Eternal Beast Taming Family

Upon hearing Chu Jingyu's words, the remaining elders of Chenjia Village dared not raise any objections, after all, the two still-fresh corpses were constantly reminding them of their presence.

"Elders, please rise. Chenjia Village is currently without a village chief, so we are relying on you elders to handle matters."

"How about we elect a village chief now, with the host as our witness?" The elder who had been the first to kneel down asked cautiously after getting up.

Chu Jingyu shook his head slightly, "This is a matter for your Chenjia Village. You can handle it yourself. Once a new village chief is elected, don't forget to report back to the main family."

The elder understood the situation and said, "Then we'll take our leave."

Chu Jingyu nodded and did not stop him.

As the elder passed by the deceased elder, he shook his head and sighed softly. He paused for a moment, then walked out along the main road without hesitation.

"These clan elders and the old village chief have dedicated half their lives to Chenjia Village. It wouldn't be right to just leave them lying around like this. We should find some people to bury them."

Chu Jingyu spoke calmly, causing the elders to stop in their tracks. They turned around and bowed gratefully to Chu Jingyu, saying, "Thank you, Clan Head."

Chu Jingyu turned around, ignoring the elders, and went to Chen Chengwen's body. He squatted down and pulled out the ice lotus that was still rooted in his palm.

Although its aura was weak, this was merely the backlash from the sudden break in the spiritual connection caused by the death of the contractor. At least after a period of recuperation, this ice lotus could still survive.

Then Chu Jingyu took a few more steps and came to the "Cold Howling Bird," which also had several bloody holes in its body but was still breathing weakly. He reached out, grabbed its slender neck, and lifted it up.

Chu Jingyu tightened his grip, and a "crackling" sound rang out between his fingers. This time, the "Cold-Called Strange Bird's" body went completely limp.

Seeing this, the ice lotus in his other palm trembled slightly, and Chu Jingyu casually threw the "Cold-Calling Strange Bird" on the ground.

Then, he gently touched the leaves and petals of the ice lotus with his fingers and said in a low voice, "Whether it can survive or not depends on whether you can play a role later."

Chu Jingyu, holding the root of the ice lotus, returned to the valley once more.

The Golden Armored Jade-Eyed Beast, which was struggling with the Bone Crystal, saw Chu Jingyu arrive and abandoned the Bone Crystal, which had already shattered into small crystal pieces, and eagerly ran to Chu Jingyu's side.

However, her excitement turned into wariness when she saw the ice lotus in his palm.

Holding the ice lotus in his hand, Chu Jingyu walked a distance deeper into the valley until the surrounding "bone crystals" all turned ice blue. A thick layer of ice covered the ground and walls, making them look like ice flowers blooming in the snow.

Even Chu Jingyu, a contract master, could sense a powerful presence not far away without using the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast's" skills.

Chu Jingyu stopped in his tracks, not daring to go any further. He raised his arm, revealing the ice lotus, and used energy to envelop his voice so that it could travel further.

"Senior Source Beast, this Ice Lotus should have some connection with you. The contractor who made a contract with it has been executed for his evil deeds, and I have come to return it to you."

Upon hearing Chu Jingyu's voice, ice crystals drifted out from the depths of the valley, floating gently in the air like a river.

The river of light seemed to become the eye of the source beast in the valley, observing Chu Jingyu and the source beast in its hand.

The "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" has already shattered the ice on the ground. As soon as the source beast deep in the valley makes a move, it will immediately run away with Chu Jingyu.

However, perhaps the source beast deep in the valley was of a quiet nature, for it parted some light from the river of light and let it fall onto the ice lotus in Chu Jingyu's hand.

It is visibly that the condition of the ice lotus has improved a lot. At least it is no longer limp and droopy, but has straightened its stems and the flower buds are slowly opening.

As more points of light emerged, Chu Jingyu took a step back and then spoke:

"I can return this ice lotus to you, senior, but you should also return the humans hiding here to me."

After saying this, Chu Jingyu stared nervously at the frozen river in the void in front of him. To be honest, it was not very wise to negotiate with a spirit-level source beast in its territory.

However, in order to eliminate the threat completely, Chu Jingyu had to take a gamble. If he failed, he would have to arrange for people to block the exit of the valley. He did not believe that those people could survive in the valley for long.

After a moment of silence, several ice-blue vines suddenly emerged from the depths of the valley, with several large ice blocks hanging from their ends, and human figures could be seen within the ice blocks.

Two beautiful women, a dignified lady, and two children around eleven or twelve years old—these all matched the age, number, and gender of the people he was hunting down.

Without him having to lift a finger, Chen Chengwen's family members who had wandered into the valley had already been frozen into ice sculptures by the source beasts living there.

After confirming that the group had indeed lost all signs of life, Chu Jingyu gently placed the ice lotus on the ice in front of him, and then led the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" away from the depths of the valley.

Back at the entrance to the valley of the mansion, Chu Jingyu closed the gate and then had the "Golden Armor Jade Eye Beast" condense golden sand to seal the entire entrance, so as to prevent any other people from accidentally running in.

After that, we can harvest the "bone crystal" resources on the edge of the valley. Whether for sale or for family use, it's a good idea.

As for the spirit-level source beast deep in the valley, we can only visit it after someone in the family advances to the spirit level.

Chu Jingyu had no intention of reporting it to higher authorities. If he did, the resources in the entire valley would likely become completely irrelevant to the Chu family.

After sealing the gate, Chu Jingyu returned to the courtyard of the main hall. The corpse that had been lying on the ground was nowhere to be seen; it must have been collected by the villagers of Chenjia Village.

The carriage was gone, so he had no choice but to run back on his own. Chu Jingyu smiled helplessly and had no intention of going back to cause trouble for the driver at Jinbao Carriage Company. After all, what had happened here had completely exceeded the scope of their business services.

Chu Jingyu picked up the corpse of the "Cold-Calling Strange Bird," put the "Golden-Armored Jade-Eyed Beast" back into his source beast space, and his aura subsided, making him look like an old man returning from hunting in the mountains, slowly strolling along the road.

However, upon closer inspection, although he appeared to be an old man, his pace was much faster than that of the villagers sitting in the carriage.

The village chief of Chenliu Village died, and a new village chief was appointed. Chenliu Village was renamed Chenjia Village.

A series of news reports about Chenliu Village were reported to the town, but the town mayor remained remarkably calm upon receiving them.

He smiled and said to Zhang Yu, "It seems that the old gentleman from the Chu family made a move. But Chen Chengwen was able to easily kill two mid-level alien-rank source beasts. Can he really gain such a big improvement from just one trip to the outer realm?"

Zhang Yu crossed his arms and said, "Our family has just been established, and our fortunes are at their peak. It's normal for us to have some amazing opportunities."

Tang Cheng slowly shook his head, "When does your Zhang family plan to deal with Qianyu Village? A new family has already made a move, and your Zhang family is still cowering like this."

Zhang Yu sighed, "I have relatively little say in the family. It's probably because the shadow left by the Liu family over the years is too heavy. The elders in the family would rather give up the land in Qianyu Village and maintain the current status quo."

"It seems the Zhang family is really getting old." Tang Cheng walked out of the house with his hands behind his back. "But you are still young. You should be able to handle the village chief by yourself."

It's going to rain tomorrow, so Chief Prosecutor Zhang should take a day off and get some rest.

Zhang Yu's face was hidden behind the door, and only a faint "Yes" could be heard floating from inside the room.
