I let you tame beasts, and you've already formed a contract with your stunningly beautiful mast

Until all the pink petals scattered in the sky.

Cao Kun's gaze lingered in the direction where Meng Yudie had disappeared, and he didn't look away for a long time.

He was making plans in his mind.

The Novice Beastmaster needs 51 more experience points to unlock the next Jade Beast slot.

This Dream Rain Butterfly is extremely skilled; it would be a real shame not to catch her.

Yu Linglong, who was standing beside him, saw that Cao Kun had been staring in that direction for a full seven or eight breaths, and her face immediately darkened.

Yu Linglong reached out and pinched Cao Kun's soft flesh on his waist hard.

"The person is gone, but their soul hasn't returned yet?"

Suddenly, a coquettish voice rang in my ears, carrying a strong scent of aged vinegar.

Before Cao Kun could react, the soft flesh around his waist suffered a blow.

Yu Linglong precisely pinched that small piece of meat with her two slender fingertips and twisted it clockwise half a turn.

"That old vixen, she's old enough to be your great-grandmother, and her figure is just so-so. Am I not as good-looking as her?"

On the other side, Leng Qingyue's gaze darted back and forth between her master and Cao Kun.

Then, she silently pressed herself even closer to Cao Kun's right arm.

Cao Kun looked away.

Seeing Yu Linglong's puffed-up face, he deliberately teased her, "What are you looking at? I was thinking about that tea earlier."

Yu Linglong was stunned for a moment.

He was clearly reminded of Meng Yudie's provocative words before she left.

Jealousy surged to his head instantly, and then he heard Cao Kun chuckle mischievously.

"I was thinking that the tea brewed with that pot of bathwater that Master used back then was truly an exquisite delicacy."

"That flavor is unique, much more spiritual than any Baihua Peak tea."

Upon hearing this, Yu Linglong immediately spat in embarrassment and anger.

But her body went limp against her will.

"Shut up! Don't mention that!"

Leng Qingyue, who was standing next to her, quickly pricked up her ears to listen, afraid that she would fall behind in her studies.

"What bathwater? Master, what secret are you talking about?"

Yu Linglong didn't dare to reply and was just about to find an excuse to brush it off.

Cao Kun suddenly leaned close to her glistening earlobe and lowered his voice:

"Master, rest assured, this is a secret known only to us, and I will not tell anyone."

[Ding! Yu Linglong's possessiveness has intensified due to overt displays of it and increased intimacy with her private interactions.]

Taming value +2.

Current taming rating: 72/100.

[Reward: 200 mission points.]

Cao Kun was secretly pleased.

We're one step closer to the grand prize of 80 points.

He patted Yu Linglong's plump buttocks.

Then he turned to look at the two stray dogs huddled in the corner of the ruins.

When Ye Ting saw Cao Kun looking at him, he trembled with fear. Ignoring his broken sternum, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Young Master Cao! I was blind back then, I didn't recognize your greatness..."

Cao Kun raised his hand, interrupting him.

I'll give you two choices.

"Hand over all resources and all authority of the Pill Pavilion. Or die."

However, Ye Mei, who was standing nearby, hadn't grasped the situation yet and still screamed sharply:

"Although Changhe is dead, the sect still has its rules! Daring to publicly murder a Dan Pavilion elder, the sect leader will absolutely not let you off!"

Cao Kun didn't even glance at Ye Mei, staring at Ye Ting as he continued:

"A prodigy with unparalleled potential, and two old geezers who are already useless."

"You know better than I how the sect will choose."

Ye Ting was clearly much smarter than his sister.

In the face of absolute prodigy, a dead Nascent Soul cultivator and a crippled elder are utterly worthless.

"I'll pay! I'll pay it all!"

Ye Ting trembled as he took out a token and a storage ring from his pocket.

He raised his hands high above his head and pleaded tearfully.

"Nephew Cao... no, Elder Cao! This is all the authorization tokens for the Pill Pavilion, and my life savings!"

"Please, for the sake of our shared sect, spare my life! The Pill Pavilion will be yours from now on! I'll serve you like a slave, and I'll never dare to do it again..."

Cao Kun reached out and grabbed the item, then casually tossed it into his system space.

When Ye Ting saw Cao Kun pack up his things, his previously tense body visibly relaxed.

He thought he had saved his life.

However, the next moment, Cao Kun looked down at him and revealed a bright smile.

"Elder Ye, you seem to have misunderstood."

"I only told you to choose between these two paths, but I didn't say you wouldn't kill anyone if you accepted the gifts. After all... the dead are the most obedient."

"You—! You shameless scoundrel!"

Ye Ting's eyes widened, just as he was about to self-destruct his remaining golden core.

Cao Kun had already raised his right fist.

Chaotic energy coiled around his knuckles.

Heavenly Rank Martial Skill, Level 10 Collapse.

Cao Kun threw a punch, the force of which tore through the air.

Bang!

A muffled thud.

Ye Ting didn't have time to let out any screams.

It shattered on the spot into a cloud of dark red blood mist.

The chaotic energy swept in.

It shredded him along with the fragments of his soul.

They've saved themselves the chance to be reincarnated.

"ah!!!"

Ye Mei watched helplessly as her younger brother turned into a bloody mist before her eyes. Her mind went blank, and only one thought remained.

Run!

She channeled all the remaining spiritual power within her body, sprang up on one leg, and flew frantically toward the outer edge of the plaza.

But he had only rushed three zhang away.

A purple afterimage of spiritual energy suddenly swept past his side.

Yu Linglong appeared beside Ye Mei, raised her right hand, and slapped Ye Mei hard across the face.

Snapped!

The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the night sky.

Ye Mei was sent flying backward by the tremendous force, crashing heavily at Cao Kun's feet.

"Why are you running away?" Yu Linglong looked down at her, her tone icy. "I haven't given you permission to leave yet."

Knowing that there was no hope of escape, Ye Mei disregarded the excruciating pain of her broken leg and immediately changed her demeanor.

She tore open the collar of her outer robe, revealing a large expanse of skin.

Tears streaming down his face, he crawled toward Cao Kun's feet.

"Young Master Cao...you see, Ye Mei is still quite well-maintained. Why don't you keep me...to serve you...?"

Cao Kun frowned in disgust and took a big step back:

"Looking at someone with that kind of beauty will shorten your lifespan."

"Master, I'm leaving it to you."

"Yes, ma'am."

Yu Linglong chuckled, then her gaze toward Ye Mei turned cruel.

"You slut, with your used and defiled body, you dare to seduce your master?"

quickly,

Then Ye Mei's desperate pleas for mercy echoed across the square.

Then came a chilling sound of bones cracking.

Ye Mei's screams echoed across Baiyu Square for a full quarter of an hour.

Only then did things finally return to complete peace.

Cao Kun walked to a well-preserved stone platform and took out three storage rings from his storage space.

Ye Ting's, Ye Mei's, and the one just found in the ashes of Su Changhe's body.

He first erased the divine sense imprints on the storage rings of the Ye siblings, then quickly scanned them.

There are quite a few spirit stones, pills, and medicinal herbs inside.

Adding to the batch that Yu Linglong had previously plundered, the total amount is quite considerable.

However, the real highlight is Su Changhe's.

The entire fortune of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

Cao Kun probed Su Changhe's storage ring with his divine sense.

The interior space is extremely large.

There are over 30,000 top-grade spirit stones alone.

The mid-grade spirit stones were piled up into a small mountain, roughly estimated to be no less than 500,000.

Various high-grade elixirs and thousand-year-old spiritual herbs were neatly arranged on the jade shelves.

"A powerful Nascent Soul cultivator, a respected elder of the Joyful Union Sect's inner sect. And this is all the wealth he's accumulated?"

Even so, this windfall is enough to drive all the rogue cultivators in the entire Qingzhou cultivation world mad.

Cao Kun was not stingy.

He divided the cultivation resources inside into two parts.

They were given to Yu Linglong and Leng Qingyue respectively.

"Take it and use it as you like," Cao Kun said casually. "If you need more, just ask me."

Leng Qingyue caught the bag, her eyes sparkling with delight. The feeling of being pampered and spoiled almost melted her heart.

Yu Linglong happily put away her storage bag and leaned over to kiss Cao Kun on the cheek.

"Thank you for the gift, Master."

"Linglong will definitely repay you properly tonight."

After dividing the spoils, Cao Kun continued to explore the depths of Su Changhe's storage ring with his divine sense.

Soon it was in a corner at the deepest part of the storage ring.

An ancient jade box was discovered.

With a thought, Cao Kun took out the jade box and held it in his palm.

The jade box is dark blue-green all over, and its material is unknown.

The surface was engraved with complex array patterns that Cao Kun had never seen before.

Each of the four corners of the jade box is inlaid with a dull spirit stone, which serves as a lock for the seal.

Cao Kun examined the item.

The moment my fingertips touched the pattern on the box surface.

The Chaos Sword Embryo, a celestial artifact nurtured within his body, seemed to sense some kind of summons and suddenly trembled violently.

The vast, chaotic energy surged uncontrollably.

It flowed along the meridians to Cao Kun's right palm.

It was poured into the spirit stones at the four corners of the jade box.

Click!

The jade box lid popped open automatically.

A small, palm-sized, jet-black sword slowly rose to the surface.

Although it was incomplete, the patterns on it were exactly the same as the Chaos Sword Embryo inside Cao Kun's body.

With a sword cry.

The small, jet-black sword swelled in the wind.

In the blink of an eye, it swelled to more than three feet in size.

The killing aura emanating from its sword caused visible ripples in the surrounding air.

Followed by.

The jet-black longsword transformed into a streak of black light, piercing straight into Cao Kun's chest.

Merge with the Chaos Sword Embryo!

That moment.

Cao Kun's consciousness was pulled into an endless void.

He saw a majestic figure draped in a gray robe, standing atop countless worlds.

With a casual swing of his sword, he cleaved through the primordial chaos and severed the river of time.

In the darkness, an ancient and majestic voice resounded within Cao Kun's sea of ​​consciousness:

"Since you can fuse with my broken blade, you are truly destined!"

"My name is... Chaos God Emperor."
