Chapter 1397: Negatives of Eating Dead Demonic Cultivators
Shaking his head at the thought of the beast tamers that had turned into corpse collectors after realizing how useful the bodies of demonic cultivators were for nurturing demon beasts; Xuan Hao could not help wondering if he should advise Elder Song to place a few more restrictions on these beast tamers.
After all, even if their use of demonic cultivator’s bodies didn’t really use any of the sect’s resources and instead saved the sect quite a few spirit stones that would have normally been used to feed the demon beasts, it might end up making others think that the Star Shattering Sect was some kind of demonic sect. Making them a target for the Blue Sea Empire and the other major powers from the core region of the continent.
At the very least, the beast tamers had to find a way to not attract any unwanted attention when they went out to clean up the battlefield…
“Haaa… Whenever it seems like they are about to settle down, they find another way to create problems…” Muttering this to himself as he thought about the beast tamers creating yet another problem for the sect, Xuan Hao couldn’t help letting out a somewhat helpless sigh.
Although it wasn’t him who would have to deal with this problem, he still felt for Elder Song and Feng Chen, who would be the ones to deal with these troublesome beast tamers once again.
Even more so because the situation of the beast tamers seemed to have just recently been resolved, as they settled down and got used to their new situation.
However, he wasn’t really one to blame them, as the bodies of the demonic cultivators did indeed bring enormous benefits to the Star Shattering Sect and wasn’t something that would be easy to give up.
“I will just leave this matter for Elder Song and Feng Chen to deal with, both of them should already be aware of the potential problems that might emerge if information of the sect using the dead bodies of the demonic cultivators gets out- Hm?” About to focus his attention back on the ancient teleportation formation to continue what he had been doing so far, Xuan Hao suddenly noticed a change in his status.
More specifically, a change in the status of one of his pets, the winged lion demon beast, that seemed to have just broken through to the Second Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm.
“Guess I will go and take a look and see how that lazy little lion is doing, it has after all been quite some time since I last saw it.”
Curious about the state of his little pet, as it wasn’t without risk to undergo the tribulation and ascend through the Soul Ascension Realm, Xuan Hao decided to take a break from comprehending the ancient teleportation formation and decided to leave the Eighth Star Peak to head for the border territory that the winged lion demon beast was currently protecting from any True Demon Realm demonic cultivators who might try and enter the territory of the Star Shattering Sect.
Considering that the Blue Sea Empire was still present in the Onyx Empire and showed no intention of leaving and the barrier he had created in the past and prior agreement with Xuan Gui kept any demon beasts from invading the Star Shattering Sect’s territory along two of their closest borders with the Frozen Wasteland, there was only a single border to defend for the Star Shattering Sect.
In turn, it made it rather simple for Xuan Hao to guess where the winged lion demon beast had broken through to the Second Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Realm.
Even though… He did feel a bit confused as to why the winged lion demon beast had decided to breakthrough at the border instead of returning to the sect where it was far safer for it to breakthrough.
After all, at the border, it still had to worry about potentially being attacked or ambushed by powerful demonic cultivators during or after its breakthrough.
The only reason Xuan Hao could think of that might have caused the winged lion demon beast to breakthrough at the border instead of back in the sect, would be because the breakthrough had been unexpected and not something that the winged lion demon beast had even thought would happen.
But for something like that to be the case, it would have had to either have consumed- Ah…
Suddenly realizing what might have happened to his little lazy lion, as he thought about how eating demonic cultivators seemed extremely beneficial to demon beasts, Xuan Hao decided not to delay, as he directly used his Dao of space to twist the space around him. Using long distance teleportation to cross the distance between the Shattered Star Peaks and the borders of the sect’s territory in a few minutes. Most of the time being spent activating the long-distance teleportation technique.
The reason for rushing over being that he feared that the little lion might have become so overcome by greed that it forgot to get rid of the demonic qi or yin qi that might be in the body that it had consumed to reach the Second Tribulation of the Soul Ascension Relam…
ROOOOAR-!
And, like he had feared, the situation of the winged lion demon beast was far from good when he appeared, as it was currently roaring mindlessly while killing anything in sight without caring if they were demonic cultivators or not.
Luckily, it wasn’t close to anyone from the Star Shattering Sect at the moment… And on the not so lucky side of things, a few wandering cultivators and what he guessed to be members of the explorer union happened to be nearby. Dying before he had a chance to interfere with the now rampaging winged lion demon beast that seemed to have lost its mind after absorbing a large quantity of demonic qi.
All Xuan Hao could do was light a joss stick for the unlucky group of people before stepping forward to deal with the winged lion demon beast before it ended up causing even more damage than it already had.
