Chapter 172: The Truth

Qin Jue never expected that he would actually see a husky in another world. Apart from its slightly bigger body, its appearance and expression were almost identical.

What else could it be?

The person who was most shocked was none other than Long Zhen. He had lived in this world for thousands of years and traveled extensively. What kind of fiend beasts had he not seen before?

But Long Zhen had never seen this one before!

“Roar, roar…”

The husky-like fiend beast looked up to the sky and roared, very dissatisfied with the intrusion of Qin Jue and the others.

“Human, it’s you again.”

The husky spoke in the human tongue, its tone cold as it stared at Yu Canghai with killing intent.

No matter what, it was still a Heaven Stage fiend beast. How could it tolerate being invaded by others multiple times?

“Hmph, you’re done for. I invited two Supreme Stage experts from the Xuanyi Mountain Sect just to destroy you!”

Although Yu Canghai didn’t know if Qin Jue and Long Zhen were Supreme Stage experts or not, it didn’t stop him from saying that to scare this Heaven Stage fiend beast.

“What?”

The husky was shocked. Then, under everyone’s shocked gazes, it turned around and ran back to the cave.

“…”

“Wait, there’s only one Supreme Stage expert in the Xuanyi Mountain Sect. How could there be two?”

As if realizing something, the husky ran out of the cave after a while and said proudly, “I’m not an idiot. Don’t even think about lying to me.”

Qin Jue :”…”

Long Zhen :”…”

This guy… should be pure-blooded.

However, the husky was right about one thing. The outside world did not know of Mu Ziqi’s existence for the time being, so they all thought that the Xuanyi Mountain Sect only had one Supreme Stage expert.

“Human, if you leave now, perhaps I can spare your lives.”

The husky’s expression changed as it said fiercely.

Everyone couldn’t help but shudder and look at Qin Jue.

After all, in their opinion, only Qin Jue could stop this wolf-like Heaven Stage fiend beast.

“Hmm?”

The husky also noticed this and looked down at Qin Jue. “You’re their leader?”

“I guess so.”

Qin Jue shrugged his shoulders and didn’t deny it.

“You don’t look like much.” The husky said proudly, “Take your men and leave. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

Bang!

At the next moment, The husky flew out and collided with the mountain wall behind it, embedded deeply into it.

“Ahhh!”

The husky screamed in pain. “Don’t kill me! No!”

Qin Jue :”…”

Was this thing really a Heaven Stage fiend beast?

Seeing Qin Jue walk over, the husky turned pale with fright, wishing it could crawl into the mountain wall. It no longer had its previous mighty and arrogant appearance.

“Don’t kill me. I’ve never hurt a human. Wuwuwu.”

At this point, a stream of heat spurted out from between the husky’s legs. It was so frightened that it pissed itself!

Hearing this, Qin Jue stopped and smiled. “Are you sure?”

“Wuwuwu, I’m sure.”

The husky nodded repeatedly, afraid that Qin Jue would punch it again.

“Patriarch Yu, you heard everything?”

Not far away, Yu Canghai’s body tensed up as he hurriedly shouted, “Senior, don’t listen to its nonsense. Those fiend beasts attacked the nearby villages and cities because of it.”

“Bullshit!”

The husky argued. “I’ve been here for 10 years and have never attacked humans. Don’t try to frame me!”

Yu Canghai panicked. If this continued, the husky would expose his lie sooner or later.

Without any time to think, Yu Canghai immediately pulled out the Earth Stage spirit artifact at his waist and transformed into an afterimage that stabbed towards the husky. “Bastard, die!”

Unfortunately, Yu Canghai had forgotten that the husky was a Heaven Stage fiend beast.

Although it seemed weak in front of Qin Jue, dealing with an Earth Stage cultivator was as easy as flipping its paw.

“Roar ~”

As expected, the husky raised its paw and slapped. The originally overbearing Yu Canghai immediately fell to the ground as if he had suffered a heavy blow. The spirit artifact in its hand was even covered in cracks and was almost broken.

However, because Qin Jue was beside it, the husky didn’t dare to continue attacking.

“You said you’ve been here for ten years?”

Qin Jue frowned slightly.

“Yeah.”

The husky nodded miserably. “During this time, I have never attacked any human.”

“Patriarch Yu, can you explain?”

Qin Jue put his hands behind his back and smiled.

“…”

Yu Canghai lay on the ground without answering, trying to bluff his way through again.

“Since you want to play dead, I’ll send you to hell.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Jue slowly raised his palm.

“No!”

Yu Canghai suddenly “woke up”, his face full of fear.

He knew that his plan had failed in the end.

“Speak, what exactly is going on here?”

Qin Jue retracted his fist and said indifferently.

At this point, Yu Canghai could no longer hold up his lie. He could only brace himself and speak about the cause and effect.

It turned out that when the Stargate Sect was disbanded, Mu Chen had escaped overnight and did not take anything with him. Therefore, the resources of the entire Stargate Sect had been divided among the nearby Martial Dao factions.

The Yu Clan happened to be given a treasure map from the Stargate Sect. It recorded the exact location of the treasure in detail and indicated that a large number of cultivation resources were stored inside.

One had to know that Yu Canghai was only half a step away from the Heaven Stage. How could he not be tempted?

Unfortunately, when Yu Canghai followed the instructions on the treasure map and led his clansmen into the Black Forest, he discovered that there was actually a Heaven Stage fiend beast occupying the location of the treasure!

This was also the reason why the husky knew Yu Canghai. Yu Canghai had already visited this place before.

Facing a Heaven Stage fiend beast, even if the Yu Clan used all their strength, they would still be completely no match for it.

Just as Yu Canghai was at a loss and was about to give up, the news of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect Master advancing to the Supreme Stage suddenly spread.

Therefore, after some thought, Yu Canghai set his sights on the Xuanyi Mountain Sect and surrendered 30% of his cultivation resources to become a vassal force of the sect.

Then, he used special methods to lure the fiend beasts to attack the nearby villages and cities so that he could ask for the help of the Xuanyi Mountain Sect. This was how this scene unfolded.

“Treasure? What treasure?”

The husky was dumbfounded. Why didn’t it know about the treasure?

“It’s… underground.”

Yu Canghai’s face turned ashen, and he almost cried.

He was filled with regret now.

If he had known earlier, he would have given the treasure map to the Xuanyi Mountain Sect. Perhaps they would have even received a reward. Now, not only was there nothing left, but he might even lose his life at any moment.

Boom!

Intense spirit energy fluctuations spread out, and soon after, a huge pit appeared and Qin Jue jumped down.

Seeing this, everyone hesitated for a moment before jumping down one after another, including Yu Canghai.

After falling for dozens of meters, an open space appeared in front of everyone. Qin Jue waved his hand, and beams of light lit up, enveloping the entire space.

However… It was empty.

That’s right, let alone cultivation resources, there weren’t even any ordinary spirit herbs.

“This is the secret treasure of the Stargate Sect that you mentioned?”

Yu Canghai :”…”

The projection was puzzled.

He had not hesitated to lure the fiend beasts and deceive the Xuanyi Mountain Sect. In the end, it was all for nothing?
