"boom"

The giant ape's massive claws slammed down, leaving cracks in the earth.

The ground of each arena has been specially reinforced to withstand the ravages of at least level four ferocious beasts. One can imagine how powerful the King Kong Ape must be to leave such marks on the ground.

"Quaa?"

The rain frog, which had somehow appeared on the back of the golden ape, made a sound, attracting the ape's attention.

The long, straight sword in his hand pressed down slightly, the blade trembling constantly, and the invisible sword energy left wounds on the back of the Vajra Ape.

"Roar!"

"Cuck!"

"boom"

"how is this possible?"

The arena was shrouded in dust, and the spectators, whose cultivation levels were not high enough to see clearly what was happening inside, could not see anything clearly, but Lan Yun could see everything perfectly.

Just now, the giant ape's hand made contact with the rain frog's long sword, and in an instant, the giant ape's entire body was cleaved in two by that seemingly small long sword!
The Iron Ape's body was like foam, completely useless.

"Cuck!"

With a cold expression, Yuwa sheathed his long sword back into its sheath and slowly disappeared into the tunnel.

"As expected of the Beast Lord, I really underestimated you!" Lan Yun's expression was rather unpleasant, and he was speechless at the so-called Beast Taming Master Gu Yuan.

Wasn't it said that no level three ferocious beast could possibly be a match for the Golden Ape? Yet it was instantly killed with a single strike the moment it appeared. Isn't this a disgrace to me?
"I'm sorry, Miss Lan. I just made a contract with the rain frog. It has a bad temper, and I recently retrained it. It still can't fully control its power, so I accidentally hit it too hard!" Chen Jiuge apologized without any sincerity.

"This isn't the Beast Lord's fault; it's because the Vajra Ape is too weak. It seems that Gu Yuan is all talk and no action!" What could Lan Yun do but accept the situation, even though it was built on Gu Yuan's reputation.

Chongyun was also paying attention to the development of the arena. As the star lord of the mountain city, even if Chongyun used Chen Jiuge as a scapegoat, he could not allow people from other cities to bully him, otherwise others would think he was a pushover.

This is not a good thing!

"It's blocked! That tree frog is really something else!"

Chongyun looked at the screen with a complicated expression.

Given Chongyun's background and cultivation level, even without being present in person, he could tell that the Vajra Ape was truly powerful. Among level three ferocious beasts, there were very few that could rival it. At least, the arenas in the Dark Star of Mountain City could not find such a level three ferocious beast.

"He actually defeated that King Kong Ape with a single strike. It seems that Beast Master Chen's beast-taming ability is even more outstanding than we imagined!"

Yunyan was somewhat moved, never expecting that a casual move she made would have such power.

"Perhaps it's a waste to leave him in Mountain City. Dark Star occupies many cities, and the development of ferocious beasts in many of them is far stronger than in Mountain City!"

"Especially in cities where beast warriors are the mainstream, powerful bloodline beasts are extremely expensive."

"He's a talented person, but the timing is wrong!"

"Yunyan, you handle the people in Luocheng. Don't worry about gains or losses. As long as we can hold out for this period, these things won't be a big deal after my cultivation breaks through!"

"Yes, Star Lord!"

Leaving the top floor, Yunyan was speechless. Breaking through to the seventh level, nothing else mattered?
"What a useless piece of trash. It's said that he took over the position of star lord here voluntarily. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was demoted."

Besides the necessary resources, the sixth to seventh level also requires a clear Dao heart and unwavering faith. Since Yunyan cannot see these, it is impossible for Chongyun to break through to the seventh level.

In a more tragic scenario, the day he achieves breakthrough might also be the day he dies.

"Forget it, what does it have to do with me? The evidence has been collected enough, all we have to do is wait for the people from headquarters to come down, and then I can go back!"

Yunyan had already completed her mission, but Dark Star's headquarters was too far away. She owed the mission completion to Chen Jiuge.

Originally, Yunyan had no access to Chongyun's core area, but Chen Jiuge arrived, providing a perfect scapegoat. Chongyun was tempted, and thus revealed his weakness.

"Little guy, I hope you can hold on. It's such a waste to leave such a powerful talent for beast taming in the mountain city!"

Now that Dark Star headquarters is undergoing reforms, it places great emphasis on talent. As long as I bring Chen Jiuge to headquarters, I'm sure I'll receive a reward. I've already stayed at level six for quite a while.

"Oh, right, there's one old guy too!"

Yunyan had a bit of a headache. Dang Yue, an old thing who had been in the Dark Star for hundreds of years, was indeed difficult to deal with. The headquarters would be more lenient with its own old-timers.

This old man, at his advanced age, still wants to become a star lord, which is really giving Yunyan a headache. However, he has some crucial evidence in his hands, so she can't ignore his opinion.

"It seems we need to find an opportunity to have a serious talk!"

Yunyan picked up Lanyun and the others from Luocheng, which relieved Chen Jiuge.

Although Lan Yun seemed very polite and even addressed him with respect, Chen Jiuge could still sense the disdain in his heart. After all, Lan Yun was a level six cultivator, and if he really wanted to fight, he could probably crush him with one hand.

"But what do you mean by meeting at the warehouse at 7 p.m.?" Chen Jiuge was puzzled, as that was Dang Yue's territory.

Putting aside the relationship between Yunyan and Dangyue, the conflict between myself and Dangyue alone shouldn't have been directed at the warehouse.

Dang Yue has already hired assassins from the assassination society to kill him; who knows, he might resort to desperate measures and attack him directly.

"Go or not?"

The question only lingered in Chen Jiuge's mind for a moment before he decided to go.

"I'm a member of Yunyan now, after all. Since she's from headquarters, she can't possibly fail to protect someone as insignificant as me!"

Moreover, Chen Jiuge was unwilling to miss the opportunity to meet Dang Yue, as it would be very difficult to see that old turtle, Dang Yue.

It is said that when he was welcoming the new King Kong, it was the only time in recent years that Dang Yue had left his territory.

Although Yunyan took Lanyun and the others away, the previous beast fight had ignited the atmosphere of the entire arena, and it is estimated that today's revenue will reach a new high!
Time quickly passed and it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

"tick"

The hands of the pocket watch reached 6:50, and Chen Jiuge casually picked up his coat from the seat.

"Let's go!"

Bored, Hong Lei stubbed out his cigar and asked curiously, "Sir, what's going on here?"

"You'll know when it arrives!"

"Mysterious!"

"Captain Hong Lei!" Han Kui called out with some dissatisfaction. This newcomer had a high level of cultivation, but his behavior was somewhat overstepping his bounds.

"Alright, Drought Demon, don't worry about it too much!"

Stepping out of the arena and through the decadent, decadent ground floor of the Drunken Mansion, Drought King broke out in a cold sweat: "Sir, are you heading to the logistics area?"

"Oh? You've been to Han Kui?"

Chen Jiuge said with some surprise. Everyone knows the area where the Logistics Department is located, but ordinary Dark Star members have only heard of it. The entire Logistics Department is under Dang Yue's control, and it can be said to have become his private territory.

"Yes, I went there once when I first joined, but it was the warehouse owner's territory, and he was very xenophobic!"

"Xenophobicity? That's to be expected!"

They walked in silence for about fifteen minutes before Chen Jiuge finally saw the so-called logistics department.

The logistics department was actually a large warehouse, with a large number of giant trucks parked outside. On the open ground outside the warehouse, a large number of containers were piled up, and shirtless men were working hard to move the goods in the containers.

"Lord Yun!"

Chen Jiuge saw Yunyan, dressed in an office lady uniform, standing alone outside the gate. The two guards were bowing and scraping in front of her, talking about something.

"Since we're here, let's go!"

After respectfully seeing the two off, one of the men wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "What kind of day is this? Two Vajras have shown up!"

"Who cares? We're just lowly gatekeepers!"

"But seriously, the rich man has a really good physique!"

"Snapped"

"Do you want to die? Don't say that out loud, just think it in your heart!"

"I know, it's just the two of us, isn't it?"

"I can't say that, I want to live a little longer!"

"Do you know why I asked you to come here?" Yunyan asked, blowing a white smoke ring as she held a cigarette between her fingers.

"do not know!"

Chen Jiuge answered honestly.

Yunyan glanced sideways at the two people next to Chen Jiuge, and Chen Jiuge understood: "You two move over a bit!"

As the two walked away, Yunyan finally spoke up: "Originally, I was just making a casual move. Chongyun's fate is practically sealed. I didn't want any surprises, which is why I tried to win you over before!"

"So now?"

"Because of your talent, headquarters is undergoing reforms and has a great need for talented individuals. As the person who introduces you, you will also receive a considerable reward. Your beast-taming talent is quite good. Although it is not top-tier, it is still excellent. As long as I bring you back to headquarters, the reward I receive will not be small!"

“Recently, Dang Yue has been causing you trouble. I'll help you mediate.”

"Can Lord Yun mediate?" Chen Jiuge's heart stirred. Unlike himself, Dang Yue was deeply rooted. Even though Yun Yan came from the Dark Star headquarters, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away. It would not be easy to subdue Dang Yue with this identity.

"Heh, you think Dang Yue isn't giving me face, right!"

Yunyan sneered and said, "Indeed, he doesn't need to give me face. After all, he has no descendants, few in the Beast Academy, and has accumulated an unknown amount of power under his command. As a mere headquarters inspector, he really doesn't need to pay any attention to me."

"But unfortunately, I know what he wants."

As they walked and talked, the two arrived at the door of Dang Yue's office.

The Dark Hand guarding the gate stopped Yunyan with a blank expression.

“Interesting. I didn’t believe it when I thought the logistics department was the warehouse owner’s private territory, but now it seems it really is!” Yunyan said coldly.

"Hahaha, how could this be? How could this be?"

Dang Yue personally came out to greet them, then turned to the Dark Hand guarding the gate and said, "What are you doing? These are the Beast Lord and the Rich Man. Don't you have eyes? Go down and receive your punishment!"

Looking at the silent Dark Hand, a hint of envy flashed in Chen Jiuge's eyes. This is what true strength is. With loyal subordinates, one can accomplish more. Unlike himself, he only has a few big cats and small cats under his command, and their loyalty cannot be guaranteed!
Knowing that important matters were about to be discussed, Chen Jiuge told Hong Lei and Han Kui to stay outside the door.

"Cuckoo"

Dang Yue personally filled the two cups of tea, a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "Have you two come to my little town together on some important business?"

If Chen Jiuge hadn't known that the assassins from the previous assassination group were hired by Dang Yue, she would have almost thought that this guy was a good person.

That kind-looking old man's face is so deceptive.

Yunyan didn't touch the tea and said directly, "Dangyue, you should know my identity. I hope you will not attack Chen Jiuge's arena in the future, and the bounty on the assassination group should also be withdrawn!"

Dang Yue's smile froze for a moment, then she said with some displeasure, "Rich man, what are you talking about?"

"Alright, you're so old, stop with the nonsense. I'm an inspector at headquarters. It's one thing if Chongyun doesn't know, but surely you do?" Yunyan said disdainfully.

Dang Yue's smile faded: "Headquarters Inspector, what a prestigious position. Since you're being so frank, I won't hold back either."

"I can't abandon matters of great importance concerning the arena. I don't care about Chongyun's life or death. You were the one who secretly contacted me before, asking me to investigate internal corruption within Chongyun. A small place like Shancheng isn't worth two inspectors coming here personally to check!"

"It's me, and I know exactly what you want!"

"Breaking through to level seven isn't just about having enough resources; it also requires unwavering determination. Forgive my bluntness, but you have no hope!"

Whether there is hope or not is my business!

Dang Yue's face suddenly turned extremely ferocious, clearly Yun Yan's words had touched a nerve.

"Hehe, alright then!"

“I understand your thoughts. You want to become a Star Lord and use the authority of a Star Lord to purchase resources to help you break through to level seven, right?” Yunyan said without changing her expression.

"That's right!"

“With your status, you definitely wouldn’t be interested in the position of Star Lord. My biggest competitor is only Fang Lei. As long as I can gain control of the arena, the next Star Lord will be mine!” Dang Yue said confidently.

“You’re right, but have you considered what would happen if Fang Lei flipped the table?”

"No matter where you are, your fists are always powerful!"

"impossible!"

Dang Yue frowned and analyzed, "Although Fang Lei is my competitor, he is still very law-abiding. Moreover, I only became a Star Lord to obtain breakthrough resources; I don't care about anything else."

“I already have enough resources. I don’t need to plunder any more. As long as I give up some of my rights, even Fang Lei can’t possibly disagree.”

"Hehe, do you think you'd still want to be a puppet star lord after you break through your cultivation level?"

"Fang Lei isn't stupid. He has the strongest power. If he wants the position of Star Lord, you can't possibly be his match unless you're willing to reveal all your trump cards!"

"Besides, as I said before, it's impossible for you to break through to level seven!"

"At least, breaking through through the conventional path of cultivation is impossible!"

Dang Yue's face was very ugly, but this time he did not refute. He knew that it was impossible to break through, but he could not accept waiting for death. As long as there was a chance, he would not give up!
"Let me give you some advice!"

"What suggestion?" (End of Chapter)
