Eternal Beast Taming Family

The dark clouds dispersed in mid-air, revealing Tang Cheng's figure. Beside him was a swarm of source beasts that flapped their wings and emitted a strange rhythm, resembling a swarm of bees.

Chu Jingyu held the "Extreme Ice Snow Lotus" in one hand, stopped his pursuit, and drew the surrounding ice crystal storm back into the petals of the "Extreme Ice Snow Lotus".

Tang Cheng glanced at the still chaotic scene on the ground (actually, it was the Golden Armored Jade-Eyed Beast's one-sided pursuit of the Zhang family), frowned, and said coldly, "Aren't you going to stop?"

Chu Jingyu sent a message to the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" with his mind, instructing it to stop chasing the low-level contract master of the Zhang family.

This calmed the still chaotic scene on the ground. Otherwise, the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" wouldn't care about the mayor or anything like that; its simple mind was only focused on completing Chu Jingyu's orders.

Tang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the situation finally stabilize.

He turned to look at Zhang Qingyuan, who seemed somewhat panicked, and said, "Patriarch Zhang, you have gathered members of the Zhang family to attack the Chu family without cause. Even if this matter is reported to the county magistrate, you will still be in the wrong."

Zhang Qingyuan slowly landed on the ground, glaring angrily at Chu Jingyu. "The Chu family attacked and killed my Zhang family members first. My Zhang family is just seeking justice."

Chu Jingyu and Tang Cheng landed on the ground one after the other. Hearing Zhang Qingyuan's words, Tang Cheng frowned and asked, "Do you have any evidence?"

Zhang Qingyuan paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Evidence? What kind of evidence would a Spirit-rank Contract Master leave behind after killing several other-rank Contract Masters?"

Tang Cheng turned to look at Chu Jingyu on the other side, "Does Patriarch Chu have anything to say?"

"The innocent will clear themselves. The Zhang family head is determined to pin this matter on my Chu family. No matter what I say, it's useless."

However, if the Zhang family insists on fighting, our Chu family will certainly fight to the bitter end.

Tang Cheng felt a headache coming on. Choosing to come to Yuzhen for training was the most regrettable thing he had ever done in his life. Look at what kind of things he has encountered since he arrived.

"Without clear evidence, you are deemed innocent. Patriarch Zhang, this matter was indeed reckless on your part. Today, you attacked the Zhang family's territory without cause. This town mayor hereby orders you to bear full responsibility for the Chu family's losses. Do you have any objections?"

Upon hearing Tang Cheng's words, Zhang Qingyuan's eyes widened, and he laughed angrily, "Hehehe, losses? What losses has the Chu family suffered? Those lying on the ground are all sons of my Zhang family."

"What a Chu family! Today, my Zhang family admits defeat. Just you wait... just you wait."

He glanced at a member of the Zhang family beside him, who then beckoned several other members of the clan who were in relatively good condition to gather up the corpses of the Zhang family members and the source beasts on the ground.

The Chu family simply watched all of this silently without intervening, and thus the Chu family emerged victorious in this clan war.

With Tang Cheng watching from the side, the Chu family had no reason to make another move.

Tang Cheng watched the scene of collecting the corpses, a sigh flashing in his eyes. "Patriarch Zhang still needs to restrain his temper. Being too impulsive is really detrimental to the development of the family."

Upon hearing Tang Cheng's words, a hint of shame and anger flashed in Zhang Qingyuan's eyes. His actions today were indeed impulsive, and he was unaware that Chu Jingyu actually possessed two spirit-level source beasts. However, next time he would be better prepared and would definitely crush the Chu family to the ground once and for all.

"Thank you for your guidance, Mayor Tang." Zhang Qingyuan said this calmly to Tang Cheng, then turned and walked back towards the town.

Tang Cheng sighed helplessly, looked in the direction of the Chu family members, and then praised them, saying, "In this competition between the two families, I have more faith in your Chu family. Every member of your family is a talented young man."

Chu Jingyu slowly shook his head, "Our Chu family is small in number, so Mayor Tang is too kind."

"However, the Zhang family does have some connection with the county magistrate, so it's best not to go too far in certain matters. I do have a rumor that the county magistrate has a fondness for rare and precious treasures. If we cater to his tastes, it might be of great use in some situations."

Upon hearing this, Chu Jingyu's eyes lit up. "Thank you for the reminder, Mayor."

Tang Cheng shook his head slightly, and the swarm of bee-like beasts beside him transformed into a dark cloud and left the place.

Chu Qinhui looked at the devastation caused by the skills of the source beasts everywhere, as well as the damaged medicinal fields on both sides of the road, and sighed regretfully.

"I wonder how long the Zhang family will behave themselves after this lesson?"

Chu Jingyu narrowed his eyes slightly. "Qinhui, go to the treasure pavilion later and find some precious artifacts. We'll go to the county town today."

Chu Qinhui quickly agreed and hurried up the mountain alone, leaving the wounds left by the battle to be dealt with by several stewards and guards.

About an hour later, Chu Qinhui appeared at Taici Courtyard. Chu Jingyu looked up at him and asked, "Have you chosen the treasures?"

Chu Qinhui hesitated slightly. "I took the most valuable items from the treasure pavilion, but I'm not sure if these things are considered rare or precious to a county magistrate who is used to seeing treasures."

"Take the items out and let me see them."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qinhui gently swept his hand across the table, and several items appeared on the table.

The first item, resembling both gold and jade, produces a resonant sound when gently tapped. It is the "Echo Soul Jade," auctioned from the Treasure Pavilion, and is one of the main materials for the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast's" next stage of evolution.

The second item is a bone, no bigger than the palm of your hand, exuding a wild aura. Even in death, it seems to be releasing ferocity in all directions. This is a material required for one of the evolution routes of the "Extreme Ice Snow Lotus".

The third item was a long feather. The people from the Treasure Pavilion said that the feather came from the "Crimson Flame Firebird," a source beast of the upper spirit rank. Even though it was just a feather, it still released warmth to the surroundings.

For the Chu family, these three items are the only rare and precious items they possess, and they were the result of a lot of searching over the past few months.

Chu Jingyu looked at the three items and sighed softly. These items were unlikely to catch the eye of the county magistrate.

"How about we choose two source beasts from the backyard? The Moon Worship Rabbits should be considered rare. I think two of them are about to break through to the Other Rank."

Upon hearing Chu Qinhui's suggestion, Chu Jingyu first raised his eyes, then slowly shook his head.

"The Moon-Worshiping Rabbit is a rare treasure, but if the county magistrate wants to obtain it, the Treasure Pavilion will surely not refuse to sell it to him. It is not difficult for him to acquire it."

"First, we should go to the ancestral hall to pay our respects and ask for instructions. If there's no better solution, we'll have to send a pair of moon-worshipping rabbits. Even if the gift isn't particularly rare, at least we won't be kicked out."

Two minutes later, inside the ancestral hall, Chu Jingyu led Chu Qinhui to offer incense before recounting the Chu family's ordeal that day and their intention to bribe the county magistrate.

Faint, colorful threads gathered before the two, and Chu Mu's figure materialized. His aura remained ethereal, making it impossible to discern what kind of being he truly was.

"Bring me one hundred Source Spirit Stones."
