The Deity Summoning Society and Martial Prohibition Hall Clash

"Brother Jiang, I never expected you to be interested in this Exotic Beast!"

"Brother Feng is here too! Why didn't you tell me? And who is this?"

"Oh! This is my cousin, Feng Qijia. Cousin, this is Jiang Liu, the brother I mentioned to you."

Feng Qijia glanced at Jiang Liu indifferently, nodded, and said nothing. He exuded the aura of Eighth Rank Martial Practitioner, revealing a natural air of arrogance.

Seeing that Feng Qijia was ignoring him, Jiang Liu nodded and then said to Feng Yi, "That's alright, I'll be going now. Let's have tea together another day!"

"Okay!" Feng Yi said goodbye to Jiang Liu with a smile.

After Jiang Liu left, Feng Qijia looked at Feng Yi and said, "Cousin, you should avoid associating with this kind of person in the future; it won't do you any good!"

"Cousin, I know what I'm doing!" Feng Yi replied casually when he saw that Feng Qijia looked down on Jiang Liu.

"Anyway, you can think about it yourself! I'm leaving now if there's nothing else." After saying that, Feng Qijia left quickly. He hadn't seen Xiahou Yi for an hour or two, and he was afraid that Xiahou Yi might need to find him but wouldn't be able to, which would be bad.

Feng Yi watched Feng Qijia leave in a hurry and knew that he was rushing to Xiahou Yi to curry favor again. He immediately felt that his cousin was beyond redemption.

What's so good about a witch from the Sun Moon Sect? Don't think that just because the Sun Moon Sect doesn't do anything evil on the surface in Wind City, it's like a righteous church. Feng Yi knows a lot about the evil things they've done in other places.

Feng Yi then ignored him. If he wanted to die, could anyone stop him? But Brother Jiang, it's a bit unusual that he could come up with so much silver to buy this Exotic Beast!

In any case, Feng Yi has been dealing with Jiang Liu for some time now, and by observing Jiang Liu's usual eating, living and spending habits, he can roughly tell what kind of person Jiang Liu is.

Then he thought again, forget it, it's other people's privacy, I won't pry. Besides, this Brother Jiang is not someone to be trifled with. He knows that Jiang Liu's strength is at the eighth rank, not the Seventh Grade.

Thinking that Jiang Liu's strength had risen from the Subordinate Seventh Rank to the eighth rank in less than half a year, Feng Yi realized that the speed at which Brother Jiang's strength had improved was terrifying! Feng Yi suppressed his thoughts and walked out of the Ascension Tower.

After leaving the Ascension Tower, Jiang Liu went straight back to his residence, eager to focus on cultivating his Beast Mastery Art.

Jiang Liu sat down cross-legged and began to use the operating method of the Beast Mastery Art. Before long, a spiritual power different from what he usually used was born from his mind.

Once this spiritual energy was born, it tried to spread outwards, but before it could leave the body, it was swallowed up by the original spiritual energy.

Jiang Liu was stunned when he sensed this. It was the first time he had realized that the spiritual power cultivated through the Soul Technique was so domineering.

This made Jiang Liu feel uneasy. If the spiritual power he cultivated through the Beast Mastery Art was unusable, and was swallowed whole by the Soul Technique's spiritual power whenever he tried to use it, how could he tame beasts?

He was hoping to see if dragons existed in this world, so he could realize his dream of becoming a dragon-riding warrior. But he was completely stunned by his first step.

Undeterred, Jiang Liu continued practicing the Beast Mastery Art, but the result was the same. The moment his beast-taming spiritual power left his body, it was swallowed whole by the Soul Technique's spiritual power. Enraged, Jiang Liu vowed to continue practicing until nightfall, but the outcome was still the same.

"Let's have dinner first, we'll continue later." Thinking this, Jiang Liu was about to get up when he habitually released his spiritual energy to probe. Hmm? His spiritual energy seems different today?

Originally, the range of his consciousness was only a little over 300 meters, but now it has increased to almost 350 meters. That's faster than the increase from Soul Refining Technique? Does that mean the mental power cultivated through the Soul Technique, combined with the mental power cultivated through the Exotic Beast Technique, has an effect greater than the sum of its parts?

That's interesting! As for whether he can control beasts, we'll talk about that later. Right now, Jiang Liu just needs to know that he didn't learn this Beast Mastery Art for nothing.

After finishing his dinner, Jiang Liu returned and continued practicing his Beast Mastery Art. He practiced until dawn, at which point he couldn't even bother with his Soul Technique or Heart Sutra.

Jiang Liu cultivated in this way for several days. On this day, Jiang Liu still habitually separated the beast-taming spiritual power he had cultivated from his body, waiting to be swallowed up by the soul technique spiritual power.

As a result, at the moment the Beast Taming Spiritual Power left his body, the Soul Technique Spiritual Power did not swallow it whole this time, but merged with it. This time, Jiang Liu could truly feel what the Spiritual Power of the Beast Mastery Art was like.

To put it simply, it involves using intimidation and communication to subdue the Exotic Beast and ultimately imprinting a mental mark on them. This is why sometimes tamed Exotic Beast become attached to their masters.

That means they couldn't suppress the Exotic Beast anymore; this is a bit of a trap! Could the Giant Strength Demonic Ape in the Ascension Tower have the same problem? The person auctioning off the Exotic Beast definitely has ulterior motives.

If Mo Yi knew that Jiang Liu had misunderstood him like this, he would probably want to punch him. This was a rare instance where he had put so much effort into taming an Exotic Beast, and yet the other person didn't appreciate it.

But the beast-taming spiritual power I've cultivated is different! It's already fused with the soul technique spiritual power, so how can it be the same? I wonder if it's even usable?

I'll try it out on the Giant Strength Demonic Ape at the Ascension Tower tomorrow. Then I'll continue cultivating. Even if it doesn't work, Jiang Liu will still continue cultivating; this technique, combined with the Soul Technique, is truly excellent. Now that he's unleashed the Annihilation by Thought, I wonder if Rank 9 Martial Practitioner can withstand it?

The next day, early in the morning,

Jiang Liu washed up and went to Leisurely Abode. As soon as he Leisurely Abode, the waiter's eyes lit up. "Young master, you haven't been here for several days. You must be busy!"

Jiang Liu nodded and sat down. The waiter quickly served tea and snacks and then told Jiang Liu about the exciting news of the past few days.

"Young master, are you aware of several major events that have occurred in the past few days?"

Jiang Liu didn't speak, but just looked at the waiter. The waiter understood and said, "Those from the White Saint Society have all been beheaded!"

Jiang Liu was slightly surprised upon hearing this, thinking to himself, "Is the Martial Prohibition Hall that fast?" He casually took out a piece of silver and tossed it to the waiter, who quickly caught it with a beaming smile.

"Also, the Holy Maiden of the Sun Moon Sect left, and those young masters followed her away."

Oh? That surprised Jiang Liu. So Xiahou Yi left without causing any trouble? Actually, it wasn't that Xiahou Yi didn't want to cause trouble, but he was frightened by the Martial Prohibition Hall, plus Ouyang Han's warning. That's why he left Wind City.

"The most explosive news is the fierce battle between the Deity Summoning Society and the Martial Prohibition Hall last night. Two Rank 9 Martial Practitioner from the Wind City Deity Summoning Society killed, and one branch manager from the Martial Prohibition Hall was also killed. Other eighth-rank Seventh Grade martial artists suffered heavy casualties as well."

"Good heavens, the fighting was incredibly fierce. It's said that the area where the battle took place was completely destroyed."

This explosive news truly shocked Jiang Liu. Judging from the current situation, the Feng County Deity Summoning Society doomed! It must be said, Luo Hui really has guts!

Then the waiter told Jiang Liu some other trivial things, such as Feng Yi and Pang Chunlong having another little showdown. Finally, he said that he hadn't heard about Wei Yi's romantic escapades for a few days before taking his leave.

After finishing his morning tea, Jiang Liu got up and headed to Ascension Tower.
