Chapter 709: Chapter 700: Negligence or Accident? (Seeking Guaranteed Monthly Votes!)

Yangh Yiguan had been searching for many years for the flourishing location of Ten Thousand Beast Valley, which was actually near the ruins of the Beast Taming Sect.

This was something Yangh Yiguan discovered unintentionally, and it was also the gathering place for this occasion.

Of course, where exactly Ten Thousand Beast Valley was located, Yangh Yiguan wouldn’t say until they arrived at the place.

However, since the gathering place was the ruins of the Beast Taming Sect, which had been destroyed over a hundred years ago, Ten Thousand Beast Valley must be nearby.

The ruins of the Beast Taming Sect were about one million two hundred thousand miles away from Qinglan Martial City, to the south, located within the largest mountain range in the True Spirit Domain.

It was called the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

A hundred years ago, the Beast Taming Sect was the only Sect established within the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. Before that, the mountain range had always been a forbidden land for humans,, and only the top Martial Artists dared to enter.

Because the Ten Thousand Beasts of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range were not a mere name, and the area was rife with poisonous miasma. Many poisonous miasmas could turn a Vein Forging Realm Martial Artist into bones in an instant if inhaled.

But even for Vein Forging Realm Martial Artists, if they dared to venture deep into the center of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range, they would likely never return. The Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range was also one of the most dangerous places in the True Spirit Domain.

Luckily, the ruins of the Beast Taming Sect were only on the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range; otherwise, Ye Zhen guessed, not many would dare to enter.

According to the appointment with Yangh Yiguan, they must arrive at the ruins of the Beast Taming Sect before September 17.

With the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten for transport, this was not difficult.

Thus, the journey was quite relaxed.

Moreover, having Fengh Qingyue, a great beauty of delicate charms, made the entire journey much more enchanting and delightful.

Half a month of being alone together also rapidly heated up the relationship between Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue. Except for the final step, they did all that was to be done—if it weren’t for most of the time spent flying, they could have gone even further.

Even so, aside from meditating for cultivation, the two of them would frequently be together intimately, and even the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten would sometimes hum discontentedly.

"Stop, someone might see us!"

Suddenly, a streak of light flashed before Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue who was being held by Ye Zhen, pushing Ye Zhen away in an uncontrollable blush.

"There’s no one there!" Ye Zhen feigned ignorance, looking around briefly before embracing Fengh Qingyue again.

"Really, I felt that person who just flew past glanced at us....umm...."

Fengh Qingyue hadn’t finished speaking when Ye Zhen embraced her again, whispering sweetly in her ear.

Having been intimate for so many days, Fengh Qingyue also began to enjoy the feeling. If there was a nice place, she probably would have succumbed completely. freewebnσvel.cѳm

"In broad daylight, you really have no shame!" Suddenly, a radiant flash appeared, and a figure abruptly stopped in front of Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue.

Fengh Qingyue, massively embarrassed, quickly pushed Ye Zhen away while Ye Zhen stared at the brocade-robed elder in front of him, full of anger.

Who could be so meddlesome in the world? There they were, thousands of meters high among the clouds, not on a busy street. Who were they bothering?

"Elder, we are not hindering you, are we?" Ye Zhen suppressed his anger as he spoke, recognizing the man as the streak of light that had just passed by.

As for Fengh Qingyue, her face turned a deep red.

"How not? My perfectly good journey was thoroughly spoiled by the sight of you two!" the brocade-robed elder said disdainfully.

"Hmph, shameless couple!"

After a cold snort, the brocade-robed elder’s figure flashed, disappearing from the spot, having scolded Ye Zhen and then continuing on his way.

Ye Zhen almost exploded with rage.

Being intimate high in the sky and getting called shameless by a passerby, that anger surged to his head.

Being scolded unreasonably, and the scolder even left without giving them a chance to retort.

With a flick of his Divine Sense, the magnetic field was enhanced around the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.

"Kitten, chase! This old rascal is infuriating!" Ye Zhen fumed.

"Stop, Ye Zhen, let it go. It’s just a few words!"

Fengh Qingyue tried to stop Ye Zhen, "What would you do if you caught up with him? Could you kill him? Also, his cultivation is not low."

Ye Zhen didn’t listen.

Fengh Qingyue’s expression grew stern, "If you catch up to him, it will surely end in a big fight, and it could get bloody. They’re just words, no harm done."

"Being scolded without reason, I can’t swallow this insult!" Ye Zhen said bitterly.

It wasn’t just Ye Zhen’s pride being hurt; if Ye Zhen had been alone, even if he were scolded a few times, he would have laughed it off given his magnanimous nature.

But the fact that the brocade-robed elder had scolded him in front of Fengh Qingyue, inevitably involving her, and that the scolding was without any grounds.

"It’s just a few words, just think of it as encountering a mad dog...." As she spoke, Fengh Qingyue gently soothed Ye Zhen’s chest, calming him.

With Fengh Qingyue trying to calm him like this, if Ye Zhen still insisted on pursuing, it would appear very petty.

"This guy, he better not let me run into him again!"

With this little episode, Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue’s mood was spoiled—even if Ye Zhen was still eager, Fengh Qingyue had many reservations and was less willing.

Luckily, they were not far from their destination.

Just as Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue were on their way, the pale-faced Head of the Inner Affairs Hall, Zhu Ling, had just returned to the Sun and Moon Divine Sect and was rushing to report to the Sect Hierarch.

This matter was personally overseen by Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong, and it took half a month to finally resolve.

This time, Zhu Ling had lost both his wife and his troops.

Not only had he lost Qingshui Pier, but six of his most relied upon Martial Slaves had also died, and he had also lost nearly two million Mid-Grade Spirit Crystals.

Lost lands, lost people, lost wealth—he, Zhu Ling, had suffered it all.

More importantly, he had lost face!

Good news stays indoors, while bad news travels a thousand li.

Although he had sealed off the news the moment the disaster occurred, by now, almost all the high ranks within the Divine Sect knew about it, which left him utterly disgraced!

Moreover, it wouldn’t be long before the mid-ranks within the Divine Sect would also be aware of the incident, posing a fatal blow to his prestige!

However, as long as he could mend his image with the Sect Hierarch, wielding great authority, he could recover the lost assets in a few years, and the lost Martial Slaves could gradually be replenished.

"Sect Hierarch, the matter has been resolved, and it absolutely won’t affect the Divine Sect’s reputation in the business world! Furthermore, because of the timely compensation, the merchants have only praise for the credibility of the Divine Sect. In just half a month, the Divine Sect’s Pingqing Dock has seen a surge in trade volume of more than twenty percent!"

Inside a refined house in the inner sanctum of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, Zhu Ling cautiously presented a Jade Talisman, which contained detailed accounts of the process.

Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong, however, did not look at it and instead coldly huffed, "Which part of the Inner Affairs Hall is responsible for the news about the Gen Earth Spirit Pearl?"

Instantly, Zhu Ling’s heart skipped a beat, his mind racing.

"Replying to the Sect Hierarch, it was the Earth Camp of the ’Earth’ department that discovered and reported it!"

"They only discovered the presence of the Shadowless Mountain Penetrating Beast, but not that it was the beast’s lair? Is this negligence or ... intentional?"

Upon hearing this, cold sweat immediately began to stream down Zhu Ling’s forehead.

The question posed by the Sect Hierarch was somewhat accusatory.

What shocked Zhu Ling even more was that through this inquiry, Zhu Ling realized that Ye Zhen held a higher place in Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong’s heart than he had imagined.

"Sect Hierarch, I have been preoccupied with external affairs these past few days and neglected this issue. As soon as I return, I will investigate and impose strict punishments!"

Zhu Ling was very cunning. The question posed by Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong was tricky to answer appropriately—answering ’negligence’ suggested evasiveness, and claiming it was intentional would be even graver.

Such a response would allow any subsequent report to placate the Sect Hierarch.

However, the reaction of Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong was beyond Zhu Ling’s expectations.

"No need!" Jian Qianxiong waved his hand dismissively.

Zhu Ling was taken aback.

"I have already assigned Nian Xinghe to take over as commander of the Inner Affairs Hall’s Earth Camp. You coordinate with him in the future!"

"Yes...."

After a pause, Zhu Ling hesitantly acknowledged.

When Zhu Ling left Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong, his brows were furrowed in deep worry.

Directly assigning someone to take over control of one of the three major intelligence units of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect indicated a clear reduction of Zhu Ling’s power.

Was this a punishment or a warning for him, Zhu Ling?

For a moment, Zhu Ling’s mind was in turmoil, but it didn’t take long for his gaze to darken again.

"Hmph, no matter what, the vendetta of killing my son must be avenged...."

.....

Two days later, riding the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue arrived at the periphery of the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range. From high in the sky, with their powerful eye power, a vast ruins came into their view.

With a sweep of their gaze, both Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue’s eyes widened in shock.

Because with a single look, they couldn’t see the end of the ruins.

This was from high above, where their powerful eye power allowed them to overlook a range of hundreds of li with no troubles, yet they couldn’t see the end.

"Hiss... this must span thousands of li? This scale, it’s probably comparable to the Qinglan Martial City, right?" After circling around the ruins once with the Cloud Winged Tiger King, Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue simultaneously gasped cold air.

"The Qinglan Martial City is so large, not only does it accommodate Five Great Forces, but it also comfortably accommodates dozens of other big and small forces.

"And these ruins of the Beast Taming Sect are almost as large in size compared to Qinglan Martial City. How powerful must the Beast Taming Sect have been a hundred years ago? And at its peak a thousand years ago?" Fengh Qingyue sighed.

"Yes, but such a large sect being eradicated so suddenly.....," Ye Zhen also seemed a bit dazed.

"Indeed, this has always been the goal I’ve been striving towards for a hundred years! I’ve always wanted to know who eradicated such a powerful Beast Taming Sect overnight, without leaving a single survivor!" Elder Yangh Yiguan’s voice rang out from behind.

"Young Hero Ye.... Master Fengh, thank you two for coming to support this matter."

"Elder Yangh!"

Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue turned around, only to see Elder Yangh Yiguan approaching with his leading disciple, Ma Yue, and two others.

They must have been the reinforcements Elder Yangh had requested.

When they saw who the two helpers were, Ye Zhen and Fengh Qingyue were simultaneously stunned.

"Is it him?" (To be continued. If you like this story, we welcome you to register to vote with recommendations and monthly tickets at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
