The Only One Who Escaped

The demonic birds all stopped moving, and their fierce attack fell completely silent at that moment.

Not only the demonic bird, but also the other contracted Demon Beast of the Beast Soul Sect were completely freed from their control at this moment.

When he sensed that the contracted Demon Beast, which had practically grown up alongside him, had suddenly stopped responding to his commands and calls, as if it had severed all connection with him, Jing Huan's pupils constricted, and he suddenly began to feel afraid.

"What's going on? Little Seven, Little Seven, why aren't you moving?" The previously arrogant Beast Soul Sect disciple looked at his motionless demon bird with a mixture of worry and surprise, and stepped forward to try to comfort it.

Realizing the situation was dire Jing Huan immediately cried out, "Don't go over there, it's dangerous!"

But he was too late. Almost as soon as the disciple's hand touched the demon bird's wing, the previously still bird flapped its wings and sent the disciple flying far away.

If Jing Huan hadn't noticed something was wrong early on and intervened in time to save the person, that person would probably have been seriously injured.

The sudden attack by the demon bird named Little Seven served as a signal. Immediately afterward, the other Demon Beast, as if by prior agreement, launched their attacks on their former masters.

Especially Jing Huan, who is the eldest brother, already had a large number of tamed Demon Beast, and each of them was very powerful.

When these Demon Beasts were at his command and served him, they were Jing Huan's most powerful allies. However, once these "allies" turned against him, they caused Jing Huan considerable trouble.

He managed to dodge the demon bird's attack, but another white, canine-shaped Demon Beast stealthily circled around behind him, preparing to strike.

Jing Huan had subdued too many Demon Beasts, and even though he was quite powerful, he couldn't handle them all at once.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Bai Kejin blocked the canine-shaped Demon Beast's attack with his sword, giving Jing Huan a chance to catch his breath.

Jing Huan hadn't expected Bai Kejin to help him, after all, they were the ones who ruined the three's plans and led them into danger at the Listening Tide Sect.

Bai Kejin also received his strange gaze, but he didn't look back. He simply warned in a cold voice, "Be careful of your Demon Beast, don't get bitten."

Jing Huan immediately snapped out of his daze and dodged once again the sharp claws that the contracted beast was reaching for him.

However, there are not many Beast Soul Sect disciples like Jing Huan who possess both powerful Demon Beast and considerable personal strength. Most people focus on beast taming skills and rarely train themselves.

Therefore, if the Demon Beast become unruly, the backlash they suffer will only be greater.

In the blink of an eye, a group of disciples were captured by their own Demon Beast.

Jing Huan did want to help, but he was too busy taking care of himself to have time to help others.

Helpless, Jing Huan could only watch as so many of his junior brothers and sisters were defeated by the Demon Beast. Listening Tide Sect only wanted living sacrifices, so even though the disciples were injured, their lives were spared.

After eliminating their master, the Demon Beast turned their attention to the disciples of the Array Sect.

The whistles grew sharper, and the Demon Beast's attacks became more ferocious.

The Beast Soul Sect and the Array Sect were really struggling to hold on. The number of Demon Beast and the disciples of the Listening Tide Sect was too great. Even using sheer numbers was enough to give them a hard time.

Seeing that everyone was about to be captured, Jing Huan gritted his teeth and shouted to the leader of the Array Sect, "Don't worry about us! You need to find a way to get out of here! Tell the two sect leaders what's going on here and ask them to rescue us!"

The team leader, clutching his only trump card, glanced around at the surroundings and ultimately chose to listen to Jing Huan.

He suddenly threw the high-grade formation-breaking stone in his hand into the air, creating a large hole in the barrier.

But the hole was starting to heal quickly, and the team leader, without thinking twice, immediately flew towards the opening.

Just before he set off, the demonic bird that had been fighting with Jing Huan immediately flapped its wings and chased after the leader.

Jing Huan immediately realized something was wrong. He was about to turn around to stop it, but his contracted beast seized the opportunity to bite his left arm and dragged him back.

The leader was naturally not as fast as the demon bird. Almost everyone watched helplessly as the leader was knocked back to the ground by the demon bird when he was just a hair's breadth away from the hole.

When everyone looked up again, the hole was now just a small opening. If the hole closed, they wouldn't have a second high-grade formation-breaking stone!

Just then, Bai Kejin, who had been hiding in the crowd, suddenly leaped up. The disciples of the Listening Tide Sect and the controlled Demon Beast all tried to knock him down.

However, Dong Fuzhu and Lan Fusheng, who were prepared for this, had already revealed their Law Artifact and stood in front of their companions.

The dense attacks rained down like raindrops, and at that moment, both the disciples of the Array Sect and the Beast Soul Sect unanimously chose to help.

Despite everyone's combined efforts to stop them, and thanks to Bai Kejin's excessive agility...

When He Lun realized something was wrong and tried to arrest the person himself, he discovered that Bai Kejin had already slipped out of the barrier through the narrowed gap!

His attack landed on the newly closed barrier, and no one was harmed.

He Lun's face turned ashen instantly. Fortunately, his men were quick to read the room and immediately organized a group to give chase after Bai Kejin the moment he escaped.

However, He Lun knew that with the opponent's Nascent Soul Realm cultivation, he would probably have already escaped far away using his Movement Method. If they left the sect now to chase after him, it would be impossible for them to catch up.

Realizing that his plan, which was originally foolproof, had once again been ruined by these foreign cultivators, He Lun's gaze toward Dong Fuzhu and Lan Fusheng grew increasingly unpleasant.

However, because of the chaos just now, Jing Huan and the others were completely subdued. At this moment, the square was in a mess. He Lun looked down at the group of young cultivators and felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

Jing Huan was the first to be tightly bound, and several Black Sheath were stuffed into his stomach. He desperately tried to vomit these little insects out, but it was all in vain.

"You're very unwilling, aren't you? You want to resist, don't you? What a pity. I originally planned to use this treasure on the day I conquered your Beast Soul Sect, but now you've had your turn to enjoy it." He Lun looked at Jing Huan, who was pinned to the ground with blood still flowing from his left hand, and his mood suddenly became pleasant.

When Jing Huan realized that the other party had revealed his covetousness for the Beast Soul Sect, he wasn't even surprised. He simply asked, "What exactly is that thing, and why...?"

"Why are your contracted beasts not obeying your commands?" He Lun smiled, "You call yourselves the Beast Soul Sect, and you even worshipped the Beast God tens of thousands of years ago, how could you forget so quickly?"

Jing Huan's eyes widened instantly, as if he couldn't believe what he was saying.

"What did you do? What did you find?!" Jing Huan's voice was extremely hoarse.

He Lun burst into a maniacal and triumphant laugh, "What, you can't believe it? What do you think I went to such lengths to hold this ceremony for? Of course, it's to welcome back the powerful Beast God!"
