274: Chapter 274 Master, are you satisfied with this solution?

"Great Master, you may not be aware, but this hundred-zhang Ink Shadow Wolf is the guardian Divine Beast of the Demon Wind Sect. Its status is even more exalted than mine as Grand Elder, so how could I possibly control him?

However, having said that, any Spirit Beast looking to breed with our Demon Wind Sect's guardian Divine Beast has to wait several months. You've arrived at just the right time; it's equivalent to letting your Immortal Spirit Wolf cut the line for priority breeding. I'll waive the line-cutting fee, just pay the breeding fee!"

"Are you saying my Immortal Spirit Wolf was forced, and I still have to pay you?"

"Great Master, don't put it so harshly. The breeding fee isn't expensive, just 33 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones... Great Master, why are you vomiting blood!?"

Monk Qing Yi felt as if struck by lightning. His body gave a violent jolt, a sweetness rose in his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood! It stained his pristine white monk's robe a vivid crimson!

A metallic, blood-like stench surged into the air, permeating from the vivid crimson stain on the monk's chest!

"Great Master, are you alright? Why don't you pay the breeding fee first? In case you... Hey! Great Master!?"

Upon hearing the words "breeding fee," Monk Qing Yi instantly felt a sweetness in his throat again. He spat out three more mouthfuls of blood, his body convulsed violently, and he passed out on the spot!

Under the bewildered gazes of the Demon Wind Sect members, after screaming for three full hours beneath the Ink Shadow Wolf, the Immortal Spirit Wolf finally convulsed violently, foamed at the mouth, rolled its eyes back, and passed out on the spot!

Like a meteorite, the Immortal Spirit Wolf transformed into a streak of white light, tearing through the air and creating wisps of white smoke from friction, before smashing hard into the ground emitting Devilish Qi!

Boom! The Immortal Spirit Wolf smashed a hundred-zhang deep crater into the cold ground, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading from the bottom! A visible hundred-zhang shockwave, carrying clouds of dust, rippled outward like water!

Suddenly! A streak of red light flashed by, and the Immortal Spirit Wolf was picked up by the scruff of its neck like a pup, leaving several afterimages in the Void Realm as it flew toward the Demon Wind Sect!

...

Demon Spirit Realm, Demon Wind Sect, Main Peak Hall.

The afternoon sun filtered through the gaps in a century-old maple tree in front of the main hall, casting flickering spots of light onto the hall floor.

The cliff wind, carrying the warmth of the afternoon, continuously battered the hall's window curtains, making a "pa-pa!" sound of vibrating wood.

Seated on the holy throne of the main hall was a breathtakingly handsome Silver-haired Cultivator, displaying sixteen-pack abs and draped in a flaming red robe.

That's right! The Silver-haired Cultivator was none other than Jiang Lan!

Jiang Lan's brows were furrowed into a " river" shape at this moment. He supported his forehead with one hand, looking with a bewildered expression at the Immortal Spirit Wolf on the ground, which was foaming at the mouth and twitching uncontrollably.

On the guest seat of the main hall sat a blood-covered monk. The monk's mouth twitched slightly, his teeth gnashed with a clattering sound, and he "clack! clack!" rhythmically fingered a string of demonic black Buddhist beads.

The blood-covered monk was none other than Monk Qing Yi!

"This Divine Emperor told you to receive a guest, so how did it end up like this? Great Elder, is this how you treat This Divine Emperor's guest?"

Jiang Lan's eyes, like cold blades, glared fiercely at Great Elder, who was already trembling uncontrollably.

"Lord God Emperor, this subject knows his mistake!"

Thump! Great Elder knelt down, veins bulging on his forehead, and smashed his newly scabbed forehead hard against the golden nanmu wood floor of the hall. Warm blood mixed with bits of flesh instantly splattered all over Monk Qing Yi's face!

Monk Qing Yi's pupils constricted suddenly. He instantly felt a chill run down his spine, and cold sweat broke out on his back!

Monk Qing Yi usually kept company with Buddhist teachings, spending his days on behalf of the Buddha, using Buddhist dharma to "save" the charming young wives of fated families, helping them conceive offspring. Where had he ever seen such a bloody scene?

Monk Qing Yi's brain simply crashed; his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Half an incense stick later, Great Elder's eyes bulged. After smashing one last deep crater into the golden nanmu floor of the main hall, his body flipped over, and he passed out completely!

"Master Qing Yi!"

"Master Qing Yi?"

"Uh... Benefactor Jiang... No, Lord God Emperor, this poor monk has lost his composure."

"Hehe... Master Qing Yi, are you satisfied with this handling?"

Monk Qing Yi's face was splattered with warm blood and bits of flesh. The blood gathered together, wriggling wantonly across the monk's face like blood-colored earthworms, making one's hair stand on end and scalp tingle.

"Lord God Emperor, actually, Grand Elder didn't commit any fault; it's mainly this Ink Shadow Wolf!"

The hundred-zhang Ink Shadow Wolf was sitting upright on the guest seat of the main hall, tongue lolling out, the corners of its mouth curled slightly upward, revealing a set of bone-white teeth. With a gloating expression, it wagged its tail while looking at the unconscious Great Elder on the ground.

Suddenly! The Ink Shadow Wolf's body felt as if struck by lightning, and it stumbled, almost falling off the guest seat!

Damn it!? How did eating melon end up implicating me?

The Ink Shadow Wolf transformed into a black demonic shadow and began to flee rapidly toward the outside of the hall!

Jiang Lan suddenly exerted force with his feet, transforming into a streak of five-colored lightning, leaving several afterimages in the Void Realm, and caught up to the Ink Shadow Wolf in an instant.

Jiang Lan's arms were suddenly covered in earthworm-like protruding veins. With a single Xuantian Rock Fist, he directly smashed out a hundred-zhang-sized boulder crackling with electrical currents, slamming it hard into the body of the Ink Shadow Wolf!

Awooo! Crack! A blood-curdling scream mixed with the sound of shattering bones rang out suddenly. The Ink Shadow Wolf, like a cannonball fired from a chamber, transformed into a streak of black light and slammed fiercely into the rocks in front of the main hall!

After rolling several times upon landing, the Ink Shadow Wolf felt a sweetness in its throat, spat out a mouthful of black blood, twitched a few times, and passed out on the spot!

Jiang Lan twisted his neck from side to side and cracked his knuckles, producing a crisp sound of bone friction!

"Master Qing Yi, are you satisfied with this handling?"

"Master Qing Yi!?"

"Uh... Satisfied, very satisfied!"

"Since that's the case, settle the bill first, and then we can talk business!"

"Lord God Emperor, what bill!?"

"The 'breeding fee' of 33 million Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, of course? You wouldn't be thinking of getting a freebie, would you?"

"Lord God Emperor, my Immortal Spirit Wolf was forced, and most importantly, the Immortal Spirit Wolf is male!"

"Hiss~ That's a bit tricky. Is it really male?"

"Lord God Emperor, it really is male!"

Jiang Lan wore a bewildered expression. He pried open the Immortal Spirit Wolf's backside and looked for a long time, then supported his forehead with his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his brow.
