Beast Taming: I can even raise gods and demons!

Chapter 114 Dividing the Spoils

The dungeon of the city lord's mansion.

City Lord Bai Tianyu and Yun Canghai, along with a group of others, surrounded a cage.

Zhang Hai from the Animal Breeders Association was among them.

If Chu Xuan and Ye Hao were present, they would definitely have noticed that their fathers... the heads of the major families in Donghai City were all here!

A group of people stood around a cage, their faces somewhat gloomy.

The cage was made of meteorite iron, exceptionally sturdy, and shimmered with an eerie light.

Inside the cage, a man in black robes had his hands and feet bound by chains, even his collarbones were locked, and his head was hanging down.

Strangely enough, in this technologically advanced modern world, this person has very long hair.

His hair was disheveled, and blood was still dripping from it, falling to the ground.

On the ground, spiritual lines flickered with light, clearly indicating that a powerful trapping formation had been set up!

Above the black-robed man's head, two steel frames resembling steel arms supported something that looked like a showerhead.

Yun Canghai glanced silently at the black-robed man in the cage, then gently placed his hand on a button on the right side of the instrument.

"Sizzle sizzle!"

A high-voltage current was released from the nozzle-like device on the black-robed man's head, striking him and causing him to smoke.

"You're not going to tell me?"

Yun Canghai said calmly, and pressed the button again.

"Sizzle!"

The man in the black robe trembled violently from the electric shock, his hair standing on end!

"Still not going to tell?"

Yun Canghai pressed the button again.

Another high-voltage current.

"Sizzle!"

The man in black robes trembled violently for a while before roaring, "You fucking ask away! You haven't even asked, and you expect me to tell you?"

"Oh," Yun Canghai said, "If I were to ask, would you answer?"

The man in black robes sneered, "Of course not."

Yun Canghai: "That's right then."

"Sizzle!"

Another electric current struck, causing the man in the black robe to scream in agony.

City Lord Bai Tianyu hurriedly stopped Yun Canghai: "Canghai, don't kill him."

Yun Canghai said casually, "Oh, I was just trying out this device, it's quite fun."

The man in black robes: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Yun Canghai: "Don't worry, although this guy couldn't even withstand one of my moves, he's still a grandmaster-level existence, he won't die so easily."

The man in black robes gritted his teeth and hissed, "A grandmaster of such stature, resorting to despicable tactics and sneak attacks from the shadows... If you dare to fight me fair and square, the outcome is still uncertain!"

Yun Canghai pressed the instrument again with his palm.

"Sizzle!"

Everyone: "..."

It seems like Yun Canghai is getting addicted to playing?

Yun Canghai said quietly, "A bunch of rats who only know how to hide in the shadows and cause trouble, how dare they talk about a fair and square battle?"

"For so many years, your Nightmare Court has been hiding in the shadows, only popping out to cause trouble now and then. When will you dare to be open and aboveboard?"

The man in black robes sneered and remained silent.

Yun Canghai said, "Eighteen years ago, your Nightmare Court headquarters was shattered by our Tang Kingdom's supreme experts, and a group of demon generals scurried around like rats, hiding underground."

"Eighteen years later, you've reappeared, and you're making frequent moves, causing trouble in various secret realms. What exactly are you doing?"

The man in black robes let out another cold laugh.

Yun Canghai pressed the instrument again.

"Sizzle!"

The man in the black robe was rendered listless by the electric shock and was panting heavily.

With his hands behind his back, Yun Canghai said, "Actually, even if you didn't say it, we already guessed what was going on... Isn't it just that we want to find a passage connecting to the Tianyu Realm from among the countless secret realms?"

The man in black robes suddenly changed color!

Bai Tianyu and the others also had their eyes flashing!

Yun Canghai had never told them about this before!

It seems that those above have always held many secrets about the Nightmare Court!

The man in black robes coldly replied, "So what if you guessed it? There are countless secret realms and forbidden zones. Can you really protect every single one of them?"

Yun Canghai shook his head: "We don't need to guard every secret realm or forbidden zone at all."

"These secret realms or forbidden zones are countless rifts connecting different planes to Earth. Trying to find the passage to the Celestial Feather Realm through these rifts is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

The man in black robes sneered and remained silent.

Yun Canghai flipped his wrist and produced a "beast-trapping ring," saying, "The crafting technique for this thing comes from the Heavenly Feather Realm, right?"

"What…" The man in black robes grinned. "Yun Canghai, the youngest grandmaster in the Tang Kingdom, has obtained this thing but doesn't know how to use it?"

After exchanging glances, Yun Canghai and Bai Tianyu left the dungeon.

Upon exiting the dungeon, Bai Tianyu said with deep concern, "Canghai, what exactly is the origin of this Nightmare Court? They can use demonic power to corrupt and control monsters... this..."

"The previous ant and bee swarms were caused by them using demonic power to corrupt the queen ant and queen bee."

"The students of the War God Academy were attacked by wind wolves in the Wind Riding Canyon because they had controlled the Wind Wolf King."

"Later, Chen Fan and the others discovered that their people had used demonic power to corrupt the Bloodpetal Flower King and the Flame Demon Lord in the first secret realm, the Ring Mountain..."

"Don't worry too much," Yun Canghai said. "Using demonic power to corrupt a monster leader will definitely come at a great cost."

"Moreover, it would be impossible to easily control a powerful monster leader."

"Otherwise, this world would have fallen into their hands long ago."

Bai Tianyu and the others were stunned for a moment, then secretly breathed a sigh of relief and nodded at the same time.

Yun Canghai sighed softly and said, "I actually only learned about this Nightmare Court after I broke through to the seventh-grade Grandmaster level..."

"Eighteen years ago, our Tang Kingdom joined forces with other powerful nations and shattered this Nightmare Court into pieces."

"Unexpectedly, only eighteen years later, they've returned with renewed force..."

Bai Tianyu and his group exchanged glances, their expressions turning somewhat grim.

A dark force that, despite the combined efforts of countries around the world, has not been completely eradicated?

Yun Canghai added, "There's no need to worry too much about what they're up to in those secret realms."

"What I don't understand is, why would they attack Donghai City?"

Bai Tianyu sighed and said, "That's something we can't figure out either."

"Apart from the fifth secret realm that we are currently developing, I really can't think of any other place or thing in Donghai City that would be worth such a great deal of effort from them."

"Since the ant swarm began, we've killed four of their grandmaster-level beings and captured one alive!"

"Why do they value Donghai City so much?"

Yun Canghai nodded slightly: "Let me report the situation here first."

As he spoke, he turned to Zhang Hai and said, "Senior, the 'Beast-Trapping Circle' is indeed very strange. I am not good at weapon crafting, so I have informed the Shanghai authorities, and they have sent several weapon crafting masters."

"It should arrive in the next couple of days."

"Okay." Zhang Hai nodded without saying anything more.

Yun Canghai smiled slightly: "Your disciple... is quite interesting, very good."

Zhang Hai laughed heartily: "Of course!"

A group of elderly men and the city lord Bai Tianyu around them all laughed.

……

three days later.

sunset.

Shen Hongxiu, leaning on two crutches, ran to Chen Fan's ward.

But there was no one in the ward.

Even the hospital beds have disappeared.

"hiss!"

Shen Hongxiu frowned and said, "Where did you run off to? You took my Shen family's secret medicine, how come you're still so restless?"

She kicked open the door to Chu Xuan's ward next door.

Chu Xuan was reading a book in his hospital bed.

Even when the door was kicked open, he didn't look up, as if he was used to the noise.

Shen Hongxiu knocked twice on the door with her cane: "Chu Xuan, where is my Chen Fan?"

Chu Xuan raised his head.

Shen Hongxiu turned around: "Forget it, it's pointless to ask you."

Henry Chu: "..."

A nurse walked over.

Shen Hongxiu quickly asked, "Sister, where did my Chen Fan go?"

"Oh!" the nurse said. "The monkey pushed him out to sunbathe...it seems, to the garden behind the inpatient ward."

"Thank you, sister." Shen Hongxiu walked towards the back garden, leaning on her cane.

From afar, one could see countless stars scattered across the sky...

"What?"

Shen Hongxiu was slightly taken aback when she saw Chen Fan place his palm on the head of the golden-feathered gyrfalcon.

The countless starlight points were falling all over the Golden Feather Sea Falcon!

What's going on?

Has the Golden Feathered Sea Eagle broken through its level?

Why is Chen Fan's hand on Jin Yuhai Dongqing's head?

Is Jin Yuhai Dongqing's breakthrough related to Chen Fan?

While Shen Hongxiu was stunned, she saw the golden gyrfalcon gently nuzzle Chen Fan's head, showing a very affectionate manner.

It really has to do with him...

But how did he help Jin Yuhai Dongqing break through?

Could it be that they used the level 16 monster crystal core dug out of that cave?

Shen Hongxiu scratched her head.

In the cave where the Nightmare Garden set up the magic circle, there were many monster corpses, including 5 level 16 monsters and 12 level 15 monsters.

Chen Fan had already dug out those high-level monster cores before the people from Donghai City arrived.

Using those high-level monster cores to help the Golden Feather Sea Falcon break through seems plausible... Perhaps there are monsters among them with the same attributes as the Golden Feather Sea Falcon?

Shen Hongxiu, leaning on her cane, came out: "Fan, did you help Jin Yu Hai Dong Qing increase his combat power level?"

I did much more than just help it increase its combat power level.

I even helped it break through from a high-level transcendent to a low-level lord.

Chen Fan shook his head and said, "If only I had that ability... The Golden Feather Sea Eagle encountered multiple life-threatening crises in a short period of time, which caused it to unleash its potential. I then used the level 16 monster crystal core in that cave to give it a boost, and it broke through."

Is that really the case?

Shen Hongxiu glanced at Chen Fan with a mixture of belief and doubt.

"Chen Fan, you're here?"

As they were talking, Zhen Qing walked over, led by the nurse.

Chen Fan turned his head: "Deputy Commander Zhen, you're here. Your Golden Feathered Falcon..."

"Alright, Chen Fan, that's enough. I didn't mean to blame you." Zhen Qing interrupted Chen Fan. "I came to take Jin Yu away because we really need to enter the Fifth Secret Realm."

Zhen Qing gently stroked the wings of the Golden Feathered Sea Falcon, then leaped onto its back.

Chen Fan said somewhat awkwardly, "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect Jin Yu to encounter such a crisis. This time, I'll help it..."

Zhen Qing waved his hand: "No need to apologize. Taking it out to fight is actually part of its training... Real combat is definitely much better than training in the training area."

Why can't they even let him finish a sentence... Chen Fan was very frustrated.

This woman is clearly angry.

Look, your face is as long as a donkey's, and you still say you're not angry?

Just as Chen Fan was about to speak, he saw Zhen Qing standing on the back of the golden-feathered gyrfalcon, looking down at Shen Hongxiu, and saying calmly, "Chen Fan, since we're friends, I feel it's necessary for me to remind you of something..."

Chen Fan was taken aback: "What?"

Zhen Qing's lips curled up slightly: "The woman standing next to you is a notorious troublemaker in our Donghai City. She's lawless and unruly. Getting entangled with her will only cause you trouble."

Shen Hongxiu, who had been smiling all along, suddenly turned serious: "Sister Zhenqing, aren't you going a bit too far by trying to sow discord right in front of me?"

"They call me a troublemaker, so what?"

"My Chen Fan is a real troublemaker!"

"A mischievous king and a mischievous witch, aren't they a perfect match?"

"I didn't do anything, how did I become a troublemaker?" Chen Fan's face darkened.

"Chen Fan, you'd better watch yourself." Zhen Qing smiled slightly, and the golden-feathered sea eagle beneath her feet immediately took to the air and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"..." Chen Fan watched the golden gyrfalcon disappear, speechless for a moment.

Although I could tell Zhen Qing about Jin Yuhai's breakthrough on WeChat...

But never mind, I'll just give her a surprise.

Shen Hongxiu, standing to the side, sneered, "Old nun, you can't stand to see others do well. I hope you never get married... Hey, Fan, where are you going?"

Chen Fan yawned and ignored her.

Old Ape glanced at Shen Hongxiu, then quickly pushed the hospital bed away.

Shen Hongxiu didn't chase after them, but instead dialed her brother Shen Xiao's number: "Brother..."

As soon as Shen Xiao's image appeared, she burst into a tirade: "You brat, look what you've done!"

Shen Hongxiu covered her ears: "Brother, are you going through menopause? Why are you suddenly scolding me?"

"Inexplicable? You almost killed my Death Spider King, and you call that inexplicable?"

"They didn't kill it! The Death Spider King even swallowed the Blood Petal Flower King's head. Not only has its injury healed, but it's also very likely to break through in the near future!"

"Breakthrough my foot!"

"Brother, let's not talk about that. I have some top-secret information to sell you... It's about Zhen Qing, the deputy leader of the War God Pioneer Group."

"What's wrong?"

"Transfer 20 Alliance Coins to me, and I'll sell this information to you."

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"

"How is that possible? You're already six years old."

"..."

"Brother, this news is really important. I'm not lying to you. If I really lied, how could I escape? Sigh, I'm your own sister. Don't you even trust your own sister?"

"Heh, don't you know how many times you've lied to me since you were a child?"

"Let's get down to business this time, I'm not lying to you... This news involves the balance of power among the three major pioneering groups!"

Shen Xiao hesitated for a moment: "Okay, I'll trust you this time."

20 Alliance Coins have been credited to your account.

Upon hearing the sound of someone entering the tent, Shen Hongxiu's face lit up with a smile: "Brother, I know an amazing person! He helped Zhen Qing upgrade his level 16 Golden Feathered Sea Falcon to level 17!"

Shen Xiao sneered and said, "Within Donghai City, when it comes to beast breeding, besides Master Zhang Hai of the Beast Breeders Association, who else can be considered a remarkable person?"

"Zhen Qing's Golden Feathered Sea Falcon broke through to level 16 almost ten months ago. Even if it breaks through to level 17 now, it's not big news, is it? And you're extorting 20 from me for that?"

"How can you call that a fraud? It sounds awful..."

Shen Hongxiu said, "That's not the point... The point is this extraordinary person I mentioned. He's a student at the War God Academy, in the same year as me, both of us are seniors. I've fallen for him, and I'm planning to win him over to be your... brother-in-law."

"Get lost!" Shen Xiao roared, "A student in your grade can help Zhen Qing raise her Beast Taming level to 17?"

"You brat, lying to others is one thing, but lying to your own brother is another... Tell me where you are right now, or I'll beat the shit out of you and change my surname to yours!"

"Brother, what are you saying? Aren't you already taking my surname?" After saying this, Shen Hongxiu immediately hung up the phone.

"I'm such a failure as a person. I'm such an honest person, but even my own brother doesn't believe me. Zhen Qing even called me a 'mischievous witch'..."

……

Meanwhile, Ye Hao and Shen Daodao went to the hospital.

Shen Daodao glanced at Ye Hao and couldn't help but say, "Hey, all those things have been inventoried. Even if Chen Fan only gives us a small portion, we'll be rich. With these crystal cores and monster corpses, we might even be able to help a beast tamer break through its level!"

Why do you always look so gloomy?

Ye Hao said listlessly, "I was thinking about my succubus... those damn black-robed ones always come out and ruin my plans!"

"Last time I went to the Fourth Secret Realm with Sister Qing, they ruined my plans and even chased me all the way. If they hadn't run away this time, Brother Fan might have already caught two succubi for me!"

Shen Daodao rolled her eyes: "I'm really fed up with you... Is there nothing else in your head besides succubi?"

"Ask your brother Ye Zhan to borrow his level 12 beast. We'll go to the First Secret Realm again in a while and make a big profit."

Ye Hao said weakly, "I already asked yesterday."

Shen Daodao: "He agreed?"

Ye Hao: "He gave me a good scolding, saying I was courting death... Why don't you ask your brother, and we can take that Death Spider King back to the First Secret Realm again?"

Shen Daodao blinked, then dialed Shen Xiao's number.

As soon as the call connected, Shen Xiao launched into a tirade of abuse.

Before Shen Xiao could say another word after he finished cursing, Shen Xiao hung up the phone.

"..." Shen Daodao said sadly, "I haven't said anything yet, why are you saying you're going to kill me? The Death Spider King ate the Blood Petal Flower King's head and got a huge advantage, didn't its injuries heal?"

Just as Ye Hao was about to speak, he suddenly saw the hospital bed being pushed by the Crimson-Eyed Ghost Ape.

"Brother Fan!"

Ye Hao ran a few steps and rushed to the bedside: "Did you see the form I sent you on WeChat before I came to the hospital?"

"Everything has been tallied. The crystal cores are now stored in the War God Academy's warehouse, and the monster corpses have been sent to the War God Academy's cold storage. The head of the teaching department is asking you what to do with them."

"I saw it." Chen Fan tilted his head. "Let's go back to the ward first."

As soon as he returned to the ward, Shen Hongxiu followed him in.

Ye Hao went next door and pushed Chu Xuan's hospital bed over.

"Get out of here, get out of here."

Shen Hongxiu used her cane to knock on Ye Hao and Shen Daodao's door, then sat down on Chen Fan's hospital bed.

Chen Fan lay on the hospital bed, frowning. "What are you doing now?"

"Come on, let's take a group photo." Shen Hongxiu turned on her smart watch, sat on the hospital bed, moved closer to Chen Fan's head, and pointed the camera at herself and Chen Fan.

"eggplant!"

Chen Fan: "..."

A woman's heart, a needle under the sea.

Chen Fan had absolutely no idea what this woman was thinking.

At this moment, Shen Hongxiu opened the photo she had taken and showed it to Chen Fan, saying, "Fan, look at it, isn't it beautiful? Doesn't it look like you just gave birth to my baby and came out of the delivery room?"

"..." Veins bulged on Chen Fan's forehead.

He gritted his teeth, turned on his "computer," and then opened the spreadsheet that Ye Hao had sent him earlier.

Led by the Dean of Students at the War God Academy, a group of teachers had already finished taking inventory of everything.

When Ye Hao sent the form over earlier, Chen Fan had already skimmed through it.

The table clearly shows the approximate market price for everything.

Next to the Blood Petal King, besides the notes indicating 68 jin of blood and 122 petals, there was also an approximate auction price for the blood and petals.

But the auction price is quite different from the market price of other items.

Auction prices fluctuate greatly.

For example, the blood of the Blood Petal Flower King can fetch 50 Alliance Coins per kilogram at auction, but according to the notes above, the final auction price could very well soar to over 150 Alliance Coins!

The blood of the Blood Petal Flower King alone could fetch 1 million Alliance Coins if auctioned off in its entirety!

After all, the blood and petals of the Blood Petal King have miraculous healing effects and can often save lives.

Something that can save a life is no exaggeration to call it priceless.

If it were really put up for auction, I bet all the major powers and powerful families in Donghai City would fight tooth and nail over it.

No one can be sure what the final auction price will be.

Compared to the Blood Petal Flower King, even those five level 16 monsters seem rather insignificant.

Therefore, even the shameless Li Sheng didn't dare to ask Chen Fan for the blood and petals of the Blood Petal King. Instead, he cautiously asked Chen Fan on WeChat if he could give a discount and sell the school a few kilograms of the Blood Petal King's blood and a few petals.

Even powerful families like the Chu and Ye families contacted Chen Fan immediately after Chu Xuan and Ye Hao revealed the information, wanting to buy some of the Blood Petal Flower King's blood and petals at a high price.

The fact that the three major pioneering groups failed to obtain something ultimately fell into Chen Fan's hands, causing a great stir among the upper echelons of Donghai City.

However, the city lord's mansion issued a statement to suppress the matter.

So now no one is coming to the hospital to bother Chen Fan.

……

I really made some extra money this time.

Even if Zhen Qing rolls her eyes at Chen Fan a few more times, Chen Fan will still be grinning from ear to ear.

Aside from the Blood Petal Flower King, the most valuable items are the monster corpses inside the cave.

Among those corpses, there were 5 level 16 monsters, 12 level 15 monsters, and a large number of level 10 to 14 monsters... I guess those two guys from Nightmare's Court went through a lot of trouble to get them here.

In the end, Chen Fan got the biggest advantage.

But while these things are valuable, they are still far inferior to the Blood Petal Flower King.

……

Chen Fan opened his computer, opened the spreadsheet Ye Hao had sent him, and presented it to everyone. He then said, "Everything is here, and the quantities are clearly listed. Except for the Blood Petal Flower King, the approximate market price is marked for everything else."

Even between brothers, accounts should be settled clearly.

"So, how do you suggest we divide it?"

Everyone was stunned...

What does that mean?

Does Chen Fan mean that all these things should be shared among everyone?

When everyone went to Firefeather Mountain before, they said they were going to work for him...

Ye Hao's eyes darted around, and he said, "Brother Fan, you promised to give Shen Daodao two level 9 monster corpses, including their crystal cores."

"Then Chu Xuan said he wanted the corpses of four level 9 monsters."

"Shen Hongxiu is right. She wants ten catties of the Blood Petal Flower Demon's blood, fifteen petals, and fifty catties of the Blood Petal Flower King's body."

"..." Shen Hongxiu and Shen Daodao fixed their murderous gazes on Ye Hao.

Even Chu Xuan's eyes flashed with a fierce light!

If looks could kill, Ye Hao would probably have been torn to pieces by now.

Ye Hao lowered his head and raised his hands: "Never mind what I said."

After a moment of silence, Chu Xuan said, "You can divide it yourself. I have no objection no matter how you divide it."

Shen Hongxiu smiled sweetly: "Me too... Not to mention that you saved my life, if it weren't for you bringing the Golden Feather Sea Eagle, we wouldn't have gotten anything at all."

"And in that final, desperate battle, without your itching powder and strategy, we would have been doomed anyway."

"Even if you don't give me a single petal, I won't say a word."

Shen Daodao wanted to speak, but was glared at fiercely by Shen Hongxiu, and forced to swallow his words.

Ye Hao: "Brother Fan, you decide how to divide it."

"Okay." Chen Fan nodded slightly.

Just then, Zhang Hai called.

Chen Fan answered the call, and Zhang Hai immediately appeared on the screen in front of him.

"Master Zhang Hai!"

Shen Hongxiu and the others were greatly surprised!

7000 words, too lazy to divide it into chapters
