Chapter 401 - A Stupid Young Master?

The man had never expected for the beast to be able to speak in the human tongue. While he knew that beasts with a higher cultivation base had the same intelligence as that of the humans and some could even understand human speech, not all could actually speak.

Those who could speak in human tongue could be counted on two hands and they were not beasts that could be commonly found. Thus, seeing a completely inhuman beast like that talking in human tongue was far more shocking than seeing a humanoid beast like an ape talking.

"Yeah, I can. Now tell me who you are and what were you doing at the Jiao Dian City? What is your background?

" Lin Wu questioned the man in an authoritative tone.

The man was stunned and did not speak for about ten seconds before he finally understood something.

"Oh? You want to know my background? Hahaha!

" The man suddenly started to laugh.

Lin Wu only furrowed his brows upon seeing the man's actions and even wondered if the man had gone insane from the shock. At first, he was scared and then he was acting fearlessly, laughing in front of two beasts, one of which was at the Dao Shell realm!

"You will shiver in your place after hearing about my background! Open your ears and hear, I belong to the Lian Clan!

" The man spoke.

But after he spoke, no reaction could be perceived from Lin Wu and the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle. Lin Wu was simply confused and was trying to remember if he knew about this clan while the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle was simply staring daggers at the man while embers sparked on her feathers.

'Huh? Why are they not shocked?' the man thought.

Lin Wu got a list of the known Lian clans on the continent from the system and he looked through them. He immediately discarded the weaker ones and the commoner clans and only looked at the cultivation clans.

Eventually, he came upon the most probable option, the Lian clan, which was the third strongest clan on the Long continent. It was said to be in the same league as that of the Long clan and the Ji clan, though they were many times weaker than the Ji clan.

"Hmm, is it the Lian clan among the top three clans of the Long Continent?

" Lin Wu guessed.

"Hahah! Seems like you know it! So… why aren't you kowtowing and begging for forgiveness now? If my clan finds out about this, you all will be slaughter—

"

~Crack~

Before the man could finish his sentence, the barrier surrounding him was cracked by Lin Wu. Spikes appeared from his body that pressed upon the barrier. The spikes also had a blue layer on their tips, which meant that Lin Wu was using the Undaunted Sapphire Body art.

The man didn't even have a chance to cry out in fear, before the spikes directly hit his body. The spirit tools on his body all activated and tried to defend, but the spirit Qi modified by the undaunted sapphire body art was the best counter to that.

~gua~

The barriers were all broken and Lin Wu's spikes finally pierced the man's body. One of the smaller spikes directly pierced his forehead, killing him.

"System, check his memories if he is telling the truth and gather all that you can get as well.

" Lin Wu quickly ordered.

~DING~

Lin Wu nodded his head upon seeing this and loosed his grip on the dead man, withdrawing his spikes.

"Here you go,

" Lin Wu extended the dead body of the man towards the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle who had been looking at him with fury.

~shua~

~Crackle~

Lin Wu threw the body of the man towards the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle, who spewed out a stream of flames that instantly reduced it to ashes that drifted away in the wind.

'Oo, she really was angry…' Lin Wu thought.

"Humph! Pesky human!

" The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle said, still feeling angry.

"A stupid one too. I don't know what kind of upbringing he had that he was taunting us when death was just in front of him. He really knew how to court death…

" Lin Wu said.

"What did that man talk about? Why was he laughing?

" The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle questioned after calming down a bit.

"Oh, yes. This man was just one of the stuck up young masters of the cultivation clans. One of the more… dumb ones. He really thought he could depend on his treasures and just his clan's name to resist us.

Though he does belong to a rather powerful clan, the Lian clan. They are two ranks below the Long clan who have the bloodline of the legendary Azure Dragon.

" Lin Wu answered.

"What imbeciles these humans have… even beasts don't act like that and know when to retreat.

" The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle commented.

"Though this Lian clan… are they strong?

" the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle questioned.

"Hmm,

" Lin Wu nodded his head.

"From what I've read before and this man's memories, the Lian clan has two Dao Treading realm experts and several Dao Shell realm experts.

" He answered.

The Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle furrowed her brows feathers as her beak slightly opened like a frown.

"I know humans like to take revenge a lot. They have attacked the beasts in the forest many times, whenever one of theirs was killed while hunting us. Will these people come to hunt us too?

" the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle questioned.

While the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle was proud of her strength and bloodline, she wasn't stupid like a certain younger master and knew that there were stronger experts that could fight and even kill her.

While the Silver Beak Sky Soar Eagle might have been able to resist the Aquadream Sea Lotus for a bit, it was still a beast that had been disadvantaged. The human cultivators at the Dao Treading realm would not have a restriction like that and they would also be far more clever.
