Zi Yun Zhenren and the others were stunned by Er Ha's outrageous actions…
"Drip, drip…"
Er Ha's droppings were a bit loose today, falling onto the ground along the Second Elder's clothes…
After a long while…
The Eleventh Elder finally came back to his senses.
Rage, it flared up instantly!
"I'll kill you, you beast!" the Eleventh Elder roared, immediately intending to beat Er Ha to death.
"Eleventh Elder, please calm down!" the four disciples hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "If you kill it, how will you explain it to the Sect Master when we get back…"
The Eleventh Elder's hand froze mid-air…
I'm not angry!
I'm not angry!
I'm not angry!
…
After forcefully suppressing his anger, the Eleventh Elder used his spiritual energy to clean himself of the filth.
He was still not satisfied after doing so, taking out a bottle of fragrant dew and spraying it all over himself.
This sight made Zi Yun Zhenren and the few female elders shudder with revulsion…
No wonder this old fellow looked so effeminate before; it was because of this…
"Eh?" As he looked down, the Eleventh Elder let out a soft exclamation.
Scattered on the ground were fragments of white jade, with faint fluctuations of spiritual power emanating from them.
As he forcefully gathered the fragments, the Eleventh Elder's eyes widened!
Especially when he saw the fish-shaped pattern on one of the larger fragments, the Eleventh Elder understood everything!
So, it turned out that the "Heaven and Earth Without Limits" was eaten by this spirit beast!
The Eleventh Elder no longer cared about being angry; his mind was filled with shock!
It was incredibly difficult to intentionally destroy a treasure like "Heaven and Earth Without Limits."
At any rate, cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage definitely couldn't do it!
Who would have thought that this demonic beast had such terrifying teeth!
In this case, this demonic beast was likely not as simple as it appeared on the surface!
"Eleventh Elder, shouldn't we be leaving…" the four disciples asked softly.
They didn't care about the spirit beast; after all, it wasn't theirs to take back.
What they primarily cared about was how embarrassing the events had been, and they couldn't bear to stay a moment longer…
"Let's go!" The Eleventh Elder waved his hand, issuing the command.
Reminded by the disciples, he felt so embarrassed he almost blushed.
Er Ha was already impatient, immediately driving the coffin ahead of them.
"Brother Ha, you smell so bad!" the little fox moved aside in disgust, "You're so unhygienic."
"Brother Ha just has a good digestion!" Er Ha said dismissively.
Soon, everyone disappeared from sight.
"Sect Master, are we just going to let them leave like that?" the First Elder asked, puzzled.
After all, those were two top-tier spirit beasts!
Even though he didn't know the specific use of that coffin, its material alone indicated it was of the highest quality.
He felt it was a bit of a pity.
"First Elder, you are mistaken." Zi Yun Zhenren smiled slightly, "Since my precious disciple arranged for these two spirit pets to do this, there must be a reason."
"Since my precious disciple has made the arrangements, we don't need to worry about it." After saying that, Zi Yun Zhenren turned and returned to the encampment.
The other elders exchanged glances and followed him back.
Thinking about it, it made sense.
Ye Fan would only do things this way if there was a reason.
It wasn't as if he would just give away two spirit pets for nothing, right?!
A top-tier spirit beast, the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox, plus a canine spirit beast that was suspected to be even more powerful.
Even with a Innate Dao Body, one wouldn't give them away for free, would they?!
That would be a joke!
Even though the five people from the String Music Sect were all at the Nascent Soul stage, if it really came to a fight, they might not be Ye Fan's match.
Not to mention anything else, just the golden dragon qi that had appeared before…
The pressure it exerted on them was far greater than that from these fellows from the String Music Sect!
If a fight were to break out, Ye Fan would surely win!
He might even be able to instantly kill them!
Ye Fan not only didn't proactively engage but also gave away his spirit pets; perhaps he had some plan up his sleeve!
In any case, he didn't need to worry about it anymore!
He had to admit, having a disciple like Ye Fan truly made things easy and reassuring!
On the way back.
The Eleventh Elder and the others stared curiously at Er Ha's coffin, studying it.
Before, they were only focused on how to obtain Er Ha and the little fox; now that it was over, they finally noticed the coffin.
This coffin was extraordinary!
Although they couldn't discern the material it was forged from, judging by the energy fluctuations, it was at least a fourth-tier item!
A fourth-tier material, an item of supreme quality that even the String Music Sect didn't possess!
"If I'm not mistaken, this is at least an Earth-grade magical treasure!" the Eleventh Elder stated solemnly, "And it might very well be Heaven-grade!"
"Hiss—!"
The four elite disciples immediately gasped.
Starting from Earth-grade?
And possibly Heaven-grade?
This was too terrifying!
The magical treasure of the Sect Master of the String Music Sect was also Earth-grade, but it was only forged from third-tier materials.
Compared to a fourth-tier Earth-grade magical artifact, it wasn't even a lesser version!
They were in for a big reward!
This time, they not only brought back the Nine-Tailed Spirit Fox but also a spirit beast suspected to be no inferior to it.
And now, with this coffin as an unexpected bonus…
When they returned, the Sect Master's rewards would surely be substantial!
If the Sect Master was pleased and promoted them, a raise and advancement were imminent!
Er Ha immediately became wary, driving the coffin further to the side.
These two-legged creatures' eyes were so fervent; were they trying to snatch his precious box?!
Trying to snatch something from Brother Ha?
Were they dreaming?!
"Woof!" Er Ha let out a fierce bark.
Of course, to the ears of the String Music Sect members, it sounded like a cute beast's roar…
"This little guy is quite interesting; he's so wary even with just a glance," one of the disciples said with a laugh.
Er Ha suddenly turned his head and stared intently at the disciple.
For some reason, it suddenly had a strong urge to visit his home.
It couldn't explain why, but it instinctively felt that there was something in that person's home calling out to it.
"Oh, he can glare too?" the disciple was amused again, "Too bad you don't look fierce at all, hehe."
Er Ha stopped barking, just looking at him quietly.
He was subconsciously remembering his appearance, remembering his scent…
While the Eleventh Elder and his four companions were scrutinizing the spirit beasts and the coffin, Li Er Bi huddled to the side, not daring to speak.
Firstly, he was already at odds with these people; it would be good enough if they didn't give him dirty looks.
Secondly…
He felt that the progress of events was going too smoothly!
It could even be said to be excessively smooth!
Two top-tier spirit beasts plus a coffin suspected to be a supreme magical treasure; no one would easily hand them over, would they?
Moreover, the young Nascent Soul cultivator from the Purple Cloud Sect had not appeared at all.
This was clearly abnormal!
Li Er Bi looked at the Eleventh Elder and the others, then at the two spirit beasts lying obediently on the coffin.
His mind was gradually filled with question marks.
He had a strong feeling that something was about to happen after they returned…
