“There’s a possibility of taming ordinary spirit beasts. But, it’s impossible to tame the dragons and phoenixes. You need to understand that. However, they were unable to slaughter or capture the spirit beasts in the Forest of Spirit Beasts these past few years because of the existence of the beastmaster. They could only capture some spirit beasts at the outer circle of the Forest of Spirit Beasts.”
The master stopped talking for a while. Then, he continued, “We don’t know what happened there when the black dragon made a breakthrough. It is weak but it still dares to start a riot there to the point where all the other clans intend to join forces to kill it. If the black dragon is dead, the fate of the Forest of Spirit Beasts will be in the hands of humans. The spirit beasts will become pets and machines for humans.”
So, the Divine Herbs Sect did not have to join in the fight.
“I understand now.”
The elder greeted the master and said respectfully, “But, is it true that we don’t have to avenge Gu Zhenyang?”
The master’s facial expression changed at Gu Zhenyang’s name. “That goddamn bastard! I have punished him once and he is so daring as to attack the secular world! Let’s not talk about avenging him yet! Who should we even get revenge from? If you’re able to kill Nan Xian, why don’t you go? I definitely won’t go.”
The master would never allow anybody to humiliate the Divine Herbs Sect if the offender was an ordinary person.
But, the master was afraid of Nan Xian’s strength and power.
‘Much less go and look for trouble! Is life too easy now?’
The elder’s lips twitched. Eventually, he did not say anything more.

The Forest of Spirit Beasts was different from the humans’ kingdoms. It was a world that belonged to the spirit beasts only.
There were rarely any humans entering the Forest of Spirit Beasts in the past. There was not even a person who destroyed its peace.
But, the Forest of Spirit Beasts was different now. It was no longer peaceful.
The unwelcome intruders from the humans’ kingdoms came, intruding the spirit beasts’ peaceful lives. They brought wars into the Forest of Spirit Beasts.
A loud roar was heard.
A few pairs of angry eyes glared at those eager humans. Their skin and fur were stained with fresh blood. Their skins were torn open. The spirit beasts were whipped heavily and their blood gushed out with every beating.
They did not understand what they had done wrong.
They had always obeyed the rules of the world and had never left the Forest of Spirit Beasts.
So, why did the humans never let them go?
“This silver leopard king is powerful. It’s a Tier-5 spirit beast. We can slaughter and eat the other spirit beast. But, we’ll bring this silver leopard king back. We’ll tame it.”
“That’s right. This Forest of Spirit Beasts should never exist in the first place. The spirit beasts should become our pets. We can destroy the Forest of Spirit Beasts this time! It’ll never exist from now on!”
Their waves of laughter were manic and arrogant. Their facial expressions were twisted.
A young silver leopard howled sadly. It watched its family members being slaughtered. Its heart was filled with deep pain and grief.
‘We will correct our mistakes if we have done anything wrong.
‘We’ll never leave the Forest of Spirit Beasts or our home in this lifetime.
‘But, tell us what we’ve done wrong! Why did you slaughter our family? Why do you look down on us?’
Pain! Hatred! Numerous emotions filled the hearts of the silver leopards. The seeds of hatred grew deeply in their hearts when they saw their family members being slaughtered.
But, the silver leopard king was the only powerful spirit beast there. The other silver leopards were useless in the eyes of the powerful humans.
