我家哥哥宠妹如命

Although the Penglai Immortal Beasts were intimidating, this intimidation didn’t last long. The beast horde was already somewhat restless.

Ye Xuan could feel a gaze that had been spying on him in the dark, and there was a kind of oppressive pressure. It must be the high-level demonic beast hiding behind the scenes.

Just as he had expected, another beast roar came from behind the beast tide, and the demonic beast army became restless again.

The Penglai Immortal Beasts also roared back, unwilling to be outdone.

“Roar!”

They had the bloodline of an Immortal Beast. Although they were not as strong as the dragon clan, they were still considered high-level demonic beasts. The suppression of their bloodline caused the beast horde to calm down again.

If there was only one Penglai Immortal Beast, the beast horde would not be affected much. But now, there were hundreds of them gathered together. Even if they were injured, the pressure they gave off could not be underestimated.

It was like a tug-of-war, and the beast horde had also entered a stalemate.

The tens of thousands of demonic beasts didn’t know whether to enter or not, so they simply stood in place without moving.

Shen Changling and the others had already known how powerful the Penglai Immortal Beasts were when they fought the skeletal dragon.

However, Yi Chengrui and the others were dumbfounded. They looked at the scene in front of them in a daze. Their eyes fell on Ye Xuan and Yi Chengrui stuttered, “El-Elder Ye, are all these demonic beasts yours?”

Ye Xuan nodded.

To be able to control the demonic beast army, according to the ranking of human cultivators, these demonic beasts were at least sky rank and above. Moreover, there were so many of them that they were almost surpassing some of the big sects.

And most importantly, demonic beasts were all unruly and naturally difficult to tame. However, Ye Xuan could actually make so many demonic beasts listen to him.

Yi Chengrui and the others couldn’t help but take a deep breath. What was Ye Xuan’s background?

Seeing that the beast horde could no longer advance, the high-level demonic beasts hidden behind the beast horde finally could not hold on any longer.

A low voice came from far away.

“You are also a demonic beast, why do you need to help these despicable humans?!”

It was evident that the demonic beast did not want to start a war with the Penglai Immortal Beasts unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, they belonged to the same race. If they fought against each other, it would be a joke to this group of humans.

“If you’re bound by a contract or forced by a lowly human, I can help you.”

It was obvious that this demonic beast had great malice towards humans, and Shen Changling couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Compared to their calmness, Yi Chengrui and the others were panicking. One of them stammered, “Demon-demonic beasts can talk!”

A demonic beast that could speak was already at the almighty level. They had never seen one before. There had always been rumors that there were great demons in the demonic beast forest, and now it seemed that it was true.

Shen Changling was already used to it. After all, he had seen a dragon before. Although it was only a skeleton, it was enough to shock the world.

What shocked Yi Chengrui and the others, even more, was what followed.

“What demonic beast? Don’t compare us to you lot. We’re different.”

“You!”

The Penglai Immortal Beasts had a bad temper and the demonic beast was speechless.

Yi Chengrui cried out involuntarily, “Elder Ye’s demonic beasts can actually speak!”

He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but after he said this, he felt those demonic beasts rolling their eyes.

Demonic beasts had to cultivate to a certain level before they could speak the human language. However, it was not easy for demonic beasts to cultivate, and they had to face the encirclement and suppression of humans. Thus, there were very few powerful demonic beasts in the world.

Even if there were, they were usually secluded in the mountains and rarely had contact with humans.

It was no wonder that Yi Chengrui and the others looked so surprised. They originally thought that only the demonic beast beside Ye Xuan was an exception, but they found that they could all speak.

Was the world a fantasy, or did they not see enough demonic beasts in their lives? To think that demonic beasts that could speak the human language were such a common sight.

The expressions of the people from Changping were all a little dazed. They looked comical and laughable. If it wasn’t for the fact that the occasion was not right, those who didn’t know would have thought that they were acting in a comedy.

There were only a few high-level demonic beasts controlling and commanding the beast horde, but the Penglai Immortal Beasts had so many mouths, that the high-level demonic beasts couldn’t win in the argument. In the end, the high-level demonic beast’s tone became angry from embarrassment.

“Do you really want to be our enemy? What magic potion did these humans give you that you actually want to help them?!”

“Not only did they destroy and trample on our homes, but we also tolerated them and gave up our living environment. However, the greedy humans were not satisfied and continued to mine the spirit stone mines without restraint. As a result, our habitat continued to shrink and deteriorate. We have no way to retreat!”

The demonic beast’s words made everyone unable to refute it. Even the Penglai Immortal Beasts were somewhat silent.

This was probably referring to the people in Changping who had been mining spirit stones without restraint. Originally, the mines could be regenerated, but the mines needed a certain amount of time to recuperate.

However, the greed of some sects that couldn’t wait for that long led to excessive mining. After these mines were exhausted and abandoned, they would produce a harmful substance, causing the nearby demonic beasts to no longer be able to survive, and they could only find another environment to create a nest.

After a long while, someone stammered and retorted, “Even so, you can’t kill innocent people. These days, countless cultivators have died under the claws of demonic beasts. Those disciples near the mines were also killed by you all, right?”

It would have been better if he hadn’t said this. The moment he said this, the demonic beast behind the scenes rage soared even higher. Ye Xuan and the others could sense that it was gritting its teeth.

“We demonic beasts are innocent! How many of our fellow beasts have died at the hands of you human cultivators?”

Everyone fell silent.
