Beast Taming: I can even raise gods and demons!

Chapter 165 Reencounter with the Old Blind Man (7277 words)

That's how it is...

Standing beside a giant demon corpse, Chen Fan recounted the whole story.

However, he concealed the fact that the cult leader's soul had possessed the orange cat.

Bai Tianyu and Yun Canghai stared in shock at the rotten, mangled corpse of the demon before them.

In the Nightmare Court, a group of powerful figures are hunting down the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect...

The leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect was outnumbered, but in the end, he used all his strength to trap them with the Five-Colored Divine Stone.

Uncle Qian sensed something was wrong and tried to investigate by hiding himself, but he was severely injured by the aftershocks of the power emanating from the Five-Colored Divine Stone and fainted.

Chen Fan heard the call of the Five-Colored Divine Stone and came over, but the old ape's "Shadow Curtain" was seen through.

The leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect ordered Chen Fan to kill one of them.

Chen Fan went over, but instead of listening to the Heavenly Demon Sect Leader's words, he grasped the Five-Colored Divine Stone as instructed.

His star power was instantly drained, and the five-colored divine stone shone brightly.

A group of powerful warriors from the Nightmare Court were severely injured by the power of the Five-Colored Divine Stone.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect crushed the head of the strongest among them with his claws, but was also struck in the chest by that person and sent flying backward.

Just as the other Nightmare Court experts were about to kill the Heavenly Demon Cult Leader...

The Demon Empress suddenly appeared!

A group of powerful warriors from the Nightmare Court scattered and fled.

But Ye Hongyan casually crushed them all to death with a single move.

However, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect succumbed to his injuries.

The Empress took the Five-Colored Divine Stone, which then merged into her body.

Then, the Empress landed and pointed a finger at Chen Fan's forehead.

Chen Fan fainted.

When he woke up again, more than twenty minutes had passed, and his star power had inexplicably been fully restored.

……

This is the "story" that Chen Fan just told.

Even powerful figures like Bai Tianyu and Yun Canghai couldn't help but feel their hearts pound with fear when they imagined the dangers involved!

A group of ninth-grade cultivators...

Six level 40 demons!

Any one of them could easily raze a major city to the ground!

As a result, a large group appeared right here on Qixing Mountain!

Even more unimaginable is that a mysterious empress appeared later, crushing a group of ninth-rank cultivators with a single move!

Although those ninth-rank cultivators and demons were already severely injured, but...

Bai Tianyu turned to look at Yun Canghai, his voice a little hoarse, and said, "Canghai, do you know the Demon Empress?"

Yun Canghai said with a solemn expression, "Regarding the demon race... I have heard my teacher mention it once."

Bai Tianyu's expression shifted: "Minister Li told you about the demon race?"

Yun Canghai shook his head: "I only overheard my teacher talking to another powerful figure once, and he mentioned it, but I don't know the specifics."

"The only thing we can be sure of is that this demon race and the demon empress are not our enemies."

Bai Tianyu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

At this moment, Chen Fan suddenly said weakly, "Senior Brother Bai, these things... should be considered my spoils of war, right?"

"..." Bai Tianyu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Chen Fan's finger pointing at the huge demon's corpse in front of him.

Chen Fan was carrying a package, and the handles of several weapons were clearly visible on the outside of the package!

Bai Tianyu blinked and laughed: "Yes, they'll all be your spoils."

"When the Black Armor Army arrives, I'll have them drag it back and deal with it."

Chen Fan nodded: "That's good!"

Bai Tianyu then looked at Yun Canghai: "Canghai, contact Shanghai."

Yun Canghai nodded slightly, then suddenly soared into the sky.

Before long, three powerful Black Armor Army warriors arrived, leading dozens of Black Armor Army soldiers.

Bai Tianyu waved his hand, and the black-armored army immediately scattered.

One of them summoned a healing beast and stepped forward to heal Uncle Qian's wounds.

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Uncle Qian's injuries were beginning to heal and his complexion had improved considerably.

"Junior brother..."

Bai Tianyu also came over and said, "Lao Qian's injuries are quite serious. Several other healing beasts will be coming over later. We need those beasts to heal him before we can send him back."

"Let me have the Black Armor Army send you back first."

"No need, Senior Brother," Chen Fan waved his hand and said, "I can go back by myself."

Bai Tianyu didn't say much, but simply patted Chen Fan's shoulder gently.

Chen Fan waved his hand and led Xiao Bai and Gangzi back.

The orange cat mingled among a group of tamed beasts, following Chen Fan wagging its tail happily.

Only after leaving Shuiyun Ravine and reaching the mountain path did Chen Fan turn around and look at the orange cat: "Little Orange, wanna sign a contract?"

"I won't sign! I'm a human being, not a beast!"

"Signing the contract will grant access to the Beast Taming Space."

"As if anyone wants that beast-taming space. I am the dignified leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect. You want me to go into that dark, murky beast-taming space and become your beast tamer? Take that line back... You're dreaming!"

"You're learning pretty fast... The Beast Taming Space isn't completely dark, and you can hide inside if you encounter danger..."

"Stop talking nonsense. I've already made the biggest concession by agreeing to follow you. We're at most partners. There's no way you'd let me become your tamed beast."

"Okay, actually I don't want to take in a level 1 useless cat either."

"What do you mean?"

"Literally... You have the nerve to call me a partner? Why would I need to partner with you? Partner with what? Petting cats? I already have Xiaobai."

"..."

As the old saying goes: One cat is enough.

"Is there such an ancient saying?"

"Of course there are, but you're not from Earth, so it's normal that you don't know."

"..."

As they were talking...

A group of boar-men suddenly rushed out from ahead.

The boar-men, all carrying spears, were patrolling the area like hunters.

Upon seeing Chen Fan and Xiao Bai, the leader of the boar-men immediately raised his hand and swung his spear fiercely: "Roar, roar roar roar!"

A group of boar-men rushed excitedly toward Chen Fan.

The orange cat was terrified: "Quick...quick, quick, kill those monsters!"

"The boar-men are attacking!"

Chen Fan frowned: "What's all the fuss about? It's just a level 7 boarman."

"So it's only level 7..." The orange cat breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, a chill ran down his spine: "Even a level 7 player can't beat me! I'm only level 1!"

A level 7 boarman can kill a hundred level 1 saber-toothed orange cats in less than a minute!

"Oh, so you know you're only level 1? Didn't someone just refuse to admit they were a useless cat?"

Chen Fan smiled mockingly and waved his hand lightly.

Gangzi, who could no longer contain himself, was the first to rush forward.

Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing followed closely behind.

Emerald, however, wasn't particularly interested in the killing and remained perched on Chen Fan's head, watching the show with wide eyes.

The old ape was about to intervene, but the orange cat held him back: "Little monkey, you stay here and protect me!"

The old ape scratched his head speechlessly.

The wild boar-men have already been stopped by Little White and the others, and this orange cat is still so scared...

The old ape had no choice but to stay.

That's because it's Old Ape. If it were Gangzi, he'd probably slap the orange cat twice more.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Watching Little White and his friends fight the boar-men ahead, the orange cat was speechless.

He would never have given a second glance to such childish fighting before.

but now……

The two sides fighting ahead, any skill from either the beast or the monster could instantly kill him!

Ugh……

A triumphant cat is more powerful than a tiger, while a plucked phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken.

Unexpectedly, after more than three hundred years of dominating the Demon Sea in the Heavenly Feather Realm, he is now terrified of a group of low-level boar-men...

Overwhelmed by her sorrow, Little Orange raised a paw and roared, "I swear I will never forgive the Nightmare Court!"

Chen Fan turned his head and glanced at Xiao Ju behind him, speechless.

After letting out a roar, Little Orange felt much better, lowered its paws, and gently licked its paws.

Immediately...

He froze, as if struck by a spell, completely still.

Why...

Why do I lick my paws?

Little Orange stared at its paws in terror.

The battle was over in a few breaths.

Chen Fan went up and dug out all the crystal cores.

"Let's go, Little Orange!"

After installing the crystal core, Chen Fan waved to the orange cat that was still in a daze on the other side.

The orange cat followed the old ape, looking somewhat lost and dejected.

……

As the sun sets, it casts a golden glow.

The old blind man sat on the bluestone by the flower bed, lazily basking in the sun.

His broken bowl and walking stick were placed beside him.

The bowl was completely empty.

People came and went, and apart from the group of beggars not far away, no one paid any attention to this blind man.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, the blind man stood up, moved a few steps to the side, and sat down behind a large tree.

From the southwest, Chen Fan slowly walked towards them, carrying two large bags.

One was a package for everyday travel, and the other was a package containing a bunch of weapons belonging to ninth-grade experts.

Behind him, a chubby orange cat followed closely.

As Chen Fan walked past the flower bed, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the blind man out of the corner of his eye.

The blind man leaned against a big tree, as if he were sleeping.

Chen Fan was stunned for a moment.

Isn't this the old blind man I met at the West City gate the other day?

How did you end up at the Animal Breeders Association from the West City?

Chen Fan frowned, put down the package, rummaged through one of the packages, and took out a large piece of dried meat and a bottle of water.

The old blind man immediately sat up straight!

Then, he shakily picked up the broken bowl and cane from the ground, stood up, and tried to leave.

"Old man!"

Chen Fan chased after him with the dried meat, saying, "I have some food here! Here you go!"

The blind man waved his hands repeatedly, saying, "Thank you, thank you, I'm not hungry!"

Ignoring everything else, Chen Fan placed the dried meat and water together on the blind man's broken bowl, then walked towards the gate of the Beast Tamer Association.

He had only turned around and walked less than five meters...

A group of beggars rushed over from the other side, snatched the bowl from the blind man's hand, and kicked the old blind man to the ground!

The old blind man: "..."

Chen Fan, who had turned around, was speechless.

Chen Fan came back.

The group of beggars scattered and ran away.

Chen Fan beckoned to the group of beggars with his finger: "Come here, all of you."

These beggars are just ordinary people who haven't awakened to reality.

How could an elderly and frail ordinary person dare to disobey the orders of a beast tamer or a star warrior?

All the beggars cautiously returned.

Chen Fan went over and slapped each of the beggars to the ground.

No one dared to resist.

No one could resist.

Why make things difficult for the poor?

Chen Fan took out all the food from the package, kept one piece, and threw the rest to the group of beggars.

The beggars picked up the items, thanked them profusely, and ran away.

Chen Fan helped the old blind man up: "Grandpa, are you alright?"

The old blind man gritted his teeth: "It's you again..."

Chen Fan grinned: "Senior, you can really 'see' me?"

The old blind man snorted coldly and said, "I remember your scent!"

"Really?" Chen Fan was silent for a moment before saying, "I left you a piece of meat and a bottle of water... I live inside the Beast Tamer Association. If you have any difficulties in the future, just tell the guards at the gate, and they will take you to me."

The old blind man sighed and gently patted Chen Fan's arm: "Young man, you have a kind heart. Thank you."

Chen Fan helped the old blind man to the grass under the big tree.

Meanwhile, the orange cat watched all of this unfold.

This kid has a pretty good heart...

The old cult leader chuckled inwardly, then naturally turned his head, wanting to lick the buttocks.

But as soon as his tongue came out, he stopped and then froze.

Why...

Why would I do something so shameful in public?

I'm just a soul possessing an orange cat's body!

My soul is clearly in control of everything!

Why am I making such a strange move?

Just then, the old cult leader heard a cat meow from behind him.

He turned his head and saw a stray cat walk over, circle him twice, and keep sniffing him.

This silly cat...

The old cult leader ignored it and looked at Chen Fan, wanting to urge him on.

Suddenly, the stray cat circled behind him and then lay down on him...

Ok?

The old cult leader paused for a moment, then flew into a rage, turned around, and with both paws, delivered a flurry of punches to the stray cat.

Stray cats are just cats that haven't awakened to their true nature.

The leader was, after all, a level 1 saber-toothed orange cat. With a flurry of wild punches, he made the stray cat howl and run away for its life.

The orange cat raised its head and growled indignantly, "Chen Fan, go home right now! I don't like this place!"

Chen Fan: "..."

Throughout the journey, the cult leader was constantly on the verge of going berserk.

No wonder, a once-powerful leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect suddenly lost all his cultivation and turned into an orange cat, and even his Five-Colored Divine Stone was stolen...

It's really hard for most people to accept.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and let's go!"

Seeing that Chen Fan hadn't moved, the orange cat urged him again.

The old blind man asked, puzzled, "Your grandfather is urging you to leave, why aren't you going yet?"

Chen Fan: "..."

Is the old blind man truly blind, or is he pretending not to?

Hearing the orange cat's aged voice, I mistook it for my grandfather.

Chen Fan rolled his eyes and waved to the orange cat.

The chubby orange cat quickly followed.

A person and a cat walked towards the Animal Breeders Association.

Behind him, the old blind man tilted his head slightly and gave the orange cat a deep "look".

……

Inside the luxurious villa...

Lin Shao of "Protect You Animal Breeding Studio" was sitting on the sofa, browsing some information on his computer.

A pretty woman walked in and said, "Young Master Lin, we haven't been able to get through to Liu Jian and the others by phone, and they haven't replied to our messages either."

Liu Jian was none other than Boss Liu, who was sent to hunt down Chen Fan.

Lin Shao raised his head and said calmly, "Liu Jian and the others are probably tracking that kid named... oh, Chen Fan, right?"

The beautiful woman nodded and said, "When I contacted Liu Jian last time, he told me that he and two others had followed Chen Fan out of the city to the Seven Star Mountain Water Cloud Stream."

Lin Shao nodded slightly: "It's normal that there's no signal over at Shuiyunjian."

"He's just a nobody, don't worry about him too much."

"Tell me after Liu Jian confirms that he has cut off his head."

"Yes!" The woman lowered her head and left.

A short while after the woman left, a middle-aged man dressed in black walked in.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man, Lin Shao frowned: "What is it?"

The middle-aged man closed the door, walked over, and whispered, "It seems something big has happened at Seven Star Mountain..."

"Our people discovered that the city lord and Yun Canghai went to the Seven Star Mountain Water Cloud Stream."

"What!" Young Master Lin was taken aback.

It was just killing a nobody from the capital, yet it alarmed the city lord and Yun Canghai?

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Lin Shao's forehead.

At this moment, the middle-aged man said again, "According to our people planted within the Black Armor Army, there seems to be some mysterious powerful figures engaged in a fierce battle there, which has alarmed the city lord and the others..."

Damn it!

Why the hell didn't you say so earlier?!

Young Master Lin glared fiercely at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was baffled.

Lin Shao breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back, and asked, "What exactly happened? Something that could alarm the City Lord and Yun Canghai?"

"It's not certain yet," the middle-aged man said. "Our people planted within the Black Armor Army didn't participate in this operation. We've only heard that several powerful figures have died at Seven Star Mountain."

"The Black Armor Army dragged several enormous demon corpses out of Seven Star Mountain."

"Demon corpses?!" Lin Shao exclaimed in surprise. "You mean, all the powerful figures who participated in the great war were accompanied by demons? And then all those people and the demons died?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, but the men I sent discovered that the Black Armor Army dragged at least six demon corpses out of Seven Star Mountain."

"Those demons are enormous and strangely shaped; they must be quite powerful!"

"Conservatively speaking, they should all be above level 30."

"Strangely, the city lord and Yun Canghai did not participate in this battle."

"They just realized it too late and rushed over there."

"The city lord's mansion has blocked the news, so I don't know the specifics."

Lin Shao frowned and waved his hand, "I understand, you may leave."

"Keep an eye on this matter, and get back to me immediately if you have any news."

The middle-aged man bowed slightly: "Yes!"

Just as the middle-aged man turned around...

Lin Shao frowned again and said, "Also, I've told you hundreds of times, don't wear night clothes during the day!"

The middle-aged man nodded: "Yes, Young Master Lin, I understand."

After the middle-aged man left the house, Lin Shao flicked his finger, a flash of light appeared at his fingertip, and a wisp of energy precisely struck a button on the table.

A pale blue light shield immediately appeared, enveloping the area around Lin Shao.

Lin Shao dialed a phone: "Master, something big seems to have happened at Seven Star Mountain. It seems people from there are involved. Several high-level demons have been killed..."

……

Animal Breeders Association.

Training Course.

Xiaobai and Gangzi were playing on the grass.

Beside the stone table, Chen Fan silently watched the orange cat on the grass beside him.

The orange cat lay on the grass, looking utterly dejected.

[Monster Name]: Saber-toothed Orange Cat, Little Orange

[Combat Power Level]: 1

[Race Level]: Intermediate Extraordinary

[Monster Attribute]: Wood

[Beast Weakness]: Gold

[Racial Skills]: Thorn Entanglement+, Bite+

[Monster Status]: Frustrated, on the verge of collapse

[Requirements to Reach Level 2]: The First Method...

"Little Orange, are you sure you don't want to sign a contract with me?"

Chen Fan said, "If you sign a contract with me, I can help you level up."

The orange cat turned its head, gave Chen Fan a cold glance, and said indifferently, "Kid, if you agree to help me get that five-colored divine stone from the forbidden area, I will teach you unparalleled martial arts."

Unparalleled martial arts?

Chen Fan grinned.

This kind of thing might drive many beast tamers or star warriors crazy.

After all, these words came from the mouth of the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

The cult leader may not be able to defeat Empress Ye Hongyan.

But it's definitely much stronger than a regular ninth-rank.

The six people who were chasing him were all at the Ninth Rank, Third Heaven!

The other two people he killed were even more powerful than the other six!

but……

For Chen Fan, the so-called "peerless martial arts" held no appeal whatsoever.

With the Beast Taming System, even the most basic cultivation techniques from the War God Academy are sufficient for Chen Fan.

Now, there's no need to use system energy to convert star power at all; Chen Fan is already feeling overwhelmed by the star power that Xiaobai and the others are feeding him.

The next time Chen Fan helps Xiaobai and the others level up, he will need to give them a special reminder... so that they don't give back so much star power.

Other beast tamers or star warriors cultivate diligently, and also need to use elixirs and rare and precious materials.

Chen Fan's star power at each stage is now showing an "overflowing" state!

If this gets out, I don't know how many beast tamers and star warriors will grind their teeth in anger!

But that's not enough...

Chen Fan doesn't have system energy yet!

There aren't many beasts being trained yet, and the system's energy hasn't really started to unleash its power!

With more tamed beasts and more system energy, you can directly use system energy to temper your bones or open your meridians, wouldn't your cultivation speed increase by leaps and bounds?!

I want your "peerless martial arts"?

What martial arts manual is more powerful and exaggerated than my system?

As for swordsmanship and knife skills...

Chen Fan felt that he could use the "Nine Blades to Sever Heaven" technique for a lifetime.

because……

The system panel displays the Nine Heavenly Blades!

Without a doubt, this is an absolutely superb swordsmanship!

In a short period of time, mastering this one knife skill is sufficient.

Whether you're a Beastmaster or a Star Warrior, I'll just slash you!

Shattering the heavens, splitting the chaos!

Who's lost their mind and insists on mastering all eighteen weapons?

As for martial arts...

Only those who have reached the third rank can cultivate martial arts and various escape techniques.

However, after reaching the third rank, Beast Tamers can borrow the skills of their beasts.

With so many beasts under Chen Fan's control, he can use any skill he wants without worrying about his beasts becoming unable to use a particular skill for a short period of time.

Martial arts didn't hold much appeal for Chen Fan.

If there are good martial arts techniques, you can learn them.

No, it doesn't matter.

Why not just copy Xiaobai and Gangzi's skills directly?

"Feed?"

Seeing that Chen Fan remained unmoved, the orange cat said incredulously, "I am the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect. Do you know just how powerful I am? The martial arts I practice..."

"How powerful are you?" Chen Fan stroked his chin. "Didn't you get killed by the people from the Nightmare Court?"

"Bullshit!" The orange cat stood up angrily. "If they hadn't poisoned me, I could crush them like ants!"

"Calm down, calm down!" Chen Fan stretched out his palm and pressed it down, saying, "I advise you to give up on the Five-Colored Divine Stone."

"You definitely can't get the one in the Empress's hand. You couldn't even beat her in your prime, so it's even more impossible now."

"That one in the restricted area of ​​Shanghai..."

"To be honest, even if I were to break through to the seventh-grade Grandmaster realm now, I still wouldn't go... I want to live a few more years."

"And the people of the Nightmare Court already know that the Five-Colored Divine Stone exists in that forbidden area, yet they'll just silently wait for you to take it?"

"Their men might be storming that restricted area right now!"

"Hmph!" The orange cat snorted coldly, "They can't get it... Inside that forbidden zone is an ancient formation, constructed from the power of the Five-Colored Divine Stone. No matter how many people from the Nightmare Court enter, they all die!"

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly: "Then what makes you think you can enter that ancient formation?"

The orange cat chuckled arrogantly and said, "This cat... bah! This one is proficient in weapon crafting and formations... Last time I entered that forbidden zone, I resonated with the power of the five-colored divine stones within my body, and finally managed to replicate the formation!"

"After that, it took me a full eighteen years to break that great formation!"

Why is it another eighteen years?

Chen Fan's expression shifted slightly.

I have a feeling that a lot happened eighteen years ago... things related to him.

The orange cat continued, "Give me some time to recover some of my strength. As long as I can enter that forbidden area and have enough materials, I can break that great formation!"

Chen Fan spread his hands: "So, you still need to become stronger."

"In your current state, let alone those legendary ninth-rank officials, even a fifth or sixth-rank official could be reduced to ashes in one breath."

"You can't even get through the penalty area."

The orange cat was extremely frustrated. It lay sprawled on the ground with its limbs outstretched, its face full of despair.

Chen Fan continued, "I've asked you about the contract several times already..."

"This is the last time."

"If you still don't agree this time, it won't be so easy for you to beg me next time."

The orange cat scoffed, "I'd beg you to sign a contract with me? You're quite the comedian."

Chen Fan smiled but remained silent.

As they were talking, Ling Kongyu sent a message on WeChat.

"Chen Fan, are you back from Seven Star Mountain? Are you staying at the Beast Tamer Association? Mu Yuan and I will come to find you later."

"You're back, come on over."

After closing WeChat, Chen Fan searched for information about the demon race...

No useful information was found.

Any monster, whether it is an evolution of mountains, rivers, plants, trees, birds, or beasts, can be called a "demon".

However, it seems that there is no such thing as a demon race on Earth.

They collectively referred to these as "monsters".

To be precise, those who haven't signed contracts are monsters, while those who have are beast tamers.

Chen Fan frowned and searched for information about the Empress again.

There is no relevant information either.

In the technologically advanced modern society, although the Tang Dynasty had an imperial capital, it did not have an emperor.

Chen Fan turned his head slightly and looked at the orange cat, asking, "What is the background of that Empress Ye Hongyan?"

The orange cat, without even looking up, said, "The Demon Empress."

Chen Fan: "..."

----------

I had a bit of writer's block today; my thoughts weren't flowing smoothly, and I only managed 7277 words.
