As I stepped into the underground chamber, the scene before me suddenly brightened. The entire underground chamber was not too large, but not small either, and it seemed to have occupied the entire area of the Ling Beast Hall, opening up a layer of space underground.

  Here are the oil lamps that light up, on both sides are rows of cages, large and small. Almost every cage has a young spirit beast inside, not only that, but some larger cages also have several adult spirit beasts inside.

  These adult spiritual beasts were not very powerful, at most only fourth-order, and they were all severely injured. They were the ones that those people brought out from Qu Ting Mountain. These adult spiritual beasts did not howl, they just lay on the ground, silently licking their wounds. When Ling Jue walked in, they struggled to get up, but were completely unable to do so.

  "Look, these are all taken out of the mountains by them." Ling Jue pointed at those cages and said to Tang Feng.

  Tang Feng didn't count carefully, but roughly estimated that there were at least thirty or forty spiritual beast cubs here.

  "There's also this." Ling Yueran pulled Tang Feng to a bamboo woven frame, her lips pursed and her tone somewhat melancholic as she spoke.

  Tang Feng looked down and saw that there were many spirit beast cubs lying in the frame, their small bodies thin and weak. However, they had already stopped breathing and died, piled together in a disorderly manner. The number was not small either.

  Qiang Yi took the Ling Beast cubs out of Qu Ting Mountain, causing them to leave their natural environment. The cubs' weak bodies could not withstand this change, and many died within a few days due to constant wailing day and night.

  It can be said that at least half of the young cubs brought out from Quting Mountain by the Ling Shou Tang people cannot survive. It's not that they don't know how to domesticate them, but rather the cubs' physical condition is too weak.

  However, if they can raise these cubs and successfully grow them up, then these cubs will also gradually adapt to their own lives in the future, and will bring extraordinary help to their masters.

  These spiritual beasts are just the number of spiritual beasts that the people in the Spiritual Beast Hall capture from the Qu Ting Mountain every month. After they come out of the mountain, they will secretly send the surviving spiritual beast cubs or adult spiritual beasts to the General Hall, where they will continue to be domesticated.

  Tang Feng also felt somewhat helpless upon seeing this.

  This can't be blamed on Xiao Tian Lang, after all it's the king of beasts in Qu Ting Shan. When its own people are treated this way, it will naturally seek revenge. Just like when a woman from Tian Xiu is bullied, Tang Feng will also stand up for her. But Tang Feng and Ling Shou Tang have no grudges or grievances, now that Xiao Tian Lang has stirred things up here, it will inevitably push Tang Feng and the forces behind Ling Shou Tang to opposing sides.

  There is no wall that doesn't leak wind, and since Tang Feng has arrived here, the news will definitely spread. At that time, who can say clearly about the death of those people from Ling Shou Hall? This account will probably be counted on Tang Feng's head.

  Yesterday, I got into a fight with Han Dong, and my relationship with Bai Di City has become somewhat awkward. Tang Feng was worried about how to explain things when he met Lazy Sister again in the future, but unexpectedly, today he offended another sect. This is really an unlucky year.

  Moreover, the death of the middle-aged woman in Zui Chun Lou is also likely to involve Liu Yun Zong.

  Those who have been wronged, only the Cold Winter and White Emperor City were actively provoked by Tang Feng, while the remaining two were forced to be involved. Life is really helpless.

  "What now?" Tang Feng looked at Ling Jue and asked, his question was directed at Xiao Tian Lang, as it was the one that had caused the trouble, and there were still many young spiritual beasts and several adult spiritual beasts here, so naturally he had to ask for the opinion of this king of beasts.

  Ling Que's face fell silent for a moment before saying: "Xiao Tian said it wants to take all these little guys back."

  "Take them to Tianxiu?" Tang Feng furrowed his brow, these spiritual beast cubs were really too small, even if he put them back on Qu Ting Mountain, they would probably not be able to survive. He had no choice but to take them back to Tianxiu and let the women there raise them.

  Women are naturally kind and also like small animals and fluffy things, letting them raise them is not a bad suggestion, if they can really raise them big, in the future it will also increase some strength for Tian Xiu.

  The remaining spiritual beast cubs are mostly third or fourth tier, and there are even two fifth-tier spiritual beast cubs. If raised to adulthood, they will not be inferior to top-tier masters, but the growth period is still quite long, at least several years.

  "Xiao Tian hopes you can help with this matter." Ling Huai Yan conveyed Xiao Tian Lang's meaning from the side.

  Feng nodded and his expression turned serious again, saying: "However... next time can't be so reckless, if there's something like this again, you have to discuss it with me first."

  "Well, it says it knows."

  They carefully took out the cubs one by one from the cage and put them into a frame covered with a blanket, while Xiao Shu and Duan Shu were also helping on the side. Xiao Shu even planned to raise a fifth-order spiritual beast for Mengmeng, which although only equivalent to a low-grade earthly spiritual beast at the beginning, would be equal to a low-grade heavenly spiritual beast once it grew to its peak.

  Fortunately, these cubs were all very small, and even with dozens of them, three or four boxes could hold them. The injured adult spirit beasts were also released, limping as they walked, but there was Xi Tian Lang and Ling Ju Yan here. They were all very well-behaved and didn't show any hostility towards Tang Feng and the others.

  Ling Que alone took out those dead spiritual beast cubs and dug a big pit in the yard, burying them all.

  Taking advantage of this time, Tang Feng found a few more intact corpses in the north, condensed their yin souls, and checked their memories.

  The information obtained is almost the same as what I heard that day. The Ling Shou Tang is indeed a branch hall, and its backstage force is a sect called Wan Shou Tang.

  In this world, there are many sects with their own characteristics. For example, the Tianxiu Sect is composed entirely of women, while the Tiangong Mountain Villa is famous for its intricate mechanisms, and the Wan Shou Tang is renowned for taming and summoning spiritual beasts.

  Inside the Wan Beast Hall, every slightly powerful disciple has a spiritual beast of their own. When they start cultivating, they will choose a spiritual beast cub and grow up with it, becoming stronger together. As time passes, the emotions between the Wan Beast Hall disciples and their spiritual beasts will develop from nothing to something deep, even to the point of life and death dependence.

  They don't need to understand the language of their spiritual beasts, but they know what their spiritual beasts are thinking because they grew up together.

  The younger brother of the Beast Hall is very advantageous in battle, because others can only rely on their own combat power, but they can not only rely on themselves, but also on their own spiritual beasts, equivalent to two against one.

  In the early stages of cultivation, the disciples of Wan Beast Hall can be said to have no equal among cultivators of the same level. However, as their realm deepens, their flaws will also gradually reveal themselves.

  Because they rely too much on the combat power of their spiritual beasts, they will instead hinder their own cultivation. Taking care of spiritual beasts and communicating with them also requires a lot of time and effort. When others are working hard to cultivate, they may be playing with their own spiritual beasts, so how can their own strength improve?

  But although it is said so, there are still masters in the Beast Hall, only the number of top-notch masters has always been very scarce.

  Ling Shou Hall is a branch of Wan Shou Hall, with only one character changed in its name to avoid being too ostentatious. There are several places like Ling Shou Hall within the Li Tang Empire, all located in cities near major mountain ranges, making it convenient for the people in these branches to capture spiritual beasts and provide a constant supply of blood for their sect.

  In this branch hall, there was originally a mid-grade Earth Stage cultivator sitting in the main seat, as well as several lower-grade Earth Stage and Mystic Stage cultivators. All of these people were hiding within the Spiritual Beast Hall, never showing their faces. However, at this moment, all of them had been killed by Xiao Tianwu, not a single one escaped.

  After reading through all this information, Tang Feng slowly let out a breath. This time, he had inexplicably gained even more enemies, and they were from a sect. It seemed that there would be no end to his troubles from now on.

  Xiao Shu and Duan Shu have already put all the Ling Beast cubs in the boxes, each of them carrying two boxes. The little Ling Beasts were rolling around inside with their plump bodies, occasionally letting out a few cries.

  They seem to know that the person in front of them is different from before, so their cries are no longer so mournful and desolate. Next to the two great killing gods were four three- or four-tier adult spirit beasts, staring at each other in silence.

  Tang Feng called out to Ling Jue Yan, who had already buried those dead little spirits: "Let's go."

  Ling Jie slowly got up, walked to Tang Feng's side with small steps, and then looked up: "I smell a lot of herbal medicine, they should all be collected by them in Qu Ting Mountain, Brother Wind, take them all away, I have use for them."

  "Where is it?"

  Just checked memory and it seems there was such information, but Tang Feng didn't pay close attention, so he didn't understand as clearly as Ling Jueyan.

  Ling Jue Yan walked into a room with Tang Feng, opened the door, and suddenly a strong medicinal fragrance wafted out.

  As far as the eye can see, there are countless spiritual grasses and medicines in the room, all of which are relatively precious medicinal materials. Some can even be said to be quite rare. These herbs were collected by the people from the Spiritual Beast Hall over the years, accumulating a considerable amount, most of which cannot be bought outside.

  Tang Feng had collected a lot of herbs on Quting Mountain last time, but after all, manpower was limited, and the time he spent on Quting Mountain was not long, which couldn't compare with the accumulation of the people in Ling Shou Hall.

  Anyway, the people here are already dead, and the murderer has already put the blame on himself. Tang Feng naturally wouldn't be polite to them anymore, so he gathered all the herbs and threw them into the Shadow Space.

  After finishing all this, a few people slowly walked out of the Spiritual Beast Hall, and outside, countless onlookers and people who didn't understand the truth gathered from afar. The few people were accompanied by several injured spiritual beasts, making it impossible to hide their identities and appearances.
