High Martial Arts: A Cataclysmic Beast? I am the only Beast Tamer!

Chapter 167 The Empress's Wavering! A Spy from Jinling!

City Lord's Mansion.

In another cultivation room not far from the secluded cultivation room.

Qin Shiyao closed her eyes and sat cross-legged on a white jade futon.

Waves of source energy emanated from her body.

Click—

In the dark.

A sound like a bottleneck breaking seemed to echo in the air.

Qin Shiyao's aura also suddenly surged, rising significantly before gradually calming down.

Swah——

Qin Shiyao opened her eyes, her tone filled with surprise.

"teacher!"

"I've broken through to the seventh rank!"

Originally, after the secret realm ended, she was only at the peak of the sixth rank.

But thanks to Lu Yu's "Barbecue Beast" move in the Battle of Los Angeles.

After consuming the giant beast's flesh and absorbing a significant amount of energy, Qin Shiyao finally made a successful advancement today.

"Stable realm, solid aura, not bad."

Within Qin Shiyao's consciousness space.

The illusory figure of the empress, dressed in a purple-gold robe, spoke softly.

only……

The tone of his voice suggested that he was somewhat absent-minded.

"teacher……"

"Is something on your mind?"

Qin Shiyao hesitated for a moment, but in the end, she couldn't help but ask in her heart.

As soon as the words were spoken.

The illusory figure of the empress was stunned for a moment.

A hint of bewilderment appeared on her otherwise perfect, exquisite, and somewhat dignified face.

Something on your mind?

My thoughts...

This moment.

The Empress instinctively wanted to refute her disciple's somewhat disrespectful question.

He moved his lips.

But in the end, he fell silent and sighed softly.

"Is it because of... Lu Yu?"

Qin Shiyao took a light breath and asked tentatively.

This statement came out.

The Empress did not deny it, but the look of bewilderment on her face deepened.

Back then...

She is the dignified Purple Star Empress, ruling over billions of humans.

Whether it's a martial arts supreme being, a saintly sage, or even a demigod-level powerhouse, they all have to kneel down respectfully before her and address her as "Your Majesty the Empress."

even if...

In the end, when the Purple Star was destroyed, the Empress died standing up.

Throughout her life, she almost never owed anyone a favor.

And now?

Yet he owes Lu Yu such a great debt of gratitude for saving his life!

The most fatal thing is...

Lu Yu may not have been aware of this.

"teacher."

"You actually helped Lu Yu in that dream before."

Qin Shiyao remained silent for a moment, unsure of what to say, before finally uttering this sentence.

just.

The Empress's expression remained unchanged.

Instead, she let out a soft sigh:

"Lu Yu himself has already figured out those thirty-three layers of dreams."

"Even if I don't intervene, he might eventually get through it."

"Don't forget..."

"His ultimate method is to be able to smash even a Saint-level behemoth with a single punch."

The Empress finished speaking.

This time.

Qin Shiyao didn't know what to say.

"well--"

"But I, a mere remnant of my soul, don't know what I can do to repay this debt."

The empress left with one last sentence and then fell silent.

Qin Shiyao also fell silent.

This moment.

Almost simultaneously, the same thought popped into their minds.

Lu Yu is a beast tamer, a beast tamer who can even contract with giant beasts!

Could the Empress's soul form also be covered by the contract...?

only.

The moment Qin Shiyao had this thought, she quickly shook her head and dismissed it.

This idea...

That's far too outrageous!

She really didn't dare to say it!

On the other side...

After having this thought, the Empress did not feel the same intense resistance and aversion as before.

instead.

For the first time, a slight wavering appeared in her heart.

The reason for wavering was certainly not just the incidental life-saving grace.

Rather, it was Lu Yu's own ability as a beast tamer that he demonstrated.

It's true, it has somewhat moved the empress.

Perhaps following Lu Yu...

Will her remnant soul eventually be resurrected and regain its strength?

……

……

Los Angeles.

Half a day had passed since Lu Yu woke up.

But on the streets.

Countless people continued to flock to the area, creating a bustling and noisy atmosphere.

Almost everyone's face was filled with joy and excitement at that moment.

"Have you heard?"

"Lu Yu is awake!"

"Hahaha, of course I know! I've been keeping watch outside the City Lord's Mansion the whole time!"

"There are too many people outside the City Lord's Mansion, I can't even squeeze in, I might as well go home and burn incense and pray!"

"No matter what, it's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake..."

"Yes, Lu Yu is the guardian deity of our Luo City!"

"Without him, neither you nor I, nor Los Angeles, would have existed long ago!"

On the streets and alleys, almost everyone was engaged in lively discussions.

Throughout their conversation, they couldn't stop mentioning Lu Yu's name.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

Lu Yu's current status in Luo City is perhaps even greater than that of the God of War himself!

after all.

The lives of the million people in Los Angeles were all saved by Lu Yu.

It can be said that every citizen of Luocheng today owes Lu Yu a life.

And this moment.

on the street.

In the bustling, crowded crowd.

Two seemingly unremarkable middle-aged men dressed in linen clothes had emotions completely different from those around them.

Their faces were filled with bewilderment and shock!

Just a short while ago.

The two men were sent to Luoyang by the three major families of Jinling to gather information.

at first.

Seeing the devastated and ravaged city of Los Angeles, the two felt it was within their expectations.

But...

After entering the city, they were completely dumbfounded!

There are so many people in Los Angeles!

Let alone young adults, even the elderly and children were among them, one after another, acting as if nothing had happened!

"Is the intelligence incorrect?"

"Los Angeles didn't experience any beast tide or besiege by giant beasts at all?"

"But that was a hint from the temple, how could it be wrong?"

Filled with doubt, the two began to try to glean information from the people of Luocheng.

And in fact.

They didn't need to pry any information from the excited and enthusiastic discussions of the people.

They reconstructed the general outline of the Battle of Los Angeles!

But that is precisely why.

These two were completely stunned!

What beast tide of tens of millions, what holy-level behemoth, what Lu Yu transforming into a 30,000-meter-tall humanoid behemoth...

Listen until the end.

Even the Five Saints have broken through the void and arrived!

"This is fucking..."

Do you believe it?

In a dimly lit alley.

The shorter of the two spoke up.

"This is fucking..."

"Who in their right mind would believe this?!"

The other tall, thin man had just finished speaking.

Before his companion could even respond.

At the end of a dark alley.

Suddenly, a laugh with an ambiguous meaning rang out.

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Then I wonder about you two..."

"Where did this respectable person come from?"
