The sounds of rumbling and pounding gradually clearer as they get closer to the source, Lory give Yang Xi Ying a questioning look but Yang Xi Ying only giggled, but Lory didn't have to wait to long because he saw a giant beast who looked like a combination between a bull and tiger, roaring in madness.

The beast was trapped inside the array which created a transparent array but is not just a normal array, Lory could feel electric sparks within the array and every time the beast hit the transparent barrier the creature would electrocute, and the beast will jolt and squeal in pained but then a second later he will hit the barrier again and again until it furs burnt to black. From afar Lory could smell the burning smell from the beast, it smelled like a burned rotten meat.

​​

Bei Li Yan, Jin Hao, and his close assistant Yuan Xue An along with other Hei Shen members and Jiu Yun sect members watching the mad beast injured itself. Li Mo Zhen furrowed his eyebrows as he watches the beast anxiously not because he worries the array couldn't stand the beast but he worries the beast will be dead before they could conduct the experiment.

Li Mo Zhen notices Wu san Bo's arrival and he looked at him with relived "You better do it now before this creature dead" he worriedly said.

"What are we doing?" Lory asked in confusion.

"To test the weapon" Wu San Bo waved the dagger in his hand, then he raised his hand in the air and five men with dark grey uniform swiftly circled around the array, Wu San Bo give a hand sign to start then the five men make intricated moves with their hands and suddenly the spark inside the array becomes more visible, and the current seems like hitting each other.

The Beast could feel the danger but the beast didn't cower instead become more enraged and hit the barrier aggressively, meanwhile, the spark within the array becomes more visible and it started to strike the beast repeatedly, the beast tries to dodged but in the small caged of array his movement was futile, more electric spark stun the creature over and over again until the beast jolted and fall to the ground.

Wu San Bo approaches the beast carcass with the long dagger in his hand, not long after a creature-like leech came out from the dead beast's ear. Lory and Girsha narrowed their eyes when they saw the parasite beast.

The Parasite twitched and slither onto the ground while Wu san Bo squatted on the ground, Lory watched Wu San Bo worriedly, as she feared the parasite could feel a healthy host nearby, the creature suddenly jumped towards Wu San Bo.

"San Bo!" Lory scream.

"Master Wu!" Everyone scream in fright, luckily Wu san Bo is quite agile, with his dagger he slices the parasite in two.

'Plop' the parasite fall to the ground and few second later disappear into black smoke.

Everyone was stunned including Lory and Girsha 'WHAT THE HEL*!'

Unbeknownst to everyone, the surface of the dagger shone slightly, because it happened to fast no one realized it not even Lory but she could feel a familiar vibe hit her and her heart suddenly thumped as a gentle warm breeze enveloped her heart like a warm blanket in the winter.

[Do you feel it, old bird?] Lory froze silently.

[Yes…..but it's very weak] Girsha muttered.

[It's from the dagger, why can't I feel it before…] Lory stare at the dagger on Wu san Bo's hand confusedly.

[Perhaps it reacted after it got contact with the demon parasite…] Girsha was not sure either but this is the only theory that would make sense.

[Should we try again?] Lory bites her lips, her eyes glint impatiently.

[You see anymore hybrid beast around here?] Girsha sarcastically asked.

[Should we look?] Lory turned the question.

[It's a good idea, but I don't know what your man would say. remember your husband?] Girsha reminds her about her worrywart husband.

Lory massaged her temple [Yeaaah... I forget about that] she clicked her tongue exasperatedly.

Meanwhile, Everone got excited after the experiment turns out to be a success. Shin Jiu who also present also got excited, he hated the hybrid beast the moment he saw it, for him the hybrid beast is a deviation from the beast supposed to be. Shin Jiu can't even relate the hybrid beast with any normal beast even the worst normal beast is still better than the Hybrid beast.

As the 'blessed child' he could feel the connection between him and the beast around him without the need for a contract, he could feel their pained, anger, joy, and anxiety, Shin Jiu then use his ability to calmed the beast and make them feel safe around him, but Hybrid beast is different, when he face to face with it he can't feel anything, no hatred, pain or excitement.

As if he falls into the deep of abyss, nothing he could feel but emptiness and darkness. Shin Jiu never felt anything close like that, it make him terrified even his three celestial Beast who always stay with him also show their strong hostility to the Hybrid Beast is like the hybrid beast is not part of their kin, even they could feel that the Hybrid beast is an aberration.

"Master are you okay?" Shin Jiu saw Lory was immersed in her thought.

Lory snaps out of her thought, then she saw the little boy's eyes stare at her worriedly "Of course, I'm fine….by the way, you sill have the stone amulet that I give you?"

"Yes, master," said I cannot take it off" Shin Jiu show the necklace behind his collar.

It's the same protective amulet from the curse that Lory gave to Ming Yue Yin and the others, since they all involved with dark magic and Lazarus she needs to make sure they all safe from it, she will increase the protective amulet later after she gains more trinity fragments.

Lory stroked Shin Jiu's head "Good, make sure it never left you, at all cost" she warned the little boy again.

"Yes, master" he nodded obediently.

Lory walks toward Wu San Bo who was gathered with everyone to discuss their next plan.

"We should start to produce more weapons with this new material," said Wu san Bo excitedly.

"I will send this new to all of our allies, but do we have enough material?" Bei Li Yan shows his concern.

Wu San Bo sighed heavily "Unfortunately, we can only make two to three hundred swords from it…"

"That's not enough if we encounter beast tide" Jin Hao pinched his glabella with a frown.

"Beast tide is our worst situation but it's not certain yet, why don't we stop the possibility before it occurs?" Li Mo Zhen smile cunningly

"What do you mean?" Bei Li Yan asked.

"We remove the grass before it could grow…" said Li Mo Zhen.

Jin Hao rubbed his lips while nodding "We attack everyone who works for Lao Min Na, and every place that breeds the hybrid Beast, naturally it would weaken their power"

"I already have a list of people that have a relation with Lao Min Na, it's not complete yet…but it's a good start" Bei Li Yan got excited as well.

"But we must prepare for Lao Min Na retaliation too since we poke the hornet nest" Yang Xi Ying add-in.

"True, she is a vengeful woman after all…" Li Mo Zhen agrees with his wife.

"Sounds like we already got a plan" Lory chimed in, she smiled brightly with Shin Jiu walk next to her.

"Young Madam" they all greeted Lory in tunes.

"I'm sorry we talk before you…" Wu San Bo shows his regret.

Lory waved her hand "No – no, it's a good plan, I agree with all of you, make sure Zhao Li Xin know about this and send me the detailed plan I will talk about this with Zhao Li Xin"

"Yes, young madam!" they saluted in tuned.

They gratified that Lory becomes more like the vice sect leader, she could make a swift decision when Zhao Li Xin unable to attend, Lory was decisive, clear-headed, calm and farsight, for them Lory is as good as Zhao Li Xin the only difference is Zhao Li Xin method was more vicious and cruel whereas Lory was more subtle, she will not hurt anyone if is not necessary. The two of them cannot be more different but they respected each other decisions and gave utmost trust to one another that's why Lory and Zhao Li Xin could work harmoniously.

"Oh yes, I have questions" Lory raised her hands like a good student "Firstly, where do you get the material?"

"Is on the north island, Jiang Jin Wei was there to harvest the material as we speak" Wu San bo explained.

"Is it far?"

"Not really madam, it took three days with the ship to reach the island," Wu San Bo said again.

"O – kay" Lory nodded she calculated her option then she raised her head again "How long it would take for you to make a sword for me with this material?"

"Uhm…if it's for young madam, I think Milord will want to forge the weapon for you personally" Wu San Bo has long noticed how much Zhao Li Xin pampered Lory.

Lory shook her head "But, Zhao Li Xin is too busy, I don't think he would have time for this, so why don't you do it for me, I inform Zhao Li Xin later"

Wu san bo calculated with his fingers then say: "Two days then…"

"Two days…sure, then when we will attack the hybrid beast nest?" Lory raised another question.

"Uhm soon?" Wu San Bo shifted his glance to Bei Li Yan for confirmation since Bei Li Yan got the list.

"Yeah, it will be as soon as possible" Bei Li Yan nodded.

Lory snapped her finger "Then I will come with you!"

"!!!!"
