Destiny Beast Taming

Chapter 170 The Conflict with the Peak of the Five Fingers!

The news that Tao En had moved into the Destiny Society had already reached Cao Xing'an's ears.

However, the guard who had been sent out had not returned for a long time, which made Cao Xing'an furious.

Even Wang Bo, who was always relied upon, was severely reprimanded by Cao Xing'an.

"The secret guards that Master sent out have indeed not returned. Cao Shisan is always reliable in his work, and if he hasn't come back yet, he's probably dead."

"It must be from Star City; they're deliberately protecting Tao En."

"Tao En was able to move into the Destiny Society because of his connection with those two Destiny members in Star City."

Wang Bo really didn't expect that an unexpected incident would occur when arranging this mission.

Wang Bo said that Cao Shisan was steady in his work, but in reality, no one was more steady than Wang Bo.

Otherwise, Wang Bo wouldn't have stayed by Cao Xing'an's side for decades and still been so highly valued by Cao Xing'an.

If Wang Bo hadn't handled things properly, he probably would have been replaced by Cao Xing'an long ago!

Wang Bo only sent Cao Shisan on this mission, so he didn't know what had happened.

Because they were very clear about Tao En's situation, they knew that Tao En had no chance of fighting back against Cao Shisan.

Therefore, Wang Bo subconsciously assumed that it was people from Star City who were protecting Tao En.

Seeing that Cao Xing'an had not spoken, Uncle Wang cautiously continued.

"Master Tao En has been protected by the Chosen Ones of Starlight City and has taken up residence in the Chosen Ones Society. What do you think we should do?"

"If we ask the Destiny Society for them, they probably won't hand them over."

Upon hearing this, Cao Xing'an let out a cold snort with an unpleasant expression.

"The Destiny Society only serves those destined for destiny. If we go to the Destiny Society to ask for people, we might not be able to get them. If other chosen ones ask for people, they might not be able to get them at all."

"Uncle Wang, since the Chosen One from Starlight City was involved in this operation, it's understandable that you didn't handle things well."

"You can go now. Next time I ask you to do something, you should try to be more careful."

After saying this, Cao Xing'an stood up and left his residence late at night, heading to another residence that spanned almost half of the central city.

Before leaving his residence, Cao Xing'an took out twenty bottles of ochre-colored potions from his cultivation room.

The news of Tao En's death this morning did not spread throughout the upper class of Longya City.

On the contrary, the news that Tao En had moved into the Destiny Society spread throughout high society.

The feud between Cao Xing'an and Tao En has been the biggest topic in Longya City for nearly thirty years, since the Dragon Emperor left Longya City.

For more than a decade, Tao En was traumatized and kept to himself in his small shop located at the intersection of the upper and lower city districts.

Tao En's sudden move has given many leaders of local forces in Longya City a sense that a storm is brewing.

As soon as Zhong Yi got up early in the morning, Wen Tao handed her the Panlong Jade Willow, the Dragon Blood Rose, and a fire-attribute and an electric-attribute Dragon Crystal.

"These are prizes from the Leap Dragon Society. It was just dawn when Steward He helped to fetch them."

"I've already paid all the federal dollars I owed!"

"Dragon Cliff City is alright; the quality of these two main dragon crystals is quite good."

"This fire-attribute dragon crystal comes from the Flame Curtain Crystal Dragon, which is a very unique type of dragon among all defensive dragon-type beast taming beasts."

"Among the main dragon crystals of the same attribute, the price is relatively high."

"This dragon crystal from the purple lightning long-necked dragon, although it belongs to a relatively weak dragon species, has a relatively rare electric attribute."

"The selling price is higher than that of common dragon crystals."

At this point, Wen Tao began rummaging through his storage bag.

He then handed the six dragon crystals of the Fairy Flashing Flood Dragon to Zhong Yi.

"Xiao Yi, you asked me to help you find the dragon crystals of the Fairy Scaled Dragon. I managed to trade six for you in Dragon Cliff City."

"I asked Steward He to help you look for them too. Steward He asked her friend in Longya City, and she can help you trade two more tonight."

Guo Xing said that Jiao Donghai, a fellow student in the same year, had previously raised a fairy-like, shimmering dragon.

"Later, the Fairy Scaled Dragon died, and the Dragon Crystal should still be in his possession."

"Guo Xing said he'd try to find out, and if they can get it in a deal, he'll send it over before tonight."

Zhong Yi accepted the rewards from the Leap Dragon Gathering, as well as the six dragon crystals of the Fairy Flashing Scale Dragon, from Wen Tao's hands.

Zhong Yi knew that Wen Tao had gone to great lengths because he needed the dragon crystal of the Fairy Scaled Flood Dragon.

They basically used up all their connections in Longya City, even going so far as to exploit the relationship between He Meisi and Guo Xing!

These six Fairy Flashing Scale Dragon Crystals alone are enough for Zhong Yi to possess ten Dragon Brew Fairy Sables.

For Zhong Yi at present, ten Dragon Brew Immortal Sables are enough to produce Drunken Dragon Jade.

Zhong Yi was instructed to display the Drunken Dragon Jade in the Heavenly Destiny Society's treasury for sale.

If he could obtain three more Fairy Scale Flood Dragon Crystals, Zhongyi's daily output of Drunken Dragon Jade would exceed fifty pieces per day.

All that is needed is the Soul-Flowing Soil that initially induced the Dragon Language Sable to transform into the Dragon Brew Immortal Sable, and the Dragon Root Fruit that is provided to the Dragon Brew Immortal Sable as food every day.

"Brother Tao, you've gone to a lot of trouble."

Wen Tao smiled and shook his head upon hearing this.

"What's the trouble?"

"Xiao Yi, ever since I met you, you have no idea how much I've benefited from your kindness."

"Cao Xing'an will definitely make a move today. Master Tao En is about to truly experience the coldness and warmth of human relationships in Longya City."

Zhong Yi glanced in the direction of Tao En's suite.

During the time Zhongyi spent with Tao En, she could tell that Tao En was a person who valued relationships.

Zhong Yi learned from Guo Xing about Tao En's previous contributions to the Chosen Ones of Longya City.

Tao En's dedication to the Chosen Ones of Dragon Cliff City is very similar to Zhong Yi's free treatment of the Chosen Ones of Starlight City.

He only liked to heal the chosen ones of Star City, and the only energy consumed was the energy of the Lord of Resurrection.

Moreover, ever since the quality of the Resurrected Celestial has improved, it has been able to heal the injuries of other Chosen Ones' Order Beasts or Tamed Beasts.

Zhongyi can gain tangible benefits from the withering oasis.

However, it is time-consuming and laborious for Tao En to prepare level 5 potions, and it also requires a lot of materials.

Having gone through so much, Tao En has probably come to terms with it all.

Even if you can let go of the past, it's hard not to take it to heart if an old friend betrays you.

Just as the group finished lunch, He Meisi walked in with two Chosen Ones.

One of the chosen ones wore a dark green robe, with medium-length black hair draped over his shoulders, and a thumb-sized scar on his cheek.

It's unclear whether this chosen one thought the scar was cool, or for some other reason, failed to properly heal the injury.

Let alone the chosen ones, even ordinary beast tamers would not choose to leave scars on their faces.

The other chosen one had a very short buzz cut and wore heavy dark blue armor.

The two chosen ones had different expressions when they saw the grandfather and grandson, Tao En.

They came to us on their own initiative, yet neither of them spoke first.

It was Tao En who broke the deadlock.

"Lord Yinmo, it's been a long time since we've seen Lord Fumo."

"You two still look as radiant as ever, while I, though still young, already appear old and decaying."

Tao En spoke very enthusiastically, but his tone was somewhat cold.

Tao En and Yin Mo had a so-so relationship when Tao En was still a peak Five-Finger Creator.

Yinmo sided with Cao Xing'an and frequently intervened to mediate.

Tao En was not surprised that Yin Mo would be here.

Why would the Demon Subduer appear here?

If he couldn't recover on his own, Tao En probably wouldn't dwell on this matter.

But now Tauen is certain that he can recover.

Tao En was unwilling to believe that his old friend, for whom he had done so much, had come all this way for Cao Xing'an.

"Lord Fumo, you've come here because you heard that I was attacked by a strange creature last night. You've come to the Destiny Academy to seek protection for your granddaughter through the connections of these two Destiny Masters in Star City."

"Is that why you're deliberately showing concern for me?"

Upon hearing this, the chosen one, known as Yinmo, did not show much change in expression.

But Fumo looked extremely surprised.

"What? Master Tow, you were attacked by a strange entity last night?"

"How come I haven't heard about this?"

Tao En smiled faintly.

"Since I never do anything, my affairs are naturally unlikely to reach your ears, Lord Fumo."

"Since the Demon Slayer didn't hear about my attack last night, and isn't here to inquire about me, what urgent matter brings you here?"

"If they are not here to see me, but to see these two chosen ones from Star City, I can take my granddaughter and go away."

Yinmo remained silent, but Fumo gave an awkward laugh.

"Master Tao En, I have indeed not heard of your attack."

"We didn't come here to see you, but rather to discuss something with some friends in Starlight City."

"If you can avoid it, Master Tao, that would be best. I'll visit your shop again when I have the chance."

Tao En chuckled upon hearing this and waved his hand at Tao Niannian.

"Niannian, go back to your room with Grandpa."

"Later, Grandpa will take you to play with Brother Zhongyi."

Fu Mo watched awkwardly as Tao En led Tao Niannian away.

After Tao En led Tao Niannian away, the Chosen One dressed in a dark green robe, who had been silent until now, spoke first.

"This is the first time we've met since you two arrived in Longya City. It's a pleasure to meet you both."

"Tonight, Master Cao Xing'an is hosting a banquet especially for the two of you. We hope you will do us the honor of attending."

"Many chosen ones and leaders of various forces in Dragon Cliff City are eager to befriend these two, including Master Cao."

"Tao En has an awkward personality and is currently only at the level of a three-finger creator."

"Hehe, even if either of you has a past relationship with Tao En, don't abandon the other friends in Longya City who are willing to befriend you because of Tao En."

Wen Tao said with a hint of amusement upon hearing this.

"Master Tao En was once a top-tier creator among the Five Fingers in Dragon Cliff City. I've heard that Master Tao En contributed a great deal to the growth of the chosen ones in Dragon Cliff City."

"How did you manage to get Master Tao to stand against all the groups in Longya City with just a few words?"

"It's Cao Xing'an who doesn't want us to have contact with Master Tao En."

"Even the chosen ones and various forces of Dragon Cliff City do not want us to have contact with Master Tao En."

Yinmo's words implied that he was trying to bring up more people and forces to suppress the thoughts of the two Star City Chosen Ones.

There was also the idea of ​​making the interests clear, so that Zhong Yi and Wen Tao would no longer be involved in the feud between Tao En and Cao Xing'an, and to provide protection for Tao En.

However, Wen Tao did not continue Yin Mo's words, but instead directly asked Yin Mo a question in return.

Wen Tao's words made Yin Mo's already unsmiling expression turn somewhat ugly, and also made Fu Mo's expression even more awkward.

Tao En's contributions to the Chosen Ones of Dragon Cliff City are indelible.

The man standing to the side, clad in dark blue armor, was the biggest beneficiary among them.

Fu Mo could only laugh awkwardly, unable to refute.

Tao En, who was involved in the incident, brought it up just now, and now Wen Tao is bringing it up again.

This made Fu Mo feel that Wen Tao was deliberately targeting him!

Fu Mo said in an extremely displeased tone.

"Those who understand the times are wise; people strive for higher positions, just as water flows downhill."

"I refuse to believe that you wouldn't know how to choose what's profitable."

"I heard that your Starry City has produced a healing-type chosen one with an SSS-level potential rating. Wouldn't anyone try to curry favor with him?"

As he said these words, Fu Mofu looked at Wen Tao and Zhong Yi with a scrutinizing attitude.

When Wen Tao heard Fu Mo suddenly mention Zhong Yi's other identity, his expression changed slightly.

Ling Fumo felt that he had been right about the slight change in Wen Tao's expression, and that he had hit the nail on the head regarding Wen Tao's true thoughts.

Wen Tao gently stroked the tabletop with his fingers, offering no further explanation.

Indeed, given Zhong Yi's exceptional talent and abilities, no one would hesitate to befriend her upon first meeting her.

However, being on good terms with others is not always driven by self-interest.

If Wen Tao and Zhong Yi don't get along, Wen Tao will treat Zhong Yi the same way he treats Bai Xuan and Yu Juanjuan.

If Zhongyi were to encounter some misfortune now, siding with Zhongyi would conflict with my future interests.

Wen Tao and his ilk asked themselves, and they knew they would definitely choose to stand on Zhongyi's side.

"There's nothing wrong with doing what's profitable."

"But when interests and gratitude conflicted, you chose interests and ignored those who had helped you immensely in the past."

"You might gain some benefits by doing this, but do you think Cao Xing'an will truly consider you one of his own?"

"If I'm not mistaken, you've come here because you want us to stop protecting Teacher Tao."

"To make it impossible for Master Towon to remain in the Destiny Society."

"If that's your intention, I advise you to give up on that idea. We will not abandon Master Tao's protection."

Wen Tao's words struck a nerve with Fu Mo.

A chosen one who has stepped into immortality cannot do so without the support of high-end creator resources.

Not only is it difficult for contracted beast bloodlines to undergo transformation, but even the quality of order beasts is difficult to improve.

Although the Chosen Ones hold extremely high status, powerful Chosen Ones cannot leave the clutches of high-level Creators.
