Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Li Tianchou's face was as cold as ice, his figure as sharp as a sword. His actions were swift and fierce. Upon landing, his gaze swept over, and not seeing Qin Long's figure, he immediately frowned and asked, "Where is Lord Qin?"

His voice was cold, like a chilling Sword Qi, making those who heard it tremble inwardly.

A young man in his twenties stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Reporting to Lord Li, my lord was just summoned to the government office by the County Magistrate for questioning."

This young man was also surnamed Qin, named Qin Yang, who was Qin Long's deputy and a cultivator of the Qin Family.

Speaking of which, Qin Yang was of the same generation as Qin Feng, and his cultivation talent was quite good. Although he was from a collateral branch, he was also considered one of the outstanding ones among Qin Feng's generation.

Unfortunately, he was unlucky. As he grew older, he missed the opportunity to be selected by the family to be sent to a sect.

The Qin Family selected two disciples with outstanding aptitude to join the Beast Taming Sect every twenty years. Sending more than that would not only be detrimental to the family's development but also cause a great burden. So, despite Qin Yang's reputable cultivation talent, he could only cultivate within the family and serve it.

Upon hearing Qin Yang's words, Li Tianchou's face darkened.

He wasn't blaming Qin Long but felt that the County Magistrate was somewhat meddlesome, wasting his time.

However, he didn't vent his anger but asked in a deep voice, "What's the situation? Who discovered the tracks of that Evil Cultivator?"

"Reporting to my lord, it was my cousin."

As Qin Yang spoke, he pulled Qin Feng forward and said, "This is my cousin, Qin Feng, also my lord's son."

He deliberately emphasized Qin Feng's identity to avoid trouble.

Li Tianchou nodded slightly, looked at Qin Feng, and asked, "How did you discover that Evil Cultivator? Explain in detail."

Qin Feng felt a chill rise in his heart from his glance. This man's gaze was like a sword, causing a slight stinging sensation on the exposed skin, which startled him greatly.

He hadn't expected this Sword Cultivator from the commandery to be so formidable.

Immediately, he dared not delay and recounted everything he saw during the day.

After listening, Li Tianchou frowned deeply, "Zhao Jinglei, what is he doing here?"

Although his face remained as cold as ever, he cursed inwardly.

That dandy from the Zhao Family wanted to court death elsewhere, but he had to come to Kun City right when he was here on a case.

Couldn't it be that the girls of Baihua Pavilion in the commandery no longer attracted Young Master Zhao?

It shouldn't be. He had heard that when the batch of girls from the Western Regions had just arrived at Baihua Pavilion, Young Master Zhao spent lavishly, generously claiming he wanted to bed all the alien races. How could he already be exhausted?

He recalled some rumors about these dandies in the market, saying that a few young masters needed frequent nourishing elixirs at a tender age.

Moreover, some even secretly sent people to purchase certain potent aphrodisiacs from the Hundred Herbs Pavilion to prove their vigor, not knowing that the news of their impotence came from the girls in the brothel.

He wondered if the elders of those families knew their descendants were already physically exhausted at such a young age, would they be furious to death.

Li Tianchou withdrew his thoughts, remembering Zhao Jinglei made him deeply frustrated.

It wouldn't matter much if a few collateral members from the Zhao Family had died, as they were just a few ordinary clan members with little potential. However, Zhao Jinglei was a direct lineage of the Ancestor of the Zhao Family, and if he died here, it would be troublesome for him too.

It was easier with the Qin Family, as they were in Kun City and didn't have much contact with the Zhao Family.

But it was different for Li Tianchou, who needed to make a living in the commandery, wanting to gain more cultivation resources and prepare for forming a Golden Core.

If the Zhao Family gave him a hard time because of Zhao Jinglei's death, he would be in trouble.

As a Loose Cultivator from Tieling County, it wasn't easy to find a decent job that continuously provided cultivation resources. If the Zhao Family suppressed him, he could lose his commandery job and become a truly wandering Loose Cultivator.

However, Li Tianchou was also somewhat puzzled, "Even though that Evil Cultivator is vicious, knowing Zhao Jinglei is from the Zhao Family of Tieling, how dare he act against him? Did he lose his mind?"

Qin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it's because he heard Young Master Zhao say his family ancestor has gone into closed cultivation, so he decided to act."

As soon as he said this, Li Tianchou's face couldn't hold back any longer, muttering a low curse.

That idiot, even spreading the news of his family ancestor's closed cultivation and advancement. Isn't he seeking death?

Wasn't he afraid that Evil Cultivator would find stronger Demon Path cultivators to ambush his family ancestor during the critical moment of advancement, completely dooming the Zhao Family?

"Who knows when Lord Qin will be out. Leave someone to wait, the rest follow me."

Anxious, Li Tianchou couldn't wait any longer, pointed to Qin Feng, and said, "You lead the way."

"Me?"

Qin Feng was stunned, not expecting Li Tianchou to have him lead the way.

"What? You unwilling?"

Seeing him stunned and unmoving, Li Tianchou's eyebrows raised, showing a trace of sternness in his eyes.

Yet, remembering that this was Qin Long's son and not a subordinate of the government office, he softened his tone a bit, "Among everyone, only you have seen that Evil Cultivator, so you must come along. Otherwise, we might be deceived by the enemy."

Indeed, he had this concern, as now many cultivators had come inside and outside Kun City. Even at night, some roamed around, searching for the Evil Cultivator.

If the Evil Cultivator mingled among the Loose Cultivators, he could easily deceive them with a few words.

Qin Feng cupped his hands, "Reporting to my lord, I am just a junior who has recently opened my Spiritual Acupoint, lacking the power to participate in such matters. It would be better to wait for my father to join you upon his return."

Although he was somewhat intimidated by Li Tianchou's gaze, he didn't immediately agree.

As he said, being just at the beginning of cultivation, he lacked any means of self-defense. If he got caught in the crossfire, he would be unfortunate.

Li Tianchou nodded slightly, "You are cautious, but no need to worry. Since I let you follow, I can protect you completely."

As he spoke, he flicked his sleeve, sending two streaks of light flying out, landing before Qin Feng.

Qin Feng extended his hand, catching the streaks of light, finding it to be two Spirit Talismans.

Unlike the Spirit Talismans seen earlier from the Black Robed Taoist, the ones Li Tianchou gave weren't drawn on Yellow Talisman Paper but were made from an unknown beast skin, providing a solid feel, much more assuring than the flimsy Yellow Talisman Paper.

He examined them, noticing one Spirit Talisman had a heavy aura, while the other exuded a sharp, chilling aura. As his finger traced the runes on the Spirit Talisman, it felt like being pricked by needles, startling him enough to immediately withdraw his hand.

"These two Spirit Talismans, one is my personally crafted Cold Ice Sword Talisman. Once activated, it can unleash hundreds of Cold Ice Sword Qi, enough to overwhelm an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

The other Talisman, exchanged from a Master of Talisman Making in the commandery, is a Vajra Talisman, sufficient to safeguard your life."

Li Tianchou snorted, "Consider yourself lucky. If it weren't for my urgency in rescuing Young Master Zhao, I wouldn't give you these Spirit Talismans."

Lord Li had his calculations too. If he managed to save Zhao Jinglei, the Zhao Family would surely reward him tenfold. Two mere Spirit Talismans were nothing significant.

Qin Feng swallowed hard, suppressing the delighted expression.

It wasn't surprising he was so shallow, as he was merely from a small rural family. Even the clan leader might not possess several Foundation Establishment Stage Spirit Talismans. Suddenly gaining something precious was naturally exhilarating.

Qin Feng promptly placed the two Spirit Talismans in his bosom and said, "Thank you, my lord, for the Talismans. Since you guarantee my safety, I gratefully accept!"

Saying this, he also bowed respectfully.

Li Tianchou, being experienced, easily discerned the implications in his words.

This kid was indeed quite timid. Despite receiving the two Spirit Talismans, he was still so afraid, implying that he fully depended on him for safety.

But at this moment, he couldn't be bothered with the kid's concerns. Finding Zhao Jinglei quickly was more important.

"Enough talk, let's go. If something happens, I will naturally act."

Li Tianchou waved his hand, leading the Inspection Department personnel ahead, instructing the government officials to inform Qin Long upon his release.

With Qin Long's cultivation, he would soon catch up with their group.
