AMSSO-Chapter 42: There Is a Tiger

After being pulled away for a distance, Meng Fanzé finally came back to his senses and shouted, “Second senior sister, we just left like this?!”

He hadn’t even said a proper goodbye to He Yinglan!

Qin Yiwei nodded, her hand not letting go, “Yeah, we have to hurry back, Master is waiting for us!”

“Isn’t Master always in the sect—”

“The grandmasters died.”

This caused Meng Fanzé’s question to stop abruptly.

“—The grandmasters died?!”

Jiang Yunnuan screamed, completely disbelieving, “You’re lying to us, right?!”

How come she didn’t know?!

Chu Jingzhuo and Xin Jinrui then realized they hadn’t told Jiang Yunnuan about this matter yet.

They had planned to tell her after returning to the sect, but as soon as they went back, they saw the Rakshasa Wolf attacking the sect.

After that, it was making the human-skin masks and the voice-changing pills, then rushing to other cities, starting to withdraw money, nonstop without pause…

As a result, they really hadn’t told Jiang Yunnuan about this matter!

Jiang Yunnuan and Meng Fanzé were both stunned, “You’re not lying to us, right?!”

“We’re not lying to you.” Chu Jingzhuo shook his head, his voice heavy. “The grandmasters… died a few days ago!”

The two gasped sharply, “How could it be?!”

“They died in the secret realm.” Chu Jingzhuo’s face was heavy and sorrowful.

Mentioning the grandmasters made everyone’s mood become extremely heavy and sad.

The grandmasters were always very good to them.

Although Chu Jingzhuo knew that the reason they treated them well was to make them treat Master well, the two elders indeed did it sincerely.

They wouldn’t give much material support, but gave a lot of care in spirit.

Every time they returned, as long as the elders were there, they would give them a bright smile, then ask about them with warmth.

For them who lacked family love, the grandmasters had given them the love of elders.

So, their death was a huge blow to them.

Chu Jingzhuo and the others had already known this matter for a few days, had some time to process and settle their emotions, so it wasn’t as painful.

Meng Fanzé and Jiang Yunnuan who suddenly learnt about it, were dumbfounded.

“How could this be…” Jiang Yunnuan looked at them in panick, “You’re joking, right?!”

Meng Fanzé also shook his head again and again, unwilling to believe, “Weren’t the grandmasters very strong? How could they die! Could it be a mistake?”

Chu Jingzhuo shook his head, his face sorrowful, “Their life lamps have already gone out.”

At this, the scene fell into dead silence.

Chu Jingzhuo was the only one who had witnessed the entire matter, and everyone knew he had a delicate personality, he wouldn’t lie about something like this.

Besides, he wouldn’t joke about such a thing.

Jiang Yunnuan’s tears fell, crying until she couldn’t breathe, “How could it be like this? I just thought they went out for a while and would come back later!”

Meng Fanzé also cried, “Grandmaster, grandmaster!”

Even Xin Jinrui and the others couldn’t help but shed tears, and the scene was full of grief.

Without the grandmasters, what would become of Wanxuan Sect?

The five of them cried together for a while. In the end it was Qin Yiwei who recovered first,

“Alright, don’t cry! Although the grandmasters are gone, Master is still here!”

At the mention of Master, everyone’s emotions immediately changed.

“Yes, we still have Master!” Jiang Yunnuan nodded while sobbing, “As long as Master is here, our sect is here!”

Tears still in his eyes, Meng Fanzé was stunned when he heard this, “But didn’t you say that Master couldn’t handle things?”

“We misunderstood Master!” Xin Jinrui said seriously, “Before, with the grandmasters here, Master never showed her ability. Now that they are gone, Master is different!”

“Different? Different how?” Meng Fanzé was very curious.

He’s straightforward in nature, but not stupid.

He could still notice the change in attitude of his senior brothers and sisters toward Master.

“Master can tame beasts, and also forge artifacts and refine pills!” Jiang Yunnuan said excitedly.

“Ah?!”

Meng Fanzé was dumbfounded, “You’re not lying to me, right? Master has these skills?!”

Although he didn’t spend much time with Master, it wasn’t to the point that he wouldn’t know if master had the ability or not!

“I’m not lying to you!” Jiang Yunnuan shook her head repeatedly, “You can ask them!”

Meng Fanzé looked at Xin Jinrui and the others, his eyes full of questions.

“Third Junior Sister was right, Master is very powerful!” Chu Jingzhuo nodded firmly, “You’ll know when you go back! Also, my spiritual root has already been repaired!”

“Fourth Senior Brother/Fourth Junior Brother, your spiritual root was repaired?!” Jiang Yunnuan and Meng Fanzé were both shocked.

“Yes, it’s all thanks to Master!” Chu Jingzhuo nodded proudly.

The two were even more shocked, Master even had this ability?!

“Then what are we waiting for, let’s go back quickly!” Meng Fanzé became anxious, urging.

Now, he didn’t care about He Yinglan anymore and only wanted to quickly return to the sect.

The others naturally had no objections, they also wanted to quickly go back to see Master.

But just as they could faintly see the sect’s buildings ahead, they heard a roar.

“Roar~!”

This tiger’s roar carried strong resentment, the pressure was astonishing, startling countless birds and beasts.

“There’s a tiger!”

Meng Fanzé sucked in a cold breath in fright, how could there be a tiger here?!

“Run quickly!” His first instinct was to turn and run.

He wasn’t stupid, this sound was clearly from a very high level, very powerful tiger. If he went over, it would be delivering himself as food!

But what surprised him was that his fellow disciples didn’t run, instead they continued walking forward.

Meng Fanzé was so anxious he shouted, “Are you all crazy?! That’s a tiger!”

He’s practically going insane.

He’s always called too simple and silly by his sect siblings, but how come he felt like they were even sillier than him?

Knowing there was a tiger on the mountain, yet still going forward. If they’re not fools, then they must have strength.

But, they didn’t have that strength either!

“Master is inside!” Xin Jinrui turned back and said to him.

“M–master… Master?!” Meng Fanzé gasped, his face changing drastically, “This is bad, this is bad! Master is inside! We, we must save her…”

He fumbled anxiously, rummaging in his storage bag, trying to find something useful.

But his storage bag was very small, and he knew clearly what was inside.

There was no weapon or magic artifact!

Meng Fanzé instantly sank into despair.

He’s so poor!

Master’s doomed!

“Hurry over here!”

When he was in despair, Chu Jingzhuo’s shout came ahead.

He looked up blankly, and saw Chu Jingzhuo waving at him, “Hurry up!”

“Th–th–that…” Meng Fanzé was dumbfounded, “There’s a tiger there!”

The weakest tiger-type spirit beasts were at least third-rank.

This tiger’s roar was so fierce, it definitely wasn’t just third-rank!

If they all went in, they would die!

“I know!” Chu Jingzhuo nodded, “But with Master here, we don’t have to be afraid!”

“Ah?!”

Meng Fanzé was directly stunned. What did that mean?

Qin Yiwei directly gave him a push, “Go in and you’ll know!”

Only then did Meng Fanzé notice that the others were all very calm, without a trace of fear.

He was completely numb.

How come after just a few days of being away, the world had changed?

When he muddle-headedly followed them into the courtyard, the scene before his eyes made him drop his jaw!

Why is there a Soul-Devouring Tiger here, and also an Iron-Eating Beast?!

Oh heavens! The Soul-Devouring Tiger and the Iron-Eating Beast cub are fighting!
