CHAPTER 476: CHAPTER 346: THE VANISHED INHERITANCE POWER

Since then, the man never left, instead, he took up residence in the Ancient Forest.

Many times, he tried to get intimate with Aguduo, but she always refused him.

"I may not have been raised by parents, but I know that humans and Wild Beasts are different, and such matters should not be conducted rashly without a matchmaker’s arrangement. I often suggested that he leave the Ancient Forest with me to meet his parents. Who knew, he always evaded with various excuses. Until one night, I accidentally found a token from Prince Manor among his clothes. Under my questioning, only then did I learn that his secret to coming to the Ancient Forest was not that simple. It seemed he was here looking for something, and I was merely being used by him."

Speaking up to here, Aguduo’s face showed a pained expression, it was apparent that she genuinely had feelings for the man.

Seeing his identity exposed, the man attempted to sweet-talk his way out, but was taught a lesson by the enraged Aguduo along with the Spiritual Beasts and was driven out of the Ancient Forest.

I thought he would never have the face to return to the Ancient Forest, but unexpectedly, he had always had people monitor every move within the Ancient Forest, and took the chance to sneak in when Aguduo was away.

"Now that I think about it, that Qing Province List booklet might also have been deliberately designed by him, leaving it behind on purpose. Knowing my competitive nature, he described to me a great deal about the Ancient Forest which I longed for, thus I was deceived by him," Aguduo said, her expression growing even more somber.

"It seems the person is Second Young Master from Kaijiang Prince Manor, truly a heartless and ungrateful man. It’s just a pity that Aguduo never clarified his true reason for coming to the Ancient Forest," Lan Cai’er said with a face full of righteous indignation.

Ye Lingyue pondered for a moment, then looked at Aguduo and approached her with Little Zhiyo.

"Aguduo, try and see if you can understand what Little Zhiyo is saying?"

Jin Wu Old Monster and Lan Cai’er both looked baffled.

"Sir?" Aguduo didn’t understand Ye Lingyue’s intention.

"Zhiyo~" Little Zhiyo also looked puzzled, unaware of Ye Lingyue’s intention.

After hearing Little Zhiyo’s call, Aguduo’s face suddenly changed.

"How... how come I can’t understand what Little Zhiyo is saying?" She couldn’t understand the words of both little beasts.

"It seems my speculation was correct, that person from Kaijiang Prince Manor, he must have come for the Hundred Beasts Sect’s spiritual inheritance. Likely, during the time of your interaction, he already knew about the inheritance from the Hundred Beasts Sect, and while you were away, they must have located the site of the Hundred Beasts Sect and tampered with it, causing you to lose the Inheritance Power," Ye Lingyue said with an unprecedented solemn tone.

Aguduo was speechlessly shocked.

Initially, she didn’t believe it, but after several attempts, she realized she could no longer understand the calls of any Spiritual Beast in the forest.

Nor could she command the beasts of the forest like she used to.

Jin Wu Old Monster and Lan Cai’er looked at each other.

"No! I cannot lose the inheritance, otherwise the Ancient Forest and those Spiritual Beasts..."

Even though she had the inheritance of the Hundred Beasts Sect, Aguduo used to see it merely as an aid and never truly realized its significance.

But when she lost it, Aguduo realized that this power was even more important to her than her own life.

Without the Inheritance Power, those Spiritual Beasts became like enemies to her.

"Now is not the time to panic, we need to find a way to prove that my idea is correct. I know very little about the Inheritance Power; it seems I can only ask the three elders of the He Family." Ye Lingyue had already begun to suspect something was wrong when she first heard Lan Cai’er’s words, thinking that the Purple Micro Alabaster Elephant’s obedience to others suggested a problem with Aguduo’s inheritance.

Seeing the changes in Aguduo now confirmed everything.

The priority was to figure out why Aguduo’s inheritance had disappeared without any apparent reason.

Only after finding the reason for the disappearance of the inheritance, could the crisis in the Ancient Forest be resolved and the people from Kaijiang Prince Manor driven out.

After receiving instructions from Ye Lingyue, Boss He and Third Brother He arrived a few days later.

"Boss, long time no see," said Ye Lingyue, surprised that Boss He had also come.

"Thirteenth Young Master, it really has been a long time. I heard from the second and third brothers about the many events that occurred while I was away; I am truly sorry that I couldn’t offer any help," Boss He stated.

On his return, Boss He, seeing Second Brother He’s prosthetic limb, deeply appreciated Ye Lingyue.

So, upon hearing that Ye Lingyue was in trouble, he immediately came.

"The Inheritance Power disappeared? Such things can happen, indeed. In fact, under certain special circumstances, a sect or faction’s Inheritor isn’t necessarily just one person. Like with our Miao Shou Kong Kong Thief Sect’s inheritance, it is shared among us three brothers. Only if one’s strength is absolutely dominant can it strip the inheritance from the others. I think Ms. Aguduo’s inheritance must have been taken away using a special secret technique," Boss He analyzed after hearing everyone out.

According to Boss He, there are a few fundamental conditions required for stripping someone’s inheritance: the other person must also have a talent in Beast Taming and must possess a personal item of Aguduo, which would be used to set up the secret technique.

"That treacherous man once took a strand of my hair while I was asleep in the Ancient Forest; when I caught him, he sweet-talked me, saying that in Beiqing, men and women exchange hair strands when in love, calling it a ’union of hair.’ I was completely blinded by his sweet words at the time; now I realize he had been plotting to steal my inheritance all along," Aguduo recalled bitterly, regretting her past naivety.

"That’s it then. The body’s hair and skin come from one’s parents. Your hair, like your essence blood, was definitely used by him to set up the secret technique. However, this kind of inheritance stripping technique can’t succeed overnight. It requires to be operational for seven days and nights before the Inheritance Power completely disappears. What we need to do now is to disrupt the secret technique before the Inheritance Power completely vanishes. According to my calculations and your situation, there are at most three days left until the technique fully takes effect," Boss He concluded with a sigh of relief.

Within three days, in the vast Ancient Forest, finding the secret technique that strips Inheritance Power is not an easy task.

Apart from the fact that Aguduo currently cannot utilize the powers of the Hundred Beasts, just avoiding the eyes and ears of Kaijiang Prince Manor and the Spiritual Beasts is already very challenging.

"I already have a strategy for locating the site of the secret technique. Aguduo, please remain calm, we need to first find a way to sneak into the ruins of the Hundred Beasts Sect and find a way to break the secret technique," Ye Lingyue pondered briefly, a plan already forming in her mind.
