Chapter 589 Punishment of Sins

“This is the right place but...”

Yun Wanli looked around. The walls were plain and nothing else was there. He could not understand. If memory served him right, there should be legendary battle pet warriors guarding that strategic pass. The entrance to the Deep Caves in the Valiant Academy was located in the middle of the most important base city of the Subcontinent District!

That strategic pass right there was critical. Once the beasts got out, the consequences would be too horrifying to fathom. How come there were no legendary battle pet warriors present?

Su Ping closed his eyes for a few seconds before he announced, “I don’t sense other living creatures nearby.” “That’s not possible. It’s not a joke; I don’t think the Tower can ignore this place!” Yun Wanli had to disagree. Su Ping cast a look at him. “Do you not know what the Tower is like?”

Su Ping held little regard for the Tower ever since he paid them a visit and saw how the resident legendary battle pet warriors were experts at entertaining themselves.

The Tower had a legendary battle pet warrior guarding the doors when no one dared to create any trouble when visiting. However, there were no legendary battle pet warriors in the perilous Deep Caves. The more he thought about the Tower, the more disgusted he was.

Yun Wanli had sensed the ridicule in Su Ping’s answer. While looking around, Yun Wanli murmured, “No, no way. I know the Tower is corrupted but I don’t think they would ignore this place. The entire globe would be doomed if the beasts get out. Humans would see the end of the world!

“There must be... other reasons.”

Yun Wanli thought of the beasts that attacked them. Everything about that place was out of the ordinary.

All the creatures were at the beast king rank, and yet they were lurking in the passageways. If there were no legendary battle pet warriors to guard the fort, why didn’t the beast kings try to go above ground?

If those beast kings were ever on the loose, the Valiant Academy would soon be gone.

The entire Longyang Base City would be swiftly wiped out!

After all, the beast kings would easily destroy the entire Longyang Base City if they dashed out of the cave without any warning!

Su Ping frowned as he pondered about their situation. “I’m going in to find my sister. Sir, you can go back if you find it too dangerous. I don’t think I can cover you if we run into serious trouble.”

Yun Wanli came back to his senses. It was weird that a titled battle pet warrior would say cautionary words to a legendary battle pet warrior.

But Su Ping’s strength made it all make sense. Indeed, he would have to rely on Su Ping’s help in a dangerous situation.

“I’ll go with you since I’m already here, Fate Challenger Su. I’m an old man while you have nothing to be afraid of. Why would I?”

Yun Wanli smiled.

Su Ping commented, “I see that the Tower has a few members with integrity.”

“Huh.” Yun Wanli laughed a hollow laugh. He understood that Su Ping didn’t like the Tower in the slightest.

Su Ping then told the Inferno Dragon to lead them forward.

Su Ping felt something different as soon as they stepped into the tunnel. He could not describe it with words but things had changed.

It was as if he were inside of some dangerous creature’s lair.

Su Ping was worried; even the Tower was afraid of the Deep Caves. It continued to be an unsolved problem since the start of the astral pets’ era. It wouldn’t be strange to Su Ping for them to find creatures with Star Rank cultivation.

Yun Wanli, too, was concerned. He told the Cracking Rock Dragon to add more layers of crystals on him and Su Ping. The Inferno seemed unhappy when the crystals reached its body. Su Ping calmed the Inferno Dragon down to let the Cracking Rock Dragon do its work.

“Watch out. I feel something’s strange,” Su Ping alerted Yun Wanli. Having traveled in so many cultivation sites, he had encountered tens of thousands of beast kings; he was familiar with many rare skills. Something was off. It was just too quiet. There weren’t even any traces of wind.

He didn’t feel anything, not even the tiniest ant!

The Winged Wind Listener also reminded Yun Wanli, “Old Wan, be careful!”

That was enough to alert Yun Wanli. He merged with the Cracking Rock Dragon without hesitation. Soon, he turned into a human dragon that was several meters tall with a thick tail, claws as hands, and scales as skin.

The ground shook as soon as Yun Wanli finished the merging. Several dark, iron chains grew out from the ground.

Those iron chains were thick; they instantly entangled the Ghost Eye.

The Ghost Eye screamed and turned into mist in an attempt to break free. However, the Ghost Eye was still trapped even in mist form!

“Danger!”

The Winged Wind Listener let out a shrill cry and flew away, splitting into nine.

However, the next second, the black iron chains crushed all of the nine figures, and one of them was tied up.

The iron chains were so fast they disappeared as soon as they appeared and re-emerged by their target. The iron chains can teleport!

Yun Wanli was appalled. He placed his hands together and raised some dark crystal shields around him, trying to block the iron chains.

However, the iron chains vanished outside the crystal shields and emerged right inside, tying Yun Wanli up.

In a matter of seconds, Yun Wanli and his two battle pets were all entangled.

At the same time, more chains were reaching the Inferno Dragon and Su Ping. The iron chains had trapped the Inferno Dragon before it could do anything.

However, the Inferno Dragon unleashed violent flames, and the purple flames burnt off all the chains seizing it; some of the chains were melting

Su Ping stood still when the iron chains were reaching him. Next to him, the Little Skeleton wielded its bone blade and cut off those iron chains.

The ground shook as the Inferno Dragon broke free. Soon, a magnificent and ugly beast snuck out from the ground. The iron chains were actually part of its body. The beast’s trophy was made up of several pieces of flesh on which grew barbs.

“The Chained Ghost!”

Su Ping recognized the beast at once.

The Chained Ghost was a rare kind of beast king from the demon family. It would feed on advanced undead creatures and was a mortal enemy of the latter. The Locking Chains could contain many other kinds of pets.

However, those chains were not as effective when the target was something like the Inferno Dragon.

The Chained Ghost had a Fate State bloodline and it was said there was a small chance a Chained Ghost could evolve to become a Ghost Lord of the Star Rank, and even a... Pluto Emperor that only existed in legends!

This one should be at the Void State or thereabouts.

Su Ping had met similar beasts at the Chaotic Realm of the Undead. By checking the size and energy, he was able to tell that the Chained Ghost was not one at the prime state.

Beast kings like that needed more than time to grow to their ideal state. The beast king would require the proper environment and valuable resources. It would never be able to realize its bloodline’s full potential without those things.

“This is the entrance and we are already seeing such rare beast kings.” Su Ping was even more worried about the Deep Caves. At the same time, he wanted to capture that Chained Ghost.

It was a beast worth taming.

The Chained Ghost was rare, even among beast kings!

“Beast-catching ring!”

Whoosh!

Su Ping took out two black rings. Instead of throwing out the rings himself, he gave an order to the Little Skeleton.

The chance of success would be greater when the beast kings were badly wounded.

The Little Skeleton knew what it needed to do; it dashed out with precision and strength. A mass of darkness rose from its bone blade, giving it a complete cover.

One could mistake the Little Skeleton for a demon coming out from hell!

Bang!

The darkness enveloped the bone blade and the glaring ray of sword light reached the Chained Ghost’s head.

The Chained Ghost bellowed. Space was falling above its head; the Chained Ghost was going to crush the Little Skeleton.

However, the swirl froze in the next second. Even the Chained Ghost was frozen on the spot as if time would have been detained. On the other hand, the Little Skeleton was moving like usual. The cut landed on the Chained Ghost.

Punishment of Sins!

That was one of the Little Skeleton’s beast king skills.

The ray of sword light didn’t behead the Chained Ghost. Rather, the Chained Ghost was pushed to the ground as if a mountain were above its head; the skeleton was like a judge, condemning the Chained Ghost for its sins.

The ghost creature stopped moving; the Little Skeleton had isolated the Chained Ghost’s consciousness. The Chained Ghost and the Little Skeleton were the only two creatures in existence within that virtual world of consciousness; they stood, facing each other. The Little Skeleton abruptly grew bigger and soon became a Skeleton King that was the lord of the world.

It sat on the ground; the ground and the mountain were its throne.

It was the lord of the world!

The Chained Ghost was scared; it shouted in protest but the shout itself sounded more like a fearful whimpering. The Little Skeleton’s massive skeleton hand grabbed the Chained Ghost, covering its whole view.

The Chained Ghost was paralyzed with dread.

In reality, the Little Skeleton had put away its bone blade. The flames in its eye sockets disappeared, then cast a look at the paralyzed Chained Ghost and went back to Su Ping.

Even Su Ping was surprised to see that the Little Skeleton had been able to contain the Chained Ghost in one move. He had yet to check the Little Skeleton’s combat strength in reality. Su Ping had merely seen the number provided after the Little Skeleton absorbed the Skeleton King’s bloodline.

But that was just a number. He finally knew what the number meant.

“Go!”

Su Ping threw out the beast-catching ring.

The beast-catching ring landed on the Chained Ghost. A hole appeared in space, sucking in the Chained Ghost.

The hole disappeared after the Chained Ghost vanished. The ring went back to normal but there was something different about it.

Su Ping took the ring back.
