Draw a Circle to Make a Prison

The night was cool and still, in the backyard of the Mysterious Bookstore.

Ma Feifei lay lazily in a rocking chair, flanked by Bookstore employees, while three Sacred Beasts in human form lay in front of him.

"Tell me, why did you launch the spirit beast siege, and what was your purpose in infiltrating Dubian Town to Snatch the Orange Fragment?" Ma Feifei asked slowly, looking at the Tianshu Fragment in his hand.

The three remained silent, offering no reply or shout. The group of people standing before them was far too powerful; each of them could easily overwhelm the three of them. This made them somewhat regretful of having made such a fuss.

"Not going to say anything?" Ma Feifei wasn't angry. Pointing at the Nine Bend Spider King with only eight spider legs, he said, "That Sky-reaching Ape Monkey, take those spider legs off."

"Yes!" the Sky-reaching Ape Monkey said in a deep voice, striding towards the Nine Bend Spider King.

The Nine Bend Spider King's face turned pale with shock, and he hurriedly waved his hands, exclaiming, "No! I'll talk!"

The Sky-reaching Ape Monkey stopped advancing and stood in front of the Nine Bend Spider King, staring at him with Nine Bend Spider King monkey eyes.

The mouse and the fox glanced at the Nine Bend Spider King, then silently lowered their heads without speaking, clearly acknowledging that the Nine Bend Spider King had informed Ma Feifei of his purpose.

Even if they were stubborn, it would be pointless, because they were facing a group of people with unfathomable strength. They were destined to die unscathed, so it was better for them to surrender sooner rather than suffer endless torment.

"Speak," Ma Feifei shrugged. He thought these Sacred Beasts would have much backbone, but they confessed before they even started.

Nine Bend Spider hesitated for a moment, glanced up at Ba Jiu standing next to Ma Feifei, and then whispered, "Actually, our purpose in attacking Dubian Town this time is to reclaim the Ice Crystal Palace and then bring Ba Jiu back."

At this point, the Nine Bend Spider glanced at the Mysterious Bookstore, its eyes filled with Covet.

"Ice Crystal Palace?"

"Ba Jiu?"

Two voices appeared. Ma Feifei glanced at Ba Jiu, Yun Qingyang looked at Ma Feifei.

"Ahem, then why did you try to Snatch the Orange Fragment?" It was reasonable for the other party to Snatch the Ice Crystal Palace and the Ba Jiu. The former was a divine artifact that the dragon had coveted for 30,000 years, and the latter was Qilin that could promote the evolution of spirit beast bloodlines. Neither of these items were currently in the Nine Heavens Mountain, so it was reasonable for the dragon to launch a spirit beast siege. However, this topic could not be explored in depth, at least not in front of Yun Qingyang. Therefore, Ma Feifei changed the subject to the next one.

"Because those magical Orange Fragment can amplify the combat power of our spirit beasts. With the fragments, we can increase the strength of our spirit beasts and lead them to continue attacking Dubian Town." Since she had already said it, the Nine Bend Spider had nothing more to hide and revealed everything.

"Do you also have fragments on you?" Ma Feifei asked.

The three Sacred Beast exchanged glances, each painfully tearing off an Orange Fragment from their own bodies. Without the Orange Fragment, Ma Feifei could clearly sense that their strength had weakened considerably. Although they were still at the Sacred Beast realm, they had only just entered it, unlike before when they almost possessed the strength of a peak Sacred Beast.

The Sky-reaching Ape Monkey took the Orange Fragment from their hands and then returned to Ma Feifei, handing the fragments to him.

Ma Feifei took the fragment and asked with some surprise, "This fragment can actually boost your combat power so much, but why does it only boost it by one level when used on a fifth-tier spirit beast?"

If we calculate based on the power boost of the three individuals, a Tianshu Fragment placed on a fifth-tier spirit beast should have directly boosted it to a ninth-tier spirit beast, but in reality, it didn't.

"This fragment amplifies based on a percentage of one's own cultivation level, so even a first-tier spirit beast can only barely break through to the second tier with it." The rat who spoke was the only male among the three, and his voice was somewhat high-pitched, similar to that of a young man.

"What's your name?" Ma Feifei asked.

"Yun Bai Shu," the mouse replied.

Ma Feifei nodded, turned to the fox, and asked, "And what's your name?"

"Gou Yu Hu," the fox replied softly.

"Nine Bend Spider, Gou Yu Hu, Yun Bai Shu..." Ma Feifei pondered these three names and their true forms, feeling that there was a reason for their failures. What kind of nobodies were these...?

Of course, these are not the main points.

"Will you still attack Dubian Town tomorrow?" Ma Feifei continued to ask.

The Legendary Beasts hesitated for a moment, and finally the Gou Yu Hu spoke up, "According to the original plan, a group of seventh-tier spirit beasts will attack Dubian Town tomorrow, and there will be no less than fifty eighth-tier spirit beasts with fragments among them. However, we failed to collect enough fragments tonight, so Taiqing if the Flood Dragon Emperor will change the plan."

A group of seventh-tier spirit beasts and no fewer than fifty eighth-tier spirit beasts possessing Tianshu Fragment —this lineup is so formidable that only the bigwigs of Dubian Town could contend with it. This demonstrates the importance that dragon places on the Ice Crystal Palace and Ba Jiu.

However, Ma Feifei definitely won't give the Ice Crystal Palace and Ba Jiu to that dragon, so it remains to be seen who will have the last laugh.

Thinking of this, Ma Feifei put away the Tianshu Fragment in his hand, stood up and said, "Go back to Rest, everyone. As for them, let the town chief deal with them tomorrow."

The Legendary Beasts caused chaos in Watanabe and killed countless cultivators. They were also one of the planners of this spirit beast siege, and their sins were truly heinous. However, Ma Feifei was too lazy to kill them himself. As the mayor of Dubian Town, Zhou Wuji was the most suitable person to handle this matter.

The Legendary Beasts were secretly delighted that Ma Feifei hadn't killed them outright. Whether human or spirit beast, who would want to die if they could live?

"Shopkeeper, I'll stay and watch over them." Luan Feng was a little worried. Although this was Mysterious Bookstore, if everyone went inside to rest and no one was watching over the Legendary Beasts, the chances of them escaping were very high.

"It's alright, they can't escape." Ma Feifei pointed with one hand, and a wisp of purple energy transformed into a halo that enveloped the Legendary Beasts. This was a Divine Abilities and Spells called "Draw a circle to make a prison." Judging from Ma Feifei's current strength, his Divine Abilities and Spells definitely couldn't trap the Legendary Beasts, but those were the Legendary Beasts at their peak, not the Legendary Beasts that were on their last legs now.

A single, Draw a circle to make a prison is enough to prevent them from escaping.

Seeing this, Luan Feng did not insist and bid farewell to Ma Feifei before returning home.

The Sky-reaching Ape Monkey and Ba Jiu also rushed back to their rooms. Ma Feifei stretched and prepared to go back to his room to Rest as well.

"Ma Feifei!" Yun Qingyang, who had been staring at Ma Feifei, finally spoke up.

"Oh no!" Ma Feifei's heart skipped a beat, but her face remained expressionless as she turned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Let me take a look at my Ice Crystal Palace."
