Beast Taming Tower

Chapter 2417 Encounter, Fierce Battle

Boom!

The moment the thunder roared, two young figures descended swiftly from the sky.

The nearby low-level undead were instantly frightened away by the thunder and fled without looking back.

These two were none other than Chen Xuan and Fairy Miyu, who had emerged from the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge.

"Just here."

Chen Xuan's gaze swept quickly around, his expression turning extremely cold.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Miyu quickly replied, "Brother Chen, rest assured, I possess a very effective offensive and defensive formation. I will personally set it up here in a moment. If they dare to pursue us, we will ensure they never return!"

"Alright! Fairy, hurry up and set up the formation. I'll also make some preparations!"

Chen Xuan nodded.

With a thought, he released the Gold-Eating Insect Swarm.

Wow!

Under Chen Xuan's control, ten thousand gold-devouring insects rushed into the ground and disappeared.

Meanwhile, Fairy Miyu had set up a protective array and, after successfully testing it, stood beside Chen Xuan, ready for battle.

At that very moment, two more gusts of wind rushed from the distant void.

Soon, Jade Bone Daoist and Autumn Forest Fairy appeared simultaneously in front of Chen Xuan and Mi Yu Fairy.

Upon seeing Chen Xuan and Fairy Miyu, the Jade Bone Daoist, who had been covered in dust the whole way, immediately exclaimed angrily, "Fellow Daoists, you two are incredibly fast!"

"Hmph, what are you two doing chasing us? Do you intend to use us as cannon fodder? If you two really want to fight, we're ready to oblige!"

"I am a fairy who seeks fame," she said with a cold laugh.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan did not say anything more.

This angered both Jade Bone Daoist and Fairy Qiulin.

However, neither of them made a move immediately.

After a brief standoff, Fairy Qiulin said coldly, "Fellow Daoists, the reason we are pursuing you is that we have some matters to ask you. This matter is of great importance, so please answer truthfully! Did you two enter the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge not long ago?"

Fairy Qiulin looked solemn.

Her icy gaze was fixed on Chen Xuan and Fairy Miyu.

This made the two of them very uncomfortable.

"What do you mean by that, fairy? I said we only strolled around the entrance to the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls for a while. What do you two say about that?"

Chen Xuan frowned slightly and said casually.

Upon hearing this, the already furious Jade Bone Daoist immediately began to sneer.

"Fellow Daoist, you are merely an early-stage Golden Immortal. Please think carefully before you speak. We clearly saw the two of you escape from the depths of the Myriad Souls Gorge. How dare you lie to our face? Do you really think we won't attack you?"

However, Fairy Qiulin, upon hearing Jade Bone Daoist's words, quickly said, "Fellow Daoists, please don't misunderstand. Recently, some changes have occurred in the Myriad Souls Gorge. Many souls have suddenly disappeared. Based on our past experience, we can deduce that powerful souls have emerged in the Myriad Souls Gorge and formed a massive army of souls!"

"We were ordered to investigate this matter. However, before we could even venture deep into the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge to find out what was going on, we were hunted down by a large number of dead souls."

"Given our current cultivation level, it would be difficult for us to enter the Myriad Souls Gorge and continue our investigation!"

"We would be extremely grateful if you two could describe in detail what you saw in the Myriad Souls Gorge!"

Although Fairy Qiulin's tone was gentle, her attitude remained firm.

It even possesses an undeniable strength.

Although Chen Xuan and Fairy Mi Yu were only at the early stage of Golden Immortal, they could still see how unfriendly the two of them were.

The anger in his heart surged instantly.

"What do you two take us for? Why should we be obligated to answer your questions?"

"Gentlemen, if you truly wish to understand what exactly happened in the Myriad Souls Gorge, why don't you go to your sect and invite a powerful expert to accompany you?"

"We two have no obligation to tell you these things."

Fairy Miyu sneered repeatedly.

Her words immediately made Fairy Qiulin and Daoist Yugu's expressions turn extremely ugly.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan immediately said, "Gentlemen, to be honest, we don't know what exactly happened in the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge either!"

"However, I can tell you two that the number of souls in the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge is not only much less than before, but their cultivation levels have also dropped considerably."

"It seems as if many souls vanished into thin air overnight."

"As for what happened during this period, we really don't know!"

Chen Xuan's words were entirely true.

However, after hearing this, Jade Bone Daoist and Autumn Forest Fairy seemed somewhat skeptical.

"Fellow Daoist, are you sure what you're saying is true?" Jade Bone Daoist asked coldly.

"You two fellow Daoists can find out about this by going to the depths of the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge. Why bother asking me?"

"You... Hmph! Fellow Daoist, we're not three-year-olds; naturally, we won't go to the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge to die at this time. However, seeing how well you understand the affairs of the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge, how about you come back to the sect with us to report? Once we're there and explain things clearly, the sect will certainly reward you both handsomely."

"May I ask which sect you two are referring to?"

"Hehe, you two just need to come with us. As for the name of our sect, I advise you not to inquire about it. In this mere Tiannan True Immortal Realm, there is no power that is worthy of asking about our sect's affairs."

"Is that so? Fellow Daoists, you won't even tell us which sect you belong to, yet you expect us to come with you to report back? You two, do you really think we're that stupid?"

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and the immortal power in his dantian was already being secretly activated.

Upon seeing this, both Jade Bone Daoist and Autumn Forest Fairy gave a cold laugh.

“Fellow Daoists, we only want you to return to our sect with us to report back, that’s all. If you two refuse to cooperate, we will have to resort to other means.”

"If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me, fellow Daoists!"

Fairy Qiulin's words showed no intention of backing down.

Upon seeing this, Chen Xuan gave a cold laugh.

"Such arrogance! I'd like to see what abilities this fairy has that she dares to force us to leave with you?"

"Heh, you're asking for it!"

Autumn Forest Fairy's expression turned cold.

As she spoke, she pointed her delicate hand in the air.

A cyan flying sword, urged on by her, shot rapidly toward Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan, who was well-prepared, showed no intention of backing down.

With a cold laugh, he rapidly activated the Heavenly Dragon Overlord Body Technique.

boom!

With a single punch, terrifying physical power surged towards the flying sword.

In the blink of an eye, the incoming flying sword was blasted away by Chen Xuan's punch.

Upon seeing this, Fairy Qiulin, who was urging her flying sword, changed her expression drastically.

Before she could react, she was struck by the backlash of the flying sword.

A mouthful of thick essence blood gushed out.

This made Fairy Qiulin's expression extremely disheveled.

However, Chen Xuan showed no intention of continuing his attack.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his cold gaze fixed on the Jade Bone Daoist.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist was able to knock away Fairy Qiulin's flying sword with a single punch. It seems you do have some skill. This old man would also like to experience your abilities!"

Jade Bone Daoist sneered.

As he spoke, he swiftly swept the whisk in his hand toward Chen Xuan.

Long, thin hairs swept rapidly toward Chen Xuan.

Wow!

The moment these bristles rushed toward Chen Xuan, they became thinner, longer, and incredibly tough.

The moment it descended from the sky, it seemed to trap Chen Xuan in place.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan showed no fear whatsoever.

Instead, he looked at the Jade Bone Daoist and gave a cold smile.

"Fellow Daoist, with your abilities, you dare to attack me?"

hum!

Chen Xuan pointed his finger in the air, and a dark chain as thick as a bowl appeared out of thin air.

Before the feathers could fall from the sky, dark chains bound them together.

No matter how much the mane struggled, it could not break free from the binding of the dark chains.

"The Five Elements Rule Chains?"

Jade Bone Daoist's expression turned extremely ugly.

As he spoke, he suddenly snorted coldly, and the whisk in his hand suddenly trembled rapidly.

A powerful beam of spiritual light shot directly toward Chen Xuan's face.

Without Chen Xuan making a move, a cold snort suddenly rang out from the void.

Wow!

Suddenly, a divine sword appeared in mid-air.

The incoming spiritual light was shattered on the spot.

Caught off guard, the Jade Bone Daoist was greatly alarmed, and a mouthful of thick essence blood spurted from his mouth.

Upon seeing this, both Fairy Qiulin and Daoist Yugu's expressions turned extremely ugly.

"Fellow Daoist, who exactly are you? I am Qiu Lin from Mount Kongtong in Zhongzhou. This fellow Daoist is Yu Gu from the Wanfa Dao Temple."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Fairy Qiulin immediately revealed her identity.

Chen Xuan appeared calm on the surface, but his mind was racing, searching for information about Mount Kongtong and the Wanfa Taoist Temple.

After thinking for a long time, Chen Xuan still couldn't remember what the origins of these two forces were.

However, a strange light flashed in the eyes of Fairy Miyu, who was standing to the side.

Soon, her voice rang in Chen Xuan's ears.

"Brother Chen, the Wanfa Taoist Temple is a powerful entity in Zhongzhou comparable to the Seventy-Two Peaks. Mount Kongtong, however, is one of the Seventy-Two Peaks of the True Immortal Realm. Its status among the Seventy-Two Peaks is extremely high!"

"It seems these two have quite a background! No wonder they're so arrogant!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan suddenly realized what was going on.

However, given the circumstances, Chen Xuan showed no intention of making any overtures.

With a cold laugh, Chen Xuan said calmly, "I am just a rogue cultivator. There is no need for you two to continue inquiring about my identity."

"However, what I said earlier was not to deceive you two. Nowadays, there are no longer any particularly powerful undead in the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls. In fact, the number of undead is much less than before. As for whether any powerful undead have emerged in the Valley of Ten Thousand Souls and formed an undead army, I am not entirely sure!"

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, the expressions of Fairy Qiulin and Daoist Yugu became extremely solemn.

"If what you say is true, then something has probably happened in the Myriad Souls Gorge."

"In that case, we must report this matter to the sect as soon as possible."

"Although the incident in the Bone Mountain is far away in the Southern Immortal Realm, our sect's patriarch has attached great importance to it. We must give the sect an explanation for this matter!"

"If we have done anything wrong to you two just now, please forgive us!"

After Fairy Qiulin finished speaking, she took out a jade slip, said a few words, and then quickly activated it.

Upon seeing this, the Jade Bone Daoist dared not be negligent.

He quickly relayed the information he had received from Chen Xuan to the sect.

After dealing with these matters, Chen Xuan discovered something, and his expression suddenly became unusually solemn.

"Brother Chen, what have you discovered?" Fairy Miyu's expression changed slightly, and she quickly asked.

"Fairy, a massive army of undead is rushing toward our location."

"If we don't hurry up and escape, we might not be able to get away later."

Upon hearing this, both Jade Bone Daoist and Fairy Qiulin's expressions changed drastically.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, is what you say true? There has never been a precedent of the souls in the Ten Thousand Souls Gorge breaking free!"

“That’s right. I was ordered to inspect the Dry Bone Mountain, and I have never found such a situation. Could it be that you are mistaken, fellow Daoist?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan gave a cold laugh.

"Gentlemen, if I'm not mistaken, these vengeful spirits chasing after you are the same ones that attacked you, aren't they?"

"Hehe, when you see that army of the dead, you'll know whether I'm wrong or not."

As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, both Jade Bone Daoist and Fairy Qiulin's expressions changed drastically.

Soon, an undisguised look of terror appeared deep in their eyes.
