On the street, it was pitch black, with only a faint moonlight casting onto the road.
Wu City is not like Hu Capital, the Great Capital City; here at night, there isn’t a soul in sight, nor any Lighting Magic Arrays, yet that bizarre sound still occasionally cos through.
Clip-clop, as if it’s the sound of beast hooves.
Bo Bo and Little Yingying both have pretty good eyesight.
Especially Bo Bo, she caught sight of it with just a glance; even on the pitch-black street, she saw a black Demon Beast walking over.
That Demon Beast had a body covered in pitch-black skin, with only two green eyes gleaming in the night.
Bo Bo, fearing she couldn’t see clearly, opened the window a bit more, her little head already sticking out.
"There are people? Both n and won." Little Yingying also climbed up to the window together with Bo Bo.
The appearance of the black Demon Beast was peculiar, with bat-shaped wings, four legs, and on its back was a black-armored Martial Artist.
Following behind that Demon Beast were so won and n.
These young n and won were aged between their teens and twenties, dressed in thin clothes, either beautiful or handso, appearing to be mbers of the Sky Fox Clan.
But these people walked with expressionless faces, shackles on their feet, barefoot and with disheveled hair, following the Demon Beast and Martial Artist, passing through the street.
There were quite a few of them, probably around twenty people.
"In the middle of the night, where are these people heading? Why do they look so strange?" Bo Bo and Little Yingying beca even more curious, their bodies mostly out the window now.
At this mont, the black Demon Beast suddenly let out a strange call and raised its head.
Its eerie green eyes swiftly caught sight of Bo Bo and Little Yingying at the window.
"Not good, we’ve been spotted." Bo Bo and Little Yingying were startled, panicking as they tried to shut the window.
But then, they both realized they couldn’t move their hands, and not only their hands, their entire bodies seed to be immobilized, unable to even make a sound.
"Oh no, we’re dood." Bo Bo’s eyes frantically darted around, desperately calling out to her master in her mind.
But Yun Sheng, in a ditation state, critically didn’t hear Bo Bo’s cries for help.
"Two little girls?" The Martial Artist riding on the black Demon Beast strangely floated in mid-air.
He approached the window and took a look at Bo Bo and Little Yingying.
The two little girls were very young, but both Bo Bo and Little Yingying were really cute.
Especially Bo Bo’s hair color and appearance, which were quite rare on the continent.
These two little girls, although young now, would certainly grow to be stunning beauties; if taken back, Lady Rong would undoubtedly like them.
The Martial Artist, with hands like giant fans, effortlessly grabbed Bo Bo and Little Yingying, taking them away, leaving the inn’s window coldly wide open.
Around dawn, Yun Sheng withdrew her Divine Sense from the Inheritance Pillar.
She slowly exhaled a turbid breath.
"It will probably take a few more days to fully comprehend this Inheritance Pillar." A hint of contemplation flashed in Yun Sheng’s eyes.
At this mont, Boss Peng Yu’s anxious voice ca from outside the door.
"Master, are Bo Bo and Little Yingying in your room?" Boss Peng Yu had gotten up early but didn’t see the two little ones.
Yun Sheng imdiately felt a tightness in her heart, worrying the two little ones might have caused so trouble.
She quickly went with Boss Peng Yu to Bo Bo and Little Yingying’s room.
Inside the room, everything was neat and there were no signs of a struggle, just the window left open.
Hearing there were guests missing in the room, the Shopkeeper hurried over.
"Oh, guests, how can you be so careless? I warned you yesterday that no matter what happens outside at midnight, you should remain silent." The Shopkeeper’s face looked like a bitter lon.
"Shopkeeper, what exactly happened last night? Who took away the two children traveling with ?" Yun Sheng questioned the Shopkeeper.
The Shopkeeper stamred, refusing to say anything.
"You bastard, speak now, or I’ll kill you right here!" Boss Peng Yu grabbed the Shopkeeper.
"Boss Peng Yu, no need to rush, let handle it." Yun Sheng’s golden eyes flashed, and the Shopkeeper suddenly felt a pleasant and lodious voice in his mind.
Soon, the Shopkeeper was standing there in a daze, having clearly fallen under Yun Sheng’s Corpse Puppetry.
"Shopkeeper, I’ll ask a question, and you’ll answer. What exactly happened in Wu City?" Yun Sheng interrogated, knowing the Shopkeeper certainly knew sothing.
"Dear guests, since you are new here, you might not know the situation around here. The Youdu area is not peaceful, frequently experiencing Beast Tides. About two or three years ago, a mysterious force appeared, claiming to be the Beast King, able to safeguard the peace of the Youdu area. Every ti a Beast Tide occurred, the Beast King would help drive away the Demon Beasts." The Shopkeeper spoke of the Beast Tides with reverence in his expression.
Youdu is located in the northernmost part of the Sky Fox Tribe Country; this area is filled with mountains, forests, and lakes, along with nurous Demon Beasts.
Youdu is impoverished, struggling even to pay the basic wages of the City Governor’s army, leading to decayed city walls and insufficient armants. Once a Beast Tide occurs, only the people suffer.
The appearance of the Beast King brought hope to the Youdu populace.
"The Beast King selects so young and beautiful boys and girls from the populace to serve under him, protecting the safety of the neighbors." The Shopkeeper spoke of the Beast King with sincere admiration, his eyes filled with devotion.
"Beast King? Isn’t Youdu a city under the Sky Fox Tribe Country? Shouldn’t Youdu report to Hu Capital for assistance in tis of difficulty?" Yun Sheng wondered.
"Hu Capital hasn’t cared about Youdu’s fate for ages. Even the Heavenly Fox Saintess hasn’t co to Youdu for decades. When Beast Tides happened before, people would go to the Sky Fox Temple to pray, but it was all to no avail." The Shopkeeper’s voice was resigned.
He had family and friends who once trusted Hu Capital and the Heavenly Fox Saintess, but Hu Capital’s indifference disappointed them, leaving people to fend for themselves, leading the populace to choose to worship the so-called Beast King.
Wu City long no longer has the Sky Fox Temple; there now only stands the Beast King Temple.
Whenever people have desires, they go to the Beast King Temple to offer incense and bows, trusting the Beast King to bless them.
"So according to you, my two partners who disappeared last night are related to the Beast King?" Yun Sheng harbored a few doubts about the Beast King, unsure whether he was good or bad.
But if Bo Bo and Little Yingying’s disappearance is connected to the Beast King, then she must go to this so-called Beast King.
