Our Sect's Guardian Sacred Beasts Are About to Be Lured Away by This Young Master!

Ye Qianyuan stared indifferently at the four inner disciples kneeling and crying, his gaze unwavering.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his dark blue brocade robe with mountain patterns fluttering in the strong wind, and slowly said, "Young friend Ding Ran spared you, that's his magnanimity, but you have violated the sect rules, and as the sect leader, I naturally have to enforce the sect's laws!"

The four inner disciples' faces were pale and bluish, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

Their lips trembled as they tried to say something, but when they met Ye Qianyuan's cold eyes, their cries caught in their throats, leaving only silent tears streaming down their cheeks.

Ye Qianyuan stopped looking at them and turned to Ding Ran, his face righteous and stern as he said, "Young friend Ding Ran, this matter is due to the lax discipline of our Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, resulting in such a disgraceful scoundrel among our disciples! I have dealt with it according to the sect rules, and their relatives and friends will be informed afterward. No one will cause trouble for you afterward! Are you satisfied with this handling?"

Ding Ran had been in a daze the whole time.

He had struggled in the cultivation Immortal Realm for many years, gradually working his way up from the Qi Refining Realm to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

He knew better than anyone the survival Principle for Rogue Cultivators: the strong prey on the weak, and profit comes first!

If you steal something from someone else and don't get caught, that's your own skill!

He had always thought that big sects were nothing more than that, at most just more impressive on the surface.

I never expected that simply stealing something would lead to the destruction of my cultivation and expulsion from the sect?

Ding Ran was not a disciple of a major sect and had no idea that the sect rules of major sects were so strict!

Compared to the rigid rules and regulations of these major sects, the lives of Rogue Cultivators are much more free...

Of course, the price of that freedom is uncertainty and having no one to support you...

However, regardless of the circumstances, what he was most worried about was that after killing these four disciples of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, he would be enraged and hunted down by the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.

That's why he spared the lives of the four people yesterday.

Now that Ten Thousand Beast Mountain is handling the matter according to its own rules, and will also inform their relatives and friends, the situation is much more serious.

Then Ding Ran naturally wouldn't need to worry about being secretly resented and retaliated against.

In this way, he both avenged himself and avoided making a powerful enemy.

He was naturally extremely satisfied with this result.

He nodded vigorously, his voice still tinged with nervousness. "Thank you, Mountain True Lord, for upholding justice for this junior. This junior is very satisfied!"

Ye Qianyuan nodded slightly, his smile becoming even more gentle, and his tone softening. "By the way, Chen Chuanmo is the real mastermind. I will have someone summon Chen Chuanmo now. As for how to deal with him, that's up to you, young friend Ding Ran, to decide. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Ran was slightly taken aback.

He was, after all, a member of a small Lineage who had struggled at the bottom for decades. To have survived to this day, he was naturally quite quick-witted.

He suddenly understood something.

When dealing with those four inner disciples, this Mountain Lord True Lord didn't say a word and handled them strictly according to the sect rules, directly deciding their fate.

Decisive and swift, leaving absolutely no room for negotiation!

But now, Chen Chuanmo is being asked to make the decision, instead of being dealt with directly according to the sect rules.

Clearly, this mountain lord did not want to strip Chen Chuanmo of his cultivation and expel him from the sect.

Ding Ran had anticipated this.

After all, unlike these four inner disciples, Chen Chuanmo is a core disciple of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and is probably only one step away from reaching the Golden Core.

There is even a certain hope that they will become Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the future.

Furthermore, the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain has likely invested a considerable amount of resources in Chen Chuanmo, so they certainly wouldn't be willing to simply abolish his cultivation.

He couldn't help but glance at Lu Yang.

The morning light shone on Lu Yang's plain white robes. He stood with his hands behind his back, his face still bearing that calm and unhurried smile.

Noticing Ding Ran's gaze, Lu Yang smiled slightly, his tone casual and gentle. "Fellow Daoist Ding Ran, it's up to you to decide. I said I would handle this matter for you, and I certainly won't go back on my word."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qianyuan and the others felt a chill in their hearts.

The young master's words were clearly telling them that he was determined to handle this matter today.

No matter what choice Ding Ran makes, he will help her!

This shows a complete disregard for the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain!

However, although they were somewhat angry, they dared not show it.

Because this young master truly has the confidence to back it up.

Ye Qianyuan originally hoped that Ding Ran would be more sensible and take the initiative to say that he would not pursue the matter further, so that he could take the opportunity to protect Chen Chuanmo.

After all, Chen Chuanmo is indeed quite talented, possessing Supreme-Grade Spirit Roots. If he has some fortuitous fortuitous opportunities in the future, he might actually have a chance to become a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

For Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, losing cultivation due to this incident would be a significant loss!

Unexpectedly, this young master spoke so resolutely for Ding Ran's sake!

Ye Qianyuan was carefully considering his words, preparing to say a few more.

Just then, Lu Qingtong, who had been silent all along, said with a grin, "Ding Ran, by delivering me to the young master, you saved my life and gave me a great fortuitous opportunity. If you hate that Chen Chuanmo, I'll help you kill him and return this fortuitous opportunity to you, how about it?"

Everyone present was stunned upon hearing this.

The deck fell silent instantly.

Even the roars of Demon Beast coming from the distant Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range seemed to be isolated in another world at this moment.

Only the morning breeze tirelessly passed through the ship's side, rustling the soft sounds of everyone's clothes.

Ding Ran stood frozen in place, her eyes wide, staring intently at the little girl who was less than a meter tall in front of her.

The four disciples of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain who had been weeping uncontrollably stopped crying at this moment and turned to look at Lu Qingtong.

Ye Qianyuan and the other elders could no longer remain calm. They turned their heads sharply to look at Lu Qingtong, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The ones who couldn't hold on the longest were those four transformed demons.

The way they looked at Lu Qingtong was as if they had seen a ghost; they couldn't even maintain basic self-control.

In fact, due to their intense emotions, their demonic Yao Qi began to surge violently, uncontrollably revealing some of their true forms!

Pale golden snake scales appeared on the neck of the burly middle-aged man, gleaming with a cold metallic luster in the sunlight.

A few gray, stiff hairs quietly peeked out from the face of the thin, gray-robed old man.

Two tufts of downy hair sprouted from the ears of the kind-faced, round-faced woman.

Even the aloof woman in the dark green feathered robe had her eyes uncontrollably turn into vertical, bluish-green pupils.

The burly man at the head of the group spoke first, his voice hoarse and trembling. "Wait... you mean, you're that egg?! The Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Peng egg that Ding Ran presented to this young master yesterday??"

The gaunt old man in the gray robe stared in disbelief, his voice shrill. "How is this possible?! You must be lying to us, right?! How could something grow from a beast egg to the Nascent Soul Perfection stage in just one night?! How could anyone in the world possibly do such a thing?!"

Lu Qingtong wrinkled her nose, a hint of dissatisfaction rising in her large, blue eyes.

She turned her head, her childish voice tinged with a hint of self-righteous pride. "Grandpas and grandmas, what are you talking about? My young master is incredibly amazing! Just because others can't do it doesn't mean my young master can't!"

The four transformed demons froze on the spot.

They exchanged a glance, and both saw an intense, almost overflowing, longing in each other's eyes.

Previously, they had no connection whatsoever between this Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Peng and the beast egg from yesterday.

After all, no creature with a normal brain could possibly believe that a Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Peng could grow from an egg into Nascent Soul Perfection demon overnight!

They all originally believed that this Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Peng was a natal spirit beast prepared for this young master by the mysterious force behind him, which had spent many years cultivating it.

That's why she possesses a bloodline far superior to her own kind!

However, reality was far more surreal than they imagined!

It was so surreal that they wondered if the Nine Heavens Golden-Winged Peng was just playing a trick on them.

However... they also harbored a sliver of hope.

What if it's true?

If this young master truly has the ability to transform a beast egg into Peak Nascent Soul stage transformed demon overnight, wouldn't he also have the ability to elevate them to an even higher level?

Is this possible?

If they follow this young master, they might Spirit Transformation Demon Kings by tomorrow morning!

Once this thought arose, it spread like wildfire in the minds of the four transformed demons.

Their breathing became heavy and rapid involuntarily, and their eyes blazed with an intense, burning light.

The four Supreme Elders of Ten Thousand Beast Mountain who had formed spirit beast contracts with these four great demons noticed the violently surging emotional fluctuations of their own spirit beasts at almost the same time.

Their faces turned green on the spot.

As Nascent Soul True Lord specialize in the art of beast taming, they are all too aware of what the fortuitous opportunity to break through the shackles of bloodline means to Demon Beasts!

That's not just an improvement in skill level, but also an increase in growth potential!

This means they could grow to a level far exceeding the limits of their ethnic group!

The allure of such Demon Beast fortuitous opportunity is so strong that even a spirit beast contract cannot suppress it!

If this continues, they feel that all of their guardian beasts will be taken away by this young master!

Even though they also envied this ability, they dared not show it at all.

What terrifying origins must someone possess to have such extraordinary abilities?

Even though they had already elevated this young master's status to an extremely high level, they still quietly raised it two or three levels higher.

Only legendary immortals could possess such abilities!

At the very least, they are beings associated with immortals!

Ye Qianyuan felt a chill run through his body, and terror appeared in his eyes.

From the soles of his feet to the top of his head, every inch of his skin was radiating cold air.

The morning light shone brightly on him, but he felt no warmth at all!

Just now... he actually tried to play dirty tricks on someone related to immortals?

Cold sweat soaked through his dark blue brocade robe with mountain patterns, and even his forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat. He coughed and hurriedly said to Ding Ran, "I... I suddenly remembered a saying circulating in the mortal world: 'Even the emperor is subject to the law!' Although Chen Chuanmo is a core disciple of my Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, he instigated his fellow disciples to rob others. His crime is heinous and intolerable! Ten Thousand Beast Mountain will never tolerate such a scoundrel! We will punish him according to the sect rules! His cultivation will be abolished, and he will be expelled from the sect!"

Although Ye Qianyuan was speaking to Ding Ran, his eyes were constantly fixed on Lu Yang's face, and he didn't dare to look away for even a moment.

They were afraid that this mysterious young nobleman might even furrow his brow!

However, Lu Yang always wore a faint smile. The morning light shone on his handsome face, and his eyes remained gentle and peaceful, showing neither joy nor anger, revealing no superfluous emotions.

This made Ye Qianyuan extremely nervous and sweat profusely.

He couldn't quite understand what this young master was thinking.

Still... still laughing... She shouldn't be angry, right?
