Looking at the figures of Alamos and the others leaving, Li Daqian couldn't shake off his hatred.
Evolvers in the apocalypse naturally wouldn't be that obedient. When the people in the Spartitu space came out, many of them wanted to try and see if they could kill each other. However, both sides had somewhat balanced strengths; after observing each other, they ultimately did not engage in battle. As for the equipment used to control battle beasts that Wen Yan had taken, it had already been returned. But the large beast pool in the Ten Thousand Beast Manor had been temporarily sealed by these people using methods unknown, and it wouldn't be unsealed until half a day later. Even Li Daqian, who was most eager to eliminate these individuals, had no choice but to remain silent.
This time, the ambush had caused severe losses for the Ten Thousand Beast Manor. A considerable number of traitors had left it almost defenseless. Alamos and the others brought a battle team that nearly destroyed half of the place. While these experts fought in the space, the outside was also in a fierce battle, with many areas being destroyed by the uncontrollable abilities of the evolvers. If it hadn't been for Xia Bai and the red dress guard coming out early to help stabilize the situation, the entire manor might have been doomed.
Therefore, Li Daqian’s attitude toward Ye Zhongming was the best among everyone.
Although the manor was destroyed, the core area remained relatively intact. With the absence of outside interference, the surviving individuals quickly stabilized the situation and began to recover and repair the place.
Li Daqian handed his son over to several heads of the manor before taking Ye Zhongming, water steward Ruan Xiao, Guan Cheng Village, and other power leaders to a mysterious mountain.
Following a wide passage, they descended to a depth of several hundred meters within the mountain. At the bottom level, there was a stone hall with nothing but a stone coffin in the center.
Li Daqian was accompanied by a few blood relatives, all of whom were at the seven-star level. No one looked down on them, as they could summon the top-ranked battle beast in the national district, Chisel Fang, along with the colorful giant bear, whose eighth-level strength drew attention.
Only with this did Li Daqian feel a sense of security.
"This is it."
The master of the manor slightly regained his imposing aura, burying his worries about his son deep inside.
Ye Zhongming and the others walked over and looked into the stone coffin.
Inside lay a corpse.
At first, no one pursued the identity of this lifeform, as they were all captivated by the silver magic crystal on the forehead of the corpse.
Ninth-level!
Indeed, the Ten Thousand Beast Manor had really killed a ninth-level mutated lifeform.
"This is..." Li Daqian said two words but suddenly realized the name was something they had given it. After thinking for a moment, he decided to use the name given by the evolvers within the activity range of this creature—Mantis Seize.
"I can’t figure out whether it’s a variant of some lifeform from Earth or one of those suddenly appearing monsters. In any case, it's a ninth-level lifeform, and it's dead."
As he said this, a sense of pride surged in the hearts of Li Daqian and his subordinates.
In terms of power, they might not compare to Cloud Summit Villa, Five Rings Society, or the Ogre Chain. In terms of personal combat ability, Li Daqian was quite sure he couldn't defeat Ye Zhongming, at most being on par with water steward and Ruan Xiao.
But the first person in the national district to kill a ninth-level lifeform was the Ten Thousand Beast Manor!
What he did not know was that Ye Zhongming had already completed the killing of the Holy Father in the secret realm with his subordinates and the posthumous child. It was just that the deadly blow from the Holy Father came from the inner lever of the Sanctuary, so those from Cloud Summit did not feel that they had killed the ninth-level being and had never proclaimed it.
