Chapter 6: 100,000-Year Spirit Beasts as Gatekeepers

Jiu You stood still, waving his hand, and a vast surge of spirit power instantly gathered in his right hand.

Ssshh!

Two black and purple chains gradually formed in the void, exuding a terrifying draconic aura. It felt as though all of heaven and earth were being bound by these chains, sealing both the sky and the earth.

"Go!"

With a loud shout, Jiu You sent the two chains piercing through space, appearing before the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape in the blink of an eye.

"This is bad! That one has made a move!"

"Er Ming, run!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python, seeing the chains forming around it, frantically struggled with all its might to break free. But it was useless. As soon as their spirit power came into contact with the chains, it seemed to dissolve.

The chains tightened, binding them both more securely. The more they struggled, the tighter the chains became, preventing them from fully exerting their power.

Seeing this, Xuan Shuang immediately knew that Jiu You had intervened.

"Stop wasting your energy. Come with me to meet the Pavilion Master!"

Xuan Shuang then approached the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, capturing them and taking them into the Star Dou Auction Pavilion.

The two beasts, unwilling but unable to resist, were led inside. Once they entered the Auction Pavilion, they were shocked.

Despite the building looking small from the outside, the inside was vast and grand beyond belief. The contrast was staggering!

For a moment, both spirit beasts were filled with intense confusion. What kind of power could create such a place?

"As expected of the two kings of the Star Dou Forest—Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape. Your reputations are well deserved!"

As they were reeling from their shock, they heard Lu Yun's amused voice echo in their ears.

"Human Spirit Master! What are you planning?"

The Sky Azure Bull Python snapped out of its daze upon hearing Lu Yun’s voice and roared angrily, unwilling to submit. Its powerful 100,000-year spirit beast aura tried to burst forth, but the chains brutally suppressed it, making them unable to move even an inch.

"Oh, that's funny coming from you. It seems you two were the ones who came looking for trouble at the Star Dou Auction Pavilion. But your strength was insufficient, and now you've become prisoners. How can you blame anyone but yourselves?"

Hearing this, Lu Yun shook his head, mocking the two beasts without any mercy.

"If you have any guts, let me go!"

The hot-tempered Titan Giant Ape, feeling its power being restricted while enduring the mockery of a human spirit master, couldn't contain its anger any longer and roared. It struggled violently against the chains, but they only tightened further, making it difficult even to breathe.

"If you want me to let you go, it's not impossible. You just have to agree to one condition."

Suddenly, a sly smile appeared on Lu Yun's face as he spoke gently to the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.

"What condition?"

The Sky Azure Bull Python, sensing something was off in Lu Yun’s words but fearing for their lives, cautiously asked.

"It's not too difficult. All you need to do is guard the Star Dou Auction Pavilion from now on. Help us deal with troublesome spirit masters or spirit beasts that cause trouble here."

"In short, you'd become the gatekeepers for the Star Dou Auction Pavilion!"

Lu Yun spoke straightforwardly, looking at the two 100,000-year-old spirit beasts with great interest. 

He was eager to see whether they would agree to his terms.

"Never! You can kill us, but you cannot humiliate us! We spirit beasts would rather die than agree to such a degrading condition!"

At that moment, the Titan Giant Ape angrily refused, looking as though it was prepared to die. 

Even if it meant self-destruction, they would not become prisoners of the human spirit master.

"If that's your choice, then you'll have to deal with the consequences yourselves!"

"Jiu You, handle these two 100,000-year spirit beasts. Use whatever means necessary—I just want results."

Seeing the situation unfold as expected, Lu Yun waved his hand calmly, signaling Jiu You to deal with the two spirit beasts. He didn't believe they could resist him for long.

As soon as Lu Yun finished speaking, a wave of fear surged in the hearts of both beasts.

Sure enough, an hour later—

"Stop! We agree to your terms!"

"Please, stop!"

Two desperate voices rang out within the Star Dou Auction Pavilion. It was none other than the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, begging for mercy.
