After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

Although he didn't know what it had evolved into, judging from the commotion, it was likely to be at least of Totem Level Quality.

As long as he cultivated it well, Chen Xing's prospects were bound to be limitless, so he wanted to take this opportunity to do Chen Xing a favor.

Little did he know that Elder Qiu would even snatch a part of that favor.

Qiu Shangqing remained unfazed; if a junior like Qin Xuan could see it, how could he not?

The Species that Taotie had evolved into was somewhat incomprehensible to him!

He had studied crocodilian Beast Taming for many years, but this was the first time he encountered a Beast Taming creature of the Quality of the Sky Scar Eye.

He suspected it might even be beyond Totem Level!

One could only say that there might truly be something like fate in this world, not only presenting him with such a method of evolution, but also allowing him to gather the materials needed for the evolution!

Although Qiu's family and Chen Xing had established a significant bond, favors were something he could never have too much of.

Tian Yi coughed, hinting that he could offer a little something as well...

Qin Xuan glared at him, if I can't control Elder Qiu, do you think I can't control you?

Tian Yi's face soured, but he obediently withdrew his gaze and stared straight ahead.

Looking at his retreating figure, Qin Xuan pondered for a moment before finally speaking, "Xiao Tian, I remember your family should have a vial of Snow Ginseng Liquid, right?"

Tian Yi was initially surprised, and then secretly pleased. He didn't have Snow Ginseng Liquid, but he could exchange for it using his merits at the Jin Ye Guard's warehouse.

"Lord Qianhu, my family does indeed have a vial of Snow Ginseng Liquid," Tian Yi replied respectfully.

Qin Xuan nodded slightly; he had already dropped a hint. Smart people didn't need to be told twice.

He hadn't originally intended to get Tian Yi involved, but upon reflection, Tian Yi was one of the witnesses to Chen Xing's Beast Taming evolution.

If he didn't bring him to his side, Tian Yi might talk nonsense once he returned, which could lead to unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, Qin Xuan decided to give Tian Yi an opportunity to curry favor with Chen Xing. With a stake in this matter, Tian Yi naturally wouldn't be willing to divulge the secret so easily before seeing any returns.

Intimidation was ultimately an inferior strategy; binding interests could last long term.

After all, the matter of Chen Xing's Beast Taming evolution was no small event. The stir it created was too great; if word got out, it would inevitably attract the attention of countless people. Thus, it was best to be cautious and keep this matter as hidden as possible.

Chen Xing had intended to purchase the materials needed for Transcendence from the other three at a price higher than the market rate, but they were resolute in their stance. Unable to refuse their terms, Chen Xing ultimately had to book the various materials required from each at half the market price.

This also timely resolved the issue of the materials needed for Taotie's Transcendence, giving Chen Xing some peace of mind.

A day later, the four of them reached a remote city within the Fentian Domain. Qin Xuan took out hats for the three of them to wear and then, after several transfers through the Teleportation Array, they successfully returned to Longbei City.

...

Inside the City Lord's Mansion of Bibo Great City, the atmosphere was heavy.

Six figures filled their seats; an emergency meeting regarding the incident at Blue Shadow City was underway.

The impact of the incident in Blue Shadow City was profound, the circumstances egregious, spreading like wildfire throughout the Bibo Territory.

In just one day, it had become the focus of street gossip.

It was obviously a well-planned, targeted conspiracy.

In the Bibo Territory, as well as other territories, the power structure of Giant Cities follows a similar pattern—a six-seat system.

These six seats represent the highest decision-making power within the Giant City, and their consensus can nearly dictate all important affairs of the Giant City.

These authoritative seats are occupied by the Grand City Lord, the Temple High Priest, the Elders' Council's Senior Elder, the Grand City Guard Commander, the head of the commerce association, and the representative from the noble families.

Among them, the City Lord holds the most weight.

Not only is the City Lord the nominal helmsman of the Giant City, but they also represent the collective interests of the entire city.

The position of Grand City Lord is not hereditary, but is elected by the votes of the official residents of the various Giant Cities.

However, in practice, when expressing opinions and making decisions, the City Lord is often influenced by the five major powers within the city.

The Elders' Council is where the master independent cultivators of the Giant City gather, including representatives of smaller families. Its composition is the most diverse and bloated. This meeting was convened by the Elders' Council.

An entire family along with a city being destroyed was an atrocity that hadn't occurred in the Bibo Territory for nearly thirty years.

"Has the matter in Blue Shadow City been investigated clearly?" Shui Wusheng, the head of noble families sitting at the leftmost seat, asked the military leader.

The Military Lord of the Bibo Territory, Sai Baiqi, was a robust man with skin as white as snow and a head of curly blue hair cascading down, the standard look of a native resident of the Bibo Territory—blue hair and blue eyes.

"Based on the scene, the attackers acted very swiftly and precisely.

Blue Shadow City has almost turned into ruins by now, but it is worth noting that the attackers' primary target was the Dou Family; they did not launch large-scale attacks on the civilians.

This allowed many civilians to escape.

According to our investigation and the survivors' descriptions, the attackers were wearing uniforms similar to those of the Grand City Imperial Guards of Fentian Giant City, and the traces of battle left in the city were mainly those of Fire Element Skills."

Shui Wusheng's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, his eyes deep as if pondering something.

He spoke slowly, his voice conveying a hint of disdain and skepticism, "This framing is far too obvious. If it was a move by Fentian Giant City, why would they wear the uniforms of the Imperial Guards? Isn't that blatantly telling us it was their doing?"
