Chapter 022 Unwilling to Pledge Allegiance
"Did you all feel the power last night?" The sacred beast Xuanwu spoke first.
The other holy beasts all sighed.
"Such a strong fluctuation, after all, they are all holy beasts, how could they not feel it? They are divine beasts."
"I never thought that we could encounter a divine beast in our Xuanhuang Continent!"
"But this isn't a good thing for us right now. According to the ironclad rule passed down from ancient times, when a divine beast appears, all other beasts obey its orders. Any who disobey will die. However, although the powerful fluctuations yesterday were intense, we've all lived for so many years and can all tell that it wasn't an adult divine beast, but simply a cub, perhaps even a newly born one... So how can we obey that ironclad rule? Are we supposed to obey the orders of a little kid from now on?"
After these words were spoken, the other sacred beasts all looked at each other, with unwillingness in their eyes.
The sacred beast Suzaku said slowly, "No matter what you think, I absolutely do not want to listen to another little kid. Anyway, the divine beast hasn't appeared before me yet, so we can just pretend we didn't see it and pretend we don't know what happened last night... I intend to go into seclusion from today until the divine beast leaves this Snow Moon Forest."
The other holy beasts all became thoughtful, wondering whether this method was feasible.
Everyone started talking about it.
"Suzaku's idea is good. Anyway, the mythical beast hasn't appeared before us. So what if we pretend we don't know about it?"
"That's right. If we accidentally encounter the beast and don't follow the iron rules, there might be thunder. But now we haven't actually encountered the beast, so let's pretend we didn't notice the strong fluctuation yesterday."
"I'm going to go into seclusion. I plan to do so from now on. As long as that divine beast doesn't leave this forest, I will definitely not come out."
"We are in seclusion, but there are countless other high-level profound beasts in this forest. What should we do with them?"
"Who cares about those little guys? If they have good sense, they can just get out of the way. If they don't have good sense, what happens next has nothing to do with us." The sacred beast White Tiger said unhappily.
Everyone looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Not long after, the several sacred beasts surrounding the area disappeared without a trace.
If it was an adult divine beast, these holy beasts would pledge allegiance to it. The other party has the bigger fist, so what the other party says is what they do. But if it was just a little divine beast cub, who among these old creatures who have lived for tens of thousands of years would be willing to pledge allegiance to a little cub?
It’s better to leave cleanly.
At the same time, Shen Yichuan outside couldn't help but frown slightly.
They have now entered the high-level mystical beast area. They thought that with so many high-level cultivators, even if this is a high-level mystical beast area, most of the mystical beasts that are no match for them will avoid it.
However, they didn't expect that this was not the case at all. After they entered this area, high-level mysterious beasts came here in waves, even those who came to die. Moreover, these high-level mysterious beasts were all very brave and violent. When they knew that they were defeated by their opponents and were injured, they would actually drag their opponents to self-destruct and die together!
Therefore, the team has already suffered casualties. Although the current casualties are only a few, this is because they have the protection of the Martial Emperor. If not, I am afraid that their team would have more than half of them killed or injured! You know, those Martial Emperors are all taking action now!
So, looking at the battle between humans and beasts in front of him, Shen Yichuan frowned slightly.
"Father..." The twins were also deeply shocked, their faces solemn. "Why are there so many high-level profound beasts?"
"Yeah..." Shen Yichuan looked at the various high-level mysterious beasts that were still coming in an endless stream, his eyes deep, and felt that something was wrong with this phenomenon.
At this moment, the Golden Protector suddenly landed in front of Shen Yichuan and the twins.
Shen Yichuan looked at the other party and said, "Golden Protector, there are too many high-level mysterious beasts in front of us. I wonder if there is any reason for this."
"Master Shen, we thought the same thing, so we came over to tell Master Shen that Lao Qian and I plan to go deeper inside to see if there is any reason why these high-level mysterious beasts are coming in such large numbers. However, in order to avoid any accidents to the team, we should all retreat to the periphery first. What do you think, Master Shen?"
The Golden Protector came here for this matter.
Shen Yichuan nodded immediately, "That's great."
The team then began to retreat, with Guardians Jin and Qian heading further in. With the remaining two Martial Emperors guarding them, they were able to retreat safely. The high-level mystical beasts didn't pursue the team after they retreated, allowing them to finally rest and recuperate.
At this moment, somewhere in the high-level profound beast area, Zhang Huaan sneered, "Keep deploying! Make sure more high-level profound beasts attack the Qi family team!"
"Yes!" A subordinate responded and immediately took the order and left.
