Chapter 777: The Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool was quite far away from the Kingdom of the Nine States.

The Kingdom of the Nine States was located in the eastern region of the Tai Chu Continent, to the north of which was the Holy Glacial Lands.

To the west of the Holy Glacial Lands was the Opposite Shore Realm, and further to the west of the Opposite Shore Realm was the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool.

That place was known as a polluted land, and it was also where the beast tribes gathered.

The beast tribe inhabitants there were generally extremely violent and ferocious, and battles would erupt over the smallest of altercations. Even cannibalism was not an uncommon spectacle there.

The Myriad Mountain Realm was like a children’s playground in comparison to the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool.

There had been some mighty figures who had theorized that the souls of the creatures born in that place were polluted from birth, thereby giving inherent flaws that made them so violent and bloodthirsty.

To theories like this, all the mighty figures of the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool told those theorizing mighty figures to go f*ck themselves!

They attributed all this to a culture of battle among the beast tribes!

Apparently, there was a large-scale debate many years ago about whether the spirit beasts there were good or evil at heart.

However, this type of debate obviously wouldn’t result in a definitive conclusion.

If you accused their souls of being flawed, then how would you explain the Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures in the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool? How could creatures with flawed souls perfect their dao realm and integrate their dao?

If you refused to subscribe to the opinion that their souls were flawed, you wouldn’t be able to find any creatures that were as cruel and violent as those in the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool. And this wasn’t just one or two tribes, this was the norm across all the beast tribes gathered at the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool, as if they were somehow all flawed at birth.

In this respect, they surpassed even the Void Spirit Tribe.

Nowadays, the ferocious beasts within the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool were even crazier. When they erupted into frenzies, they would even go as far as to kill themselves!

From an incomplete statistical survey, it could be determined that there had been more than ten million ferocious beasts that had killed themselves in the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool.

Many of the beast tribes were becoming more and more frenzied and violent, and their violence was beginning to take its toll on the surrounding powers near the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool.

The turmoil and unrest within the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool had forced even the Heavenly Court into action.

However, most of the Heavenly Court’s attention was still focused on the snow maidens, the Ant Tribe, the Blood Tribe, and the Dragon Tribe of the East Sea, and there weren’t many forces that they could spare to take care of matters within the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool, which was why a commission letter had been sent out.

An Lin looked at the commission letter in his hands and gathered all the pavilion lords as well as the elders of the sect to discuss the best course of action.

Everyone agreed that this job was one that they should take. On one hand, it would demonstrate the prowess of their sect to the world, and on the other hand, the sect really did need more money, which would be available to them in the form of remuneration if they managed to complete this mission.

Next, it was time to determine the roster for this trip.

“Big Brother An, I’m going to sit this one out. That place is really weird for us beasts, and I might become Super Violent Bai if I go there! Woof!” Da Bai placed a paw on the table and spoke in a nervous voice.

“Hehe, I’m getting interested now that you put it that way.” Xiao Ze chuckled.

“Classmate An Lin, the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool is so far away, how are you going to have time to complete this mission? School is about to start again soon,” Su Qianyun asked.

An Lin swept his hair back. “Heh, a real man should know his priorities and ditch school in order to forge a career!”

“Hehe, Classmate An Lin, I’ll be relaying your words to Vice-Principal Yu Hua, and he’ll make a decision on whether you can graduate or not.” Xuanyuan Cheng chuckled coldly, having clearly been enraged by An Lin’s words.

An Lin immediately backed down. “I was wrong, Big Brother Cheng! I’ll apply for some leave! Please let me off just this once…”

F*ck! He had been too hyped up lately and forgotten that class captain Big Brother Cheng was with him.

Announcing that he was going to ditch class in front of the class captain was akin to suicide.

If he actually tried to do so, Big Brother Cheng would probably toss him a nuclear bomb and blast him back to school!

“Don’t expect me to apply for leave for you. I’m also preparing to go back to my sect and go into seclusion. I’m not going back to school until I progress to the Soul Formation Stage!” Xuanyuan Cheng shook his head.

“An Lin, I want to come with you,” Xu Xiaolan announced with a smile.

“Huh? You’re all going? Then who’s going to apply for leave…” Su Qianyun turned to look at everyone, only to find that everyone was looking back at her. It was clear what their intentions were.

“Al… alright, I’ll try to apply for leave for you guys.”

Su Qianyun was not feeling up to the task. Not only did she have to apply for leave for three people at once, but all three of them were extremely important in their class. She really didn’t know how to even bring up the issue with their homeroom teacher.

Liu Qianhuan said, “I can’t be bothered going that far. I plan to stay behind and instruct those new disciples in my Sword Pavilion.”

Bai Ling: “There are some things I have to take care of in the Small Phoenix World, so I won’t go either.”

“Master, I want to come with you!” Xiao Ze was quite keen.

An Lin turned to him with a puzzled expression. “Don’t you have three new disciples as well? Are you just going to leave them?”

“Haha, I discovered that Bei Lian is quite knowledgeable about the Dragon Tribe, so I told her to teach the other two disciples for now!” Xiao Ze replied with a joyful expression.

Everyone: “…”

An Lin’s eyelids twitched. “So this is how you’re doing your job as their master?”

Getting one of his disciples to teach his other disciples? What a dodgy move!

“It’s just a temporary arrangement. I’ll make sure to teach them diligently once I’m back.

“Please, Master, I really am quite interested in the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool.”

Xiao Ze was raring to go.

The Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool was quite a dangerous place, and after a moment of thought, An Lin agreed to let Xiao Ze come along. After all, it would be a lot safer with a mighty figure like him on the team.

Little Lang also chose to stay behind to teach his disciples.

As for Tina, she had been feeling a little under the weather lately. Perhaps she was suffering from the after-effect of unleashing her divine techniques a while ago, or perhaps it was the after-effect from the changes that had taken place in the Divine Mirror World. In any case, she was not keen on battling and chose to remain at the Four Nine Immortal Sect as well as to help An Lin look after the phoenix egg.

Thus, the final team consisted of Xu Xiaolan, An Lin, and Xiao Ze.

Crack…

A spatial rift was torn open, and Xiao Ze led An Lin and Xu Xiaolan into the spatial passageway toward their destination.

Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool.

This was a peculiar landscape that was unpredictable and ever-changing.

Some places had clear, blue skies with an abundance of serene flora and fauna.

Some places were filled with toxic mist, with vital energy surging like dragons and danger at every turn. However, it was usually those places that were homes to astonishing treasures and opportunities.

In the sky above a small city on the border of the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool, a spatial rift was torn open.

An Lin, Xiao Ze, and Xu Xiaolan made their way out from the spatial rift before appearing in this city.

“Hey, the atmosphere isn’t bad here. At least the beasts here don’t look like complete savages!” An Lin looked around at the beasts walking around him with amazement on his face.

He had thought that the Sinister Spirit Beast Cesspool would be a completely lawless and unstructured place, where chaos reigned and countless battles constantly took place. However, the city he was situated in, at the very least, appeared to be quite an orderly place.

The beasts walking around him weren’t very large, and all of them coexisted relatively peacefully.

Boom!

Right at this moment, a resounding boom suddenly erupted about a hundred meters away.

The entire ground tremored slightly as a result.

An Lin turned to find a humanoid fox the size of a grown man had its foot stamped firmly onto the body of a brawny black tiger. There were massive cracks running through the ground around the black tiger, thereby indicating that the fox possessed immense strength.

“How dare you sell fake tiger skin to me? Are you sick of living?”

The fox waved the golden tiger skin in its hand as it let loose an enraged roar.

The black tiger trembled with fear. “Please spare me, Master Fox, I won’t do it again! I’ll replace that one with ten real tiger skins! Please spare me!”

“Hehe…” The fox chuckled coldly as a menacing aura began to exude from its body. “I think I’ll take your hide in the place of this fake one…”

Its sharp, saber-like claws plunged into the black tiger’s body as it spoke.

The blood-curdling cries of the black tiger reverberated throughout the entire street.

All the beasts on the street gathered around as spectators, and some of them even brought out snacks to eat as they chatted happily with one another. This was clearly a common occurrence the likes of which everyone was used to seeing.

Thus, the black tiger was skinned alive by the fox in an extremely gruesome scene.

The fox then swaggered away with the black tiger’s hide, to the delighted applause of countless beast onlookers.

“It looks like you spoke too soon,” Xu Xiaolan lamented.

An Lin massaged his brows and nodded. “It looks like I had indeed!”
