Chapter 428: The Behemoth in the Secret Room (Second update, requesting everything)

Because it had just been discovered, the area around the Treasure Pavilion was temporarily relatively quiet.

After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Li Changsheng began to sneak toward the residence of Cai Yangqian.

Possessing Instant Movement, Li Changsheng could easily avoid the patrols along the way; the entire process was almost no different from before.

Not long after, Li Changsheng snuck to the vicinity of Cai Yangqian's residence.

Cai Yangqian's residence faced south from the north and was located in the center of the Manor; it was also the most imposing building in the Cai Clan Manor.

At the entrance stood a pair of dragon and phoenix stone carvings two or three zhang high, and large red lanterns hung high, casting bright halos of light that illuminated the place as if it were broad daylight.

The place was heavily guarded, with Restrictions existing in some areas, and several night-patrol squads were patrolling back and forth nearby, not letting a single corner go unchecked.

Unfortunately, in Li Changsheng's eyes, these were completely unworthy of notice.

With just a single Instant Movement, Li Changsheng appeared in the garden inside the residence.

It was still the dead of winter, yet here it was colorful and blooming with a hundred flowers, creating a strong contrast compared to the desolate winter plum blossoms blooming in the snow outside.

At this moment, clamorous sounds also erupted from Cai Yangqian's residence; the people here clearly already knew that an outsider had broken into the Manor and naturally raised their guard.

Because his two sons had not yet married, Cai Yangqian had not yet separated from them and lived together in this residence.

Li Changsheng only knew what Cai Mingshao looked like, but he did not know the location of his room; however, given how much Cai Yangqian doted on Cai Mingshao, their living quarters were likely not far apart.

Soon, Li Changsheng snuck to the central area of the residence, where the defenses were clearly far superior to the outer perimeter, which could be described as having a post every three steps and a sentry every five; clearly, Cai Yangqian usually attached great importance to his own safety.

It was just that Cai Yangqian was not extravagant enough to have Monster Tamers stand guard.

Under such circumstances, Li Changsheng confidently and boldly released his Mental Power to begin scanning the surrounding environment.

From the feedback of his Mental Power, Li Changsheng discovered a large-scale Restriction that encompassed three rooms and the backyard.

If there were no surprises, these three rooms were likely the rooms of Cai Yangqian and his two sons.

Although Cai Yangqian was captured and Cai Mingshao was dead, they both had maidservants to serve them, so their rooms were all still lit.

Due to the Restriction, Li Changsheng did not know which one was Cai Mingshao's room, but according to common sense, the most imposing room was likely Cai Yangqian's room.

Li Changsheng thought for a moment; if he went to find Cai Mingshao first, it was highly likely he would be unable to avoid a fight, and the commotion caused would be too great.

Since that was the case, it would be better to go to Cai Yangqian's room first; perhaps there were surprises waiting for him there.

In a dark corner, Li Changsheng quietly waited for an opportunity.

The moment the patrol squad left, Li Changsheng moved immediately; his figure suddenly vanished, and he appeared directly in front of the most imposing room, pressing the Patriarch Token he held in his hand against the light film of the Restriction.

In an instant, the Restriction formed an oval-shaped portal, revealing an ajar wooden door.

Creak~

When opening the wooden door, the door made a creaking sound.

"The Master is back!"

At this time, a delicate female voice came from the room; judging by the sound, she did not seem very old.

Accompanied by light footsteps, a graceful figure began to walk toward this side.

Li Changsheng feigned composure as he entered the room, closing the door behind him.

As he entered the room, the Restriction, like flowing water, quickly returned to its original state.

Due to the Restriction, people outside naturally could not hear the sounds inside the room, which greatly ensured personal privacy while also masking Li Changsheng's movements.

It was also at this time that the woman walking toward this side saw Li Changsheng.

This woman was about twenty years old; her features were exquisite, her eyes were expressive, and she wore a tight-fitting light purple dress that fully accentuated her graceful figure.

Judging solely by her appearance, she was only a notch inferior to Ning Bizhen.

"You, you, you are not the Master, who are you?"

When she saw Li Changsheng, a look of panic could not help but appear on her face, and she subconsciously took two steps back.

Apart from her, there was no one else in this room.

"Who I am is not important; what is important is that I can take your life at any time!"

Li Changsheng tossed the token in his hand as if it were nothing; only then did the woman clearly see the Patriarch Token.

In an instant, the woman's face turned pale with fright!

Gulp~

The woman collapsed onto the floor, trembling with fear; she knew very well that this Patriarch Token was a symbol of Cai Yangqian's status, and even his own sons would not be lent it, let alone anyone else.

Now that it had reached Li Changsheng's hands, it meant that Cai Yangqian had likely already met with misfortune.

Li Changsheng looked down at the woman; this woman was also a Monster Tamer, but only of the Second Rank.

"I ask and you answer; if you cannot satisfy me, I will give you a quick death. Do you understand?"

"As long as you spare me, I will do anything you ask!"

The woman assumed a Pitiful posture, and while speaking, she deliberately pulled open the collar of her dress a little, revealing a patch of snow-white skin.

She was very skilled at displaying her charm and knew that most men liked this kind of suggestive feeling.

"Put away your little tricks!"

Li Changsheng's expression did not change; although this woman's charm was not bad, compared to Ning Bizhen, she was outclassed in every aspect—looks, figure, skin, and temperament.

"This is a lie-detecting treasure; as long as you lie, it will light up. If you lie, I can guarantee that you will not see tomorrow's Sun!"

Just like when he interrogated Caimingshu, Li Changsheng took out the Cangxuan Water-Stabilizing Pearl again to act as a lie-detecting tool.

The Cangxuan Water-Stabilizing Pearl floated slightly, emitting a water-blue halo.

"What is your relationship with Cai Yangqian?"

The woman hesitated for a moment before answering honestly: "I am the wife he newly took last year!"

Li Changsheng raised an eyebrow and continued to ask: "Which room does Cai Mingshao live in?"

"He lives in the room right next door to the left!"

Li Changsheng calmly took out the Book of Bloodlines Part One and asked: "Have you seen this book?"

The woman felt a bit familiar; she scratched her head, but no matter how she tried, she couldn't remember, so she had to answer honestly: "I have seen it!"

It was also at this moment that the woman revealed a panicked look, because the Cangxuan Water-Stabilizing Pearl suddenly lit up.

"You're lying!"

Li Zhangsheng shouted, his right hand gripping the woman's fragile neck, lifting her up with one hand.

The woman revealed a pained look; her hands grabbed Li Zhangsheng's right hand with force, but she could not pry it open at all.

"Ugh, no..."

The woman struggled, making babbling sounds from her mouth; because she was being gripped by Li Zhangsheng, she could not say a word of rebuttal.

Crack!

Li Zhangsheng exerted force with his right hand, snapping her neck directly.

The woman's corpse slumped softly onto the ground, her eyes still carrying confusion and unwillingness.

I really have seen it!

"Since you have seen this thing, then I cannot let you go even more!"

Li Zhangsheng rummaged through the woman's still-warm corpse for a while, took the storage necklace he found, and then took out a silk handkerchief to carefully wipe his right hand, so as not to leave the woman's scent of powder.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng projected his Mental Power, starting a carpet-like search.

"Huh?"

Li Zhangsheng suddenly exclaimed in surprise; he could 'see' the energy feedback.

In the backyard, there existed quite a few light spots with intense energy fluctuations, at least several dozen of them.

Additionally, he also discovered a Restriction.

Li Zhangsheng first arrived at the place where the Restriction existed; this was a fairly spacious room, at least several hundred square meters, and the decorations inside were exceptionally luxurious, which could be said to be the type that Red Dragon Xieryasina liked most.

Without a doubt, this was Cai Yangqian's bedroom!

Following the sensing of his Mental Power, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the bedside, moved all the quilts and bed boards on top, revealing a thick refined iron door, which also had a groove on it that matched the Patriarch Token.

Li Zhangsheng immediately placed the Patriarch Token into the groove; the sound of a mechanism activating rang out, and the refined iron door collapsed directly downward, revealing a winding and deep staircase-style passage.

Above the passage, a Night Pearl was embedded every few steps, emitting a scorching brilliance, dispelling the surrounding Darkness.

Li Zhangsheng activated his Star Aperture, his body surface instantly suffused with a layer of starlight, and only then did he carefully enter the passage.

Along this path, he did not trigger any mechanisms.

Not long after, Li Zhangsheng arrived at the end of the passage without any alarm or danger.

At this time, it was about a hundred meters away from the room above.

Unexpectedly, the end was a very large room, inside which were placed more than a dozen steel cages of varying sizes.

These cages were all made of the hardest diamond, incomparably sturdy, and at the same time, they were set with a layer of Restriction to imprison Spirit Beasts.

Among them, the Restrictions of several cages were in an activated state, currently emitting a hazy halo.

Without a doubt, these few cages were all holding Spirit Beasts, and they all had a listless appearance, completely unable to resist.

The most surprising thing was that they were not just wild Spirit Beasts; there were also Demon Pets that had been contracted by others here, but judging from the faint contract marks visible on their foreheads, their masters had already died.

Li Zhangsheng arrived in front of the largest cage; this cage was a full ten meters high, and inside sat a huge Demon Pet.

"Tsk tsk, Behemoth!"

That's right, it was the Behemoth known as the King of Land Warfare; Li Zhangsheng also did not expect that Cai Yangqian had 'raised' one.

Thinking of that Behemoth with the Concentrated Grade Golden Behemoth Bloodline of Cai Yangqian's, Li Zhangsheng seemed to understand something.

Roar~

The Behemoth looked at Li Zhangsheng, its eyes devoid of any emotional color, and it let out an exceptionally weak roar.

Its condition looked very bad, and Li Zhangsheng only saw savage bestiality in its eyes, but not the spirit unique to intelligent beings.

According to common sense, a Behemoth that is a quasi-god should not be much less intelligent than a human.

Today's goal: Three, pigs, verify!
