Ch 32 – Shangguan Xi Hong
The eyes of the two had a look of surprise, and the old man on the side suddenly fiercely opened his eyes. Lei Yu’s speed was too fast, his speed almost matching a gust of wind. “Bang bang” sounds of metallic objects colliding, the swords those two had in their hands landed on the ground. Their bodies were also forced back five steps by the power of Lei Yu’s arm.
Lei Yu directly used his fists to collide with the two swords, one could not imagine this inhuman person was just standing there after the clash.
“Martial Sect had such a powerful junior? Which military group are you guys from?” The old man openly asked after seeing Lei Yu’s display of power.
“Dragon Group!” Without waiting for the old man to speak, Lei Yu then said: “Let go of the wild beast.”
“Let it go? Are you kidding with me? Isn’t your goal here to capture it as well? Such a valuable thing is not something only Martial Sect wants!”
Lei Yu frowned looking at Nuo Hu at his side, then looked at the old man and asked: “Valuable thing? What do you mean?”
“Ha!” The old man stroked his beard again then laughed: “Are you actually an idiot, when you were given the mission, didn’t your superiors tell you to capture it alive instead of killing it?”
At this moment, Lei Yu and Nuo Hu only now recalled it was indeed true, their superior’s order was to make their best effort to capture the wild beast alive, unless it was a last resort, they were not to kill the beast. Does this mean the wild beast possesses something of great value? Then why would the Shangguan family members not come themselves? They do not lack masters capable of it.
“You said it was valuable, exactly which part of it is valuable?” Asked Nuo Hu.
“There’s no harm in telling you, would I, a dignified Fourth Grade Celestial, fear you kids of snatching it away from me?” The old man then proudly said: “I will not speak of anything else, this wild beast, do you know its name yet?” Looking at Lei Yu and Nuo Hu’s expression, he was certain they did not know. He then said, “this wild beast is called an Ink Beast; it is an ancient magical beast, considered one of the four demonic beasts. Its sworn enemy is the magical beast Qilin.
Hearing these words, Lei Yu’s heart suddenly skipped a beat – sworn enemies with the Qilin. Would there be any relation to when he saw that battle scene in his mind amongst the backdrop of where the sky met the earth? Quelling the questions in his heart, he continued listening to the old man.
“The extinction of the magical beast Qilin was caused by the Ink Beast because an Ink Beast needs to consume the Qilin’s spiritual bead in order to survive to the present. And in the entire world, there aren’t any Ink Beasts left except for this one, so tell me, how valuable do think it is?”
Since consuming the Qilin’s spiritual bead allows it to live until now? So does that mean within the Ink Beast’s body, they have a longevity pill? Then that definitely means it is a heavenly treasure.
“That means I definitely cannot allow you guys to get it!” A distant voice could be heard, suddenly, a huge pressure came from somewhere. Lei Yu and the old man were able to tolerate it, while Nuo Hu and the two youngsters immediately frowned. Looking at their faces, it seems to be extremely uncomfortable for them.
The pressure gradually disappeared, followed by the emergence of a middle-aged man, dressed in black impressive clothing, his athletic physique unequalled. Just walking by Lei Yu, his aura gave off an oppressive feeling.
“Who are you?” Frowned the old man, feeling the immense strength of the newcomer.
“Shangguan Xi Hong!” The middle-aged man’s voice had penetrating effect, startling and scattering the surrounding beasts, showing how powerful his internal energy was.
“You are Martial Sect’s Shangguan Xi Hong?!” The old man said with bulging eyes, “despicable!”
