Chapter 517 - Complaints Back At The Sect (2/2)

So those demon beasts had discovered their existence.

We’re dead we’re dead we’re dead we’re dead!

Fatty was about to cry, with these rookies in the Foundation Establishment stage, any high level demon beast that came would be able to finish them off with a slap. Though he wasn’t scared and was able to hold his own against it, but he had to fend for the nine other burdens too!

“Hurry!” Fatty immediately set up an array formation and eased the suppression on them as he ordered loudly. “Run! Quickly run in the direction that we came from! Towards the sea.”

Upon hearing that, all of them did not have the time to think about what was going on and stood up with panic-stricken expressions, turned and dashed wildly in the direction of the entrance, some even forgot about sword-riding.

“Move together, do not split up!” Fatty could not help but loudly reminded those who were running too fast. Pity, tremendous fear had ruled, they only focused on running forward. Fatty then had to go and carry them back, protecting them to retreat towards the sea while a dense field of high level demon beasts trailed behind them.

What was this…

——————

Three days later, in the main hall.

Lonemoon’s mouth twitched as he swept a glance at the bunch of severely injured disciples. Some had their meridians completely broken, some had internal injuries, some even had their cultivation level go back to the Qi Refinement stage. Everyone looked pathetic and still in shock. Even Jian Xing was covered in wounds as he kneeled on one knee on the ground, seeming like he couldn’t stand.

“What happened?!” It was an ordinary training, how did things become like this in a blink of an eye? Were they on their way to having their sect wiped out?

Fatty was about to speak but Jian Xing spoke up first. “Master, it’s all because we weren’t skilled enough and could not go against those demon beasts, that’s why we were seriously injured. Please punish us.”

“All of you were injured by demon beasts?” Lonemoon frowned and turned towards Fatty who wore a miserable look too. “Fatty, weren’t you following them the whole way?” Why did things still turn out this way?

“Master.” Fatty wore an extremely guilty look. “There were really way too many demon beasts, and there were immortal beasts and divine beasts amongst them, I really couldn’t handle so many…”

“What about you, Shen Ying?” He looked towards the only completely unscathed person who had just took out a fruit that had a bite taken out of it. He’d checked beforehand, the demon beasts on the outer areas of the island were all low level ones, had they sought their own deaths and went to the deeper areas? Besides even if Fatty could not handle it all, the cheat should be able to!

“I already knocked off?” Shen Ying replied in all seriousness.

What knock off? Lonemoon was about to ask when a disciple with serious injuries struggled and fought to reply first.

“Master! Our injuries, were all thanks to her.” The one who was speaking was the disciple named Cheng Dong who’d been injured by a sixth-level demon beast at the very start. As he’d already sustained some injuries, Fatty naturally paid more attention to him during their retreat and he ended up as the one with the least injuries amongst the nine of them.

Lonemoon’s expression darkened at once, his eyes narrowed slightly, giving one an illusion of a brewing storm. “Thanks to who, you said?” Repeat yourself?

“It’s her!” Yet Cheng Dong did not notice his expression and pointed right at Shen Ying, resentment showing all over his face. “Initially it was very safe in the forest, there weren’t that many high level demon beasts. I don’t know what she did? But it suddenly lured packs of demon beasts over. It’s her! She brought the demon beasts out to attack us.”

“Hur…” Lonemoon’s smile became colder. “According to what you meant, she even has the ability to control demon beasts?”

“It must be her!” Cheng Dong said with a very certain look. “Otherwise why would so many demon beasts suddenly appear? Besides, there were so many of us and she was the only one who wasn’t injured, those demon beasts did not even attack her, she… she must be in cahoots with those demon beasts!”

“Ridiculous! Master…” Fatty was anxiously about to say something when Lonemoon lifted a hand to stop him. “Let him continue!”
