The Steward Demonic Emperor

Chapter 818: Rampage

Proofreader: Papatonks

“Someone broke the sect’s defensive array!” Sect Leader cried out, “Elders and venerables, follow me! Let’s see who had the nerve to barge into Beast Taming Sect!”

Everyone bowed, “Yes, sir!”

Sect Leader flew out with the elders behind him, leaving an empty and desolate hall in an eerie silence…

“Stop!”

Zhuo Fan had entered the Beast Taming Sect and was letting the flower spirit lead the way again. His entourage was looking around scared and jittery. But when they saw Zhuo Fan’s laid-back attitude, they sighed. 

[Dude, we’re sneaking into another’s home, practically like thieves. Can’t you act like one? Strolling around like this in their own backyard would get unneeded attention.]

[The only reason we’re sticking around is because a 7th grade spiritual beast can pop up anytime. But you’re too damn conspicuous. It’s like you’re asking to be found!]

The team barely took a few steps before two disciples blocked their path, “You arrogant bastards, how dare you barge into Beast Taming Sect? Who the hell are you?”

The trio ducked behind their guard.

Zhuo Fan glanced over the two, “You don’t know already? Why the useless questions?” 

“How are we to know?” The two started.

Pointing at his face, Zhuo Fan declared, “Didn’t you call me arrogant bastard? Well, there you have it.”

Pff!

Lian’er giggled. The two disciples roared, “You’re toying with us? Die!”

One disciple charged towards Zhuo Fan at full power. Zhuo Fan didn’t spare him a look, merely punching the air.

Bam!

The disciple went out in a puff of blood, gone from this world.

The other disciple panicked, now realizing the enemy was in the 8th layer Radiant Stage, while the two of them were just in the 4th.

He did not flee however, raising his hand. A flaming eagle two meters large cried as it made itself known. 

“6th level spiritual beast, Scorching Eagle!” Lian’er cried out.

Laughing, the disciple looked smug, “Yes, a 6th level spiritual beast, ha-ha-ha. You’d never guess that disciples from the Beast Taming Sect aren’t just cultivating themselves, but paired with spirit animals to display their true power. You may be in the 8th layer, but against a 6th level spiritual beast…”

Shriek~

The eagle cried in fear, knocked out cold. Across from it, Zhuo Fan’s left eye flashed with black thunderflame.

Ugh!

The disciple was dumbstruck, his mind numb as he watched his dear spirit animal.

[What… just happened?]

A punch came while he was still perplexed, turning him into another bloody mist to feed the grass.

Zhuo Fan looked at the flower spirit in his hand, “Which way?”

Jerking, the spirit looked scared as well, pointing out the right direction. Zhuo Fan strutted onwards.

The Touba siblings were speechless. They thought Zhuo Fan had the nerve only out there, but he was on a rampage even in a sect.

Only the sixth prince was overjoyed, beaming at Zhuo Fan’s attitude. It went to show Zhuo Fan had the power to cleave through the Beast Taming Sect.

“That’s my idol! So awesome, he-he-he…” Grinning, the prince walked after him, leaving the Touba siblings to sigh as they dragged their feet.

[Since we’re in this as well, might as well see it through…]

Zhuo Fan and co. strolled further in, head high, chest out, right in the middle of the Beast Taming Sect’s home. Many disciples came to visit them, but were destined to be reduced to nothing from Zhuo Fan’s bloody welcome.  

Even as more and more kept coming, Zhuo Fan had no trouble.

It led to an odd feeling of safety for Lian’er, despite the brutality surrounding the trio. Tuoba Liufeng, the young commander who had gone through many wars, noticed that despite the danger, it was also followed closely by calmness.

This was a mood Zhuo Fan made. As long as he led the way, they were unaffected whatsoever.

He now understood why the Luo clan relied so much on Zhuo Fan.

[It can’t be that the Luo clan also felt like they were on vacation fighting us in that war eight years ago, right? That would be so embarrassing.]

[Though there’s a high chance it was true.]

Sighing, Tuoba Liufeng watched the straight back in front. 

[He’s deadly to enemies and dependable to his allies. I’d rather be his ally though.]

Boom~

The rumbling never stopped as Beast Taming Sect disciples kept coming in waves. But the tide was soon followed by stillness as each crumbled to nothing from Zhuo Fan’s punches.

It didn’t take long for the death count to go up to the thousands.

The following disciples now felt fear, staring as Zhuo Fan’s team walked on while they shook back from his path.

Whoosh~

Beast Taming Sect’s Sect Leader, elders and venerables finally arrived. Seeing their disciples in fear, they roared, “What are you doing?! Attack, get those thieves!”

“Sect Leader, the guy is a monster. We can’t do anything to him. He already killed thousands of our brothers and none of them even touched him. It will only end up with all of us dying for nothing.” A disciple bowed, reporting his plight.

The other disciples nodded.

The Sect Leader looked around, at the field of corpses, then at Zhuo Fan, “2nd layer, 5th layer and 8th layer Radiant Stage? Then there’s a Profound Heaven cultivator too? You mean to tell me this was all done by those four?”

“No, Sect Leader, just him. The rest were hiding behind him.” The disciple pointed at Zhuo Fan in fear.

The Sect Leader frowned, more shocked than ever, “Just one man slaughtered my disciples. How? What about your spiritual beasts? You couldn’t do it even when working together?”

It was better if he hadn’t asked. The disciples looked crushed, almost crying.

“Sect Leader, we don’t know why but our spiritual beasts just refused to come out. They’d rather stay in their rings than fight that guy. They seem afraid…”

“Seriously?”

The Sect Leader was stunned, then sized Zhuo up. He turned to his elders. “Take out your spirit animals. See if there’s any problem.”

“Ha-ha-ha, Sect Leader, my spirit animal has been with me for decades and always answers. It’s not like those newly tamed beasts the disciples have.”

“The disciples’ methods must be lacking. In times like these, it is up to us, their elders to show them how it’s done!”

“Yeah, our sect is expert in rearing spiritual beasts. But I see the new generation don’t train too hard any more, making our sect look bad. It seems we’ll have to set these twerps straight, ha-ha-ha…”

The oldies were so smug even before their pets came out. The disciples were silent, not like they could complain.

Sect Leader was annoyed, “Getting the enemy is more important. Elders, the one to capture this kid will definitely be remembered.”

“He-he-he, no worries, Sect Leader. My 7th grade spiritual beast, Flaming Cloud Tiger, will take him down. He’s just a Radiant Stage cultivator!” One elder mocked as he shouted, “Flaming Cloud Tiger, come out!”

No response. The people watched his valiant pose, yet there was no pet to answer his call to duty.

Ugh!

Face twitching hard, everyone sighed. 

[Of course it won’t come.]

Some disciples even snickered.

Getting flustered, the elder looked embarrassed, while the Sect Leader frowned.

[What’s going on here? Has Beast Taming Sect’s main power just died out? That means this group is specifically here to target us. They even prepared countermeasures.]

Though he still did not know the reason behind it…
