Immortal Only Accepts Female Disciples-Chapter 764: Cover Story

With He Zicheng subdued, only Qu Shen was left. The eagle lord of the Beast God Sanctum was surrounded with no hope of escape. Chen Wentian, Jasmine, Sundew, and Huo Tu made up four Spirit Kings, enough to kill him several times over. There were also nine Spirit Lords who all wanted his blood.

"Qu Shen, surrender now and I can spare your life," Jasmine said.

Qu Shen looked around him with an aggrieved expression. Never in his life could he have imagined such an end to the glorious era that he and his brothers started. He was not satisfied. He was still thinking of a way out of this situation even though there was none.

"Qu Shen," Jasmine said again, "The matters from five hundred years ago, I am willing to forgive and forget. I also know that the primary culprit for the destruction of the snake lord's faction was He Zicheng. If you surrender, you can follow me from now on and I can even make you stronger. If you don't, I will show you a fate worse than death."

She beckoned and Chen Wentian brought up He Zicheng. The lion lord was still covered in blood from head to toe. However, his spiritual aura had stabilized somewhat. His terrible wounds wouldn't threaten his life at the moment.

"My mother gifted the six beasts very powerful Lunar Blessings. You three brothers ate the flesh of three of the beasts, absorbing the blessing in the process, and took advantage of it to reach the Spirit King Realm. However, what was given can also be easily taken away. Watch closely."

Jasmine flew over to He Zicheng and raised the control plate to his head. She activated the spiritual arrays of the instrument and called upon a special function. The control plate glowed white with the power of moonlight. It shined upon He Zicheng while at the same time, rays of moonlight also erupted from his body, tearing fresh wounds. Even his eyes were not spared as beams of moonlight shot out from them, leaving behind bloody holes. Moonlight also poured out of his mouth, burning away his tongue as well as all of his teeth in the process.

All of that divine energy escaped He Zicheng and entered the control plate, leaving him wrinkled and gaunt. He was transformed into a bag of bones, a frail old man with one foot in the grave. He still carried the aura of a Spirit King but a casual strike from a Spirit Lord could probably end his miserable life.

"You... what did you..." He Zicheng wheezed.

Jasmine ignored him and faced Qu Shen, "Without the support of my Lunar Blessing, his cultivation will quickly regress. He might return to being a Spirit Lord in a year if he can live that long. So, what do you say? Do you want to become like him?"

Qu Shen trembled. He fearfully examined He Zicheng and let out a shuddering breath. He fell to his knees and kowtowed in submission.

"I surrender."

"Good!" Jasmine said. "Stay still and do not resist. I don't need you to swear loyalty or make useless spiritual oaths. You don't need to do anything at all."

She flew to him and raised the control plate above his head. A similar but different process took place. Qu Shen groaned as moonlight surged between him and the plate, establishing a connection that had been long broken. Instead of the eagle that her mother had captured hundreds of years ago, Qu Shen took its place instead. Through the bond facilitated by powers that far surpassed the Spirit King Realm, there was no chance for him to even think of disobeying.

"Good, you may call me Miss Jasmine. You will obey Chen Wentian the same way you obey me. As for my other subordinates, you are the lowest rank beneath Sundew and Huo Tu."

"Yes, Miss Jasmine." Qu Shen replied helplessly.

Chen Wentian chuckled.

The others relaxed, letting out sighs of relief and joining in the laughter. It had been a long and difficult battle. There were many difficult moments and some where things didn't go according to plan. However, due to being superior in many aspects such as intel, planning, schemes, as well as raw power, they were able to prevail and win the battle.

With this, Chen Wentian and Jasmine now ruled the east with three Spirit Kings under their command. They could be considered the strongest power in the subcontinent even if they couldn't reveal their status just yet. It was a tricky issue. He Zicheng had been right, if others discovered the truth, then their lives wouldn't be good from then on.

"Alright, Qu Shen," Chen Wentian said, "Here is what you need to do from now on, the reason we kept you alive. For this battle, this is the cover story you will describe to the Beast God Sanctum and the rest of the subcontinent..."

The story was that He Zicheng and Qu Shen got into an argument and battled above the city. He Zicheng was angry at Qu Shen for conspiring with Chen Wentian while Qu Shen blamed He Zicheng for all the problems the Beast God Sanctum was facing, beginning with the death of the snake lord.

After Chen Wentian disappeared, they went east to survey the border due to an emergency. There, they were ambushed by the three beast kings. During the battle, the monkey king suffered heavy wounds while He Zicheng wounded his vitality. Qu Shen was only able to escape due to the timely appearance of Mei Qiaofeng and Tie Buqun.

After this battle, Qu Shen, Mei Qiaofeng, and Tie Buqun made a deal to reestablish the snake lord's faction and completely reorganize the Beast God Sanctum. Since He Zicheng was incapacitated, Qu Shen's word was the law. Even if they were strange decrees, nobody would dare to go against them.

The new Beast God Sanctum would have the snake lord faction led by Mei Qiaofeng. Nan Lang would be the leader of the eagle lord faction and Qiu Chuyi would be the leader of the lion lord faction. Qu Shen would go into retirement and act as the sect's grand elder, not participating in internal affairs at all. As for He Xinghan, he would be imprisoned along with He Zicheng for their crimes of murdering the prior snake lord and his people.

All of this would be taken care of by Qu Shen. He would carry out Jasmine's will within the Beast God Sanctum and act as the figurehead. Since Mei Qiaofeng and Tie Buqun were in on the plan, they would be able to help him. Chen Wentian's various souls would also contribute and make sure that the new snake lord's faction could be established smoothly.

With this, there was finally peace in the Eastern Wilderness. Human cultivators and spiritual beasts could continue their endless battles but there would be no more monster invasions or wars. The Beast God Sanctum and the beast kings would never fight each other again.
