Xiong Ba stared at the back of Qu Wen Hao and he was still feeling rather confused.
“What is the Grand Chieftain trying to do? Why am I getting more confused as I watch him?”
Qing Yu was still evaluating the situation and when his eyes fell upon the back of Qu Wen Hao, the blood completely drained out of his face in an instant!
An ominous premonition rose up in Qing Yu’s heart as he asked with his lips trembling: “Didn’t the Grand Chieftain ask just now whether Young Master Jun brought his Spirit Beasts out?”
“That’s right.” Xiong Ba replied nonchalantly, but suddenly noticed that Qing Yu’s face had taken on a deathly pallor. “What happened to you?”
Qing Yu raised a trembling finger and pointed it at Qu Wen Hao’s back as he said in a hoarse voice: “Do you see what that is…..”
Xiong Ba looked at where Qing Yu was pointing at and he suddenly spotted a silvery white flute that was stuck at Qu Wen Hao’s hip. Throughout the entire Thousand Beast City, nobody would fail to recognise that flute!
It was just an instant, but Xiong Ba’s face turned just as pale!
In the Thousand Beast City, no one would not know what that flute really was. That was the flute that determined the might of the Thousand Beast City, and that was what brought unparalleled glory to the Thousand Beast City!
“The Spirit Taming Bone Flute….. Why would the Grand Chieftain bring the Spirit Taming Bone Flute out…..” Xiong Ba was still highly flustered, dogged by the feeling that something bad was about to happen.
The temperature quickly left Qing Yu body which caused him to shiver slightly.
“Leading Young Master Jun away, and bringing the Spirit Taming Bone Flute to go towards Young Master Jun room….. The Grand Chieftain is thinking to gain control over Young Master Jun’s Guardian Grade Spirit Beast!”

Chapter 1075: “Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain (3)”
Inside the room, Lord Meh Meh was lying prone upon the bed. It stuck out its little hoof to nudge at the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit continuously, attempting to dislodge the scheming rabbit who had invaded the space upon the bed. The Sacrificial Blood Rabbit dug its front paws stubbornly into the blanket, seemingly as if it would rather die than submit to the tyranny.
Before Jun Wu Xie had left, she had knocked it into the heads of the two dumb beasts, warning them if they were to stir up any trouble, when she came back, they could forget about getting anything to eat!
Under the allure of food, the two dumb beasts were a lot more settled down and they did not dare to create any big damage on the surface, but these little instances of friction between the two of them happened continuously.
Lord Meh Meh’s little hoof had already left a series of tiny hoof marks on the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit’s big ears, and it continued on happily almost like it was going to purr with delight.
The Sacrificial Blood Rabbit was still young and only when its fur changed colour would it be possible for it to battle Lord Meh Meh. But now…..
The scheming rabbit could only allow itself to have its whole face covered in hoof marks!
While the dumb sheep happily tried to nudge the scheming rabbit off the bed, it shifted its body to try to occupy more space for itself, driving the scheming rabbit so mad it really felt like leaping over and driving its pair of rabbit teeth into that insanely annoying hoof.
Just as the two dumb beasts were nudging and pushing at each other, the tightly shut door was suddenly pushed open by someone!
Lord Meh Meh and the scheming rabbit immediately ceased with their battle and as they had immediately assumed the person who pushed the door and came in was Jun Wu Xie, they quickly scooted onto separate sides, wiggling their tails as they put forth their most innocent faces.
However…..
The person who appeared through the door was not Jun Wu Xie, but a tall middle aged man they have never seen before.
“Puu?” The scheming rabbit tilted its head and looked at Qu Wen Hao standing in front of the door. The dumb sheep took the opportunity to kick the scheming rabbit off the bed with one swing of its hoof!
It saw the furry little rabbit tumble off the bed entirely and fall onto the floor with a splat!
Lord Meh Meh wiggled its tail delightedly and turned itself in circles with all four of its hooves, bundling up the blanket together in a coil, before finding the softest spot within it and snuggling into it!
[Lord Meh Meh is the cleverest one! Humph!]
Qu Wen Hao’s face was dark as he stared at the two Spirit Beasts in the room. His gaze passed right over the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit fallen onto the floor and was hopping mad in indignation to fix onto the highly pleased looking Lord Meh Meh.
A trace of an inner struggle appeared in his eyes as his hands reached behind his back stiffly. His hands could feel the cold smooth surface of the Spirit Taming Bone Flute, that slight icy chill, quickly driving out all the warmth from those hands.
“Grand Chieftain!” Xiong Ba rushed in puffing and wheezing as his horrified gaze stared at Qu Wen Hao’s hands upon the Spirit Taming Bone Flute.
Qu Wen Hao’s body froze suddenly but he did not turn back, and just ordered in a deep voice: “Get out!”
Qu Wen Hao acting like this, was a sight that Xiong Ba had never seen before, gloomy and repressed. Even when the Thousand Beast City had been going through its most difficult times, Qu Wen Hao had never exhibited such gloominess. Faced with such a strange Qu Wen Hao, Xiong Ba was suddenly feeling highly nervous.
“Grand Chieftain, that is Jun Xie’s Spirit Beast….. What….. are you really going to do?” Xiong Ba was feeling torn as he stared at Qu Wen Hao. He believed in the Grand Chieftain and was willing to devote his whole life to the Thousand Beast City because Qu Wen Hao was worth his unwavering loyalty. But with what Qing Yu had earlier hinted, and he began to realise what Qu Wen Hao might possibly do here, he found himself refusing to believe it as fact.
Although Qu Wen Hao did not have much direct contact with Jun Xie, but the cooperation between the two people was already in progress, and every action that Jun Xie carried out within the Thousand Beast City had been tacitly accepted by Qu Wen Hao.
Volume 11
Chapter 1076: “Spirit Taming Bone Flute (1)”
From what the facts were at that time, Jun Wu Xie was already an ally of the Thousand Beast City.
No matter what, Xiong Ba could not make himself believe that Qu Wen Hao would act against his own ally.
“I asked you to get out!” Qu Wen Hao bellowed in a deep voice angrily, his tone revealing a tinge of impatience.
“Chieftain! What are you really going to do? Young Master Jun is a friend of ours!” Xiong Ba was unwilling to leave and he just remained there to stare at Qu Wen Hao’s back, his fists clenched up tightly.
Qu Wen Hao was silent and the hand clasped over the Spirit Taming Bone Flute still did not pull it out, looking like he was struggling within, deeply hesitant.
“Chieftain, Young Master Jun’s companions are already investigating into where Madam and the others have been imprisoned and it won’t be much longer that Madam and the others will be rescued back here, and we’ll all be finally free from Qu Xin Rui’s blackmail. The freedom we have all longed for for so many years, the reunion that everyone will enjoy uninterrupted, is about to be realised…..” Xiong Ba pleaded, starting at Qu Wen Hao. He could not understand why Qu Wen Hao was suddenly doing something like this but he was not going to stand back and allow Qu Wen Hao to continue to err like this.
Qu Wen Hao’s body rocked once and the fingers locked over the Spirit Taming Bone Flute moved slightly.
Xiong Ba’s alerted senses detected the movement and regardless of the reason why Qu Wen Hao would do such commit such indiscretions, he still firmly believed that the Grand Chieftain he had pledged allegiance to, was never one who goes back on his word, or a hypocrite who sets up his allies.
“It will all happen very soon. Just wait a
little….
Wait for just a few days and it’ll all work out, and Madam will come back to be reunited with you and Young Miss.” Xiong Ba persuaded gently, without anyone knowing how tightly tensed up every single muscle on his body was at that moment.
But, just at the moment that Xiong Ba’s voice dropped, Qu Wen Hao who had initially still been highly hesitant suddenly pulled out the Spirit Taming Bone Flute from his hip!
“Grand Chieftain!” Xiong Ba slightly jumped in shock.
Qu Wen Hao then said loudly in rage: “As the Grand Chieftain of the Thousand Beast City, I hereby order you! Get out!”
Qu Wen Hao did not turn around, unwilling to, and not daring to at the same time.
From Xiong Ba’s voice, he had been able to detect the shock and utter disbelief under the undying loyalty Xiong Ba held towards him.
But…..
He had been left with no other choice.
Qu Wen Hao raised the Spirit Taming Bone Flute to his lips, his narrowed eyes staring at the befuddled looking Lord Meh Meh lying upon the bed.
“Chieftain ! ! !” Xiong Ba shouted out in shock. No matter how much he refused to believe it, Qu Wen Hao’s actions had clearly revealed his intentions!
He was really thinking to use the Spirit Taming Bone Flute on Lord Meh Meh! !
Lord Meh Meh was Jun Xie’s Spirit Beast and what Qu Wen Hao was doing was as good as turning hostile against Jun Xie!
The mellifluous sound of the flute suddenly rose from within the room, the free and highly natural notes unlike the sound made by any other flutes, sounding so surreal it did not seem that it was possible to have been produced from any instrument. The melodious sound was heard within one’s ears, but it felt like it came from the soul, every note tugging at the spirit, to dance in tandem to its tune.
With flute melody, to tame the thousand beasts!
In the instant the flute played, Lord Meh Meh who had been lying upon the bed suddenly gave out a wail of agony!
Its four hooves curled in and its entire body began to twitch incessantly, fallen onto the bed. Its pair of round limpid eyes were shut in pain as a heart wrenching wail spilled out from its mouth!
The Spirit Taming Bone Flute, made use of its melody to twist and warp spirits, draining Spirit Beasts of their will, to make all Spirit Beasts under the Heavens, forcefully subjugate them against their will, to bow and submit themselves, to the holder of the Spirit Taming Bone Flute!
Volume 11
Chapter 1077: “Spirit Taming Bone Flute (2)”
To activate the power of the Spirit Taming Bone Flute, Qu Wen Hao needed to employ his own spirit power. Forcibly twisting the Spirit Beast’s will was not that tough a task but when the target was such an immensely powerful Guardian Grade Spirit Beast, then to the manipulator, it would pose to become a highly dangerous endeavour.
Although Qu Wen Hao was able to use the Spirit Taming Bone Flute as a medium to twist and manipulate the Spirit Beast’s thoughts, but the more powerful the Spirit Beast was, the stronger the willpower and spiritual consciousness would be, resulting in the amount of spirit power that would be required to influence its mind to increase! And even after successfully manipulating the Spirit Beast, the slightest carelessness would have the beast turning back on him instead.
Looking back on the many decades since the founding of the Thousand Beast City, throughout the many generations of Grand Chieftains who held the Spirit Taming Bone Flute, less than few have dared to antagonize a Guardian Grade Spirit Beast. They would rather expend more time to gain control over several high grade Spirit Beasts, than go head on to face a Guardian Grade Spirit Beast.
Because, once a Guardian Grade Spirit Beast resisted to its death, it would also bring indelible damage to the manipulators as well!
“Grand Chieftain! You can’t do this!” Xiong Ba called out as he looked at Lord Meh Meh wailing in agony upon the bed, his heart immediately leaping into his throat, and he really felt like jumping on Qu Wen Hao at that instant to stop him from carrying on any further.
But just as he was about to move closer, two other figures suddenly appeared on both his left and right sides. They were not just anybody but the other two Clan Chiefs besides him and Lin Que!
In the Thousand Beast City, besides Lin Que who had already aligned himself with Qu Xin Rui, the other Clan Chiefs held the same thoughts as Xiong Ba, and were fiercely loyal to Qu Wen Hao. In order to save the Thousand Beast City, they had stood on the same line with Xiong Ba and Xiong Ba had never thought that the day would come that he would be grabbed and held down by them!
As Xiong Ba swung his head to look outside from out of the corners of his eyes, he was shocked to see that Qing Yu had already been captured by the Deputy Clan Chiefs of the other two clans as well, unable to move an inch just like him.
“Xiong Ba, do not try to meddle with this any further. The Grand Chieftain….. To do this, he would naturally have his reasons.” One of the Clan Chiefs said to Xiong Ba, the expression on his face highly pained.
“Damn it! Let me go! Chieftain! You cannot do that to Jun Xie’s Spirit Beast! We are allies! Jun Xie is a friend that we specially invited here to help us!” However dense he was, he realised that Qu Wen Hao came here well prepared, having made the Clan Chiefs and their deputies from the other two clans to restrict the movements of him and Qing Yu.
The mellifluous sounds of the flute in the room did not stop, and meshed within the sounds of the flute, was Lord Meh Meh’s pitiful wails and Xiong Ba’s heart rending shouts.
Qing Yu and Xiong Ba wanted to put a stop to all of this, but they were held down by both their arms and legs, and even gagged, where they could only look on helplessly as Lord Meh Meh’s struggles between its wails slowly grew less and less frequent.
Qu Wen Hao’s forehead was already dripping with sweat as his face turned from red to white. From the time he became the Grand Chieftain of the Thousand Beast City, this was the first time he was faced against a Guardian Grade Spirit Beast, and the level of danger and pressure he was facing could not be imagined by just any one.
The Sacrificial Blood Rabbit stood on the floor completely stunned as it stared at Lord Meh Meh who had always kicked it with those little hooves currently wailing in pain. It was still very young and it did not understand what was happening, but it knew that Lord Meh Meh was in agony.
It leapt up onto the bed it had completely forgotten all about the constant bullying from Lord Meh Meh. It stretched out its tiny paw and stroked Lord Meh Meh’s body continuously, wanting Lord Meh Meh to feel better. From its mouth, worried little breaths could be heard, like it was feeling very worried about Lord Meh Meh’s condition.
Volume 11
Chapter 1078: “Spirit Taming Bone Flute (3)”
Xiong Ba was fighting with all his might to break free from his captors but it was no use.
Lord Meh Meh’s response was getting weaker and weaker and the stones at Qu Wen Hao’s feet was covered with a layer of sweat. His clothes were soaked with his perspiration and it was continuing to drip onto the floor.
Finally, Lord Meh Meh fell into a faint on the bed, not moving an inch. Qu Wen Hao had at the same time ceased with the flute and when he put down the hand that held the Spirit Taming Bone Flute, his body fell back weakly a step, and fortunately for the Clan Chief at the side who rushed to prop him up.
Qu Wen Hao pushed the man away from him and stood panting as he stared towards the bed.
“Bring it with us.” Qu Wen Hao said.
One of the Clan Chiefs immediately walked to the bedside, thinking to carry the comatose Lord Meh Meh from the bed.
Xiong Ba fell back onto the floor, as he stared at Qu Wen Hao in despair.
He could not believe that the Grand Chieftain he had always respected the most, would use the Spirit Taming Bone Flute to take Jun Xie’s Spirit Beast away from the youth…..
Qing Yu had even shut his eyes from the deep pain he was feeling in his heart, unwilling to watch anymore of i
t.
Qu Wen Hao did not dare to look away, and did not dare look in the direction of Xiong Ba. He could just vividly imagine, the kind of disappointment showing in Xiong Ba’s eyes. He drew in a deep breath and forced himself to steel his heart.
The Clan Chief who had come to the side of the bed carried up Lord Meh Meh who was lying upon the bed and the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit who had laid beside Lord Meh Meh stared anxiously with its naively ignorant pair of eyes as the man picked Lord Meh Meh up, hopping a couple of times, wanting to follow them.
The Clan Chief was seemingly at a loss for a moment as he looked at the “big eared rabbit” with several scars across its body before he turned hesitantly to look at Qu Wen Hao.
“Grand Chieftain, this big eared rabbit…..”
“No need to bring that.” Qu Wen Hao said coldly.
The Clan Chief had no choice but to brush the big eared rabbit away.
Being pushed away on the bed, the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit quickly leapt right back up and hopped several times, wanting to continue to hop to Lord Meh Meh’s side.
The Clan Chief was getting rather impatient and it raised a foot to kick the Sacrificial Blood Rabbit away!
The tiny Sacrificial Blood Rabbit fell heavily onto the ground, and it gave out a low groan.
The Clan Chief carried Lord Meh Meh in his arms and immediately turned to leave, with Qu Wen Hao drawing in another deep breath before turning to leave as well.
But at the moment Qu Wen Hao had just stepped out through the room’s door, from behind him, a powerful wave of Spirit Beastial energy aura suddenly surged!
A sudden scream sounded out from behind him and he turned around in puzzlement, where he immediately saw the Clan Chief who had been carrying Lord Meh Meh had fallen to the ground!
A blood red rabbit was bent over his neck, its mouth still biting on a chunk of well bloodied neck bone!
