Chapter 65: Beast Garden Affairs

“Alright, I’ll go find Eldest Senior Brother. I won’t disturb Fifth Senior Brother anymore.”

Zhou Xuewu watched as Zhang Chen disappeared in a flash of blood and muttered to himself, “Could it be that Master is planning to give Zhang Chen the benefits of Third Senior Brother? If that’s the case, at least my benefits won’t be reduced.”

Zhang Chen went to the cave of his eldest senior brother, Hong Longguang, and explained the matter of taking over Third Senior Brother’s affairs again.

However, Hong Longguang did not immediately respond, but instead wanted to notify the others to discuss it together before giving Zhang Chen an answer.

Back in his own cave, Zhang Chen took out the jade slip given to him by Patriarch Blood River.

After hesitating for a moment, he placed the jade slip on his forehead.

[Detected cultivation technique, Blood Devouring Demon Technique. Condensing baleful aura in blood, it can leave the body to attack or surround the body to resist attacks. It is both offensive and defensive.]

[Side effects: If you learn this technique, you will be affected by the murderous aura and become extremely irritable.]

[Please wait a moment, system modification is in progress…]

[Ding! Modification complete. Side effects canceled.]

Zhang Chen frowned. The effect was indeed the same as what Elder Blood River had said, but the side effects were not mentioned at all by the patriarch or in the jade slip.

“Was this cultivation technique intentionally given to me, or is it a coincidence?”

Zhang Chen did not know that Elder Blood River had noticed that he was not affected by the influence of the madness, but the side effect of the blood body controlling possession made him wary of the high-level members of the Blood God Sect from the beginning.

In addition, Elder Blood River had used three spots for accepting disciples to exchange for him and bestowed him with a top-grade magical weapon. He had been too attentive to get someone to inform him immediately when three years were up.

In this kind of environment, Zhang Chen had to use the greatest malice to speculate.

If he weren’t worried, this Blood Devouring Demon Technique would indeed be excellent.

On the other side, in Hong Longguang’s cave, Zhang Chen’s several senior brothers had gathered.

“Eldest Senior Brother, did you call us here for something?” Du Nanfeng was puzzled.

“Two hours ago, Seventh Junior Brother came to me and said that Master asked him to take over Third Junior Brother’s affairs in the Beast Garden.”

“Take over Third Senior Brother’s affairs? Why take over? Third Senior Brother should be back in a few months, right?” Du Nanfeng was full of confusion.

“With my understanding of Master, Master wants Seventh Junior Brother to take over Third Junior Brother’s gains in the Beast Garden.” Hong Longguang felt conflicted. He didn’t understand why his master made such a decision.

“If that’s the case, what about Third Senior Brother? With his personality, he’s bound to make trouble for Seventh Junior Brother,” Du Nanfeng said in surprise.

“That’s the problem. That’s why we’re here to discuss whether to let Seventh Junior Brother take over Third Junior Brother’s share or redistribute our respective shares.” Du Nanfeng looked at the group.

After a moment of silence, Zhou Xuewu said, “Since Master’s intention is for Seventh Junior Brother to take over Third Junior Brother’s benefits in the Beast Garden, let’s follow Master’s orders.”

“I agree,” several people agreed one after another.

If they redistributed the shares, with the addition of Zhang Chen, their shares would decrease.

If they let Zhang Chen take over, they would not lose anything.

When the time came, the conflict between the two of them would have nothing to do with them. After all, it was difficult to defy their master’s order, and they were only following it.

“Then let Seventh Junior Brother take over Third Junior Brother’s gains in the Beast Garden.” Hong Longguang nodded.

The next day, Zhang Chen was very surprised to learn about the situation. He never thought he could take over Third Senior Brother’s profits.

He had self-awareness and did not think that a newly-promoted disciple could take over his third senior brother’s huge benefits.

Initially, he only thought that it was fine as long as he could obtain benefits.

“In that case, wouldn’t I have offended Third Senior Brother?”

Zhang Chen also realized the problem, but he couldn’t just give up on the benefits he had obtained. Moreover, this was decided by Elder Blood River and those senior brothers.

Three months later, in the Beast Garden.

Zhang Chen sat cross-legged in a cave abode at the top of the mountain. Not far away was a blood pool. A red bead floated above the blood pool, constantly absorbing the blood in the pool.

This was the center of the Beast Garden’s array formation. If something went wrong, all the demon beasts would run out.

He had been involved in the affairs of the Beast Garden for 10 days, mainly to watch over the operation of the array formation and extract blood for Foundation Establishment demon beasts.

Foundation Establishment demon beasts were powerful. Even if they were bound by the array formation, they were not something ordinary Qi Refinement disciples could approach.

“Senior Brother Zhang, the Alchemy House wants five bottles of Foundation Establishment demon blood.” Outside the cave abode, a disciple from the Beast Garden came to report.

The bottles he mentioned were blood storage bottles.

“I know.” Zhang Chen went outside the cave, took the blood storage bottles and walked towards the cave where the Foundation Establishment demon beasts were imprisoned.

Compared to the cave where the Qi Refinement demon beasts were imprisoned, the cave where the Foundation Establishment demon beasts were imprisoned was abnormally quiet.

Only the majestic aura kept emanating from the cave, which could suffocate those in the Qi Refinement period and give people a sense of danger, making them want to keep away.

Zhang Chen remained calm and walked into the cave.

“Little brother, do you think I’m beautiful?”

In the nearby chamber, a graceful and charming woman looked at Zhang Chen with a mixture of pitifulness and expectation.

Zhang Chen was unmoved and took out the array formation token.

The woman glanced at the array formation token, took off her clothes, and said seductively, “Little Brother, as long as you let me out, I’ll do whatever you want.”

Zhang Chen remained indifferent because this was an illusion. In his spiritual eyes, the stunning beauty in the stone chamber was nothing but a giant fox with coquettish moves.

By infusing his mana into the formation plate, chains of blood shackles bound the fox’s limbs in a cross shape.

This posture was even more alluring. Her figure could be seen clearly.

In the illusion, the woman looked like she wanted to reject him but did not want to. Not many men could resist her seduction.

Unfortunately, illusions of this level were useless against Zhang Chen. In his eyes, she was just a big fox.

The fox demon didn’t know that she was wasting her effort and continued to seduce and entice him, crying and acting pitifully. “Are you really that heartless?”

Her tone and demeanor made it seem like Zhang Chen was a heartless man who had abandoned her.

Zhang Chen was expressionless. He took out the Mad Blood Saber and cut the fox demon’s skin, using the blood storage bottle to absorb the demon blood.

As the blood flowed out, the woman’s face turned pale. She looked at Zhang Chen with despair and innocence. “I’m about to die. Before I die, can you let me see the outside world?”

As she spoke, she even shed tears.

Zhang Chen was speechless. This fox demon really had many tricks up her sleeve. If seduction didn’t work, she would act pitiful and innocent.

Ignoring her request, Zhang Chen finished taking her blood, reactivated the formation barrier, and walked towards the next stone chamber.

The fox demon still didn’t give up and lay weakly on the ground, reaching out her hand. “Big brother, don’t leave me. It’s cold and dark here, and I’m so scared. Stay with me.”

Zhang Chen stopped in his tracks.

The fox demon saw this and was overjoyed.

Zhang Chen turned around and smiled. “Then I’ll come back tomorrow to take your blood.”

The fox demon’s body stiffened, and she cursed loudly, “Are you a man? Are you a eunuch? You heartless person!”

Zhang Chen ignored the drama queen fox demon and came to the second stone chamber.

A Foundation Establishment stage tiger demon was being held captive here. Its lantern-sized eyes were staring at Zhang Chen covetously.

Its ferocious gaze and imposing predatory aura would scare the timid..
