Brownie’s body was gradually expanding bit by bit as all four of its thick and stout limbs grew more massive continuously. The human spirits that surrounded it were flabbergasted with shock by everything that was happening before them as Brownie’s constantly increasing size was pushing them back step by step, and not a single one among them dared to take a step forward!
“How are things turning out like this…..” Wu Jiu glared incredulously at Brownie’s fur that was gradually turning a dark golden sheen, and his eyes that had been collected and filled with glee was replaced by utter shock.
All the Beast Spirits were staring wide eyed at that moment, captured in awe at the constantly changing Brownie. The beast that had been just a brown bear was actually slowly turning to become their most sacred Spiritual Bear that must not be defiled in any way!
How is this possible! ?
The Beast Spirits were all stunned beyond words, and the words Nalan Shan had said earlier resounded unendingly within every one of their minds.
The brown bear is the Spiritual Bear…..
The brown bear is the Spiritual Bear…..
The brown bear…..
That is their very own sacred Spiritual Bear! !
In that instant that all of them saw the Spiritual Bear, they all fell obsequiously onto their knees, prostrating themselves fully to the ground as they let out an emotional roar.
The rising and falling beastial roars reverberated outside the first Serene Spirit Tower, weaving into a moving symphony, rising up in a song of praise!
That was the piety the Beast Spirits held towards the Spiritual Bear, the worship of their faith!
The lies Wu Jiu told collapsed onto itself right at that moment.
The appearance of the Spirit Bear completely exposed the ugliness and venomous side of Wu Jiu’s!
Line after line of light gold runes then began to cover over Brownie’s dark gold body of fur, to become a pure and holy body that countless Beast Spirits could only pine for in their dreams!
“Wu Jiu, I have returned!” Brownie said as it lowered its head, its vengeful gaze staring at Wu Jiu who was caught up in utter shock. Throughout countless days and nights, in a dungeon that saw not the light of day, it was restrained in Soul Binding Chains till it could not even move, but to be trapped in dismal sorrow and darkness, enduring the torment that Wu Jiu inflicted onto it, tolerating the agony while its power of the spirit was being drained out of its body bit by bit.
Having walked out from that hopeless and desperate situation, it was not just the longing for freedom, but more about the hatred he had come to hold against Wu Jiu!
The raging burning flames of vengeance flared inside Brownie’s chest. It had endured through despair and humiliation, seeking only for the moment it would exact its revenge today!
It had come back!
Coming out before its enemies with its unmatched power of before! It would use its claws to tear through Wu Jiu’s ugly and evil soul, and send him on his way to Hell!
Upon witnessing the return of the Spiritual Bear, countless Beast Spirits tilted their heads back and let out accompanying roars, the highly emotional roars quaking the eardrums of everyone present painfully!

Blazing rage rose in the hearts of the Beast Spirits. They realized that they had all been toyed with by Wu Jiu. Wu Jiu’s exoneration and his lies, had now instead proven his shamelessness. He was seeking to capture the Spiritual Bear, their very own Spiritual Bear!
Unforgivable!
Unforgivable!
The Beast Spirits’ rage had been ignited. They all charged into the battlefield, going forward a step at a time towards their Spiritual Leader, a low threatening growl coming out from their jaws, their bodies taut, in a state that was ready to attack anytime.
Those human spirits who had surrounded around Brownie were so frightened by all those pairs of rage filled eyes that their souls very nearly fleeted out of them. They backed up in retreat a step at a time, not daring to look straight into the rage of the Beast Spirits!
Wu Jiu’s face had turned an extremely ugly shade. He could not have ever thought that the Spiritual Bear that had been completely drained of powers would still have the ability to execute a last gamble, and the manifestation of the Spiritual Bear had completely pushed him to the edge of the abyss.
Wu Jiu gritted his teeth, as he stared at the massive number of Beast Spirits.
In a fluster, he realized that things were suddenly not right. He had designed today’s events to be a beautiful moment that he would capture Nalan Shan, and after the Beast Spirits lost to the Weapon Spirits in their contest for the fourth Serene Spirit Tower, even if they did not blame Wu Jiu, they would definitely not want to come all the way out here just to watch.
Their numbers were too great!
The Beast Spirits’ numbers were just too overwhelming!
Logically, it shouldn’t be possible that there would be so many Beast Spirits here today.
Wu Jiu had not felt anything peculiar about it initially, having thought that the Beast Spirits were just here to catch the excitement.
But now that he thought about it, for such a large number of Beast Spirits to appear, it did not seem to have happened by accident, but by someone’s intentional design, only waiting for the moment that the Spiritual Bear reveals itself, to incite hatred to rise within the hearts of the Beast Spirits!
Just who had schemed all of this?
Poison Ivy? Nalan Shan? Or was it…..
Wu Jiu suddenly raised his eyes up, and looked towards the young lady he did not know well.
Anything and everything had always been within this control. It was until Jun Wu Xie appeared that caused things to fall into the current disarray.
It’s her!
Jun Wu Xie stared back at Wu Jiu’s gaze without a flinch, the corners of her mouth curling up in a slight arc, seemingly sneering at Wu Jiu’s stupidity, that just confirmed Wu Jiu’s suspicion.
This entire scheme, had been designed by Jun Wu Xie, that struck a most effective retaliation against Wu Jiu!
Wu Jiu could no longer deceive the Beast Spirits, where he could no longer openly imprison the Spiritual Bear!
Rage and shock intertwined within Wu Jiu’s heart. Not even in his dreams would he have thought that the plot that he had weaved so carefully would be defeated by Jun Wu Xie’s hand!
“Wu Jiu, you plot had been exposed. How are you going to deny it any further?” A deep booming voice rang out from above, up in the sky.
Wu Jiu suddenly raised his head to look up, to see the gargantuan sized Flame Dragon flying high up in the sky!
That’s right, how could he not have thought of that? Flame Dragon had always been rather guarded against him. Back when he had incited conflict among the three great races, Flame Dragon had tried its best to avoid becoming involved. To be able to summon so many Beast Spirits to appear here at this place today, besides Flame Dragon, who else could it be! ?
Flame Dragon, must have joined hands with Jun Wu Xie in this!
“Deny? What is there for me to deny! ? Capturing the Spiritual Bear is the Spirit Lord’s idea and I was merely following orders. I had thought to not worry the Beast Spirits too much but you are now not appreciating the thought. But you still can’t blame me for this.” Wu Jiu said with a sneer. Not only was he not showing any fear from being exposed, he was instead showing greater arrogance.
He lowered his head back down and looked at Soul Slayer who was standing dazed on the side to say: “Soul Slayer, do you know why I still have not completed the construction of the fourth Serene Spirit Tower all this time?”

Soul Slay
er was slightly taken aback, not knowing what Wu Jiu was going to say. The situation before its eyes had truly far exceeded anything it could have expected. It had never thought that Wu Jiu would really be so audacious to dare to put the Beast Spirit’s Spiritual Bear in captivity!
“Why?”
Wu Jiu suddenly laughed out loud. He stared at the Spiritual Bear viciously and he spat out through gritted teeth: “Because the construction of every Serene Spirit Tower requires a sufficiently powerful spirit body as its support, and the supporting spirit for the fourth Serene Spirit Tower is the Spiritual Bear!”
“What! ?” Soul Slayer was completely stunned.
“Haven’t you been so keen on getting your hands on the fourth Serene Spirit Tower? Weren’t you wishing that the Weapon Spirits would be able to become stronger through the Serene Spirit Tower? Then the opportunity is now right here before your eyes. Once we capture the Spiritual Bear, I guarantee that within just five days, all of the Weapon Spirits will be able to go into the Serene Spirit Tower to cultivate, which would give all of you more power than you have ever possessed. Soul Slayer, I am doing all this for the good of all of you Weapon Spirits. The fourth Serene Spirit Tower was not built for the human spirits but for all the Weapon Spirits!” Wu Jiu’s eyes said as his eyes flashed schemingly.
Soul Slayer was so overcome with shock it was unable to open its mouth for a long while, its mind a whirl of chaos. The thinking ability of Weapons Spirits was already not that strong in the first place and Wu Jiu’s words had further caused Soul Slayer to be unable to think calmly.
Capture the Spiritual Bear, construct the fourth Serene Spirit Tower…..
The two blood red rubies set deep within Soul Slayer seemed to be turning between Wu Jiu and the Spiritual Bear in turn.
“There is no need for you to worry. Constructing the fourth Serene Spirit Tower is the Spirit Lord’s idea and the Spirit Lord id aware is well aware of the requirements of building the Serene Spirit Tower. If I do not have the Spirit Lord’s permission, how could I possibly dare to make a move on the Spiritual Bear? Soul Slayer. The opportunity now rests right before you. I can help you capture the Spiritual Bear, and I can help you finish up the construction of the fourth Serene Spirit Tower. This opportunity that’s hard to come by in a thousand years is placed right before your eyes. Are you going to give up on the fourth Serene Spirit Tower or are you going to give it a gamble for the sake of gaining the Weapon Spirits powerful might? The final choice, is now yours to make.” Wu Jiu deviously pushed the entire matter right onto Soul Slayer. He knew very well that the human spirits they had brought here would not be able to battle the horde of Beast Spirits present, but there were many more Weapon Spirits who had come. If the Weapon Spirits joined them, he saw that he would then be able to drive back the Beast Spirits and to capture the Spiritual Bear!
Soul Slayer was hesitant. It was exactly their desire for the Serene Spirit Tower that had brought about the constant strife between the Weapon Spirits and Beast Spirits and countless Weapon Spirits had died in that period. They had finally won the Serene Spirit Tower after so much hardship, were they now going to give it all up for nothing?
Soul Slayer was feeling a little disgruntled.
Flame Dragon seemed to sense that Soul Slayer was wavering and it suddenly said: “Soul Slayer, do not fall for Wu Jiu’s ploy in driving a wedge between us! The Spirit Lord will never allow a Serene Spirit Tower that needs the Sacrificial Bear as a sacrifice!”
Soul Slayer did not make a noise.
Wu Jiu then said sneeringly: “Flame Dragon, you did not even have the courage to seek affirmation with the Spirit Lord. Do you think that your words can be trusted?”
Jun Wu Xie was watching Soul Slayer secretly and she then shot a meaningful glance at Qiao Chu and the others.
She had a feeling that Soul Slayer’s answer would definitely not be the one that they wanted to hear.
Having received Jun Wu Xie’s signal, Qiao Chu and the other companions immediately ordered the Yin Yang Bear, the Double Headed Bone Snake and the Great Ape to ring themselves around the Spiritual Bear in a protective circle.
After a long moment of silence, Soul Slayer then finally opened his mouth.
“All Weapon Spirits hear my order!”
Flame Dragon’s heart sank.
“Today we assist the human spirits to capture the Spiritual Bear, in order for the Weapon Spirits to rise. Prepare for battle!”
At the same moment that Soul Slayer’s voice fell, a gleeful smile instantly blossomed on Wu Jiu’s lips.
He had placed the right bet!

The Weapon Spirits mobilized by Soul Slayer immediately charged into the battlefield, coordinating with the human spirits as they moved to surround the Beast Spirits.
“Soul Slayer, are you really going to help Wu Jiu?” Flame Dragon asked as it stared at Soul Slayer in disbelief. Although Flame Dragon was not on all that familiar terms with Soul Slayer, but as the leader of the Weapon Spirits, how could it possibly fall for Wu Jiu’s ploy so easily?
Soul Slayer then replied in an indignant voice: “I am not helping him, but helping the Weapon Spirits ourselves! You Beast Spirits are so numerous in number and have been so used to being in a superior position, and you have been in that position for far too long. The Weapon Spirits are no longer willing to lie low and play second fiddle where the Weapon Spirits shall now finally rise!”
Soul Slayer’s voice had just fallen and it immediately leapt to fly straight towards the battlefield.
Flame Dragon cursed and immediately followed after.
For Soul Slayer to be able to become the Weapon Spirits leader, its might was not to be doubted. If it was allowed to fight the Beast Spirits, the resulting death toll might not be something that Flame Dragon would be able to take.
Wu Jiu stood before his chair as he watched the Weapon Spirits and human spirits push the Beast Spirits into a corner. His eyes were lit with an excited fiery light and everything that was happening before his eyes made it impossible for him to hold back from laughing out aloud.
With the Weapon Spirits on their side, the human spirits no longer had to fear. They all then charged straight at the Beast Spirits with a loud battlecry with the Weapon Spirits beside them!
To protect the Spiritual Bear, all the Beast Spirits let out a Heaven shaking roar. Faced with a combined army that far exceeded their numbers, the Beast Spirits did not show the slightest hesitation as they met the onslaught of the enemies pouncing right upon them!
In a blink…..
Human spirits, Beast Spirits, and Weapon Spirits tangled themselves up before the first Serene Spirit Tower, battlecries, roars, and the unique clanging of metal intertwined together in the air.
The battle among the spirits had no grisly blood, nor was there the nauseating stench of blood, but it still quaked the hearts of people all the same.
The Beast Spirits that were shredded apart let out their final roars, holding firmly onto their beliefs till the last moment, even when their spirit souls dissipated, they did not turn their backs on their Spiritual Bear.
With that belief in their hearts, close to a thousand Beast Spirits held their ground to slash at their enemies, continuously using their fangs, their claws, to tear through every enemy that sought to get close to the Spiritual Bear.
The bloodless battlefield, was however still suffocatingly stirring and tragic. The spirit souls scattering and dispersing into the air quietly, silent and without a sound as they disappeared from the world, not even able to leave behind a corpse…..
Flame Dragon blocked Soul Slayer’s way forward, and the Beast Spirits’ leader and the Weapon Spirits’ then commenced their epic battle.
One side was fighting to defend their spiritual leader, and the other side was seeking to gain might for a gr
eater future. This was a battle that belonged to the two of them, though bitter, but they were fighting strongly, firm in their beliefs.
Within the chaos of battle, Jun Wu Xie directed the black beast to charge and kill off the human spirits and Weapon Spirits lunging at them. The black beast opened its jaws wide, tearing and biting through all the enemies before it and devouring them.
The power Spirit Devour!
This was an unique ability of the Black Beast’s, where it was able to devour any spirit body!
The black beast morphed into a black coloured whirlwind, like a wraith that swept over the battlefield, and wherever it passed, it left behind a trail of spirits who had yet to completely dispersed, to finally scatter into the wind.
Jun Wu Xie had pulled Nalan Shan out from his dangerous spot in the first instance, thinking to open the Soul Binding Chains on Nalan Shan’s hands.
“It’s no use. Without the key, the Soul Binding Chains would….” Nalan Shan was just merely halfway through his sentence when he saw Jun Wu Xie use a fine and tiny little hairpin to ope the Soul Binding Chains’ lock.
With a clatter, the Soul Binding Chains around Nalan Shan’s wrists then fell to land right by his feet…..

“…..” Nalan Shan’s eyes were wide as he stared, looking in disbelief at the Soul Binding Chains that had been opened so easily, incredulity filling up in his eyes.
