Eternal Beast Taming Family

Chu Shengfan looked at the blood cocoons hanging around him with some worry. "I am willing to serve His Majesty the True King. Could you please let them go?"

With a flick of his wrist, the blood cocoons that bound Chu Shengyuan and the source beast instantly turned into blood mist and dissipated, freeing the man and the source beast.

Chu Shengyuan glanced at Xue Jingzhenwang but didn't speak. He quickly floated to his brother's side and looked him up and down several times with concern, asking with his eyes if his brother was alright.

Chu Shengfan gave him a reassuring look.

At this moment, streaks of light flashed across the sky and earth, and many royal elders, or leaders of powerful families in the capital, all exuding the aura of their rank, gathered here.

At the very front of the line were naturally a group of royal elders led by Jing Xiu. They arrived at a short distance away and then respectfully knelt down in mid-air.

"We pay our respects to the Blood King Ancestor."

As for the leaders of other powerful families, they greeted, "Greetings, Your Majesty, King Xuejingzhen."

Facing a King-level Contract Master, no one in the Jingyuan Dynasty, the pinnacle of combat power, dared to show disrespect.

Blood King waved his hand, "Rise."

Chu Shengfan looked towards Jing Heng in the crowd and, sure enough, saw the somewhat incredulous look in Jing Heng's eyes as he saw Chu Shengfan standing there unharmed.

He gave Jing Heng a meaningful smile. He had survived this ordeal, but what his future held was anyone's guess.

Jing Xiu straightened up, glanced at the "Ancient Medicine King Tree" behind Blood King Jing and the Chu brothers, then bowed and reported to Blood King Jing:

"Your Majesty, these two sons have openly disregarded the dignity of our royal family and caused such a great disturbance in the capital. They should be beheaded and have their feet cut off to uphold the majesty of the royal family."

Blood King glanced at Jing Xiu lightly, flicked his finger, and a drop of blood flew from his fingertip, gently covering Jing Xiu's brow. In an instant, it was enveloped in a blood cocoon.

"Jingxiu is muddleheaded and has been temporarily removed from his position as Grand Secretary. He will return to seclusion to reflect on his mistakes for ten years. Jingxu will take his place as Grand Secretary."

The actions of the Blood King stunned everyone around him, from the royal family elders to the noble families and leaders in the capital. They never expected the Blood King to suddenly punish Jing Xiu.

But what the Blood King said next shocked them even more.

"Chu Shengfan is hereby granted the title of Marquis Yanling, a residence in the upper city, a monthly stipend of ten thousand source spirit stones, and the privilege of supporting one hundred guards."

Shocked as they were, no one dared to raise any objection to the command of this most ancient and revered true king.

"Yes," Jing Xu, the newly appointed Grand Secretary, replied respectfully.

Despite being granted a noble title, Chu Shengfan showed no joy. He was only able to stand here now because he had signed a life contract with the "Ancient Tree of Medicine King."

Even the Blood King True King could not forcibly separate the "Medicine King Ancient Tree" from him. In order to stabilize himself and find the Medicine King Valley for him, he gave him this title.

But once the Valley of the Medicine King is found, one's fate will likely unfold in unexpected ways.

"Jingwang Palace, meeting today."

After saying this, a great road composed of thousands of blood lotuses spread out from under the feet of Blood King, until it disappeared into the sky beyond the clouds.

Blood King stepped forward first, and then his figure slowly moved forward on the Blood Lotus Avenue.

Behind them, the royal elders and the various powerful families of the capital followed closely, silently accompanying the Blood King.

Chu Shengyuan muttered to himself, "Quite a grand display."

Chu Shengfan withdrew his gaze, patted Xiao Yuan's head, and said, "Xiao Yuan, you must leave the capital with Princess Nanli immediately."

"Oh, what will you do if I leave?"

"With you here, things are not going well for me. Now that the True King has appeared, even if you are nominally the son-in-law of the True King of the Sea, the True King may not care about your status at all."

And only after you leave will there be certain things that will be easier for me to do.

Hearing his brother's words, Chu Shengyuan nodded reluctantly, "Then, brother, you must take good care of yourself. Your safety is the most important thing. It doesn't matter if our Chu family serves the royal family."

Chu Shengfan then turned and bowed to Zheng Yuandao, the dean of Qianling Academy, who had a complex expression on his face not far away.

"I am very grateful for your help before, Dean. I will remember it in my heart. If I can return to the academy after this matter, I will definitely repay you."

"But now we need to trouble the Dean to bring Xiao Yuan and the others back to the academy safely."

In fact, when Zheng Yuandao made his move, he was already prepared to die. He never thought about being rewarded. He was just carrying out the arrangements of the Great Master Luo Xuan.

Anyone could die on this trip to the capital, but Chu Shengyuan absolutely could not. He had to bring him back, even if it meant sacrificing Zheng Yuandao's own life.

Zheng Yuandao nodded. "I will definitely bring them back to the academy safely, but you..."

A glint flashed in Chu Shengfan's eyes. "I'm afraid I'll be staying in the capital for quite some time. I hope you can let my teacher know I'm safe."

Zheng Yuandao remained silent. When Grand Master Luo Xuan specifically instructed him to bring Chu Shengyuan back safely, he had already anticipated that something would happen during this trip to the capital.

However, it was completely unexpected that the appearance of the True King would be involved, as well as forces outside the dynasty like Medicine King Valley.

After the blood lotus-formed path slowly dissipated and many clan elders and dynasty nobles disappeared into the clouds, guards approached Chu Shengfan.

"Lord Yanling, the residence is ready. Please return."

The true king's orders were executed swiftly. In just a few minutes, the title had been changed, the mansion was prepared, and the guards to "take care" of him were probably already arranged.

"Brother, are Sister Yin Yue and the others coming back with us too?" Chu Shengyuan asked urgently, remembering something.

Chu Shengfan nodded slightly. "Go back, everyone. Just leave me here alone."

Despite saying that, Chu Shengfan still had some worries in his heart. He was afraid that because of his relationship, the Jingyuan royal family would take notice of his family. If something unexpected happened to his family because of him, he would never forgive himself.

"My lord, it's getting late."

The guard who gave the reminder was only at the mid-level of the Domain Rank. Chu Shengyuan glared at him and said, "Hurry, hurry, hurry, what's the rush? I'm just talking to my brother for a few minutes, are you in such a hurry?"

The guard's expression stiffened for a moment, but he quickly put on a smile again. "I am only following His Majesty the True King's orders. After all, we would not be able to explain ourselves if we did not take Marquis Yanling to the mansion soon."

Chu Shengfan waved his hand, "Never mind, let's go. Please lead the way."

With that, Chu Shengfan smiled and nodded to Xiao Yuan, then turned and followed the guards as they left into the clouds.

"Brother..." Chu Shengyuan couldn't help but call out, but Chu Shengfan ultimately did not turn around.

"After you return to the academy, go home and visit your family."

As the voice drifted over, Chu Shengfan's figure gradually disappeared behind the clouds.
