An elder skilled in tracking and intelligence reported, “It is basically confirmed that the Myriad Souls Demon Sect is the mastermind behind this!”
“They offered heavy rewards and provided demonic pills and artefacts to incite Zhen Gu. Those mysterious figures were the demon sect’s hidden agents!”
“Myriad Souls Demon Sect! Hun Sha!!”
Lie Tian clenched his fists tightly, nails digging deep into his flesh, his eyes burning with bone-deep hatred. “If this vengeance is not avenged, I, Lie Tian, swear I will not remain human!”
“Sect Leader, what should we do now?” one elder asked in bewilderment.
Having lost the sect’s foundation, they were like rootless duckweed.
Lie Tian took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
“The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has not yet been destroyed! As long as we are still alive, there is hope for rebuilding! The most urgent task is to find Senior Chen Ping!”
“Yes! Find the senior!”
Shi Yan and Ying Wu’s eyes lit up, as if they had found their backbone. “The senior’s wisdom and strength far surpass ours. He will surely have a way to help us retake the sect and avenge our wrongs!”
Lie Tian nodded. “Exactly. Senior Chen Ping went to the Profound Heaven Sword Sect. We do not know the situation there now. We must contact him as soon as possible.”
He looked at Shi Yan and Ying Wu. “Shi Yan, Ying Wu, you are my most trusted disciples and have the closest relationship with the senior.”
“I order you each to lead a team of clever and reliable disciples. One team to the Profound Heaven Sword Sect, the other to scout near the old site of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, to gather information and search for the senior’s whereabouts.”
“Remember, safety first. Once you discover traces of the senior or encounter danger you cannot handle, withdraw immediately. Do not engage stubbornly!”
“Yes, Sect Leader!” Shi Yan and Ying Wu accepted the order in unison, their eyes resolute.
“The rest of you, follow me to establish a temporary camp here. Heal your wounds, cultivate, and gather the scattered disciples.”
“At the same time, closely monitor the movements of the fused beast clan and the Myriad Souls Demon Sect.”
Lie Tian arranged matters. “The Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range is our beast clan’s home ground. As long as we remain in these mountains, we still have a chance!”
…
At this moment, at the former site of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.
The once-sacred sect ground had now changed owners.
Zhen Gu sat on the sect leader’s throne that had belonged to Lie Tian. Although the throne seemed somewhat cramped for his massive frame, his face was filled with a triumphant and ferocious smile.
Below the hall stood the leaders of the fused beast clan, some opportunistic turncoats who had switched sides, and several representatives of the Myriad Souls Demon Sect’s hidden agents who had not yet departed.
“Congratulations, Leader Zhen Gu. No, now it should be Sect Leader Zhen Gu! You have finally taken control of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect!”
One demon sect agent congratulated him with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
Zhen Gu laughed heartily, his voice making the hall hum. “It is all thanks to your sect’s great assistance! From this day forward, the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect will be renamed the ‘Fused Beast Holy Sect’! I, Zhen Gu, am the first sect leader!”
He looked down and declared, “Pass my command. Clear the battlefield. Hang the corpses of all resisters outside the mountain gate for public display! Those who surrender may be spared death! Those who resist will be killed without mercy!”
“Yes, Sect Leader!”
The fused beast leaders responded excitedly. They had finally turned the tables. Though the methods were bloody, the long suppression left them with only the pleasure of revenge in this moment.
“Additionally, intensify the search for the whereabouts of Lie Tian and the other remnants! We must not allow them to rise from the ashes!” Zhen Gu ordered, fully aware of the threat posed by Lie Tian and his group.
“Sect Leader Zhen Gu, rest assured. Our sect will also send additional personnel to assist in the search.”
The demon sect agent smiled. “However, the matters that Sect Leader promised our sect…”
Zhen Gu waved his massive hand. “Rest easy! This seat keeps his word! From this moment on, the Fused Beast Holy Sect forms an alliance with the Myriad Souls Demon Sect. We advance and retreat together!”
“The three spirit stone veins on the western side of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range will be yours to mine! In the future, if needed, disciples of my holy sect can also be at your disposal!”
“Straightforward! Sect Leader Zhen Gu is truly a man of his word!”
The demon sect agent nodded in satisfaction. Sect Master Hun Sha’s plan had succeeded. Although they had not personally destroyed the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, causing it to fracture internally and propping up an obedient puppet regime yielded even better results.
Not only had they greatly weakened their opponent, but they had also gained tangible benefits.
News of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect changing hands spread like wings across the Tenth Heaven, causing enormous shock.
No faction had expected that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, formed by the union of multiple beast groups and one of the top powers in the Tenth Heaven, would collapse in an instant in this manner, replaced by the fused beast clan that had always been regarded as marginal.
And at this very moment, far away visiting the Profound Heaven Sword Sect, Chen Ping was still enjoying various spiritual liquid baths arranged by Ling Yuanzi, along with massages from several female disciples. He had no idea at all that the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect had changed owners.
