Eternal Beast Taming Family

The vast and boundless radiance of the bright moon filled the entire sky, rivaling the bold and colorful ink paintings in the heavens.

"Go to war? As a buffer zone, the Moonlit Forest is probably not in a position to say such a thing."

Thick watercolors gathered, and the figure of the Huo family patriarch solidified in mid-air, the disdainful voice emanating from his mouth.

Once a Spirit-Rank Source Beast truly awakens its spiritual intelligence, it can begin to speak human language once it reaches the Domain Rank.

The moonlight surrounding the source beast in the bright moonlight shattered, transforming into thousands of moonlight beams that rose in the Moonlit Forest. Within those thousands of beams, different feathers seemed to float and sink.

The source beast then fully revealed its appearance: a slender neck, long, thin feathers, and a pure white body, with exceptionally long tail feathers fluttering behind it.

"Human, you are far too arrogant."

You can't read the facial expression of a Source Beast, but the anger in its words seems to have solidified into a tangible form.

The celestial feather, passing through the beam of light that pierced through heaven and earth, shot straight up into the sky, like thousands of spiritual swords, covering the entire sky and piercing towards the lower-ranking members of the aristocratic families in the forest.

The Huo family patriarch raised his palm, and the rich colors of ink in the ink painting cascaded down from the edge of the moonlight and the canvas like a waterfall.

The feathers that pricked the wings, upon touching the paint, were instantly soaked in the same ink.

In the eyes of the Huo family patriarch, these low-level contract masters could die, but not now.

"Moon Feathered Bird, are you really content to stay in this Moonfall Forest for a hundred years? Today, you are not my target. Get out of my way, or I will use my full strength."

Behind the Huo family patriarch, a huge scroll slowly unfurled, its colors blending together as if all the ink covering the entire sky had been poured out of the scroll.

Upon hearing the words of the Huo family patriarch, a hint of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the "Moon Feathered Bird." It truly did not want to fight the Huo family patriarch, after all, this old fellow was a rank higher than it.

Moreover, he still has a second source beast that he hasn't summoned yet. Even if he isn't necessarily killed, it's foreseeable that he will be seriously injured.

As the Huo family patriarch said, it has no race to protect and has always been a lone wolf. It does not necessarily have to guard the Shenyue Forest.

With that thought, it gently spread its wings, and the moonbeams scattered throughout the forest were retrieved by it, while the wings that were about to be born gradually disappeared.

"Passing through here is not impossible, but you'll have to leave some toll, won't you?"

Before reaching their true destination, the Huo family patriarch did not want to expend too much strength. He gently raised his hand, and a fruit gleaming with moonlight appeared in his palm.

Then he gently raised his hand, and the fruit flew from the air toward the "Moonlight Feather Bird". The "Moonlight Feather Bird" stared at the fruit for a long time before slowly nodding.

It condensed several moon feathers to lift the fruit and carried it back into a certain place in the forest.

As it descended, the bright moonlight gradually faded, as if the moon had sunk into the forest, which may be the true origin of the forest's name.

The figure of the Huo family patriarch once again flew into the ink in the sky, and the ink that was cascading down like a waterfall at the front slowly flowed back.

The original voice then rang out, "Keep moving forward."

Chu Jingyu clenched his fist, causing the "Golden Armored Jade-Eyed Beast" that had just appeared in front of him to hide back underground.

The Moonlit Forest was not even the destination the Huo family wanted to reach. The places that were even more distant than the Moonlit Forest were probably easier to get to than to return to.

Moreover, the Huo family patriarch didn't seem to need so many low-level helpers, so why did he issue an order to summon these low-level contract masters? Chu Jingyu couldn't understand it at all.

The journey continued peacefully until night fell and the bright moon hung in the sky.

The many contract masters who had been traveling were finally allowed to rest.

Chu Jingyu simply took out some food from his jade pendant and shared some with Xu Yinghui and another old man before finding a giant tree and jumping onto its branches to rest.

But at night, things are never as peaceful as during the day.

Not long after nightfall, a commotion broke out not far from Chu Jingyu, followed by clashes of skills, explosions, and screams.

Hearing the piercing screams, Chu Jingyu realized that people were starting to die.

It's unclear whether it's man-made or a hidden source beast, but with so many humans gathered together, including many high-level ones, would any source beast really dare to approach and attack them?

Just as Chu Jingyu was considering, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing from behind, followed by a sound of metal clashing against metal.

Chu Jingyu reacted quickly, pulling out his cleaver from the jade pendant and slashing it behind him.

"Zheng"

A sharp sound of metal clashing against metal rang out, and out of the corner of Chu Jingyu's eye, he saw a blurry figure disappear into the darkness once again.

But above the blurry figure's head, Chu Jingyu saw a conspicuous strand of ink, indicating that the humans themselves were causing trouble.

Chu Jingyu glanced around and found that the attacking figure had completely disappeared. Chu Jingyu guessed that the person's source beast must have some kind of skill that could make people invisible.

Chu Jingyu's mind stirred, and he and the "Golden Armored Jade-Eyed Beast" leaped to the ground. Then, the "Heart of the Buried Earth" was fully activated by the "Golden Armored Jade-Eyed Beast."

The golden armor on the man and the beast was further coated by the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" to prevent the man from launching another sudden attack.

Hearing the commotion, Xu Yinghui and another old man, who were not far away, were awakened from their daze. Seeing Chu Jingyu's serious demeanor, they immediately became vigilant along with the source beast beside them, looking around anxiously.

"Master, was it an attack by a Source Beast?"

Chu Jingyu did not answer Xu Yinghui's question. Instead, he looked sharply in Xu Yinghui's direction, and with a fierce flick of his wrist, the blade spun through the air and slashed towards Xu Yinghui's position.

Xu Yinghui's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected Chu Jingyu to suddenly attack him. The "Flying Feather Crane" beside him did indeed raise its wings first, and several feather blades shot out from its wings.

However, the feather blade did not collide with the blade thrown by Chu Jingyu. Instead, it was blocked by a man who suddenly appeared in the air halfway through the process.

The man dressed in black, wielding short blades in both hands, deflected both attacks, one from the front and one from the back, but his mind was far from calm.

He glanced at "Flying Crane" in disbelief, then looked back at Chu Jingyu, seemingly not quite understanding why he had exposed his figure twice tonight.

The man in black took a step back, his figure fading into the darkness once more.

But this time, he had only disappeared for a short while when, with a 'thud,' he reappeared, lying directly on the ground.

Where he stood, a golden source beast crawled out from the ground, and two large holes pierced by pincers were exposed on the black-clad man's legs.

The man in black, oblivious to his shock, watched as a dark raven flew into the air beside him, releasing a cloud of mist from its body in all directions.

However, the fog had only spread halfway when a large cloud of golden sand rose from the ground and rushed into the black fog, instantly turning the dark crows within into sieves.

The source beast died, and the black-clad man, who had fallen to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, which he did not have time to wipe away.

Suddenly, the ink-colored threads floating above his head fell down towards him, and in an instant, under Chu Jingyu's gaze, he turned into a blob of ink and was summoned away by the canvas in the sky.

Chu Jingyu let out a soft breath. He hadn't even had a chance to ask the man for any information before he realized that with the death of the source beast, the Cai Mo Si would also directly eliminate the contract master, as if afraid of missing something.

Chu Jingyu looked up at the colorful ink-like hair above his head and let out a soft breath.

"Master, this is..."
