Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"Calm down?! Defeat?!"

Mu Yongxian laughed in anger, his gaze turning icy as he looked at Qingzhu Zhenren.

"Your disciple killed my beloved student without cause. Even if your Purple Rainbow Sect is powerful and influential, it would be inappropriate not to give an explanation, wouldn't it?"

Mu Yongxian spoke coldly, and with a wave of his sleeve, a long rainbow streaked across the sky, eventually transforming into a terrifying beast that enveloped the heavens, its peak Golden Core power suppressing the entire area.

It was the Black Wind Spirit Dragon.

In an instant, the atmosphere became tense, and everyone's eyes were focused on this.

Mo Pengchen frowned, raised his leg as if to say something, but was given a wink by Lu Ruikai beside him, so he silently retreated and chose to observe.

"No enmity or grudge?" Master Qingzhu smiled gently, his face calm, and turned to ask Meng Wu'an in a low voice.

"Disciple, tell him why you killed Yang Chengxu."

"Alright," Meng Wu'an said calmly, neither humble nor arrogant, taking a small step forward.

"I was doing fine inside the secret realm, but Yang Chengxu attacked first. I tolerated him at every turn, but Yang Chengxu took advantage of the situation and even used Yang Mengying's matter to provoke me."

"Junior Sister Yang is a disciple of our sect who has done a great favor for her. I believe that with Peak Master Mu's abilities, investigating this matter would be an easy task. As for Junior Sister Mengying, although she is Yang Chengxu's half-sister, she was murdered by him."

A look of reminiscence appeared on Meng Wu'an's face, mixed with a flash of resentment, as he continued with genuine emotion:

"Now that we've encountered each other, this disciple has no reason not to seek revenge. Besides, this disciple has already given Yang Chengxu face; it was he who provoked me first. There's no other way but to fight. Shouldn't a cultivator like myself be able to settle scores quickly and decisively?"

After a slight pause, Meng Wu'an remained silent, then slowly raised the jade hairpin in his hand and placed it on his head, drawing everyone's attention to it.

"This jade hairpin is the heirloom of my junior sister Yang, and I obtained it from Yang Chengxu. Your sect's disciple was the first to kill my sect's disciple. Shouldn't you, Peak Master Mu, provide an explanation for this?"

After Meng Wu'an finished speaking, his face remained calm as he looked directly at Mu Yongxian.

The group of people fell silent, their eyes gleaming, and they made their own judgments.

After a long pause, Mu Yongxian's face flushed red, and he pointed at Meng Wu'an, a look of shock and anger flashing across his face.

"Ignorant brat, everything you've said is pure nonsense. Who knows whether it's true or false? But the fact that you killed my beloved disciple within the secret realm is undeniable. No matter what, this matter will not end until an explanation is given!"

"Regarding Yang Mengying's matter, whether it is as I said or not, I believe Peak Master Mu only needs to investigate within the sect to find out everything. Moreover, I dare to swear on my Dao Heart that all I have done is out of desperation; revenge is inevitable!"

Meng Wu'an took a deep breath and remained unmoved in the face of Mu Yongxian's accusations.

Master Qingzhu nodded to Meng Wu'an at the opportune moment, his gaze calm as he looked at Mu Yongxian.

"Now, Fellow Daoist Mu, you know what really happened, right? To be fair, while my disciple was certainly at fault, wasn't Yang Chengxu also the one who went too far first?"

After a pause, Master Qingzhu shook his head and sighed softly, a trace of sorrow in his eyes, which did not seem to be fake.

"Moreover, Yang Mengying is not just a disciple of my sect, but also my pre-arranged disciple and Daoist partner. Such a grudge, if we hadn't encountered her, it would have been fine, but now that we have, how can we not avenge her!?"

After saying this, Master Qingzhu suddenly looked up, his gaze sharp as lightning as he looked at Mu Yongxian, and his voice as loud as a great bell as he questioned Mu Yongxian.

"In this matter, isn't your disciple Yang Chengxu being reasonable and deserving an explanation? Right now, it's just a conflict between juniors; they were simply outmatched and took their bad luck. But Fellow Daoist Mu is so incessantly complaining. My beloved disciple and Daoist partner were killed by your disciple. What kind of explanation do you want from our sect?!"

When Master Qingzhu spoke, his gaze instantly sharpened, and his aura exploded. As a result, everyone was shocked. Even the Black Wind Spirit Dragon in the sky trembled slightly under this pressure and fell from the sky.

"The Purple Mansion! It's actually the Purple Mansion True Lord!"

"No wonder they were so fearless. It makes sense; logically and emotionally, this matter shouldn't be pursued!"

The surrounding crowd gasped, their faces showing surprise and admiration, and they began to whisper amongst themselves.

In contrast, the people of the Spirit Dragon Sect remained silent. Although their faces were grim, they clenched their fists, lowered their heads slightly, and dared not say anything more.

Mu Yongxian exhaled, his face dark and uncertain, looking even more aggrieved. He stared at Qingzhu Zhenren, a flicker of fear deep in his eyes. His expression hardened, and he spoke in a low, threatening tone:

"Yang Chengxu is not only a prodigy of our sect, but also the direct descendant of the Yang family of Wuzhou. Even the True Monarch Purple Rainbow Sect would not want to offend him, would they?"

"Oh? Is that so?" Master Qingzhu's expression remained calm. He took a light step forward, and a phantom azure celestial sword, like bamboo, soared into the sky, suppressing all directions.

"If they have any complaints, they can come to me."

As Master Qingzhu spoke, his voice suddenly deepened, transforming into a thunderclap in the void, booming and exploding. At this moment, the aura of his Purple Mansion erupted without reservation, turning into a shadow that enveloped everyone. As a result, the wind and clouds changed, and the sky darkened.

"you……!"

Mu Yongxian was furious. He pointed at Qingzhu Zhenren, his expression shifting between light and dark, his eyes flickering as if he were weighing his options.

After a moment, Mu Yongxian exhaled deeply, his face cold and stern. With a wave of his hand, he said coldly, "Very well, Qingzhu Zhenren, remember what you said. Linglong Sect disciples, let's go."

Having said that, the Black Wind Spirit Dragon lowered its head, and the disciples of the Spirit Dragon Sect, with displeasure on their faces, silently boarded the dragon's back. With Mu Yongxian's gentle wave of his hand, the Black Wind Spirit Dragon ascended into the sky and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the distance.

"This trip has resulted in the complete loss of both wife and soldiers."

Mu Yongxian sighed softly, standing atop the dragon's head, letting the wind whip his face without any protection, his heart filled with desolation.

The two competitions this time can be said to be complete failures. Tang Chen perished, and Yang Chengxu also perished. Such dereliction of duty, even with his cultivation level, would mean that he would face severe punishment if he went to the Spirit Dragon Sect.

"Moreover, Yang Chengxu has perished, and the Yang family will blame us then..."

As Mu Yongxian pondered, he rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. Although he was furious at Yang Chengxu's death, he was even more terrified.

The death of Tang Chen, though bad for his reputation, is not a major issue. However, if Yang Chengxu were to perish, the pressure he would face would increase significantly.

"Purple Rainbow Gate, Green Bamboo..."

As Mu Yongxian left indignantly, Yu Changsheng and Li Minghan exchanged a glance in the crowd. While looking at each other, they also breathed a sigh of relief and, without prior arrangement, quietly cast a grateful look at Meng Wu'an.

Meng Wu'an remained calm as he watched Mu Yongxian walk away. He shook his head slightly, then looked at Qingzhu Zhenren in front of him with a hint of respect. He bowed and clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"I've caused Master trouble."

"It's alright, you did nothing wrong. If they dare to make a fuss, let them come at us. Our Purple Rainbow Sect isn't afraid of this."

Master Qingzhu smiled, showing no anger on his face. He simply raised his head slightly, patted Meng Wu'an's shoulder gently, and glanced around. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his gaze lingered slightly on Yu Changsheng and Li Minghan.

Yu Changsheng and Li Minghan became alert, their eyes slightly darting away. Fortunately, Qingzhu Zhenren did not linger, but continued to look at Lu Ruikai with a hint of apology on his face.

"It has disturbed the fellow Daoists of the Myriad Manifestations Sect. It is somewhat inappropriate for such a thing to happen within your secret realm."

"It's alright, it's alright. I see that Fellow Daoist Qingzhu's disciple is exceptionally talented and handsome. He should just take this trip to the secret realm on his own. As for anything else, it's not important."

Lu Ruikai smiled and nodded to Qingzhu Zhenren, a hint of surprise flashing deep in his eyes.

"If any disciples of your Myriad Manifestations Sect come to visit my Purple Rainbow Sect in the future, please mention my name, and I will welcome you with a stroke of my beard. It's getting late, so if there's nothing else, I'll take my disciple back first."

"We need to return to the sect and make preparations in advance for this matter."

Master Qingzhu nodded, pondered for a moment, cupped his hands in greeting to Lu Ruikai, and then gladly took his leave with Meng Wu'an.

Lu Ruikai did not try to stop them. After watching the two leave, he turned to Zhang Tianwen, Yu Changsheng, and the others, and smiled.

"This trip to the secret realm has now come to a complete end. Although there were some ups and downs, the outcome was ultimately good. I'm sure you all gained something. As for the specific opportunities, the sect will not interfere further."

"All of you are the backbone of my Myriad Manifestations Sect. In the days to come, cultivate diligently. If you need anything, you can ask the sect for help, and the sect will consider it accordingly. Also, Changsheng, come to the main hall to see me tomorrow at noon."

After saying a few words, Lu Ruikai didn't linger. Before leaving, his gaze lingered on Yu Changsheng for a moment, and he said something thoughtfully before turning and leaving.

"I?!"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Yu Changsheng scratched his nose, feeling a little uneasy and speculating.

"Perhaps it's because of the Black Tortoise."

.........

"Alright, alright, we finally get a break. If you're free, how about I host a good meal at my Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion tonight?"

Li Minghan laughed heartily, patting Zhang Tianwen and Yu Changsheng on the shoulders in a very warm manner.

After spending this time together, the three of them have become much more familiar with each other. They are no longer as reserved as they were at the beginning.

"I have no objection."

Zhang Tianwen nodded and looked at Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng did not refuse either, and smiled, "Okay, then I'll trouble you."

Just in time, he needed to take stock of what he had gained from this trip, especially since Yang Chengxu's storage bag contained quite a few treasures.

After all three had no objections, they soon arrived at the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion, where wine and food had already been prepared.

After several rounds of drinks, as dusk fell, Zhang Tianwen took his leave, and Yu Changsheng was also arranged to stay in a guest room.

"call……"

Yu Changsheng's face was flushed. After using his magic to digest the alcohol in his body, he exhaled a long breath of alcohol. His eyes were bright. He tapped his hand, and with a thought, the attribute panel appeared before his eyes.

.........

"His physique has changed. He gained the Spiritual Body through this great opportunity, but is the Heavenly Dao's favor due to the Myriad Spirits Technique...?"

Yu Changsheng's gaze swept across the rows of data, lost in thought, until he finally saw the key points. His eyes lit up, his breathing quickened slightly, and he felt a little dizzy.

"880,000 key points..."

This data was beyond his wildest imagination. With these key points, Yu Changsheng could accomplish a great deal.

"How many times can this be added?" Yu Changsheng beamed with joy, his heart pounding with excitement.

"Damn, this trip to the secret realm has made me incredibly rich. I got 880,000 essence points, and my Spirit Platform has been upgraded to the eighth level. My cultivation has jumped to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment. My two spirit beasts, the Colorful Star Deer and the Golden-Winged Eagle, have also reached the sixth level of the second tier..."

The apparent gains alone were enough to leave Yu Changsheng somewhat at a loss.

"Furthermore, there's still Yang Chengxu's storage bag I haven't checked. With his wealth, he certainly won't disappoint me, as will his Azure Dragon and Sky Shadow Dragon corpses. Once I extract them with my cheat... at that time, the Crimson Serpent will also usher in a great fortune!"

Yu Changsheng's eyes were bright as he thought about these things. His breathing became slightly rapid, and his gaze was intense. After swallowing, he slowly took out Yang Chengxu's storage bag from his backpack.

"Splash!"

The pile of spirit stones glittered, and the surrounding spiritual energy suddenly increased. Yu Changsheng scanned it with his divine sense and found that there were nearly 600,000 spirit stones.

"This guy is really rich."

Yu Changsheng was surprised and muttered something to himself, his eyes filled with even greater anticipation as he looked at something else.

Aside from the mountain of spirit stones, the other items in the storage bag were quite common: a large number of pills and talismans, basic cultivation techniques scattered haphazardly in the corners, and some beast-taming supplies.

As for magical artifacts, although there were quite a few, none of them were particularly valuable. As a beast tamer, these things weren't of much help to Yu Changsheng. Only a jade bottle emitting a faint glow in the corner attracted the attention of the people on the fishing boat.

"Blood of the Spirit Dragon?"

Yu Changsheng let out a soft "Eh," his expression slightly surprised. He was quite familiar with this stuff; he had just given Li Minghan a bottle a while ago.

Isn't this the blood of the Spirit Dragon? It was precisely because of the Spirit Dragon's blood that Li Minghan's Dragon Scale Crimson Mountain Armor underwent further transformation; its preciousness is self-evident. (End of Chapter)
