Chapter 202 Killing Two Birds with One Stone, Yin Ming Chong’s Ruse
The spirit pet looked very old. It was lying in the cage with a pair of white ears hanging down. Its two grayish-blue eyes had an aged look, like an old man on the verge of death.
Yu Huang stared at the spirit pet, and her head suddenly hurt. Some distant and unreal scenes jumped into her mind
She saw a small baby that was wearing a pale pink baguette. The doll’s collar was embroidered with the word “phoenix.” She was fast asleep.
A strong white dog laid beside the baby’s bed. It squinted its eyes, as if it was sleeping.
Suddenly, the baby cried.
The beast immediately opened its eyes and placed its front paws on the crib. It gently shook the crib a few times. The baby grunted and fell asleep again.
Yu Huang stared at that Companion Beast. Her eyes, as if burned by flames, felt a wave of pain.
This was her companion dog!
What she saw just now was her childhood memory.
On the high platform, Yin Mingchong stood up and introduced. “This is a companion dog, and it’s a spirit pet that’s most loyal to its master. This companion dog is called Yu Huang, and it’s a companion dog that the Prime Master personally captured for his daughter from the Upper World.”
“Unfortunately, after the Prime Master passed away, his daughter also met with an accident and is still missing. This Companion Beast has long recognized that child as its master. Because it misses its master, it has fallen sick for many years and doesn’t have much time left.”
When he spoke up to here, Yin Mingchong glanced towards Yu Huang. It seemed like a casual glance, yet Yu Huang noticed that when he looked at her, his eyes were filled with suspicion.
WA
Yu Huang’s heart skipped a beat.
Why was this old man looking at her? Was he starting to suspect her identity?
Lin Jiansheng also noticed Yin Mingchong’s reaction. His eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression darkened.
Yin Mingchong continued, “It’s said that the bones of these spirit beasts will condense into a Spirit Gathering Pill after they die. Consuming this type of Spirit Gathering Pill can allow a Beast Tamer to raise their cultivation in the shortest amount of time possible. If a Scholar consumes it, they can raise their cultivation to the level of a Master. If a Master consumes it, they can raise their cultivation to the level of a Supreme Master.”
“To a Supreme Master, this Spirit Gathering Pill is a great supplement.”
After saying so much, Yin Mingchong finally got to the main topic. He said, “I’ll set this Companion Beast as a surprise prize. In the competition later, whoever obtains first place will obtain it!”
Hearing that, Mrs. Sheng frowned subconsciously and said, “Chief Yin, you said yourself that this Companion Beast is the favorite pet that the Prime Master gave his daughter. You shouldn’t give it away.”
Yin Mingchong’s expression remained unchanged as he said, “Even though it’s loved and pampered, it’s still only a beast in the end. Moreover, that child’s whereabouts are still unknown until now, so the chances of finding him are extremely low. This dog companion is a spirit object as well, so it wouldn’t be a waste of its life if it recognized another owner before it died, right?”
Mrs Sheng’s eyes turned cold, but she had nothing to say. Lin Jiansheng, feeling that things were not as simple as they seemed, frowned slightly.
Yu Huang’s hands behind her back suddenly clenched into fists. At this moment, Su Tingxue, who had been sleeping for nearly a year, suddenly woke up.
As soon as she woke up, she sensed the presence of the Companion Beast.
Yu Huang was slightly stunned when she heard Su Tingxue’s voice. “Senior Su?”
Su Tingxue hummed lazily and said greedily, “The Companion Beast is good.”
“Senior Su knows the Companion Beast?”
Su Tingxue nodded and said, “In one of the three thousand worlds, there is a small world that is very popular with pets. Once they recognize their master, they will pledge their lives to follow their master. These pets are condensed from the purest spirit energy. After they die, they will turn into Spirit Gathering Pills. Consuming the Spirit Gathering Pills will allow them to break through quickly.”
“But then again, once this thing recognizes its owner, to its owner, the Spirit Gathering Pill is a miracle pill. But to non-owners, it is a bomb.”
Yu Huang’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she asked with bewilderment. “What do you mean?”
Su Tingxue told her, “Let’s put it this way. These spirit pets have spiritual awareness. After they form a contract with their master, their soul will be imprinted with their master’s brand. The Spirit Gathering Pill that they turned into after their death still has spiritual awareness, so this Spirit Gathering Pill can only be consumed by their master. If someone else forcefully consumes the Spirit Gathering Pill, not only will it not increase their cultivation, but it will also counterattack the host and cause the host to go berserk.”
Yu Huang glanced towards Yin Mingchong when she heard this.
This old bastard had deliberately brought out the Companion Beast and only mentioned the effects of the Spirit Gathering Pill, but not the drawbacks of the Spirit Gathering Pill. What was his intention?
Yu Huang looked in the direction where Xuanyuan Jing was standing.
Xuanyuan Jing was the only beast tamer in their batch who had broken through to the level of Master. If there were no accidents, Xuanyuan Jing would most likely be the final victor.
Meanwhile, the Companion Beast had long acknowledged Yu Huang as his master. If Xuanyuan Jing consumed the Companion Beast’s Spirit Gathering Pill, he would definitely suffer a backlash from it and go berserk.
In other words, if Xuanyuan Jing lost in the end, the only person who had a chance of defeating him would be Yu Huang. If Yu Huang won, the companion dog would naturally belong to her.
If Yu Huang had consumed the Spirit Gathering Pill, there were only two possibilities waiting for her.
Firstly, she would suffer a backlash from the Spirit Gathering Pill.
Secondly, she would successfully absorb the energy of the Spirit Gathering Pill and make a breakthrough
If the first scenario were to happen, then she, who was reputed to be the only dual cultivator genius on the continent, would very likely become a delirious great demon.
If the second situation occurred, then her identity as Yin Huang would be exposed!
No matter how one looked at it, Yin Mingchong’s move was ruthless enough. He could kill two birds with one stone. He could destroy Xuanyuan Jing or Yu Huang. How scheming!
Cultivators in the Holy Spirit Continent were unfamiliar with this kind of companion dog. Only a small portion of them had heard of its existence. Even Lin Jiansheng and Madam Sheng knew very little about this companion dog. Therefore, no one had seen through Yin Mingchong’s trick. The young participants were all very excited. They looked at the companion dog as if it was a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Yu Huang stared at the Companion Beast and her nails pierced through her skin while digging into her palm.
Yu Huang was her companion dog. Once she got close to Yu Huang, Yu Huang would definitely be able to sense her identity. At that time, Yin Mingchong would definitely be able to recognize her true identity.
But she could not reveal her identity now.
Yu Huang took a deep look at the companion dog and silently looked away.
After Yin Mingchong finished speaking, his eldest disciple Yin Cangsheng spoke once more. “There are no rules in a chaotic battle, and there’s only one rule that requires everyone’s attention. We absolutely can’t allow anyone to die!”
“I hereby announce that the free-for-all has officially begun!”
Hearing that, 21 different colored beast forms lit up on the battlefield. Among them, the beast forms of Xuanyuan Jing and Yu Huang were the most dazzling.
These 21 people landed on the battle stage together. Because it was a chaotic battle, you would never know who was your opponent and who would ambush you from behind.
And at this moment, Yu Huang, who was a dual cultivator, as well as Xuanyuan Jing, who was a master, became everyone’s target.
In order to win, this group of people might join forces to attack Yu Huang and Xuanyuan Jing.
Only by eliminating the strongest and leaving behind the equally matched group of people would the chaotic battle be considered fair to them.
After landing on the battlefield, Yu Huang activated her second Witch Technique, Sound Auditory.
The red-furred ape’s hearing ability had a drawback. It could only help Yu Huang hear the thoughts of Beast Tamers at the same level or lower.
As for Xuanyuan Jing’s thoughts, she couldn’t hear them.
When Yu Huang heard the thoughts of the Beast Tamers, her expression changed slightly. She turned around and said to Na Luo, “They want to surround and attack me!”
Upon hearing this, Na Luo’s pretty face immediately became serious. “Leave it to me!”
After saying that, Na Luo immediately merged with her mother’s spiritual beast form.
After combining, Na Luo’s figure instantly became sexy and graceful. She didn’t need any assistance from Spiritual Energy to automatically fly into the sky.
Standing in the sky, Na Luo’s long purple-blue curly hair fluttered without any wind. She opened her eyes, and her light purple pupils stared emotionlessly at the people below the stage.
Na Luo raised her right hand and extended her index finger. As her lips quivered, she uttered three soft syllables
“Heaven Extermination Finger!”
Boundless light purple energy beams descended from the sky. It was like a huge mountain collapsing with a loud rumble as it pressed down on the participating disciples.
Seeing this, everyone released their energy shields at the same time while doing their best to resist the energy that was comparable to a Master’s rage!
Bang!
Bang!
The protective barriers of seven or eight disciples were shattered. Their bodies flew out of the battle stage and they were eliminated on the spot.
After Na Luo used her strongest move, the spiritual power in her body instantly dried up, and she fell onto the platform weakly. Seeing this, Yu Huang, Sheng Yang and Liu Lifeng ran towards Na Luo.
Liuli Feng was closest to Na Luo. He opened his arms to catch her.
Na Luo laid in Liuli Feng’s arms and said to Yu Huang, “I’ve helped you clear some of the obstacles. The rest is up to you.”
Yu Huang’s pupils trembled when she heard this.
She nodded vigorously. “Alright, leave it to
me!”
Na Luo said to Liuli Feng, “Focus on fighting. I’m fine.” With that said, Na Luo crawled out from Liuli Feng’s arms, shook her fishtail, and slowly left the battle stage.
With no one in his arms, his arms suddenly relaxed. Liuli Feng stared at his arms for a few seconds before turning around and joining the intense battle.
Na Luo’s desperate attack had eliminated nine participating disciples, including herself.
The 21-person free-for-all became a 12-person free-for-all.
Those who could stay on the battlefield were all core disciples with strong cultivation bases. Everyone looked at each other and finally decided to give up their previous battle plan and change to the 1v1 battle mode.
Without any hesitation, Sheng Yang flew directly towards the Yin Clan’s young lady called Yin Fu. The daughter of the Sheng Clan versus the daughter of the Yin Clan was very impressive.
Seeing Sheng Yang and the polar bear charging towards her, Yin Fu’s right hand reached high into the sky, and an ugly dark green octopus appeared above her head. The Green Ghost Octopus was Yin Fu’s beast form.
