Chapter 544: Cry Of A Billion Beasts (1/2)

At one of the cities in the empire, a herd of beasts was lazing around in a pen. These were Long Furred Goats and were early stage Qi refining realm spirit beasts. They were rather docile and their meat and milk were considered to be a high end delicacy.

They were so easy to handle that even children could take care of them. While they did have quite a lot of strength, they wouldn't attack anyone without any provocation. They would even let the people shear their fur so that it could be used to make clothes.

Overall they were no different from normal goats, except for being spirit beasts. The caretakers were doing their daily chores in one of the pens when suddenly the goats all stood up in unison.

The caretakers were surprised but didn't find anything to be wrong. They thought something must have caught the beast's attention as they were sensitive to spirit Qi. But then, the goats all turned their heads in one direction, before raising them and letting out a loud bleat.

~BAAA~

It didn't stop there though, as more cries of beasts all over the city could be heard. Some people who kept spirit beast pets saw them suddenly stop and turn in a specif direction before letting out a cry.

”What is happening?”

”All the beasts are crying out at the same time!”

”Did something scare them?”

”Quick go and inform the master! There is some strange phenomenon happening.”

This scene repeated in nearly every place that had beasts.

At the Rainbow pill sect.

An orange feathered bird that was as big as a swan was perched atop a spirit fruit tree. It lazily pecked at the berry like fruits hanging on it and ate them.

A white haired elder was standing at the side of the tree and looked at the orange fathered bird with a smile on his face.

”Da Cheng won't you give me a feather, please…” the white haired elder pleaded. The orange feathered bird though paid no attention to the man and just continued eating.

”Just… just one feather will do. Please… pretty please…” The old man continued requesting to no avail.

The bird had no intention of listening to the old man.

~Sigh~

The old man shook his head and turned to sit down at the stone table that was placed nearby. But the moment he turned he heard a shrill sound.

~Qiyaaa~

The old man's eyes went wide as he hurriedly turned around. He saw his precious bird spreading its wings and letting out a loud cry. Looking in its eyes one could see a strange kind of fervor. The old man felt puzzled but a few seconds later, more such cries sounded all across the sect.

The old elder's brows furrowed as he looked around. A massive wave of spirit Qi came from his body as it spread around the sect.
