My Card Beast Taming Game

He needs an ID card for his new phone number, so he plans to get an anonymous one later...

Xing Keji: "Haha, bro, the Pan family's doomed!"

"Ok?"

Zhou Chen checked the unread message and quickly replied: "What do you mean?"

Hey.

Xing Keji replied almost instantly: "They colluded with the Romulans and destroyed the sealing array of the Hungry Wolf Secret Realm ahead of schedule. The Heavenly Wolf awakened prematurely. Currently, statistics show that over seventy novice card masters and over three hundred apprentice card masters have died in Dan Jincheng alone."

Zhou Chen: "Colluded with the Romulans to destroy the sealing array? Why?"

Xing Keji: "Because this time it's Jincheng's turn, they want to create some trouble for Yue Yong, preventing him from pushing for the merger of the two cities..."

After a few words, Zhou Chen roughly understood the situation.

The Pan family has one minister, two directors, and many staff members in the Maple City Association. However, both the minister and the directors are over eighty years old. If the two cities merge, they will most likely have to retire.

As the saying goes, greed corrupts people's hearts. There are so many powerful families in Jincheng and Fengcheng, and they are scrambling for high-ranking positions in the local associations. Once the merger is successful, the Pan family will inevitably be kicked out of the center of power.

Their original intention was probably to create incidents and public opinion to buy time so that their new generation could grow up, but unfortunately they went too far.

Zhou Chen: "How were you discovered?"

Xing Keji: "I don't know. All I know is that Yue Yong personally led a team to the Pan family compound, their defensive array was dismantled, and many people were arrested."

Zhou Chen: "Didn't a fight break out?"

Xing Keji: "A fight? If a fight breaks out, the Pan family will be wiped out. Why do you think these days powerful families need to wear a club's guise? The one at the top loves confiscating property; he'd love for you to rebel!"

Zhou Chen: '...'

The person Xing Keji mentioned at the very top is the current president of the Zhuxia Card Master Association, who is also the strongest in the Zhuxia Card Master world and is known as invincible throughout the world.

Under his suppression, the three capitals, six prefectures, and ten islands enjoyed unprecedented stability.

The powerful families were forced to accept his oppressive rule and follow the rules he set.

This also led to a gradual decrease in the number of small aristocratic families year by year.

Xing Keji's prediction that the Pan family was doomed was based on the fact that the number of aristocratic families dominated by high-level card masters had been gradually decreasing in recent years.

Xing Keji: "Just wait and see, brother. These guys think it's no big deal if a bunch of commoner card masters die. They're all outdated relics."

I'll look forward to it.

Zhou Chen added an emoji, looked at the electric scooter charging beside him, and raised an eyebrow.

Did we go there for nothing again?

Is the reason why Sirius Devouring the Moon caused such a huge uproar because too many people died?

He sent a message to Mei Xian, but she did not reply.

"Never mind, we're already here."

Zhou Chen stood up, got on his fully charged electric scooter, and headed towards Bi Chao Island. He needed to settle down as soon as possible so that his dungeon runs in the middle of the night wouldn't be affected.

-

Maple City.

The sound of wailing continued throughout the Pan family compound.

Yue Yong stood before the dilapidated gate, his feet resting on the plaque bearing the words "Pan Family," his disdainful gaze sweeping over the Pan family members who were being escorted out.

High in the sky, there was a huge jade seal-shaped object, which rotated leisurely, occasionally absorbing a breath of fresh air drifting down from below.

"Yue Yong! You arrested people without any evidence! Do you really think the Pan family has no backing?"

A roar suddenly came, and a person was led out in an extremely humiliating position with shackles tightly binding his neck and hands.

Yue Yong laughed and said, "Old fogies like you who can't keep up with the times should have retired from the stage of history long ago. Backer? You've colluded with the Romulans without authorization. Do you think your so-called backer would dare to answer your phone?"

"Framed! Shameful frame-up! So many businesses in Fengcheng, which one doesn't have business dealings with outsiders? You're deliberately framing them!"

Pan Chong'an's hair and beard stood on end, and his spiritual power, belonging to a high-level card master, surged like a tidal wave, attempting to break through the constraints of his body. However, as the jade seal in mid-air spun around, he suddenly fell silent.

At this moment, he couldn't even materialize his platinum-level spirit card.

Yue Yong sneered, "Call me whatever you want. You have cultivation but no vision, a bunch of bloodsucking worms clinging to the land of Zhuxia!"

In the far distance, several onlookers sighed, "They actually brought out the Spiritual Tranquilizing Seal; it seems the Pan family is doomed."

"Yue Yong is a ruthless man; do the higher-ups really support him in doing this?"

"Don't forget, he came from the Qilin Guard!"

"The Pan family has crossed the line; they can't do anything wrong. Sigh, how stupid they are!"

"Yuzhou is probably going to be in chaos again..."

They didn't dare look for too long, fearing they might get into trouble.

As a strategic-level spiritual artifact, the Zhen Shen Seal is bound to bring misfortune to any family whenever it is deployed. Many people hate it to the core, yet they are powerless to do anything about it.

After all, the creature that wields it is named Pan Chi, a well-known Emerald-tier spirit card throughout all of China.

Any spirit card below the Emerald rank is not allowed to take form under the Divine Seal of Suppression; the spiritual power used by it will be forcibly absorbed by it, which can be described as the ultimate authority and domineering power.

Yue Yong's acquisition of the Divine Seal truly aroused the apprehension of many prominent families in Fengcheng.

Chapter 103: Shadow Hero (5/102)

Are you renting long-term?

"Short-term rental, one month."

"Oh? You're here for tourism? You're quite impressive for your age."

"Hehehehe..."

Zhou Chen took the keys from the property manager and was greeted by a detached building with a modern style of decoration.

He had already arrived at Bichao Island and easily rented a house.

As a popular vacation spot for ordinary people, this place attracts a lot of tourists during the summer holidays, and short-term rentals are also common. Most of the island's residents are used to it.

The house is large, the rent is not expensive, and all the basic infrastructure is available.

Zhou Chen wandered around for a while, then summoned the Long-cresting Captains and other spirit cards, letting them explore the new environment on their own.

however.

Both the Cloud Mist Witch and the Black-feathered White Ape are lazy.

One of them transformed into a spirit cat and immediately took up a spot by the sunlit window and lay down, while the other precisely found a recliner to rock in and sat down in a relaxed posture.

"Woo~"

The white ape's expression was slightly seductive.

Zhou Chen: "...Brother Chicken! Hug me!"

"Hey!"

Upon hearing this, the long-winged captain who was pacing in the living room immediately flapped his wings and flew into his arms, while the chicken head scanned everything around with his bright eyes.

Zhou Chen felt a little comforted.

A lively spirit card is the cutest!

He put down Chicken Bro and started packing his luggage. During this time, the Cloud Mist Witch kept running over to bother him, sometimes scratching his clothes, sometimes crawling into his suitcase to suppress the clothes inside.

"You're not a real cat..."

Zhou Chen was almost speechless.

The Cloud Mist Witch's race is [Elf], a naturally born humanoid creature, belonging to the superior species of elemental beings.

"Meow~"

The Cloud Witch swung her fluffy tail, seemingly oblivious to whether she hadn't understood or simply didn't care.

Zhou Chen had no choice but to pick it up and place it on his shoulder.

Because its body is made of clouds and mist, it has virtually no weight, so there's no need to worry about getting cervical spondylosis or anything like that.

Buzz!

My phone vibrated.

Mei Xian sent a message.

She first went back to her hometown to settle her parents, so she arrived in the capital a day later than Zhou Chen. After learning that the Pan family's property had been confiscated, she immediately used her connections to verify the information.

It's true...

Mei Xian was stunned. This was the first time in her life she had heard of a prestigious family being raided.

The main reason is their collusion with Romú.

The Romu Dynasty of the Western Continent has always been at odds with the Zhuxia, because decades ago, the Romu Dynasty launched a large-scale invasion when the president of the Zhuxia Card Association was changing.

In response to this war, the Zhuxia Card Association quickly completed the ceremony for the inauguration of its new president.

Ultimately, the new president fought a battle with Emperor Romu XXXI and successfully drove the Romu people out of the Eastern Continent.

However, the cost is that many parts of Dongzhou are still affected by terrible natural disasters to this day, making it impossible for ordinary people to survive, and large areas of land have been wasted.

Mei Xian: "Are you going back to Fengcheng?"

Zhou Chen: "The apartment's already rented, why go back in just one month?"

Mei Xian: "...Okay." 』

Their conversation ended there.

After all this commotion, it's hard to say whether Mei Xian will still go to Yuzhou Academy.

There's a high probability they'll take the entrance exam for Shendu Academy, right?

While cooking, Zhou Chen read local news related to the Hungry Wolf Secret Realm and discovered that the list of martyrs provided by Jin Cheng and Hua Cheng included more than a hundred junior card masters and trainee card masters.

In contrast, Maple City only has half the population of the other two cities.

Was it concealed?

He instinctively felt that the Maple City Association had done something wrong, and when he checked the local forum, he found that many people claimed to have been saved by two mysterious card creatures.

The reason it is considered mysterious is that the two card creatures are hidden in the darkness, their bodies covered by mist, almost blending into the pitch-black Hungry Wolf Secret Realm.

"It's the two of you."

Zhou Chen looked at the bewildered Captain Changming and the Cloud Mist Witch.

Considering that the vehicle couldn't carry that many people, he sent the two to hunt monsters to relieve the siege. He only disbanded the convoy when the off-road vehicle returned to the outpost and saw a large number of rescue teams leaving.

It's good that it helped people.

The presence of Gao Liang and Shi Xiaodong made him willing to lend a helping hand to strangers whenever he could.

Seeing the praise from many people on the forum, Zhou Chen felt a little smug. "As long as you don't get involved with powerful families, the world is normal."

After lunch, with nothing else to do, he decided to run a dungeon.

"Time to go!"

"Hey!"

"Meow~"

"Waaah..."

"There's nothing we can do about it. Those monkeys are too fast to provide support, and they're too strong. Plus, there are other people watching nearby. We'll have to wait for the new dungeon to see what happens."

Zhou Chen comforted the Black-feathered White Ape, who hadn't been of any use.

Recently, he has been seeing more people in the dungeon, which has prevented him from having the White Ape join the battle.

God knows where these people come from!

The Hua family team over there.

Since Zhou Chen was absent for a day, they tried to hunt down the Eighteenth Route Monkey Commander without any outside help.
