Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 390 The Millennial Family—The Cang Family!
The second task is somewhat similar.

It's also a mission to kill.

However, the person he was to kill was actually an old friend of Gu Yuan's—the Three Corpse Demon.

Gu Yuan was certainly no stranger to this person.

The Three Corpse Demon, a senior figure of the Yuanming Sect.

I have fought this person several times before.

Especially inside the Crimson Dragon Immortal Palace, Gu Yuan fought fiercely with this demon. Afterwards, relying on his surging strength and the Black Dragon Halberd, Gu Yuan gained the upper hand, while the Three Corpse Demon fell into a disadvantageous position and even suffered some serious injuries.

As for why Medicine King Mountain wanted to kill the Three Corpse Demon, Gu Yuan had actually heard about the cause of this matter before.

More than a year ago, the Three Corpse Demon appeared in Shengyang Prefecture and directly sacrificed a town, killing tens of thousands of civilians and committing a heinous crime.

Shengyang Prefecture is within the territory of Qinzhou, and Qinzhou, to put it bluntly, is the territory of Yaowang Mountain.

Under such circumstances, how could Medicine King Mountain allow the Three Corpse Demons to act recklessly? What about Medicine King Mountain's reputation?!

As a result, the Three Corpse Demon became a thorn in the side of Medicine King Mountain, and they wished they could get rid of him as soon as possible.

However, the Three Corpse Demon is a seasoned old demon with countless ways to protect himself. Even if you capture and kill him, you are only killing one of his Three Corpse God clones, or even just an ordinary clone.

Unless a powerful Yin God is deployed, it will be very difficult to completely kill it.

However, if this were to be done, the Yuanming Sect behind the Three Corpse Demon would obviously not remain indifferent, and might even join the fray.

This is something that the people inside Yaowang Mountain are wary of.

Yaowang Mountain is not afraid of a mere Three Corpse Old Demon, but it has to be wary of the Yuanming Sect behind him.

Because the Yuanming Sect behind it possesses combat power at the Yuan Shen level!
The reason why the two sides are at peace now is because the situation is somewhat complicated, with the three major forces of Medicine King Mountain, Gu God Sect and Star River Sword Sect showing a tendency to join forces.

But once this fragile balance is broken, no one knows what will happen next.

Therefore, the Three Corpse Demon can be killed, but it must be killed by a Golden Core cultivator; absolutely no one of the Yin God level or above can be killed.

As a result, it was inconvenient for the Yin God giants to take action, and most of the elders below the Yin God level were either busy or no match for the Three Corpse Demon.

Even those who are confident in dealing with the Three Corpse Demons may not be able to spare much time and energy to personally kill them.

Therefore, the Three Corpse Demon is still alive and well.

Gu Yuan thought about it and secretly rejected the task in his heart, at most considering him as a backup option.

Compared to others, Gu Yuan himself had some unresolved grudges with the Three Corpse Demon. If given the opportunity, Gu Yuan would definitely choose to settle these grudges to avoid further entanglement and trouble later on.

Furthermore, the Three Corpse Demon is a disciple of the Yuanming Sect, so others may not be able to do anything about him. Even those who are confident of defeating him may not be able to find his whereabouts.

Even if they find the whereabouts of the Three Corpse Demon, they may not be able to completely eliminate all of his clones and eradicate him from the root of the problem.

However, Gu Yuan was better than others because he knew Ji Canghai, a true disciple of the Yuanming Sect.

This person, possessing a seven-aperture exquisite heart, might be slightly inferior to Li Changsheng in strength because he hasn't yet formed his core, but in terms of status and potential, he is in no way inferior. More importantly, Gu Yuan's old friend has some grudges with the Three Corpse Demon.

Given this, Gu Yuan now has the possibility of finding the Three Corpse Demon.

The reason Gu Yuan listed it as a candidate was because the Three Corpse Demon had too many clones, making it too difficult to eliminate him completely. If he were to alert him, he could easily leave behind a trail of trouble.

It would be better to wait until he advances to the Golden Core realm before figuring out a way to get rid of this old devil!
Gu Yuan scanned the third task with his divine sense, glanced at it briefly, and then decisively cupped his hands and said, "This disciple chooses the third task and humbly requests the sect leader's approval."

The third task?
Master Yu Sheng glanced at Gu Yuan, said nothing more, and simply nodded: "Alright, then this task is entrusted to you. From now on, you can start handling this matter. However, this task is a bit strange, so you'd better be careful."

Gu Yuan nodded: "Thank you for the reminder, Sect Leader. I understand."

"Alright, you can go now. Remember, this task has a time limit. If you can't complete the task by the time limit, it will be considered a failure."

After saying this, Daoist Yusheng said nothing more, closed his eyes again, and began to meditate and sit cross-legged.

Gu Yuan bowed silently and then left Yuding Mountain.

Back in his cave at Luoxia Mountain, Gu Yuan pondered for a moment.

"The Cang family... this mission seems a bit difficult... perhaps, there might be some demonic influence involved."

His third assignment was not to kill anyone, but to investigate something.

In the Qin Prefecture, Yaowang Mountain is undoubtedly the dominant force. However, besides Yaowang Mountain, there are also some large and small cultivation sects and families.

For example, Li Changsheng, the senior disciple of Yaowang Mountain, and Li Changqing, an inner disciple, are both from a thousand-year-old family in Qinzhou.

The "Cang" family that Gu Yuan mentioned is actually similar to the Li family. They are also a thousand-year-old family with considerable power and a close connection with Medicine King Mountain.

The Cang family, located in Chenghua Prefecture, was originally just an ordinary small family. However, later, a genius emerged from this small family and joined the Medicine King Mountain. He gradually rose from an inner disciple to a true disciple and eventually became an elder of the Medicine King Mountain. He also eventually attained the Yin God Dao Fruit.

Along with this, the Cang family, a small clan, also rapidly expanded and grew into a well-known cultivation family in Qinzhou.

However, times have changed. Now, that Yin God Elder has long since passed away. As for the Cang family, they have not lacked resources over the years, and still have a Golden Core cultivator in charge.

Currently, there are also several Golden Core cultivators.

However, the Cang family encountered some problems during this period, so they sent people to seek help from Yaowang Mountain.

Although the Cang family is a thousand-year-old family, it is actually just a subordinate force of Medicine King Mountain. Every year, they have to provide a large amount of spirit stones, spirit herbs and spirit materials to Medicine King Mountain.

Therefore, in exchange, if the Cang family encounters problems or unsolvable troubles, then Yaowang Mountain must help solve them.

Thus, this task came about.

As for what exactly happened to the Cang family, the jade slip did mention it, saying that some strange things had happened to the Cang family recently, and many people had died one after another, including some direct descendants.

The Cang family sent people to investigate, and even one of the Golden Core cultivators personally went to investigate, but they couldn't find out the cause. In the end, even this Golden Core cultivator was injured.
