It was then that Huang Ting received a message via the spirit talisman and immediately checked it.
"It’s from Senior Brother Zuo." After checking, Huang Ting informed them, "Senior Brother Zuo seems to have found a hidden Pocket World and instructed me to bring the Melting Furnace over."
Taishi Hen was quite surprised: "A Pocket World?"
Huang Ting nodded: "It’s said to be abundant with high-level spirit plants and materials, but there also seem to be tracks of disciples from Taishang, True Yang, and other sects."
Taishi Hen chuckled: "Oh? Since there’s something good, Junior Brother Zuo, shall we head over there together?"
"Alright."
The Demon Soul, after a brief contemplation, agreed. If they could find some treasures like fifth-level materials, they could find a way to transfer them to the main body later.
Huang Ting used the talisman given by Zuo Quanqing to control the Hundred Beasts Tripod. After a trembling, it shrank to the size of a palm and fell into his hand.
Subsequently, Huang Ting put away the Hundred Beasts Tripod and led everyone to fly up to rendezvous with Zuo Quanqing.
Before long, they passed through a valley tunnel between two giant peaks. After journeying for a while, their view suddenly opened up, leading them into a forest where Star Power was more concentrated.
The group flew for a while longer and soon saw Zuo Quanqing standing on a large stone not far away.
This person had a tall and sturdy build, narrow eyes, a high nose, and thin lips, exuding a sense of rebellious arrogance.
"Senior Brother Zuo!"
"You’re here... Oh, Junior Brother Taishi and Junior Brother Qin are here too?" Zuo Quanqing’s gaze fell on the Demon Soul and Taishi Hen.
The Demon Soul and the other person immediately saluted: "Senior Brother Zuo."
Zuo Quanqing’s lips curled up, and he slightly nodded. He then raised a hand, causing the Hundred Beasts Tripod in Huang Ting’s hand to suddenly fly up and land on the ground in front of him.
Just by a brief inspection, Zuo Quanqing immediately noticed a few more Radiant Moon Star Beasts inside, and they were of types that the tripod didn’t previously contain.
Zuo Quanqing’s eyes brightened: "Not bad, did Junior Brother Taishi and you catch this Cloud Flood Dragon and Fierce Sun Divine Eagle?"
Taishi Hen bowed and smiled: "Yes, Qin Junior Brother and I captured them."
Zuo Quanqing glanced at the two and grinned: "Very good, rest assured, you both will receive your rewards."
Zuo Quanqing would provide sect contribution points equivalent to the value of two Star Cores for a living Radiant Moon Star Beast!
If it’s a Star Beast that the Hundred Beasts Tripod didn’t originally contain, the price would double!
This is why disciples of the All Demon Heavenly Palace were willing to help him capture Star Beasts.
Taishi Hen chuckled: "Then, thank you, Senior Brother Zuo."
Zuo Quanqing waved his hand and then took out a Beast Taming Talisman, releasing many severely wounded Star Beasts. Upon counting, there were more than a dozen!
Then, Zuo Quanqing raised his hand to form a Seal Technique, causing the green qi in the Hundred Beasts Tripod to surge out again and sweep these Star Beasts away.
Huang Ting was quite astonished and said: "A One-legged Heavenly Bull and Tan Mountain Ghost, even such incredibly rare Star Beasts are here!"
Zuo Quanqing laughed heartily: "This Ancient World Fragment is indeed a treasured land, with endless strange and exotic beasts!"
Huang Ting nodded, yet suddenly saw something else.
"Is this... an Ink Qilin? Even in ancient times, it was extremely rare!"
"Ink Qilin?"
The Demon Soul, who had been observing the surroundings of this Pocket World, immediately turned his head and saw a Bloodied Ink Qilin among the many heavily injured Star Beasts, being absorbed into the Hundred Beasts Tripod.
This Ink Qilin had more than half of its scales shattered, one of its Qilin horns broken, its entire body was bloody and battered, almost unrecognizable!
But the Demon Soul recognized it at a glance...
"Mo Fei?!" The Demon Soul was shocked.
He never expected Mo Fei to appear here and be captured by Zuo Quanqing as material for the Hundred Beasts Tripod!
The Star Power in the Demon Soul’s body suddenly accelerated as he watched Mo Fei being swept into the Hundred Beasts Tripod, instinctively he was about to intercept.
But in just an instant, as his mind rapidly turned, he immediately restrained himself.
"If I act now, I absolutely can’t save Mo Fei..."
The Demon Soul’s eyes flickered, not to mention Zuo Quanqing, even Huang Ting and Taishi Hen were very powerful.
If he were to ask Zuo Quanqing for Mo Fei, it would be difficult to come up with a reasonable excuse in a short period.
Moreover, Zuo Quanqing’s selfishness and overbearing nature would certainly not let Mo Fei go; this would only arouse suspicion.
However, to fully refine the Star Beast’s Strength with the Hundred Beasts Tripod takes time, usually three to four days.
It’s not the right time to act now; there’s still some time to wait for a better opportunity...
The Demon Soul contemplated secretly, knowing Zuo Quanqing was immensely strong. If all else failed, he’d have to risk everything with the Burial Sun technique.
Watching Mo Fei, unconscious, being pulled into the Hundred Beasts Tripod, the Demon Soul’s eyes unknowingly began showing a trace of coldness.
"Since Mo Fei is here, his main body should be as well. There’s almost no sense of it now, so the main body must be far away..." the Demon Soul thought quickly.
"Junior Brother Qin, what’s wrong?" Taishi Hen’s voice came beside him, rather surprised, "The Star Power in your body seems a bit unstable?"
The Demon Soul glanced at him, chuckling softly: "Senior Brother must have sensed wrong."
"Is that so..." Taishi Hen scratched his head, laughing.
By this time, Zuo Quanqing had already absorbed all the Star Beasts into the Hundred Beasts Tripod, turned around and said to everyone: "Since we’ve arrived at this treasure trove, let’s each act on our own.
Additionally, if you meet any Taishang Sect members, and if the opportunity is right... kill if you can!"
"Yes, Senior Brother!"
Zuo Quanqing glanced at Taishi Hen and the Demon Soul, then flew away decisively.
And the remaining people, either alone or in groups, also dispersed and left.
Taishi Hen approached the Demon Soul and said: "Junior Brother Qin, shall we go too?"
The Demon Soul smiled: "Senior Brother Taishi, with so many exotic beasts and treasures here, it’s more efficient if we search separately."
"Aren’t you worried about running into Taishang Sect members or other powerful ones?"
"Even if we encounter them, as long as they aren’t Core Disciple level, it shouldn’t be difficult for Senior Brother to handle them, right? As for me... no need for Senior Brother to worry, I prefer to act alone."
Taishi Hen pursed his lips: "Alright then, Junior Brother, be careful, and contact me immediately if anything happens."
"Okay."
The Demon Soul responded, then leaped deeper into the area.
"Good intentions mistaken for a donkey’s liver and lungs~" Taishi Hen shook his head, glanced in the Demon Soul’s direction, and then also set out on his own...
