Chapter 1737

How could a God-Rank Beast Tamer be short on money?

The spoils from every major battle are enough to sustain a small clan for a hundred years.

If truly short on funds, just ask—countless factions will scramble to hand over money.

But Su Yang was somewhat worried, since Xia Na and Yun Shuying were so close.

As if sensing Su Yang's concern, Xia Na whispered, "Master, rest assured—I'm close to Yun Shuying, but I won't let it interfere with matters."

"Mm!"

Su Yang pursed his lips; he wasn't actually worried Xia Na would mess things up.

Liu Mengyun, Sovereign Jiazi, and Xia Na were all highly rational, exceptionally capable women.

If they were mindless fools, Su Yang would never have bothered training them.

He might as well just train a few battle-hardened trusted officers in the Lianbang Army!

His concern was over something else…

"Good, you understand!"

Two days later, Yun Shuying's emissaries arrived in Babao City and reported the outcome of the Purple Yuncheng battle.

When Elder Jian and Elder Long learned Su Yang had killed the Black Wing Elder of the Shenlongshang Alliance, both were overjoyed!

There was no help for it—since tensions with the Shenlongshang Alliance escalated, Babaozhai had lost several God-Rank Beast Tamers.

After all, against the Shenlongshang Alliance, Babaozhai was at a disadvantage!

It wasn't that Babaozhai members were in panic.

Babaozhai had a long, storied history; many members served generation after generation with extremely high loyalty.

Still, when morale wavered, it was unavoidable.

Many Babaozhai members remained deeply concerned.

Last time, Elder Long personally led a strike that destroyed a key Shenlongshang Alliance outpost and killed one God-Rank Low-Grade Beast Tamer, somewhat restoring Babaozhai's honor.

Elder Long's modest achievements paled beside Su Yang's!

Su Yang personally led the assault that slew a powerful God-Rank Mid-Grade strength of the Shenlongshang Alliance, plus two God-Rank Beast Tamers!

The Black Wing Elder's status within the Shenlongshang Alliance was roughly equal to Elder Jian's!

Within the Shenlongshang Alliance, the Black Wing Elder was among the top combatants among God-Rank Mid-Grade Beast Tamers!

Elder Jian and Elder Long simply couldn't fathom how the Black Wing Elder—possessing several powerful God-Rank Mid-Grade pet beasts and even one God-Rank Low-Grade Space-type Divine Beast—could have suddenly been defeated.

This made no sense.

Logically, a battle-hardened veteran God-Rank Mid-Grade expert should never make such a basic mistake.

Elder Jian hesitated: "Is this true?"

"Every word I speak is true, not a single falsehood—I witnessed it all myself!" exclaimed the Sovereign-Rank Top-Grade Beast Tamer delivering the news. "I was in Purple Yuncheng—I saw Chen Zhanglao leave with the Black Wing Elder, then return with the Black Wing Elder's head, and slay the other two Shenlongshang Alliance elites…"

The messenger swallowed hard: "Chen Zhanglao was too strong—he ended the battle in just over ten minutes; no one else could even intervene!"

The Sovereign-Rank Top-Grade Beast Tamer delivering the news was an official of the Baozhaifen Alliance in Purple Yuncheng, and a trusted man of Yun Tianyin!

Yun Tianyin had been defeated by the Black Wing Elder—he knew the Black Wing Elder's strength better than anyone.

Elder Long said seriously: "This matter is no trivial thing. May I examine your memories? Only those from two days ago."

"Of course."

"Good!"

Two minutes later, Elder Jian, struggling to contain his excitement, asked Elder Long: "Well, Old Long?"

"It's real—no deception."

"Wonderful! Chen Zhanglao has brought great honor to Babaozhai! I'll go tell the Chairman and Grand Elder—they'll be overjoyed to hear this!"

Saying this, Elder Jian rushed toward the headquarters' back courtyard.

"I'm coming too!"

Elder Long followed close behind Elder Jian.

Leaving behind the messenger who had come from Purple Yuncheng…

"Ha ha! The Grand Elder's divination was right—this Chen Feng is truly Babaozhai's lucky star!" the Babaozhai Chairman laughed heartily. "How quickly he's already slain two God-Rank Mid-Grade Elders of the Shenlongshang Alliance and three God-Rank Low-Grade Beast Tamers—this is excellent!"

The Grand Elder also smiled: "Indeed, among God-Rank Low-Grade Beast Tamers, Chen Feng stands alone at the top—he has an extremely high probability of ascending to God-Rank Mid-Grade."

At this point, even though they had not yet uncovered Su Yang's true identity,

they no longer harbored much suspicion toward him.

If he were a Shenlongshang Alliance spy, they'd gladly welcome more such spies!

As for Su Yang's grudge against the Shenlongshang Alliance, they no longer cared.

Even if there had been no prior feud, there certainly was now—clearly, they were now mortal enemies!

Chairman Tan Ming smiled at Elder Jian: "Elder Jian, spread this news widely—boost Babaozhai's morale, let everyone know we have an elder like Chen Feng!"

If you're not ruthless, you won't stand firm.

On the Beast Tamer Continent, strength alone commands respect.

Weakness only invites exploitation.

Other factions, catching wind of this, will swarm like sharks to carve off a piece of meat.

Only a firm counterstrike—making the enemy know you're not to be trifled with, that taking you will cost them dearly—can possibly bring peace.
