984 Subduing the Void Beast (3)

“It’s an ancient and exotic Void Beast. Many places in the Divine Court liked to use this creature for guardianship.”

“These Void Beasts are incredibly fast, surviving in the void and able to move without making a sound.”

On a flying ship in the rear, Li Qingshi was accompanied by several elderly men with white beards, conversing in low voices.

They all had excited expressions, and some of them were even holding ancient books in their hands.

The Medicine Valley had selected a hundred elder disciples to accompany them this time, and compet.i.tion was fierce.

In order to claim one of the hundred spots, the elders showcased their alchemy skills, knowledge of medicinal properties, and various other means of proving themselves. Ultimately, a hundred alchemists were chosen 10 days ago.

Among them, there were 30 Elders and Deacons and 70 disciples.

This distribution ratio was the result of extensive discussions among the Medicine Valley elders.

If they had followed everyone’s wishes, even the hundred spots reserved for the elder officials would not have been enough.

As alchemy cultivators, who wouldn’t dream of entering the coveted Divine Court Medicinal Garden?

However, the sect had to continue to develop, and the cultivation of the younger disciples was of paramount importance.

The Medicine Valley had undergone significant changes, with most of the elders and disciples dispersing. The current level of the sect’s younger generation was far from sufficient.

Fortunately, most of the Elders and Deacons who could stay in the Cloud Heaven Medicine Valley were loyal to the sect.

This allowed the disciples to have the opportunity to come here.

“It’s not easy to defeat an ancient exotic beast,” a middle-aged alchemist who followed behind Li Qingshi spoke with a worried expression, his voice low.

As soon as he said this, the others also became tense.

Li Qingshi shook his head and did not speak. He only raised his head and looked ahead.

These Void Beasts were difficult to deal with.

But that also depended on who was facing them.

There were probably many people under the command of Prime Minister Han of the Heavenly Mystic who could defeat the Void Beasts, right?

The gray fog churned, giving a sense of envelopment.

The 36 sword lights that cut through the clouds and mist turned and descended, intersecting below.

The sword lights transformed into a net, with the power of the stars gently enveloping an area of tens of thousands of feet. Then, all the power transformed into resilient ropes, locking the strange beasts that were besieging Gao Xiaoxuan and Daoist Dayan.

It was as simple as that.

Nearly a hundred Void Beasts were trapped by golden chains and kept struggling, but they could not break free at all.

“These Void Beasts have strong bodies, formidable combat power, and fast speed. They would make excellent spiritual mounts,” Han Muye chuckled and spoke.

He turned around and looked at the sword cultivators behind him. “Go and try to subdue these Void Beasts.”

Subdue the strange beasts?

Everyone looked at each other.

“Haha, Senior Brother Han, forget it. This Void Beast can’t carry me.” Xiang Lingshuang, who had a pair of curved swords on her back, grinned.

He was from the Elephant Clan. Not only was he tall, but he was also as heavy as a mountain when he revealed his true body. Not to mention the Void Beast, even the strongest exotic beast could not carry him. He did not need it.

“I’ll give it a try.” He Xuanqi, who also had two long and short swords on his back, flashed out of the flying ship and landed in front of a Void Beast.

“Slash—”

With a sweep of his sword, the chains on the Void Beast were cut off.

The Void Beast that was curled up and struggling turned around and stood up. It charged towards He Xuanqi and slammed its front paw down ruthlessly.

He Xuanqi did not dodge. He unsheathed the short sword in his left hand and took a step forward, stabbing the neck of the Void Beast with the short sword.

“Slash—”

Blood splattered as the Void Beast fell to the ground in despair.

It was dead.

He Xuanqi shook his head, turned around, and looked at another Void Beast. With a sweep of his long sword, the chains were severed.

The Void Beast stood up and looked at He Xuanqi, a hint of fear flashing in its eyes. Lifting its four legs, it turned around and fled.

He Xuanqi chuckled and shook his head. He transformed into a whirlwind, chasing after the fleeing Void Beast, his long and short swords creating arcs of light that enveloped the creature.

Blood and scales scattered as the Void Beast howled in pain. By the time it fell to the ground hundreds of feet away, it was drenched in blood, not a single patch of intact flesh remaining.

He Xuanqi turned back, squatting down with his sword pressed against the neck of a Void Beast, and whispered, “I need a mount. Are you interested?”

The terrified Void Beast nodded with its stiffened head.

When He Xuanqi returned to the deck of the flying boat, a small beast the size of a palm obediently followed by his feet.

“Is this even possible?” The alchemists behind Li Qingshi all had bewildered expressions.

Li Qingshi’s face was solemn as he spoke in a low voice, “Do you see now? Minister Han Xiang of the Heavenly Mystic has many talented individuals. To stand out, you need extraordinary means.

“Do you think anyone can compare to his methods and temperament?”

His words made the alchemists behind him unconsciously look at the two Void Beasts that had been brutally slain by He Xuanqi. A chill ran down their spines, and a sense of unease filled their hearts.
