Beast Taming: My Intelligence System-Chapter 856 - 539: Master Ming Xin

The Purple Robed Ghost Daoist was almost furious, but instead of lashing out, he forcibly restrained himself, waiting for the Ghost Lantern to calm down.

The Ghost Lantern extended its sharp teeth, nibbling voraciously on the remains of the Yin Soldiers.

The Yin Soldiers had no power to retaliate at all; often, they were half-eaten by the Ghost Lantern’s sharp teeth even before they touched it!

The sharp blades of the Yin Soldiers struck the Ghost Lantern as if cutting through cotton.

The Ghost Lantern’s figure instantly vanished.

Soon after, a piercing tongue penetrated the body of a Yin Soldier.

The Yin Soldiers all transformed into stones and fell to the ground, completely unable to fight back!

This disruption caused by the Ghost Lantern greatly affected the Purple Robed Ghost Daoist!

Of the Yin Soldiers he had painstakingly gathered, less than one in ten remained.

This was a trial he had promised to overcome, and if he let the Ghost Lantern continue rampaging, a significant portion of his interests would be harmed!

Fortunately, this turmoil lasted less than half a moment!

This was still within the range the Purple Robed Ghost Daoist could tolerate.

After the Ghost Lantern had eaten its fill, it retreated back into the void again!

With each Ghost Lantern in its place, a hidden black passageway appeared.

The black passageway was filled with cold winds, and the sounds of ghostly wailing and wolf howls emerged from within.

Clearly, this pitch-black passageway was another test left by Emperor Dongyue!

If someone lacking strength entered this black passageway, they would instantly perish within.

"Finally, it appears."

"Truly a blessing in misfortune!"

The Purple Robed Ghost Daoist let out a heavy sigh of relief.

If all the Yin Soldiers were devoured by the Ghost Lantern, he would likely have to pay a hefty price, and even resort to using his painstakingly refined Shadow Guards.

The Shadow Guards were treasures he had crafted with great effort!

These shadow legions could traverse in the shadows, their strength unparalleled; losing even one would make the Purple Robed Ghost Daoist regret deeply!

They were his trump cards at the bottom of the box!

Moreover, these trump cards could form a Shadow Grand Array, capable of contending against Tier Eight powerhouses, granting him time to vie for escape!

After all, it was agreed upon earlier that he would be responsible for the first trial.

If he refused, he wouldn’t share in the spoils!

"Old Purple Robe Ghost, it seems you’re somewhat unwilling; however, since you’ve already opened the door, we naturally won’t go back on our word."

"But it’s been a thousand years, why has your skill not improved at all!"

"Could it be that you’ve been buried in a pile of corpses for a thousand years?"

A frail, skeletal old figure emerged.

She leaned on a massive dragon-headed staff, her eyes revealing a wicked smile, her pupils large and bright yellow!

With a ferret’s fur wrapped around her waist.

This was Huangpi Granny, also a notorious dark practitioner; she could control a multitude of ferret spirits to serve her.

Legend has it that Huangpi Granny’s true form is also a massive ferret, but due to some opportunity, she shed her old skin early and attained immortality!

The ferret skin wrapped around her waist was her old skin!

The Purple Robed Ghost Daoist was displeased and glared back.

His originally livid face turned even more so, as if it had completely darkened!

"Huangpi Granny, could it be that you think I’m too old to wield a blade anymore?"

"The Jin Qian sword on my back pierced through your old skin a thousand years ago, don’t you remember?"

"Shall I help you recall?"

"The power of my Jin Qian sword!"

"You were at the peak of Tier Seven a thousand years ago, why haven’t you broken through yet? Must be all those evil deeds you’ve done!"

The Purple Robed Celestial Master’s personality is inherently unruly, and after becoming a zombie, his temper became more volatile.

For a defeated foe like Huangpi Granny to dare mock him was simply courting death!

Though both were at the peak of Tier Seven, the Purple Robed Celestial Master was confident he could use his unique Daoist techniques to obliterate Huangpi Granny!

"You..."

Huangpi Granny’s eyes transformed into those of a beast, filled with a wary expression.

She could never forget the unbearable pain when the Jin Qian sword pierced her body, a torment she truly didn’t want to experience again.

Moreover, she was currently transitioning into an immortal form and couldn’t allow her immortal form to encounter trouble, or else all would be for naught!

Ultimately, Huangpi Granny still feared the Jin Qian sword on the Purple Robed Celestial Master’s back.

The agony of that life-shattering pain from years ago was something she didn’t want to relive!

Thus, she swallowed her anger and retreated.

This was equivalent to being fiercely embarrassed by the Purple Robed Ghost Daoist in front of everyone!

Huangpi Granny endured humiliation in silence!

She couldn’t die, not before achieving her goals, she absolutely couldn’t die!

Enduring humiliation was nothing; if her death were meaningful and valuable, she was willing to sacrifice.

However! If she died ignorantly and meaninglessly, she’d rather endure quietly!

"Alright, alright, everyone is here for a common purpose; there’s no need for such heated confrontation."

"Amitabha."

"I shall mediate the dispute between you two benefactors!"

In deference to me, how about everyone reconciles here?"

A dried corpse in monks’ robes, carried by four papermen in a palanquin, arrived near Huangpi Granny.

His face, like that of dried bark, revealed an expression of benevolence!

In his hands, he held strings of perfectly polished prayer beads!

The dried corpse concealed vast spiritual power!
