After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

It was easy to spread the legend.

The four of them didn't return directly to the camp; instead, they found a deserted mountain in the wilderness.

Ming Junting summoned the Sky-bright Moon-devouring Python, which had devoured two dragon beasts and now emitted a faint glimmer.

Its body was covered in a thin layer of pale white light, and scales continuously sloughed off its surface.

In front of everyone, it shed a thick layer of dead skin and emerged from its old body, far more massive. The new body's skin was delicate, but it hardened visibly upon exposure to the air!

After resting for a moment, the Sky-bright Moon-devouring Python spat out a ring from its throat. Experience more on empire

Ming Junting picked up the ring and, after cleaning it with a handkerchief taken from his pocket, handed it to Chen Xing.

Chen Xing knew this must be the storage ring of that legion commander.

Qin Bo also summoned his Beast Taming, and his Wind-calling Pouch vomited out a large pile of Storage Ornaments with a clattering sound.

They piled up into a small mound on the ground.

"Mother of god, how much money is this!" Han Zhaolong's eyes turned green.

Not to mention anything else, just selling these Storage Ornaments alone would fetch an impressive figure!

As a senior military officer, he knew all too well how costly it was to maintain an army of capable soldiers.

From ancient times, maintaining an army meant spending money, but maintaining an army composed of Beast Tamers was like piling up a mountain of gold.

However, since he had already agreed to other conditions, it would not be good to go back on his word.

So Han Zhaolong could only sigh deeply, forcing himself to look away!

"Shall we divide it now?" Qin Bo asked.

"Qin Bo, let's count it after we get back," Chen Xing replied. They were still in the wilderness, and after getting back, they would have plenty of time to slowly tally the Storage Ornaments, but with so many ornaments, he and Qin Bo didn't know how long it would take.

They would need a few strong men.

...

After resting a while, the group rode their tamed beasts in another direction.

Chen Xing noticed that they were not heading towards Stone City.

Ming Junting said, "Gentlemen, if you are not in a hurry, accompany me to see the Ashen Fox."

Han Zhaolong thought of something and smiled mischievously. "Sure, it's not too far anyway."

Qin Bo looked at Chen Xing, who thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

The leader of the Ashen Fox had changed, and although he had only met Ming Junting a few times, Chen Xing could tell that Ming Junting's personality was quite straightforward.

It was good to deal with such a person.

And, after all, since they all had a common goal, it would be great if they could reach a cooperation with the Mercenary Corps.

Han Zhaolong walked up to Chen Xing, nudged him lightly with his elbow, and when Chen Xing looked over, Han Zhaolong then said, "Not bad, huh."

"What did Uncle Han mean?" Chen Xing hesitated, although he had just summoned Sìxiàng, it hadn't taken any action.

"I am referring to the battle at the Lake of Fire," Han Zhaolong explained.

Chen Xing suddenly realized; he was talking about that battle.

"Thanks to your intelligence, Uncle Han," Chen Xing was grateful. If it hadn't been for Uncle Han's intelligence, Chen Xing wouldn't have acted so swiftly.

At least, before confirming the other Resource Points' garrison strengths, Chen Xing wouldn't have acted rashly.

If he had delayed a few more days, and if Chi Xie's tamed beast had broken through to the Seventh Layers of Transcendence, there might have been additional complications.

However, Han Zhaolong didn't know this and thought Chen Xing was just being modest.

"It's not much related to me, ah, originally I wanted to lure you into our army with your talent, guaranteeing you would become an officer within two years. Unfortunately . . ."

It turned out that the emperor had interfered, and actually established the Salamander.

Before, Han Zhaolong had only vaguely heard rumors that the emperor intended to establish a new department independent of the Jin Ye Guard.

But nobody knew this department would be truly "new."

It was filled entirely with newcomers!

With Chen Xing's talents, he was sure to climb even higher in the future.

Moreover, there was a significant difference between the Salamander and the Jin Ye Guard; the latter had ten Red Commandants at the top, while the Salamander had only one Salamander Chief Commander!

Holding a fraction of the power of ten parts is not as great as holding one full part.

With this young man's talents, even if he wasn't the Salamander Chief Commander, becoming one of the Salamander Deputy Chief Commanders was a sure thing.

Plainly speaking, although capability and achievements were valued, strength was the core.

And with strength could one accumulate more achievements, especially since the Salamander was just established and in need of capable people.

Even if it was just to acquire a steed of great worth or to make a statement.

Chen Xing must be extensively used.

As for the heights he could reach, Han Zhaolong dared not speculate rashly.

"Speaking of steles similar to the White God, there are actually quite a few in the treasury of the Great Xia Kingdom. Unfortunately, after investigation, it was found that most of the gods recorded on the steles still 'exist'; otherwise, I would have tried one path," Han Zhaolong sighed.

Chen Xing noted an essential point—do the Ancient Gods still exist?

With his hands behind his back, Ming Junting's flat voice came from ahead, "What is there to worry about? Regardless of whether they have returned or not, even if they do return, so what? Gods are not immortal, and when they die, their positions naturally become vacant."

Hearing this, Han Zhaolong laughed loudly, "Commandant Ming certainly has a grand spirit!"

...

Half an hour later, the Sun Chasing Bird descended from the sky.

Below, in the mountain forests, numerous figures of Beast Tamers could vaguely be seen.

After Ming Junting disembarked, two Beast Tamers leaped down from a nearby tree, hands clasped over their fists before kneeling on one knee, "Greetings, Commandant sir!"

Each of these Jin Ye Guards seemed to recognize Ming Junting.

"Take me to see Liu Ye's corpse," Ming Junting's demeanor changed.

"Yes."

Passing through the forest, a hidden cave appeared behind, with torches burning on all sides inside.

Along the way, several Beast Tamers in a hurry saw Ming Junting and stopped, bowing deferentially, "Commandant sir!"

Deep inside the cave, a stone platform quietly held a coffin.

Liu Ye's corpse was placed in the coffin, his body incomplete, missing the lower half.

"Liu sir's lower body was eaten by that beast; we barely managed to recover the upper half,"

"A high-ranking Purple Cloak Commandant dying in such a place is shameful!" Ming Junting's eyes were cold.

He then waved his hand, summoning the Heavenly White Swallowing Python. The python spit out a corpse from its mouth.

The nearby Jin Ye Guards first looked surprised at this corpse, then delighted.

"It's him!"

"He's the one who killed Liu sir that day!"

"I brought back the murderer; encase him in concrete, and nail him in front of Liu Ye's grave," Ming Junting said calmly.

"Yes!"

"My Jin Ye Guards can only be touched by Jin Ye Guards. I brought back his murderer, but where is the one who betrayed him?" Ming Junting glanced around, looking at the local Jin Ye Guard Commandant.

"All mercenaries have been controlled, and after interrogation, one person was found. Currently, all are detained," the Commandant clasped his hands and respectfully spoke.

"Take me to see."

The Commandant led Ming Junting deep into the camp.

There, a large group of Beast Tamers were detained, a somber crowd of Beast Tamers squatting on the ground.

As Ming Junting arrived, countless people lifted their heads, seemingly aware that the person deciding their fate had arrived.

"Just kill them all. Unloyal dogs, they don't deserve to live," Ming Junting said nonchalantly from outside the cell.

These words struck like a bolt from the blue!

Countless mercenaries in the cell were stunned.

The next second, it was like a boiling pot!

"No! Sir, please spare our lives."

"Sir, the traitor is Shi Hu; it has nothing to do with us."

"Mr. Liu's death has nothing to do with us; we were unaware!"

"Sir! We are innocent!"

Countless cries echoed from within the cell.

Ming Junting calmly said, "From today onwards, all members of Ashen Fox will be managed by the Jin Ye Guards."

"Yes!"

Then, one by one, beasts appeared outside the cell.

Shortly thereafter, a wave of darkness swept over the entire cell instantaneously.

The cell transformed into a human purgatory!

Accompanied by a multitude of screams and wails.

Five seconds later, the cell fell dead silent, leaving only the thick stench of blood and scattered limbs and body parts.
