Chapter 124: Release My Lord
Page 1 of 3
To Chen Xianhong, the death of an insignificant collateral relative meant nothing.
But if the man had been killed by an outsider, thereby challenging the dignity of the Chen family, then it concerned the honor of the entire clan and could absolutely not be tolerated!
What was more, the other party had actually dared to deceive them. It was as though they did not regard the Chen family at all!
Chen Xianhong narrowed his eyes ominously. “Rest assured. Our Chen family will certainly avenge your sister.”
A delighted smile spread across Chen Yi’s face. “Yes!”
Then he suddenly remembered something. “By the way, Patriarch, do you remember the spirit beast that appeared in the forest near Jin’an City some time ago?”
Although he did not know what kind of spirit beast it was, he had heard that the Chen family had sent people there as well, only for them to return empty-handed. Now, everyone was searching for that spirit beast’s whereabouts.
“What is it? Do you know where that spirit beast is?” Chen Xianhong’s voice rose slightly, tinged with suspicion.
Chen Yi bent his back respectfully. “I heard that the Ji family of the General’s Estate recently began raising a puppy that seems somewhat similar to the spirit beast our main family has been searching for. I also heard that the Ji family’s Third Miss has only just turned one and may resemble the little girl you are looking for…”
In truth, Chen Yi had no idea whether any of it was true.
He had merely heard a rumor and casually embellished it, hoping to give the main branch of the Chen family more reason to move against the General’s Estate.

Hmph. His sister had been killed, and he was determined to make the General’s Estate pay the price! If there had not been a powerful expert within the estate who might have reached the Mind-Opening Stage, he would already have led men there himself!
Chen Xianhong demanded coldly, “Is this true?”
The people who had returned had indeed told him that the spirit beast had been taken away by a young girl and then disappeared without a trace. If it truly belonged to the General’s Estate, then sending people there this time would serve two purposes at once.
Revenge was a minor matter. The spirit beast was what truly mattered.
It was said to be a king-grade spirit beast, one that had reached at least the third rank from the moment it was born! If the Chen family obtained it, would they not become even more powerful?
“Yes, but whether it truly is…” Chen Yi deliberately left his words unfinished.
Chen Xianhong rose abruptly and ordered in a deep voice, “Someone fetch the people who saw the spirit beast when they went to Jin’an City last time!”
“Yes!”
The General’s Estate.
After Bai Zhu carried Ji Tianxin back, he sent her to her room.
Yet the moment he stepped through the door, a bolt of lightning shot straight toward him.

Bai Zhu swiftly dodged the lightning. He was just about to raise his hand and attack when he saw a small creature slam headfirst into the door.
He lowered his hand and stared at the dazed Devourer Moon, astonished. “A spirit beast?”
After striking the door, Devourer Moon rolled to the floor, then sprang up and glared at Bai Zhu with bared teeth. Corrosive liquid dripped brightly from its fangs. Its mouth was crimson, yet it somehow gave off the terrifying impression that it could swallow and devour the entire world.
“No… not a spirit beast.” Bai Zhu furrowed his brows, his expression a mixture of confusion and shock as he stared at Devourer Moon.
Could it be… a ferocious beast?
But ferocious beasts had never appeared on the Tianwu Continent. How could that be possible?
“Release my master!”
The childish voice rang out slowly, yet it carried the resonance of a great bell. Behind Devourer Moon, the black phantom of a colossal beast suddenly emerged. In an instant, its shadow plunged the entire room into darkness.
Red light glimmered in the little beast’s eyes. The liquid dripping from its fangs was saturated with a bloodthirsty hunger. Its back arched as its entire body seemed to vanish within the shadow of the colossal beast.
