Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 403 - Li Muyang’s Home

Chapter 403 - Li Muyangs Home

The Ancient Qilin Clans Manor City was separated into an inner and outer city. The inner city was divided into seven areas, and one of them was occupied by the Ink Qilin Branchs Ink Manor. This was a massive city, and aside from the buildings, there were also many landscape decorations like mountains and rivers. The scope of the city was similar to the Grand-Orient Sect.

The Solar Disc flew in the sky and directly descended after reaching Ink Manor. There was a magnificent, ink-green gate that was higher than the Imperial Ninefold Gates. Furthermore, there were dozens of saintly heavenly patterns on it, which looked gorgeous under the nightscape.

Past the gate, Ink Manor was brightly lit and seemed prosperous. Tianming estimated that there had to be at least ten thousand people in the manor. Although the Ancient Qilin Clan had been on the decline for the past forty years, that was only for the younger generations. For the Ink Manor alone to be so huge, it seemed like the Ancient Qilin Clan was bigger than Tianming had imagined.

Mo Yu! Chong Yang yelled upon arriving. Shortly after, a gorgeous woman wearing an ink-colored dress came floating out from the darkness. She had white skin and a well-maintained posture. But her eyes reflected her age, though she probably wasnt any older than the three exalts.

Didnt the three of you go chasing after Li Muyang? Mo Yu was at least a saint, as she was able to fly in the air.

Li Muyang toyed with us and we werent able to find him. But we managed to find something else, instead, said Chong Yang.

What is it?

Lets talk about it privately.

Chong Yang and Mo Yu went to the side and conversed by themselves, and a shocked expression could clearly be seen on Mo Yus face. She even turned to look at Tianming several times.

He cannot be killed or harmed. Otherwise, Im afraid that the Decimo Dao Palace will come looking for us. Well impose the lifetime curse on him tomorrow and throw him into the Infernal Soul Purgatory, then think of another method in case Li Muyang doesnt come, said Chong Yang.

Got it. The look in Mo Yus eyes changed as she looked at the white-haired Tianming with a complicated expression.

Does Li Muyang still have anyone alive in his family? Chong Yang asked.

Theres still some distant relatives. But if youre talking about someone who shared a close relationship with him, then theres only one old man left living in Li Muyangs old home, said Mo Yu.

Then put him there, said Chong Yang.

I have a question. Will the Ancient Theocrats take him away if they learn of his existence? asked Mo Yu.

I dont know. I reported it to them when the Cyclic Mirror appeared. But the Primeval Autarch told us to take it back to redeem ourselves. After all, the Primeval Autarch had destroyed Li Muyangs saint origin back then, and he had already lost his cultivation. Otherwise, he wouldnt have had to hide for four decades, said Chong Yang.

What if the Ancient Theocrats ask for this boy?

Then well give him to them, replied Chong Yang.

But hes also Li Shenxiaos descendant! Why is his identity so complicated? Does the Decimo Dao Palace know of his existence?

We will officially announce imposing the lifetime curse on him tomorrow. Well be able to see the Decimo Dao Palaces reaction at that time, said Chong Yang.

Okay. We can also see the reaction from the Ancient Theocrats then, too. After all, this childs identity is a little too convoluted, said Mo Yu.

Hes involved in too many things. I heard from Yun Zhenzhen that the Grand-Orient Sect has someone called Li Wudi, who used the Venomdrake Spike to undergo his Lifesbane for fourteen years, achieving a hexabane and reaching the Sky Saint stage. Chong Yang knitted his brows.

Are you joking with me? Where did this hexabane come from? Mo Yu was stunned.

Thats definitely true. She also said that Tianming is the son of that fellow. I only knew that he was just Tianmings foster father when I asked that brat.

What is the Decimo Dao Palace going to do with that hexabane? Mo Yu asked.

With Li Shenxiaos status in the Decimo Dao Palace in ancient times, I believe theyll try getting him to join the palace. Furthermore, theyll groom him. Thats the reason why Im having a headache now; its all due to that kids relationship with that hexabane.

What if the Decimo Dao Palace tries to take this brat away? Mo Yu asked.

Theres no way we can give them this brat. Hes a descendant of the Ancient Qilin Clan, so why should we have to give him to them? Chong Yang replied.

But hes also a descendant of the Li Saint Clan.

Anyway, we got him first. Moreover, the lifetime curse is a punishment decreed by the Primeval Autarch. So theres nothing the Decimo Dao Palace can say about that.

The lifetime curse will definitely suppress his talent as a pentabane, affecting him greatly. Furthermore, itll be imprinted on him for a lifetime, Mo Yu said with pity flickering in her eyes.

What are you thinking? Hes here to atone for his father. Even if we let him go, hell still be destroyed sooner or later! Chong Yang raged.

Fine.

After they were done talking, Mo Yu walked over and waved her hand at Tianming. Follow up.

Tianming turned to cast a glance at Yun Zhenzhen and Jun Niancang, then entered Ink Manor. After he went in, Chong Yang, Jing Yue, and Ling Xing turned to leave. But just when they were about to leave, Yun Zhenzhen suddenly called out to them, Exalted ones....

The only response was a token flying in her direction, which Yun Zhenzhen immediately received. Take this token to the Saint Armory and pick a saint beast weapon with less than thirty saintly heavenly patterns, said Chong Yang.

Yes, thank you! Yun Zhenzhen immediately expressed excitement. All she did was just contribute a piece of information she had gotten by accident, and she received such a huge reward for it.

After the exalted ones left, Yun Zhenzhen noticed the troubled look in Jun Niancangs eyes and said, Whats the matter? Did it feel terrible losing to him? Thats because he used the Spiritburn Tome. So dont feel too bad about it.

However, Jun Niancang replied by shaking his head.

Is it about Heavens Elysium, then? Werent you feeling ashamed of your father? So why are you sad?

You wouldnt understand. Im now the only person remaining of my family. The Jun Clan of Heavens Elysium had lost terribly. Jun Niancang closed his eyes in pain. Furthermore, Ill never be able to take revenge for Longer.

Didnt you hear that hes the son of a sinner? His outcome will only be more terrible than you think. Just watch if you dont believe me, said Yun Zhenzhen.

Is that so?

What do you plan to do now?

Return to the Decimo Dao Palace to cultivate, replied Jun Niancang.

After that?

I have no idea. Maybe Ill be able to take revenge for Longer one day, or even return to the Grand-Orient Realm and take back Heavens Elysium.

Arent you someone who longed for freedom?

I no longer have the qualification for that, with the feud Im bearing, Jun Niancang said with his voice choking up.

Alright then, Ill send you out.

Okay.

Furthermore, try to forget Yueling Long. Do you know what I mean?

Mhm?

Have you never considered why I went to the Grand-Orient Ream looking for you when you only helped me once?

I

Honestly speaking, Im happy that shes dead.

......

Exalted one! Many people greeted Mo Yu when they entered. As they walked, Qilin saint beasts could be seen laying or playing around by the side.

Exalted one, whos this?

His arm....

Is he related to Li Muyang? Many people came and surrounded Mo Yu and Tianming, looking at them with gloomy eyes as the two walked in.

Stop asking about it. Theres a clan meeting tomorrow, said Mo Yu.

Yes!

Disperse! Dont stand around!

Although Mo Yu had left with Tianming, there were still many people in Ink Manor, quietly standing there. When Tianming turned around, he could see the rage in their eyes.

......

Passing through the buildings along a small path, Tianming saw an old courtyard. The courtyard was lit, and flames could be seen flickering from within. The brightness here couldnt be compared to the houses down below, and it didnt take long for them to arrive.

Exalted one, where is this place?

This will be your resting place in the future, if you can come out of the Infernal Soul Purgatory, said Mo Yu.

Got it. Tianming didnt think that this place was bad, despite looking a little old and tattered; he was an optimistic person. This place would be his new home, so it didnt seem bad to be away from people. However, he knew that he wouldnt be spending much time there. He knew that, to force Li Muyang to return, they would definitely torture him in the Infernal Soul Purgatory.

This is where your father grew up, said Mo Yu.

Oh? Tianming became more interested in the place.

Your grandfather and great grandfather left the world early, so theres only an old man inside. Hes the second uncle of your father, so he can be considered your only relative remaining in this world, aside from your parents, said Mo Yu.

Li Muyangs second uncle?

If this old man is Li Muyangs second uncle, wouldnt he be my second grand uncle? Then this old man should be pretty old. After all, Li Muyang should be in his eighties, right? Speaking of which, Li Muyang, that old geezer, had actually gone after his young mother!

Are you sure youre not going to change your name? Mo Yu cast a glance at Tianming, then shook her head. Taking a few more glances at Tianming, she continued, You look like Yang when he was younger.

Yang?

Your father.

Hahaha! Tianming couldnt hold back his laughter when he heard that.

Whats your cultivation right now? Mo Yu asked.

Fourth-level Heavenly Will.

Are you sure? You seem to be higher than that, replied Mo Yu.

Then add a few more levels if you want.

Mo Yu was curious when she saw how fearless Tianming was. Wasnt he afraid of what he would be facing? She asked, Youre a pentabane, so why isnt your cultivation higher?

I started cultivating late.

How late?

When I was already a teenager.

Your parents didnt care about you?

Nope, Tianming lied. Right now, he just wanted to avoid talking about Wei Jing so his mother wouldnt be pulled into this vortex.

What a pity then. After imposing the lifetime curse on you and throwing you into the Infernal Soul Purgatory, your talents will be suppressed. You wont be able to make any improvements on your cultivation, and youll also lose the chance to catch up to your peers, Mo Yu sighed. She patted Tianmings shoulder and hesitated briefly, then said, Its useless to try to escape. You wont be able to leave Ink Manor. Just rest well for the night. Tomorrow, the entire Ancient Qilin Clan will come to know about you.

Tianming was standing halfway up the mountain. From his position, he could see the entire Manor City. The city was brightly lit, and its heart was like the day. Looking at it, Tianmings eyes blazed. That must be the Infernal Soul Purgatory.

Suddenly, the courtyard gate opened with a creak. A blind old man wearing an undershirt and a pair of shorts walked out holding on to a cane, Yang, is that you? Are you back home?
