Beastmaster of the Ages

In Myriadpath Valley, a thick mist roiled.

”Eminent Tiankui!”

Reverend Daolie was in a sorry state as he ran after the red-robed Eminent Tiankui, who had a giant eye on his chest. Reverend Qingyuan, Reverend Shujian, and numerous saints from House Huang followed behind him. Reverend Daolie’s ugly expression, red eyes, disheveled hair, and sluggish demeanor were proof that he was living a life worse than death. He was miserable and anxious. The pillars of reason in his mind had collapsed the moment Huang Daosheng perished and the man now resembled a wild beast. No one could stop him.

The impatient Eminent Tiankui suddenly turned around, staring at Reverend Daolie with eyes as big as copper bells as he growled, ”Are you done?”

”Eminent, did my son die for nothing?” Reverend Daolie burst into tears, falling to his knees.

Eminent Tiankui was speechless. He walked toward Reverend Daolie and slapped him hard. ”That isn’t for you to decide!”

”What do you mean?” Reverend Daolie retorted, gritting his teeth.

”Can you kill him? Yu Nu won’t even have a chance! With his abilities, you won’t be able to kill him even if he has no protection.” Eminent Tiankui glared at the disheveled reverend.

”Won’t be able to kill him...” Reverend Daolie sobbed.

”Am I wrong? Don’t do anything, just wait and watch. Li Tianming is now at odds with House Yumo. That kid’s so talented and likes showing off. You can’t be his only enemy. Those minor pathkeepers all want to kill him—do you have to make a scene?” lectured Eminent Tiankui.

”You’re right!” Reverend Daolie felt some small sense of consolation.

”You two should advise him!” Eminent Tiankui turned to Reverend Qingyuan and Reverend Shujian.

”Yes, Eminent.”

The reverends were speechless. It was clear that Huang Daolie couldn’t be stopped.

”I don’t have to do anything except wait and watch him die a miserable death!” Reverend Daolie finally came to his senses.

The three reverends and the saints of House Huang respectfully sent Eminent Tiankui off.

”Hmph!” Glaring at him, Eminent Tiankui shook his sleeves and left, the huge red majestic figure disappearing from everyone’s sight.

Reverend Daolie’s eyes gradually filled with gloom. Rising to his feet, he turned and stared in the direction of Suishen Cave, his eyes full of malice.

”Brat, it’s too bad you’ve offended so many people, or I’d twist your head off with my own hands!” Uncontrollable rage surged inside of him.

”Brother Daolie, it’s best we wait and see how things develop,” Reverend Shujian advised.

”Yes.” Reverend Qingyuan nodded.

”Fine....” Gritting his teeth, Reverend Daolie continued to stare in the distance, reluctant to leave.

”What’s that?”

Reverend Daolie suddenly saw a fireball flying toward him. He could already feel the unbearable heat!

”What?!”

The other reverends and members of House Huang also noticed the fireball that was clearly headed their way. The flames reached the sky above them and a face that resembled a fiery god appeared. It was sinister and terrifying, with angry eyebrows and a mouth as big as a brazier. It was neither human nor specter. The surrounding area seemed to have fallen into a furnace as every cultivator present felt the agony of melting astrons.

”Eminent Fen Nu!”

The three reverends were the first to react. They fell to their knees, hearts pounding with fear. The others quickly followed upon hearing that it was the man who protected Suishen Yao and Suishen Zhao.

Why’s Eminent Fen Nu here? We’ve already suffered a great loss. Our patriarch’s son just died at the hands of Li Tianming. He isn’t going to attack us again, right?

Just as those thoughts crossed their mind, a loud bang filled the air and the huge fireball landed on the ground at lightning speed! The three kneeling reverends were engulfed by flames. It was like they had descended into the fiery depths of hell.

”Eminent Fen Nu!!”

Reverend Daolie’s ferocious roar was accompanied by the disbelieving screams of Reverends Qingyuan and Shujian. The saints of House Huang were so frightened that their first thought was to escape. They crawled and stumbled away, their faces ashen. When they turned around, they saw three pillars of fire emerging from the fireball. It was obvious that the reverends were trying to escape Fen Nu’s grasp.

”Eminent! Please spare me. I know I’m wrong!” Reverend Daolie screamed in pain.

”Eminent Fen Nu, it was Huang Daolie who showed disrespect to the minor pathkeeper. It has nothing to do with us!”

”I have nothing to do with Huang Daolie!”

Tears streaming down their faces, Reverends Qingyuan and Shujian screamed in pain, using their foundation fortresses to escape Fen Nu. Reverend Daolie roared in unwillingness and resentment, obviously aware that Fen Nu would never let him go.

”Suishen Yao, you may be young, but you sure are vicious! You’ll die miserably! I won’t let you go even if I’m dead!”

”Suishen Yao!!”

At first, the three reverends were still able to struggle, but as time passed, their movements slowed. Fifteen minutes later, they had entirely stopped moving, burned to death by Fen Nu. The remaining cultivators of House Huang ran far away, sluggish from the shock of witnessing the eminent slaughter the reverends. Not even a speck of dust remained.

”Patriarch....”

The saints of House Huang burst into tears. As the flames subsided, a face appeared once more, ruthlessly staring at this group of people.

”Minor Pathkeeper Suishen Yao says that this’ll be your end if you dare go against her! You’d better behave!” With a thunderous boom, the flames swept over their heads, incinerating their hair.

”House Huang is finished!” Those remaining fell to their knees, miserably sobbing.

”If only we knew the consequences!”

”How can we afford to offend a minor pathkeeper of one of the three exalted houses? We’re just cannon fodder in their fight!”

”Who would give a damn if we died?”

Obviously, no one would. Anyone who annoyed Suishen Yao would definitely pay the price. Even Eminent Tiankui, who had just turned around, watched and did nothing.

After witnessing the tragic deaths of the three reverends, all he had to say was, ”The little girl sure is ruthless.” And without any hesitation, he left.
