Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

Chapter 409 How did you see through it?

Ye Bai knocked on the door slowly and deliberately, and the door made a knocking sound.

Through the Eye of Truth, he could sense that there was an extremely powerful demon inside the office.

There was another person inside, but he looked like he was in grave danger.

A dagger had been plunged into his heart, and judging from his flat abdomen, he was already dead.

Blood flowed from the president of the Pet Guild.

The succubus turned around and frowned.

"What a jinx! I just killed you, and someone's already walking in?"

"I never imagined I'd have to bite the bullet and drink your blood."

"For someone as old and frail as you, your blood tastes like something rotten."

“I have to be very careful every time.”

She spread her large bat wings, which were covered with incredibly sharp barbs.

She gently flapped her wings, and countless sharp spikes pierced straight into the corpse.

Blood enters the succubus's body through the barbs.

Before long, he was sucked dry and turned into a dried-up corpse.

The mummified corpse turned into countless powders and disappeared into the air.

The succubus simply erased Lei An's existence.

He shouldn't have been so careless, but the busy days had left Lei An with no time to rest, let alone be wary of others.

"It's a truly disgusting taste that makes me want to vomit."

"However, I have already obtained the genetic information of this human."

The succubus flapped her wings and flew into the air. Her figure shifted, and soon a middle-aged man with white hair appeared.

This is the succubus's special ability: once it has absorbed the blood of its prey, it can disguise itself as the prey and has a certain probability of absorbing the prey's memories.

The succubus absorbed Lei An's memories of the Twenty-Eight Mansions and knew their power.

"Hmph, let me have a go at these legendary Twenty-Eight Constellations."

"I'm coming."

The succubus cleared her throat and spoke in an aged voice.

He then pressed the electric switch, and the door slowly opened.

A faint smell of blood lingered in the air.

The succubus leaned back in her chair without making a sound, calmly looking at Ye Bai.

The human in front of me has delicate skin and flesh, and his blood is full of youthful vitality.

He is absolutely not comparable to the president of the Pet Beast Guild, who is like a withered flower in the sunset.

The succubus licked her lips, revealing four sharp fangs, like a venomous snake lurking deep within.

"Hello, Kui Mulang, I am Lei An, the president of the Pet Beast Guild in Tianzhong City."

"Welcome! I heard there are three of the Twenty-Eight Mansions in total?"

"Why are you the only one who came?"

"Could it be that my distress signal was intercepted?"

"The situation in Tianzhong City has become extremely bad. If you had arrived earlier, there might still be hope for Tianzhong City."

The succubus said with a smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes; she was clearly mocking Ye Bai.

They mocked them for hesitating at the most critical moment.

Through the Eye of Truth, Ye Bai immediately discovered that the person in front of him, Lei An, was actually a succubus in disguise.

Given the extremely faint smell of blood in the air, it's likely that Lei An is in grave danger, and his body has probably been disposed of by the succubus.

It's a pity, Lei An was a pet master who once competed with his grandmaster Zhang Dashan for the Twenty-Eight Constellations.

Although he was defeated, Lei An had a great reputation in Tianzhong City, and he died here.

It sounds a bit absurd, but that's exactly how it is.

"They're still on their way, but I'm faster, so I came to scout ahead first."

"Take a look at how many demons there are in Tianzhong City, and make a count of them all."

"By the way, what's the situation in Tianzhong City right now? I easily discovered a large group of demons."

"Are you short-staffed, or are you afraid to make a decision?"

"Is it really that difficult to protect all the citizens of Tianzhong City?"

"This is dereliction of duty, blatant dereliction of duty."

Ye Bai shouted sternly.

“Kui Mulang, we are equals, don’t yell at me, I can hear you.”

"And don't just spout nonsense when you don't know anything."

"It's not that we haven't done it, it's that we simply don't know who the devil is."

"A hasty action will only increase the panic among the citizens; we haven't found a way to deal with the demon yet."

"On the contrary, several of our pet trainers have gone missing while protecting the citizens."

"Kui Mulang, we have done everything we could."

The succubus leaned back in her chair, twirled her pen, and looked at Ye Bai with a hint of impatience.

"In addition to the missing citizens, members of our Pet Animal Guild have also started to disappear."

"We are currently severely understaffed, so we can only turn a blind eye to some things."

"Kui Mulang, if you can do it, you might as well give it a try."

"The demons are endless; we can only try to minimize casualties and preserve our own strength."

"I hope there are as few men as possible under my command."

Ye Bai laughed at the succubus's high-sounding words.

This might fool others, but it won't fool Ye Bai.

He's the master of underhanded tactics.

"Look, what is that!"

A fiery red blade pierced straight through the succubus's chest.

The succubus suddenly spat out a trickle of black blood.

She looked at Ye Bai with resentment.

"When did you discover my identity?"

"The succubus race's disguise techniques are beyond reproach."

Therefore, the only possibility is that Ye Bai's special ability allowed him to discover himself.

After all, humans are favored by the heavens, and human pet tamers, for example, possess a variety of talents.

The succubus chuckled coldly, extending her black claws to pull the Northern Star Wolf Blade from her body.

The moment the claws touched the Northern Star Wolf Blade, countless plumes of black smoke billowed out, and at the same time, the succubus let out a shrill scream.

She felt as if she had touched a piece of scorching hot iron.

The black claws forcefully pulled the Northern Star Wolf Blade from her chest.

The long blade then slipped from the succubus's hand and returned to Ye Bai's.

This is where Horcruxes are most useful.

“I could smell the sulfurous odor on you even through the entire door.”

"I will remember this scent for the rest of my life."

The succubus's eyes widened; he had recognized her by her scent.

However, she quickly applied a touch of bright red lipstick to her lips.

Her bat wings spread wide, and a hint of disdain appeared on her face, revealing her ugly nature.

“I know you, the newly appointed Twenty-Eight Constellations. I’ve seen your resume in Lei An’s memories.”

“I am a seventh-tier succubus, you are no match for me.”

"Just obediently become my devoted follower. What's so good about fighting and killing?"

"It would be better to be like us demons and be less calculating."

It didn't take long.

The succubus appeared beside Ye Bai in an instant, and Ye Bai raised the Sun Blade and slashed backward.

The black claws collided with the Sunblade, producing a shower of sparks.

"Wow, that's fast!"

"So how do you guard against this move?"

The succubus's tail stood upright, and it thrust forward with tremendous force. With a clang, most of its tail was cleaved in two by the moon blade.

Black blood was scattered all over the ground, emitting a pungent odor.

"See? I told you you smelled."

"You still don't believe it?"

Ye Bai coldly laughed, and with a backhand slash, he severed the succubus's two wings.

boom.

The succubus, propelled by inertia, crashed directly into the ground, leaving a long trail of blood.

"There's a battle going on here. This is the president's office. How could such a fierce duel be taking place inside?"

"Could it be that something happened to the president?"

The voices of other pet masters could be heard outside.

"Oh no! Someone is attacking the guild leader! We must rush in immediately to provide support and drive the attackers away!"

Lei An enjoys extremely high prestige throughout Tianzhong City.

Seeing that Lei An was under attack, the other pet masters rushed to his aid.

"Hahaha, let me go."

"I'll tell you about the plans for hell."

"Once the plan succeeds, the entire Blue Star will no longer have the territory of Yan Kingdom; it will only become the territory of our demons."

The succubus said confidently.

Before she could say more than a few words, a cold light struck the succubus.

The succubus's body was split in two.

Before she died, her eyes widened in astonishment. How could this human be so unyielding and unwilling to inquire about information?

"Cough cough."

A bloodstain appeared on the succubus's forehead and then enlarged.

Black blood gushed out, and then the succubus's body was torn to pieces.

A magic core, shimmering with a soft glow, fell from the succubus's body.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Members of the Tianzhong City Pet Guild all raised their hands in fear that their guild leader might be harmed.

"I have killed Lei An, the president of the Pet Beast Guild in Tianzhong City."

"His flesh and blood have become a part of me."

The succubus's head rolled on the ground, and she said with a sneer, but Ye Bai directly cleaved it into countless pieces to prevent the succubus from possessing anyone.

Ye Bai had to explain repeatedly before others believed that their guild leader had long been eaten by a demon.

"I'm sorry, I was just tricked by the devil."

"Sorry, I spoke a little too loudly."

"I misunderstood you."

Ye Bai coldly glanced at the middle-level managers below.

"Do you think of it as just being a monk for a day and ringing the bell for a day?"

“Traces of demons have appeared in Tianzhong City, and instead of reporting this to higher authorities, you are planning to cover it up.”

"If I hadn't come here in advance, I don't know what the whole of Tianzhong City would have become."

"Will it become a paradise for demons?"

Ye Bai said coldly.

"Now we must boost our morale and then declare war on the demons."

"Now, let's assign tasks to everyone based on headcount."

"We will clean up the remaining demons, area by area."

"As for the question of whether demons can impersonate humans, I'm here specifically to solve that for you."

"However, before the operation, I will send a small team over to help with logistics."

When Ye Bai arrived, he had already memorized the information of everyone in the Tianzhong City Pet Beast Guild.

"Ye Bai, how are things on your end?"

Jingmu Han suddenly shouted through the walkie-talkie.

"Many demons have appeared, and they are heading towards the police station."

"It seems that it was you who alerted them."

"This will be a massacre."

"Kui Mulang, don't hold back, kill him."

Ye Bai gripped the Northern Star Wolf Blade tightly with both hands, and red and blue streams of energy swirled around his body.

The armor appeared on Ye Bai's body, making him look energetic.

As night fell and a cold wind howled, a hideous gash suddenly appeared in the dark, cloud-covered sky, as if the order of the world had been torn apart by an indescribable force.

From this rift, hordes of demons surged into the human world like a tide; these were all demons created by the demon lord Mon.

These demons came in various forms; some had arms like sharp blades, while others had tails like chains trailing behind them. Their eyes shone with a crimson light, and foul-smelling saliva dripped from the corners of their mouths.

Judging from their frenzied expressions, these demons are basically devoid of humanity; only killing can enhance their power.

The demons roared without restraint, their voices like thunder, shaking the entire city.

High atop the tower in Tianzhong City, the pet masters were already prepared for battle.

However, as they looked up at these tall and malevolent figures, an unprecedented fear welled up in their hearts.

The demons opened their gaping maws, devouring all living things they could see. Their power was so great that they could easily destroy city walls and turn towns into ruins.

Tianzhong City began to descend into chaos.

A demon of enormous size appeared.

It was much larger, a monster adorned with bones, and it was moving slowly forward.

At this moment, Ye Bai's walkie-talkie came through the voices of Jing Mu'an and Gui Jin Yang.

"Kui Mulang, you'd better hold on for now."

"We'll be back soon."

"Our magic array is now at its final stage. If we leave rashly, we could easily fail at the last minute."

"Netherworld Hell Wolf, this demon is now yours."

This enormous demon was staring intently at Ye Bai with its fierce eyes.

It was as if it could glare Ye Bai so hard he'd hang on the floor.

However, the next second, the ground beneath the demon trembled, and it immediately fell down, leaving only its head exposed.

[1. The seal on the demon's lair is being sealed; the ground reeks of sulfur, a result of dark energy disrupting the stability of the magic array.]

[2. Tianzhong City is a paradise for demons. Recently, the demons have been playing a game of who kills the most people. Their plan is to collect human children, slaughter them, and use their wailing spirits as food.]

[3. Devouring the corpses of demons can enhance dark energy. Once all the demons in Tianzhong City have been devoured, the Netherworld Hell Wolf should have a guaranteed victory.]

[4. The demon statue has begun to revive, but experts from Yan Kingdom have advised that it be placed in a separate room and that humans should not live with it.]

5. A rescue team from Yan Country is about to arrive in Tianzhong City, and the injured will receive priority treatment.

"Phew, all the demons are showing up in droves."

Ye Bai looked at these demons with great curiosity; dried bloodstains still remained on their bodies.

This proves that these demons have already devoured a considerable number of humans.

Ye Bai could sense the mournful cries of the deceased, as well as the indelible hatred within them.

"Demons can gain power through killing and thus advance to another stage."

"The more people die in Tianzhong City, the more excited the demons will be."

"Lord Kui Mulang, I suggest that we prioritize protecting the civilians."

"Only in this way can we avoid greater losses."

A pet trainer advised Ye Bai.

The demons roared and charged forward.

They were incredibly fast, but most of their bodies fell apart in mid-air.
