Chapter 50 - A Dignified Spiritual Beast Was Injured by a Horse

Shen Hai didn’t dare to say anything more in the face of Alchemy King Gu Xi and the others’ overbearing attitude. He could only retreat dejectedly. The other elders also thought the scene was indescribable.

The surrounding people looked at Gu Xi with complicated expressions, making him furious. “If you guys can do it, just go ahead.”

The other elders were silent.

Even Shen Hai was at his wit’s end when faced with Alchemy King Gu Xi.

“It would be great if the sect master was here. Alchemy King Gu Xi was invited by her, so she might have a plan.”

“I’m afraid that the sect master won’t be satisfied with Alchemy King Gu Xi’s teaching either. If she were to pursue the matter, we would have to take the responsibility.”

After all, she had paid a huge price to hire him. What he taught them was just some knowledge on how to grow spiritual plants. It wasn’t worth it, but they couldn’t even say anything.

Just as everyone was at their wits’ end, a disciple ran over in a hurry.

“Oh no!”

“What’s the fuss about?” Shen Hai said in a bad tone.

“Something happened in the stables! Alchemy King Gu Xi’s spiritual beasts, Thunder, were injured.”

Shen Hai and the others were shocked and signaled the disciple to keep his voice down.

However, it was already too late. When Sun Sihao and the others heard it, their faces suddenly darkened, “Thunder beasts were injured? What’s going on?”

One had to know that the spiritual beast, Thunder, was priceless. Even Alchemy King Gu Xi had obtained a few of them with great difficulty. Other than pulling the carriage, they were usually served good food and drink. How long had it been since they were injured?

It just so happened that they weren’t willing to stay, so there was a good opportunity to use this as a pretext to make a fuss. Sun Sihao was the first to make trouble.

“Master, I can see that Tai Qing Sect has no respect for you at all. The spiritual beasts were brought away in a good state, but now they were injured in just half a day. They were simply deliberately neglected.”

To humiliate the protected was to humiliate the protector. The same went for the spiritual beast. Alchemy King Gu Xi’s face darkened.

“Tai Qing Sect must give me an explanation for this matter! Who dares to hurt our spiritual beasts? Is Tai Qing Sect dissatisfied with us?”

Shen Hai was also worried about offending Alchemy King Gu Xi, so he asked immediately, “Quickly tell us what happened.”

The pressure was immediately placed on the disciple.

“There’s no spiritual beast garden in Tai Qing Sect. Thinking that there’s an open space in the back mountain, we intended to settle down the spiritual beasts there. Who knows when we passed by the stables, the spiritual beasts rushed over to the stables as if they went crazy, and the result was…”

“What’s the result?”

The disciple stammered, not knowing what to say, “In the end, they were kicked by the horse in the stable.”

???

For a moment, everyone thought that they were hallucinating.

On the other hand, Alchemy King Gu Xi’s face suddenly darkened. He was certain that this was an excuse from Tai Qing Sect.

Sun Sihao said mockingly, “Can’t you make up a better excuse? The spiritual beasts were kicked by a horse in the stable? I think that someone hurt them deliberately, and you made up such a big lie to cover it up.”

“Thunder beasts are spiritual beasts. Even if they’re not offensive, they still have a certain degree of destructive power. Even ordinary demonic beasts can’t cause any harm to them, let alone horses.”

“Does Tai Qing Sect take us for fools? Do you think people will believe this kind of excuse? Is this how you treat your guests?!”

“Or is it that Tai Qing Sect’s horses are particularly extraordinary and have eaten special elixirs?”

Sun Sihao mocked strangely, but he didn’t expect that his words would be a prophecy.

Shen Hai and the others were instantly rendered speechless by their words. Seeing that Alchemy King Gu Xi was angered, he stuttered, “Perhaps there’s some misunderstanding…”

“Misunderstanding? I think your Tai Qing Sect has gone too far!”

Even Shen Hai found it unbelievable that a spirit beast could be injured by an ordinary horse, let alone Alchemy King Gu Xi and the others.

“What’s the truth?”

“I’m not lying,” the disciple almost wanted to cry. Seeing that no one believed him, he said, “Everyone can go and take a look.”

The crowd walked over in disbelief.

Along the way, Sun Sihao was still adding oil to the fire, “Master, I don’t think Tai Qing Sect is sincere at all. Not only did they hurt our spiritual beasts, but they also came up with such an excuse. They’re simply treating us like three-year-old children.”

“I think we should just take this opportunity to leave. They’re in the wrong anyway, and it’s good for our reputation too.”

“It is! How could Thunder be injured by ordinary horses?”

They said it with certainty, but they didn’t expect that they would be slapped in the face so quickly.

Roar!

Sun Sihao heard a roar, and his expression changed, “This is the roar of Thunder.”

Everyone couldn’t help but pick up their pace.

In addition to these roars, there were also a few faint neighs, but no one paid them any mind.

“Who is it that dares to hurt our spiritual beast?”

Sun Sihao was aggressive but all his words were suddenly stuck in his throat after seeing the scene in person.

Thunder fell to the ground. Its snow-white fur was stained with a lot of dirt. A large horse hoof was reflected in everyone’s sight.

Seeing that its master had arrived, it was as if it had seen its savior. It struggled to get up but was once again kicked back by the horse’s hooves. It was extremely embarrassing.

The scene was beyond everyone’s expectations. Whether it was Gu Xi, the rest, or Shen Hai, they could not help but widen their eyes, thinking that they were hallucinating.

It was indeed a horse’s hoof, and there was no spiritual energy fluctuation on the horse’s body. It was an ordinary horse.

The person beside the horse was Ye Xuan.

For some reason, Shen Hai and the others ‘eyelids twitched when they saw his calm appearance. It seemed that nothing good happened every time they met him.

Shen Hai said unhappily, “What’s going on here, Elder Ye?”
