Sage of Humanity-Chapter 466 464 Heaven’s Augury’s Injustice
Two Worlds City—when Lu Ye and his three companions hurried back, the entire city had already entered a state of battle readiness. Each section of the city wall was manned by numerous cultivators, all standing by in strict formation. Moreover, array cultivators had set up various Arrays outside the city, preparing to confront the enemy.
This was the last stronghold of the human race in the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain. If Two Worlds City were to fall, then the human race would no longer have a place to reside in the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain. This place would completely become the domain of those crazed demon beasts.
All the surviving cultivators had already arrived at Two Worlds City; those who hadn't made it were most likely unable to come anymore.
Having gone through a major battle previously, Lu Ye and his companions had expended a great deal of energy. Naturally, they needed to return and recuperate first; otherwise, joining the fight in such a state could very likely result in their faltering later on.
However, when Lu Ye arrived at the small courtyard with the three women, he was surprised to discover it was now occupied by more than a dozen unfamiliar cultivators!
Xia Qianqian and the others immediately became vigilant. It was not easy to have a place to stay in the crowded Two Worlds City, especially since this was acquired by Lu Ye in exchange for a significant gift. If someone else took over just because they were not present, it would be a great loss.
Lu Ye thought for a moment, then stepped forward, moving towards those people.
If he was not mistaken, these people should be allies!
Indeed, upon seeing the blood-covered Lu Ye, one of the elderly men among them instantly teared up, rushed forward, grabbed Lu Ye's shoulders, and excitedly cried out, "Young Master, are you alright?"
Young Master!
Upon hearing this title, Xia Qianqian and the others immediately understood where these people came from.
Those who would call Lu Ye "Young Master" could only be cultivators from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. It hadn't occurred to them that in this secret realm, they actually still had a group of natural allies!
Lu Ye had thought of this; otherwise, he would not have stepped forward earlier.
The mission he had received from Heaven's Augury upon entering this secret realm was to bring the jade thumb ring to Two Worlds City and secure a safe haven for the remaining members of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
When the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was destroyed, the survivors scattered to escape. Lu Ye and his companions were one group; there definitely were others who managed to escape as well.
Those waiting in the courtyard at this time were surely the people from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect who had fled here.
Over ten people, each at the Cloud River Realm; looking at the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, this was already a very formidable force. Especially the old man who had spoken to Lu Ye and another quiet old woman standing in the back, they seemed exceptionally powerful, and it was highly likely that both were from the Cloud River Level 9.
"I'm fine!" Lu Ye shook his head.
The elder examined Lu Ye up and down, ensured that there were no signs of injuries, and then felt reassured. His face then turned angry as he cursed, "That Liew Wuzhai is far too bullying! Our Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has just suffered such a disaster, and he sends the Young Master on such a dangerous mission; it's obvious he wants to see the Young Master in trouble, showing no tolerance at all, a disgrace to be the Two Worlds City Lord!"
The Liew Wuzhai he mentioned was the Two Worlds City Lord; the elder was clearly very dissatisfied with Two Worlds City sending the Young Master to exterminate demon beasts.
After cursing the Two Worlds City Lord, the elder then turned to Xia Qianqian and the others and berated, "Are you all good for nothing? How can you let the Young Master risk his precious life!"
Xia Qianqian and the others were speechless from the scolding. If it weren't for the fact that people in this secret realm were unaware that they were from the Nine Provinces, they might have argued with the elder.
"What, you still want to argue? Don't forget who raised you. If not for the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, you'd have died long ago," seeing that Xia Qianqian and others seemed slightly resentful, the elder couldn't help but start scolding again.
"Alright, alright, Great Elder, calm down," the old woman who Lu Ye was somewhat concerned about spoke up, "These young girls didn't mean it, but under the roof, one has to bow down. It's only our fault for being slow, causing the Young Master to suffer." Saying this to Xia Qianqian and the others, she said, "You all, apologize to the Great Elder."
Xia Qianqian and the others looked at Lu Ye with piercing eyes. Lu Ye felt like he was sitting on pins and needles and hastily spoke up, "Great Elder, let's just forget about this. It was me who took them out; it's not their fault."
The Great Elder, deeply grieved, said, "Young Master, you can't spoil these girls too much... Alas, our sect only has these few people left. I don't want to be angry with you all, just remember, you can't let the Young Master risk his life like this in the future."
Xia Qianqian and the others murmured in agreement.
The Great Elder's expression eased slightly, then he suddenly turned to look at Amber, who was perched on Lu Ye's shoulder. His dull eyes gradually shone with a strange light, "Where did the Young Master find this little beast? May I take a look?"
Lu Ye tilted his head to give Amber a nod, and Amber immediately leaped towards the Great Elder.
The Great Elder's eyes brightened, raising his hand to catch it. "So attuned to human nature?" After a thorough examination, it took him a while to return Amber. Smiling, the Great Elder said, "Young Master, you are quite lucky. Your natal demon beast had just died not long ago, and now you have tamed such an exotic beast. Congratulations, Young Master. This beast, according to the Great Elder, seems to have the bloodline of the Four Auspicious Sacred Beasts. Although it is not strong now, its potential is immense. If you nurture it well, its future achievements could be limitless."
Lu Ye was surprised, thinking the old man truly did have extraordinary eyesight and experience typical of someone from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, to be able to discern that Amber had the bloodline of a Sacred Beast. He had previously only suspected this, but after the Great Elder's words, he was even more convinced that Amber really possessed the bloodline of the Four Auspicious Beasts.
As for what the Great Elder mentioned about a natal demon beast… Lu Ye naturally did not understand.
According to Xia Qianqian, the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain truly existed in the past, and everything they were experiencing now had also occurred in the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, only reenacted by Heaven's Augury through mysterious means, allowing them to re-experience the events of this domain.
Thus, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect also had existed in the past, and so had the Young Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, only replaced by Lu Ye. Naturally, Lu Ye was unaware of what a natal demon beast was. If it hadn't been for the old woman speaking up, he wouldn't even have known that the elder was the Great Elder of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
When in doubt, ask. Lu Ye spoke, "Great Elder, how can it become my natal demon beast?"
The Great Elder looked puzzledly at Lu Ye, "The Young Master doesn't remember?" This was the most core part of the Beast Taming faction; how could he forget?
Lu Ye's expression was one of sorrow, "Suddenly faced with great changes, my mind is unsettled, and of late I've been confused, feeling like I've forgotten many things."
Xia Qianqian and the others listening nearby rolled their eyes...
However, the Great Elder couldn't help but sigh, "So it is, the Young Master has suffered." Saying this, he reached into his storage sack, rummaged for a moment, and quickly pulled out a jade slip to hand to Lu Ye: "This is the sect's Beast Seal Method, and also one of the core techniques of our sect. Young Master, you must keep it safe!"
Lu Ye solemnly received it and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, Great Elder."
Xia Qianqian and others around him stared wide-eyed, completely surprised that Lu Ye had managed to get such a great benefit from someone else in just a few words. Although they didn't know what the Beast Seal Method was exactly, it was evident that it must be related to Beast Taming.
In the Nine Provinces, the beast-taming faction isn't considered a major faction, but in the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, the Beast Taming faction is the mainstream school. The cultivators from the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain inevitably have a better understanding and excel more in the Path of Beast Taming compared to the Nine Provinces cultivators, not to mention that this Beast Seal Method comes from the strongest sect in the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain.
This kind of Beast Seal Method, if spread, would undoubtedly be highly sought after by cultivators of the beast-taming faction, worth a great deal!
This old man... can't be missed!
Xia Qianqian was immediately moved and spoke up, "Great Elder, we've run out of cultivation resources!"
The Great Elder, who was amiable towards Lu Ye, glared at Xia Qianqian: "Before you left, didn't the Sect Master give you a batch of Spirit Stones? Don't tell me you've used them all up!"
Such a thing never happened! Xia Qianqian cried inwardly, what kind of crappy Sect Master, she hadn't even met them...
The Great Elder turned his head and continued to look at Lu Ye with a pleasant expression, "Young Master, where is your spirit beast sack?"
"What?"
"Ah!" The Great Elder sighed, "Young Master, the production of spirit beast sacks is not easy; our sect has only a dozen, all handed down by our ancestors. They must not be lost carelessly."
Saying this, he took off a sack from his waist and handed it to Lu Ye, "Use mine for now."
Lu Ye blankly received the so-called spirit beast sack, momentarily at a loss.
Xia Qianqian and the others nearby were extremely envious!
Not to mention Shen Xiaomao, who had never seen such a thing, even Xia Qianqian, who had experienced many secret realms in the Cloud River Level 9, had never seen anyone treated so well in the secret realms.
Initially, she thought Lu Ye's identity as the Young Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was just a nominal title, but now she realized that he could actually receive tangible benefits!
Why him!
Why did a guy from Cloud River Level 2 get so many perks just by entering a secret realm, while she, from Cloud River Level 9, had to struggle for her life...
Just because he's a man?
Heaven's Augury is unjust!
Xia Qianqian felt like crying.
At that moment, the old woman spoke up, "The Young Master has just returned, let him rest first."
The Great Elder nodded, "Yes, Young Master, go and rest. We can talk more when you've recovered."
"Then I'll go rest now," Lu Ye spoke, and suddenly noticing several sharp gazes fixed on him, he quickly called out to Xia Qianqian and others, "You guys come along too."
"Yes!" Xia Qianqian and the others promptly replied.
Lu Ye faintly heard the sound of teeth grinding, although he wasn't sure if it was an illusion.
In the room, after closing the door, Lu Ye found a spot to sit cross-legged, then saw three figures line up in front of him, looking down at him from a superior position, each person's gaze filled with intense disdain...
"It's arranged by Heaven's Augury; I can't help it!" Lu Ye tried explaining, "Isn't this me bringing you in to rest together?"
"Divide the loot!" Xia Qianqian clenched her teeth; she had been bottling up her frustration.
"How shall we divide it?"
"You keep that spirit beast sack, but let me make a copy of the Beast Seal Method. Don't worry, I won't sell it. I have a senior brother from the Beast Taming faction, it might be useful for him!"
"I want a copy too!" Shen Xiaomao raised her hand.
Lan Ziyi remained silent, but her attitude was clear.
