Sharing Tamed Beasts’ Talents for Eternal Life

Chapter 16



Chapter 16

....

Observing the unusual Beacon City, He Qingge’s first thought was to leave.


He immediately left Beacon City.


The mission was indeed important, but his life was more important.


At the same time, he circulated the spiritual power in his body and activated the Evil-Warding Talisman on his body. This place looked quite strange and unusual.


The moment the Evil-Warding Talisman was activated, He Qingge’s eyelids twitched. The Evil-Warding Talisman stuck to his body was burning hot as though it was actually burning. It had obviously triggered the evil-warding effect.


The Sound-Gathering Butterfly on his shoulder was also trembling its wings slightly. He Qingge could feel its emotions. It was quite anxious.


As he walked, He Qingge suddenly stopped in his tracks. On the way here, he had used Hearing to carve out the entire route in his mind, and it formed a map.


Now, he suddenly realized that the path he took was wrong. It was different from the map in his mind.


He instantly became alert. What the hell was this place?


A huge maze that could envelop a large city, be it an illusion or some sort of array, was definitely not something that ordinary cultivators could set up.


His vision must have been disrupted.


He Qingge closed his eyes and used Hearing with all his might. He wanted to use the sound waves to scout the way for him.


The wall in front of him disappeared in an instant. He forced himself to calm down and left the place according to the route.


The level of the mission had exceeded his current ability. He Qingge left without looking back.


After quickly leaving Beacon City, the two Evil-Warding Talismans on He Qingge’s body had completely burned up.


He was still a little worried, so he activated the third talisman. In the end, the third talisman burned halfway.


This situation really made him feel a little scared. He quickly rushed to the place where he kept his horse.


At the very least, he did not find anything wrong when he came.


After arriving at the small county town, He Qingge heaved a sigh of relief. Everything was as usual, and theEvil-Warding Talisman on his body had not been triggered.


He found an inn to settle down and pondered.


To be able to trigger the Evil-Warding Talisman on his body meant that the evil spirits in Beacon City were causing trouble.


However, how powerful must the evil be to be able to envelop the entire city in an illusion?


He felt that even someone in the perfected Qi Refinement Realm could not do that.


The outside world was too dangerous. It was still safer inside the sect. This was the first mission he took on outside the sect, and he already found himself in such a situation.


“Waiter, I heard that Beacon City is quite lively. It’s a famous big city nearby. Can you tell me more about that place?”


He Qingge ordered some side dishes and a pot of wine. He took out some silver pieces and placed them on the table.


“Sir, you’re too polite.” The smile on the waiter’s face was obvious to all. He took the silver pieces and gently shook them.


“You asked the right person.


“Beacon City is indeed a famous big city nearby. It’s quite prosperous. The most famous landmark is Red Spring Tower, and Miss Wan Wan is the most popular figure there.


“Have you heard of Miss Wan Wan’s name?


“She’s the number one beauty in Beacon City. Countless young geniuses want to make her smile and spend hundreds of gold on her.


“It’s a pity that I don’t have the chance to see just how outstanding her looks are.”


He Qingge calmly listened to the waiter’s words and did not interrupt or ask questions.


In the end, the waiter could not help but remind him, “Although Beacon City is prosperous and interesting, it’s better for you not to go there for the time being.”


“Why?” He Qingge suddenly became spirited.


“Beacon City is such a prosperous city. Do you know who the strongest force is?”


“Who is it? Is it not the city lord?”


“Indeed, it’s not the city lord but the Zhu family. The Zhu family has been operating there for more than 300 years and is a famous family. Their influence is quite huge, and they have their hands in almost every industry in Beacon City.


“Normally, I wouldn’t dare to mention these things. Some time ago, the Zhu family’s young master wanted to force Miss Wan Wan to be his concubine.


“Logically speaking, this should be a good thing. No matter how popular she is, she’s still a prostitute. To be able to obtain the favor of the Zhu family’s young master, that’s really a blessing from the heavens.”


He Qingge’s eyes flashed slightly. He had read something about it in the mission manual before he came.


More than 300 members of the Zhu family had died in a rather strange manner.


From the looks of it, this Miss Wan Wan seemed to have something to do with this matter.


However, these things had nothing to do with him. He was prepared to leave here tomorrow. Now, he only wanted to ask the waiter for more information so that he could go back and report on his work.


The more information he gave, the more it showed that he cared about this mission.


“Who knew that something big would happen? More than 300 members of the Zhu family all died overnight.


“Just listening to that story makes me feel scared.


“The Zhu family was able to sit firmly in Beacon City for 300 years because many martial arts experts became their guards.


“But they all died in one night. They died quite miserably too. I heard that they didn’t seem to be killed by humans.


“All their flesh and blood had been sucked dry, turning them into nothing but skeletons. Even their hearts were dug out.”


When the waiter described it, his face revealed a trace of fear.


“What’s important is that there are a few other great families who died in such a strange and terrifying way back then just like the Zhu family.


“It’s not good that the ones who died are all these big families. Ordinary people have never heard of such a thing.


“However, I can tell from your clothes that you must be a rich and noble person. I have to remind you not to enter Beacon City for the time being unless there’s something particularly important.


“A few days ago, another big family died. I heard that several big families are preparing to move out of Beacon City.”


He Qingge pondered as he listened to the waiter.


He had encountered an illusion when he went to Beacon City, but how did this waiter know about the situation in the city?


The illusion obviously did not welcome him on purpose.


“You’re quite well-informed. You know what happened a few days ago,” He Qingge asked with a smile.


“Sir, there’s another branch of this inn in the city.


“That’s the main branch. Usually, we have to transport a batch of meat and vegetables every few days for consumption.”


“Then, have you found any unusual places when you went there in the past?” He Qingge stared at the waiter’s expression.


“I didn’t notice anything unusual, but the place just feels a little awkward. It’s mainly because it was so lively in the past, and it has become much more desolate recently.” The waiter shook his head.
