Chapter 368: The Beast King Who Lost His Daughter
Xu Gang’s display of power was reported to Xu Fan by Grape.
The reason was that it severely contradicted the sect’s combat style.
“Haha, I’ll tell my silly disciple later; he should at least get a chance to become fertilizer,” Xu Fan said.
Xu Fan wasn’t bothered by Xu Gang’s brutal methods.
He knew Xu Gang had escaped from that destroyed fairy city and had witnessed the beast race’s indiscriminate slaughter of the human race after the city fell. His wife had even sacrificed her life to protect him.
After experiencing something like that, anyone would lose all sympathy for the beast race.
If it weren’t for his limitations, Xu Fan figured his silly disciple’s methods would be even more brutal.
Letting the beast race soak in molten rock was just a quicker way to give them a merciful death.
Xu Fan immediately sent a message to Xu Gang and quickly got a reply.
“Understood, Master.”
“A disciple who listens to his Master is always a good disciple,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“Grape, is there anything I need to keep an eye on in the game lately?” Xu Fan asked.
“The virtual game is running smoothly overall. We’ve discovered some talented Tian Puppet Masters, and some commoners are showing battle talent that even surpasses some of the sect’s top disciples,” Grape replied.
In front of Xu Fan, over a hundred small light curtains appeared, each displaying the information of a Tian Puppet Master talent.
On the two largest light curtains, there were details of a young boy and the middle-aged butcher.
Xu Fan watched the young boy’s battle scene, nodded, and moved the boy’s light curtain aside.
“A boy with perfect control skills; he should be a priority for training.”
After saying that, he turned to the other light curtain.
“This middle-aged butcher is the father of the disciple with the Sacred Body of Thunder,” Xu Fan said, carefully examining the man’s face. He then closed his eyes to perform a divination in his mind.
After a long while, Xu Fan exhaled a breath of turbid air and rubbed his head with a wry smile. “This one’s not to be messed with; he should also be a priority for training.”
“Understood.”
Xu Fan had initially wanted to check the background of this middle-aged butcher, but unexpectedly, his consciousness was pulled into a sea of thunder.
“If he’s not a reincarnated great being, then he must be an original true spirit reborn.”
“With such heavy karma, I wonder if I can handle it,” Xu Fan muttered with a bitter smile.
………………..
In a mortal city seventy-five thousand miles away from Lin Sen Fairy City.
“Run! Head northwest; there are immortals there who can protect us from these man-eating beasts.”
Such cries echoed throughout the large city of commoners.
Above the city, three Transformation Stage cultivators watched the mortals below with heavy expressions and sorrow in their eyes.
“Senior Brother Jian, all the children with spirit roots in the city have been collected into the palace artifacts,” one of the Transformation Stage cultivators said.
The leading cultivator looked down at the mortals and asked gravely, “Is there still room in the palace artifacts?”
“There’s still space for over a thousand commoners.”
“Let’s save all the children under six. If we squeeze them in, it should be enough,” the leading cultivator sighed. This was already the eighth large city for commoners they had encountered.
“Understood.”
The Transformation God cultivator who had spoken transformed into a wisp of smoke and darted into the large city.
The leading cultivator gazed into the distance and muttered, “Can they hold on?”
“We’ll take it one step at a time. With several elders from our sect here, we should be able to stabilize things for a while.”
An hour later, three beams of light shot away from the large city of commoners.
Hundreds of miles away, tens of thousands of beasts were sweeping through the surrounding villages of commoners, acting as the vanguard.
In a mountain range, a Core Formation stage cultivator watched the three returning cultivators, his eyes filled with hope.
“Grand Elder, I’ve brought all the children with spirit roots from the large city,” the leading cultivator said.
“I just received a message from Ning Dao, the appointed protector of Lin Sen Fairy City. Our sect is to relocate entirely to the vicinity of the new Lin Sen Fairy City,” the Core Formation stage cultivator explained.
“Really? What about the commoners outside?” the Transformation God cultivator asked.
“Gather all our space and star artifacts from Xiao Yun Sect and do everything we can to transport the commoners to Lin Sen Fairy City.”
“The appointed protector said that as long as they reach Lin Sen Fairy City, the commoners will be taken in.”
“The only condition is that we must protect them all the way to Lin Sen Fairy City,” the Core Formation stage cultivator added.
“That’s great! Our Xiao Yun Sect is saved!”
Similar scenes were playing out in many small sects.
In the Lin Sen Fairy City area, the Steel Wall was halfway through its construction.
At this moment, Ning Dao was staring at a message, feeling a headache coming on.
“Who killed the only little princess of the Moon Fox Clan? Wouldn’t it have been better to keep her alive for bargaining?” Ning Dao muttered in frustration.
He had just received a message from the Elder Council: the daughter of the beast king of the Moon Fox Clan had been killed here, and the beast king was furious, vowing to come personally for revenge.
Ning Dao read the message again and sighed. “It seems the Elder Council won’t be able to support us here.”
“I’ll have to rely on my brothers.”
Meanwhile, Xu Fan, who was observing from the sidelines, received a call request from Ning Dao.
“Brother Ning, stop nagging~~” Xu Fan said impatiently.
“It’s not that. I need to ask—have you killed a particularly special female fox demon of the Void Refinement stage? One that was quite beautiful?” Ning Dao asked.
“Uh, I think Xu Gang killed one. Why?” Xu Fan replied.
As he spoke, Xu Fan sent over the light shadow of the female fox demon from the Moon Fox Clan that Xu Gang had killed.
“Yes, that’s the one.”
“She was the only daughter of the beast king of the Moon Fox Clan. He’s likely to risk the Elder Council’s wrath and come through the natural passage to seek revenge,” Ning Dao said, his tone confirming the gravity of the situation.
“What’s the fighting strength of the beast race like?” Xu Fan asked. In the past, he would have fled with his sect at the first sign of trouble.
But now, he needed to assess whether Spirit Cut could handle it. After all, the Hidden Spirit Sect now had a Great Ascension Master overseeing it.
Ning Dao noticed Xu Fan’s expression—one that clearly suggested he’d bolt at the first sign of trouble—and felt another headache coming on.
“Their fighting strength is average. They rely on some unorthodox tricks, but nothing as strange as yours,” Ning Dao said carefully, trying not to make it sound too dire.
“Oh, that’s manageable. I’ll send Senior Spirit Cut to guard the Steel Wall for a while.”
Xu Fan wasn’t worried at all. It was just a Great Ascension Beast Sovereign, after all.
After ending the call, Xu Fan headed to Li Xingci’s courtyard.
The reason? The Great Ascension Master was entertaining the children.
Spirit Cut was holding Li Chufan, recounting his past glories.
“Chufan, did you know that when Grandpa was young, he wielded a Blood Spirit Dao knife that cut through the entire Demon Continent?”
“Foes like the Dragon Demon Sovereign, the Sea Swallowing Demon Sovereign, and the Poison Spirit Clan—if they made your grandpa angry, he’d end them with a single strike!” Spirit Cut boasted, holding Li Chufan in one arm and gesturing dramatically with the other.
Li Xingci watched helplessly as Spirit Cut filled his child’s head with questionable ideas.
