Chapter 93: The Desolate Dean

Hiss, hiss, hiss…

On the snake-shaped altar, as Hun Tian announced the start of the sacrificial ceremony, the entire altar trembled violently.

The originally curved altar now shot up like a pillar supporting the heavens, raising the sacrificial platform by several dozen meters.

The most terrifying thing was that the platform where Hun Tian stood now merged with the black pillar of light, completely enveloping both the platform and Hun Tian within it.

“Alidosa, alidosa…”

The incantation from Hun Tian’s mouth continued to sound. The black light grew deeper and deeper, making it impossible for the disciples of the Soul Tomb Hall to see what was happening inside.

In an instant, the platform, like a venomous snake, suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the altar whole into its belly.

He was dead…

Before his death, a smile of enjoyment appeared on Hun Tian’s face, proof enough that he felt his death was worth it from the bottom of his heart.

“Long live the Sect Master…”

The platform swallowed Hun Tian’s physical body, but his soul vanished without a trace.

The disciples of the Soul Tomb Hall had no idea what had happened. They only saw the black pillar of light erupt with an irresistible suction force.

Immediately after, all the disciples were torn into the black pillar of light without any warning. Desperate roars instantly filled the space between heaven and earth.

“Sect Master, save us! Sect Master, save us!”

The disciples of the Soul Tomb Hall tried to get the powerful Soul Annihilation Saint to save them.

Little did they know that the mastermind behind all of this was the very Soul Annihilation Saint Sect Master they trusted so deeply. The black gas within the pillar of light was like a cancer clinging to their bones, frantically eroding their bodies and minds.

The bodies of countless disciples gradually collapsed, turning into a pure force that merged into the black pillar of light.

The Soul Annihilation Saint stood at the top of the black pillar of light, chuckling like a ghost.

“May your journey be peaceful!”

“Your deaths are worth it!”

“What a pity, it’s still a little lacking. Jia Tianyang, your decisiveness led to the destruction of Jialan Academy!”

“If you had obediently cooperated with our Soul Tomb Hall, how could you have ended up in such a state!”

The Soul Annihilation Saint squinted his eyes, enjoying the countless powers merging into his body, a ferocious smile of pleasure on his face.

Hui Liyi!

Do you think you are the only one in this world who can become a god?

You are gravely mistaken!

I, the Soul Annihilation Saint, could have become a god long ago. It’s just that now is the best opportunity.

“Cough…”

Gradually, the Soul Annihilation Saint felt he heard an ethereal, illusory voice coming from within the soaring black pillar.

The moment that voice fell, the Soul Annihilation Saint’s body stiffened abruptly. A chill, like a cancer clinging to his bones, surged through his entire body.

“My Lord… is there something you need from me?”

“Soul Annihilation Saint, do not be careless. After you ascend to the Divine Realm and unify the Firo Continent, come up!”

The Soul Annihilation Saint, ecstatic, half-knelt in the air, raised his arms respectfully and said, “Many thanks for my Lord’s cultivation. I will be as quick as possible.”

“If you fail, then you will die. Do not reveal things that should not be said!”

As the words fell, the Soul Annihilation Saint felt an unparalleled pressure squeeze into his heart.

He tried his best to exhale a mouthful of black gas, using all his strength to absorb the energy transformed from those disciples.

…

Beast Taming Sect.

Lei Mingde smelled a powerful aura approaching the sect. His solemn gaze shot into the sky.

“Who dares to come to our Beast Taming Sect?”

After speaking, Lei Mingde looked intently and saw that the newcomer was tall but slightly stooped. His old, tattered clothes fluttered in the wind.

The other party did not speak, and he did not dare to act rashly, only staring intently at the face beneath the tattered clothes.

As the cloth covering the face fell away, a face that had aged overnight was revealed.

A look of surprise appeared on Lei Mingde’s face, “Dean Jia, what brings you to our Beast Taming Sect?”

Jia Tianyang lowered his head slightly, a desolate smile on his face.

“Sect Master Xiong, for you to still call this Jia a ‘Dean’ is truly my greatest honor!”

“Dean Jia is too kind. Who on the Firo Continent doesn’t know that you were a genius of your time? A stomp of your foot could shake the continent.”

Lei Mingde squinted his eyes, enunciating the words “of your time” with particular clarity.

“Hehe, since I’ve come all this way, won’t you invite me into the Beast Taming Sect for a seat?”

“Dean Jia, please!”

After speaking, Lei Mingde extended his hand in a gesture of invitation.

Jia Tianyang calmly landed within the Beast Taming Sect, without the slightest sense of awkwardness.

In the main hall, Lei Mingde personally brewed a pot of tea and lowered his gaze slightly.

“The Beast Taming Sect is truly helpless regarding the tragic events at Jialan Academy. We were powerless to help. After hearing about it, I was filled with guilt all night, unable to sleep!”

Jia Tianyang calmly took a sip of tea and threw his head back in laughter.

“Sect Master Lei’s sentiment is enough for this Jia. Now, I only seek a place to stay in the Beast Taming Sect.”

“But of course! Someone, find a place for my brother Jia to live and arrange it well!”

In an instant, a filthy beast keeper came to the main hall, bringing with him a foul stench.

The beast keeper respectfully came to Jia Tianyang’s side, bowed, and said softly.

“Dean Jia, please follow me!”

A tiger in the plains is bullied by dogs. So what if he was once the head of an academy? The result was still the same.

Jia Tianyang desolately finished the last sip of tea in his cup. After bidding farewell to Lei Mingde, he followed the beast keeper out of the main hall.

Immediately, Lei Zhentian walked to Lei Mingde’s side from a side door.

“Dad… he is a half-step Soul Condensation Realm expert. If we treat him like this, will it…?”

“It won’t! Can a tiger with its fangs pulled still be called a tiger?”

“What if he uses his feet? What if he’s cornered and jumps over the wall?”

Lei Mingde stroked his long beard meaningfully, “If a tiger jumps over a wall, then it is not worthy of being called a tiger.”

Lei Zhentian nodded, half-understanding. He had learned so much in these few days.

In fact, it was just that Lei Mingde understood Jia Tianyang’s character. He was not a villain who committed all sorts of evil.

Half an hour later.

Xu Lingqing arrived at the Beast Taming Sect. The moment the little beast, Violet Lightning, on her shoulder arrived at the Beast Taming Sect, a smile of returning home spread across its face.

The purple lightning on Violet Lightning’s body became more and more dazzling, creating ripples in the air.

“Violet Lightning, don’t make a fuss. This is someone else’s territory. Be careful or they’ll catch you and stew you.”

“Master… I don’t want to either, it’s just that I’m too handsome!”

Handsome?

Although Violet Lightning was a descendant of the Violet Ink Qilin, it was still in its youth and looked more like a small dog.

A small dog and handsome didn’t go together at all. It would be better to say it was somewhat cute.

Just then, countless roars of ferocious beasts came from within the Beast Taming Sect. The sound echoed through the sky and spread far and wide.

Immediately after, the sound of countless footsteps thundered out, the thump, thump, thump filling the air.

A riot?

In an instant, Lei Mingde rushed to the main gate of the Beast Taming Sect and saw the person and beast at the entrance.

“Sect Master Lei!”

Xu Lingqing and Lei Mingde were both somewhat dumbfounded at this moment. The latter’s face was even more solemn.

“Miss Xu…”

“What bloodline is the little beast on your shoulder?”
