"Tsk tsk, they're all so cunning and shrewd."

Seeing the appearance of the golden net, Jiang Yuan sighed silently in his heart.

In this world, the beastmen are relatively more innocent and kind. Humans, with their higher intelligence, tend to have more ulterior motives. Right now, the two divine beasts have no idea that their frequently fought territory has been infiltrated by someone with ulterior motives, and that they've been trapped like fish in a barrel.

“The Polar Sacred Bear devours the bloodlines of living beings to achieve a breakthrough in its own bloodline, and it has wiped out almost half of the spirit beasts in the Siberian Ice Plains. This should be the reason for its rebellious nature. But this Arctic Snow Fox, in theory, has mastered time and space, so it shouldn't be a rebel!” Liu Zhaodi asked, puzzled.

"To put it bluntly, those who defy the Dao are beings who have the potential to shake the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, this Extreme Ice Snow Fox must possess abilities that the Heavenly Dao fears." Jiang Yuan had a great understanding of their code of conduct because he had dealt with the Heavenly Mirror Temple for a long time and had also searched the souls of several people.

Those who defy the Way, to put it bluntly, are those who, in order to maintain their rule, eliminate those who might overthrow the Way, nipping the crisis in the bud.

"Let's see what kind of team the Heavenly Mirror Temple has sent. If there are any Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, we'll leave immediately." Liu Zhaodi's words left Jiang Yuan no room for negotiation, because this was no joke. If they couldn't kill the people from the Heavenly Mirror Temple, Jiang Yuan's location would inevitably be exposed, and even luck wouldn't be able to conceal the truth.

"Don't worry, it's fine if I'm alone, but with you around, I wouldn't want you to take the risk with me." Jiang Yuan agreed readily this time.

“Remember this, you can’t be alone from now on. Your future belongs to me! If you dare to hand over your future so easily, I’ll make sure you don’t have a lower body,” Liu Zhaodi threatened.

"Look, they've started fighting."

Jiang Yuan quickly changed the subject, which was true, because the situation on the field had begun to change.

There were no red-robed judges at the Nascent Soul stage, but a whole team of black-robed judges appeared. These black-robed judges were all experts at the ninth level of the Supreme God stage, and their appearance was solely for the sake of these two Supreme God stage divine beasts.

The Heavenly Mirror Temple itself carries the judgment of Heaven, so twelve people dealing with two divine beasts is definitely more than enough.

Upon seeing the people from the Heavenly Mirror Temple appear, the two divine beasts immediately sensed something was wrong and then made almost the same choice: to flee for their lives.

The Arctic Snow Fox stopped attacking the Arctic Sacred Bear and dove into the ground, attempting to escape. The Arctic Sacred Bear did the same, running with all its might on its four thick legs. Although it looked comical, it was surprisingly fast.

"Go! Capture them! If you can win them over, spare their lives! If not, take their heads back to claim the credit!"

With a wave of his hand, the leader of the Tianjian Temple sent his men into two groups who then chased after the two divine beasts.

Because of the golden net, the two divine beasts had no chance to escape. Surrounded by two teams of black-robed judges, their paths were constantly cut off, and then, with the help of the golden net, they were driven towards the center.

This is a strategy of first surrounding and then killing.

"Jie!"

The Ice Fox bared its teeth in anger. With its superior intelligence, it clearly realized the predicament and wanted to make a final desperate attempt, so it swung its claws and pounced on the group.

Now is the best time to break out of the encirclement. If they wait until the encirclement tightens, they will have nowhere to run before the twelve black-robed judges.

"Little fox, you dare to resist!"

The black-robed judges' smiles grew even more excited when they saw the Ice Fox launch its attack. What could be more exciting than grabbing a snow-white little fox and rubbing it wildly?

At this moment, the Arctic Sacred Bear finally stopped fighting with the Arctic Snow Fox. It also saw through the sinister intentions of the people in front of it. Although it had been fighting with the Arctic Snow Fox for many years, these people came to kill them. Regardless of the outcome, they just wanted them dead.

Therefore, the only option is to resist.

The polar sacred bear suddenly went berserk, its enormous body not only tearing at the golden net, but also taking six black-robed judges into battle.

The two beasts displayed their talents to the fullest at this moment. As rebels against the Dao, their abilities were definitely beyond the scope of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, the combat power they unleashed under the crisis of life and death was far stronger than any of the black-robed judges.

However, there were not just one, but twelve black-robed judges! In addition, with the greatswords they wielded that possessed the power of judgment, the beastmen with only their physical bodies and claws were simply no match for the judges.

Bang! The Arctic Holy Bear slapped a black-robed judge away with one paw. Although it rendered the opponent unable to fight, the fatal effect of the Judgment Greatsword was activated.

"Awooooo!"

The polar sacred bear let out a series of low growls, blood seeping from its eyes, but in the end, it used some secret technique to not only avoid certain death, but also to increase its combat power many times over.

Of course, this comes at a price; the vitality of the polar sacred bear is constantly declining.

“It won’t last long,” Liu Zhaodi said calmly, looking at the polar sacred bear.

Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "That's right, it burned its bloodline. This polar holy bear should have an invincible bloodline, which is probably why it can devour the bloodlines of other spirit beasts, and also why the Heavenly Mirror Temple came knocking on its door."

"Let's wait and see how many Judges the two divine beasts can injure!"

Neither of them was in a hurry to make a move. Putting aside the power of the golden net of the Heavenly Mirror Temple, even if they wanted to rescue them in advance, being bitten back by the two divine beasts would truly be a scene from the fable of the farmer and the snake.
