The Master of Beasts
Chapter 890 - 301
Di Shi's gathering place is just one of them, not the only one.
Although most of the people Beng Yu brought are useless, there are still some capable individuals among them.
"I discovered something!"
On the first day other gathering places moved in, Xiao Hong came to Chen Jiuge's study with a mysterious look on his face.
"What's this look? It seems a bit unscrupulous!" Chen Jiuge said oddly.
"Go away, you're the unscrupulous one!"
Xiao Hong said seriously, "Isn't today the day when gathering places move into Three Stars Town?"
"Yes, so what? Did a conflict break out on the first day?" Chen Jiuge asked, surprised.
"How could that be!"
Xiao Hong slightly shook his head, unwilling to comment on Beng Yu's clansmen. Clearly, under Beng Yu's care, they are living reasonably well and at least not going hungry for three days out of nine.
In the Heavenly Gift Realm, cultivators wouldn't have poor cultivation when provided with enough food.
"Today, when other gathering places entered the town, several smart ones even sent people to inquire about Three Stars Town from me."
"I originally thought these people entering the town would be obstructed by the previous ones, but I couldn't believe it."
"Believe what?"
Recalling the moment of entering the town, Xiao Hong saw the streets were empty, and all the nearby houses, occupied or not, had their doors tightly shut.
"They all ran away."
"Huh?" Chen Jiuge envisioned the scene in his mind.
The mountain people from gathering places, who were probably worried about being bullied by people from Beng Yu's gathering, found out that everyone ran away once they entered, and their expressions must have been priceless!
"Although a bit unexpected, it was still within the acceptable range, so your expression just now must not have been because of this!"
Xiao Hong nodded, "Indeed, it wasn't!"
"Didn't I borrow quite a few Shadow Demons from you to observe the town for unexpected happenings?"
"And then?"
"I found that most of Beng Yu's people are indeed simply timid, but some are different!"
"Some are deliberately hiding their talents!"
"Huh? Hiding their talents?" Chen Jiuge was incredulous. It would be normal in the True Realm, but with the straightforward cultivators of the Heavenly Gift Realm, it seemed unusual.
"Exactly, and timing it right, they should be arriving now!"
As soon as the words were spoken, two shadows appeared on the ground, slowly transforming into four figures like ink in water.
The two Shadow Demons respectfully saluted Chen Jiuge and then vanished from the study, leaving behind two bewildered, frightened mountain people.
The mountain person on the right had an ordinary appearance, being someone you wouldn't recognize in a crowd, while the other had a slightly distinctive look but was missing an arm.
The two were performing seamlessly, yet since Xiao Hong had already said they were hiding, Chen Jiuge naturally didn't trust their appearance now.
A barely noticeable divine sense swept over the two, and a hint of surprise appeared on Chen Jiuge's face.
"How is this possible?"
It wasn't that Chen Jiuge found something, but that he found nothing at all.
Divine Sense is something cultivators of the Heavenly Gift Realm are almost helpless against, even those with higher cultivation levels than Chen Jiuge would be easily detected, yet the two in front of him revealed nothing.
This means that these two frightened individuals must have cultivation at least on the level of Daluo, top cultivators among the Daluo. Otherwise, an ordinary Daluo, even at the Warrior King level, wouldn't have concealed everything from Chen Jiuge's probe.
"What exactly are you two up to?"
Sensing Chen Jiuge's mood, Zi Qianlian and Hua Xi, hidden behind the study's screen, revealed themselves with solemn faces, looking at the two in front of them.
"Clan Leader, we don't know either. We were just at home when we were suddenly engulfed by a shadow, and when we appeared again, it was here!"
"We didn't do it on purpose!" said the simple-faced mountain person, looking aggrieved.
"Alright, stop pretending!"
The one-armed mountain person looked at Chen Jiuge's amused expression with disdain and nudged the mountain person beside him, "Luoshan, the Clan Leader has already figured it out, continuing the act is pointless!"
"Mang, what are you talking about, I don't understand!" Luoshan shook his head repeatedly.
Mang looked at Luoshan speechlessly, then stood up and addressed Chen Jiuge, "Clan Leader, was it those little black things that exposed us?"
"We haven't shown any flaws, have we?"
Chen Jiuge glanced at Xiao Hong, signaling it was time for him to perform.
Xiao Hong smiled brightly at the two, "Actually, you hid quite well. If you were still wandering outside, Beng Yu would never have imagined that what he thought were old, weak, sick, and disabled, were actually hiding two great masters!"
"No, not just you two, but you two probably have the strongest abilities!"
"So how exactly did you discover us?" Mang asked impatiently.
"Was it the food remnants?" Luoshan also dropped the feigned ignorance.
"Those small black things, though not powerful, have decent stealth capabilities. They must have seen the fierce beast remnants we buried under the yard!"
"Smart!" Xiao Hong snapped his fingers!
Although Xiao Hong borrowed some Shadow Demons from Chen Jiuge, their quantity was limited and couldn't monitor everyone, so discovering the little secret of these two was actually an accident.
