said, "My son is back. Have you eaten yet? Mother made you something delicious."

"No need, mother. Hurry up and pack your things. I'm coming here to take you to the city."

Gu Yuan talked about his purpose and explained that there had been many recent incidents of wild beasts coming down the mountain to attack people.

This time, the two elders did not refuse and said that they would follow Gu Yuan's arrangements.

They had also heard of wild animals attacking people, and such incidents had even occurred in several nearby villages, where people had been killed by wild animals such as bears and wolves that had come down from the mountains.

The old couple also knew that Gu Yuan was worried about their safety.

So even though it was hard to leave their hometown, in order to avoid dragging Gu Yuan down, the two left without hesitation. When the old couple was packing up, Gu Yuan seemed to remember something and asked again:
"By the way, mother, where are Sun Zhong and his mother? Why not call them along as well?"

Gu Yuan had no friendship with the others, nor did he have a good impression of them, but he was impressed by Sun Zhong.

Saving two more people is just a piece of cake for him and nothing in particular.

But Gu Yuan was shocked by his mother's answer:
"Sun Zhong is a very lucky child. A few days ago, a god descended from the sky and said that Sun Zhong and he were destined to be together. He wanted to take Sun Zhong as his disciple, and then took him and his mother away."

Descend from the sky and accept Sun Zhong as his disciple?

Gu Yuan was stunned.

He naturally knew that this was definitely not a god, but most likely a monk passing by.

However, since he is able to fly in the sky, to be able to do this, he must be at least a cultivator in the Heavenly Man Realm!

Sun Zhong was lucky enough to be noticed by such a being and accepted as his apprentice.

For Sun Zhong, who came from a poor mountain village, this was no less than a carp leaping over the dragon gate!
But it’s no wonder.

In fact, Gu Yuan has always suspected that Sun Zhong has a special physique or has some secret.

Because every time Ah Huang, Da Zui, and Ah Wu approached Sun Zhong, they felt somewhat uncomfortable and had a vague sense of fear.

This is obviously not normal!
It's just that he has too little experience and too low strength, so he finds it difficult to notice anything.

Now it seems that Sun Zhong's secret has been discovered by someone.

……

It didn't take long for Gu's father and mother to pack up their things, and Gu Yuan also rented a carriage from the city and came back.

After helping to load some small items onto the carriage and helping his parents get on, Gu Yuan sat in the front of the carriage, waving the whip, and drove away from Gujia Village under the complicated gazes of some people.

The carriage left the village and headed along the official road towards Beiliang City.

On the road, we did encounter some similar vehicles, but most of them were ox carts.

Most of them brought their families with them, and the whole family, young and old, followed along. It was obvious that they had sensed the danger just like Gu Yuan, so the whole family went into the city to avoid disaster.

Compared to the walls built with rocks and wood, a city like Beiliang City with high and thick walls is obviously safer, at least it can withstand the attacks of wild beasts!

However, there are only a few people who can make up their minds to leave home to avoid disaster. Most people are reluctant to leave their originally stable environment and their fields at home.

Step—step—step—

"Xu..."

On the road, the yellow horse was pulling the cart slowly. Gu Yuan suddenly looked up, pulled the reins to stop the horse, and looked ahead.

He had sharp hearing and had already heard the sounds of fighting coming from the front.

"Go ahead and take a look!"

Gu Yuan gave Ah Huang, who was hiding in the dark, a look, and Ah Huang immediately ran over.

……

"Quick! Kill them!"

"These beasts deserve to die!"

"Dad, be careful..."

A fight was going on on the roadside.

One wave is a group of martial artists holding swords and knives, while the other wave is a group of wolves!

A group of tall, agile and ferocious hungry wolves!
These wolves are quite large, and the smallest one is as big as a foal. They have sharp teeth and gray-yellow fur. They cooperate with each other tacitly and have bitten many people to death.

"kill!"

Zhou Zhong brandished a sharp axe and barely forced a wolf back, but he was already injured and many parts of his body were torn and bloody.

These wolves are extremely cunning and know very well the principle of retreating when the enemy advances and advancing when the enemy retreats.

When faced with a fierce attack, it retreats; when it finds the enemy is weak, it rushes forward and bites madly.

It's obvious that he wants to consume everyone's physical strength!

After all, human physical strength is not as good as those of wild beasts. Even though there are martial artists among them, they are just ordinary martial artists after all, and there is not even a martial artist at the Bone Refining Realm.

Once your physical strength is exhausted, facing these ferocious hungry wolves, the result can be imagined.

But he, they can't retreat!

Because they came with their families.

If they retreat, their parents, wives and children will suffer!

"Ah ah ah..."

Soon, screams were heard. A martial artist fell to the ground in defeat. He was surrounded by several hungry wolves, who tore off pieces of his flesh and blood. He howled in pain, and the scene was horrific.

Many people watched with their eyes bloodshot. Zhou Zhong also gritted his teeth and shouted:
"Cloak Axe!"

The sharp axe in his hand seemed to have gathered a huge force, and it suddenly chopped down, splitting the head of the hungry wolf in front of him.

But as soon as the wolf fell to the ground, two more wolves pounced on him.

"My life is over!"

Seeing this, Zhou Zhong, who was exhausted and seriously injured, sighed and was already a little desperate.
