Chapter 409 Find Its Master

Li Xinfan was the only person who could give commands as per the general situation.

Nonetheless, this was the exact reason he was greatly pressured. He knew a careless move or a wrong judgment from him would likely cause unimaginable and negative consequences. Did the spirit beast just surrender? Was it real or fake? Could it be scheming something?

Everything was bothering Li Xinfan, and he was left with much time to think.

At the same time, many Supreme Great Ancestors on the wall were on tenterhooks and were fully focused. As long as Li Xinfan gave the word, they would instantly release their greatest combat powers, as well as their essential Qi to activate the skills in their pieces of equipment.

The Eight-armed Giant Beast was getting closer to the prefecture, which meant that an attack could happen at any moment.

Ou Yangming sensed the tense atmosphere around him, and he could tell how resolute Li Xinfan was.

Spirit beasts had been the culprit of the Humans’ disasters for generations. As such, the people had always known that they could not coexist with the creatures. Therefore, when Li Xinfan was forced down to the wire, he had almost gone with it because he did not have a choice.

Nevertheless, just as Li Xinfan was going to order an attack, Ou Yangming beat him to it and shouted, “General Li, it has good intentions!”

Li Xinfan was stunned, and he could not help but glance at the young fellow, who nodded hard at him.

A person would have dissimilar statuses and ranks during different periods, giving one contrasting speaking rights.

General Li would not have bothered if Ou Yangming said the same thing when he first arrived at the prefecture. Now, when the young fellow spoke so firmly, the general exhaled deeply as though he was very relieved. He announced loudly, “Be wary but don’t attack too easily.”

With that, the intensity in the air was reduced by half. Although nobody dared to let down their guards, the fearsome atmosphere where a life-or-death war was going to break out had disappeared.

Needless to say, it was also because the Eight-armed Giant Beast had displayed nearly oppressive abilities. If not, judging from how aggressive the Humans were, they would certainly not hold back.

The giant beast stopped more than 35 meters away. It stretched its arm and swayed the little white cloth in its hand.

Li Xinfan hesitated for a while before he questioned loudly, “Why have you come this

time?”

The general did not expect the Eight-armed Giant Beast to answer him, but he figured that the intelligent creature could understand him and would respond with gestures.

Who knew, the giant beast opened its humongous mouth.

It was the exact depiction of a sacrificial bowl, causing the people to be afraid.

“My fated master lies among you humans.” The Eight-armed Giant Beast widened its mouth and spoke in such a sonorous voice that nearly the entire city could hear it clearly. “I’ve come to find my master.”

“Woosh, woosh…”

The wind whistled in the air, such that the flags on the walls rattled.

Other than that, the thousands of people could not hear anything else.

From the moment the Eight-armed Giant Beast appeared, Li Xinfan, Elder Universe, and the others pondered numerous times and thought about countless possibilities. Despite that, as much as they thought outside the box, they never expected this to be the reason.

When they looked at the beast’s enormous build and sensed the frightening pressure from its body, they felt like they were hearing things.

‘Find your master?’

‘Does a fella like you need a master in this world?’

‘We might believe you even if you say you’re representing the Beasts to sign a peace treaty with the Humans, but if you’re telling us you’re here to find your master… How can we buy it?’

Having said that, when the people stared at the giant beast, they did not think it was lying.

After all, a powerful spirit beast like it probably had dignity at the very least, right? It would probably not agree to lower itself to deceive the people with such a crappy excuse!

However, as clever as Elder Universe and the other powerhouses were, they could not have known the existence of a mightier and mysterious little phoenix behind the giant beast. The little bird, who ordered the Eight-armed Giant Beast around and treated it like a slave, was the initiator of everything.

“Wh-what kind of master are you looking for?” Li Xinfan finally asked after a long time, which meant that he acknowledged the giant beast’s statement.

The other people were in disbelief because if the formidable spirit beast chose one of them to be its master, that person would gain such a high rank in the dynasty that he or she would become unreachable. By then, even the Humans’ strongest powerhouse—the remarkable figure who lived in seclusion in the imperial family’s secret realm-would have to treat that person with different respect!

In actuality, after seeing the massive spirit beast and having experienced its mightiness, some people had indeed thought about controlling it, but nobody had the guts to act on their thoughts before the beast expressed itself.

The Eight-armed Giant Beast looked around, but its eyes seemed like two gigantic fire sources, causing the people to shudder with fear. In reality, the giant beast was actually cursing to itself, ‘Why do I have to play such a childish game with them? If those fellas find out about this, I’ll be ashamed for life! ‘I can only hope that sir is reliable!’

The Eight-armed Giant Beast was in despair, but it kept a vicious look on its face. Its voice sounded like rumbling thunders to the people as it spoke, “I naturally have my own standards, so you can stay out of this!”

Li Xinfan furrowed his eyebrows and noted, “Please forgive us, but we can’t let you enter our city.”

“Hmph, your city’s so tiny; I’m not even interested in going in!” The Eight-armed Giant Beast was scornful. Even though it was being impolite, the people were relieved after they heard what it said. If the beast had insisted on entering the city, they would be dubious about its intention. If that was the case, even if Li Xinfan agreed to let it in, the Supreme Great Ancestors would not agree with it.

Since the giant beast was not willing to enter the city, the people were at ease.

“As long as you’re not going to come in, we can talk things out. How would you like to choose your master? We’ll try to meet your preference,” Li Xinfan said in a deep voice.

The Eight-armed Giant Beast nodded and answered, “Show me your powerhouses. If someone catches my eye, I’ll let you know!”

Li Xinfan and the others exchanged glances and nodded. It would be risky, but if one of them could be acknowledged by a top-notch powerhouse like the beast, they would give it a go regardless of the costs.

Powerhouses—this was what the Eight-armed Giant Beast said.

Even so, the people were not surprised because they tacitly agreed that only a powerhouse like a Supreme Great Ancestor would be qualified enough to be the beast’s master. In fact, they would not find it strange even if it chose the imperial family’s number one powerhouse as its master; they felt like it would be expected.

On the contrary, if the Eight-armed Giant Beast chose an ordinary person as its master, there would be an uproar. Under Li Xinfan’s arrangement, many Supreme Great Ancestors went up to the wall. They did not stand together in a group because as long as the situation was not settled, they were still wary of the creature. If the beast suddenly attacked and the Supreme Great Ancestors were gathered together, the Humans would reach a dead-end.

The great ancestors were anxious but eager when they went up to the wall. No matter who would be chosen, as long as one was approved by the terrifying beast and became its master, one would directly become a superb being like the imperial family’s supreme elder.

According to Li Xinfan’s arrangement, Woo Lejia was one of the people from the first batch that went up. When he finally stood in front of the Eight-armed Giant Beast and saw its appalling face, he could better sense how horrifying it was.

‘How can a fella like that exist in this world?’

In spite of having such a thought, the Supreme Great Ancestors were in high spirits and had bright eyes when the Eight-armed Giant Beast approached them and twitched its nose to express its interest. At the end of the day, the great ancestors subconsciously hoped that the daunting beast would take them as its master!

However, after the Eight-armed Giant Beast sniffed and looked, it shook its head as it was displeased. “Hey, I’m here to find my master, so don’t fool me with these hideous squashes anymore!”

Li Xinfan and the others looked at each other and smiled bitterly. This intimidating fella is probably the only one that can address Supreme Great Ancestors as hideous squashes!’

Woo Lejia and the 9 other Supreme Great Ancestors were taken aback, and they were soon resentful. Nonetheless, given that they were facing the giant creature without sufficient backup, they were not daring enough to infuriate it, let alone fighting to kill it.

General Li shook his head and immediately switched out the great ancestors for a new batch. Nevertheless, they soon realized that the Eight-armed Giant Beast was getting more dissatisfied with the candidates.

The scary beast let out thunderous roars, causing everyone else to be scared witless. When the last Supreme Great Ancestor went up to the wall but still was not approved by the giant beast, the people and the beast looked grim.

“Do you not have powerhouses anymore?”

Li Xinfan forced a smile. “Sir, you’ve seen every Supreme Great Ancestor we have. If you still fail to find someone of your liking, there’s nothing we can do.”

All of a sudden, Elder Universe’s face changed, and he expressed, “Wait for a second, we have 3 more powerhouses.”

The other people were shocked, but they could not figure out who they could be. There were many Supreme Great Ancestors in the prefecture, so much so that it was like never before. That being said, every single one of them was an incredibly rare figure. In particular, those who were in the Extreme Grade were also familiar with each other, thus they were in disbelief when a total of 3 unknown Supreme Great Ancestors appeared out of nowhere.

Elder Universe looked at the people and uttered, “Please get Her Royal Highness, Lil’ Friend Ou, and He Liangce!”
