As Luo Long fell, his five King-tier and one General-tier contracted beasts were all affected by the contract and suffered backlash.
Next, Zheng Dong did not let the Nine-tailed Ghost Fox make a move either.
After all, it was his trump card, to be saved for the most critical moment.
He merely had the Nine-tailed Ghost Fox use its immense aura to influence Luo Long's beasts in battle.
This way, it was easier for him to deal with these beasts using his summoned King-tier undead.
Soon, the battle ended.
All of Luo Long's beasts were killed and transformed into new undead by Zheng Dong.
However, three of the King-tier undead summoned by Zheng Dong also ran out of energy and fell.
Overall, this exchange was not a loss.
On the other side, there were still three other battlefields that had not concluded.
After Zheng Dong's clones led the three Master-tier beast tamers away, they used a large number of undead to block their escape, focusing their attention on Luo Long.
However, it was not too late to deal with them now.
Moreover, Zheng Dong even allowed them to call for help.
Zheng Dong actually hoped that Wei Peng would arrange for another Grandmaster-tier beast tamer to come to the rescue.
Subsequently, Zheng Dong first went to the location of the bald beast tamer.
The bald beast tamer had lost his previous arrogance. He was very depressed now and regretted chasing after Zheng Dong alone.
Along the way, he hadn't even clearly seen the appearance of Zheng Dong's clone.
The further he chased, the more surprised he became.
A beginner beast tamer, without using his beasts, was actually faster than him.
The only thing he could think of was that the other party's beast-taming talent was likely Skill Sharing.
He also greatly desired this beast-taming talent, Skill Sharing.
Unfortunately, he had no idea where Zheng Dong's clone had gone, and he was surrounded by many General-tier undead.
These General-tier undead did not engage him in a desperate fight; they merely entangled him, preventing him from leaving.
He felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
Thus, he tried to contact Luo Long and the other two Master-tier beast tamers.
Only then did he discover that Luo Long could not be reached, and the other two Master-tier beast tamers were in the same situation as him; they had not seen Zheng Dong's appearance clearly before being inexplicably surrounded by a group of General-tier undead.
With no other option, they had to call Wei Peng for help.
Each of them had a specially made communication device that allowed them to contact each other.
Upon receiving their distress messages, Wei Peng immediately frowned.
"Luo Long can't handle it?"
He pondered for a moment, thinking that even if Luo Long encountered an Emperor-tier undead, he would still have a way to escape. It was normal that he couldn't be contacted if he was in a fierce battle with the opponent.
Therefore, he decided to send two more Grandmaster-tier beast tamers to investigate the situation.
"Liu Ming, Zhang Yuan, you two go and check. If there's anything unusual, notify me immediately!"
Liu Ming was a bit thin, wore black-rimmed glasses, and was the youngest and weakest among them. Among his contracted beasts, only two had reached King-tier in growth level.
As for Zhang Yuan, he always had a smiling face and was slightly weaker than Luo Long. Among his contracted beasts, four were King-tier.
The two of them walked out of the valley together.
They did not split up but headed directly to the location where the bald beast tamer had requested help.
They saw that the bald beast tamer's beasts had all been killed, and the bald beast tamer himself was being attacked by a General-tier undead, on the verge of being torn apart.
Liu Ming quickly had his beast, the King-tier Flame Roc, intervene to rescue him.
The Flame Roc used the high-tier skill "Blazing Plains" to incinerate the surrounding General-tier undead and save the bald beast tamer.
"What's going on?" Liu Ming did not tend to the bald beast tamer's injuries but questioned what had happened.
The bald beast tamer did not answer. Instead, he gave a sinister smile to Liu Ming and Zhang Yuan, who were standing in front of him.
Immediately after, a violent explosion sounded, stunning Liu Ming and Zhang Yuan.
Caught off guard, both of them were severely injured.
The bald beast tamer had detonated a miniature forbidden bomb on himself.
This miniature forbidden bomb was left to Zheng Dong by Tu Qionglan. There were two in total, and Zheng Dong had used one previously, leaving only this one.
Of course, the bald beast tamer was also a clone of Zheng Dong in disguise.
Zheng Dong's clone, under the possession of You You's undead clone, had used the high-tier skill "Mimicry Camouflage" to disguise himself as the bald beast tamer.
As for the bald beast tamer himself, he had already fallen before Liu Ming and Zhang Yuan arrived.
Following this, the King-tier undead controlled by Zheng Dong launched a widespread attack on Liu Ming and Zhang Yuan.
This was not a direct confrontation, so attacking the beast tamers was the best option.
Liu Ming was killed on the spot.
However, Zhang Yuan managed to escape.
Zhang Yuan had maintained a state of possession with a King-tier Dark Night Phantom, which allowed him to survive, but he was still severely injured.
He dared not linger any longer and fled in a hurry.
Unfortunately, there were undead everywhere.
Moreover, Zheng Dong brought out the Nine-tailed Ghost Fox again to intimidate them.
This terrified Zhang Yuan even more, and he quickly called Wei Peng for help.
However, Zheng Dong did not give him much time. After he finished requesting reinforcements, he did not hesitate to expend a few more King-tier undead to quickly finish him off.
After dealing with Zhang Yuan, Zheng Dong had lost a total of nine King-tier undead.
Fortunately, after the King-tier beasts of Liu Ming and Zhang Yuan died, they could be converted into new undead, which could replenish some of the consumption.
Next, he had to face Wei Peng.
Zheng Dong was not in a hurry, waiting to see if Wei Peng would come out voluntarily.
While inventorying the spoils of war, he instructed Xiao Zi and his clones to keep an eye on the movements within the valley.
Although the three Grandmaster-tier beast tamers and three Master-tier beast tamers had been dealt with, the gains were not very substantial.
These people did not carry all their wealth with them.
However, each of them had quite a few resources to replenish their physical and mental energy.
These just happened to compensate for Zheng Dong's consumption.
In addition to this, Zheng Dong also obtained a bottle of Memory Droplets.
This item was from Luo Long.
It was unclear whether he was planning to use it himself due to his age or if it was prepared for his family.
Memory Droplets could grant the user the ability to have photographic memory.
However, one Memory Droplet could only last for fifteen minutes.
The bottle Zheng Dong obtained contained only about a hundred drops, worth over thirty million.
If he used these Memory Droplets, Zheng Dong might quickly become a top student.
Within the valley, Wei Peng received another distress message from Zhang Yuan.
He immediately knew that this matter was not simple.
It did not seem like the work of an Emperor-tier undead; someone must be pulling the strings from behind the scenes.
Who could it be?
Ordinary organizations would not dare to oppose the Spirit God Cult.
Wei Peng could not think of anyone he had offended.
He still had one Grandmaster-tier beast tamer by his side. He did not intend to go out; he wanted to see who dared to stir up trouble.
Immediately, Wei Peng stopped further awakening of undead and called for everyone to defend with all their might.
On Zheng Dong's side, seeing no movement from the valley, he drove the undead to launch a large-scale attack. The dense undead, like waves of surging tides, continuously impacted the defenses.
Many mechanical life guards defending the valley did not last long before they all fell. With this, it became even more difficult for the remaining beast tamers to resist the undead army.
Wei Peng had no choice but to summon all his beasts and join the battle to help resist the undead army.
This also made him very depressed and frustrated.
He had risen to the position of head of the Spirit God Cult in the capital and had participated in hundreds of battles, big and small. This was the first time he had suffered such heavy losses without even seeing the opponent's face.
This was simply an insult to him.
Thus, he could not help but roar:
"Bastard, who exactly wants my Wei Peng's life? If you have the guts, stand out!"
Not long after his words fell,
Zheng Dong's figure appeared amidst the undead army, looking at Wei Peng from afar.
His goal was simple: to completely enrage Wei Peng and make him lose his reason.
Of course, this was just a clone, and he was not afraid of Wei Peng suddenly attacking him.
He said calmly:
"It's me!"
His voice was not loud, but Wei Peng heard it clearly.
Wei Peng narrowed his eyes, staring at Zheng Dong.
He did not believe that a beginner beast tamer could command over a million undead.
"Little thing, are you worthy?"
The last few words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
He had already concluded that Zheng Dong had someone behind him and decided to teach that person a lesson. Thus, he directly attacked, intending to eliminate Zheng Dong's clone.
Wei Peng was currently in a state of possession with the King-tier Abyss Mantis.
This state allowed him to use the Abyss Mantis's skills.
He waved his hand, and the high-tier skill "Space Cutter" directly sliced Zheng Dong's clone into countless pieces.
Damn, that's brutal!
Zheng Dong frowned. Fortunately, it was a clone; if it were his main body, he would probably be in a bad situation too.
However, Zheng Dong did not panic.
Another of his clones appeared and mocked:
"Old man, you're nothing special either!"
Wei Peng's eyes widened as he stared intently at this scene, realizing he had been tricked again. He had not realized that it was a clone of Zheng Dong, nor had he expected Zheng Dong to have cultivated Shadow Clones to the Master level.
Enraged, he attacked again, immediately eliminating another of Zheng Dong's clones.
Unfortunately, Zheng Dong's clones seemed to appear endlessly, like a flowing stream. As soon as he eliminated one, another would appear.
This caused Wei Peng to continuously use Space Cutter. Just as he was about to fall into a state of madness due to anger, he suddenly stopped and vanished from his spot.
Immediately after, he appeared about ten meters away from Zheng Dong's main body.
In fact, relying on his years of combat experience, he had already realized that Zheng Dong was deliberately trying to provoke him. Thus, he played along and secretly searched for Zheng Dong's main body's location.
His Abyss Mantis mastered the high-tier skill "Soul Tracker," which could track down the main body step by step through clones.
Therefore, he directly used Space Teleportation and appeared before Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong was startled, very surprised that Wei Peng had found him.
As expected, Grandmaster-tier beast tamers could not be underestimated.
The reason he could deal with Luo Long and the others before was because of their carelessness and because he had taken them by surprise, using sneak attacks and ambushes. He had dealt with them before they could react.
But now that Wei Peng was on guard, the previous methods would not work.
However, Zheng Dong was not flustered at all.
His main body had not entered the valley with the undead army to attack, but was hiding outside the valley, secretly controlling the undead army.
This way, although Wei Peng had intercepted him using Space Teleportation, it also meant that Wei Peng was far from his other beasts and the other Grandmaster-tier beast tamer.
In other words, the only thing Wei Peng could rely on was the King-tier Abyss Mantis in its possessed state.
In this situation, it was still uncertain who would kill whom.
Wei Peng looked at Zheng Dong with murderous intent.
Before rushing over, he had used perception-type skills to scan Zheng Dong's surroundings, confirming that there were no other beast tamers ambushing him before he confidently used Space Teleportation.
Therefore, he was very confident and mocked:
"You want to enrage me to create an opportunity for the person behind you? Unfortunately, I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, what tricks haven't I seen?
You even dare to show off in front of me, you're simply courting death!
Now, I'll give you a chance, quickly ask the person behind you for help, and I can still give you a quick death!"
Seeing Wei Peng's confident demeanor, Zheng Dong found it quite amusing.
Old man, you probably haven't figured out the situation yet!
Although Zheng Dong had driven most of the undead into the valley, he still had three undead puppets in his hand: the General-tier Skeleton General, the King-tier Hell Bull Demon, and the Emperor-tier Nine-tailed Ghost Fox.
With You You's undead enhancement, the Nine-tailed Ghost Fox alone could unleash a high-tier skill attack, which was more than enough to deal with Wei Peng.
However, Zheng Dong also had to be careful that Wei Peng didn't escape.
Wei Peng's Abyss Mantis had dual attributes of Undead and Space, and mastered Space Teleportation, allowing it to escape in an instant.
Therefore, he had to act quickly and decisively.
After figuring this out, Zheng Dong first released the General-tier Skeleton General.
Of course, he wasn't asking the Skeleton General to fight to the death, but to make Wei Peng let down his guard.
Wei Peng was stunned when he saw the appearing undead puppet, the Skeleton General, and then sneered.
"Is this your trump card? As a beginner beast tamer, being able to control a General-tier undead puppet is indeed quite impressive.
But this thing is nothing in front of me!"
As Wei Peng spoke, he used Space Cutter again, cutting the Skeleton General into five pieces. The Skeleton General immediately lost its combat effectiveness, its limbs, torso, and head completely separated.
If it weren't for it being an undead, the Skeleton General would likely have been sacrificed.
After dealing with the Skeleton General, Wei Peng prepared to attack Zheng Dong, wanting to force the identity of the person he believed to be behind everything from Zheng Dong's mouth.
He then prepared to use Space Restraint.
However, Zheng Dong's movements were faster.
He released the Nine-tailed Ghost Fox, which had already been enhanced by You You and was ready with the high-tier skill "Ghost Fox World Annihilation."
Therefore, it unleashed its ultimate move as soon as it appeared.
Before Wei Peng could even react in surprise, he was pounced on by the Nine-tailed Ghost Fox, which was engulfed in raging ghost fire.
The terrifying power unleashed by the Nine-tailed Ghost Fox caused the ground to continuously collapse, forming a massive pit filled with cracks, bottomless.
Wei Peng and his beast, the Abyss Mantis, were both severely injured, forced to break their possession state.
But this was not the end.
Next, Zheng Dong released the King-tier Hell Bull Demon.
The Hell Bull Demon unleashed "Death Stomp" and furiously attacked the severely injured Abyss Mantis. The frustrated Abyss Mantis, unable to use Space Teleportation in time, died on the spot.
By the time Wei Peng came to his senses, the battle was already over.
He was completely dumbfounded!
He felt as if he were dreaming.
He refused to believe that a beginner beast tamer possessed an Emperor-tier Nine-tailed Ghost Fox undead puppet.
Although this Nine-tailed Ghost Fox collapsed on the ground after its burst of power, becoming even more useless than before, the power it unleashed was indeed Emperor-tier power!
"You... Who exactly are you?"
Zheng Dong ignored Wei Peng, considering whether to capture him alive or kill him directly.
If he were to capture him alive, he did have the sealing bracelet given by Tu Qionglan.
However, if Wei Peng did not die, his beasts would be difficult to deal with.
Moreover, there was still a Grandmaster-tier beast tamer in the valley.
