289: Descending upon the Beast Taming Sect, merciless slaughter.

Groups of Beast Taming Sect Disciples, minor Deacons, and minor Elders were scattered across the various mountain ranges of the Beast Taming Sect, awaiting the battleship's arrival.

Meanwhile, aboard the golden battleship.

Zhu Heizi was still lying on a chair, merrily humming a little tune he had composed.

At that moment, a Quasi-Emperor Qingtian Guard came up to him, cupped his fist, and reported, "Reporting, Elder Zhu, the Beast Taming Sect is right ahead."

"Oh, we're here?" Hearing the Qingtian Guard's words, Zhu Heizi stopped humming and immediately stood up.

He walked to the edge of the battleship, glanced playfully at the nearby Beast Taming Sect, and said lightly, "Since we've arrived, execute the Grand Elder's command: leave no one alive, and collect all the treasures!!"

"Yes, Elder Zhu!!"

Upon receiving Zhu Heizi's order.

This Quasi-Emperor Qingtian Guard immediately contacted the Qingtian Guards on the other battleships, and they all flew out of the golden battleship, heading down to slaughter the people of the Beast Taming Sect.

Seeing that those who flew out of the golden battleship were not the Sect Master of Yushou Sect and the Old Ancestors, but millions of Qingtian Guards with unfamiliar faces.

The Beast Taming Sect Disciples, Deacons, and others below, who were still waiting for the Sect Master of Yushou Sect and the Old Ancestors to arrive, were all terrified, turning pale, and frantically fleeing in all directions.

Simultaneously, terrified screams erupted from their mouths.

"Oh no! The people on the battleship aren't the Sect Master and them! Run for your lives!!"

"Run, run! These people are so powerful! The weakest among them are Saint Realm Experts!!"

"Heavens! The Sect Master and the Old Ancestors were really killed! Our Beast Taming Sect is finished!!"

"Help! Help! Help!!"

Hundreds of thousands of Beast Taming Sect Cultivators screamed and fled like panicked ants.

However, the millions of Qingtian Guards were not to be trifled with; they commenced a merciless slaughter against the people of the Beast Taming Sect.

Since the Qingtian Guards' cultivation was at least Saint Peak, with the highest reaching Late Stage Quasi-Emperor.

Dealing with these Beast Taming Sect Cultivators, whose cultivation levels varied greatly, was like chopping vegetables.

Soon, screams echoed throughout the sky above the Beast Taming Sect, and in no time, the Beast Taming Sect Disciples, minor Deacons, and minor Elders were completely wiped out.

Inside a Secret Realm located in the back mountain of the Beast Taming Sect.

Elder Ge, from the Beast Taming Sect's Hall of Life Souls, was observing the Qingtian Guards scavenging for treasures outside, his forehead covered in cold sweat and his face full of terror.

The place he was currently in was precisely the Beast Taming Sect's Secret Realm Treasury.

Because the Qingtian Sect had arrived too quickly, he had only just entered the Treasury when the Qingtian Guards surrounded the outside.

Now he could only pray that the Qingtian Sect had not brought any Great Emperor Experts this time, otherwise, the Secret Realm he was in would be utterly incapable of withstanding a search by a Great Emperor Expert.

Just as Elder Ge was nervously observing the outside.

Zhu Heizi appeared instantly in front of Elder Ge's Secret Realm, wearing a smile.

Seeing Zhu Heizi appear, Elder Ge's heart leaped into his throat, and he desperately prayed that Zhu Heizi was not a Great Emperor Expert.

Since he was inside the Secret Realm, he could only observe the outside situation through the pinpricks of the Formation, but he absolutely dared not probe the cultivation level of the person outside.

Because the moment he used his Divine Sense, he would immediately be discovered, so he could only wait passively.

"Heh heh, come out. I've found you," Zhu Heizi said lightly, looking at the Secret Realm.

As a Peak Great Emperor, although Elder Ge's Secret Realm space was highly concealed, he saw through it instantly.

If he hadn't been afraid that there might be some Destruction Formation inside the Secret Realm, which would ruin the contents if he blasted it open, why would he waste words on Elder Ge?

Seeing Zhu Heizi stare at the Secret Realm and say those words, the cold sweat on Elder Ge's forehead poured out freely.

Since Zhu Heizi could discover this Secret Realm, it meant he was definitely a Great Emperor Expert, and Elder Ge's fate today was likely grim.

However, he still wanted to gamble on whether Zhu Heizi had truly discovered the Secret Realm.

Therefore, Elder Ge chose not to speak, planning instead to wait for Zhu Heizi to speak again, then negotiate terms with him.

The Secret Realm he was currently in possessed a Formation that could destroy the Secret Realm Treasury with a single thought.

If Zhu Heizi wanted to obtain all the Beast Taming Sect's treasures, he would have to compromise and spare Elder Ge's life.

Seeing that Elder Ge, hiding in the Secret Realm, was playing dead and refusing to speak.

Zhu Heizi's smile vanished instantly, and he continued coldly, "Little ant, if you don't come out now, this Emperor will let you perish along with this space."

Since Elder Ge in the Secret Realm was playing dead, Zhu Heizi had no choice but to use drastic measures; only that would make him speak.

Seeing Zhu Heizi's expression turn cold and hearing him threaten to destroy the space.

Elder Ge looked anxious and quickly spoke through the Formation to Zhu Heizi outside, "Wait, wait, Senior, this Junior can come out."

"But before I come out, please, Senior, swear an oath to spare this Junior's life. Otherwise, this Junior would rather perish with this Treasury than exit."

Zhu Heizi had the patience not to attack twice.

That must mean he coveted the contents of the Beast Taming Sect's Treasury. Now, Elder Ge could only use this to threaten Zhu Heizi, or he would certainly die and his Dao would vanish.

"Hmph! Ant, you dare threaten this Emperor?" Hearing Elder Ge use the Secret Realm to demand an oath, Zhu Heizi's face darkened even further.

He, a dignified Peak Great Emperor, was actually being threatened into taking an oath by a Half-step Great Emperor! If it weren't for Li Big Saber instructing him to bring the Beast Taming Sect's treasures back.

He truly wanted to smash Elder Ge and the Secret Realm in front of him with a single punch.

"Senior, please quell your anger, Senior! This Junior merely wishes to live. As long as Senior grants this Junior a way out, this Junior will definitely hand over everything inside the Secret Realm intact."

Seeing Zhu Heizi outside the Secret Realm enraged, Elder Ge inside hurriedly spoke with forced smiles.

Although he was currently threatening a Great Emperor, he couldn't afford to worry about that much for the sake of survival.

As long as Zhu Heizi swore an oath upon his Divine Soul not to kill him after he came out, his life would be saved today.

Hearing that Elder Ge in the Secret Realm was determined not to come out unless he swore an oath, Zhu Heizi fell into contemplation.

Although he could simply destroy Elder Ge along with the Beast Taming Sect's Treasury and report truthfully to Li Big Saber upon returning without any consequences.

Obtaining the contents of the Treasury was worth a simple promise, and even if he swore the oath, there were still loopholes to exploit.

Once Elder Ge came out and handed over the Treasury contents, he could devise other ways to kill him later.

Thinking of this.

A playful smile appeared on Zhu Heizi's lips, and he addressed Elder Ge inside the Secret Realm, "How do you want this Emperor to swear the oath before you are willing to come out and hand over the treasures to this Emperor?"

Seeing Zhu Heizi relent, Elder Ge said happily, "Senior, as long as you swear upon your Divine Soul that neither you nor your subordinates will attack or kill me after I exit."

With his Half-step Great Emperor cultivation, as long as Zhu Heizi and the Qingtian Guards outside did not attack him, he could instantly flee far away.

Therefore, if Zhu Heizi swore this way, he would feel safe.

"Oh, just not attacking is enough?"

Hearing this, the smile on Zhu Heizi's lips deepened, and he nodded, "Fine, this Emperor will begin the oath."

"This Emperor hereby swears upon his Divine Soul that as long as the person inside the Secret Realm comes out and hands over the Beast Taming Sect's treasures intact to this Emperor, then this Emperor and all Qingtian Guards will neither attack him nor kill him. Should this oath be violated, may my Divine Soul be utterly extinguished!!"
