Chapter 41: Queyu and Heding
"Lady Saintess, you have returned."
Outside the Saintess Palace, Demon Court.
As the giant bird puppet descended, the two heavily armed giant apes at the gate immediately greeted her.
At the same time, the eyes of the two giant apes also glanced at Ouyang Hao and Lin Jing, who were following Xu Qingyao...
There's an extra one...
A newly tamed human follower?
It's unknown whether this one is an alchemist or a beast tamer...
In the Demon Court, humans are actually quite common.
Demon Court, unlike other demon beast forces, aims to revive the demon race.
The demon race is akin to the human race, so to study the methods of reviving the demon race, there are also many human members within the Demon Court.
The glory of the demon race has also fostered a large number of fanatical human followers.
Thus, every saintess' retinue has a certain number of human followers.
The First Saintess loves to recruit male cultivators with special constitutions.
The Second Saintess loves to gather geniuses talented in creating cultivation techniques and magic.
The Third Saintess, Xu Qingyao, especially loves recruiting those with talent in alchemy and human geniuses who practice the Guardian Dao.
If they're alchemists, they are sent to study Transformation Pills.
If they're Guardian Dao geniuses, they're encouraged to switch to Beast Taming Techniques and are even assigned battle partners.
"Big Ape, go notify all members of 'Queyu' to wait for me at Zhongshen Mountain," Xu Qingyao said to one of the giant apes.
After speaking, she led Lin Jing and Ouyang Hao into the palace.
"What is Queyu?" As they walked, Lin Jing asked Senior Brother Ouyang.
"They are the most promising batch of talents among the senior sister's followers, including both humans and beasts."
"Most of them are descendants of Demon Emperors, meaning they are the offspring of those Demon Emperor protectors of the senior sister. Of course, there are also two human geniuses with demon beast bloodlines, all with 'Divinity Transformation potential'."
"With the cultivation of resources from the Saintess through the Demon Court, Queyu is very likely to become the Divinity Transformation team personally nurtured by the senior sister in the future!"
"Impressive... So next, we'll be dealing with this group, right?" Lin Jing nodded.
Senior Brother Ouyang's mouth twitched, give them some face.
"Besides 'Queyu', the senior sister also has another organization called 'Heding', consisting almost entirely of alchemy geniuses, comprising both demon beasts and humans, specifically studying Transformation Pills."
"Hmm." Xu Qingyao, walking ahead, said, "It's because you bunch of disciples from the Ancient Beast Taming Sect are so unpromising, you don't even qualify to enter 'Queyu' or 'Heding', making my acceptance of you subject to much criticism."
"Ah, this..." Ouyang Hao said helplessly, "The Beast Taming Sect is merely a third-rate sect in the Ancient Country... Even the true disciples from the Ancient Country coming here wouldn't be a match for those monsters in Queyu."
"But it doesn't matter now, he's here!" Senior Brother Ouyang smiled slyly, patting Lin Jing's shoulder vigorously.
This is the monster who was named the top prodigy of the Ancient Country with the Longevity Body!
......
Zhongshen Mountain.
At the Third Saintess's command, figures gradually left their own caves and descended here.
"Strange, why did Lady Saintess suddenly call us here?"
A Golden Lion Emperor stood at the mountain peak, voicing its confusion. It was only at the early-stage demon core cultivation, but its bloodline was astonishing, the imperial bloodline exuding a terrifying aura.
"No idea, is there a new 'recruit' joining us? Looks like our resources will be divided again." A Golden Core Stage youth, with several scars on his face and thick white fur all over, walked up, looking somewhat wolfish.
"I wonder if it's a 'human' or a 'demon beast', why can't I be a demon beast? I really want to be Her Highness the Saintess's pet dog, rather than contracting a canine beast myself." The white-furred youth lamented immensely.
"Disgusting fellow." Another green phoenix landed on a tree, chirping in a female voice, "Just with your level, you want to be Sister Saintess's dog... Even being my dog, I wouldn't be interested."
Unexpectedly, it was a divine bird from the Phoenix Race with an imperial bloodline.
"Stupid bird, what did you say!!" The youth with a wolf race demon beast bloodline spoke angrily.
Amidst the noise, Zhongshen Mountain soon gathered four demon beasts and two beast-blooded humans.
All four demon beasts have imperial bloodlines, which is beyond extraordinary, and the two humans also possess high-grade demon beast bloodlines...
"Quiet!"
Just as the Queyu beasts' argument grew intense, a voice came, followed by three rainbows descending, it was Xu Qingyao, Lin Jing, and Ouyang.
"Why is there still one missing?" Xu Qingyao glanced around at a Golden Lion Emperor, a green Small Phoenix Emperor, a black Small Bull Emperor, a red-haired Small Ape Emperor, a white-haired Small Werewolf, and a large-breasted Bear Girl...
"Lady Saintess." The Queyu members immediately greeted.
"Lady Saintess, that guy should have snuck out." The black yak lying down spoke nonchalantly.
Xu Qingyao said calmly, "Sneaking out without reporting to me, I'll deal with it when it returns, having you few is enough, let me introduce a newcomer to you all."
"This is the Fire Dragon Alchemist, potentially a new member of Queyu."
"Huh?" The bear-blooded girl with large breasts put down the jerky in her hand and looked dazedly at Lin Jing behind the Saintess.
"This guy doesn't seem as strong as the sunny boy next to him. The sunny boy's strength isn't even close to Queyu's standard, can he do it?"
"What's wrong with me." Ouyang Hao glared, you just wait!
Eventually, I'll take all of you!
"Wait, an alchemist? Why isn't the alchemist joining Heding and instead ending up in Queyu?" The young werewolf asked incomprehensibly, looking at Lin Jing with hostility.
"Foundation Establishment Mid-Stage..." The other descendants of Demon Emperors also didn't understand.
"Could it be a Guardian Dao Cultivator?" If he is a Guardian Dao Cultivator, his personal cultivation level doesn't matter, just the level of his pet beasts.
"Ask what should be asked, and don't ask what shouldn't." Xu Qingyao looked at Lin Jing, "Fire Dragon Alchemist, upon joining Queyu, you will be able to enjoy the cultivation resources of the Demon Court, but likewise, to join Queyu, you need to meet a condition, which is to be able to defeat at least one current Queyu member, this is the rule established from the beginning."
"The more you defeat, the better the resource cultivation treatment."
"If you become the strongest in Queyu, you could become the captain of Queyu, leading Queyu in my absence."
"Look at these six, which one do you want to challenge?"
Lin Jing looked at the six strong-looking individuals in front of him and spoke, "Your Highness the Saintess, may I ask who the current captain of Queyu is?"
With Lin Jing's words falling, five members of Queyu squinted their eyes, looking at Lin Jing with interest, feeling that this newcomer was quite arrogant.
After the five, a dark yak lying on the ground spoke in a calm tone, "Human kid, as a newcomer, you should behave like one... aspiring too high is not good."
"It will be you, then." Lin Jing observed and said, "A rarity from the Great Strength Ox Demon clan, I see.."
The Great Strength Ox Demon clan mainly cultivates physical strength and can easily topple mountains and overturn seas.
The yak slowly stood up, its black eyes gazing at Lin Jing.
"Truly disobedient, but since you were brought back by the Saintess, I won't eat you, even though you look somewhat tasty."
