Chapter 1348: Chapter 175: Earning Great Merit, Seeking Praise

In order to avoid being followed halfway, Bo Bo took several detours, wandering through most of Tianyong City. Only when she confirmed no one was tailing her did she return to Dugu Mansion.

"Finally decided to come back?" Yun Sheng spotted Bo Bo and threw her a mock disapproving glare.

"Mercy, master, I won’t dare next time." Bo Bo grinned cheekily. Having been with Yun Sheng for so long, she knew her master’s temperament well. "But master, I’ve accomplished a great feat today. Guess who I ran into on my way back? I encountered the sore loser Younger Ba Snake Clan Leader."

"Chi Muguang? You ran into him? Were you hurt?" Yun Sheng remembered Chi Muguang as Madam Bi’s brother. Both siblings were known for their narrow minds. It wasn’t surprising they would trouble Bo Bo after she caused the Ba Snake Tribe to lose a crucial round today.

"Not a single hair lost, but he and those Ba Snake Warriors with him have been exiled by me. They won’t be back for at least a hundred years." Bo Bo laughed so hard she couldn’t close her mouth.

"Exile... a hundred years? Are you saying you exiled all the remaining Ba Snake Tribe members?" Yun Sheng was both amused and baffled.

This was the first time Yun Sheng found Bo Bo’s divine skill genuinely reliable.

Bo Bo indeed surprised her this time.

The Ba Snake Tribe was truly done for this time.

As night fell, the Ba Snake Tribe’s guest house was shrouded in a low mood.

Chi Zhanfeng had not spoken a word since returning from the plaza.

Shame, it was truly shameful. Since its establishment, the Ba Snake Tribe had never faced such disgrace as today.

Being humiliated by a mysterious ordinary Beast Clan member, the Ba Snake Tribe might not maintain its position as a Lower Beast Clan.

"Someone, call the Younger Clan Chief and the other four over." Though angry, Chi Zhanfeng knew it was not the time for anger.

"Clan Leader, the Younger Clan Chief and several Ba Snake Warriors went to surround the woman who killed Cang Wu and haven’t returned." Hearing this from his subordinates made Chi Zhanfeng more furious.

"Useless fools, at such a time they’re still seeking revenge. A bunch of incompetents." Chi Zhanfeng’s anger flared but immediately he sensed something was off.

The tournament had ended three or four hours ago, and it was already late at night.

If Muguang led people to surround her, they should’ve killed the woman and returned by now.

"Come with me to search for the whereabouts of the Younger Clan Chief and others." With their blood connection, Chi Zhanfeng had a foreboding feeling.

Through the night, until dawn, Chi Zhanfeng and his subordinates did not find any trace of Chi Muguang or the Ba Snake warriors.

They searched almost every inch of the city, but not a trace of Chi Muguang’s whereabouts. The only lead was in an alley where Chi Zhanfeng used the Ba Snake Clan’s special tracking method to find a hint of Chi Muguang’s scent.

But in the middle of the alley, that scent abruptly disappeared.

It was as if Chi Muguang and those Ba Snake Warriors vanished into thin air.

On the seventh day of the tournament, before it even began, shocking news spread among the remaining seven Great Beast Clans.

The Younger Ba Snake Clan Leader and his Ba Snake warrior contestants mysteriously disappeared overnight, and not even their bones were found.

Rumor had it that when the Ba Snake Clan Leader Chi Zhanfeng heard the news, he spat blood three times and fainted.

Due to the lack of contestants, the Ba Snake Tribe automatically forfeited.

This resulted in the Ba Snake Tribe being stripped of its Lower Beast Clan status in the Eight Desolates Beast Clan.

This was the first time since the Eight Desolates Beast Clan took over Bahuang Continent that the beast clan status had altered.

This change surprised the other seven beast clans.

But none were happier than Hu Qianqiu from the Sky Fox Tribe, though that’s another story.

Replacing the Ba Snake Tribe in the challenge tournament was a newly emerging beast clan that consecutively won three days’ matches—the Hua Clan (a name suggested by Yun Sheng).

In the remaining days, the Tianyong City populace mostly discussed several topics.

Topic one: Where did the Younger Ba Snake Clan Leader and his subordinates disappear to.

On this topic, many speculated the Ba Snake Tribe couldn’t accept defeat and simply ran away.

Topic two: The origins of the newly appeared Hua Clan.

The Hua Clan appeared very mysterious. Some say the Hua Clan was formed by a union of many mixed beast clans, and the mysterious woman who defeated Cang Wu came from the Hua Clan.

But Hua Clan members seemed very low-key, with no further news about them.

Topic three: The awe-inspiring beauties of the Sky Fox Tribe.

After a few days, with the challenge tournament’s start and the Ba Snake Tribe leaving Tianyong City, the first two topics cooled.

But the last topic, with the challenge tournament nearing, grew even more popular.

It’s no surprise, as heroes and beauties have always been evergreen popular topics. The Sky Fox Tribe held onto their Lower Beast Clan status, entering the challenge tournament with six straight wins, and rumors swept through the populace that the Sky Fox Tribe was hiding even more formidable masters.

These topics drew some attention from certain figures within the city, but not from the upper echelon of the Black Qilin Tribe, especially not Hei Linlin.

"The challenge tournament is about to start, the Clan Leader isn’t around, shouldn’t you make an appearance, Younger Clan Chief?" an attentive maid of Hei Linlin gingerly suggested.

"No need. The challenge tournament is just a formality. The three strongest Upper Beast Clans have automatic qualification for the core competition. Tomorrow, the Beast God Altar’s people will arrive, and Father has ordered me to greet them outside the city."

These past days, Hei Linlin had not watched a single match of the hotly discussed tournament.

To Hei Linlin, the only ones barely worth competing against were the likes of Upper Beast Clan Green and Purple, and now there’s Dugu Xiu.

As for the other beast clans, especially the popularly discussed Sky Fox Tribe’s few Heavenly Foxes, the Ice Fox, and Jade Demon, to her, they were mere jesters.

What concerned Hei Linlin was the impending arrival of the Beast God Altar.

Regarding the Beast God Altar, Hei Linlin shared Hei Yao’s view to avoid conflict as much as possible.

Rumor had it that this time, the High Priest of the Beast God Altar personally came and was bringing a closed-door disciple whose purpose was to participate in the core competition.

She was eager to see what kind of figure they were.
