1567 It Was All Yu Huang’s Arrangement
“Yiyi!”
Seeing that Zhang Zhanyi was so frightened that she knelt down, Jing Ruge hurriedly reached out to support Zhang Zhanyi to prevent her from falling into the lake below. However, Jing Ruge’s expression was very gloomy and she was still terrified.
He had known Zhang Zhanyi since he was 30 years old and it had been more than 170 years since then. They had experienced many twists and turns together. Even when Zhang Zhanyi was fighting a super demon beast all alone, she had never cried out in pain or even frowned.
Jing Ruge loved Zhang Zhanyi’s calm and aloof temperament the most.
However, the woman kneeling in front of him was so distraught that she seemed very different from the calm and wise woman in his impression.
This was very strange.
Jing Ruge thought of Yu Huang’s words and Zhang Zhanyi’s reaction. After connecting the dots, he felt that something was wrong. “Madam, tell me, did you do something shady in the Demonic Beast Forest behind my back?” The fact that Jing Ruge called her ‘Madam’ meant that this matter was quite serious.
Zhang Zhanyi slowly raised her head and looked at Jing Ruge with a pale face.
The words were about to come out of her mouth, but Zhang Zhanyi didn’t dare to tell Jing Ruge the truth.
If the secret in the demon beast forest was announced to the world, the good reputation that Zhang Zhanyi had painstakingly built would be completely ruined. At that time, the Jing family disciples would be disappointed in her, while her daughter and husband would probably leave her as well.
That was what Zhang Zhanyi was most afraid of.
“Madam, are you unwilling to tell me?” Seeing that Zhang Zhanyi refused to tell him the secret of the Demonic Beast Forest, Jing Ruge said to the butler Qingxi, who was standing beside the longevity table, “Qingxi, my wife is not feeling well. Please help me take care of her. I have to go to the Demonic Beast Forest.”
Qingxi was a Prime Emperor big shot, and Zhang Zhanyi was only an intermediate-stage Prime Master, so her strength was above Zhang Zhanyi’s.
Jing Ruge sounded like he was asking Qingxi to take care of Zhang Zhanyi, but he was actually hinting to Qingxi to watch over Zhang Zhanyi tightly and not allow anything to happen to Zhang Zhanyi or allow Zhang Zhanyi to escape.
Zhang Zhanyi’s reaction made Jing Ruge realize that the secret in the Demonic Beast Forest probably wasn’t that simple.
Zhang Zhanyi could tell what Jing Ruge was implying. For the first time, she looked at Jing Ruge in disbelief and questioned him on the spot, “Ruge! What do you mean? You want Qingxi to monitor me? We’ve been husband and wife for more than a hundred years. You once said that you would protect me forever. What do you mean by this?”
Zhang Zhanyi used their husband-and-wife relationship to dissuade Jing Ruge, but Jing Ruge was unmoved.
Jing Ruge said, “Yiyi, don’t make me disappointed in you.”
With that, Jing Ruge flew towards the Demonic Beast Forest without looking back.
Seeing that everyone had flown to the Demonic Beast Forest, Zhang Zhanyi felt so terrified that she found it difficult to breathe.
Qingxi brought Zhang Zhanyi to the forest room at the edge of the Demonic Beast Forest and watched over her.
Divine Worship Mountain was an undulating mountain and there was a valley path to the north of the ice lake. They followed the path to the top and stood at the top of the mountain to look down. The forest that they could see belonged to the Jing family’s Demonic Beast Forest and there were more than ten powerful demon beasts raised in the Jing family’s Demonic Beast Forest. The weakest one had a level-eight demonic power cultivation level.
In the northernmost Divine Worship Cave of the Jing family’s Demonic Beast Forest, there was a rare super demon beast.
A thousand years ago, a cruel and evil super demon beast that liked to eat living humans appeared in the civilian world and ate nearly a quarter of the residents of the Starlight Empire’s Noah City overnight. After receiving the news, the Jing family joined forces with the Ye family to send out the strongest Beast Tamer warrior and fought a fierce battle with the super demon beast before completely subduing it.
That year, the little princess of the Ye family and the young master of the Jing family happened to hold a wedding, so the Ye family sent that super demon beast to the Jing family as a dowry.
The Jing family had been rearing that super demon beast in the Divine Worship Cave in the Demonic Beast Forest.
Because the Demonic Beast Forest reared powerful and murderous demonic beasts that were on the verge of extinction, in order to protect the disciples of the Jing family, the Jing family set the Demonic Beast Forest as a restricted area and prohibited disciples below the Prime Master level from entering the Demonic Beast Forest. Experts above the Prime Master level had to obtain the Patriarch’s permission to enter the Demonic Beast Forest with a pass
Therefore, to the Jing family disciples, the Demonic Beast Forest was a dangerous and mysterious place.
This was the first time Jing Jiaren had stepped into the Demonic Beast Forest.
As soon as she entered the airspace of the Demonic Beast Forest, Jing Jiaren felt the demonic power fluctuations of several powerful demon beasts. Among them, there were even a few demonic power fluctuations. They were so powerful that Jing Jiaren felt her hair stand on end.
At this moment, the ice flood dragon was like a large-scale ghost as it shuttled through the vast and dangerous demon beast forest. As it ran, it spat snow and flames into the forest. Thus, a portion of the trees in the entire demon beast forest were frozen by the ice and a portion were burned by the flames.
“It’s there!” Song Ji saw the figure of the level 9 ice flood dragon and hurriedly pointed in that direction.
However, he didn’t even move. He only stood in the void as he pointed out the direction.
Not only didn’t he move, but even Prime Emperor Mo Xiao and Prime Emperor Si Cheng stood quietly behind Song Ji.
Seeing that they didn’t move, the Song family members and the other VIPs who had come to watch the commotion didn’t move either. Jing Jiaren gritted her teeth and took off the golden hairpin on her head before flying towards the ice flood dragon resolutely.
As Jing Jiaren stood on the crown of a huge tree that was frozen by ice, she held the golden hairpin in her hand and drew many seals in the air before hitting the running ice flood dragon.
The Jing family’s disciples mainly cultivated array formations. Jing Jiaren was a powerful spell cultivator and battle-assisted Beast Tamer. Under the enhancement of the array formation, her spiritual power seemed even more powerful and ruthless. The seals that filled the sky turned into an inverted cup in the air and covered the forest the ice flood dragon was about to enter.
However, the flood dragon predicted the landing point of Jing Jiaren’s cultivation technique in advance.
It suddenly turned to run in another direction, perfectly avoiding Jing Jiaren’s attack.
And the direction it ran in was the northernmost area of the Demonic Beast Forest, Divine Worship Cave.
Seeing this, Jing Jiaren frowned and some doubts flashed across her mind. Was the IQ of a level 9 Ice Flood Dragon that high? It was only an ordinary high-level demon beast and had not activated its divine sense, so how could it predict her attack?
Jing Jiaren suddenly looked at Yu Huang, who was watching the commotion beside Song Ji. She saw Yu Huang staring at the ice flood dragon while her lips quivered slightly, as if she was giving an order.
Suddenly, Jing Jiaren thought of a detail that she had overlookedâ
Purifying Spirit Masters could communicate with all things.
Did this mean that Yu Huang could establish soul communication with the ice flood dragon?
Jing Jiaren quickly realized that the sudden loss of control of the ice flood dragon was just Yu Huang’s arrangement. She deliberately gave her grandmother a level 9 ice flood dragon as a congratulatory gift in the name of her sect. A level 9 ice flood dragon was destructive and precious. Since the Jing family had received such an expensive gift, they definitely couldn’t let anything happen to it.
The vast and densely forested Demonic Beast Forest was the best residence for the ice flood dragon. As long as the ice flood dragon could be imprisoned in the Demonic Beast Forest, Yu Huang only needed to control the ice flood dragon at a suitable time to cause chaos in the Demonic Beast Forest.
She would use another excuse to bring all the VIPs to the Demonic Beast Forest and take the opportunity to find the ‘Soul Suppressing Beast’. At that time, the secret of the Soul Suppressing Beast would be revealed.
Yu Huang deliberately dressed up like her aunt, Jing Rujiu, and deliberately exposed her identity so that the Jing family would take the initiative to expose her identity as Jing Rujiu’s daughter. Then, once the secret of the Soul Suppressing Beast was made public, Yu Huang, Jing Rujiu’s daughter, could use this opportunity to avenge her mother.
To be able to think of such a meticulous arrangement, Yu Huang’s schemingness and shrewdness were really terrifying.
Jing Jiaren suddenly realized that in terms of shrewdness, she was no match for Yu Huang.
[Whether you want to accompany me to find out out the truth, or continue to hide in your turtle shell and deceive yourself, it’s your choice.] The words Yu Huang had said to Jing Jiaren in the washroom surfaced in Jing Jiaren’s mind again.
As Jing Jiaren looked at the ice flood dragon that was running further and further away, a look of struggle flashed across her eyes.
