130: Chapter 130 Protecting the Master

"Qi Lian, as long as you announce your withdrawal from Dongcheng City, we will let you go immediately, and we can even give you a drop of Ancestral Spirit Blood."

"Right, just leave Dongcheng City. Why make things difficult for yourself? Is it that comfortable being a dog for those people?"

"Qi Lian, don't make the wrong choice!"

... ...

... ...

Three hundred li north of Dongcheng City lay a city completely overrun by Disaster Beast.

One of the Disaster Beast Nests was located right here.

This place was not too far from the Imperial Capital.

Countless Psionic Armor Adepts and Ability Users from the Imperial Capital were constantly guarding against the spread of this Nest.

At this moment, a young girl who looked no more than eighteen or nineteen stood amidst a group of Disaster Beast that had also taken human form.

She was bound by something massive that resembled a Formation, unable to move an inch.

When Fang Xun saw Qi Lian yesterday, he only felt she was a bit strange and didn't think much of it.

He didn't know that Qi Lian's true body was not there; the Qi Lian from yesterday was merely a Remnant Beasts disguised as her.

As for why Qi Lian appeared here, that is a long story.

"What, you think that person will come to save you? He doesn't even know you've left Dongcheng City."

A Disaster Beast, appearing as a little boy of about seven or eight, burst into laughter:

"Who do you think was by your good brother's side yesterday?"

Qi Lian's expression had remained unchanged until she heard this; only then did a hint of unhappiness show on her face.

"You can't fool Brother. " Qi Lian stated confidently.

"Is that so?

That person seems to be able to easily charm any beauty recognized as such by humans.

The only reason you could charm him is because of this skin, right?"

"No."

Qi Lian shook her head.

"Hmph."

A Disaster Beast snorted coldly: "Stop the nonsense and tell us if you agree or not!"

The Disaster Beast immediately clenched its fist, and immense pressure and restraint instantly emanated from the Formation.

Qi Lian couldn't bear it. Her legs beneath her skirt violently pressed down, and she actually reverted to her true Disaster Beast form.

Countless pink tentacles stretched out from under her skirt; they were soft yet possessed great strength.

These tentacles supported Qi Lian's body, preventing her from being crushed directly.

Seeing Qi Lian reveal part of her true form, the little boy-like Disaster Beast immediately laughed:

"Ha, I wonder if he will still treat you the same when he sees you like this?"

"Brother will."

Qi Lian recalled the way Fang Xun held her tentacles, and a faint smile curved the corner of her mouth.

"Arrogant!"

The figure clenched his fist and pressed down heavily. The Formation's Qi surged, and the pressure increased again.

This time, Qi Lian finally couldn't hold on. Her clothes ripped, and her true body burst forth.

Her form gradually swelled, getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

Finally, she transformed into a Disaster Beast resembling a one-eyed octopus, about two stories tall.

The huge, dark gold single eye occupied almost its entire head. It slowly rotated to look at the figures nearby, but its eyes still held a smile.

At this moment, the Formation was cracking inch by inch.

Clearly, it could not suppress the power of Qi Lian's complete form.

"It seems we need to teach you a real lesson."

The crowd exchanged glances, and their forms changed one after another.

Disaster Beast resembling towering buildings began to appear. In just a moment, over a dozen Disaster Beast, the weakest of which was A-Rank Sub-level, appeared here.

The ferocious aura spread, causing disaster warnings to sound even in the Imperial Capital hundreds of li away.

The level of this warning even surpassed that of a typical Beast Tide disaster.

Likewise, Dongcheng City also detected this unusual fluctuation.

However, Lu Li, who was currently advising Fang Xun to ride the Emperor Steed, quickly sent out a message and smoothed over this non-existent disturbance.

Just as those dozen or so Disaster Beast were about to attack Qi Lian, a fortuitous cloud streaked across the sky.

This cloud head arrived above the group of Disaster Beast and slowly stopped.

A figure wearing a Phoenix Winged Purple-Gold Crown, clad in Chainmail Gold Armor, and stepping on Cloud-Stepping Lotus Silk Boots slowly descended from the cloud.

The Great Sage descended.

Before he could even speak, the Disaster Beast immediately retreated.

His legends were too numerous; the one that terrified them the most was the battle against the Taotie outside Dongcheng City.

That couldn't even be called a battle; it was just a one-sided slaughter.

And they might not even be stronger than the Taotie.

That staff was truly heaven-reaching.

The Disaster Beast exchanged glances, knowing this matter was impossible.

"Retreat."

A single voice commanded, and the others responded.

In an instant, all the Disaster Beast scattered and fled.

Watching the fleeing Disaster Beast, the Great Sage turned around after a moment.

Squeak squeak squeak— — —

'Young Miss, why didn't you just let me call him over? He's so idle, and besides, he didn't even notice that Young Miss wasn't the Young Miss anymore.'

'Brother is always careless; it's not his fault. Moreover, I have Brother's blood in me. If I were truly in danger, Brother would definitely come.'

Qi Lian no longer possessed human vocal organs and could only emit a series of muffled sounds.

But this did not affect communication between the Disaster Beast.

'Young Miss, you will suffer losses like this.'

Just as the Great Sage was about to say something more, a transparent figure slowly walked out from the ruins below.

"I really thought it was that person. Turns out, it's just a Little Mouse wearing someone else's clothes."

His form changed, and gradually, the image of a middle-aged man slowly appeared.

This was his mimicry ability, and it was the confidence that allowed him to stay behind.

It was fortunate he stayed; this was truly a pleasant surprise.

Those trash, upon seeing that person's shadow, didn't even dare to try and ran away immediately. What idiots.

"It seems you are truly unwilling to be obedient. We'll lock you up for a few days first to intimidate those fence-sitters."

With that, his figure rapidly grew, instantly transforming into a massive Disaster Beast the size of a dozen-story building.

One of his legs was even larger than Qi Lian's entire body.

The Flower Branch Rat, wearing the great sage armor, rushed forward upon seeing the massive body.

The Disaster Beast looked at the figure that was now like an ant and felt a strange sense of exhilaration in its heart.

This armor that terrified the Disaster Beast would now be destroyed by its hands?

It swept its sharp claws, and its several-meter-long sharp nails were about to slash across the armor.

But just then, a thick, pink tentacle intercepted the sharp claw, while another tentacle pulled the armor back, shielding it behind.

'This is Brother's thing.'

'How bold.'

The Disaster Beast let out a ferocious roar, exerted force with its claws, directly crushing the tentacle Qi Lian extended into several segments and casually tossed them onto the ground, kicking up large clouds of dust.

'We'll wait until we lock you up and properly discipline you. Your Bloodline is truly suitable for use as a new Nest. I really look forward to it. We will also let you watch firsthand how your dear brother is tricked around by the substitute we find for you.'

Saying this, the Disaster Beast swung its sharp claws at Qi Lian again.

At its summons, the other dozen or so fleeing Disaster Beast also returned.

Qi Lian.

Nowhere left to run.

'Accept reality, poor little thing.'

Suddenly.

Boom——————

"What gibberish are you chattering about?"
