Chapter 674: Beast Sect Best Sect

Pause.

A firm, clear voice rang over the tumult. Instantly, without a single command from their riders, all the beasts fell silent, and the cultivators on their backs bowed their heads.

Hui looked up.

A wild-haired female beast cultivator strode over atop a massive spirit tiger, the creature so large Hui had a hard time spotting her at first. He squinted for a moment, then stared wide-eyed. Shes the beast tiers Tier Master! Uh oh. If shes a powerhouse anywhere near Jizhi Zhimeis level, Im fucked. Even choosing death might not be possible anymore, especially with the mysterious Immortal Senior waiting for me in the void. Against ninth-ish-realm cultivators, my best chance is to escape to the Underworld and hence fake soul death, but Im not sure I can escape to the Underworld right nowthe mysterious Senior might catch me, or else perhaps my connection to the Underworld will get cut off yet again, and Ill simply die completely and utterly, with no hope of reincarnation! No good, thats no good at all!

He put on his best smile and gave her a low bow. Greetings, Tier Master. My apologies for inadvertently entering your realm. I know its ridiculous-sounding, but truly, I stumbled into this place in desperation. I had no intention to enter your realm whatsoever.

The Tier Master gazed at him flatly without a word.

Hui licked his lips. Is that a good sign? Bad? Youre making me nervous, Senior! Talk to me! I can work with words, I cant work with silence!

The Tier Master pointed at his neck. Your spirit beast.

Hui touched his neck, then bowed his head. Ah yes. Tseng Caihong stole him.

Sadness passed over the Tier Masters face, followed by a deep understanding. She waved her hand. He is in the same position as us. Stand down.

Regret written all over his face, the beast cultivator with the spear lowered his weapon.

Same position? Ah! Dont tell me! Hui cleared his throat. Tier Master, if this small worm could speak dare I guess did Tseng Caihong steal a spirit beast from you, as well?

The Tier Master inclined her head, just once.

The Tier Master patted the giant tigers back. It sauntered forward. All the other beasts moved aside as the tiger passed through. Drawing up alongside Hui, the tiger looked at him. Huis entire head reflected in one of its enormous eyes, surrounded easily by the tigers pupil.

Hui swallowed. That thing wouldnt even taste me if it decided to eat me. Im less than a fly to it!

Ever so gently, the giant tiger lowered its head. Delicately, it rubbed its head on Huis entire body, then turned the other way and rubbed the other side of its head on Huis opposite side.

Completely engulfed by soft, fluffy orange-and-white hair, Hui melted on the inside. Never mind. I take everything back. Im on the beast sects side. How wonderful, to snuggle with enormous oversized fluffy beasts every day! Ahhh, now I understand why people cultivate beasts! Wonderful, how perfectly wonderful!

He startled back to life, still deep in the tigers fluff. No! Dont lose your mind, Hui! Its wonderful and soft, but I cant give up on everything to defect to the beast cultivator side just because they have wonderful fluffy soft beasts. I have to stay strong!

But the fluff the fluff!

Lao Hu likes him. We can trust him, the Tier Master declared.

Hui looked up. Eh? Its that easy?

Yes, Tier Master! the beast cultivators called as one.

I guess I guess it is! Maybe itll be easier than I expected to escape from this unharmed!

As long as he remains within the secret realm, he can do us no harm. Well merely train this disciple with high potential into the greatest beast cultivator, the Tier Master declared, turning away.

Hui sighed. And there it is. Of course theres a catch.

Oh well. In the worst case, I can probably break out of the realm ah, but that terrifying Senior outside! Ugh. No, no. Ill figure something out!
