After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

After all, the vast Ember Organization always needs a figurehead to uphold its framework.

But the news Chen Xing received seemed like an opportunity.

Chen Xing, with gleaming eyes, "Do you think, with Jiu Chi City suffering so much recently, the Chi Family from Fentian Giant City will send support? After all, this is their clan's territory."

Zhao Guangming thought Chen Xing's idea was bold, "The Giant City is controlled jointly by five powers, and within those powers, the Chi Family doesn't have absolute say. They can at most make suggestions. How could they possibly influence the entire Giant City's decisions? Moreover, the current situation can't afford Fentian Giant City to divide its forces."

Chen Xing felt that Zhao Guangming also made sense.

The Chi Family, not being the 'Celestial Dragon People' of Fentian Giant City, could at most put forth their suggestions in significant decisions. How could they possibly shake the 'foundation of the state'?"

Great Xia had stationed a million troops at the border, like a sharp sword pointed northward.

At such a critical juncture, how could Fentian Giant City possibly afford to divide its troops to protect its subordinates?

Normally, it should be Jiu Chi City sending Beast Tamers to support Fentian Giant City.

Otherwise, wouldn't that be turning Tiangang on its head?

Chen Xing looked at the rippling lake surface, "Brother Zhao, there are mineral veins under this water. Do you think we could take a chance? These veins remain unmined, and it's rather irritating."

Zhao Guangming said, "The veins are underwater; they need Water Element Beasts to be mined. The aftermath of the recent battle scared away all the nearby lake-bottom beasts. Who knows where they're hiding now; without miners, they can't be mined."

"What about the Beast Tamers of those underwater beasts?"

Zhao Guangming said, "There are no Beast Tamers; these creatures are just tamed monsters, albeit rather human-like."

Ordinary Beast Tamers wouldn't let their beasts become mere slaves.

Chen Xing pondered; these tamed creatures were somewhat like the little dogs he raised.

...

Almost at the same time.

In the ancient bronze mountains north of Jiu Chi City, a fierce war erupted.

"Roar!"

The sky was dyed vermilion.

Blazing furiously, the giant mountains turned into fiery peaks, and a Vermilion Phoenix in the sky spread its wings, its sharp cries piercing the clouds.

The Phoenix tried to escape, but from the mountain peaks around, several dark red fierce spiders spewed webs, forming a giant net that tightly bound the Phoenix.

In front of the Phoenix, a red-haired Beast Tamer glared with bloodshot eyes filled with hatred at the opposing Beast Tamer, "Chi Yu, you exterminated my clan. I've waited a full hundred years for today. Today, I'll ensure your soul is utterly scattered."

"Earth Web Army!"

Above the phoenix, the floating Beast Tamer sneered savagely, "Great Xia's Jin Ye Guard's Earth Web Army! Yan Huo, you actually colluded with the people of Great Xia. Who else but Great Xia could possess the Earth Web spiders in this region? You've colluded with Great Xia. According to the rules, not just you, but your entire family behind you will have to perish with you!"

"What Great Xia, I don't know at all," Yan Huo scoffed. "I fished these Earth Web spiders out of the water."

"Nonsense!" Chi Yu's face turned crimson, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

Earth Web spiders are beasts with both fire and earth attributes; how could they possibly be found in water?

Wait, most importantly, these Earth Web spiders are all Transcendence.

You fished an entire squad of Transcendence Earth Web spiders out of the water?

Lying shouldn't require such childish methods.

Yan Huo sneered.

He had purposely said that, yes, everyone knows the truth, but so what? As long as he didn't admit it outright, what others believe or not doesn't really matter.

Over the years, the internal struggles within Fentian Giant City have been constant, especially among the families within the city, exploiting the city's influence to bleed the world.

In the Fentian Domain, there's a bitter joke, that as soon as someone discovers a precious mineral vein in your territory, Chi Family members will automatically spawn nearby.

Originally, his family found a precious mineral Resource Point, and because a traitor leaked the information, it led the Chi Family to come.

The Chi Family simply opened their mouths wide, demanding their family station people at the vein, and at the same time, eighty percent of the income from the vein would go to the Chi Family, leaving only twenty percent for their family.

And that wasn't all; the mining of the vein was also to be shouldered by his Yan family alone.

Equivalent to their family contributing efforts, yet in the end they could only claim twenty percent of the resources?

His family naturally disagreed, but they didn't outright refuse.

Instead, they secretly sent people to contact Fentian Temple, wanting to affiliate under Fentian Temple.

They were also willing to give fifty percent of their resources to Fentian Temple for free.

Fentian Temple agreed, and the Chi Family withdrew.

It seemed like everything was easily resolved.

Just when the Yan family breathed a sigh of relief, thinking this matter had come to an end,

one night, experts from the Chi Family suddenly surrounded the entire Yan household.

Yan Huo, because he was visiting a lover's house that night, was not at home and thus escaped the disaster.

The next day, he didn't dare return to the Yan household, fearing that he might be recognized, and instead fled the city overnight.

Several days later, after disguising himself, he reentered the city and heard discussions from the citizens all over—the Yan family had been reduced to ashes.

His father, mother, brother, sister, younger brother, younger sister... from top to bottom, most of the Yan family had been exterminated.

Only a very few members who were not in the Yan household that day managed to escape this fate.

Such a deep hatred, he dared not forget.

Gone was the prodigal son of the Yan family, only a monster living for revenge remained.

He gathered the remaining survivors of the Yan family, unlocked the resources the family had hidden outside, grateful that his father loved him dearly as the family head, thus he knew of some treasures hidden in secret places by the family.

He established a Mercenary Corps, over the years killing and robbing by any means necessary.

Only to strengthen his power, just to possess the ability to exact revenge.

He also investigated and discovered that the main force behind the extermination of the Yan family was the Fourth Supreme Elder of the Chi Family—Chi Yu.

So, when people from the Jin Ye Guard of Great Xia sought him out, he didn't hesitate for a moment to agree!

Moreover, as far as he knew, besides himself, the other three mercenary corps in Stone City seemed to also have deep hatreds against the Chi Family...

Whether all this was a coincidence or inevitable didn't matter, what was important was—

he could finally avenge his family.

"Boom!"

Two beams of golden light pierced through the brain and heart of the Vermilion Phoenix.

The head of the Vermilion Phoenix instantly vaporized. Discover exclusive content at empire

Even a Transcendence Seventh Level Beast, having lost its head and heart, could only perish.

Deprived of his Beast Taming, Chi Yu's body enlarged and he fell from the sky; all his Beasts had been killed in battle, the Prairie Fire Phoenix that just died being the last one.

Behind Yan Huo, a Four-winged Cicada vibrated its wings, a beam of golden light shot from the void, crossing a kilometer in an instant, turning the upper body of Chi Yu into nothingness.

Yan Huo laughed wildly, tears streaming down his face. "Hahaha, hahahahaha!"

...

"Laughing, what the hell! With the Fourth Supreme Elder fallen, do you still have the mood to joke?" Inside the Elders' Council of the Chi Family in Jiu Chi City, the first Elder on the left angrily slammed the table.

"The Fourth Supreme Elder died as he should have. If he hadn't died, how could we have a reason to request Fentian Giant City send troops to support us?" the first Elder on the right lightly laughed, "And consider, not only did the Fourth Supreme Elder die, but my most beloved daughter died too."

While saying this, the Elder wiped away a nonexistent tear from the corner of his eye.

The other Elders present were aware of the reason; the Third Elder and the Fourth Supreme Elder held deep grudges, being contemporaries who had even fought within the family over an important resource, ending with the Fourth Supreme Elder slightly victorious, thus advancing further in Beast Taming, stepping into Transcendence Seventh Level and becoming a Supreme Elder of the family.

The second Elder on the left, with a gloomy expression, said, "I know you had conflicts with the Fourth Supreme Elder, but this is not..."

The Third Elder interrupted him, "What conflicts? There were no conflicts. The issues between the Fourth Supreme Elder and I were just a clash of pride, how can there be any conflict? Absurd!"

The second Elder, with a dark look, was about to rebut, when suddenly the Elder sitting in the central main seat spoke up: "Enough, what's done is done, but this indeed presents a good opportunity. Previously at the round table meeting in the Giant City, it was proposed to send troops to support us, but it was rejected stating our losses were not significant.

Now with the Fourth Supreme Elder fallen, this serves as a very good reason."
