Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 365 - 140: Double Blessings, the Invincible Hall Master

Chapter 365: Chapter 140: Double Blessings, the Invincible Hall Master

The Inner City, though it’s behind the First Gate, is a place where wealthy people reside.

Li Yuan strolled down the street with five Black Hounds in tow.

Since he had decided to reveal his identity as a Sixth Grade Demon Tamer, he walked out confidently into the sunlight.

Sadly, after the initial shock on the streets, only fear remained.

"Mom, those dogs are so scary."

On the street, a child who was originally walking suddenly saw the five mountain-like shadows approaching and jumped up in fright, hiding behind his parents. Little did he know, his parents were also dry-mouthed and pale-faced.

As Li Yuan walked down the street with the five Black Hounds, everyone showed reverence and retreated, leading to a bustle of pushing and shoving everywhere.

The weapon forger of the Cui Family’s smithy has always been seen as a kind and respectable old fellow in their eyes.

But now, the five Demon Beasts in his hand were causing their hearts to palpitate.

"Ah!!"

Suddenly, a little girl let out a scream because she met the gaze of the Black Hound.

Those were bloodthirsty, savage, man-eating eyes.

The little girl, having never seen such a thing, screamed out in terror, her voice trembling, legs weak, slumped to the ground, her plaid skirt splayed out, and her snowy white legs all covered in mud.

Her scream triggered those nearby to turn and run.

The little girl’s eyes were filled with tears, only seeing the five ferocious Demon Beasts, as an unsettling aura drifted over from afar.

"Don’t come over... don’t come over..."

The little girl’s tears wavered, and her eyes turned red.

Li Yuan glanced at this little girl who was about the same age as his own daughter, and lightly slapped the Black Hound on the head, scolding, "No scaring people!"

The Black Hound let out an "ow," then stuck its tongue out with a silly expression.

Li Yuan walked over with the Black Hound to the little girl, smiling as he pulled her up, saying, "Don’t be afraid, they’re just a little bigger."

The little girl was pulled up by him, but like she was electrified, she wanted to escape backward.

But Li Yuan held her hand, pulling her closer, saying, "If you don’t believe me, touch it, it’s not fierce at all."

The little girl, trembling with fear, had a scared look on her face.

Li Yuan chuckled and suddenly lifted her up, tossing her onto the back of a Black Hound.

The little girl’s body stiffened like she was frozen, her legs clamped tightly to the Black Hound’s back, hands instinctively pressing down on the Black Hound.

The soft fur, the warm sensation...

Gradually, the girl’s curiosity overcame her fear.

Sitting on the Black Hound, she looked around.

Li Yuan called out with a smile, "These dogs don’t bite people, there are four more spots, don’t miss your chance."

Soon, a brave little boy ran out.

Li Yuan lifted him up and placed him on the back of a Black Hound.

After a little while, three more children came.

Soon, the scene of "Demon Beasts entering the city" transformed into a picture of "humans and animals living in harmony."

Li Yuan casually bought some snacks on the street for the five kids on the dogs’ backs, and soon the children became accustomed to it and started laughing and playing, while their parents followed around, some in admiration, some in awe, watching Master Li walk with the dogs, smiling.

...

...

The Red Creek Moss Garden is a patch of wasteland at the intersection of the Inner Court’s Double Gate and First Gate of the Divine Wood Hall.

This place was originally a residential area, but had long been relocated, left unused for the planting of a spirit grass named Red Stream Moss.

The reason for leaving it unused was that the soil conditions were yet to be met.

So, over time, it became a shortcut to some streets behind the First Gate, and was also the route Cui Huayin’s carriage took previously.

Now on this slightly damp and muddy surface with some fragments of rock, a certain spot has been dug up.

A broken, disemboweled corpse, and a decayed head gnawed upon, were placed on a grass mat.

"This is a Sixth Grade Powerhouse, only a Sixth Grade could remain uncorroded by the insects in the soil after several days," a man in green observed the mat quietly, arriving at a judgment.

This was Jing Liuqu, a Sixth Grade from the Inner Hall.

Jing Liuqu was naturally from the Jing Family, serving in roles involving patrols in the Inner City.

By now, the matter here was actually clear.

He was here to dig up the corpse and conduct an investigation.

Beside him stood a Sixth Grade from the Liu Family.

The Liu Family’s Sixth Grade looked at the corpse, clicking his tongue and remarking, "I never expected Master Li to have hidden so deeply, truly harboring ill intentions... the manner of this Sixth Grade’s death is so tragic, Master Li is completely unlike what he seems on the surface."

"Harboring ill intentions?"

Jing Liuqu slowly turned his head to look at the Sixth Grade from the Liu Family behind him.

The Liu Family’s Sixth Grade said, "I’m just saying casually, seeing this Sixth Grade’s head gnawed and heart excavated, speaking out of emotion, Brother Jing... don’t think too much about it."

Jing Liuqu then said, "Don’t speak recklessly."

Then, he ordered people to carry the corpse away and take it back to the Inner City.

...

...

Soon, this corpse appeared in front of a debonair man in white.

Cui Wuji, the Ancestor of the Cui Family, Elder of the Divine Wood Hall.

At this time, Cui Wuji carefully observed the corpse; evidently, this corpse was indeed killed by a canine Demon Beast, and Cui Huayin had already explained the situation.

Besides Cui Wuji, several ancestors from the Jing Family, Gu Family, Liu Family, Mu Family, Hua Family, and Xiang Family were also watching.

Among them, the ancestors from the Mu Family, Cui Family, and Hua Family stood on the side of the Gu Family ancestor, while the other three stood on the opposite side, seemingly distinct and separate.

Thus, at this location of the Divine Wood Hall, the ancestors of the several great families were all gathered together.
