Chapter 2886

The Wan family's beast base is huge, scattered everywhere are beasts each confined by a Formation. They can see each other, but cannot touch, nor hear any sound.

The avatar scanned around and found that the number of beasts here was indeed large, numbering several thousand. Moreover, many were at the Gu Yi realm. Even some Gu Yi Second Layer beasts had three heads. With that strength, if Qiong Qi were to rouse them all, the Wan family would certainly be thrown into chaos.

Some disciples were also busy here, some delivering Spirit Stones to the beasts so they could cultivate and improve. The higher a beast's realm, the better its value as medicinal material. Therefore they still provide cultivation resources to the beasts.

Other disciples were using special devices to collect the beasts' blood for pill refining. The beasts, trapped by the Formation, could not move or resist, and could only stand while being taken advantage of.

A few disciples even sliced off organs from the beasts, then let them recover using True Essence.

Although the avatar could not hear the beasts' cries, seeing their pained expressions made it feel sorrow for them.

"Qiong Qi is rather honest, isn't he?" the Elder asked Wan Congshan while walking.

"Indeed! According to that Martial Cultivator, Qiong Qi has lived with humans since childhood, so it's already adapted and easily tamed!" Wan Congshan replied.

The Elder glanced at Qiong Qi, finding it truly docile, not the sort that's hard to tame. Still, he placed Qiong Qi into a Formation, not daring to leave it untethered outside.

"Can you still get out?" the avatar used Transmission Voice to ask Qiong Qi.

"Don't worry, this simple Formation can't trouble me. Just hide near a Dan Hall with flames and wait for me." Qiong Qi said.

The avatar gave no further reply, followed Wan Congshan, and was led out by the Elder.

The Elder was in good spirits, having obtained a rare beast; he recorded it for Wan Congshan and told him the points he should receive.

Seeing that his Token showed no flaw, Wan Congshan felt relieved, chatted briefly with the Elder, thanked him, and then left the beast base with Ye Liuyun's avatar.

After they walked away, Ye Liuyun pulled Wan Congshan into the Space World, so that he would not be taken by the Wan family.

Being seen by those who know him, and then rushed to a Dan Hall of the Wan family.

Several renowned Artifact Halls and Dan Halls of the Wan family are built on fire‑source sites, borrowing the flames for refining pills and artifacts. Qiong Qi had earlier asked Ye Liuyun to wait, indicating he had already planned to harvest the flames here.

After being confined by the Formation, Qiong Qi calmly observed the beasts here, secretly working to break the Formation. Yet many disciples were busy, making it inconvenient for him to act. Moreover, strong beings occasionally probed with Divine Sense, so he could not directly strike the working disciples; thus, after the Formation was broken, he patiently waited for a chance.

When dusk fell, the disciples gradually withdrew to rest. After Qiong Qi ensured everyone had left, he began to act. He didn't rush for a grand move; instead, he instantly formed a Seventh Layer Illusion Array at a distance, which blocked Divine Sense probing and muffled sound, enveloping the entire beast base.

At this point most beasts were already in cultivation mode, absorbing Spirit Stones and hastening the restoration of their power. Having been confined for a long time, they knew the base's patterns.

At first some beasts refused to increase their strength, not wanting to become tools of the Wan family, but even if they didn't cultivate, the Wan family would not spare them. Now most beasts have resigned, so none noticed his actions. He did not revert to human form, but simply let out a low roar.

The Formation that trapped the beasts could only block their sounds from escaping, not prevent sounds from entering their Formation. A sudden beast roar instantly drew all beasts' gazes toward him. Biquku

He swaggered out of his own Formation and walked toward the three Gu Yi Second Layer beasts.

The beasts looked at Qiong Qi in surprise, not knowing how it got out. After a pause, some roared at Qiong Qi, others emitted mournful cries, all demanding Qiong Qi release them. Yet the Formation's shield prevented their sounds from getting out.

Without hearing the sounds, Qiong Qi understood their meaning and let out a few low roars, telling the beasts not to worry; he would release them all.

The beasts

They immediately became excited, their eyes full of hope as they looked at Qiong Qi.

The three highest‑realm Gu Yi beasts also curiously looked at the approaching Qiong Qi.

Qiong Qi first communicated with a Huo Hu: "I will release all the beasts here, take revenge on the Wan family and seize their resources. If you are willing to recognize me as master, I will release you at once."

Huo Hu glanced at Qiong Qi's realm and thought his Sevenfold Sovereign level was far too low, feeling hesitant.

But Qiong Qi said nothing and went straight to communicate with the next beast.

These beasts, constrained by the Formation, could not connect with Qiong Qi unless he released his Divine Sense; thus they could only watch helplessly within the Formation.

Qiong Qi's next target was a metallic iron ox. It did not hesitate, immediately agreed, and Qiong Qi signed a contract with it, instantly breaking its Formation and releasing it.

When the iron ox emerged, it let out a massive roar, ran a lap around the base, and stretched its limbs. All the beasts envied it greatly.

Next came a silver‑scaled Linhu.

When Qiong Qi voiced his intention, the Linhu immediately understood; since Huo Hu did not agree to recognize him, Qiong Qi did not save it, whereas the iron ox had agreed, so it was freed at once.

Although the beasts have low spiritual intelligence, they are not foolish; they quickly realized that following Qiong Qi would not only restore their freedom but also avenge the Wan family's long‑term abuse. Thus the Linhu promptly agreed and was immediately released by Qiong Qi.

"Move quickly, prepare to annihilate those Wan family members!" Qiong Qi reminded it.

At that moment, Huo Hu was dumbfounded, frantically shouting at Qiong Qi, but its voice could not get out. Qiong Qi noticed its actions but ignored them, continuing to release the beasts one by one, letting each recognize him as master.

Afterward he temporarily pulled the released beasts into the Space World, allowing them to roam freely inside. After all, he had only set up an Illusion Array here; if too many beasts roamed, their aura or roars would arouse suspicion from the Elders outside.

Soon the Formations around Huo Hu were all empty, leaving Huo Hu alone inside, wailing, with no beasts paying it any heed. It became the opposite example of all beasts, displayed in the Formation.
