After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

"I didn't expect this Huangshi Mercenary Group to be so capable; they actually killed an elder of the Chi Family."

"Have you found out who did it?"

"Some say it was that Mr. Chen, others claim it was a skilled fighter beside Mr. Chen."

The information spreading from within the Huangshi Mercenary Group was a mix of truth and lies.

For many ordinary Beast Tamers, it was difficult to discern the truth, but the other four mercenary groups and the City Lord's Mansion, with better access to information, knew the real story.

"He actually managed to kill a Beast Tamer with Transcendence Sixth Level." Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Su Lai expressed his shock at the news, noting that Chen Xing looked quite young, seemingly not even twenty years old yet.

"Geniuses are always different from ordinary people," Gu Yuzhi chuckled lightly, thinking back to the first time he met Chen Xing in the Illusion Realm.

At that time, he was just an ordinary Beast Tamer; after Chen Xing had died in the Illusion Realm, he even posthumously promoted him to the rank of Colonel.

Of course, that was merely a ceremonial title within the Illusion Realm and did not affect reality.

However, looking at it now, with his strength, he could securely hold the position of Colonel in reality as well.

As for becoming a General... Although he had not returned for a long time, Great Xia had seen the emergence of many powerful individuals in recent years, with crowds of geniuses vying for each military slot.

One had to achieve High Transcendence to be considered for a General's rank.

Suddenly, a carrier pigeon swiftly flew through the sky.

A designated Beast Tamer untied the message attached to the pigeon's leg and handed it to Gu Yuzhi.

Gu Yuzhi untied the ribbon and opened the letter.

A flicker of turmoil passed through his usually tranquil eyes, "Fentian Giant City is really willing to go all out, sending him over."

Curiosity flashed in Su Lai's eyes, but he refrained from asking further.

He was mindful of his role; whatever the City Lord wished to disclose, he would share, and what he chose not to say, Su Lai could not inquire further into.

"Take a look." Gu Yuzhi tossed the letter to Su Lai.

Upon examining it, Su Lai was shocked.

Mr. Liu of the Ashen Fox, dead!

The Mr. of each Mercenary Corps was the core leader.

Just like Mr. Chen of the Huangshi Mercenary Group, which had only been established not long ago.

This Mr. Liu was the core figure of the Ashen Fox, rumored to hail from the Jin Ye Guard!

The report mentioned that the First Supreme from Jiu Chi City, along with a newly-appointed Legion Commander, two formidable individuals, traveled a thousand miles to launch a surprise attack on the Ashen Fox.

The Ashen Fox's Mr. Liu was overwhelmed and beheaded!

According to the report, the First Supreme was merely a diversion, never acting from beginning to end, while the new Legion Commander simply summoned a single beast, achieving the astonishing feat of defeating a sequence of five opponents.

Right there and then, Mr. Liu was executed!

In the report, Mr. Liu was also recognized as a figure of High Transcendence.

He possessed a "Mountain Shifting Demon Ape" at Transcendence Seventh Level.

"This new Legion Commander is as good as dead," Gu Yuzhi said.

Initially puzzled, Su Lai then realized, "Is Great Xia going to make a move?"

"Not Great Xia. The death of Liu Ye won't shake all of Great Xia, but it will shake the Jin Ye Guard. It's been many years since the Jin Ye Guard suffered such a heavy loss."

This message was hurriedly sent to Great Xia overnight.

Just as Gu Yuzhi had said, the demise of a High Transcendence rank wouldn't cause an 'Earthquake' in Great Xia. Given the unique nature of this mission, the news wasn't widely spread, but it did cause a stir in certain circles.

Within the Jin Ye Guard, however, it truly was an 'Earthquake.'

That's because Liu Ye was a Purple Cloaked Commander, second only to the Red-Clothed Commander.

There were only twenty Purple Cloaked Commanders within the Jin Ye Guard, with each Red-Clothed Commander overseeing two Purple Cloaked Commanders.

More importantly, it had been thirty years since a Purple Cloaked Commander of the Jin Ye Guard's stature had fallen.

As if this wasn't enough, the loss wasn't in some battlefield of vital importance but during a localized conflict aimed at Jiu Chi City, where he was ambushed and executed.

For the Jin Ye Guard, who primarily operated as a secret agent organization, this was akin to being slapped hard by a determined dwarf leaping into the air—an embarrassment, a grave loss of face.

The following evening, the Teleportation Array's Array of Light sparkled.

A slender figure stepped out from the Teleportation Array.

A young man followed him.

"Sir, should we notify the Ashen Fox about this?"

"No need." The slender figure was draped in a black cape, his head adorned with an exquisite black hat, with a hanging veil concealing his face.

"Liu Ye, that useless trash, a Purple Cloaked Commander, ambushed and executed. Such an embarrassing death, do you know what the other Red-Clothed Commanders said about me yesterday?" The person beneath the hat spoke evenly, revealing little emotion.

But he who was familiar with the lord understood, the lord's mood at the moment was not good.

Qin Xuan lowered his head, not daring to say more.

"Accompany me for a stroll," Ming Junting said casually.

"By the way, I remember Chen Xing also came to this side, didn't he?"

"Yes, my lord, and he's also in charge of a mercenary corps, called the Huangshi Mercenary Group."

The day before he came, Qin Xuan had crammed intelligence and knew quite a bit about the news around here.

"Let's go see him first."

The arrival of Ming Junting was a big surprise for Chen Xing.

He hadn't expected Ming Junting to actually come over.

"Lord Ming," Chen Xing said.

In terms of positions, although the two were not in the same department, Ming Junting's rank was much higher than his.

Ming Junting surveyed his surroundings, "No need for formalities, both of us serve Great Xia."

"This isn't a place to talk, follow me, please," Chen Xing said.

Chen Xing led Ming Junting to a quiet room deep within the residence.

Ming Junting asked, "Do you know the purpose of my visit?"

"I do."

Even if Chen Xing didn't know on the day the incident happened, after the news had fermented for a day, Chen Xing had learned of the decapitation of the Ashen Fox's leader.

To think the newly arrived legion commander was so ruthless, and unknown how he got the intelligence, he managed to decapitate the head of the Ashen Fox.

"There must be a traitor within the Ashen Fox, otherwise they wouldn't know Liu Ye's location," Ming Junting said directly.

Chen Xing looked at Ming Junting, waiting for what he had to say next.

"So I've come to borrow someone from you. What comes around goes around—since they killed one of my men, I'll take out one of their high-level operatives," Ming Junting said indifferently.

"Lord Ming, if the Ashen Fox has a traitor, does that mean my mercenary corps is completely clean?" Chen Xing shook his head.

These five hundred plus people were all old soldiers of the City Guard Army, gathered by Gu Yuzhi.

But these retired members of the city guard had left the army, some for a few years, others for several decades.

Who knew if they were clean.

It was just that they were handy to use now, so Chen Xing continued using them.

"I don't need to borrow those subordinates, I want to borrow your experts."

Chen Xing was taken aback and gave a respectful gesture, "I'm just leading a makeshift team here; where would I have any experts?"

"Isn't one sitting right in front of me?"

Chen Xing repeatedly waved his hands, "I'm certainly not qualified."

Ming Junting continued, "Besides you, there is another, Qin Zhou."

Qin Zhou, Chen Xing pondered, and quickly pinpointed a person—if the most likely were to be chosen, it would be Qin Bo, Zhao Guangming's man.

"Qin Bo belongs to Brother Zhao; I can't make decisions for him."

Ming Junting said, "You won't be helping for nothing; all spoils from this mission will go to you, I only want their lives."

Chen Xing was shocked, "All the spoils of war?"

"All."

"Besides me and Qin Bo, who else will be there?"

A look of appreciation flashed in the eyes of Ming Junting, "I will also borrow another person from Resistance's Heart, but rest assured, I will compensate that person otherwise, so the spoils of this mission will still belong to you."

Chen Xing's eyes flickered, hearing that the one who had killed Liu Ye was a High Transcendence, the entire property of a High Transcendence...

"Lord Ming, if it is a High Transcendence, I might not be a match."

"You don't need to deal with the High Transcendence, just help me hold off the other Transcendences below that rank."

Chen Xing thought for a moment, "I need to inquire about Qin Bo's opinion."

Qin Zhou wasn't his man; he was Brother Zhao's man. Whether to act or not, they had to see Brother Zhao's own opinion.

"Qin Bo will go."

The voice of Zhao Guangming came from outside the door; he and Qin Xuan pushed the door and entered, with Qin Zhou following behind them.

"Brother Xuan, there's no issue with this matter," Zhao Guangming said.

"Good, then I'll trouble you."

"However, there is a risk involved in this mission; you will need to go to the City Lord's Mansion first."
