The Ninth Sister is a Prodigious Beast Master-Chapter 1608 - : The Demonic Source Stone was stolen?
Chapter 1608: Chapter 1608: The Demonic Source Stone was stolen?
Zhang Xi’s face was red, and his neck bulged as he confronted a man dressed in short bandit-like attire, with a face full of horizontal flesh and a group of underlings behind him, “This Demonic Source Stone was clearly given to me by my second brother, what right do you have to claim it as yours?”
Zhang Xi, the Young Master of Wuling Sect, believed in the saying, “A single copper coin can bring down a noble man,” and if he wasn’t short on funds at the moment, how could he possibly have gotten involved in this mess? He was not one to quarrel with others.
Seeing the situation, members of Wuling Sect also rushed forward, “Who are you? Don’t falsely accuse others. Our Young Master would steal from you? Have you no shame?”
“Eh! Now someone dares to defy me to my face?” The man with the bandit’s appearance was none other than Huang Batian, notorious in Mandala Land for his strength. His sister was a favored concubine of Mandala City’s City Lord, usually even the Guard Army of Mandala City would not dare to provoke him lightly. “It seems you won’t be passing through Mandala City anymore. This Demonic Source Stone was clearly bestowed upon me by my brother-in-law, and you dared to steal it from me.”
Huh!
People around took a deep breath, thinking they had really encountered a thief, but as it turned out, here was the full story. At this point, no one would believe Zhang Xi was a thief unless they were out of their mind. If Zhang Xi had really stolen the Demonic Source Stone, he absolutely would not have sent it to the hands of Mandala City’s Guard Army.
It seemed that Huang Batian was bullying someone again.
The furrowed brows of the guard captain indicated his discomfort. Huang Batian used to commit his misdeeds covertly, but now he was doing so openly? No wonder, the size of the Demonic Source Stone would incite greed in anyone. But did Huang Batian no longer care to give the City Lord face?

In front of so many people, what face would Mandala City have left?
However, for the guard captain to call out Huang Batian’s lies to his face would be akin to asking for a death wish. Everyone knew that the City Lord’s concubine had borne him three sons in one go, while the City Lord’s wife only had a daughter.
Just then, a clear and beautiful voice rang out, “What’s going on?”
Everyone saw a girl in a yellow chiffon dress, holding a pair of short swords, walking over. Her gaze lingered on Beiting Huang’s face for a moment before her brows furrowed and she stared at Huang Batian, “Tell your men to leave, what are they doing crowding around here?”
Huang Batian’s eyes roved over the girl lecherously, and he said with a smile, “Miss, you must not have heard. A couple of days ago, your father, the City Lord, bestowed upon me a Demonic Source Stone, and this kid stole it right after. This brat is so audacious, carrying this Demonic Source Stone to find Guard Captain Sun, wanting to use the Teleportation Formation. Tell me, has there ever been someone so foolish?”
This girl was the legitimate daughter of the City Lord’s wife, the young lady of Mandala City.
Guard Captain Sun was currently the guard captain holding the Demonic Source Stone, and he respectfully bowed to the young lady, yet said nothing. He could not afford to offend either party; his duty was only to manage the Teleportation Formation, not to interrogate thieves.
However, Zhang Xi was furious, “Don’t spout nonsense. This Demonic Source Stone is clearly my second brother’s. You see money and become covetous, even going so far as to slander others.”
“You say it’s your second brother’s, but who is your second brother? What ability does he have to get such a large Demonic Source Stone?” Huang Batian mocked, and with that, he reached out his hand to snatch the Demonic Source Stone from Guard Captain Sun.
His hand stretched out, only to grasp at air. Another hand, as fair as Qin Chong’s, was quicker and grabbed the Demonic Source Stone first.
