Chapter 614: Chapter 609: Treasure Temptation Subduing the Divine Turtle

Burning Fortune Fire was eerily unparalleled and did not start burning qi fortune only upon contact with the body; in fact, catching a whiff of its flame had already ignited the intangible qi fortune, merely consuming it not as rapidly as when it burned the physical body.

Thus, although the Spirit Turtle had kept the flame external, its defensive shield was also a manifestation of its demon power, inevitably bearing its mark.

The Spirit Turtle was terrified of the Burning Fortune Fire of the Death Curse Crow. The Eight Trigrams pattern on its body suddenly surged, and it recklessly unleashed its internal power, determined to extinguish the flame that was relentlessly consuming its qi fortune.

Once the external Burning Fortune Flames were extinguished, the Spirit Turtle felt a great relief in its heart.

As a born divination master, the Spirit Turtle understood qi fortune far better than the common members of the Demon Clan–valuing its own enormously.

But before it could fully relax, it looked up only to find the situation had turned dire.

Previously, as the spiritual beasts were scattered in various directions, there was a considerable distance between them, and it could have chosen one as a breakthrough point.

However, its multiple attempts to break free had failed and the other spiritual beasts hadn’t stayed still; they had closed in during that time, encircling the Spirit Turtle completely.

Confronted by eight spiritual beasts and twenty eyes staring at it, the Spirit Turtle’s heart started beating wildly.

Especially since the eight blood-red eyes of the Ghost-Faced Spider kept flickering sinisterly, making it feel like it was a bug caught in a web, desperately struggling.

From behind, Qin Feng flew over lightly, landing on the back of the Swallowing Sky Toad closest to him, his gaze on the Turtle Demon as if looking at a priceless treasure. He said, “In Biluo, it’s always been the Beast Taming Sect that troubles the Demon Clan, not the other way around. I never anticipated that you’d turn the tables and seek trouble with me; I must say, that’s very bold of you, Turtle Demon!

“Heh heh, at this stage, you might as well surrender peacefully. If you manage to escape now, where would my face be?”

“Daoist fellow, please show mercy.”

The Spirit Turtle stood upright, transforming into a small, bald old man with a sparse mustache that looked somewhat comical.

It bowed deeply and said, “I was unaware of your identity initially and mistook you for someone from the Evil Path, which led to the offense. If you spare my life, I am willing to offer treasures in return!”

“Oh? You know of treasures?”

Qin Feng, quite intrigued, looked at the humanoid Spirit Turtle, feeling increasingly that this creature suited his interests.

His menagerie, while not lacking in combat power and strength, had none noted for cleverness.

This Spirit Turtle, however, not only was cunning and adept at using various tactics to escape, it was now smartly tempting him with a possibly non-existent treasure.

“Of course, during my travels in the east and west over the years, I’ve come across several treasure locations.”

The Spirit Turtle, now a small old man, kept his round eyes unwavering, his face beaming with innocence and sincerity that made it hard to discern the truth, “As long as you spare my life, I am willing to give you all those treasures.

Those places are all remnants of Ancient Sects or Ancient Immortal Cave Mansions, each containing numerous treasures. If you obtain them, you’re sure to become an immortal and achieve Longevity within a hundred years!”

Qin Feng was taken aback and then burst into derisive laughter, “Becoming an immortal within a century is indeed extraordinarily fast!”

“Indeed.”

The Spirit Turtle maintained its sincere demeanor, coaxing, “Ordinary cultivators may struggle for thousands of years without the opportunity to become immortal. Your cultivation journey must have been tough, and facing such a chance, you should seize it well.”

“Ha ha ha ha…”

Qin Feng couldn’t help but laugh out loud. After a long while, he controlled his laughter, wiped the smile off his face, and said coldly, “I had no intention of making you an enemy; it was you who intentionally sought trouble and tried to frame me. Don’t blame me for relentlessly pursuing you. Otherwise, it would ruin my reputation if word got out.

You are unrepentant and continue to try to deceive me with smooth words–I cannot spare you!”

“Daoist fellow, do not be annoyed. What I said is true.”

The Spirit Turtle shook its hands repeatedly, trying to gain Qin Feng’s approval, “If you let me go, I will surely lead you to the treasure!”

“Hmph, once I capture you, everything you have will be mine. Then will I still be worried about you not talking?”

Qin Feng casually spoke a sentence that almost drove the Spirit Turtle to despair.

“I… I won’t agree to become your Spiritual Beast. Don’t force me, or if you really push me to the edge, I’d rather use a heaven-defying technique and severely injure you!”

The Spirit Turtle, feeling somewhat guilty, spoke with a touch of bluster in its tone.

“Heh heh, heaven-defying? How dare you speak of defying heaven in front of me, the Master of Qi Luck?”

“What?”

The Spirit Turtle was stunned, “You are the Master of Qi Luck?”

“Ignorant and unenlightened, you don’t even know my name, yet dare to oppose me!”

Qin Feng sneered, waving his hand, “Go, capture it alive. Little turtle, you’d better surrender willingly. Otherwise, in our merciless fight, should I accidentally inflict severe injuries or even damage your origin, be careful that I might not accept you anymore.

Also, be careful not to harm my spiritual beasts since they are my most loyal and valued subordinates. If you seriously injure them, to give them an explanation, you, too, will have no way out!”

While Qin Feng spoke these intimidating words, he did not believe that such a cunning creature would really choose to fight to the death if there was still a chance to live.

Although becoming his spiritual beast seemed to lack freedom, compared to death, Qin Feng believed the creature would make a wise decision.

“Daoist fellow, do not act rashly. If you find the Ancient Immortal Cave Mansion insufficient, I can offer you other fortunes.”

The Spirit Turtle hurriedly said, “Isn’t your Beast Taming Sect renowned for beast taming? I know the lairs of several powerful demon beasts and can help you set up an ambush to subdue all those spiritual beasts. Wouldn’t that be…”

Unfortunately, no matter how eloquently it spoke, Qin Feng was unmoved. Before it could finish its speech, a group of spiritual beasts had already launched their attacks.

“Roar…”

The White Dragon roared, spewing out a long-prepared World-Purifying Holy Flame. The purifying aura frightened the Spirit Turtle, who hastily reverted to its original form and summoned an Eight Diagrams Shield around itself for protection.

Then, a massive thunderbolt descended from the sky, the result of the Spring and Autumn Cicada’s wings rubbing together to unleash Heavenly Thunder Divine Power.

The Life Tree waved its branches, silently casting a green halo onto the Spirit Turtle, beginning to strip away its vitality.

The Ghost-Faced Spider did not join the attack but spun two massive webs, one above and one below, enveloping the space in a net to prevent the Spirit Turtle from escaping into the sky or burrowing underground.

Each attack from these spiritual beasts terrified the Spirit Turtle, who could not understand how Qin Feng had raised so many beings with unique divine powers.

But what frightened it the most was not these spiritual beasts but the large black dog that, silent yet displaying its fangs, pounced towards it.

Indeed, the biting dogs do not bark!

And this dog not only had a frightening biting force; what chilled its heart even more was this Great Black Dog’s cultivation, which was actually at the Demigod Realm.

Now the Hellhound had initially mastered the cultivation technique of the Heavenly Dog Clan, and at this moment, it unleashed the Devouring Divine Power of the Heavenly Dog Clan. To outsiders, it appeared incredibly bizarre. Its already huge gaping maw opened wider than its head, seeming to transform into a black hole that devoured everything, inspiring terror at a glance.

Seeing those gleaming, fiercely white fangs and the bottomless gaping maw immediately overwhelmed the Spirit Turtle.

It barely managed to keep its Eight Diagrams Protective Shield up for three seconds before it was shattered by the powerful divine abilities of the White Dragon and other spiritual beasts. Before it could set up another defense, the Hellhound’s maw had clamped onto it, a haunting crunch echoing far and wide.

The Eight Diagrams spiritual patterns on the turtle’s shell flickered, frightening the Spirit Turtle from using its shell to resist the sharpness of the Hellhound’s teeth. Fearing its shell might be shattered, which would greatly affect its innate divine abilities, the turtle hurriedly shouted, “Stop biting, stop biting, I’m willing to surrender, I surrender already!”

Clack, the Hellhound, previously fervently interacting with the shell, ceased biting, but a droplet of crystal-clear saliva dripped from its long fangs onto the Spirit Turtle’s back.

Breathing heavily, with hot breath that burned the soul, the Hellhound, despite the Spirit Turtle’s surrender, did not release the cunning turtle but instead, gripping the Spirit Turtle in its form, sprinted a few steps in the void and came to a halt before Qin Feng.

“Are you really willing to surrender?”

Looking at the Spirit Turtle poking its head in and out of its shell, Qin Feng smiled slightly and asked softly.

“Willing to surrender, willing to surrender!”

The Spirit Turtle quickly responded, “As long as you don’t refine me into your lifebound spiritual beast, I’m willing to surrender!”

“Oh? You seem to have some understanding of our Beast Taming Sect’s techniques!”

Qin Feng nodded, “Fine, since you are willing to surrender, do not resist. I’ll first send you into a space magical treasure.”

“Very well, very well, I won’t resist.”

The Spirit Turtle poked its head out a bit more, but seeing the Hellhound’s fangs hovering above its head, it quickly retracted again.

However, it felt a surge of hope rise within.

It initially thought that the Beast Taming Sect’s individual would first implant a Binding Spell from their sect’s secret techniques. However, seeing that it was merely being placed into a space magical treasure, it began to harbor other thoughts.

Perhaps, it might have a chance to break free after all.

If given a few days to completely refine the Spirit Fruit it had previously swallowed, its power would surely increase, and when Qin Feng summoned it to place the Binding Spell, as long as it wasn’t prepared for its significant advancement in cultivation, it might be able to instantly escape.

It had decided that when the time came, it would use a heaven-defying secret technique from its bloodline inheritance. Unless Qin Feng had already achieved the Immortal Dao, he would definitely not be able to catch up with it.

The reason it had not used this technique earlier was not only due to the high energy consumption but also because the preparation time required was too lengthy, and there had been no opportunity to use it.

Just as the Spirit Turtle was entertaining various thoughts, suddenly, the Hellhound holding it in its mouth abruptly dashed forward, bringing it along into a dim space.

The Spirit Turtle was startled, “What kind of space magical treasure is this? Why is this place so strange?”
