The Master of Beasts-Chapter 750 - 231_2

"Master? Is it the City Lord?" Little Nine asked with a puzzled expression.

"Don't play dumb. The master never intended to take in a disciple. Even if he did, he wouldn't do it without consulting us. So what method did you use?"

"I heard you emerged from the Tomb of Death, and there are eight old fossils there. Could there actually be nine? Could you be one of them?" Yue Meng asked sharply.

A glint of ferocity flashed in Little Nine's eyes, but a smile appeared on his face. "How could that be? Maybe the teacher just had a momentary impulse!"

"After all, my talent shouldn't be considered low, right?"

A black-purple Beast Taming Contract Mark appeared in the palm of Little Nine's hand.

"The Contract Mark, so quickly?" Black Eye said with some surprise.

Although the Beast Taming Techniques given by Chen Jiuge were very basic, they were derived from the "Undying Technique." No matter the Beast Taming Technique, forming an initial Contract Mark isn't easy.

Being able to condense such a life-and-death controlling mark out of thin air indicates that Little Nine has thoroughly mastered it.

"Even with good talent, it's impossible!" Dabai exclaimed.

"Cough, cough, what are you all doing?"

The commotion among the Guardian Beasts naturally alarmed Chen Jiuge. Everyone's emotions were intensifying, so Chen Jiuge couldn't hide it any longer. This mustn't turn into chaos!

"Alright, disperse for now. I will explain to you all later!"

Under the puzzled gazes of the beasts, Chen Jiuge waved indicating for them to leave.

"Master, you will give us a satisfactory explanation, right?" Yue Meng gazed intently at Chen Jiuge.

The usually lively Dabai, the serious Black Eye, and the warlike Zhan Ge all shared the same sentiment.

Chen Jiuge hesitated for a moment, realizing he hadn't had a proper conversation with them in a long time. Perhaps he should spend more time with them.

With a knowing smile, Chen Jiuge nodded. "Of course!"

The beasts dispersed, leaving Chen Jiuge alone with Zuyan Feng standing nearby.

Watching Zuyan Feng still standing there, Chen Jiuge said, somewhat speechless, "Shouldn't you give us some privacy?"

Zuyan Feng responded awkwardly, "But this is my home!"

Hearing Zuyan Feng's grievance, Chen Jiuge hesitated, then casually tossed a pile of Immortal Brew. "Go have a drink with your clansmen. I have something to discuss with Little Nine."

"Thank you, City Lord!"

In the small courtyard, only Chen Jiuge and Little Nine remained.

Looking at the black-purple Contract Mark in Little Nine's palm, Chen Jiuge sighed, "No wonder someone from the Tomb of Death has such astonishing talent!"

"Do you agree, Ninth Person?"

"Ninth Person?" Little Nine tilted his head in confusion.

"Crack"

Meng Ze's figure appeared from behind Chen Jiuge. The usually composed Meng Ze had a solemn look on his face. "Tomb of Death, should be Death's Gate, right?"

"You're the Ninth Person of Death's Gate. I saw you when I was just a larva. Back then, you were just a little cultivator following someone around!"

"Nightmare, huh? It's rare to encounter a Nightmare who remembers me!" Little Nine showed a hint of surprise.

It's known that Nightmares, as Chaos Creatures, have infinite lifespans but still need to eat. With their mediocre power, it's rare for a Nightmare to live to its lifespan's limit. Living for a thousand years is already remarkable.

"I was careless. As a commoner, it's understandable for me to be excited seeing a secret technique that only nobles can practice." Little Nine shook his head slightly.

"So what is your purpose?" Chen Jiuge asked, stepping back slightly.

"Teacher, I truly wish to become your disciple. Although I used some trivial tactics, I didn't harm you, right?"

A thick deathly aura enveloped Little Nine, and those increasingly bright purple eyes brought a heavy pressure to Chen Jiuge.

"Is it Daluo? No, even stronger than Song Bei. I wonder if Jialouluo can withstand it?" Chen Jiuge's heart sank.

This powerful, heart-shaking presence also caused the other Daluos in the city to tremble uneasily.

"What is this?" Naturally, the most profound cultivator, Jialouluo, was the first to feel it.

"The aura of death?"

"Crack"

The void split open, and Song Bei stepped out with large strides.

"This aura is very wrong!"

"Hmm, but we need to exchange blows to know!" Jialouluo said, getting up with domineering confidence.

"However...."

Jialouluo interrupted Song Bei, "Aren't you known as the Living Shura? Acting so timid, how much of your battle power can you unleash?"

Song Bei raised an eyebrow, his eyes sharp as blades, "Shall we have a bout then?"

"I was thinking the same!"

"Fine, let me assess the situation first. I hope it's a worthy opponent for a warm-up!"

On the other side, during the stare down with Little Nine, cold sweat broke out on Meng Ze's forehead.

Seeing this, Chen Jiuge felt a sinking feeling. "Looks like Meng Ze isn't a match for him. I was too careless, should've informed Jialouluo and the others beforehand!"

As for Shuibing and others, Chen Jiuge didn't intend to rely too much on them, mainly to see how much weight Jialouluo and the Evil Ghosts place on him.

"Oh, isn't this the little ghost from the Tomb of Death?"

"Seems like we've underestimated it!" Song Bei said solemnly.

Being able to hide oneself completely under the watchful eyes of so many Daluos, this guy isn't simple!

"Hmm? Evil Ghosts have such powerful beings?" Little Nine looked at Jialouluo with some surprise.

"What is your purpose?"

Seeing Jialouluo showing signs of taking action, Chen Jiuge quickly stepped forward and spoke.

"Purpose?" Little Nine hesitated, scratching his chin, looking a bit lost.

"I remember the boss sent me out to find out the reason for the early appearance of the life span calamity. As for how to find it, how to see it?"

Little Nine thought for a long time, eventually shaking his head. "I don't even know how to see it. Can you tell me?"

"Right now, I just want to study this Beast Taming!"

Chen Jiuge was somewhat surprised, looking at the Beast Taming Mark in Little Nine's palm, still enduring the thick deathly aura. "Do you really want to learn the Way of Beast Tamer from me?"

"Of course!"

Little Nine shook his head, "In my era, aside from basic body refinement techniques, all other cultivation paths were only for nobles to practice."

"For someone as lowly as me from the Human Clan, not to mention practicing, I didn't even have the right to glimpse them!"

"After meeting the boss, I focused solely on cultivation, avenging against the nobles who didn't treat people as humans. Though I've obtained many Secret Techniques, compared to you, the gap is still vast!"

"So when I call you teacher, it's sincere!"

Looking at Little Nine's purple eyes, Chen Jiuge didn't know why, but he saw sincerity and nodded. "I can teach you, but I have one requirement!"

"Go ahead!"

"You mustn't do anything harmful to Star Moon City!"

"Of course, as long as the teacher is here, I won't cause trouble." Little Nine nodded.

"Good!"

"Both seniors, since we can talk, let's not resort to fighting if possible!"

"What a killjoy, anyway, you all continue the conversation!" Jialouluo waved his sleeve, leaving directly.

Leaving Song Bei, who wasn't very willing, but seeing Meng Ze beside Chen Jiuge, Song Bei felt he had to stay and observe.

......

"Yiyah"

"Oh oh oh"

All sorts of strange sounds echoed in an obscure, nameless small city, causing many Ghost Monsters to flee in panic.

A gray barrier completely enveloped the small city. No matter how the Ghost Monsters fled, they couldn't escape this cage.

Above the barrier, two figures in gray robes watched silently. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Senior Brother, haven't the elders arrived yet?"

Zhu Yu responded in a hoarse voice, "I suppose they don't place much importance on this. After all, they're just low-level materials for refining Soul Devices."

"Still, making Senior Brother come personally is too much. Senior Brother is the core disciple of our Soul Suppressing Holy Land!" Lin Yu grumbled with dissatisfaction.

"No worries. Let's wait a while more. If they still don't come, then I'll just have to collect these materials myself and head back." Zhu Yu said indifferently, as if he didn't consider this a big deal at all.

Thousands of miles away, a fierce-looking Ghost King with a terrifying face dragged a corpse, its sharp turquoise nails tracing the wound on its chest, saying sullenly, "Is this what they call the most powerful Sect in the True Realm?"

"Just an ordinary elder could inflict such a severe injury on me!"
