Beast Tamer: I can extract blood

The Azure Dragon Society truly lives up to its reputation as a top-tier force in the outer circle; they delivered on their promise of three days in a single day.

A brand-new breeding farm was delivered to Chen Jiuge's farm on time, which also housed thousands of ferocious beasts.

"What do you think, sir?"

The person in charge of the delivery was not Bai Long, but an elder of the Qinglong Society.

"very good!"

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

"Yes, please thank President Bai for me. Also, this is an invitation to the opening of my Hundred Beasts Pavilion. I hope the Azure Dragon Society will grace us with their presence!"

"Natural, natural!"

Once the Qinglong Society members left the farm, Axi quickly had the newly recruited personnel take over their posts, and the cybernetic armed team led by Lieguang also quickly accepted the responsibility of guarding it.

"Aish, the opening date for the Hundred Beasts Pavilion is set for one month from now!"

"Make the most of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion's reputation during this time. This jade pendant can prove that you are a member of the Yun family. With it, those people in the outer circle will not refuse your visits!"

Chen Jiuge handed a dark red jade pendant to Axi.

After putting away the jade pendant, Axi said with a serious expression, "Yes, sir!"

"Don't bother me for the next month. Acquire as many ferocious beasts as you can; don't force it!"

"Also, in three days, the head steward will send over a batch of ferocious beast supplies to serve as a facade for the Hundred Beasts Pavilion. You will go and receive them then, and Chongwu will go with you to prevent any accidents!"

After giving his instructions, Chen Jiuge waved for Axi to leave.

"Phew, next up is breeding the ferocious beasts!"

Because of the Chaos Pearl, and because spirit beasts and ferocious beasts were unavoidable during his cultivation journey, Chen Jiuge didn't actually dislike raising ferocious beasts; in fact, he even somewhat enjoyed the process.

But safety is the prerequisite!
What Chen Jiuge lacks most right now is a sense of security!
Chen Jiuge originally thought that Yunyan was a powerful figure, and that by attaching himself to her, he could cultivate his ferocious beasts safely while doing so. However, before he could have a few years of peace, Yunyan had an accident, which caught Chen Jiuge off guard.

Yunhu's arrival further diminished Chen Jiuge's sense of security.

Fortunately, thanks to Yun Congyi, he jumped directly from the inner circle to the outer circle. With the Yun family as his backer, as long as he doesn't do anything reckless, he should be able to live peacefully in the outer circle for a while.

As a result, another unexpected event occurred with the Azure Dragon Society. After much persuasion, the matter was resolved satisfactorily. However, a jade pendant sent by the Yun family made Chen Jiuge's heart skip a beat.

A jade pendant that could represent the Yun family was certainly not given by Yun Congyi, nor could it represent the Yun family.

The jade pendant that was given to Axi came from Yun Cheng, the seventh master of the Yun family!

"Seventh Master of the Yun family, Miss Yunyan, large families are truly complicated!"

With his niece's fate still unknown, her uncle directly reached out to try and win over her followers. How loving!
"Forget it, what does it have to do with me? As long as I demonstrate my value, I shouldn't be in any danger. In fact, I can gain more by working under Yun Cheng!"

Even so, Chen Jiuge still sighed inwardly.

You might gain more by working under Yuncheng, but the risks will also be greater, and you might even directly clash with other powerful families.

Actually, following Yunyan is the best option. As a junior member of the Yun family, even if other families have a grudge against the Yun family, they cannot bully Yunyan directly. This makes her safer!
Secondly, Yunyan's cultivation level is lower, which allows her to be more relaxed and free in managing herself.

While the Hundred Beasts Pavilion was making grand preparations for its opening, an undercurrent began to stir among the upper echelons of the outer circle, and this undercurrent even involved important figures in the inner circle!
Chen Family
In recent years, with the growth of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion, the Chen family's ferocious beast industry has been affected to some extent. Although the impact is small and the losses to the Chen family are negligible, it has led the Chen family to put Chen Jiuge, the first elder of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion, on their list of key concerns.

Chen Long, the head of the Chen family, leisurely flipped through the information about the Hundred Beasts Pavilion that his subordinates had collected.

"Interesting! The Hundred Beasts Pavilion is opening a branch in the outer circle, and Chen Jiuge is personally overseeing it!"

Chen Long turned his gaze to his only son, Chen Yuntian, and asked, "Tian'er, do you think this is the case?"

Chen Yuntian frowned slightly and said, "I can't understand!"

"Under Chen Jiuge's abilities, the Hundred Beasts Pavilion is growing at a rapid pace. Although it won't have a significant impact on our Chen family, it's still very possible that it will seize the Yue family's ferocious beast market!"

"There are quite a few smart people in the Yun family; surely they can see through it!"

"It's hard to understand why we'd go to such lengths to have Chen Jiuge open a branch in the outer circle!"

"Hahahaha!"

Chen Long laughed heartily twice: "Tian'er, you're right. The Hundred Beasts Pavilion has such great potential, but instead of developing it properly, it insists on opening branches. It's like taking the long way around!"

"But we can't blame Yun Congyi and Chen Jiuge for this!"

Chen Long said somewhat strangely, "Based on some intelligence, we can deduce that the young girl from the Yun family has not appeared for many years, and some of the younger members of the Yun family have taken a liking to the Hundred Beasts Pavilion!"

"This Chen Jiuge has probably sensed some danger. This time, he should play it safe."

"I remember Yunyan is Yuncheng's niece, right? Yuncheng is arguably the strongest branch of the Yun family. Could it be that he can't even protect a Hundred Beasts Pavilion?" Chen Yuntian asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's not that we can't protect them, it's that we don't want to!"

Chen Long sighed and said, "I also know Yunyan's parents. They were outstanding people of their generation, but unfortunately they died too young. Yuncheng's current achievements are all thanks to their legacy."

"No matter how great the favor, it cannot compare to selfishness."

"If you were Yuncheng, would you give the resources to your niece, or leave them to your own children?"

Chen Yuntian nodded slightly: "I understand!"

"Is Father planning to recruit Chen Jiuge?"

"No need!" Chen Long shook his head slightly.

"Seven years ago, I personally tested him, and Chen Jiuge is indeed a very powerful beast tamer. At most, getting him would just mean gaining another Hundred Beasts Pavilion!"

"There's no need to make an enemy of the Yun family because of this!"

"He doesn't need to pay attention to it anymore."

"And some people are even more anxious than we are!"

"Father, are you referring to the Yue family?"

"That's right!"

The Yue family, one of the oldest families in Twilight City, was established when Twilight City was founded.

The Yue family was once the most prestigious family in Twilight City, but due to historical reasons and some mistakes in the family's development direction, the Yue family has become increasingly weak.

The Yue family, beneath its outward appearance of authority, is now riddled with problems.

After their strength plummeted, the Yue family was no longer able to get involved in those high-end industries, so they could only focus on industries with good profitability, among which ferocious beasts were one of the main directions for the Yue family's development!

Thanks to the remaining prestige of the Yue family, they were still able to recruit quite a few capable beast tamers, and their ferocious beast industry was developing reasonably well. Although they couldn't compete with the Chen family, they still captured a significant share of the low- to mid-range ferocious beast market. The Yue family had been living a relatively comfortable life, with a certain income enough to maintain the family's dignity and sufficient resources to nurture one or two family geniuses, simply waiting for the day when a peerless prodigy would emerge and lead the entire clan to new heights.

Then the Hundred Beasts Pavilion suddenly appeared!
The Blood Flood Dragon that Chen Jiuge cultivated directly stole many of the Yue family's customers. The ferocious beasts he cultivated later, such as the Azure Scorpion, produced a large amount of various ferocious beast materials, causing the Yue family's ferocious beast business to shrink once again.

In fact, given the size of the Hundred Beasts Pavilion, it wouldn't have a significant impact on the Yue family. The Yue family also couldn't afford to offend the Yun family now, so they originally planned to just swallow this loss silently.

But the fact that Hundred Beasts Pavilion actually opened a branch in the outer circle is quite remarkable.

The Yue family's ferocious beast industry is fundamentally located in the outer circle, where there are more people. The cultivators there fight outside every day to obtain resources, so the demand for low-level ferocious beasts is very strong.

The Hundred Beasts Pavilion's current actions are practically aimed at completely taking over the Yue family's business!

Yue Heng, the head of the Yue family, is also the most powerful person in the Yue family.

As his name suggests, Yue Heng has a fierce face. If you met him outside, he would look more like a brainless brute. But in reality, Yue Heng is the head of the Yue family and has an extremely delicate mind.

"Elder, what are your thoughts?"

The First Elder, Moonlight, had a kind and benevolent appearance, but he looked somewhat worried at the moment.

"Patriarch, it's not that I'm trying to diminish our own prestige and boost the enemy's, but can the Yue family still afford to cause trouble now?"

Moonlight sighed, her sorrow deepening.

"Since the decline of the Yue family, we have lost control of almost all of our inner circle's industries and can only compete with those poor people in the outer circle for profits. Over the years, the Yue family's situation has improved a lot, but it's still just so-so."

"Over the years, not a single outstanding person has emerged from my Yue family. Although the disciples we have cultivated are not bad, they can only be described as mediocre."

"What gives us the confidence to compete with the Yun family now?"

Although Yue Heng was unwilling, he had to agree with what the Grand Elder said. The Yue family was the weakest first-class family in Twilight City. Some second-class families with strong development momentum were even stronger than the Yue family. If it weren't for the foundation left by their ancestors, the Yue family would have fallen out of the first-class family long ago.

"Patriarch, there is actually another way besides killing Chen Jiuge to provoke the Yun family!"

"any solution?"

"Recruit!"

A glint of light flashed in Moonlight's eyes: "According to the information gathered by my men, this Chen Jiuge was brought from a small town by Yunyan from the Yun family!"

"Yunyan has been gone for many years now. Although the specific details are unclear, it is highly likely that she is trapped in some small world. Not to mention whether she can come back in the future, at least in the short term, there is no possibility of her returning."

"The Hundred Beasts Pavilion may not seem big, but its future potential is evident. I believe there must be someone in the Yun family who can't resist joining in!"

"After all, the Hundred Beasts Pavilion in the inner circle has not yet reached its full potential. As the chief beast tamer, he should not appear in the outer circle."

"Furthermore, Patriarch, have you noticed that ever since the Blood Flood Dragon appeared and the Hundred Beasts Pavilion became an instant sensation, Chen Jiuge has not been able to cultivate any other ferocious beasts comparable to the Blood Flood Dragon?"

"On the contrary, there are more and more materials from some ferocious beasts."

"You mean someone from the Yun family is trying to win him over behind the scenes?" Yue Heng asked, a sudden thought flashing through her mind.

“That’s right, that must be it. The patriarch should know what kind of people the Yun family are. I suspect that Chen Jiuge is afraid, which is why he’s hiding his true abilities!”

"Going to the outer circle is more likely out of necessity!"

“That makes sense. Let’s try it as the Elder suggests!”

"If we can't recruit them, then we'll cooperate in private. If they're not willing, we're willing to offend the Yun family, as the Yue family can't afford any more trouble right now!"

A murderous intent flashed in Yue Heng's eyes; anyone who stood in the way of the Yue family must die!

Mythical Beast World

This is a newly discovered small world, and it was the Yun family who discovered it. When they first discovered this world, the Yun family was extremely excited!
A large number of exotic beasts represent a large amount of wealth. According to the exploration of the clan's ancestor, this world is very large, and the number of exotic beasts living in it is countless. Once the Yun family completely occupies this small world and assimilates it, the family's strength will increase at least several times.

However, after testing, the Yun family patriarch discovered that the power of the Heavenly Dao in this realm was quite strong, and it could only accommodate cultivators with strength below level seven.

Two groups of elite cultivators from the family entered the cave, but none of them returned to report on the situation, causing the Yun family's higher-ups to gradually cool down from their initial excitement.

After the Yun family patriarch offered the clan's most valuable treasures and a large amount of resources, Yunyan stepped forward.

This young girl, along with her carefully trained subordinates, plunged headlong into this world of strange beasts.

"hold head high"

Leaning against the towering ancient tree, Yunyan listened to the occasional roars of beasts around her, her eyes devoid of sorrow or joy.

Using the last remaining bandages to wrap around her injured stomach, Yunyan tied a tight knot, shook her head, and tossed her hair away from her forehead, revealing a somewhat pale face.

"Hongye, how's it going? Have you found a place to stay yet?"

Hongye looked to be around thirty years old, a beautiful young woman in her prime, but in this small world full of strange beasts, no beast could appreciate her beauty.

"Miss, no, this area should be the territory of those monkeys. No matter which direction you go, you will encounter them. There's no way to avoid them!"

"Is it unavoidable?"

Yunyan frowned slightly, then said with a serious expression, "If we were to fight, what are our chances of winning?"

Hongye sighed helplessly and said, "Not high. In the past few years, we have almost used up our supplies. Uta and the others have not recovered from their previous injuries. Those monkeys are exceptionally strong. If we rely on just the number of people, even if we can win, at most only a third of us will survive!"

Bai Lu, the healer in the group, also said with some frustration, "How did these strange beasts grow up? Their physical bodies are ridiculously strong, yet they don't have any magical aura. It's simply unbelievable that they can reach this level just by relying on their blood and qi!"

Despite his severe injuries, Uta struggled to his feet and said, "I can burn my last bit of life essence to open a path to survival for you, Miss."

"it's useless!"

Hongye retorted mercilessly, "So what if we fight our way out?"

"These monkeys aren't puppets; they have their own consciousness and are extremely vengeful. Unless you can kill them all, your sacrifice will be meaningless!"

"enough!"

Yunyan frowned, then asked, "How much food do we have left?"

"Not much, but enough to last ten days or half a month. We can also sneak around hunting some strange beasts."

"Let's heal our wounds first, and talk about it again once everyone's injuries have recovered a bit!"

"We can't defeat those monkeys head-on, but they can't get in here either. We can weaken their strength as much as possible during this time."

"But."

"No buts, let's leave it at that. I'll use this time to try to contact my family."

"Yes, Miss!" (End of Chapter)
