The Master of Beasts

Chapter 1018 - 364

The Azure Dragon Society truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier power in the Outer Circle, delivering exactly as promised in three days.

A brand-new ranch was promptly delivered into Chen Jiuge’s hands, containing thousands of Fierce Beasts.

"What does Your Excellency think?"

It was not the White Dragon in charge of the delivery, but an Elder from the Azure Dragon Society.

"Very well!"

"Since there are no issues, this old man will take his leave!"

"Hmm, please convey my thanks to Chairman Bai. Additionally, this is an invitation for the opening of my Hundred Beasts Pavilion. I hope the Azure Dragon Society will honor us with their presence!"

"Of course, of course!"

After the Azure Dragon Society personnel withdrew from the ranch, Xi immediately deployed the newly recruited staff to swiftly assume their posts, while the Robotic Armed Team led by Lie Guang quickly took on their guarding duties.

"Xi, the opening of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion is set for one month from now!"

"During this time, try to make the Hundred Beasts Pavilion well-known. This Jade Pendant indicates you are with the Yun Family, so with it, the people in the Outer Circle won’t refuse your visits!"

Chen Jiuge handed an auburn Jade Pendant to Xi and said.

Receiving the Jade Pendant, Xi adopted a serious expression and said, "Yes, sir!"

"For the next month, do not disturb me. As for the Fierce Beasts, purchase as many as possible, but do not force it."

"Additionally, in three days, the Chief Steward will bring over a batch of Fierce Beast materials to serve as the facade for the Hundred Beasts Pavilion. You should receive it then, with the Chong Wu Association accompanying you to prevent any mishap!"

Having finished instructing, Chen Jiuge waved Xi off.

"Whew, next is the cultivation of the Fierce Beasts!"

........

Due to the Chaos Pearl and the unavoidable presence of Spiritual Beasts and Fierce Beasts along the journey of cultivation, Chen Jiuge actually harbors no aversion towards nurturing Fierce Beasts; he even somewhat enjoys the process.

But the premise is safety!

And what Chen Jiuge lacks most now is a sense of security!

Originally, he thought Yun Yan was a solid support. Once he held onto it, he could cultivate Fierce Beasts safely while practicing, but after a few years of stability, Yun Yan had an accident. This situation indeed caught Chen Jiuge off guard.

The arrival of Yun Hu further diminished Chen Jiuge’s sense of security.

Fortunately, by relying on Yun Congyi, he directly jumped from the Inner Circle to the Outer Circle, backed by the Yun Family. As long as he didn’t seek death, he could be stable in the Outer Circle for a while.

However, an unexpected incident occurred with the Azure Dragon Society, which was eventually perfectly resolved, but a Jade Pendant sent from the Yun Family made Chen Jiuge’s heart skip a beat.

A Jade Pendant that can represent the Yun Family certainly wasn’t sent by Yun Congyi; he couldn’t represent the Yun Family.

The Jade Pendant handed to Xi was from Seventh Master Yun of Yun Cheng!

"Seventh Master Yun, Miss Yun Yan, families are indeed complicated!"

"The life or death of a niece is unknown, yet the uncle immediately reaches out to test and gather the niece’s subordinates. How kind-hearted!"

"Never mind, what does it matter to me. As long as I showcase my value, I suppose there won’t be any danger, and I might even gain more under Yun Cheng!"

Though he said this, Chen Jiuge still sighed inwardly.

There might be more gains under Yun Cheng, but the risks would also be greater, possibly leading to direct confrontations with other big families.

In fact, following behind Yun Yan was the best, as a junior of the Yun Family, other families, even if they had grudges with the Yun Family, wouldn’t attack Yun Yan directly, ensuring greater safety!

Moreover, Yun Yan’s cultivation level was lower, making her management over him more lenient and free.

As the Hundred Beasts Pavilion was preparing for a grand opening, an undercurrent began to rise among the high ranks of the Outer Circle, which even involved notable figures in the Inner Circle!

Chen Family

In recent years, with the expansion of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion, the Chen Family’s Fierce Beast industry has been somewhat impacted. Although the impact is minor and the loss to the Chen Family negligible, it has nonetheless placed Chen Jiuge, the Hundred Beasts Pavilion’s first Tributor, on the Chen Family’s watchlist.

Family Head Chen Long leisurely flipped through the gathered data on the Hundred Beasts Pavilion.

"Interesting, the Hundred Beasts Pavilion opens a branch in the Outer Circle, and Chen Jiuge personally takes charge!"

Chen Long directed his gaze at his sole son, Chen Yuntian, and asked, "What do you make of this, Tian’er?"

Chen Yuntian furrowed his brows slightly and replied, "I don’t understand!"

"Under Chen Jiuge’s skill, the Hundred Beasts Pavilion has grown rapidly. Though it may not significantly impact our Chen Family, it’s likely to seize the Yue Family’s Fierce Beast market!"

"There is no shortage of wise individuals in the Yun Family, so they should be able to see it."

"Yet, opting to establish a branch in the Outer Circle seems inexplicable!"

"Hahahaha!"

Chen Long laughed heartily, "Tian’er, you’re right. With a promising industry like the Hundred Beasts Pavilion, not properly developing it and instead engaging in establishing branches is indeed seeking afar while neglecting the near!"

"But you can’t blame Yun Congyi and Chen Jiuge for this!"

Chen Long said somewhat mysteriously, "It can be inferred from some intelligence that the little girl from the Yun Family hasn’t been seen in years, and some young members of the Yun Family have developed ideas for the Hundred Beasts Pavilion!"

"This Chen Jiuge likely sensed some dangerous scent, hence his attempt to maintain a safe stance."

"I recall Yun Yan is Yun Cheng’s niece, right? Yun Cheng is the strongest branch in the Yun Family now. Is he unable to shield a Hundred Beasts Pavilion?" Chen Yuntian was puzzled.

"It’s not that he can’t, but he doesn’t want to!"

Chen Long sighed, "I knew Yun Yan’s parents; they were outstanding figures of their generation. Unfortunately, they died too soon, and Yun Cheng has achieved what he has today by riding on their legacy."

"No matter how great the kindness, it can’t surpass personal interest."
