Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 437 Good Sister

"Run! Why aren't you running anymore?"

Gu Youran was stopped by Fang Wuming, and from behind, the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect came in pursuit.

The Heavenly Demon Sect cultivator glanced at Gu Youran and Fang Wuming before laughing.

"Is there another unlucky fellow who was chased into the mountains? You seem to be the cultivator who stole from the Immortal Source Alliance headquarters during the last Immortal Source War and is now wanted by the authorities."

"Heavenly Demon Sect!!!" Seeing Gu Youran was fine, but when he saw the Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators chasing after him, Fang Wuming's expression changed.

How did these cultivators from the Heavenly Demon Sect end up in the Lustful Sacrifice Mountain?

Fang Wuming glanced at Gu Youran and concluded that this woman must possess a priceless treasure that the demonic sect cultivators were unwilling to give up!

“No need to run anymore.” Gu Youran stopped running and looked at Fang Wuming.

Although she didn't know Fang Wuming, she recognized the array he was guarding not far away.

That formation was set up with the dragon vein of fortune as its core, and it originated from the ancient Tianyuan Kingdom, which she was very familiar with.

At this point, Gu Youran was certain once again that her elder brother, Gu Xinghe, was also here.

"Brother, save me."

She shouted into the distance. It would be difficult to break through the formation by ordinary means, but this formation was originally taught to Lin Jing by the first ancient emperor. As an ancient clan cultivator, Gu Youran naturally had a way to transmit her voice. This was a special technique used by ancient clan cultivators to call upon their secluded ancestors.

Gu Youran's shout startled Fang Wuming, the Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators, and even the Mountain God!
The mountain god, in particular, had just seen Gu Youran running towards the forbidden area and was cursing. It was about to step in to stop him so as not to disturb the strange person who could control the corpses of immortal beasts, but Gu Youran's words "brother" were something it had not expected.

Do the two...know each other?
"Oh no, it seems we do know each other." The mountain god belatedly realized that the dragon vein offered to him by the other party had some similarities with the dragon vein that Lin Jing used to set up the formation, and they should come from the same region.

Are they siblings?
Fang Wuming was dumbfounded.

The Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators also frowned. Did this female cultivator know any other cultivators in this Yinsi Mountain?

But so what.

He remained expressionless. There was no one he couldn't handle who had been chased all the way to Yinsi Mountain to seek the protection of the mountain god.

True powerhouses don't rely on mountain gods...

"No one can save you—" He made his move directly, ignoring Fang Wuming. A gigantic demonic arm rose into the air, and a black giant palm reached out to grab Gu Youran.

But in the next instant, with a "boom" of light, the Heavenly Demon cultivator's expression changed drastically. Then, with a "bang," the enormous Heavenly Demon arm, which had detached from the cultivator himself, was pierced through by a beam of light and exploded into the heavens and earth!
Following the afterimage of that light, one could see a demon core radiating the power of the five elements floating in the air not far away.

On the other side was a squirrel standing on a leaf, carrying a slightly cracked bamboo cannon, looking at Gu Youran with a puzzled expression.

"Pfft—" Before the Heavenly Demon cultivator could react, his perfected Heavenly Demon Finger was blasted apart by a machine gun fired by the Pine Leaf Rat, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood as a backlash. He stared in horror at the squirrel that had appeared out of nowhere.

"How is this possible!" he exclaimed in disbelief.

That attack just now was comparable in power to a Void Transformation stage spell, and even stronger than a one-time immortal spell he activated with immortal energy. Where did this early Nascent Soul stage squirrel come from?!

Meanwhile, the Pine Leaf Rat was quite satisfied with the power of its new weapon. Mechanical bamboo spears were practically obsolete, but the evolved Glazed Immortal Eyes could upgrade the quality of various materials. After a period of effort, the Pine Leaf Rat had upgraded the mechanical bamboo spear to a quality comparable to a top-grade magic weapon. Combined with its demon core as ammunition… the combined power was no less than that of a quasi-immortal artifact. In fact, this power almost caused the bamboo spear to explode. The Pine Leaf Rat felt it couldn't continue playing like this; it was too resource-intensive…

"Brother~~?" However, what the leaf rat wanted to know most right now was when Lin Jing would become the brother of the ancient clan princess.

At the same time, Gu Youran's expression turned strange upon seeing the leaf rat.

Wait, it's not my brother!
Right, she remembered now, her father had indeed given the Holy Son of the Demon Court a top-grade dragon vein.

In other words, the dragon vein I sensed was from the forest!

Despite the misunderstanding, Gu Youran wasn't embarrassed. Whether it was Gu Xinghe or Lin Jing, it seemed she was saved.

"It is you."

At the same time, the pine needle rat that was protecting Lin Jing looked back. At this moment, Lin Jing also stopped his seclusion because he heard the call. He walked out of his cave and climbed up the sky step by step, looking at Gu Youran.

"Squeak!" The pine needle rat teleported back to Lin Jing's shoulder. Lin Jing patted the pine needle rat's head and then looked at the Heavenly Demon Sect cultivator.

“Who are you!!”

The Heavenly Demon Sect cultivator's pupils contracted. Although Lin Jing's cultivation was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, seeing the strange squirrel-like monster land so obediently on Lin Jing's shoulder, he suddenly felt a strange pressure.

"Well done," Lin Jing thought to himself. This ancient princess had actually lured a cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Sect here.

He could use these Heavenly Demon Cult cultivators to learn about the situation of the Heavenly Demon Cult in the Origin Realm, and then place an avatar there as an undercover agent.

"You don't need to know..."

He looked at the Heavenly Demon Sect cultivator again, his gaze now as if he were looking at a dead man. Seeing Lin Jing's indifferent gaze, the Heavenly Demon Sect cultivator's scalp tingled instantly, a sense of death threatening his heart. His intuition told him that he must not make an enemy of the person in front of him, otherwise he would surely die without a burial place.

"Damn it..." The Heavenly Demon Sect cultivator was very decisive and rational. It was already so difficult for him to acquire a single acquired immortal body. Now, with the addition of a mysterious and terrifying beast-taming youth, he directly activated his Heavenly Demon Body, hoping to raise his cultivation to the Void Profound Realm and rely on the world's rules to forcibly leave the Origin Realm in order to give up this battle!

"He's trying to run away!"

The cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Sect began to burn their life force. Gu Youran and Fang Wuming both saw through his intentions, and Lin Jing naturally saw through them as well.

"Stay."

Lin Jing raised his arm and simultaneously unleashed the demonic bloodline power of the sealed Heavenly Demon incarnation, targeting this Heavenly Demon Sect cultivator specifically. The Heavenly Demon Sect cultivator instantly revealed a look of extreme horror, and the Heavenly Demon power within him was suppressed in an instant, causing his Heavenly Demon Body activation to fail!
"Who exactly are you—" he shouted in panic. Who exactly was Lin Jing, and why did he possess the demonic bloodline that only a holy son of the Heavenly Demon Sect was worthy of? However, under the suppression of Lin Jing's demonic bloodline combined with the Divine Control Technique, he was now like a pet beast being controlled, unable to speak.

boom.

He was directly in the sky, but Lin Jing pressed him to the ground with his backhand. His body and head were pressed tightly to the ground, and he struggled tremblingly. Seeing this, Gu Youran and Fang Wuming both gasped. This Heavenly Demon Sect cultivator was definitely not weak, but actually... in Lin Jing's hands, he couldn't even escape.

"Tie him up." At Lin Jing's command, the little squirrel summoned vines and bound the Heavenly Demon Sect cultivator who was lying on the ground. Only then did Lin Jing turn his gaze back to Gu Youran and reveal what he considered a kind smile.

“Princess sister, I think I accidentally saved your life just now. Give me a few dragon veins as a thank you gift, otherwise this mountain god will extort them from me. It’s better to benefit our own people than outsiders.”

Gu Youran: ...

Mountain God: ?
