The Master of Beasts

Chapter 999 - 354_2

Repeating this sentence again, Hei Yue also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least Chen Jiuge didn’t care about his identity.

"I am a Fourth Level Shadow Mage, and my cultivation is about to break through to the Fifth Level. I am an assassin, naturally my assassination techniques are not bad."

"I’ve killed many people, seen many places, going to a main city, you can’t show your face, I can take care of some matters you can’t appear for!"

"Hmm, get ready, come over in two days!"

"Yes!" Hei Yue suppressed the excitement in his heart.

.........

Slum area, shantytown.

Old Man Gong looked at the returning Hei Yue, without turning around, he said faintly: "Have you decided?"

"Do I have a choice? You treat Chou Niu as your heir, sending Shadow first on dangerous missions, now that Shadow is dead, I’m next in line!"

"I won’t treat you as expendable!"

"But you intend to sell me for a good price, don’t you?" Hei Yue said expressionlessly.

"Yes, well, your luck is good, latching onto the Yun Family’s thigh, just go, I will change your file to say you’re dead, but you will owe me a favor!"

"You really know how to calculate!" Hei Yue sneered.

"You wouldn’t want to bring trouble to your new master, right? Although the Yun Family is strong, the one you latched onto is merely a subordinate of the Yun Family Miss, the Assassination Association is not much weaker than the Yun Family."

"Fine, but make sure the requests you make don’t put me in a difficult situation!"

"Of course!"

"I didn’t touch your things!"

"Thank you!"

After Hei Yue left, Chou Niu came out from the corner, somewhat unwillingly, "Teacher just let her leave like that?"

"What else do you want?"

Old Man Gong glanced at Chou Niu, then sighed: "Chou Niu, I know you have feelings for him, but now the Mountain City is controlled by the Yun Family Miss, her guards are at least Ninth Level Great Cultivators, even if a higher-up from the Assassination Association came, they would also do a favor."

"Hold onto this favor, you can’t see the benefit now, but it might save your life in the future!"

"But....."

Chou Niu felt somewhat unwilling, but also knew what Old Man Gong said was right, and could only suppress his thoughts.

......

"This is the Infinite War Machine!" Dang Yue looked at the war machine hovering above the Drunken Life and Dream Death building in shock.

"Let’s go!"

Yun Yan led the way, followed by Chen Jiuge and the others.

The Infinite War Machine didn’t look big from the outside, but it was absurdly spacious inside, obviously employing space expansion technology.

Inside the war machine, there were quite a few attendants, but they were all female, and all of them were exceptionally beautiful, with some of them even showing traces of cybernetic modifications.

"Take them to their rooms!"

"In the rooms, there’s a simple introduction about the Dusk Main City, make sure to familiarize yourselves with it!"

"Remember, you are not Dark Star people now, you are subordinates of Yun Yan, and the Dusk Main City is not safe, I hope you don’t disappear in just a few days after arriving!"

"Yes, Miss!"

"Sir, this is your room!"

Yun Yan indeed placed importance on Chen Jiuge, leading him to his room was obviously the maid captain, who also had visible cybernetic modifications.

"Thank you!"

"You’re welcome, the Miss specifically instructed that Mr. Chen is someone she values!"

The room wasn’t big, but the bedroom, living room, bathroom, kitchen, and cultivation room were all complete.

"Alright, go have some fun, and don’t cause too much of a stir!"

"Roar!"

After sending away the Guardian Beast on his shoulder, Chen Jiuge picked up some basic information about the Dusk Main City from the coffee table in the living room.

Dusk City is one of the ten main cities in the Yellow Springs Realm, not within the First, Second, or Third Level standard city ratings.

The entire population residing within the Dusk Main City is in the tens of billions, excluding the transient population, which means there are over a hundred billion people in the Dusk Main City!

Furthermore, the lowest citizen level in Dusk City is also Third Level, which gives an indication of how complex the Dusk Main City really is.

The Yun Family is one of the prominent families in Dusk Main City, but it’s not the strongest, it’s just a first-class family, still far from the top families.

The power dynamics of Dusk Main City are quite peculiar, besides these various families, the most important and the ones not to provoke are the giant enterprises!

The city houses a complex population, with cultivation paths as numerous as stars in the sky, and the internal technological level is extremely advanced!

The main industry of the Yun Family also belongs to the tech side—armor development!

The Fire Cloud Armor on Yun Yan is one of the Yun Family’s greatest creations, allowing a Sixth Level Cultivator to unleash the power of a Seventh Level Cultivator, it’s almost perverse!

After reading through the simple introduction, Chen Jiuge intended to note down the powers not to provoke, but there were too many, it could be said that all those appearing in this basic introduction were ones Chen Jiuge couldn’t afford to antagonize.

Even the first few pages mentioned that Yun Yan shouldn’t be provoked easily, otherwise it might easily bring catastrophic disaster to the Yun Family.

Dark Star!

It wasn’t until he was almost finished with the book that Chen Jiuge finally saw the introduction about Dark Star in the Dusk Main City.

"Leisure and entertainment venue???"

Seeing the overly simplified introduction, Chen Jiuge felt a bit of a headache; Dark Star got this kind of treatment?

"But the Ten Halls Yama are really terrifying, whether it’s the Governance Department or the Ten Temples Department, their forces in Dusk Main City are still the strongest!"

"Indeed, being the strongest force on the surface of the entire Yellow Springs Realm, it’s understandable that they formed the official forces of the entire Dusk Realm!"

"I wonder where Miss Yun will place us, if it’s in the Ten Temples Department or the Governance Department, that would be comfortable!"

But Chen Jiuge also knew that was impossible, if the Yun Family were the top-tier power, it might have been possible, but unfortunately, the Yun Family isn’t, if it were, they probably wouldn’t value people like us.

The speed of the Infinite War Machine was fast, but no matter how fast it flew, the inside remained steady.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, they encountered trouble along the way, but it was all resolved by the Infinite War Machine’s onboard firepower.

A Fierce Beast of at least Seventh Level, under the war machine’s firepower, turned into a blood mist in just a few breaths, Chen Jiuge suspected this war machine could handle all cultivators below the Limit Breaker!

.........

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle"

"This is a villa of the Miss, for now, you will stay here, the Miss needs to return to the family, and when she comes back, she’ll make arrangements for you!" Elder Yun said faintly.

For these people from the small places, Elder Yun naturally looked down upon them, the only bit of surprise perhaps being that little guy at the Second Level, and Dang Yue who might break through to the Seventh Level.

Thinking about how the family’s Miss just became independent, with not many capable cultivators under her, he also felt helpless.

Any member of the Yun Family, once reaching the Sixth Level in cultivation, would face two choices regardless of age.

The first, comply with the family’s arrangement, manage the family business, and have their life thoroughly planned by the family thereafter.

Someone like Yun Yan, with decent talent, outstanding appearance, and parents with good standing in the family, was naturally the best candidate for an arranged marriage, but Yun Yan refused to accept that fate.

So she chose the second option, becoming independent.

Retrieving the Black Blade is the foundational task for her independence; only after completing this task could she qualify for independence and receive a sum of resources and connections.

With these resources and connections, Yun Yan could establish her own company or organization, which, once reaching a certain scale, could be merged into the family business, instantly propelling her to a high level within the family and gaining greater authority.

If her abilities were strong enough and her enterprise large enough, she could even become an elder, managing the whole family’s resources!

As for total independence, that’s out of the question, the Yun Family’s growth to its current scale took tens of thousands of years, Yun Yan alone wouldn’t achieve this level even if she worked tirelessly.

Under this model, the Yun Family continued to expand, with the family members constantly innovating, keeping the Yun Family aligned with the trends, and the family’s strength consistently rising.

Of course, under such circumstances, intra-family competition was also extremely fierce.
