Destiny Beast Taming

Chapter 109 Weeping Moon Goddess Ji!

Upon seeing the man who suddenly appeared in the council hall of the Town of Ghosts, the four Ghost Bearers wearing Ghost Moon badges were the first to stand up.

He bowed to the man, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a colorful outfit.

"Greetings, Lord Shunlan. You're back."

Lin Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shun Lan.

"Yan Han, you didn't even let me know you were coming back."

"You're not in Star City for nine and a half months of the year. Ever since I became the head of the Bureau of Demon Suppression, you've dumped all your work as the head of the bureau onto me."

"If you keep doing this, believe me, I'll go on strike!"

Yan Han smiled awkwardly upon hearing Lin Zhuo's words, then coughed lightly and said...

"Isn't this a case of 'the capable should do more'?"

"You've done an excellent job as a manager, and you've done an equally good job as the head of the department."

"I'm not always going out; in the past few years, I've been planning to contract new beasts."

"I searched everywhere, but I couldn't find a beast I liked."

"This time I'm back in Star City, I won't be leaving again for at least six months."

Not only the chosen ones, but also other beast tamers, after reaching a certain level of strength, will be extremely cautious in choosing their beasts.

As strength increases, so does vision, leading to an extremely meticulous approach to the selection of beasts.

Lin Zhuo fully understands this.

Lin Zhuo was the sole leader of the Zhen Gui Si (镇鬼司), responsible for resolving internal affairs within the Zhen Gui Si.

They also need to deal with the strange disturbances in Star City and the subsequent work of appeasement.

This left Lin Zhuo with almost no time to focus on training his beasts, let alone explore the secret realm.

"Yan Han, you're back just in time. You'll be in charge of this meeting."

Lu Tu, tell Yan Han about the strange disturbances that occurred in Star City last night.

Lu Tu, whose name was called by Lin Zhuo, immediately stood up.

The two-meter-tall Rutu has thick body hair, but its facial features are extremely soft.

Her round eyes have a cute charm, like an adorable little bear.

However, Rutu's personality and behavior are completely different from his appearance.

Among all the Ghost Keepers in the Hidden Moon Division of the Ghost Bureau who possess the Ghost Moon Badge, Lutu is the Ghost Keeper with the strongest internal affairs ability.

He has been helping Lin Zhuo and Yan Han manage the Town Ghost Division.

"Lord Shunlan, last night two Mythical-rank monsters suddenly caused trouble in Starlight City."

"The first to make a move was a Mythical-level Bone-type Beast, which simultaneously caused disturbances at seventeen locations in the Lower City and nine locations in the Upper City."

"Another dark-attribute weird creature had already split into nearly seven-figure spider individuals five days ago, lurking in various parts of Star City."

This dark-attribute, strange creature had previously devoured an Order Beast or a Rule-based Strange Embryo.

"It possesses a set of rules related to the night..."

Lu Tu knew that Yan Han must have known something before entering the council chamber.

However, Lu Tu still meticulously informed Yan Han about all the events related to the Zhen Gui Si in Xingmang City during the time Yan Han was away.

After Lu Tu finished speaking, Yan Han slammed his hand on the table.

"Those two mythical-level monsters from the Moon Cleansing Sect are truly audacious, daring to commit slaughter in Starlight City."

"In the first place, we insisted on signing some bullshit contract with the Diyue Sect. This contract was clearly a restriction on our New Xia Federation."

Lin Zhuo was already used to Yan Han's complaints, but Yan Han's complaints were a little too much.

Lin Zhuo said in a very serious tone.

"The Dragon Emperor Society advocates signing a contract with the Purifying Moon Sect because the sect's leader, the Weeping Moon Goddess, has reached the pinnacle of power among all nations."

"The missionary territory of the Diyue Sect is in the New Xia Federation, the Shuojin Federation, and the Shenhai Federation."

"The signing of the agreement between the New Summer Federation and the Di Yue Sect has indeed reduced the conflict between the two sides."

"It also greatly reduced the losses of our native beast tamers below the Immortal rank when they clashed with the strange forces of the Di Yue Sect."

"Neither the Shuojin Federation nor the Wuhai Federation has signed a contract with the Diyue Sect. The conflicts between these two federations and the Diyue Sect are more than five times greater than those in our Xinxia Federation."

"There's nothing wrong with the contract itself, it's just that the battlefield is in Star City, so we're a bit hesitant to act."

"If a fight breaks out in the city without regard for consequences, at least several million residents will lose their lives in this conflict."

"We, Star City, cannot unilaterally break our contract with the Moon Cleansing Sect and send forces above the Mythical Rank to suppress these two Mythical Rank monsters."

At this point, Lin Zhuo changed the subject.

"This meeting is not about how to suppress these two mythical-level anomalies."

"I, Atao, along with eight Mythical-rank monsters dispatched by the Hidden Moon Tribe and five Mythical-rank members of the Frost Ash Tribe, will keep a close eye on these two Mythical-rank monsters."

"Starting from the upper district, gradually reduce the hiding place of these two strange creatures."

"The New Summer Conference has concluded this year. Jin Cai said that the proposal put forward by the Sleeping Emperor to allow Beast Masters to join the six-person Beast Tamer team has been approved."

"Furthermore, a new round of the city-capital competition is about to begin!"

Yan Han's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this. The Sleeping Emperor had been promoting the fusion of Beast Tamers and the supernatural.

However, the strange creatures that the Qizhi Guiren had no way to control were strange creatures of the mortal beast level or higher.

Let alone bizarre beasts of the mortal beast rank or above, even if this beast master's bizarre beasts reach the second level of mortal beasts, or their quality is improved from unranked to bronze quality.

Those who possess supernatural abilities would never choose to make a contract with such an eerie entity.

It's not because the Ghost Master can't contract such a strange entity through the Moonlit Lily of the Valley, but because contracting a strange entity with an improved level and quality would consume more of the Ghost Master's soul power, reducing the number of strange entities the Ghost Master can control.

The value of a master of supernatural phenomena is measured by the number of supernatural entities controlled by Moonlit Lily of the Valley.

Even those who are cunning will instinctively choose the contractual method that is most advantageous to them.

As Lu Tu just mentioned, after the Evil Blood Cult produced a Mythical-level Mysterious Being, this Mythical-level Mysterious Being was willing to lead the Evil Blood Cult to surrender to Starlight City.

Yan Han was quite skeptical about this, but she did not object to Lin Zhuo's decision.

However, in the future cooperation process, Yan Han will definitely send people to keep a close eye on the Evil Blood Cult.

As the head of the Bureau of Suppressing Ghosts, Yan Han often deals with the supernatural.

Yan Han does not discriminate against the supernatural, but the only supernatural beings that Yan Han can trust are those controlled by the supernatural beings.

Furthermore, to control these bizarre and eccentric individuals, one must remain within the Hidden Moon Clan.

Even if those strange creatures that are not controlled by the master of the strange creatures are obedient, they are all time bombs in Yan Han's eyes.

"Now that Emperor Mian's proposal has been approved, we should proceed with it."

"The choice of which six members to form the chosen one's team is entirely up to the chosen one; it's none of our business."

"In all the academies within Starlight City, including Starlight Academy, every six-person team composed of Beastmasters should include at least one Weird individual."

"If this is to be implemented, there is no way to adopt a conciliatory approach."

"I will contact Xu Zhi, the principal of Xingmang Academy, and have him work with the Zhengui Division to push this forward."

"As for the battle for city resources, there is no need for our Zhengui Division to participate."

"It's best to leave the decision to Xu Zhi and Ming Tianxue together."

At this point, Yan Han looked at Lu Tu, Chen Yin, and the other four Ghost Bearers who possessed the Ghost Moon Badge.

"I know what you're worried about."

"The strange disturbance caused by the Di Yue Sect will indeed affect the attitude of the city's residents towards the supernatural."

"However, what's done is done, and it can't be undone."

"Once the policy of adding the strange creatures controlled by you strange creature tamers to the six-person beast tamer team is implemented."

"The fusion between the supernatural and beast tamers will definitely be promoted."

"To get beast tamers to accept the supernatural, we need to not only change their views on it, but also let them personally experience how the supernatural can help them."

"Once the Weird and the Beastmaster in the six-person team become comrades-in-arms in the secret realm, the whole society's sense of recognition of the Weird will be greatly strengthened."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yin nodded first.

Compared to human beast tamers, Chen Yin, as a demon hunter, is arguably the one who understands the supernatural the most.

Compared to beast tamers who possess a natal beast, the strange creature has both advantages and disadvantages.

The drawback is that Beastmasters cannot form contracts with new beasts like Beastmasters.

The advantage is that, under the same potential rating, the Beastmaster's Beast is stronger than the Beastmaster's natal Beast.

Furthermore, Beastmasters who have awakened their Beasts are more likely to acquire talents than ordinary Beastmasters who have awakened their Innate Beasts.

In fact, some monsters also have the opportunity to gain control over the rules by devouring rule-based monster embryos and order-based monsters.

However, a beast tamer's natal beast cannot.

Moreover, the growth rate of a strange beast is faster than that of a beast tamer's natal beast. A strange beast can join a six-person team of a beast tamer, even if that strange beast is not the strongest when it joins.

However, as this Beastmaster explores and trains in the secret realm, he can use the monsters he kills as bait to enhance the strength of his Beastmaster.

Before long, he will become one of the top-ranked members of a six-person team.

Of the four individuals present, only Chen Yin and Lu Tu have participated in the discussion after bowing to Yan Han.

One of the women, dressed in plain clothes and with a very delicate appearance, first fiddled with the emerald green crescent moon badge she wore on her chest, and then spoke.

"Lord Shunlan, Lord Weire, although this incident has affected the eerie image that all of us who are obsessed with the supernatural have been working hard to maintain."

"But one of these two mythical-level beast masters possesses a beast with the power of rules."

"Killing her will yield a Rule-based Strange Embryo. I'd like to know how you two decide who owns this Rule-based Strange Embryo?"

At this point, the eerie figure dressed in plain clothes paused for a moment before continuing.

"I forgot to report that my Moonlit Lily of the Valley recently successfully lit up its sixteenth Moonlit Flower."

"I would like to request the right to use this strange, rule-breaking embryo from the two gentlemen."

The words of the woman in plain clothes caused a slight change in the expressions of Chen Yin, Lu Tu, and another male ghost hunter dressed in gold.

Rutu spoke first.

"He Shiyi, there are a total of twelve Ghost Bearers in our Starry City who possess the Ghost Moon Badge. If the other eight hadn't happened to be in seclusion, this meeting wouldn't have been attended by only the four of us."

"Didn't you consider other people's opinions when you directly applied for this rule-breaking fetus?"

"I suggest that all those who want this Rule-based Strange Embryo should use our contribution points to auction it off."

"The highest bidder wins; that's fair!"

Not only He Shiyi, but also the other Ghost Masters present who possessed the Ghost Moon Badge also had their eyes on the Rule Ghost Embryo formed after Qin Ruyue's Ghost Beast died.

There is a high probability that a compatible supernatural being will gain control over the power of the rules.

But such regular and strange fetuses are extremely rare!

Each of these rule-based demonic embryos is essentially a relic left behind by a Chosen Order Beast after its death.

Even Chen Yin wanted to obtain this strange fetus of rules, but she didn't plan to bring it up until she had killed the strange creature that controlled the power of rules.

Unexpectedly, He Shiyi proposed at this meeting that she wanted to monopolize the rule-based strange fetus that she had not yet obtained.

Upon hearing this, He Shiyi's face showed displeasure.

"Among all the Ghost Hunters in our Star City, I was the youngest to obtain the Ghost Moon Badge."

"Moreover, I have also activated my sixteenth Moon Eye, which is enough to rank me in the top eight among all the Devious Ones in Star City."

"Among the demon hunters present, Chen Yin has one more moon-shaped eye lit up than me, Jin Qingchen and I have the same number of moon-shaped eyes lit up, and Lu Tu, you have one less moon-shaped eye lit up than me."

"But you are all more senior than me, and you have been the Masters of Deception for longer."

"The contribution points of the 'Master of Ghosts' are obtained according to the contributions made to the ghosts they control."

"I definitely have fewer Contribution Points as a Devious Manipulator than other Devious Manipulators who have the Devious Moon Badge."

"It would be unfair to auction off based on the contribution points within the group of 'Deceptives'."

"What's wrong with giving those with talent priority access to the best resources?"

Lin Zhuo and Yan Han exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

He Shiyi is forty-three years old this year, and is indeed the youngest Ghost Hunter in Star City to obtain the Ghost Moon Badge.

And less than four years after becoming a demon wielder, he made the Moon-Eyed Lily of the Valley bloom with new Moon-Eyed flowers.

However, once He Shiyi became a cunning person, she began to fight for everything.

After acquiring the Moon Emblem, he did not get along well with other Moon Bearers who also possessed the Moon Emblem.

This isn't the first time He Shiyi has actively sought out resources.

However, this can only be attributed to He Shiyi's personality.

From the perspective of the duties of a con artist, He Shiyi did a very good job.

Like other Ghost Bearers who possess the Ghost Moon Badge, they have made significant contributions to Star City.

Now He Shiyi proposes to allocate this rule-devouring fetus according to its level of talent.

Rutu suggested using the deceitful person's contribution points for bidding.

Neither of these two allocation rules is actually problematic.

The Chosen Ones are those who have awakened the Order Beast and gained control over the rules, which is why a powerful city would allocate a large amount of resources to them.

Regardless of whose distribution view Lin Zhuo and Yan Han agree with now, it will make the other Ghostly Heart, who possesses the Ghostly Moon Badge, dissatisfied.
