Chapter 404: Subduing the Beast Taming Sect's Beast Taming Lineage!
Chapter 404: Subduing the Beast Taming Sect's Beast Taming Lineage!
August 31, 2024
"Such a thing?!"
The Beast Taming Sect disciples were shocked.
"This... Saint Child, is this true?"
"Yes, Saint Child. Our Beast Taming Sect has a foundation of tens of thousands of years. How could it merge with another sect? Although we have a good relationship with the Moon Holding Sect and have been exchanging resources, I still think it's unlikely to merge."
Upon hearing this, the Saint Child frowned.
"You don't believe it?"
"Could it be that I, the Saint Child, am deceiving you?"
"Moreover, you all know that this matter is of great importance and should not be spoken of lightly. How could I, the Saint Child, not know this?!"
"I'll tell you anyway!"
He set up a soundproof barrier and even lowered his voice further, "This is a secret within the sect. I happened to overhear the elders discussing it when I wanted to enter the council hall to seek guidance from the Master."
"At that time, the elders had already voted."
"Unfortunately, to avoid exposure, I couldn't wait for the result, so I don't know what the outcome was."
"But there's still no news, so I fear that the opposing elders are in the majority, which is why this matter has been shelved. However... I, the Saint Child, can guarantee with my head that some of the sect's high-ranking members indeed have this intention, at least some of them!"
He clenched his teeth, "This He Anxia, he's too much!"
"Relying on the Moon Holding Sect's resources to grow quickly, does he really think he's so great? If I had the same resources, surpassing him would be a piece of cake!"
"What a pity!!!"
"It's a pity we couldn't successfully merge with the Moon Holding Sect, otherwise..."
"Saint Child!"
The Holy Daughter, who had regained her senses, quickly said, "Be careful with your words!"
"Our Beast Taming Sect has a foundation of tens of thousands of years, how could we..."
"Yes, it's indeed a foundation of tens of thousands of years!" But the Saint Child seemed dazed, gritting his teeth, "But what's the use of this foundation now? It's just a burden! A former subordinate of mine is now capable of wiping us all out with a flip of his hand!"
"What is he relying on?"
"Nothing but the abundant resources of the Moon Holding Sect!"
"If we merge with the Moon Holding Sect and become their Beast Taming Lineage, with their support, we will surely grow rapidly, and our strength will far surpass what it is now."
"Only then... will we not disappoint the spirits of our ancestors!"
His words seemed to convey a willingness to 'surrender,' but for some reason, they sounded like a wake-up call to the crowd.
Mainly...
He Anxia had gone too far!
He had oppressed them mercilessly!
He even had the audacity to say, 'Death Comes First'...
At that moment, they all harbored immense anger, and a shared thought emerged—they had to suppress He Anxia and tear his mouth apart!
They wanted to show him that they were even more capable than he was!
However, they also understood that if they remained in the Beast Taming Sect without a 'major change,' they would never catch up to He Anxia in their entire lives.
Coincidentally, at that moment, they learned that some high-ranking members had the idea of merging with the Moon Holding Sect...
This...
was an opportunity!
"Saint Child!"
Someone spoke in a low voice, "According to your opinion, what should we do now?"
"What should we do?"
The Saint Child narrowed his eyes, "How would I know?"
"I only know..."
"If we could join the Moon Holding Sect, He Anxia... humph, would be easily eliminated!"
After saying this, he brushed his sleeves and left.
The Beast Taming Sect disciples looked at each other in confusion. At first, they were perplexed, but gradually, they seemed to understand, and their eyes lit up.
Everything...
was understood without words.
...
The Beast Taming Sect disciples took action.
They didn't need to discuss anything privately, as it was unnecessary.
Everyone's thoughts were as clear as a mirror.
Immediately after.
The Beast Taming Sect's teachers were all stunned.
Wave after wave of disciples, in pairs or twos or alone, came forward.
Their purpose was singular—to cry and appeal.
They cried about their weakness, the lack of benefits in the Beast Taming Sect, and how they were bullied without the means to seek revenge. Then... they either directly or indirectly implied their desire to merge with the Moon Holding Sect.
"This..."
"What nonsense!"
It should be known that not all elders and teachers were part of the Beast Taming Sect's high-ranking members.
Many things were unknown to them.
For example, the previous vote held by Chen Chen and others behind closed doors was something only the sect's high-ranking members knew about. Ordinary transmission officials and elders? They knew nothing!
Suddenly, their 'disciples' cried to them, and then directly asked to merge with the Moon Holding Sect, making their scalps go numb and their souls tremble.
"Damn!"
"Damn!"
"Damn!!! Damn!!!"
"Do my disciples have a rebellious bone in their heads? They want the Beast Taming Sect to merge with the Moon Holding Sect?"
"This... this... if the sect's high-ranking members find out, won't I be blamed for betraying my master and ancestors, misleading my disciples, and teaching them illegally?"
No, this won't do!
"I must report this to the sect's high-ranking members immediately. If I'm late, my fate will be..."
"Utterly miserable!"
Their scalps tingled, and they hurried out of their caves and offices, heading towards the sect's main hall to report the matter to the sect leader, Qu Si Fei.
On the way, they suddenly encountered 'fellow travelers.'
A problem arose.
Although they were all 'like-minded' at that moment, they thought these people had evidence of their disloyalty and were going to report them to the sect.
This...
was unacceptable!
I must hurry! One leads to another.
One person accelerated...
The others were startled and immediately mustered all their strength to chase after him at top speed!
They couldn't let them go and report this!
Even if they had to 'confess and be lenient,' it would be better than nothing!
But... why should I confess when I haven't done anything wrong?
Damn it!
"Ouch, these rebellious disciples have really made my life miserable."
They inwardly lamented.
In a hurry, they rushed to the sect hall and without hesitation, they all knelt down.
"Sect Master!" they cried out.
"Sect Master!"
"I'm guilty, I repent."
"I surrender, Sect Master!"
"..."
They cried and wailed, but at the same time, they suddenly froze, looking at each other in bewilderment, all of them exclaimed, "How could you... Wait, do you mean you're also involved?!"
In unison!
With these words, they all realized the situation.
"Good!"
"Those rebellious disciples!!!"
"They, they actually..."
"Sect Master, please understand that this matter has nothing to do with us..."
"..."
"Enough!"
A cold voice echoed from within the hall, "You're all crying and wailing, aren't you ashamed? Get in here, you fools!"
They hurriedly stumbled into the sect hall.
Only then did they realize that Sect Master Qu Si Fei was sitting high on the main seat with a dark expression.
The core elders of the sect were all present.
The Great Elder and the Third Elder, who hadn't been seen for years, had also returned.
And with them was...
He Anxia?
And surprisingly, He Anxia was sitting in the honored guest's seat!
"This..."
Even with their slow reaction time, they began to realize that something was amiss.
It was at this moment that Qu Si Fei let out a cold huff, "You were all crying and wailing just now, and now that you have the chance to speak, you're all suddenly mute?"
"Speak!"
The officials and elders didn't dare to delay.
They all reported what had just happened, but they also distanced themselves from the situation, claiming that they didn't know why their rebellious disciples would have such treasonous thoughts...
"Okay, okay."
"It's truly unbelievable!"
Qu Si Fei's expression grew even more displeased.
The officials and elders immediately knelt down again, their hearts sinking.
With the Sect Master's anger, they knew they wouldn't be able to gain any benefits.
It seemed they were all in deep trouble!
However, at this very moment, Chen Chen sighed, "Sect Master, you've heard what they said. Now, you must be clear that merging with the Moon Holding Sect is the popular will, right?"
"Yes, yes, the Great Elder speaks the truth. Merging with the Moon Holding Sect is indeed..." One of the officials blurted out.
They had assumed the Great Elder would speak on their behalf, so they subconsciously continued.
But then, they suddenly realized something was amiss.
This was simply outrageous!
What nonsense was this?
And moreover...
He glared at Chen Chen, "Great Elder, why are you doing this to me?!"
"What does it have to do with me?" Chen Chen sighed, "You don't understand. It's not something I can explain in a few words."
"However, Sect Master, on this trip, the Great Elder and I racked our brains and used all means possible. We talked until our tongues were sore, and finally, we managed to convince Sect Master Lin to be merciful and give us a chance."
"He proposed three conditions, which are..."
"Now, we have found a solution to one of the conditions."
"Although there may be some trickery involved, currently, the disciples have no complaints or resistance towards merging with the Moon Holding Sect. In fact, they are quite pleased with the idea."
"As for the second and third conditions..."
"They require the approval of the Sect Master and the elders to be fulfilled."
"Furthermore, this matter must not be disclosed to the inner sect disciples. Otherwise, the reputation and face of the Great Elder and I are minor concerns. The key is to ensure the success of the merger and the unity of the sect after the merger!"
"Sect Master, what do you think?"
The officials were initially confused by Chen Chen's words.
But when he reached this point, they couldn't help but understand.
"Good!"
One of the elders suddenly jumped three feet high, "Great Elder, Third Elder!"
"I was wondering why my beloved disciples suddenly became so rebellious and had such heaven-defying thoughts. I was at a loss, but it turns out... it was you?"
"Give me back my beloved disciples!"
"Sect Master, look at him!"
"Please punish him severely!"
"..."
For a moment, the crowd was agitated.
Their anger was directed at Chen Chen and Gao Guang.
They accused them of going too far.
Qu Si Fei furrowed his brows, "Enough!"
"All of you, shut up!"
At this moment, Qu Si Fei's feelings were complicated.
In his position...
Merging with the Moon Holding Sect would bring great benefits to the Beast Control Sect, himself, and the disciples' development. It seemed like a wise choice from any perspective.
However, this decision also went against the ancestors.
In the future, if they were to meet the ancestors, they would have to kneel and speak!
"You've done a good deed!"
He glared at Chen Chen and Gao Guang.
The officials and elders thought Qu Si Fei would immediately lose his temper and punish Chen Chen and Gao Guang.
But...
Qu Si Fei suddenly let out a long sigh, "Alas!"
"Since things have come to this..."
"What else can I, as the Sect Master, say?"
"??!"
"Sect Master?!" The officials and elders were stunned.
Chen Chen, Gao Guang, and the other core members who were in the know almost burst out laughing.
"There's something you don't know."
Qu Si Fei waved his hand and sighed, "In fact, we core members have already voted on this matter, and the result is..."
"The number of high-ranking members in favor of merging with the Moon Holding Sect is one more."
"Now..."
"Although Chen Chen and Gao Guang's actions of acting first and reporting later could be considered presumptuous and reckless, the thoughts of all disciples under our Beast Control Sect are unprecedentedly united."
"Do you know what this means?"
"It means that the high-ranking elders and contemporary disciples all believe that merging with the Moon Holding Sect is the best choice, and becoming the Beast Taming Garden lineage of the Moon Holding Sect is what everyone desires!"
"Under such circumstances, what else can I, as the Sect Master, say?"
"What else do you expect me to do?"
"All I can do... is follow your wishes!"
"Sect Master, this is unacceptable! How can our esteemed Beast Control Sect become subordinate to the Moon Holding Sect?"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
"This matter..."
Everyone was agitated.
Just at this moment, the Sacred Son and Sacred Daughter arrived together.
Seeing the room filled with esteemed individuals, the two of them were also a little startled.
They even felt like backing out.
But when they saw He Anxia sitting in a high position, their anger rose.
"Master!"
The Sacred Son and Sacred Daughter both clenched their fists and said with shame and anger, "Disciples beg for Master's mercy, allowing our Beast Control Sect to merge with the Moon Holding Sect!"
The officials and elders exclaimed, "What?!"
"Sacred Son, Sacred Daughter, this is unacceptable!"
"How can you have such treasonous thoughts?"
"This?"
"..."
Qu Si Fei heaved a long sigh, taking half a minute to finish, "You've seen it too."
"This... if it's not what everyone desires, then what is it?"
"Although I am the Sect Master and could veto it, forcing my decision on everyone, what would be the consequences of doing so?"
Qu Si Fei expressed his helplessness, "The elders are all dissatisfied."
"The disciples' hearts are drifting away."
"If this is the case, even if the Beast Control Sect still exists, it's as good as non-existent. What's the difference?"
"It's better to fully respect everyone's wishes and merge with the Moon Holding Sect. At least the Beast Taming Garden lineage will remain as it is, and we won't end up in such a fragmented state."
"Forget it."
"You..."
"Don't bring it up again."
He turned to the opposing officials and elders and sighed, "I know what you're thinking, and I'm even clearer that this goes against our ancestors."
"But things have come to this point, and there's nothing we can do."
"Instead of everyone feeling this way, it's better for me to take on this responsibility!"
"After I'm gone, if the ancestors blame me, I alone will bear the consequences of this decision!"
"So be it!"
Qu Si Fei turned around and lowered his head, and no one could see his expression.
"Since one of the three conditions has been met, and I've agreed to the remaining two, Great Elder, you can go ahead and handle it."
"Now, I have only one condition."
"The Beast Control Sect... should merge with the Moon Holding Sect as soon as possible, becoming the Beast Taming Garden lineage and enjoying the same treatment as the other lineages."
"It's also better to quickly satisfy the elders and disciples, giving them a brand-new cultivation environment and better cultivation conditions and resources."
"In this way..."
"Perhaps our actions are disrespectful to our ancestors."
"But for the successors, there are only benefits and no drawbacks!"
"The ancestors have passed on, and compared to them, the successors are ultimately more important."
"Go."
"Get to work."
After speaking, Qu Si Fei waved his hand, turning his back to the crowd.
The Sacred Son and Sacred Daughter exchanged a glance, both feeling a little dazed.
So easy and smooth?
But soon, they were overjoyed.
"Our thanks to Master!"
The two were delighted and immediately kowtowed on the ground.
After finishing their kowtows, they stared at He Anxia with a challenging gaze, their eyes speaking volumes—You're putting on an act? Soon, we'll also be disciples of the Moon Holding Sect, enjoying equal treatment. Let's see how long you can keep up your arrogance!
He Anxia, however, remained calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
But...
He vaguely understood one thing.
It seemed like he had been set up by his teacher!
With the appearance of the Crooked Mouth Dragon King, he had inadvertently gained an entire Beast Taming Garden lineage as enemies for no reason.
What a setup...
He glanced at Chen Chen.
Chen Chen also remained calm, not meeting He Anxia's gaze.
He Anxia: "..."
...
Half a month later, a piece of news shook the Southwest region.
The Beast Control Sect was selling off its assets, even its ancestral land!
The ancestral graves were all relocated!
To sell faster, they even offered their land at a discounted price!
But the most shocking news was yet to come...
After the Beast Control Sect moved, within just one day, the latest news spread.
Hundreds of thousands of people from the Beast Control Sect, along with countless Spirit Beasts, merged with the Moon Holding Sect, becoming the Beast Taming Garden lineage!
"Damn it!!!"
"What the hell?"
"That's... too much!"
During their leisure time, countless cultivators in the Southwest region were shocked, their heads spinning and mouths agape.
"No way, how could this be?"
"It's really outrageous and unreasonable!"
"I could understand if it was the Bright Moon Sect, even though they had a deadly feud with the Moon Holding Sect. But back then, they were forced to merge due to circumstances beyond their control, so I tolerated it. But what's the deal with the Beast Control Sect?"
"There's no grudge or resentment, and I haven't heard of them facing any crisis. In recent years, they've been doing well by associating with the Moon Holding Sect and the Black and White Academy. They've been living better and earning more, but now, without a word, they've merged with the Moon Holding Sect?"
"Crazy!"
