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

Chapter 398 The Tellurium Demon Ape!
The Cang family had come several times before and searched the area thoroughly, almost turning the place upside down, but they found nothing.

Now, things have gotten really complicated. Gu Yuan discovered the situation on his first visit. Was it just good luck, or was he incredibly capable? Or were the Cang family members just too incompetent before?!

Ignoring the strange expressions on their faces, Gu Yuan pointed his finger, and a bolt of dark purple lightning appeared.

Sizzle...sizzle...

The lightning flashed with tiny, fragmented lights, and as soon as it appeared, it exuded a terrifying and awe-inspiring aura, as if it could split the heavens and the earth.

At least Cang Yunfei, Cang Yuejiao, and the others standing nearby felt a jolt, as if they had been electrocuted, and a sense of fear arose in their hearts.

A sense of dread crept into the hearts of the group, especially Cang Yuejiao, who had a thought that popped into her mind: "Even I feel fear, what kind of thunder magic is this, could it be..."

Thinking of this, her gaze towards Gu Yuan subtly changed.

The lightning released by Gu Yuan changed rapidly, the lightning as thin as a finger split into two, then into four, and finally into eight.

Before long, it transformed into hundreds of bolts of lightning.

These lightning bolts quickly intertwined and transformed into a lightning net, which then rushed directly towards a corner.

The corner was quite dark, and the light was hard to reach, but as the lightning approached, the light in the corner began to change and distort.

In the dim light, a strange, transparent figure resembling a monkey could be seen appearing and disappearing, then it leaped away, about to escape.

However, a flash of lightning on the lightning net easily enveloped it.

Crackling! Crackling!
Immediately afterwards, with a series of crackling sounds and a strange scream, the strange, transparent evil object was completely covered.

The lightning collided with the demonic energy on his body, instantly producing puffs of gray smoke.

This evil creature charged left and right, intending to break through the lightning net.

However, this lightning net was formed from the nascent form of the Great Divine Power, Chaos Divine Lightning, so how could it be so simple?
It struggled for a long time, but the lightning net not only failed to break through, but instead tightened even more, and the released lightning left the evil creature on the verge of death.

At this moment, Gu Yuan casually raised his hand and made a gesture.

The lightning net, carrying the evil creature, returned to Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan withdrew the lightning net, and the transparent evil creature inside, having been struck by lightning, was charred and its form was now visible.

This was a creature that resembled neither ape nor monkey, with a ferocious face like a vengeful ghost, sharp claws, and eerie green eyes that gleamed with resentful coldness.

However, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that this thing was quite intelligent. Although it was injured, its eyes were moving around, which was very strange and lively.

It was only because it was injured by Gu Yuan's lightning net that it was unable to cause trouble. Now it was lying obediently on the ground in front of Gu Yuan, its body twitching from time to time.

"What the hell is this?"

Upon seeing the monster, Cang Yunfei was clearly surprised.

Cang Yuncheng and Cang Yuejiao, who were standing to the side, also looked puzzled and uncertain.

They hadn't noticed anything at all, but Gu Yuan spotted it immediately and grabbed it. This made the two of them, especially the latter Cang Yuejiao, realize for the first time the difference between her and Gu Yuan.

"This is a demonic creature called the Tellurium Demon Ape. It is good at hiding, has strong defense, and possesses an innate divine power that can directly attack the soul."

Gu Yuan explained calmly, "Of course, I have sealed its cultivation now, and it is unable to move."

"So, this demon is the culprit behind all those previous events?" Cang Yunfei looked at the Tellurium Demon Ape on the ground with suspicion. Although the Tellurium Demon Ape gave him a very dangerous feeling, he did not think that the Tellurium Demon Ape could harm their Cang family's Golden Core elder.

Gu Yuan gave him a strange look and said calmly, "Of course not."

"This is just a small fry, a magical beast kept by a demonic cultivator. The reason I captured it is to see if I can get more clues from it."

As he spoke, Gu Yuan reached out and grabbed the Tellurium Demon Ape on the ground, which immediately flew up on its own and was delivered into Gu Yuan's hand.

A strange light flickered in Gu Yuan's hand, causing the expressions of the others to change slightly, recognizing it as some kind of demonic supernatural power or spell.

However, Gu Yuan didn't care and ignored their reactions. Under his control, the evil light quickly seeped into the head of the Tellurium Demon Ape.

Wow--! ! !
The Tellurium Demon Ape's beastly face twisted instantly. Its already ferocious and ugly face became even more hideous. Its eyes bulged, and veins bulged on its face, as if it were enduring some unbearable pain. It let out a piercing howl.

"Soul Searching Technique..."

Cang Yunfei recognized the origin of the spell Gu Yuan had used and was startled.

This is a legitimate demonic cultivation method that can directly view and even modify the soul memories of other cultivators. The process is brutal and ruthless, often causing irreparable damage to the soul of the cultivator. At best, it can weaken the soul and cause frequent pain; at worst, it can turn the cultivator into an idiot or even cause their soul to be scattered.

This kind of behavior has always been rejected by many people, and if word gets out, Gu Yuan's reputation will probably be affected.

Of course, because this spell is quite useful, there are actually quite a few immortal cultivators secretly practicing it.

He never expected that Gu Yuan would use such demonic magic without any scruples.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel more wary of Gu Yuan.

To dare to cultivate and use such magic, putting aside everything else, at least this kind of ruthless mentality is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Not long after, Gu Yuan released his grip, and the Tellurium Demon Ape's body crashed to the ground, kicking up dust. Its mouth was crooked, its eyes were slanted, one of its eyeballs had even burst open, and saliva was drooling from the corner of its mouth.

Furthermore, his body still twitched occasionally, and his breath gradually weakened.

Gu Yuan naturally wouldn't hold back against this kind of monster, so he used every means at his disposal.

As for the result...

The demonic ape's soul has been severely damaged and it's beyond saving, but Gu Yuan has gained a lot.

He has obtained the information he wanted.

Cang Yunfei, Cang Yuejiao, and the others weren't displeased by a mere demon, but they gained a deeper understanding of Gu Yuan.

Seeing Gu Yuan's pensive expression, Cang Yuejiao asked in confusion, "Senior Brother Gu, have you perhaps obtained some clues?"

Gu Yuan nodded slightly, not denying it: "That's right, I did find some clues."

He obtained some interesting things from the memories of the Tellurium Demon Ape.

However, there's no need to discuss the specifics with the people in front of us.

Gu Yuan continued to reveal some less important information:
