183 To Get Along with Liu Li, One Needs to Be Good at Summarizing (1/2)
”There’s something I need to ask of you. Beast Master School has established a division on the Grand Cloud Mountain over there, and it’s an eyesore. Help me find a way to get rid of it together.”
While speaking, the look of Xiao Qi became incomparably indifferent.
Though he had already kind of expected that from the name Zen Master Dog Meat, she would be at odds with the Beast Master School that championed for animal rights, Wang Lu didn’t think that the contradiction between them would be this sharp.
On the outside, senior Xiao Qi looked delicate and pleasing to the eyes, with genial temperament and amity. Yet, she advocated for a destruction of a sect division; the most poisonous thing was indeed a woman’s heart.
”Hey, hey, I just want to get rid of this division. I never said I want to eliminate the whole sect. Don’t let your imagination run wild.”
Wang Lu shrugged. ”Mind telling me how senior become enemies with them?”
Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment and then lightly said, ”It’s not that big of a deal actually. Recently, the Beast Master School has been collecting thousands of spirit dog on the Grand Cloud Mountain to refine Spirit Beast Collar. When I came across those spirit dogs, I ate them. That’s where our enmity started. Then several of their Elders constantly chased after me, and after a few fights, the enmity became bigger and bigger.”
Wang Lu couldn’t help but exclaim, ”You’re his damn mother’s deserve it!”
Love for dog meat was just a personal hobby that stemmed from personal freedom. Eating dog meat in the territory of Beast Master School could be considered as a face slapping, an impolite act. However, taking into account that the Beast Master School had forcibly reversed the public opinion on eating dog meat in the area around Grand Cloud Mountain, it was also a just act. However, this fellow unexpectedly ate the spirit dogs collected by other people! Was there a difference between this and tarnishing other people’s wife at their home? Beast Master School was not a pushover, so how could they endure? It would be strange instead if they didn’t turn her into an enemy...
At this time, looking at this frank and genial senior again, Wang Lu couldn’t help but sigh, thinking that you indeed couldn’t judge a person by appearance. A person that could become good friends with his Master must have a distorted personality.
As for helping to get rid of the division? Frankly speaking, in this northern part of Grand Cloud Mountain of Cloud Region, Wang Lu was indeed figuring out how to gain prestige by dealing with the Beast Master School. However, he didn’t want to gain prestige together with someone evil.
After all, Beast Master School was still a righteous sect. In the past great war between Immortal and Demon, they had made a distinguished contribution. Though many of their sect’s ideas were extremely undesirable, and their people’s quality were also mixed—for example, their Elder Chi Hou that wanted to obtain Huahua by hook or by crook, which strictly speaking, was an evil act—however, you could only trouble them in secret; openly opposing them was not an option.
Seeing Wang Lu’s knitted brows, Xiao Qi smiled. ”How about this, you can just come with me to see the situation in the Beast Master School division with your own eyes. If you’re still unwilling to help me once we arrive there, I won’t force you.”
Hearing this, Wang Lu furrowed his brows even tighter. Does Seventh Madame mean there’s still more to this? Very well, let us see then.
——
Led by Xiao Qi, a line of people flew towards the direction of Grand Cloud Mountain.
As a good friend of Wang Wu, daring to challenge a division of Beast Master School, Xiao Qi’s magical power was naturally not bad. Visually, according to Wang Lu, she was at least a Jindan Stage cultivator. Bringing two people and a dog flying with her, she was only a bit slower than Wang Lu’s Cloud Wave Boat.
When they were close to Grand Cloud Mountain, Xiao Qi took the initiative to descend. After covering the several people of their scents and other traces, she told them through her primordial spirit, ”Follow after me. Do not make a sound.”
Xiao Qi’s concealing spell was very powerful; a row of three people quickly trotted through the wooded mountain and the Beast Master School Division’s boundary but didn’t trigger any early alarm of Beast Master School. Grand Cloud Mountain has been dominated by Beast Master School for about a year, therefore, though no mines were put on each step of the way, there were many mechanisms or arrays put in place to ring the alarm for intruders. However, Xiao Qi walked as if it was her own house. And even if they met patrolling disciples, they were still undetected.
Supposedly, Beast Master School has many spirit beasts, and spirit beast’s five senses were far better than common cultivators, not to mention the inside of the division should also be the most guarded place. However, even after they arrived inside the division, they haven’t been discovered by anybody.
And in a level area, Wang Lu saw a surprising scene.
Thousands of spirit dogs were clustered on that level area. And because it was small, they were packed like sardines. Specially made collar tied the neck of these spirit dogs. Beast Master School’s collar was supposed to be a magical tool that nourishes the flesh and primordial spirit. However, upon closer look, one could see a trace of life flying from the spirit dog to the collar and then converging to the gathering array at the distance. The collar was basically sucking the life out of the spirit dog! At this point, most of the spirit dogs on the mountain seemed to be dispirited. Similarly, the surrounding spiritual energy was also unpleasant. With Wang Lu’s Void Spirit Root qualification, he could clearly see the withered and yellow luster, just like the despair of fire of life that was about to die out.
Among the thousands of spirit dogs, many were wounded and sick. However, Beast Master School didn’t give them any treatment at all; they just left them like that. Even spirit dog with strong physique would meet a dead end if they lived in this kind of spiritless level area and constantly sucked out of life, not to mention those sick and wounded.
”…”
Xiao Qi turned and asked, ”How do you feel?”
”I think I can understand what you’re trying to accomplish here.”
Xiao Qi said, ”In order to catch the Immortal beast hatchling, Beast Master School gathered thousands of spirit dogs to refine spiritual treasure. This itself is not a problem. However, this knocking-on-the-bone-sucking-out-the-marrow kind of exploitation is... The Division Head of the Beast Master School used the technique of ‘sword moves with a side stroke’ to refine the Spirit Beast Collar, which was to extract numerous spirits with negative emotions. Therefore, they forced these thousands of spirit dogs into nasty situations, which would generate pain, despair, and other negative emotions from them. These were then extracted out through the collar and the special array, which became the material for the spiritual treasure. Luckily, the source material came from dogs and not humans. Otherwise, based on this situation, Union of Ten Thousand Immortals could not turn a blind eye to it; their law enforcement would’ve come and settled them early on.
Wang Lu slowly nodded, deep in thought.
Liu Li couldn’t watch the scene anymore, her clear eyes were glistening with tears. ”H-How come they’re so cruel? Aren’t they supposed to love spirit beast?”
Xiao Qi lightly smiled. ”Beast Master School people love spirit beasts? That’s a really big joke. Think carefully about the name of their sect. Is it Beast Master or Beast Lover? If they really love spirit beast, how could they call themselves Beast Master? How could they put collars on the spirit beasts?”
