The Ninth Sister is a Prodigious Beast Master

Chapter 1412: Chapter 1412: Is the Master Coming?
 

Ten thousand years had passed, and many magical beasts could no longer withstand the power of the curse, plus the corrosion of the black fog and its Evil Energy, eventually leading to their deaths. Now, the only ones still alive were, besides Agul, incredibly just five magical beasts.

Suddenly, they felt that the evil force that had always pressed down upon them vanished. Inside the tomb of Princess Ninth Huang, the wandering magical beasts all leaped up. The five magical beasts, each in human form, had their determination weakened by the millennia, but time seemed to have stopped on their faces.

“Has the master come?” Azi, who once gave birth to the Violet Flame Winged Lion King, was still carrying a violet-red robe, quickly running towards the entrance, her purple hair lifting and trailing behind her as she ran, tears streaming down her face.

Even after ten thousand years, Azi still believed that the master would definitely return.

Seeing this, the other four magical beasts—Golden Dragon, Golden Phoenix, Thunderclap Cat, and Flying Silver Fox—also ran forward. The Ancestral Stone, weighing upon their heads for ten thousand years, eroded them day and night. Xi Feng once said she wanted to see all of Huang Jiu’s magical beasts eventually turn into murderous maniacs, despised by the whole Central Continent and the Rubis World.

Even if Huang Jiu could perform Soul Gathering Rebirth and return, the people of the Rubis World would slay her along with her magical beasts.

Only by being completely eroded by the Evil Energy of the Ancestral Stone could they break free from the Curse Power and escape from this Cursed Land, but over ten thousand years, more than a hundred of Huang Jiu’s magical beasts chose death when they could no longer restrain their hearts.

Even in death, they refused to tarnish the name of Beiting Huang.

There was only a hole about forty centimeters in diameter at the top of the tomb. It was through here that the Devil Emperor had come and gone, bringing all of Princess Ninth Huang’s possessions to her. In the last twenty-plus years, he visited the most frequently, battling with Agul each time he came.

Golden Phoenix and the other magical beasts thought that they weren’t the only ones waiting for their master’s return; thinking of the Devil Emperor, they suddenly found the courage to keep going. Sometimes, they, the last few steadfast magical beasts, thought that if the Devil Emperor had appeared earlier, maybe the other magical beasts could have held on.

The five magical beasts unable to revert to their true forms began tidying their clothes. No one told them that it was Beiting Huang who was coming, but they seemed to have received a revelation that it must be their master.

“Yaoyao, can you help me see if my hair is messy?” Erwei suddenly became very nervous, her eyes shimmering, with two ears still resembling those of a cat, she said to Golden Phoenix.

Even Nine Heavens Silver Fox Qingjiu, who usually spoke little and preferred to daydream alone, became somewhat uneasy. She raised her hand to smooth her hair and straightened her clothing, and inexplicably, tears welled up in her eyes.

Golden Dragon Fengcang also adjusted the golden robe he wore and looked up to the hole in the ceiling. There was a formation pattern above that blocked some of the external evil; it was transparent, allowing them to see the sky outside.

In the past, the outside would be pitch-black, covered entirely by the black mist from the Ancestral Stone, but this time, when the five magical beasts looked up at the sky, they saw some faint light. And this glimpse of light brought them infinite hope.
