### Chapter 518: Go, Caged Beast Ring!
“Uh… Ahhh!!”
Starfire Bloom twisted her body painfully in the air, fear flashing in her eyes.
In that moment, she truly felt the taste of destruction; if that blazing sun really erupted, she would be completely finished.
“Can I admit my mistake? Is it still possible to reconcile now?”
“Hmph!!”
Zhou Tong sneered coldly, his gaze icy as he stared at her without a word.
A moment later, he stretched out his palm and snapped his fingers lightly, causing the sun in her eyes to extinguish instantly.
“Phew…”
“Finally survived…”
Starfire Bloom patted her flat chest, still shaken, and gave Zhou Tong a standard smile.
“Thank you, Big Brother, for your mercy! If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now.”
At this moment, she fully realized that the person before her was a monster she couldn’t provoke. To avoid him setting his sights on her, the first thing she needed to do was to retreat.
“Did I let you leave?”
Zhou Tong’s cold voice made her shiver.
“You were supposed to die, but since you are a spiritual being and have just gained consciousness, lacking understanding of human emotions, I spared your life. However, this does not mean you can escape your guilt.”
Before his words faded, Zhou Tong walked toward her.
“Let your body repay the debt!”
As soon as this was said, even Fire Heart, watching from a distance, changed her expression dramatically, thinking Zhou Tong couldn’t possibly be that twisted, intending to harm such a small girl?
But then she reconsidered; given the girl’s unique constitution, capable of transforming into various forms, it was indeed very tempting.
“Elder, don’t make a mistake, or the Grand Master will be angry!”
Fire Heart whispered, quickly meeting Zhou Tong’s sharp gaze, and hurriedly closed her mouth.
“Alright, now you must pay the price.” Zhou Tong fixed his gaze on Starfire Bloom.
“You perverted monster, I will never do as you wish! We’ll never meet again!”
In the next moment, she plummeted toward the ground at high speed, transforming in mid-air into a pile of soil, quickly merging into the earth.
“Hahaha, now I’ve fused with the earth! Boundless and limitless, almost equivalent to the Earth’s Veins; you will never catch me now, nyanyanyan…”
The mocking voice echoed throughout the space, but Zhou Tong remained expressionless, silently uttering two words to the void.
“Draw her!!”
With his words, a crisp sound emanated from the ground below, relentless and mixed with Starfire Bloom’s cries.
“Ouch, that hurts… Who are you, Uncle!!”
“I am the Earth’s Veins!”
It turned out that a counterfeit could not compete with the real deal; in mere moments, she was dragged back out, returning to Zhou Tong’s presence.
“Long time no see.”
Zhou Tong glanced sideways at her, his gaze filled with amusement.
“I…”
Starfire Bloom felt her scalp tingle and was about to tear open a space to leave, but in the next moment, she felt her entire body bind tightly, the air around her creating tremendous resistance, making it impossible for her to move.
“Go!”
Suddenly, several dark stones emerged behind Zhou Tong; these were the Beast Suppression Stones, transformed into five rings through the forging of the Tool Creation Heavenly Tablet.
Under Zhou Tong’s command, the Beast Suppression Rings flew out, slipping onto Starfire Bloom’s neck and wrists and ankles, then tightening forcefully, leaving her pallid.
“What… what is this?!”
Once she regained her freedom, she desperately tried to remove the Beast Suppression Rings, but no matter how she transformed, the five rings always followed her, changing size but never letting her escape!
“Combine!”
Zhou Tong made hand seals and recited the scriptures, making the Beast Suppression Rings glow, causing Starfire Bloom to emit a helpless scream. The next moment, she was fixed in place, her cultivation sealed, rendered powerless.
“What… what did you do to me… Hurry and take these annoying rings off!”
She struggled desperately, tears nearly falling from her eyes.
At that moment, she wished she could die; she had initially wanted to treat Zhou Tong as a delicacy, but instead, she kicked a steel plate.
Now she was someone else’s prisoner, having lost her freedom, and perhaps even her life was at stake.
“Do you wish to be destroyed? If so, I can fulfill that wish right now.”
Zhou Tong’s palm glowed with a bright light, which was the power of the Void First; this move could completely annihilate Starfire Bloom.
In an instant, she fell silent, looking at Zhou Tong with fear.
“What… what do I need to do to gain my freedom?” she asked nervously.
“Hmm… let me think. After all, you currently have significant value. Returning you to your original form would benefit me more.”
As soon as these words came out, Starfire Bloom visibly trembled, quickly adopting a pitiful expression.
“Please, Big Brother, don’t kill me, okay? I can do anything!”
“You really think of yourself first!”
Zhou Tong shot her a sidelong glance, expressing his true demands: “I won’t kill you, but you must be my subordinate until the Hundred Sects Convention ends. Once that time comes, I can return your freedom!”
“Really?”
It’s a promise; I can establish a pact with you.
“That would be great!”
Excitement flickered across the tear-streaked little girl’s face; Zhou Tong taking the initiative to sign a pact represented that he was a trustworthy person, making her feel at ease.
Under the witness of the Earth’s Veins and Fire Heart, the two finalized their pact.
However, observing this scene, the two witnesses felt something strange; they had witnessed Zhou Tong’s “pact spirit” before. It couldn’t be said there wasn’t any, but it was hard to explain.
For a moment, both felt a twinge of pity for Starfire Bloom.
“Finally resolved the trouble of the Heavenly Fire Sacred Ground; it seems this time we truly came at the right time.”
Zhou Tong stretched his limbs; not only had he wiped out a top puppet force of the Demonic Race, but he also killed two members of the Royal Family’s guard, and gained a little follower. Overall, it was a profit.
“I didn’t expect the situation here to be so complicated; fortunately, we haven’t wasted much time. We must hurry to the Heavenly Gu Clan’s ancestral land; the situation there changes rapidly, and we cannot afford to delay for a moment.”
The Earth’s Veins reminded him, causing Zhou Tong’s expression to become serious instantly.
“How far is it from here?”
“Thirty thousand miles to the northwest!” the Earth’s Veins said succinctly.
“I got it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze turned toward Starfire Bloom, making her tense up.
“Now it’s your time to perform; do well!”
“Hmm…”
The little girl pouted, recalling unwillingly.
The next moment, she drew a circle in the void, directly opening a spatial tunnel.
“A perfectly executed spatial transfer formation; it seems you’ve fully mastered the Tool Creation Heavenly Tablet; very good!”
Without saying another word, Zhou Tong took the lead and jumped in.
Fire Heart, holding the Fire Enchantress Clan little girl, followed without hesitation. Soon after, Starfire Bloom and the Earth’s Veins leaped into the formation in succession.
