The Master of Beasts-Chapter 796 - 254_2

"Ku Tou, your settlement has been around for a long time. I'm sure your tribe has some records that can still be found. Regarding the outsiders in the Sunset Mountain Range, those records must still exist, but you've lived for five hundred years. Have you ever seen those outsiders?"

Ku Tou thought carefully and realized that was indeed the case!

"Then why is the Nine Dragon Tribe summoning our tribal warriors!" Akam, seeing that Aksu, the old man, knew so much, quickly asked.

"Summoning warriors?" Aksu sneered, "Of course, it's to be cannon fodder. Don't think that just because I'm old and down on my luck, with few people in my settlement now, that I didn't once have a tribe that wasn't weaker than yours, Akam!"

"Really?" Akam looked skeptical. Aksu's power was similar to his own. He owed his Akam tribe to his father's hard work, not his own achievements!

"Believe it or not, but I was indeed a tribe leader. However, I had no background, and every ten or twenty years, the Nine Dragon Tribe would come to extract warriors—one thousand, two thousand. Each time these warriors went out, only a few would come back!"

"When asked what happened, they wouldn't dare speak, and after returning, few survived for long!"

"Finally, once I couldn't take it anymore, I secretly followed the group. I saw shadows covering the sky, enormous behemoths as large as mountains, countless small giants roaring on the behemoths, and our warriors were mowed down like weeds!"

"That moment, I understood. The warriors from our tribes were mere cannon fodder!"

"Wait, behemoths, small giants, and people different from you?" Chen Jiuge was puzzled. The more he learned about the Heavenly Gift Realm, the more confusing it became!

"I don't know, I've just lived long and heard a lot. But in truth, I've never left the Sunset Mountain Range!" Aksu said awkwardly.

It's not that Aksu didn't want to leave, but he was powerless to do so. As a mountain person, his existence was like an endlessly harvestable crop to the Nine Dragon Tribe, who wouldn't let go of him and his kind easily.

If your strength reached the point where you could forcibly leave, they would probably offer you unimaginable conditions to make you stay. The entire Sunset Mountain Range was essentially the kingdom of the Nine Dragon Tribe, and everything within was their private property!

"It seems, we need to see the Nine Dragon Tribe's conscription personally!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Chen Jiuge turned to look at Jialouluo and others who had appeared without notice!

"It's time to see. I'm curious about what these natives' top powerhouses are like!" Jialouluo smiled bloodthirstily.

"For our safety, it's necessary to understand!" Shuibing had no objections.

"I'll be going!"

Bai Li and Feng Cang exchanged a glance and shrugged: "The two of us old guys also want to see the New World's powerhouses. We've been cooped up for most of our lives; we should be a bit reckless for once!"

"Alright, there's still a year left. Let's try to enhance the strength of these warriors as much as possible. Even if they are cannon fodder, the stronger they are, the better their chances of survival. We can't have just a few of us left, can we?" Chen Jiuge joked.

But he wasn't worried about whether they might meet with misfortune. Even if some native warriors returned every time, wouldn't they be able to handle it better?

Waving goodbye, they parted ways.

.........

"Huh, so this is the New World? Doesn't look that great, does it?"

"But the spiritual energy here is quite fresh. Though it's not as abundant as in our Holy Land, it's still high quality."

Song Changwen fanned himself with his folding fan, commenting.

"Brother Song, you really are in no hurry!"

"I've heard that an Elder of your Soul Suppressing Lineage went missing here without a trace!" said Li Chengsong, dressed in a yellow Flood Dragon robe, with his hands behind his back.

"Brother Li, do you really think anyone here can threaten an Elder of the Daluo level in my Soul Suppressing Lineage?"

Song Changwen sneered. This New World was not one he hadn't visited before. Its spiritual energy was of high quality, but the concentration was average, making it unlikely for extremely strong beings to exist here. Not even a Golden Immortal, let alone an Elder of the Daluo level. What was there to worry about!

"Hmm? Someone's here?"

"There are people indeed, and quite a few!" Li Chengsong's face grew slightly serious.

"Crack" "Crack"

The sound of bowstrings being pulled echoed as figures appeared one after another.

"It's exactly as Sixth Sister said, that Chu Tianshu really does have reinforcements!" Calot exclaimed with joy.

"Who are you, and how do you know the name of Elder Chu of my Soul Suppressing Lineage? Where is he now?" Song Changwen's expression turned grim.

"Who am I? Your elder?"

Calot tilted his head and smiled lightly, "You'll know where he is once you meet him!"

"Go, catch them all for me. Try not to kill them. If any of them are related to Chu Tianshu, my Sixth Sister would be sad!"

"Arrogant!"

Song Changwen shouted angrily, his white robe billowing. The folding fan in his hand suddenly transformed into a massive sword as wide as a door!

"This is the protector of the Soul Suppressing Lineage? Really offbeat indeed!" Li Chengsong looked at Song Changwen's outburst in surprise.

The Soul Suppressing Lineage was naturally strong in soul power, specializing in soul secret techniques. This made the disciples of the Soul Suppressing Lineage susceptible to sneak attacks from some unsavory characters. Over time, almost all disciples among them had strong souls but weak bodies, though there were exceptions!

Song Changwen was one of those exceptions!

Spiritual Beasts can undergo bloodline mutations, and so can human cultivators!

The protectors of the Soul Suppressing Lineage were all such exceptions, born with extremely strong body abilities like Copper Skin Iron Bone, Innate Divine Strength, and mercury-like blood—all basic mutations.

The most powerful aspect was the Physical Body Divine Powers. Once a protector of the Soul Suppressing Lineage cultivates to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, they would additionally awaken their own Physical Body Divine Powers. These divine powers were at least considered superior divine skills, and combined with their innate affinity, made the protectors' bodies exceedingly formidable. In suitable environments, they could even defeat more powerful cultivators using just their physical power!

"Bang"

Punch after punch, the massive force of impact sent the surrounding natives and ordinary disciples of the Soul Suppressing Lineage flying back!

"Interesting, interesting, I didn't expect that amongst that soft guy's subordinates, there would be someone like you. This is so much fun!" Calot exclaimed with delight, thinking it would just be another boring capture game, but instead there was an unexpected surprise. How wonderful!

"Scum like you dare to slander our Soul Suppressing Elder, you truly deserve death!"

Song Changwen sounded fierce and fought hard, but taking down Calot was still quite unrealistic!

Watching for a long time, Li Chengsong couldn't help but shake his head lightly, "Looks like Brother Song alone can't take down this native. Oh well, we're all from the Nine Great Holy Lands, more or less like kin. Let me lend a hand to help you."

"Heh, in that case, the Soul Suppressing Lineage owes the Human Emperor Lineage a favor, right?"

"Brother Song, let me..."

Before Li Chengsong could finish, he felt a hand on his shoulder, no, it was like a mountain!

Rough texture, calloused palms, just resting lightly on Li Chengsong's shoulder, made him unable to move at all, as if his ease and pride were entirely confined.

"So, these are the outsiders?" Xing Yan seemed disappointed.

"When Chu Tianshu was captured, he spoke so arrogantly and confidently. I truly thought more powerful figures would appear, but they aren't even as good as a large dragon, leaving me truly disappointed!"

"Bang"

With a gentle press, Li Chengsong's body had a close encounter with the ground. Just that, all the bones in Li Chengsong's body shattered several times, and if not for the Immortal Body's strong life force, he might have exploded into a mist of blood!

"Capture them all,"

Xing Yan turned his gaze toward the terrified Human Emperor Lineage disciples, a rough smile on his face, "I suppose no one wants to resist?"

"Clang, clang"

The Human Emperor Lineage disciples obediently dropped their weapons, indicating they wouldn't resist.

There was no choice. The strongest Brother Li Chengsong was swatted to the ground like a fly, unable to move. What could the disciples do? Being obedient might work out better!?

"Bang"

Punching down Song Chengwen, Xing Yan glanced at Calot and said casually, "Seventh Young Master, you still need more practice!"

"Brother Xing, your advice is duly noted!" Calot respectfully clasped his hands.

"Hmm, let's go then!"
