Chapter 2887: Deliberate Revenge

During Qiong Qi's release of the ferocious beasts, the Elder guarding this place also repeatedly probed with Divine Sense.

But the Illusion Array set by Qiong Qi made this place appear as if all the ferocious beasts were sleeping and cultivating, so the Elders noticed no anomaly; after scanning the area, they went back to their own cultivation.

Qiong Qi quickly released all the ferocious beasts here. Only one Huo Hu remained. Huo Hu was already repeatedly bowing to Qiong Qi within the Formation, hoping Qiong Qi would release it as well.

Only then did Qiong Qi communicate with it: "Do you know you were wrong?"

"Yes, I was wrong, I acknowledge a master, please let me out!" Huo Hu pleaded. Its previous arrogance had vanished.

Now all the ferocious beasts have been released one after another, leaving only it; can it not be anxious?

Only then did Qiong Qi smile and have it sign a master‑recognition contract, pulling it into the Space World. Qiong Qi's Space World is large enough, containing several Xingqiu, and the beasts were quite satisfied.

"You've rested enough; it's time to go out and hunt! The Wan Jia Elders and disciples have abused you, so you should take revenge for yourselves!" Qiong Qi stirred their emotions.

"Roar!" The ferocious beasts let out a simultaneous angry roar; regardless of their realms, they were eager to act.

Wan Jia's torment had long seeded hatred in them. Now gathered together, their strength is great, and they intend to exact a fierce revenge.

Qiong Qi laughed heartily, released them, then removed the Illusion Array, letting them charge at the Wan Jia Elders and disciples.

The beasts, seething with anger, each stared at the enemies with blood‑red eyes and lunged to tear them apart.

The few Wan Jia strongmen stationed here were already few in number and of lower realms, and with Qiong Qi commanding, none escaped; all were torn apart and devoured by the beasts.

"Keep killing with me; everyone will be full!" Qiong Qi called out, leading the beasts to rush toward the nearest herb garden.

"It's really going smoothly!" Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil, from afar, saw the massive horde of beasts charging.

The strongmen guarding the herb field, feeling the beasts' oppressive aura, immediately led all their disciples forward, fearing the field would be destroyed, and simultaneously called for Wan Jia's aid.

Ye Liuyun took advantage of the herb field guards' battle, rushed in and began plundering the herbal ingredients. Even when encountering low‑realm guards, he could easily dispatch them.

Qiong Qi, with the beasts, slaughtered Wan Jia's strongmen; after the slaughter was nearly done, he reminded Ye Liuyun: "We can leave soon."

By now Ye Liuyun had already gathered the highest‑grade herbal ingredients from several herb fields into the Space World, so he no longer lingered, and met up with Qiong Qi to collect flames.

When they arrived at the Dan Hall where their clone was, the clone also joined them, and they charged straight in. Ye Liuyun also released Li Daoyuan to join the fight.

These thousands of beasts mean that even Wan Jia cannot muster enough strongmen at once to respond, and sending reinforcements in batches is almost a death sentence.

Thus Wan Jia has now activated the Defense Array, while gathering Martial Cultivators, preparing to strike together.

The Dan Hall, lacking reinforcements, was quickly taken by Ye Liuyun's group. Not only were the stored elixirs seized, but even the flame source was taken, to be slowly absorbed later.

Qiong Qi immediately led the beast herd, galloping without pause toward another flame source.

In half a day, the three key flame sources, herb fields, beast‑taming base of Wan Jia, two Dan Halls, and one Artifact Hall were plundered clean. He and his clone also seized many alchemy and artifact masters.

The beasts had also eaten and drunk their fill, venting their anger toward Wan Jia. Only then did Qiong Qi gather the beasts back, returning to discuss with Tang Xie, An Ran, and Zhou Xiang how to acquire other resources.

Ye Liuyun also pulled the others into the Space World, donned the Invisibility Cloak, and fled at full speed from Wan Jia's controlled area, fearing they would block Xingkong again.

Until they withdrew, Wan Jia still lacked enough people to confront them. This chaos left Wan Jia with no mind to attend to other Xingqiu, and they immediately began to consolidate forces, investigate the beasts' whereabouts, and seek the cause of the uprising.

Originally the beasts were fine within the Formation, but suddenly they all fled, leading Wan Jia's Elders to think someone deliberately sabotaged it.

However, the Elders and disciples stationed at the beast base were all slaughtered, leaving no one to question; they could only search for relevant information. But when they discovered…

After Wan Cong Shan sent a fire qilin in, they realized someone had taken control of Wan Cong Shan, deliberately targeting Wan Jia.

"This is not the beasts' revenge, but retaliation from those who seized the Xingqiu, who learned we were tracking them and are now striking back at Wan Jia!" The Wan Jia Elders began to discuss the matter cautiously.

"The enemy hides in darkness, we stand in the light. This time has caused us great loss, uprooting our foundations! Moreover, they now have thousands more beasts, adding wings to a tiger!" a Elder shook his head in worry.

Another Elder asked skeptically: "If those people are retaliating, it's probably not just against our family, right? Should we warn other families so we can recover our losses?"

Another Elder retorted: "Even if those families could capture those people, they wouldn't return our resources. Wan Jia's flame sources and herbal ingredients have long been coveted by them. When they finally get a chance to claim them, they won't let it slip."

Finally, the Wan Jia Clan Chief decided not to inform other families for now, but to send strongmen to lie in wait near their vital resources, ready to seize them back.

They dispatched to each family's treasure site one Tier‑2 elite and a hundred Tier‑1 Martial Cultivators, hiding in the shadows, waiting for Ye Liuyun's group to act first.

"First rush to the Zhou family! Their combat power is the weakest, making it easy for us to strike!" Qiong Qi, having clarified the situation, gave Ye Liuyun the suggestion.

Ye Liuyun did not hesitate, deploying the Spirit Cat Warship, and sped toward the planet where the Zhou family resides.

The Zhou family's location is the most remote among the four families. Though their combat strength is the weakest, their Divine Soul Power is the strongest, so no one dares to provoke them lightly.

Zhou Xiang knows the Secret Realm's control lies with their Grand Elder, making it easier for Ye Liuyun's group to seize the resources completely and continue using them. As for Tang Xie and An Ran, they do not know who holds the important Secret Realms, so they can only postpone.

Moreover, letting Ye Liuyun first boost his Divine Soul Power will make it easier for him to control other families' strongmen later, eliminating the need for the beasts to launch heavy attacks and reducing losses.
