Chapter 487: Killing Under the Curtain of the Night
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

After hearing Phil's account, Zhang Che's complexion slowly changed. It turned out that a general of the Bei Mei military was backing the mysterious faction trying to research exotic beast genetic evolution fluid through inhuman means, such as human experimentation!
Not only that, they were obviously very unresigned to their losses!
Alas, Zhang Che hadn't left Hua Xia in recent times. They weren't able to find another chance to strike. They wanted to find an opportunity during this trip to the secret plane to get rid of him.
Zhang Che was sure that if high-tier beastmasters were allowed to enter secret planes, that General Mihill person would probably come himself to kill him!
Speaking of which, Zhang Che never regretted a moment stealing their research information on exotic beast genetic evolution fluid, or even instigating a conflict between them and Nihong's Miyazaki Clan, inciting a huge fight to break out.
Those kinds of organization that employed unscrupulous methods to achieve their purposes, like kidnapping a large number of commoners to conduct human experiments on, he wouldn't have any sympathy no matter how far they fell, or how many times they died.
Zhang Che didn't have the strength to easily kill them all. Otherwise, he would have uprooted them back when he was in Bei Mei!
Now, they were actually looking to murder him, chasing him all the way into the secret plane! How could he possibly take that lying down!?
If this wasn't a fragmented world, with barriers everywhere, and the rainbow crystal coincidentally gaining control over the secret plane, allowing it to control those barriers and restrictions, Zhang Che would have really been in for a shock this time!
Of course, Zhang Che didn't think a few mid-tier beastmasters could hurt him, even though they entered the secret plane equipped with epic-quality beasts like him, as well as having a few secret weapons specially prepared for him.
Phil's confessions went on for close to half an hour. Zhang Che heard everything he wanted to hear. He even heard about the mysterious Bei Mei organization, learning its exact situation.
This could be said to be a blessing in disguise. However, not a single one of the beastmasters sent by the organization could be left alive...

Zhang Che took a last look at Phil, then ordered him to hand over all his beast cards, as well as any other valuables he had. Afterwards, Zhang Che let the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon grab hold of Phil and directly rush out of the floating mountain range, dropping him several thousand meters down into the vast sea below.
He'd be left to his own devices. Zhang Che wasn't willing to kill him personally. There was no reason to dirty his own hands, or pollute his floating mountain range.
Although the sea below also belonged to Zhang Che, surely there were large amounts of sea creatures living in it. That fellow would definitely be swallowed whole by some fierce carnivorous fish. In the end, even his bones would be digested completely!
"Hmm? Not right... If I want to eat fish in the future, what if I accidentally..." At that thought, Zhang Che's expression immediately changed.
-No! I definitely can't let him be eaten by the sea creatures!-
Zhang Che immediately gave the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon a new order, telling him to go capture the black uncle once more. Afterwards, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon directly turned Phil into an ice statue with a blast of cold breath on one of the deserted islands floating on the sea. Not only that, the dragon even dug a hole and buried him on it!
With that, Zhang Che's secret plane wouldn't be polluted, and Phil would even serve as fertilizer for the plants on the island.

"Damn it, why is there a barrier at the edge of the floating mountain?"
On a certain floating mountain, a mixed group of black-skinned and white-skinned beastmasters stood at the side of the mountain, looking at the vast space outside just in front of their eyes, every one of their brows furrowed deeply.
The leader was a man with a head of long brown hair, a pair of deep eyes, and a high nose bridge. He emitted a cold aura as he grumbled harshly, "The most damnable thing is that the barrier only allows entry and not exit. How are we supposed to complete the general's mission like this? Damn it, damn it, damn it!"
"Isn't this better, Leader?" A languid-looking black man at the side smiled."I heard that yellow-skinned monkey is unfathomably strong. Even high-tier beastmasters might not be his match. If we really bump into him, we might not have a very high chance of winning."
"O'Neill is right, Leader. Given our current situation, we can try to look for more treasures in the secret plane, and not be considered to be defying the general's orders. Isn't that great?" a beautiful woman with golden hair chimed in.
The brown-haired man regarded as their leader narrowed his eyes, staring at the two. However, they didn't care at all. He then shifted his gaze to the side. The other three were showing similar looks on their faces.
"Alright. But keep in mind to never say these kind of things again. If the general learns of this, I won't plead for you."
"Okay, relax. We're not that stupid!" the group laughed.
Originally, they were feeling rather dispirited about this mission. Who didn't know that kid from Hua Xia was strong, and possessed a very powerful spiritual sword fragment?
Even though the general had prepared a few secret weapons for them, who knew if they would come in useful? The situation they were currently in was the best possible outcome. They could avoid the mission the general gave them, and could peacefully look for treasures in the secret plane to strengthen themselves. There was simply nothing better!
Since the few of them were holding one another's hands when they stepped into the secret plane's gateway, they appeared at the same place after entering this world. They casually chose to enter the largest floating mountain range near them, which was several dozen square kilometers in area. There should be quite a number of treasures to be found here, right?
"Oh, I wonder where that ass Phil appeared at? He actually came in by himself first! When we return to Mercury, I'll definitely report him to the general!" someone in the team suddenly mentioned.
"Don't bother about him. We have no way to deal with that yellow-skinned monkey anyway. It's not bad to have one less person to share our loot with."
After their discussion, they immediately set out, heading deeper into the floating mountain range and began their treasure-hunting journey.

"This is difficult. The secret plane is so big; where am I going to find those people?" Zhang Che was fretting at the moment. Although he had a rough idea of the situation about those few people through Phil and could recognize them as long as he met them, it wouldn't be easy to actually find them in the huge secret plane.
Zhang Che didn't want to go looking everywhere. Let alone the fact that it would be a waste of time, in addition to having no guarantee of finding them, the secret about him being able to pass through the floating mountain ranges' barriers would be easily exposed.
After all, the beastmasters who entered the secret plane weren't few in number. No matter how careful Zhang Che was, it was impossible for him to avoid the eyes of everyone and go undiscovered.
Suddenly, the entire space turned dark.
It was like the light in a hidden room was suddenly switched off. The bright and clear space turned completely dark directly.
"Hmm, is this the nighttime in this secret plane? The way it came was so strange."
Zhang Che looked around him in shock. It was dark everywhere, with no illumination at all.
It was unlike the previous secret plane, where the sky was covered by a massive stone wall, with countless crystals dotted above like stars, differentiating night and day.
Of course, the secret planes weren't normal worlds, after all. There was no sun; Zhang Che didn't understand how night and day came about in these worlds. So, even if night fell so strangely, he didn't put it to mind.
The only regretful thing was that he had to remain in this floating mountain range to rest, then find a way to look for that General Mihill's subordinates tomorrow.
Those people had to be killed. Putting aside the fact that they were following General Mihill and had committed many evil acts, Zhang Che couldn't let them go just based on the fact that they were looking to kill him.
They didn't have the opportunity to do so this time, but what about in the future?
It would be best if he could weaken his enemies' forces. That way, he'd feel a little less pressure when they clashed.

Zhang Che found a relatively flat area and started preparing for tonight's dinner with the frisky monkey and the elemental queen.
Well, it was the usual roasted meat with spiritual honey. They hadn't gotten sick of eating it yet. As for the future, at the most he'd switch up the flavor.
The elemental queen's skill in roasting meat had truly reached a master's level. Zhang Che guessed that he'd never get sick of eating the spiritual honey roasted meat she prepared!
While the three were gorging themselves, stuffing roasted meat in their mouths, huge changes suddenly occurred in the sky.
A layer of blurry light lit up his surroundings. When Zhang Che looked up, he was surprised to discover that dots of light were quickly pouring down from the skies in many different colors, like a rain of light was falling.
"What's this?" Zhang Che didn't understand what the dots of light were. However, he was happy to enjoy the view while eating.
Whether the rain of light was dangerous or not only mattered to others. The rainbow crystal had complete control over this world. Even if the rain of light could destroy the heavens and earth, it wouldn't be able to do anything to Zhang Che!
—
Unlike Zhang Che's carefree attitude, the other beastmasters furrowed their brows deeply when they saw the sudden rain of light, their expressions becoming extra cautious.
Something had to be up whenever there was an anomaly. This rain of light falling from the whole sky definitely wouldn't be anything good!
"So fast!" someone suddenly cried out in shock.
The rain of light that was high up in the sky suddenly accelerated its descent, quickly shrouding the world below like real light.
Everyone sensed a heavy intent to kill from the rain of light...
