Taming Beasts - Chapter 103: Snakes and Scorpions

"Okay, teacher!" Shi Yan said solemnly.

Canglan controlled Shi Yan's body, standing quietly on the ice field, looking at the cultivators who were chasing him. There was no contempt in his eyes, but rather seriousness.

"This is the first lesson I teach you. No matter what kind of opponent you face, you must go all out and never underestimate it!" Canglan's voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word hit Shi Yan's heart. "This matter sounds simple, but it is extremely difficult to do it. Some things that are easily overlooked can sometimes become your biggest failure!"

"Disciple understands!" Shi Yan nodded solemnly.

Shi Yan stood on the ice field, his tall and straight figure came into everyone's sight. Although they were puzzled as to why Shi Yan would stop to wait for them, given their confidence in their own cultivation and the power of Beichen Water, everyone still followed him.

What surprised Shi Yan was that the ones at the front were still Black Arhat Nianlu and Wave Shark Bei Kuizhen. Although they were seriously injured, they were still stronger than other cultivators. The two who had been famous for so many years were indeed not to be underestimated. Even though they were surpassed by the younger generation in recent years and gradually forgotten by the later generations, their strength was real!

Not only Shi Yan, other cultivators were also frightened. They were glad that they did not take advantage of the situation, otherwise they would not know how they would die.

Bei Kuizhen used all his strength to suppress the injuries in his body. His face was pale, and he looked at Shi Yan with cold eyes. "This little flea-like person actually dared to plot against me! If it weren't for the fact that the Beichen Water needs to be stored with extreme caution and is easily spread by external forces, I would have slapped him to death long ago!"

He glanced to the north and said, "Ji Zichen, this matter is over. My agreement with you has been reached. I hope you can keep your promise!"

Ji Zichen, who was standing on the top of a distant mountain, looked over with a sense of something, opened his hand fan with a "snap", grinned and said, "Of course!"

At this moment, Ji Zichen was standing on the top of the highest peak of Hanji Mountain. The cold wind blew his black hair all over the sky. He quietly watched the battle between Mo Zixuan, Fenghuang and Mao Yixian below the mountain. "Tattattatt" there was a sound of footsteps behind him. He turned around with a playful smile on his face, looked at him with interest, and said with a smile: "What? You don't want to go down to help her?"

Gong Yangzhongyu shook off the blood stains on his sword and wiped his bloody face with the back of his hand. As he had just experienced a fierce battle with the spirit snake, his body was covered with scarlet snake blood. He walked over silently, stood beside Ji Zichen, looked down the mountain, shook his head and said nothing.

Ji Zichen sneered and didn't care, but he opened his folding fan and shook it gently and said: "Aren't you good friends with Shi Yan from Huajian Sect? How come you are indifferent when her senior sister is in trouble? As far as I know, Mo Zixuan is quite important to Shi Yan. If he knew..." He didn't finish his words, but the implication was clear on his face.

Gong Yang Zhongyu glanced at him indifferently, expressionless, "I am on good terms with Shi Yan, what does it have to do with you? What does it have to do with her?"

"Is it irrelevant?" Ji Zichen looked at Gong Yang Zhongyu with his slender eyes teasingly, "Shi Yan obtained the Water of Beichen. You stand with me, aren't you afraid that I will go and snatch it away?" At the end of his words, his eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a cold light.

Gong Yang Zhongyu ignored Ji Zichen's chilling gaze and replied calmly, "Put away all those little thoughts of yours. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Ji Zichen smiled calmly, putting away the cold light in his eyes, "Brother Gongyang, you misunderstood. I'm just curious. How could Shi Yan, who was heard to be a useless person with a meridian transformation, make you look at him with such admiration? I've known you, Brother Gongyang, for so many years, but this is the first time I've seen you care so much about someone."

At the mention of this, Gong Yangzhongyu's ink-black eyebrows raised an imperceptible arc, "What I pursue is the highest swordsmanship in the world. I am not interested in anything else. Do you think that there is anyone who uses a sword in the Zimu Liuhua Domain that I care about?" He recalled the day when he collided with Shi Yan's sword while holding the sword borrowed from Xiangtian, and that day when he returned miserably defeated. He originally thought that he had the highest swordsmanship in the Zimu Liuhua Domain, but he realized that he was complacent and only looked at the world from a narrow perspective.

The way of sword is more than that!

"From what you said, does it mean that Shi Yan's swordsmanship is stronger than anyone else in Zimu Liuhua Territory?" Ji Zichen raised his eyebrows, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

“Not really, but it did help me open a door!” Gong Yang Zhongyu shook his head slightly, thinking, “It helped me destroy the well.”

"According to what you said, I'm also interested in him!" Although he said so, the disdainful look in his eyes became more and more intense, "A piece of trash at the third level of Huamai is actually worthy of your attention. It seems that you, Gongyang Zhongyu, are just so-so. You are not worthy of being on par with me!" Ji Zichen thought lightly.

On the other side, You Haoran had his hair loose, looking very wild. His eyes were like a wild beast staring at Shi Yan standing on the ice field. He licked his lips with the tip of his tongue, smiled cruelly, and tried to squeeze forward, "This time, watch how I kill you!"

At this time, a delicate jade hand blocked his way, "Your spirit beast is dead, and the damage to your body has not yet fully recovered. Let me go this time!"

"Haha, that's fine. No matter how cunning this loser is, he can't do anything wrong." You Haoran smiled evilly.

After saying that, she flew forward and stood opposite Shi Yan.

"Ni Hong!" Shi Yan was slightly surprised by the sudden appearance of the woman in front of him. Then his eyes darkened and his face became solemn. "How dare this woman come out!"

Canglan, who had taken over Shi Yan's body, suddenly became excited and said to Shi Yan in his heart, "I can smell the scent of Beichen Water on her. It seems that Beichen Water is really on them!"

"Sure enough, it's all her fault." Shi Yan kept searching among the crowd, "Since he is here, You Haoran must be here too. The Water of Beichen must be on You Haoran's body!"

Amid the noise of the crowd, Ni Hong slowly walked out of the crowd and shouted loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet. Everyone, please be quiet."

As she shouted, everyone slowly quieted down.

"Everyone knows that the Water of Beichen is on Shi Yan's body. I have just proved it with the mirage crystal." Ni Hong looked around and said lightly.

Everyone nodded and listened to her next words quietly. Although Ni Hong had no right to speak in front of these people with her cultivation level, because she told everyone where the North Star Water went, not many people had any objections to her standing up.

Cang Lan controlled Shi Yan's body, crossed his arms, and looked at Ni Hong with interest, "Let's see what other tricks she can come up with!"

Shi Yan smacked his lips and nodded, "Ni Hong is such a vicious woman, I also want to know how far she can go."

So both of them remained silent and watched Ni Hong's performance silently.

"Everyone understands that Shi Yan and I are both disciples of Huajian Sect. Our Huajian Sect originally only accepts women, and we are like brothers." Ni Hong looked around with an unnatural look on her face. After making sure that there was no sign of Mo Zixuan, she felt relieved and continued, "The Sect Master felt sorry for him and took him in as a disciple, making him the only male disciple of Huajian Sect."

They nodded. This incident caused quite a stir in the Zimu Liuhua Region, and these cultivators who usually had nothing to do had generally heard about it.

"This time we found the North Star Water in the far north, and the headmaster ordered us to come together. After a lot of hard work, we finally found it. But who knew that he was greedy and framed us, took the North Star Water and escaped." Ni Hong showed a sad and melancholy look, with moist eyes, and said with a little cry, "Poor senior sister is still seriously injured..."

Hearing this, the cultivators surrounding Shi Yan all showed indignation on their faces, and were ready to fight. Although they would probably do the same thing if they were the person involved, people are like this. When nothing happens, they like to think of themselves as good people, hypocritical people who protect the way of righteousness and slay demons.

Ni Hong spoke with a tender and charming voice, her eyes full of tears and she looked very pitiful. When she spoke at the high pitch, her voice rose high, which excited everyone.

However, Shi Yan sneered in his heart as he watched Ni Hong's wonderful fake performance, "To be honest, this little girl really has a talent for acting. Look at the people around her, everyone is fooled by her. If I were not the person involved and knew the whole story, I would probably be the same as these people."

Shi Yan suppressed his inner anger and smiled helplessly.

"Ah, Senior Sister is still in love with that thief! It's really degrading!"

When Shi Yan heard Ni Hong knocking on the ground and defiling Mo Zixuan, he couldn't help but get furious and couldn't bear it any longer!

"Haha, you are such an impatient kid." His palm suddenly tightened, and a stream of hot air burst out of it, forming a flaming spear that stabbed out with explosive energy. "Watch everything I do, and remember, I do it for you. I only do it once, and how much you can understand depends on you!"

"I understand!" Shi Yan nodded.

Canglan nodded slightly, shouted loudly, shook his spear, swooped down and took Ni Hong's head.

"This is a spear style, which is similar to your Lingxi Finger, but its power is far beyond your Lingxi Finger!" Canglan explained to Shi Yan while using the flaming spear, "Write down the direction of the spiritual power in detail!"

When Ni Hong saw Shi Yan rushing towards her, a trace of disdain and viciousness flashed in her eyes. She suddenly flew back and cried out, "You hurt Senior Sister Mo, do you want to hurt me too?"

"Hmph, what's the point of bullying a weak woman!" Someone in the crowd cursed angrily and tried to help, but was knocked away by the flaming spear, spitting out blood and flew out.

"Is this a loser?" Everyone was stunned. The man just now was a cultivator of the third level of Condensation Qi. Although it was not high, according to Ni Hong, Shi Yan only had the cultivation level of the third level of Transformation Meridians. The gap was not ordinary. Could it be...

"His strength increased in a short period of time because of the amplification of the North Star Water. Don't be afraid!"

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

After hearing that man's words, all the cultivators took out their magic weapons and summoned spirit beasts to rush towards Shi Yan.

Shi Yan looked in the direction where the voice came from, only to see a man in purple clothes smiling evilly at him, and then putting on a bronze mask.

"You Haoran!"

Amid the siege of the crowd, Shi Yan watched him and Ni Hong leave.

"Enjoy it!" Ni Hong looked back and smiled, her red lips slightly parted, laughing silently.
