Ever since the first time they followed the Ouyang Family to taste roasted demonic beast, the Barbarian Tribe felt as if a whole new world had been opened to them.
Who knew demonic beasts could be used like this?
We were so clueless!
In the past, when we encountered out-of-control demonic beasts in the Barbarian Wilderness, if they were too powerful, we would flee. If they weren't too strong, we'd kill them and bury them on the spot.
But it never occurred to us that demonic beasts could not only be buried... but also eaten!
How many edible demonic beasts have we missed over the years in the Barbarian Tribe?
These past few days, Dou Ding has been reflecting deeply, following the Ouyang Family to continuously taste stir-fried demonic beast meat... roasted demonic beast skin... clear stewed demonic beast bone meat... braised demonic beast ribs... steamed demonic beast eyes... vinegar-fried demonic beast liver... and a series of new ways to enjoy demonic beasts with different textures.
But as Dou Ding ate, he felt something was off.
We can't keep eating like this, or there won't be any demonic beasts left...
Weren't we supposed to be cultivating demonic beasts at the Grand Sky Sect?How did we somehow end up cultivating demonic beast meat instead?
So who led us astray?
Dou Ding pondered this all night but couldn't figure it out...
Dou Ding could accept eating demonic beasts, but being eaten by them was something he found hard to swallow.
In recent days, the brothers from the Dark Moon Clan demonstrated to Dou Ding with facts: when it comes to being twisted, what does the Barbarian Tribe know about being twisted?
Have you ever seen a group of people line up to be eaten by demonic beasts?
If someone had told Dou Ding this before, he would've thought they were out of their mind.
Even in our Barbarian Tribe, we don't volunteer to be eaten by demonic beasts, okay?
It's because of some uncontrollable factors during cultivation that we end up being eaten by demonic beasts.
But damn it, why are you people from the Grand Sky Sect lining up to be eaten by demonic beasts?
I have to say, the Dark Moon Clan has truly found a new source of fun. Look at how stuffed those demonic beasts are...
In the past, demonic beasts would go berserk to eat all sorts of things, but now there's no need for that. They don't have to go berserk at all; the Dark Moon Clan delivers themselves right to their doorstep.
Those demonic beasts had never encountered anything like this before. At first, they drooled over the Dark Moon Clan members who delivered themselves, eating them with ferocity.
But this ferocity didn't last long before the demonic beasts realized things weren't as simple as they seemed...
Demonic beasts can eat a lot, but they can't keep up with the sheer number of Dark Moon Clan members.
As they ate, the demonic beasts couldn't eat anymore, and even the once-ferocious demonic beasts chose to refuse the food delivered to them.
Seeing this, the Dark Moon Clan couldn't stand it... Just now, Senior Brother An Lan was eaten, and I haven't been eaten yet... So the demonic beasts were forcibly fed by the Dark Moon Clan...
But even forced feeding has its limits... Eventually, the demonic beasts couldn't be forced to eat anymore...
Seeing this, the Dark Moon Clan members were so angry they went to the Eternal Spring Palace, and then brought back a large batch of medicines that could enhance the demonic beasts' appetites and even force them to keep eating.
No wonder the medicines from the Eternal Spring Palace are so potent...
The demonic beasts, forcibly fed with medicine, indeed developed terrifying eating capabilities.
They devoured the Dark Moon Clan members with abandon... The end result was that one of the demonic beasts was stuffed to death on the spot...
Upon hearing the news, the Ouyang Family joyfully rushed over to eat the demonic beast that had died from overeating...
Those who eat others will eventually be eaten...
And so, the Dark Moon Clan and the Ouyang Family formed a perfect cycle of demonic beast consumption.
You from the Barbarian Tribe are responsible for cultivation, and if the demonic beasts want to eat people, we from the Dark Moon Clan will provide ourselves. Even if they don't want to eat us, we'll force-feed them. Once they're stuffed to death, we'll hand them over to the Ouyang Family... and then everyone will have a bonfire party together...
Dou Ding was dumbfounded... For countless years, Dou Ding had been pondering how to deal with the rampant demonic beasts in the Barbarian Wilderness, and today Dou Ding asked himself, if the Ouyang Family and the Dark Moon Clan were sent to the Barbarian Wilderness, would they eat all the demonic beasts there using this method...
Chu Xinghe squatted at the entrance of the Dark Moon Palace, holding his head... As expected, there are no damn normal people in our Grand Sky Sect. No matter what happens, as long as it reaches our Grand Sky Sect, it always develops in a very strange direction.
Although this direction is extremely odd, overall, there's nothing wrong with it...
In fact, with the involvement of the Ouyang Family and the Dark Moon Clan, the resources consumed by the Barbarian Tribe to cultivate demonic beasts have greatly increased.
There's no choice... It's not that the Barbarian Tribe wants to consume a lot, but if they consume too little, the cultivation is too slow and can't keep up with the Ouyang Family's eating speed...
Looking at such a harmonious chain of demonic beast consumption, Chu Xinghe felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
Nowadays, the Ouyang Family is so preoccupied with waiting to eat demonic beasts that they don't even have the mind to refine anything.
The Dark Moon Clan, let alone cultivating, is addicted to lining up to be eaten by demonic beasts every day. They've even written about the sensation of being chewed by demonic beasts!
The Barbarian Tribe is frantically consuming sect resources, maintaining a stable pace.
Under such a perfect ecological consumption, Chu Xinghe felt he could finally go inspect the sect's industries with peace of mind.
Upon hearing that Xinghe was preparing to set off, the Great Elder personally sent messages to each northern branch of the Grand Sky Sect, as per tradition, this year the inspection was to be of the northern branches.
When the northern branches received the message from the sect, they took it very seriously.
The northern branches of the Grand Sky Sect aren't just the northern branch of the Grand Sky Chamber of Commerce. The Grand Sky Sect is vast and has countless industries, so this inspection naturally covers all aspects.
Upon receiving the sect's message, all industries controlled by the Grand Sky Sect in the north went all out, even more so than when the Sect Master came for inspections in previous years.
No one is foolish. When the Sect Master comes for inspections, it's routine... As long as everyone does what they're supposed to, it's generally fine.
But this time, it's Chu Xinghe coming!
Who is Chu Xinghe? Although the northern branches aren't within the Grand Sky Sect, they're well aware of all the sect's events.
Don't be fooled by Senior Brother Xinghe being just a core disciple now, but being able to represent the Sect Master for inspections, anyone with a bit of sense can understand what that means, right?
During the Millennium Grand Festival, the name Chu Xinghe became known to everyone under the heavens, and he personally helped Sect Master Gu Mingchao ascend to the position of Martial God, becoming the first Martial God born in a thousand years. People used to say that as long as Chu Xinghe didn't betray the Grand Sky Sect, no matter how much trouble he caused, his position would never be shaken.
And now, people think that even if Chu Xinghe really betrayed the sect, as long as it wasn't too serious, it could still be forgiven...
Even if it were serious... it could be negotiated...
So when they heard that Chu Xinghe was personally inspecting the north, the entire north took it very seriously.
Today was the day of departure, and Ma Liang went to the Dark Moon Palace early in the morning to find Senior Brother An Lan, afraid of wasting time, but when he arrived at the Dark Moon Palace, Ma Liang was speechless.
Because Senior Brother An Lan said he was about to leave the sect to go on inspection with the Saint, and before leaving, he wanted to experience the pleasure of being chewed by a demonic beast one last time, so Ma Liang watched as Senior Brother An Lan was gnawed to the point where not even bone fragments were left.
After waiting another quarter of an hour, he finally saw Senior Brother An Lan come back to life, expressing with a face full of longing if he could go through it once more?
Fortunately, Ma Liang was quick-witted and directly brought up Senior Brother Xinghe to warn Senior Brother An Lan not to delay Senior Brother Xinghe's important matters because of his addiction to the joy of death.
Sure enough, at the mention of Senior Brother Xinghe, An Lan immediately calmed down.
Finally, the inspection trio gathered at the Spirit Crane Palace.
The Great Elder originally intended to personally set up the teleportation array for Xinghe, but was refused on the spot.
Then Chu Xinghe personally set up the teleportation array, and as the light of the teleportation array rose, the three of them disappeared into the teleportation light.
The Great Elder watched as the teleportation array set up by Xinghe dissipated and couldn't help but sigh. Xinghe's teleportation ability, as expected of what the Deputy Sect Master taught, is getting stronger and stronger, already showing the style of his younger days.
The light of the teleportation array descended from the sky, and as the light of the teleportation array faded, Ma Liang was stunned by everything around him.
The surroundings were filled with the sounds of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and looking into the distance... there were small bridges and flowing water...
Hmm... It truly has a northern vibe...
"Ahem... Senior Brother Xinghe hasn't been studying teleportation arrays for long, so occasional errors are normal..." Ma Liang, although not knowledgeable about teleportation arrays, at least knew the difference between the south and the north.
What month is it now? In the north, if it's not snowing heavily, it's still a world of ice and snow.
This place filled with birds and flowers, if you say it's the north... then is my Senior Brother Xinghe's teleportation array too outrageous? Can it even cross timelines?
Just as Ma Liang finished speaking, Chu Xinghe slapped him on the forehead.
Do you think my teleportation array is like the Great Elder's teleportation array? Don't I know this is the south?
I never intended to go to the north in the first place.
Why go north? For inspection? The north received the inspection notice half a month in advance, and everything is prepared to perfection. With everyone in the north fully prepared, what meaning does this inspection have?
What can you see there? You'll only see what they want you to see.
How much profit the sect made this year...
How many outstanding disciples were discovered this year...
How many rare treasures and resources were acquired this year...
How is that different from the annual work report? Your Senior Brother Xinghe can't stand listening to it.
Did I come out for inspection to hear how the sect is profiting?
You only consider the sect's profits, but have you considered my blood pressure, Chu Xinghe?
Listening to that stuff, my blood pressure could shoot up to the point of bursting, believe it or not!
So these days, not only have I been observing the Barbarian Tribe in the Dark Moon Palace, but I've also been quietly planning this inspection.
How can I make the sect suffer the greatest loss through this inspection?
Chu Xinghe pondered this question for many days but had no clue.
Until he saw the various shameless behaviors of the Ouyang Family, Chu Xinghe had a new idea.
Well... causing the sect to lose face is also a loss... Theoretically, the sect losing face should also be rewarded by the Compass of Misfortune.
If you say making the sect lose money is difficult to achieve through inspection, but making the sect lose face is not easy?
Which industry doesn't have some dirty secrets?
And I, the pure young gentleman Chu Xinghe, cannot tolerate any filth in my eyes, so this time, instead of inspecting the north, we will launch a surprise attack on the south. If I catch any dirty secrets, what family shame can't be spread? I, the pure young gentleman Chu Xinghe, will make it public.
Our Grand Sky Sect is unparalleled in virtue, how can we tolerate such filth?
Rest assured, sect, severe illnesses require strong medicine, and my southern inspection will emphasize the word "strong"!
Just watch how strong I am!
