Chapter 229: Immortal Beasts Shall Never Be Slaves!

Chapter 229: Immortal Beasts Shall Never Be Slaves!

“Maybe your companions are just too tired and craving rest, not wanting to engage, huh?”

Ruo’er once again made a guess, trying to say something nice about the immortals. After all, being kind-hearted, she believed the immortals wouldn’t have such a wicked heart.

“Impossible! Even if they’re tired today, they will recover by tomorrow,” White Immortal Tiger was still agitated, continuing to argue.

“Don’t you usually train? Why is it different this time?”

“Yes, we usually train, but I don’t know why it’s like this this time. However, I’ve sensed ominous signs. It’s not just me; the other escaped companions have sensed it too. This will be the end for us Immortal Beasts!”

Seeing White Immortal Tiger getting all worked up, Lin Nuo was curious and interrupted Ruo’er:

“What did it say to you?”

Ruo’er turned to Lin Nuo and recounted the matters of their Immortal Beasts. After hearing this, Lin Nuo began to gloat.

Oh, this is perfect! It’d be best if your Immortal Beasts and immortals fought each other, forming some kind of tribal alliance for a face-off. I’ve even got a slogan ready for you: For the Tribe! Immortal Beasts Shall Never Be Slaves!

As of now, let’s just call it the Great Beast Escape.

But really, this might be a misunderstanding. Even if there were issues, they’d be small ones. After all, he’s a reborn person who knows the future; in the future, Zifeng Valley will still exist, and the quality of their Immortal Beasts is quite good.

Yes, back in the day he couldn’t even recall how many he had eaten.

Excited by the chaos, Lin Nuo got a new idea—he should make good use of this situation, stir things up, and incite some discord.

Now that he had Ruo’er, the little girl who could communicate with the Immortal Beasts, he could fully utilize her communication skills.

However, he couldn’t just openly tell Ruo’er: “Yes, that group of immortals has bad intentions, wanting you Immortal Beasts to become slaves. You should rise up and strike back at those doggy immortals!”

If he did that, he would end up at a disadvantage in public opinion, appearing as the bad guy (though he essentially is a bad guy). Everyone would know he harbored ill intentions, and he would prematurely step into the role of a major villain.

An excellent villain should remain undetected while stirring up chaos. Cough, I mean, while scheming grand plans.

Lin Nuo had a plan—he should hide the Immortal Tiger, and if possible, find other Immortal Beasts, hiding them together, and find a way to take them out of Zifeng Valley.

However, Lin Nuo figured that after they hid this Immortal Tiger, other Immortal Beasts would probably be found by the immortals.

No problem; as long as one Immortal Beast leaves Zifeng Valley, there’s an opportunity for it to spread the news of the immortals’ “evil deeds.” After all, there are more than just Ruo’er who can understand Beast Language. You never know; they might run into another one who can speak it.

At this moment, Lin Nuo decided to implement his chaotic plans—spreading rumors. Once a rumor spreads, denying it would be futile; throw a little money at some carefree tabloids or something, and it could spread like wildfire. Along with the matter of the Immortal Beasts leaving the valley, Zifeng Valley would face disgrace.

Even if they want to clarify, it’d be too late; the news would already be known far and wide.

However, sending an Immortal Beast out of Zifeng Valley won’t be easy. If that’s not possible, then he’ll need to incite the Immortal Beasts’ anger against the immortals.

So how to operate this? Just add some fuel to the fire and let Ruo’er act as a messenger.

Of course, first things first, he had to convince Ruo’er to agree to hide the Immortal Beast.

At this moment, Ruo’er anxiously said, “Young Master, we should hurry and return it to the immortals!”

Lin Nuo shook his head and said, “No, this situation is suspicious. We need to investigate it thoroughly; otherwise, returning it would be like sending a sheep into a tiger’s den. I can’t bear to see these Immortal Beasts suffer.”

“So what should we do now, Young Master?” Ruo’er grew anxious.

“Let’s hide it first; then I’ll investigate further. If it’s a misunderstanding, we’ll just return it. If there’s a problem, then we’ll see how to handle it. We must find a way to protect the Immortal Beasts. After all, they have their own consciousness. Being forced into servitude is like living a fate worse than death.”

Lin Nuo said seriously, looking around and spotting a cave not far away.

Good, let’s check it out.

“Wait here; I’ll see if it’s a good hiding spot.”

Lin Nuo dashed toward the cave, taking a look inside. There was no one around, and no other creatures—not a bad place to hide.

Ruo’er waited anxiously in place, and while Lin Nuo checked, she conversed with White Immortal Tiger, sharing her thoughts with it.

She revealed her identity to White Immortal Tiger, who quickly recognized they weren’t immortals and carried no trace of immortal energy. The reputation of Xuanyun Sect was also known to it, after all, Xuanyun Sect has spirit beasts too.

White Immortal Tiger found Ruo’er warm and friendly, with a unique charm, feeling she was harmless, even more so than its master.

To be honest, immortals are inherently proud. They feel superior when compared to ordinary mortals. Their attitude towards Immortal Beasts reflects this superiority.

Immortal Beasts rank much lower, and it’s an unwritten rule that they should be driven by immortals. So, when White Immortal Tiger’s companions displayed unusual behavior, it panicked, feeling that the immortals wanted to completely dominate them, which was no different from death.

White Immortal Tiger felt a barrier with its master—even years of cohabitation couldn’t erase that barrier.

It believed Ruo’er came to save it, but as for Lin Nuo, it couldn’t comment since it didn’t feel any affinity toward him, though he was Ruo’er’s master.

With Ruo’er around, and Lin Nuo’s suggestion aligning with its thoughts, it felt they could be trusted.

Lin Nuo returned and said, “The cave is a good hiding spot, but I worry it might not comply. We can use Dao Fu.”

“No need, Young Master~ It has agreed~”

“Can it be trusted?”

“It can be trusted~” Ruo’er smiled.

“Alright, if it dares to bite someone, I’ll take its teeth out.”

Lin Nuo retracted the spirit symbols surrounding White Immortal Tiger, his spell losing effect, allowing the tiger to step out.

He kept a hidden weapon ready, prepared to strike back in case the tiger lunged at them.

But things didn’t turn out as badly as he thought; White Immortal Tiger obediently followed Lin Nuo and Ruo’er.

“By the way, I have a question. Why can’t I sense its aura? Ruo’er, ask it.”

“Hmm, it told me~ This is their survival method, concealing their aura when necessary so that even immortals cannot detect it~”

“But how can you sense it?”

“Well… um… I don’t know~”

Ruo’er scratched her little head, smiling foolishly.

Lin Nuo began to understand.

Ruo’er, like Su Kexin, possessed a peculiar physique—one that was hard to explain.

Maybe this should be a research topic—write a hundreds-of-thousands-word thesis that will be remembered through the ages.

“Young Master, look quickly! There are Heavenly Lotus Flowers here; it seems to be the Rain Rainbow Cave! A perfect place for dual cultivation~!”

Ruo’er suddenly got excited.
