Celestial Beast Taming

Thinking about the Secret Realm Points he had just seen for Zhong Yi, Shen Xuan, and Zhong Ling, Yan Han couldn’t help but comment.

"I was a little worried about Shen Xuan’s potential rating. I thought that with a Healing-type Celestial Destiny Seeker on the scene, you and Xiaozhuo might have relaxed your standards."

"Looks like I was overthinking things!"

Hearing Yan Han, Wen Tao knew he was giving Shen Xuan credit for the trio’s ability to fully explore the First Level Ice Cave Secret Realm.

Wen Tao didn’t agree, but he chose not to elaborate.

After all, Zhong Yi had managed to earn Divine Origin Value while teamed up with Zhong Ling, who wasn’t even a Celestial Destiny Seeker.

The one who had truly carried the team in the Ice Cave Secret Realm was likely Zhong Yi’s Human-shaped Guardian Beast, which was more Bizarre than the Bizarre creatures they fought.

Wen Tao and Lin Zhuo had been the ones to assess Shen Xuan’s potential rating.

Wen Tao was perfectly clear on Shen Xuan’s strength and his effectiveness in combat.

If Zhong Yi’s Human-shaped Guardian Beast hadn’t created such favorable conditions for Shen Xuan to deal damage, Shen Xuan probably couldn’t have escaped a head-on encounter with a Snowstorm Ape Tribe unscathed.

Suddenly, Wen Tao felt a stir from the Biluo Spring Dragon within his Soul Base, and his expression immediately turned grave.

"Brother Han, have the Ghost Suppression Bureau’s Hidden Moon Division dispatch a few more Mythical Tier Deceit Beast Masters to join the battle."

"Before tomorrow morning, the Yellow Springs Source Water will gush from the body of that Spider-shaped Deceit Beast."

"That Spider-shaped Deceit Beast won’t be able to hide in Starlight City any longer!"

Wen Tao had originally chosen to have his Order Beast, the Biluo Spring Dragon, endure a full-powered strike from the Night-Cutting Spider’s Rule Authority not only because he was aware of Zhong Yi’s Healing Ability, but also because he didn’t want this spider-shaped Deceit Beast, which had grasped Rule Authority, to continue wreaking havoc in Starlight City.

According to the treaty signed between the Xin Xia Federation and the Purifying Moon Sect, powers above the Mythical Tier are forbidden from intervening in Mythical Tier conflicts.

If these two Mythical Tier Deceit Beasts were determined to hide, it would be difficult to find them even if Starlight City deployed more than ten Mythical Tier combatants.

After all, Starlight City was simply too large!

Wen Tao had already requested Elder Cui to activate the first barrier of the Blood Bone Great Wall.

Activating the first barrier of the Blood Bone Great Wall wouldn’t manifest its true form.

But if those two Mythical Tier Deceit Beasts tried to flee the city, they would sense the Great Wall’s presence once they reached a thousand kilometers north of Fallen Star Mountain.

Wen Tao needed to prevent these two Mythical Tier Deceit Beasts from taking desperate measures.

This spider-shaped Deceit Beast that controlled the Power of Rules had initiated chaos in Starlight City, but in doing so, it had also brought the city an opportunity.

A Rule Deceit Embryo offered the chance for a creature to master the Power of Rules.

It was essentially like adding half a Celestial Destiny Seeker to Starlight City’s forces.

If a creature that controlled the Power of Rules could join a six-person team of Celestial Destiny Seekers, it could significantly raise the squad’s upper power limit.

Yan Han’s expression was extremely serious as he said,

"Ah Tao, don’t you worry. The Ghost Suppression Bureau will absolutely not let your sacrifice be in vain."

"Right now, the Hidden Moon Division is desperate to salvage the public image of Bizarre creatures among the residents of Starlight City."

"They are more than willing to dispatch additional Mythical Tier Deceit Beasts to participate in this encirclement."

"I’ll handle the arrangements. You stay here in the Star Frost Tower with Juanjuan and Xiaochen."

"Your Order Beast’s Origin has been damaged, so it’s not wise for you to join the fight."

"The Star Emperor personally planted the Star-Picking Soaring in this tower. With it growing alongside the tower, it’s absolutely safe inside."

With that, Yan Han gave a light tap of his left foot. A green light flared from the top of his foot, bright enough to shine through his boot.

Then, like a gust of wind, Yan Han vanished from the Star Frost Tower.

For the past few days, Starlight City had been under lockdown, with the Ghost Suppression Bureau patrolling all three major districts.

It was the first time in nearly a decade that the Ghost Suppression Bureau had dispatched so many people to conduct large-scale patrols in the Lower City District.

If he hadn’t received official recognition from Starlight City, been given the brocade uniform bearing the Ghost Suppression Bureau’s insignia, and become a quasi-official figure, Liao Zhou would be extremely anxious right now. He most likely would have already fled Starlight City with Liao Min, Liao Peng, and all the assets the Evil Blood Sect had accumulated over the years.

Besides the Evil Blood Sect, the Lower City District was home to many other factions of various sizes, all composed of Bizarre creatures.

Even the factions that had once been bold and rampant had now all fallen silent.

Many of the solitary Bizarre creatures had even taken the initiative to flee Starlight City, hiding out in the marketplaces of the various Secret Realms outside the city, terrified of getting caught in the crossfire.

Liao Zhou seized this opportunity. He had Liao Peng use an iron fist to screen and deal with the remaining members of the Evil Blood Sect—the old subordinates of Wu Kecun and Yang Rupei.

Liao Zhou decided to eliminate anyone who was still unwilling to submit.

While making this decision, Liao Zhou also had Liao Min absorb as many of Starlight City’s Bizarre creatures as possible, using the situation to expand the Evil Blood Sect’s influence.

Of course, Liao Zhou intended to strictly manage these newly recruited Bizarre creatures.

Previously, in order to bolster the strength of Liao Min and Liao Peng and to expand his own power right under the noses of Wu Kecun and Yang Rupei, Liao Zhou had broken the rules many times!

But now, with no internal competition, Liao Zhou had ironically become even more of a stickler for the rules than Wu Kecun and Yang Rupei had ever been.

He managed all his subordinates with a firm hand, and if anyone broke the rules, Liao Zhou wouldn’t hesitate to eliminate them and deliver the body to the Ghost Suppression Bureau.

Liao Zhou warned Liao Min and Liao Peng repeatedly, as he knew their personalities all too well.
