Seeing those Divine Beasts and Super Divine Beasts from the Beast Trainer Guild, those who had chosen to distance themselves from the Spiritual Master Association felt an imnse relief wash over them. If they hadn’t made that decision, would their Contract Beasts not have been fated to be with them? Thank goodness they had left, thank goodness...
As ti ticked away, Shi Honggui, finding it too tireso to stand, had Pei Shaonan fetch a chair for him to sit and wait. Since Dugu Qianye wasn’t around, they could wait for as long as they liked.
"Master is not in a hurry?" Pei Shaonan said.
"He has always complained about having too much idle ti. Having a bit of commotion actually makes him more comfortable," an elder, hearing Pei Shaonan’s words, said.
Those elders were all either brought up or lured back by Shi Honggui, all loyal to him without fail at critical monts. This greatly pleased Shi Honggui.
Half an hour later, Bai Xinyan spoke up, "Shi Honggui, you truly don’t know what’s good for you. Since you insist on dragging the people from the Spiritual Master Association to join you in death, then..."
"So many Beasts, senior brother, are you welcoming us?" Just as Bai Xinyan was preparing to order an attack on the Spiritual Master Association, a woman’s voice ca from the sky.
Everyone looked up following the sound and saw a blue Phoenix speeding towards them, soon arriving above the Spiritual Master Association.
"Is that Fen Qingran and Hao Pengyou, and Fen Qingrou? Then, the other woman must be Dugu Qianye, right?" speculated the onlookers as they gazed at the striking woman on the Phoenix.
The people on the Phoenix all leapt down in front of Shi Honggui, bowed uniformly, and said, "We’re late in returning, disciples wish Master blessings as vast as the East Sea and longevity as enduring as South Mountain!"
"Haha, you guys finally did not forget your Master’s birthday. If you had forgotten, this ti I would have been seriously punished," Shi Honggui laughed heartily, paying no attention to the preparation of the Beast Trainers.
"How could your disciples dare forget Master’s birthday? We went to prepare your birthday gift," Pei Shaonan approached Fen Qingran and the others and said.
Yin Lang, in his black attire, contrasting with Pei Shaonan’s white clothes, also approached and said, "Indeed."
"Haha, very good, very good, all of you are my obedient disciples!" Shi Honggui was in great spirits.
At that mont, the mbers of the Spiritual Master Association spoke in unison, "Happy Birthday to the Association Head!"
The obvious disregard from the Spiritual Master Association angered the Bai Family. Before Bai Xinyan could speak, Bai Fenglan burst out, determined to address Dugu Qianye, "You wretch, you killed my beloved son, destroyed my husband, and our ancestor. How dare you show your face here? Hmph, today I will surely make you pay with your life!"
"Oh, granny, may I ask who your beloved son is? I’m sorry, I’ve killed too many to rember," Dugu Qianye said.
Because she had inadvertently entered a state of comprehension in her Domain, she had only awakened three days ago. Realizing that her Master’s birthday was approaching soon, they had hurried to the nearest Spiritual Master Association and used a Transmission Array to Mushroom City. Upon arrival, they heard about the Beast Trainer Guild surrounding the Spiritual Master Association, so they imdiately rushed over.
"Hmph, my son is Jin Fei from the Jin Family of Chichi, the one you burnt to death!" Bai Fenglan said, "Such a young girl, you look quite attractive, yet you possess such a malicious heart. Didn’t your parents ever teach you the principles of being human? You’re so cruel; it’s exactly why you would use the people from the Spiritual Master Association to accompany you in death! Let everyone say, for such a person, shouldn’t we kill her!"
"She looks quite alright, but how can she be so malicious!" a lady who had co to give her congratulations said. By this ti she had already moved to stand behind the Beast Tar Guild.
As soon as the woman spoke, others followed suit, accusing Dugu Qianye’s actions of being excessively cruel and vicious. So even advised Shi Honggui to hand her over to the Beast Tar Guild. They argued that it was not worth it to have a falling-out with the guild over such a person.
"My disciple can do whatever she wants to do, who dares to challenge that?" Shi Honggui retorted imdiately upon hearing what others said.
Fen Qingran, her fellow disciple, also stepped to the front of Dugu Qianye.
"This woman must have so sorcery; otherwise, how could she have such an influence over Shi Honggui and his disciple after only two months of apprenticeship?"
"Pfft—" Dugu Qianye, who had been silent, suddenly laughed. She squeezed past the disciples in front of her, walked up to those people, and said, "You must be the wife of the Jin Family Head, right? Yes, your son was the one I burned alive."
"It really was you, give back my son!" Bai Fenglan, incited by Dugu Qianye’s words, wanted to rush forward to kill Dugu Qianye, but she was petrified by the murderous intent in the eyes of Fen Qingran and the others.
"Shi Honggui, since your disciple has admitted to it, then hand her over to us. Otherwise, today we will massacre the Spiritual Master Association!" Bai Xinyan said.
Dugu Qianye looked at Bai Xinyan, who was stepping forward, and said, "You must be the president of the Beast Tar Guild, right? I said I killed the person, but I never said I killed unjustly. May I ask President Bai, I’ve heard that there is an unwritten rule on this continent—that those of lower strength should not offend those of higher strength, that Phantom-level beings should not offend Divine-level beings, correct?"
On a continent where the strong are revered, if the strong are offended or insulted, they are entitled to punish the offender at will. This is a rule tacitly acknowledged by the whole world!
"So what if it is?" Bai Xinyan, with a flick of his wrists, crossed his arms behind his back, gazing at Dugu Qianye.
This man had already learned of the woman’s identity; she was indeed soone who had recently arrived from the Xuanyue Continent. Fei’er was already at the Phantom Venerable Peak, and even if she had undergone Phantom Qi Transformation, she could not possibly be higher than Fei’er. With or without this rule, it was all the sa to him.
"With that being the case, then when Jin Fei harassed , trying to violate under broad daylight, does that an I am entitled to punish him as I please?" Dugu Qianye continued to ask.
"My son has been at the Phantom Venerable Peak for many years, and he’s only a step away from Divine Level. You are just soone who has recently ascended from a lower realm; how can you compare to my son!" Bai Fenglan said.
"All you need to do is acknowledge that such a rule exists," Dugu Qianye said with a smile, "I’m just afraid that with your characters, you might go back on your word when the ti cos. Fortunately, we have witnesses present today. You confird that rule with your own lips!"
Bai Fenglan wanted to say more, but Dugu Qianye released the oppression of an Interdiate Divine King, causing everyone present to change their expression, especially the people of the Bai Family.
It hadn’t occurred to them that Dugu Qianye was actually at the Interdiate Divine King level; Jin Fei bringing trouble upon himself by offending her was like seeking his own death! By coming today to trouble the Spiritual Master Association, the Bai Family’s actions were unfounded and unjustifiable.
"Hmph, even if your rank is higher than Fei’er, who says it was Fei’er who offended you? Maybe it was you who didn’t like him and killed him for it," Bai Fenglan’s father argued cunningly.
"Oh, that makes things even easier," Dugu Qianye said with a confident smile. "Madam Jin, do you dare to make a bet with ? Let’s each swear an oath to the heavens and earth. I say Jin Fei offended first, and you say I killed your son for no reason at all. How about it, care to try?"
