Chapter 53: Spirit Beasts Go Wild
Everyone was silently capturing their own Spirit Beasts, and various Spells were flying everywhere, yet no one opened their mouth to speak.
Even when they caught a Spirit Beast, they merely sealed its mouth shut, and no one acknowledged that these Spirit Beasts belonged to them.
On the way back, Senior Sister Leng Hanyue had been holding back her laughter. After returning to the room, setting up the Formation, and making sure no one was eavesdropping, she finally couldn't help but burst into loud laughter and said,
"Lin Mo, you are too vicious. This time, the Soul-Devouring Beast Sect completely has no secrets left."
Lin Mo retorted with intense words, "What kind of words are those? What are you saying? I am merely letting them face their own flaws directly!"
Shangguan Rouer said with a teasing look, "Junior Brother Lin, why don't you face your own flaws directly?"
Lin Mo shook his head and denied, "As a Righteous Path Disciple of the Jade Maiden Immortal Sect acting as an undercover agent in the demonic Sect, wholeheartedly devoted to the Sect, how could I possibly have any flaws?"
The few of them turned their heads away together and refused to look at Lin Mo anymore. A tree without bark will surely die, but a person without shame is invincible.
The few of them had no idea that a major event had already occurred inside the Soul-Devouring Beast Sect at this moment.
Deep underground in the Soul-Devouring Beast Sect, a Formation was emitting a sparkling brilliance, and all the Spirit Beasts were divided into two batches.
One batch slashed open their hooves and sprinkled their beast blood onto the Formation, while the other batch relied on their formidable Physical Body to smash into the Formation with all their might.
An Elder of the Soul-Devouring Beast Sect, holding a leather whip and wearing a vicious expression, was supervising the work. Whenever he saw a Spirit Beast that displeased him, he would deal it a fierce whip strike.
That whip was a Spiritual Artifact after all. Even for Spirit Beasts with thick skin and flesh, a single whip strike would leave them mangled and bloody.
The Flying Lion hugged its two wings in fear, and the Azure Wood Savage Bull beside it gave it a look.
Who knows how a cow's eyes could transmit information, but anyway, the Flying Lion understood it.
With a howl, it opened its bloody maw and bit off the neck of the Elder guarding them.
The other Spirit Beasts also came to their senses one after another, shrieking as they charged towards the remaining Elders and Disciples of the Soul-Devouring Beast Sect.
Relying on their sheer numbers, the Spirit Beasts killed the Elders and Disciples guarding them in just a few strokes.
The Flying Lion flapped its dual wings and flew to the highest spot.
It said passionately, "Comrades, we originally belonged to the forests, the high mountains, and the grasslands. These humans caught us and brought us here, treating us like slaves every day."
"They endlessly make us attack this lousy Formation and demand that we offer our own blood."
"When I first arrived, I was still in the Middle Stage of Core Formation. Because I donated too much blood, my Realm even regressed!"
"What do these damned humans take us for? Mounts? Tools? Or livestock kept in captivity?"
"Look at that Moon-Howling Wolf, with its drooping tail and submissive expression. Does it look anything like a wolf? It looks just like a Samoyed, and it has even learned to grin and smile to please humans?"
"And that Shadow Black Cat, which should have been the most outstanding hunter in the forest. Now? Every time a human reaches out a hand, it obediently sticks out its head to rub against it."
"Look at yourselves, do you still look anything like Spirit Beasts? Do you not yearn for the mountains and rivers? Rivers? Oceans? Grasslands? And countless female Spirit Beasts?"
"This Soul-Devouring Beast Sect, filled with decay, darkness, and despair, is built entirely upon the blood and tears of all our Spirit Beasts. Therefore, comrades, what do you say we should do?"
The Spirit Beasts below raised their hooves high and shouted at the top of their lungs, "Overthrow it! Overthrow it! To hell with the Soul-Devouring Beast Sect!"
The Flying Lion's voice grew high-pitched once more, "Today is the day! This is a day of profound significance, the day our revolution begins."
"Everyone must firmly remember that starting from today, we Spirit Beasts will rise up and sing our songs!"
"If we do not actively fight for rights and happiness, they will not fall upon us. From now on, we must use our sharp claws to shred them and our sharp teeth to bite them, letting these bastards of the Soul-Devouring Beast Sect witness the prowess of us Spirit Beasts."
"We will use a fearless spirit and robust bodies to tear through the darkness of the Spirit Beast Sect."
The eyes of the Spirit Beasts below turned red as they shouted hoarsely, "Tear through the darkness! Tear through the darkness! Shred the Soul-Devouring Beast Sect."
All the Spirit Beasts transformed into a torrent rushing outward.
They bit whoever they saw and killed whoever they saw.
Disciples with low cultivation hadn't even reacted before they were already torn to pieces by the Spirit Beasts!
Such a major event was the first to alarm Branch Master Zhang Yuanqing. Looking at these rioting Spirit Beasts, especially since the one leading them was his own Flying Lion, he felt his head swelling immensely.
Unable to care about anything else at the moment, he could only make a move to subdue the Spirit Beasts first.
Lin Mo and the others also heard the roaring of the Spirit Beasts inside their room.
Shangguan Rouer exclaimed, "Junior Brother, judging by this sound, a beast tide must have broken out."
Lin Mo thought for a moment and said, "Let's go out and check the situation first. After all, we are still nominally Disciples of the Soul-Devouring Beast Sect; don't let them catch us by the pigtails."
The few of them nodded and went out together.
Outside was already in complete chaos, with Spirit Beasts and people from the Soul-Devouring Beast Sect fighting together.
Senior Sister Leng Hanyue hesitated and said, "The situation doesn't look quite right. Should we make ourselves scarce and bolt?"
Lin Mo shook his head, "The rougher the waves, the more expensive the fish. Let's go help together and see if there's any grease to skim along the way."
Lin Mo felt that being an undercover agent was simply too awesome. Casually skimming some Spirit Stones from the Soul-Devouring Beast Sect, if calculated according to the Jade Maiden Immortal Sect's stipend, was roughly his stipend for several hundred years.
Senior Sister Huang Doudou was somewhat undecided, "Then are we running? Or are we helping?"
The few of them were still discussing when a Spirit Beast already rushed over.
A savage bull directly gave Lin Mo and the others a savage charge.
Lin Mo said angrily, "I feel like eating beef! Deal with these Spirit Beasts first, and figure out a way to deal with Branch Master Zhang Yuanqing later; anyway, the other party's intelligence isn't high."
Senior Sister Leng Hanyue was also holding back a belly full of anger. These Spirit Beasts actually dared to bully her directly; it was simply too much!
Seeing this, she grabbed the bull's horns with both hands, exerted strength with both arms simultaneously, and directly threw the savage bull Spirit Beast flying up into the sky.
Shangguan Rouer released her natal Spirit Beast, the Yellow-Coated Rat. Seeing that the tension was high, the little thing stopped scratching around, erected its small tail, and nimbly jumped about everywhere.
This little fellow still carried lightning on its body. As long as other Spirit Beasts touched it, their fur would stand on end from the electricity, and they would stick out their tongues and pass out on the ground.
Senior Sister Huang Doudou muttered incantations in her mouth, wielding her ice-type Spell with consummate skill. As long as Spirit Beasts approached within three zhang of her, they were all frozen into ice sculptures.
Lin Mo snapped his fingers with a confident look, "Let you all witness my Flying Sword killing art!"
Finishing his sentence, he took out the fishbone flying sword he bought from the Bailian Peak kitchen out of his Storage Pouch.
Senior Sister Leng Hanyue suppressed her laughter with difficulty and asked, "Junior Brother, your Flying Sword has quite a unique shape, doesn't it?"
Lin Mo glared at her, "Mind your own business! Anyway, as long as it works!"
As he spoke, his Divine Sense attached to the fishbone flying sword, transforming it into a streak of light. Before those Spirit Beasts could react, they were already knocked dizzy by the fish head.
