Eternal Beast Taming Family

The news reached the county town early the next morning.

By the afternoon, several eighth-rank powerful families in the county town each sent a Spirit Rank Contract Master to leave their homes, cross the boundary, and disappear without a trace.

At the foot of Qixia Mountain, in Qixia Town, people come and go, and everywhere are villagers happily dragging their luggage.

However, at this moment, the six figures, their forms obscured by wide hoods, slowly rose from different directions of Qixia Mountain, with different source beasts appearing beside them.

There are two-headed giant birds with long feathers, elemental spirits wrapped in flames, giants three meters tall with flowing magma, and wolfhounds shrouded in black mist.

The six people stood at six different locations on the summit of Qixia Mountain, their powerful spiritual energy spreading out and locking onto everyone in the mountaintop courtyard.

Then, coldly, he uttered a single word: "Kill."

As soon as the command was given, the six spirit-level source beasts instantly unleashed their signature skills from different ranges, attacking the mansion atop the mountain.

Meteor showers, storm spikes, lava flows, and wolfhounds carrying immense force rushed into the courtyard of the Chu family mansion in an instant.

Before the attacks arrived, a golden figure rushed out from the location of the ancestral hall.

The land around the mountaintop collapsed instantly, then coalesced into patches of golden sand to meet the attacks coming from different directions.

At the same time, a colossal eagle spread its wings in the sky above the courtyard, and a storm of dark feather blades collided with the feather blades condensed by the bird-source beasts in the sky.

A glacier flowed out from the courtyard, covering the flowing lava and freezing it in just a moment.

After successfully repelling the first wave of attacks, Chu Jingyu hovered above the mansion, his gaze heavy as he looked at the six people clad in large cloaks.

"I wonder where my Chu family has offended you, that you would send so many Spirit-Rank Contract Masters to besiege my Chu family? If so, my Chu family is willing to use all our wealth to compensate you."

A clearly disguised voice rang out, "Today, the entire Chu family will be wiped out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a second Spirit-Rank Source Beast appeared beside the six of them, and another wave of Source Beast attacks came crashing down.

Chu Jingyu glanced back at the courtyard. The "Azure Ridge Cloud Eagle," a beast of superior rank, turned and descended, while the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" slammed its fist on the ground.

The entire Chu family mansion seemed to be illuminated by a golden light. In the ancestral hall, the floor tiles in front of the offering table were removed, revealing a spiral staircase leading downwards.

Members of the Chu family, including Chu Qinhui, Jiang Nian, Chu Shenghan, Chu Shengyuan, and Xu Yinyue, all appeared in the ancestral hall.

Chu Qinhui looked at his wife and children, pushed them to the entrance of the underground passage in front of the offering table, and disregarded etiquette, directly took the stone book from the offering table and put it into Jiang Nian's arms.

For some reason, two days ago, Chu Zu seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, and even though the Chu family was under attack, he did not react at all.

However, through some bloodline connection, they knew that Chu Zu was in good condition, so they did not have too much worry.

"Take good care of the source device; it's just as important as our children. Let's go."

As he urged them on, he arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall, intending to close the doors that were always open.

Realizing what he wanted to do, Jiang Nian let out a mournful cry, "Let's go together."

Chu Qinhui had already closed one of the palace doors. He stood outside the palace, half of his face hidden behind the door, and his emotions were not visible due to the backlight.

Only the voice was incredibly firm: "No, Father alone certainly can't withstand so many contract masters of the same level. I can heal them and buy them some time."

"Once you get to town, immediately contact the Treasure Pavilion to go to Thousand Spirit City to find Xiao Fan."

After he finished speaking, the other half of the palace door slowly closed under the push of the "Azure Wing Wolf Lord". As the door closed, a faint halo appeared over the entire house.

This is a protective shield, limited to the area of ​​this ancestral hall. It has two layers: one layer includes the courtyard, and the other layer is limited to the main hall.

He stepped out of the ancestral hall and saw the servants, somewhat flustered by the battle in the sky. He then saw the head steward, Zhang Heng, approaching from a distance, and commanded in a deep voice:

"Gather all the servants in the front courtyard of the ancestral hall. There is a protective barrier there that can withstand the aftershocks of the battle."

With Chu Qinhui's intervention, the head butler seemed to have found his pillar of support, and his expression instantly calmed down.

He immediately called to the other servants and quickly spread the news.

Chu Qinhui watched them go about their work. The "Ginseng Baby (Ginseng-Holding Boy)" appeared at his feet. He patted its head and looked up at the sky. "Go, help my father."

The "Ginseng Baby (Ginseng-Holding Child)" nodded with a serious expression, then nimbly leaped onto the roof of the house, arriving at the position closest to the battlefield.

At this moment, Chu Jingyu was indeed struggling to hold on. In just two minutes, the golden jade armor on him and the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" had been shattered, and deep, bone-revealing injuries had appeared on their bodies.

Six petals of the "Ultimate Ice Lotus" in Chu Jingyu's hand remained, while the other eighteen petals had long been condensed and protected above. Otherwise, the man and the two source beasts would probably have been killed instantly.

It's a miracle that the three of them were able to hold on for so long without collapsing when all twelve source beasts attacked at the same time.

The "Ginseng Doll" revealed a hint of anxiety in its eyes. It clasped its hands together, and emerald green light appeared in front of it, then transformed into a thin stream of water that flowed into the bodies of the man and the two beasts.

In just a moment, the weakened aura of the three people was restored to its former strength, and the lotus petals on the body of the "Ultimate Ice Lotus" were instantly regenerated.

"Huh?"

The "Ginseng Doll's" performance elicited soft gasps from the six attackers.

Clearly, it was just a source beast of a different rank, yet it was able to do this much. Even they, as spirit-rank contract masters, had never seen anything like it.

"The source beast of that little baby will be of immense value, whether kept for research or sold on the black market."

The others had no objection to one person's decision, except one of them urged:

"We need to act quickly. If the news gets to the county seat, we won't be able to escape."

After saying this, the twelve source beasts surrounding the six people launched an even more ferocious attack.

The aftershocks of the skill struck the Chu family mansion below. The mansion, which was covered in golden light, could not withstand the force and either collapsed into pieces, or was burned to ashes, or even formed a huge crater.

As the main recipient of the attack, Chu Jingyu fared even worse. The protective shield formed by the "Ultimate Ice Lotus" only lasted for ten breaths before shattering under the relentless onslaught.

The "Azure Ridge Cloud Eagle" brought the "Illusory Light Mica" from the back mountain to the battlefield at the summit. As source beasts of a different rank, they did not participate in the main battle.

Instead, it released a light mist that completely enveloped the mountaintop, without creating various illusions through complex light and shadow, which did cause considerable interference to the attacks of the spirit-level source beasts.

Chu Jingyu, clutching his newly injured waist, was finally able to land on the ground and catch his breath.

Seeing Chu Qinhui quietly approach him, Chu Jingyu's expression turned grave. "Xiao Yuan and the others are gone?"

Seeing Chu Qinhui nod, Chu Jingyu's expression relaxed somewhat, and he smiled helplessly.

"My Chu family was developing smoothly, but I never expected to suffer this calamity. Perhaps even the heavens could not bear to see it. It is fate."
