Chapter 61: The Great Manhunt

  In terms of strength, the Beast Tamer Sect is only a second-rate sect in the Cultivation Realm, far inferior to the Wan Dao Sect. However, when it comes to beast taming techniques, they are unparalleled, and even the Wan Dao Sect has to admit defeat, to the point where they have offered large quantities of Ling Dan to exchange for the Beast Tamer Sect's Guardian Spirit Slaves.

  So once something happens to them, it will soon be known and spread far and wide.

  "This is suspicious, just a demonic creature, how can it sneak into the main hall without making a sound and kill two inner door disciples? Could it be that their taming method has flaws, leading to the demonic servant rebelling?"

  "In those years, there were several Blood Wolves that had turned against the Beast Tamer Sect, causing a large number of casualties. Until now, one of them has not been found yet. The Beast Tamer Sect's method of taming beasts is not as safe as they claim it to be. Whoever buys their demonic servants must make early preparations!"

  "It's said that the Beast Tamer Sect has issued a decree, calling on all cultivators to capture that demon. Whoever provides information will be rewarded with 1,000 Spirit Gathering Pills!"

  All the rumors and doubts ceased with the edict of the Tamerlane clan.

  A thousand Spirit Gathering Pills, what a heaven-defying fortune!

  At that time, Qi Lei had just swallowed a few pills and broke through the small demon's bottleneck, his cultivation had a qualitative improvement. With a thousand Spirit Gathering Pills, he could exchange for higher-level spirit medicine, allowing his cultivation to smoothly advance to the Golden Dan realm, or even higher.

  Entice people!

  It's really too tempting!

  Whoever heard it couldn't help but swallow hard and their eyes shone with excitement.

  "Brothers, let's go for it! Such a great opportunity may never come again in our lifetime. Who wants to join me on an adventure into the deep mountains? Sign up quickly!"

  A big bearded man licked his lips, his tiger eyes scanning the surroundings, his hands clenched into fists and waving repeatedly, saying hatefully. 7Z?

  "Damn it! Man dies for wealth, bird dies for food, I'm joining in!"

  Someone waved his hand, knowing that this matter had the danger of death and disappearance, but he couldn't resist the temptation and signed up.

  "Count me in!"

  "Me too!"

  For a time, there was a hubbub of voices, and in the end, seven or eight people steeled themselves to follow Big Beard.

  "Brothers, good job! Let's go report back to the Beast Tamer Sect and then launch a massive manhunt according to their arrangements!"

  The big-bearded man was overjoyed and with a generous wave of his hand, he led those few people away.

  "Wait a minute, such a good thing, how can I be left out? Count me in!"

  At this moment, a young man gritted his teeth and signed up. Looking at him, his face was flushed with excitement, as if he had made a very big decision before signing up.

  "Good brother, indeed young and promising, but somewhat unfamiliar, may I ask your great name?"

  "Hmm, my surname is Qi and my name is Lei. I've been cultivating in seclusion in the Tian Shan Mountains for a long time. I just came out recently to gain experience, so please take care of me, big brother."

  "Over there, can't say it's great, but following big brother around, you'll never be at a loss --"

  Perhaps because they had a common goal, the nine people quickly became familiar with each other after exchanging names, chatting and laughing together. Especially Big Beard, who really had the potential to be a "leader", every word he said was reasonable and made sense, making it impossible not to admire him. Even Qi Lei couldn't help but nod in approval, secretly thinking that this person was a talent.

  "You are the 250th squad, numbered 205. In the future manhunt, remember your number at all times and do not make any mistakes."

  "What? Are we idiots?"

  Zi Lei was sweating profusely, unable to help but laugh and cry at the same time.

  The disciples of the Tamer Sect in front of him were still chatting and laughing, seemingly unaware of the peculiarity of the number "250".

  Zi Lei and others exchanged glances, their faces full of embarrassment, not knowing whether to agree or strongly refute, especially the big bearded man, who was originally smiling with a pleased expression, but instantly turned into astonishment, unable to utter a word.

  "Next team, you are the two hundred and fifty-first squad, code-"

  Zi Lei, Da Hu Zi and others, had not yet come to their senses from the awkwardness, were pushed and pulled by a small team behind them, and were forced to one side. When they wanted to protest, they had already been assigned the number "250" and could not change it.

  "Damn it, we're actually idiots! Damn it, this is unacceptable, this, this, this needs to be changed, it's too unlucky!"

  There was a person in the team named Xia Jian, who particularly liked to say the phrase "he's mother". At this time, he couldn't help but say two of them, with an expression of great disgust on his face. It seemed as if he had accidentally swallowed a fly, and the more he thought about it, the more disgusting it became.

  Not to mention them, even Zile felt uncomfortable.

  He finished his revenge and obtained the Nine-Section Whip and the remaining pages of the Soul-Nourishing Technique. He should have returned to Qitian Island to cultivate, but suddenly heard that the Beast-Taming Sect had a blood wolf escape a few years ago. Suddenly understanding, they spoke 100% about the Three-Pawed Wolf King Liang's patricide, and his heart moved, having the intention of rescuing him.

  However, he has already made a foray into the Beast Tamer Sect once, and the Beast Tamer Sect must have been on guard against him; going again would be looking for death.

  Just as he was worried, he heard the big bearded man say that they had to report to the Beast Tamer Sect first. His heart skipped a beat and he suddenly came up with an idea, hastily joining in on the massive search.

  It's unbelievable, mainly because any demon clan, even if they transform into a human, will still emit demonic energy in their actions, which is completely different from a true cultivator. But Qi Lei is an exception, with a human soul within him, his movements are naturally undetectable, and his demonic power is pure white, extremely noble, to the point where it's hard to believe it's demonic power at all, making it impossible to distinguish him from others.

  If the Beast Tamer Sect knew that the "demon" they were searching for was actually among their search party, they would probably be so angry that they would die on the spot.

  But now they are determined to capture Zilei at all costs.

  Not to mention how much manpower they themselves invested, just talking about the small teams formed by the scattered repair teams, there were as many as 500 in number. Each team had a specific search area and almost all the desolate mountains and wild ridges where the monster might be hiding were searched thoroughly.

  Operation Manhunt has officially begun.

  Each squad was tense, staring with wide eyes and clenched fists, extremely cautious, fearing that they would discover the "demon" and be killed in an instant.

  Zi Lei and his team were also among them.

  More than 500 teams, only they were "lucky" enough to become the "250th" team, naturally attracted a lot of attention. However, their luck was not bad, and they were assigned to search for a certain area of the Tian Shan Mountains. Although everyone had different predictions about where the "demon" might be hiding, the Tian Shan Mountains were undoubtedly the most likely place, but also the most dangerous one.

  "Everyone, brothers, the opportunity is right in front of us. Keep your eyes peeled and clench your fists, search carefully. Once you find the demon, don't panic or lose control. Immediately gather around me. With our nine people's strength, we can protect ourselves with ease. As long as we hold on until the Beast Tamer Sect's seniors arrive, a large amount of Spirit Gathering Pills will be ours."

  Looking at the dense jungle, Big Beard felt a bit tense, swallowed his saliva and urged on hastily.

  Those who dare to join the big hunt are either fugitives or have long been prepared for death, so everyone is not very tense at this moment, but rather excited and eager to rush into the forest.
