After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

It was like a believer arriving at an ancient temple a thousand years old, the solemn and austere atmosphere involuntarily inspiring awe in the faithful.

"Hehe," Taotie grinned with a silly smile.

Gone was the dignified and domineering appearance from before.

The little trick it had recently figured out

was like a racial instinct, growing as its Energy Level kept rising.

Sometimes, it would mysteriously sense certain special abilities,

It had asked its master, who said it might be due to ancestral inheritance and told it not to worry.

So Taotie didn't worry.

For example, the bloodline's intimidating ability it utilized just now was a trick it mastered after breaking through the 121 Energy Level.

It felt it was rather useless since the meat in the bowl wouldn't fly into its mouth after using it.

However, after deploying it just now, that little earthworm and insect stayed put for quite awhile, which seemed quite amusing.

It also bought it time for a second-stage damage stack from the Eye of the Firmament.

Under the Eye of the Firmament's thunderous punishment, the little earthworm and insect were blasted into powder.

"Next time, remember to leave a whole corpse," Chen Xing felt somewhat regretful that the person Taotie killed just now was likely Chi Xie, the Seventh Elder of the Chi Family from Jiu Chi City stationed here.

There must be many valuable things inside Chi Xie's Storage Ornament.

After all, his status was the highest.

But there were still gains to be had. Chen Xing looked back down as Sìxiàng threw a woman onto the ground.

After her Beast Taming butterfly's soul was devoured by Sìxiàng's Dark Realm gate, her Beast Tamer summoned two more beasts, but Sìxiàng killed them one after another.

Chen Xing leaped down from hundreds of meters in the air.

His body half-crouched as he landed next to the woman.

Chen Xing asked indifferently, "Do you want to die or live?"

"I want to live," the woman answered honestly.

"Name?"

"Chi Meng."

"Age."

"68."

"What species were the Beast Taming creatures you summoned just now?"

"Fool's Bone Illusion Butterfly, Asura Thorn Demon Fish, Golden Silkworm Demon Insect," she replied.

She wasn't lying.

Chen Xing could see the interface and naturally knew the species of the three beasts earlier.

Then Chen Xing inquired about the Energy Level of the three beasts.

Chi Meng listed them, "145, 142, 134."

"What is your position in the Chi Family?"

Chi Meng replied, "My father is the Third Elder of the Chi Family. I don't have a specific position, but with the recent turmoil in the family, I was appointed to inspect this Resource Point."

"Are there other inspectors besides you?"

"Yes, many in the family like me who usually don't have specific assignments are serving as inspectors, but I am the only one in this area."

Chen Xing didn't fully believe what she said. He simply asked what he wanted to know and took her answers into consideration.

"Do you have more beasts?"

Seemingly caught off-guard by Chen Xing's question, Chi Meng panicked for a moment. She hesitated briefly but soon realized, with her hesitation just now, she had already exposed the answer.

Immediately with a bitter smile, "Yes, one more."

Chi Meng was somewhat frantic.

Indeed, she had one more Transcendent beast.

But this Transcendent beast had only just achieved Transcendence, having a mere 102 Energy Level.

Even though it was very low compared to what she had before, and couldn't even be considered a second-line main force,

it was only seen as a reserve beast being nurtured.

But after all, it was still a Transcendent beast. If she didn't have even this one,

everything she had would turn to ashes.

But... she was now merely a prisoner.

She had no right to bargain.

With this in mind, Chi Meng bit her lip, raised her head to look at Chen Xing, and placed her hands on the collar of her clothes, slowly starting to pull them down...

"Stop!"

Chen Xing hurriedly stopped the grandmother.

"I am not interested in you."

"You just need to honestly answer my questions." Stay connected with empire

After finishing speaking, Chen Xing said with a smile, "I'm quite interested in the strength of your Chi Family members. Can you help me clear up my confusion?"

Chi Meng took a deep breath. If this news leaked out, she would definitely be considered a traitor to her family.

If the Law Enforcement Hall in her family found out, her fate would be worse than death.

"You swear, after I tell you, you'll let me leave," Chi Meng said.

"Okay, I swear. After you tell me the secrets of your family members' strengths, I will not kill you."

Chi Meng didn't really believe him, but she had no other choice.

When faced with life and death, many people don't know what their real choices are.

Before this, Chi Meng had imagined this day, and at that time, she thought she would definitely keep mum, but when the day actually came, she shamefully discovered she didn't have that kind of courage...

"Our family, to my knowledge, has six Supreme Elders, openly has twelve Elders, but in reality, there are at least ten Beast Tamers with the strength of Elders."

Chen Xing asked, "What kind of strength does a Supreme Elder have? What about an Elder?"

"Among the Supreme Elders, the good and the bad are intermingled. Although there are six, only three truly have a say, all three of their Beast Taming strengths have surpassed Transcendence Seventh Level, while the other three became Supreme Elders due to their contributions. Their Beast Taming didn't reach Transcendence Seventh Level at that time... I'm not sure if they have now."

"As long as one has reached Transcendence Fifth Level, he is eligible to compete for an Elder position. The Elder positions are fixed, a total of twelve seats. Elders are usually the spokespersons picked by their lineage, requiring not only strength but also status and seniority."

"Besides Elders, the family also has the Law Enforcement Hall, the External Divine Army, and various Patrons."

Chen Xing had a headache listening to all this.

What's this all about...

"Just tell me how many Beast Tamers of each level your family has."

Chi Meng secretly calculated in her heart. After a while, she gave a number, "More than five hundred at Transcendence's initial stage, more than one hundred at the intermediate stage, and more than ten at the advanced stage."

"Chen Xing knew that the initial, intermediate, and advanced stages of Transcendence mentioned by Chi Meng referred to the three levels of 1-3, 4-6, and 7-9, respectively."

In the Exotic Region, they like to refer to these realms in this manner.

In Jiu Chi City, they are referred to by those from the Exotic Region as the peak of Transcendence.

"Do your family have any at the peak of Transcendence?"

Chi Meng shook her head weakly and said, "I don't know."

Chen Xing's eyes were profound. "Do you really not know?"

"I really don't know." Chi Meng shook her head frantically; although she was a daughter of the Seventh Elder, the Seventh Elder had numerous children.

She was outstanding, but as a woman, not to mention that her nominal father had even more sons.

Her father had lived more than two hundred years, had many children in his lifetime, so her status only allowed her to know some not-so-secret information about the family.

As for the secretive information like whether they had any at the peak of Transcendence, she had no clue.

Chen Xing sighed, "Then what use is there to keep you?"

Chi Meng's expression changed, and she said in panic, "You promised me earlier, as long as I tell you, you wouldn't—"

Boom!

Sìxiàng retracted its claws.

Chen Xing looked at Chi Meng's fallen body.

He said silently in his heart: I promised I wouldn't kill you, but I didn't say Sìxiàng wouldn't kill you; Sìxiàng didn't promise.

"Let's go."

From Chi Meng's expression just now, he knew the information she knew was not too secretive.

He bent down and took the Storage Ornament off her wrist.

"Let's go, we're getting out of here."

Chen Xing retrieved Taotie, and Sìxiàng waved his hand.

Taking Chen Xing out of the Dark Realm.

Into the real world.

The battle around them was nearing its end.

With a determined mind against the distracted, and with Chen Xing having dealt with the strongest defender here.

If they still couldn't win the battle, then Chen Xing would really think it would be better to work alone rather than with this group.

As it turned out, they did not disappoint him.

The battle was essentially over, and the surrounding buildings had been destroyed.

The ground was pitted with holes everywhere, with captured Beast Tamers squatting on the ground.

Some workers were squatting nearby.

Chen Xing looked around and waved to someone not far away.

Zhao Guangming ran over quickly, "Is it done?"

He was asking about Chi Xie.

Before coming here, they had already gathered intelligence that Chi Xie was most likely located in the basement of that building.

Hence, Chen Xing went straight to face the enemy leader.

"It's done."

"Let's tally up the loot here."
