Chapter 185: Chapter 163: The Eighth Level of Quenching Heart Art -1
"White Tiger Beast King, why did you breach the agreement between us and attack our Martial Marquis?"
A Grandmaster coldly spoke.
Roar! Roar!
The White Tiger Beast King growled lowly, full of murderous intent.
If not for the two human Grandmasters, it would hesitate to make a move.
The human Grandmasters exchanged glances, unable to understand the meaning behind the White Tiger Beast King’s expressions.
"Zheng Long of the Zheng family has been a Beastmaster and understands the beast language; let him communicate with the beast king," one of the Grandmasters instructed.
"Zheng Long has moved in another direction to offer assistance; we will have to wait."
Another Grandmaster stated, afterward addressing the White Tiger Beast King, "Beast King, if anything has occurred, we will cooperate. None of us will leave. Please remain calm."
Clearly understanding human speech, the White Tiger Beast King growled once more, slowly retracting its murderous intent before crouching on the ground, its gaze fixed on the humans.
Thirteen feudal lords’ grandmasters, in batches, had entered Kunwu Mountain from various directions to rescue the besieged Martial Marquises.
The Giant Ape was now also being held back by two Grandmasters.
The Marquises initially fighting the Giant Ape were seriously injured, even the strongest among them, Zhao Dongyang, had several broken ribs and looked pale.
Once all the Martial Marquises were safe, they called over Zheng Long, the proficient Beastmaster from the Zheng family, to communicate with the Giant Ape.
Suddenly, they understood why the third-level Monster King had become frenzied.
A Grandmaster made rounds, and soon, all marquis and Grandmasters from the thirteen feudal lords congregated together, facing the two Beast Kings.
In the crowd, Lu Yan saw Li Wenxin. The poison had been forced out of her, she appeared fine now.
"Someone entered the Crimson Jade Flower Sea and hunted down the favorite beasts of the Beast Kings dwelling inside."
"Didn’t we broadcast a notification that the Crimson Jade Flower Sea was off limits to everyone? Who has so audaciously disregarded our rules?"
The Grandmasters were deep in discussion.
Lu Yan stood nearby, listening to their conversation.
"A notification was sent forbidding entrance into the Crimson Jade Flower Sea, why wasn’t I informed?"
Lu Yan frowned.
Was it because the Zhao Clan had told him nothing, or is there someone playing tricks?
Instantly, a few figures came to Lu Yan’s mind.
Zhao Po, Zhao Yi, Zhao Hao.
Although Zhao Yi and Zhao Hao were dead, their relatives may still harbor resentment towards him.
Then there’s Zhao Po—his demeanor when he sought to purchase his place left much to be desired, clearly not a gentleman.
Of course, other members from Zhao’s Clan should not be eliminated from suspicion.
Because of Phoenix Scent and the quota, there must be people who held resentment and grudges against him.
However, if he were to receive the notification, he also wouldn’t dare to enter the Crimson Jade Flower Sea and wouldn’t be able to get Dao Food.
This really is a blessing in disguise.
Roar!
Roar!
The two Beast Kings were conversing with Zheng Long.
As Zheng Long listened carefully, his face gradually grew more solemn.
"The Beast Kings say that they implanted ’Immortal Bones’ into the Alien Beasts to see if they could cultivate immortal beasts, but we invaded them, killed several Alien Beasts and took away the Immortal Bones," Zheng Long reported to the other Grandmasters.
"Immortal Bone? Which bone from a fairy? Are there fairies in this world?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yan was filled with shock and hesitation.
This is a Martial World, right? Not like the immortal world he had read about in a past life. Are there really immortals here?
What form do the immortals in this world take? Can they achieve immortality and live as long as heaven and earth?
Various thoughts began to form in the back of Lu Yan’s mind.
"Did the Beast King see who entered the Crimson Jade Flower Sea?"
A Grandmaster from the Zhao Clan asked.
"They intercepted two people, both of whom were Martial Spirits and have been killed. Still, no Immortal Bone was found on their persons. The Beast King suspects there are more accomplices, and the Immortal Bone is with them," answered Zheng Long.
All the Grandmasters present wore grave expressions.
Martial Spirits!
There were actually Martial Spirits among the Marquises who entered Kunwu Mountain.
This is an absolute shock.
In the crowd, Li Wenxuan’s face slightly changed, but he quickly concealed it.
Fortunately, he was cautious enough to wait and observe. He didn’t enter the Crimson Jade Flower Sea on time, or else he would also be among the dead.
"What did those two people look like?"
A Grandmaster from the Zhao Clan asked.
Groan...
The Giant Ape let out a low growl.
"The Beast King describes one as an elderly woman, very old..."
Zheng Long described the pair according to the Giant Ape’s words.
Quickly, everyone was able to determine the origins of the suspects.
One originated from the Bai Clan of Qingfeng County, the other from the Ouyang Clan of Da’an County.
"Can either of you give an explanation? How can the Bai Clan and the Ouyang Clan possess Martial Spirits? You must have been hoarding the ritual methods to communicate with the Martial Spirits, " The Grandmaster from the Zhao Clan fixed his eyes on the Grandmasters from the Bai and Ouyang Clans.
The expressions on the faces of these two powerful clans’ Grandmasters changed instantly.
"Slander! How could Ouyang Clan have a method to communicate with the Martial Spirit? We don’t even know how Ouyang Xuan obtained her ritual method," The Grandmaster from Ouyang Clan immediately rejected the accusation.
"We, the Bai Clan, also don’t have a method to communicate with the Martial Spirit."
The Grandmaster from the Bai Clan also denied the accusation.
"Whether you have it or not, who knows?"
The Grandmaster from the Fang Clan of Qingfeng County sneered.
"Fang Tong, what do you mean by that?"
The Grandmaster from the Bai Clan’s eyes were filled with a chilly glare.
"You know full well."
Unfazed, the Grandmaster from the Fang Clan sneered again.
The two sides were on the verge of conflict, looking ready to fight. It was only when the Grandmaster from the Zhao Clan interceded that a battle was prevented.
"An unknown Martial Spirit appeared outside Lingwang City. Now, within Bai and Ouyang Clans, a Marquis has turned into a Martial Spirit. Is there a connection between these two events?"
Another Grandmaster from the Zhao Clan questioned in a frown.
