99 Another One For the Collection (1/2)
Chen Wentian let his disciples train on their own for a while. They each had a clear training method and their own plans. He finally felt comfortable leaving them to handle some overdue problems.
The news from the Immortal Association's grapevine was that the Lion faction and Eagle faction of the Beast God Sanctum had been engaged in a cold war ever since the beginning of the monster invasion. The remnants of the Snake Lord's forces had either abandoned the sect or been captured and killed. Nobody had heard anything from the Spirit Lords under Immortal Mamba of Shadow. It was like they had all disappeared.
The two factions were too busy guarding against each other and the four other provinces under their protection were mismanaged and in shambles. The Beast God Province was safe from the monster invasion but it was probably even more dangerous for cultivators.
Chen Wentian still had to pay back the Lion faction for all their crimes against his disciples. He was also curious about the death of Immortal Mamba of Shadow. He decided it was a good time to do some spying and dig into the secrets of the Beast God Sanctum.
The first thing he needed to infiltrate the sect was a person, a cultivator to be exact. He needed anyone that was a member of the Beast God Sanctum, preferably with the Lion faction. After announcing he was going to Cloudy Mountain Province to train his disciples, he slipped away from the Immortal Association's attention and headed out to hunt.
His target was the two provinces under the control of He Zicheng's Lion faction. They didn't care about the fate of the commoners and monsters had overrun large swaths of territory. However, this also meant rich gains and resources when they occasionally headed out to cull a few valuable species.
He couldn't fly around carelessly as his spiritual aura and residual spiritual energy would alert high level Spirit Initiate Realm cultivators or immortals of his trace. The chances of this were low but he wanted to be absolutely sure he wouldn't be suspected. He slowly made his away across the first province, marking down areas that had valuable beasts the Beast God Sanctum would want for food and resources. Beasts that cultivated to the Spirit Initiate Realm were incredibly valued for their meat, organs, and bones. Almost every part of them had some use to the Beast God Sanctum. Thus, he played the part of a patient hunter, waiting for his prey.

Chen Wentian's patience was rewarded on the fifth day as one of the signal traps he had laid down was triggered. It meant a party of powerful cultivators were going after one of the herds of beasts he had marked.
”Finally! I was getting seriously bored.” He muttered.
He flew to a safe distance before hiding himself inside a tree and activating his split shadow. While his body remained motionless, a black shadow rushed forward along the trees and bushes towards his target. He approached a clearing with a lake and saw a group of ten cultivators that were slaughtering their way through a pack of bristled bears.
”Raawwrrr!”
”Kill it!”
Beast roars mixed with human yells as the brown beasts were brought down one by one. The water was died red with blood and guts. The ground shook as the largest beast, a massive hunk three meters tall, crashed to the ground.
