288: Zhongshan Nine Paths, a Crisis of Annihilation

Although he did not know why Li Big Saber liked to call him out to destroy Sects, the thought of being able to go out and play put him in a great mood.

Therefore, he could not help but hum a little tune to express the joy in his heart.

The golden battleship sped along at the speed of light, flying over the original Endless Sea of the Canglan Continent and passing several newly fused continents, heading towards the Beast Taming Sect at maximum speed.

At this moment, in a mountain range filled with abundant Spiritual Qi and magnificent buildings.

A large number of Beast Taming Sect Disciples, wearing the beast robes of the Beast Taming Sect, were moving between the various buildings.

Some were accepting tasks, some were walking with their arms around each other's shoulders, and others were hiding in the small woods, discussing the great matters of life.

Meanwhile, at a square at the foot of the Mountain Gate of the Beast Taming Sect, a grand recruitment ceremony was taking place.

A large number of youths from within the Beast Taming Sect's sphere of influence were waiting to test their talent so they could join this incredibly powerful Sect in their hearts.

"Dong, dong, dong, dong!"

Just as everything inside and outside the Beast Taming Sect was proceeding in an orderly fashion.

Suddenly, nine urgent bell tolls rang out.

And upon hearing these bells ring.

Whether it was the Disciples inside the Beast Taming Sect or the deacons recruiting Disciples at the foot of the mountain, their expressions all changed drastically.

Regardless of the tasks at hand, they all hurriedly gathered towards the square inside the Beast Taming Sect.

"What the hell! What the f*** is going on? Isn't the Beast Taming Sect recruiting Disciples? Why did everyone suddenly leave?"

"Nine bell tolls!! This can only be rung during a Sect destruction crisis. The Beast Taming Sect must be facing a crisis of annihilation."

"Hiss, the Beast Taming Sect is the hegemon of several nearby continental plates; to think it would actually face a crisis of annihilation?"

"Stop talking, let's take our juniors and run quickly. Something big must have happened to the Beast Taming Sect, otherwise, they wouldn't have rung the nine bells."

"Right, right, right, run quickly. If the Beast Taming Sect is really going to be destroyed, and we pass the test and become Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, we would die too unjustly."

Watching the people of the Beast Taming Sect change color and hurriedly return to the Beast Taming Sect.

The youths waiting for the Beast Taming Sect's test, along with their Elders, were all dumbfounded at first.

But when they slowly recalled the meaning of these nine bell tolls, their expressions also changed drastically, and they hurriedly took their juniors and fled from the Mountain Gate of the Beast Taming Sect.

After all, they came to join the Beast Taming Sect because they wanted to find a good backer for their juniors and their Family.

Now that the Beast Taming Sect was facing an annihilation crisis, how could they possibly let their juniors join the Beast Taming Sect to seek death?

As these people participating in the recruitment left, the Mountain Gate of the Beast Taming Sect became desolate and quiet.

However, the square inside the Beast Taming Sect became incredibly lively.

Hundreds of thousands of Beast Taming Sect Disciples, as well as various low-level deacons and Elders of the Beast Taming Sect, were discussing in a panic what big event had happened and why the nine bells representing an annihilation crisis had been rung.

Just as a group of people were chattering and discussing endlessly.

An elderly man with a weathered face, who was a Half-step Great Emperor, appeared before the various Beast Taming Sect Disciples, deacons, and small Elders.

"Hiss, this is Elder Ge who guards the Life Soul Tablets. Why is he the one coming out to preside over such a major matter?"

"Yeah, to ring the nine bells, you need the Sect Master's consent. Could it be that Elder Ge is taking advantage of the Sect Master's absence and wants to ring the bells to mess with us?"

"No way, right? Randomly ringing the annihilation bells carries the punishment of soul extraction and refining. Elder Ge wouldn't have lost his mind, would he?"

Seeing the Half-step Great Emperor Elder appear, hundreds of thousands of Beast Taming Sect Disciples, as well as deacons and small Elders, were all whispering and discussing cautiously.

And the Half-step Great Emperor Elder, seeing this scene.

Without waiting for these Beast Taming Sect Disciples, deacons, and small Elders to say much more, he shouted out with a mournful expression.

"Attention, all Beast Taming Sect Disciples, deacons, and Elders!"

"Bad news has just come from the Life Soul Hall. The Sect Master and the four Old Ancestors, as well as the elite Disciples of the Sect, have all had their Life Soul Tablets shattered and have fallen."

"Our Beast Taming Sect is now in an unprecedented crisis. This Elder, as the Elder with the highest cultivation in the Beast Taming Sect, commands you to pack your things immediately, disperse down the mountain, and find another blessed land to rebuild the Beast Taming Sect."

Now that the Sect Master of Yushou Sect and the four Old Ancestors of the Beast Taming Sect—these top powers of the Beast Taming Sect—had fallen, it meant that their Beast Taming Sect had certainly offended a more powerful force.

If they did not hurry to relocate their base, the tens of thousands of years of Dao of his Beast Taming Sect would likely be on the verge of destruction.

After all, for the force that wiped out the Sect Master of Yushou Sect and the others, coming over to wipe out the Beast Taming Sect would be effortless.

"What! The Sect Master and the Old Ancestors have all fallen?"

"Impossible, this is impossible. The Sect Master and the Old Ancestors are all Peak Great Emperors; how could they have fallen?"

"Yeah, Elder Ge, you aren't lying to us, are you? The Sect Master and the Old Ancestors only went out this morning; how could they have fallen in less than half a day?"

Hearing the Half-step Great Emperor Elder's words.

The hundreds of thousands of Beast Taming Sect Disciples, as well as the deacons and small Elders, were all horrified.

The Sect Master of Yushou Sect and the few Old Ancestors had been Peak Great Emperors for many years and had expanded so much territory for the Beast Taming Sect without anything ever happening to them.

Now that Elder Ge said the Sect Master of Yushou Sect and the few Old Ancestors had fallen, it was simply too shocking.

Facing the questioning of some deacons and small Elders.

Elder Ge looked anxious and shouted angrily, "How would This Elder dare to speak nonsense about such a major matter? If you don't believe it, then just wait here and die!!"

After speaking, Elder Ge did not wait for these Disciples, deacons, and small Elders to say anything more.

He walked directly towards the treasury of the Beast Taming Sect, preparing to take the things from the Beast Taming Sect's treasury and then find a place to rebuild the Beast Taming Sect.

As for whether these people would follow him or not, he had no time to persuade them.

Because the force that finished off the Sect Master of Yushou Sect could potentially kill their way here at any moment, he had to hurry and take the core of the Beast Taming Sect away to have a chance to preserve the Dao of the Beast Taming Sect.

"Hiss, have the Sect Master and the Old Ancestors really fallen?"

Seeing Elder Ge leave in a rage, it did not seem like he was joking.

The hundreds of thousands of Beast Taming Sect Disciples, as well as the deacons and small Elders, murmured with pale faces.

However, everyone quickly reacted and erupted with panicked voices.

"Quick, quick, quick, go back and pack your things, let's leave the Beast Taming Sect immediately!!"

"That's right, we must leave quickly, otherwise if we are hunted down for revenge, we will all die without a burial place."

"Pack what the f***? Let's go now, in case it's too late."

One by one, the Beast Taming Sect Disciples, deacons, and small Elders scattered in the square with incredibly panicked expressions.

Some returned to their residences, preparing to pack valuable items before leaving the Beast Taming Sect.

Others simply summoned their own Yao Beasts and ran towards the outside of the Beast Taming Sect as if their lives depended on it, fearing that if they were one step too slow, they would be hunted down for revenge.

However, these Disciples, deacons, and small Elders who ran out of the Beast Taming Sect had not yet run out of the mountain range of the Beast Taming Sect.

The golden battleship of the Beast Taming Sect, carrying Zhu Heizi and the million Qingtian Guards, was speeding rapidly towards the Beast Taming Sect.

When they saw their own golden battleship approaching.

Those Beast Taming Sect Disciples, deacons, and small Elders who were preparing to flee all stopped in their tracks, looking at the golden battleship in the sky and exclaiming.

"Whoa! Isn't that the battleship the Sect Master and the Old Ancestors ride in? Could it be that the Sect Master and the Old Ancestors have returned?"

"It must be the Sect Master and the Old Ancestors who have returned; they have not fallen at all, Elder Ge is lying!!"

"That's right, Elder Ge is doing this because he must want to take advantage of the Sect Master and the Old Ancestors being out, then seize the Sect's treasures and betray the Sect to live freely."

"Haha, it must be so, we don't have to run anymore!!"

Seeing the golden battleship in the distance getting closer and closer.

Those Disciples, deacons, and small Elders who had not yet run out of the Beast Taming Sect's mountain range all had happy smiles on their faces and did not continue to flee.

After all, compared to Elder Ge's words, they still trusted the battleship that the Sect Master of Yushou Sect and the others rode in.

Because these battleships represented the identity of the Sect Master of Yushou Sect; if the person was there, the battleship was there.

Since the battleship had returned intact, it meant that what Elder Ge said was all fake, and the Sect Master of Yushou Sect and the Old Ancestors had not fallen at all.

Therefore, their fleeing was completely unnecessary.
