Chapter 146 The Li Residence Incident
After some training, Little Purple finally relaxed a little.
“I think that with the Kun Peng’s ability called the Spirit Wall Space, I can totally protect Five’s bone pillar,” it said to Ye Chen with a peace of mind.
Apparently, having something that concerned the life of its companion gave Little Purple a lot of pressure. “Then your next task is to quickly increase your combat strength to more than 50,000. With strength, you can see through the disguise better.” As the leader of the Feather Dragons spoke, it looked at the other Divine Beasts.
“After all, the awakening of Divine Beast Goulong’s consciousness cannot directly bring about help. For the next few days, the few of you with the water attribute will cultivate together. Before your combat strength breaks through to Level 100,000, the mutated beasts that have reached the Divine Beast Level shouldn’t hit a plateau. If there are any problems, I’ll guide you.” Its gaze became serious.
Ye Chen was certainly happy about it.
“This Million-Level big boss wants to take you in as its disciples. Be happy. Idiot, Little Purple, and Godly Sea Steadying Needle. The few of you will stay here and cultivate by yourselves from tomorrow onwards.” He looked at his few Divine Beasts and started making arrangements. “Sun God Envoy and Monkey will come with me. The two of you can probably read things in the golden feather.” After saying that, he swallowed the last piece of roasted meat and started to talk to the leader of the Feather Dragons about training. However, as they spoke, the five Divine Beasts gradually looked like they were struggling.
There wasn’t a big problem. It was mainly about their “food.”
The Spiritual Energy and energy provided by the ice array was enough to replenish the physical energy of the mutated beasts. Therefore, Ye Chen was the only one who really needed to eat. He roasted meat for his mutated beasts just so that they could use it to absorb the remaining energy of the other mutated beasts.
However, the leader of the Feather Dragons made a request just then.
“You can’t let any of them eat here.” Ye Chen found it a bit strange.
“I used to feed them mutated beast meat that I got from hunting. It’s beneficial to their combat strength. Why can’t they eat it all of a sudden?” he asked.
“In the outside world, all kinds of Spiritual Energy are mixed together. It’s the same no matter what they eat. However, the Spiritual Energy here is relatively pure. If you let them eat food with impure Spiritual Energy, it will lower their judgment of Spiritual Energy,” the leader of the Feather Dragons explained. “The key now is to help them increase their sensitivity to Spiritual Energy. Mr. Ye, you can’t let them be gluttonous.”
Ye Chen ignored the pitiful gazes of the mutated beasts, as if they were begging for food, and nodded heavily at the leader of the Feather Dragons.
“Don’t worry, with me around, I guarantee that tonight’s meal will be their last meal in this array!”
He immediately heard a grumble from behind him.
Meanwhile, in the main world, the news of Demon Flame Mountain had already spread to Fan City. Not to mention White River County, it had even attracted the attention of many people from other counties in the Mystic Region.
After all, once the news reached the county, there were even more people who had the ability to spread the news quickly. To this group of experts, crossing half of the county in a day wasn’t difficult.
Fan City became the nearest place to stay. In an instant, there were people going in and out of the city, making it quite busy. And when more people went to the original location of Demon Flame Mountain, there were also more versions of rumors in the city.
“Have you heard? The County Lord Residence of White River County has sent someone over. He’s also from the Yi family. I heard that he’s related to our City Lord’s family!”
“People from the County Lord Residence are nothing. I heard that the group of people who rested at the tavern in the market this afternoon were famous nobles in the Mystic Region! I heard they found out that Demon Flame Mountain was originally a mutated beast’s Mystic Realm and it somehow came back to life!”
“What Mystic Realm? I heard that it was an egg laid by an ancient Divine Beast. After being thrown here, it hatched on its own after many
years!”
“Ah, I heard that this egg was put here by a mysterious master. That person had quite a number of Divine Beasts with him. Seeing that this egg hatched, he also took away the mutated beast.”
“How can it be so unbelievable…”
The people on the streets were having a heated discussion. Behind this group of people, a nervous person was rushing past and even glanced fiercely at these people who were gathering and discussing.
This person was Li Min, whose house was robbed a few days ago.
It hadn’t been a few days since the robbery of the Li Residence’s underground palace, but the development of the incident had already far exceeded his imagination, making him feel that it was a knotty problem.
In fact, under the impact of the news, the incident at the Li Residence’s underground palace didn’t continue to cause too much of a furor. However, this was very difficult for the Li family.
Just as the outside world guessed, the Li family was indeed related to a certain big shot and had obtained many benefits from him. However, only a family member like Li Min knew the difficulties involved.
In fact, Li Min didn’t know when his family started to have connections with that big shot. That seemed to have happened a few generations ago. Until now, he only knew that the big shot’s surname was Yan.
And the last time this big shot’s descendant contacted the Li family was also more than twenty years ago. At that time, something strange happened in Demon Flame Mountain. In the end, the descendant of the Yan family, who was related to the Li family, issued two orders, telling the Li family to continue guarding the treasures in the underground palace and strictly monitor the situation in Demon Flame Mountain. Once something happened, they had to contact him through a special cultivation art tablet.
After issuing the orders, everyone from the Yan family retreated from the Demon Flame Mountain area and cut off all contact with the Li family. Therefore, Li Min and his father heaved a sigh of relief in the beginning. After all, no one knew what would happen if they cooperated with such an unknown figure.
Therefore, after the robbery of the underground palace, his first reaction wasn’t to inform the other party through the cultivation art tablet. Instead, he tried his best to hide the matter.
The things in the underground palace had been buried under the Li Residence’s backyard since a long time ago. Li Min had heard from his father that no one had touched the treasures in the past 50 to 60 years. Therefore, he also had some hope that as long as nothing happened to Demon Flame Mountain, the underground palace wouldn’t be exposed.
However, in just a few days, something happened in Demon Flame Mountain.
Before they could inform the others, the incident in Demon Flame Mountain had already spread throughout the entire county. It was even considered quite big news in the region.
In this situation, he didn’t dare to imagine what the other party would do to him. Therefore, he could only inform him about the robbery of the underground palace and the abnormality of Demon Flame Mountain through the cultivation art tablet.
According to the other party’s reply, their visit to the Li Residence was probably today.
Li Min had been wandering around Fan City for a long time. He wanted to make sure that he pleased the other party before he arrived so that his possible punishment would be less serious. However, he didn’t find any investigator who was similar to the members of the Yan family at that time. This made him very nervous.
“What happened?” Li Min muttered to himself as he walked into the house through the repaired back door.
Only then did he realize that something was wrong. There was a faint smell of blood in the air.
