173: You want me to work for your son for the rest of my life?

As he spoke, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the War Drum Master's face, exactly the same as Song Gong's earlier.

It was the kind of smile that sent shivers down one's spine just by looking at it.

Then.

He grinned and said, "Don't bother trying; I placed a Restriction on him long ago.

The moment my identity is involved, his life ends right there. No one can stop it.

As for you!

I don't know who you are, but I believe we will meet again soon, hahaha..."

The War Drum Master's Soul began to spontaneously combust, burning intensely. Chi Yu tried to put it out but failed.

This scent—that's the one!

It was several levels more sophisticated than the one controlling Lü Kai.

Based on the War Drum Master's description, it was likely The Weaver who controlled Lü Kai, while the 'Lord' controlled the War Drum Master.

Then this Lord's Soul System beast must be extremely extraordinary... It was a pity the War Drum Master couldn't be developed into an informant in the end; otherwise, he could have controlled every move of the Extinction Cult.

Although the Extinction Cult was alerted this time, it wasn't a total loss. A King-level Beast Tamer was eliminated, even if it was that 'Lord' who did the deed.

Furthermore, he now knew the general composition and strength of the cult members.

Currently, he could hold his own against the Arbiter, the Insect Master, and The Weaver.

As for the Lord, the High Priest, and The Sower, he couldn't handle those three yet.

It seemed he needed to go back and power up. Once he became a King-level Beast Tamer, he would come back to deal with the Extinction Cult.

As for the War Drum Master's beasts, they were currently in a state of confusion due to their master's death.

Regarding this, Chen Fei was merciless: "Kill!"

They were fifth-tier beasts after all; not killing them would only cause unnecessary trouble later.

[Killed a fifth-tier stage 3 War Drum Demon, slaughter value +7200.]

Chen Fei glanced at it, looking quite disdainful.

Killing a Fourth-Level Beast gave hundreds, while a fifth-tier gave thousands.

He would have to kill hundreds of fifth-tier beasts to get 1 million slaughter value. The problem was, where would he find so many fifth-tier beasts?

Wait.

The Fierce Lands have them!

It seemed he should take a trip there in a while... Inside the church!

The murderous atmosphere had never been so terrifying.

"This enemy is not weak, especially their assassination and infiltration abilities.

They are also proficient in Soul, Crystal, Ice Domains, and the Nature System.

There is no matching King-level Beast Tamer in Tianqing City; they must be an outsider, or perhaps even an organization.

To be able to set up an Advanced great array, they are definitely no simpletons. Moreover, their various methods are far too similar to those of an assassin."

That's right!

The Arbiter had categorized Chen Fei as a King-level Beast Tamer.

Besides a King-level Beast Tamer, who else could suppress them in a fight?

A Grandmaster-level Beast Tamer?

No, no, no. The Arbiter, Insect Master, and The Weaver wouldn't even consider that possibility.

This misinformation served to better hide Chen Fei's identity.

The High Priest asked, "So you mean the opponent might actually be from the Green Robe Tower?"

The Arbiter did not answer.

But silence was an answer in itself.

The High Priest looked at The Watcher: "What has the Green Robe Tower been up to lately?"

The Watcher first opened a projection interface and then recounted the information he had gathered: "Shortly after the War Drum Master was assassinated last night, the Green Robe Tower launched a channel for accepting missions on the dark web.

In other words, they announced their emergence last night."

The High Priest's brow furrowed, his tone quite grim: "This Green Robe Tower has quite the nerve to target us as soon as they emerge!

Investigate!

See if you can find their headquarters.

If you find it, we will develop this organization into a part of our cult."

At this moment, the High Priest wanted to annex the Green Robe Tower.

To others, this would be unthinkable, but to the High Priest, there was plenty of room to maneuver.

After all, he was backed by the Evil King, giving him complete confidence.

The Green Robe Tower's assassination capabilities and intelligence network were both quite attractive to the High Priest.

"Also, it's time we moved to a new place..."

...Chen Fei stored the War Drum Master's body and then returned directly to Baiyue City.

If the Green Robe Tower had truly emerged, he had to take precautions.

Just as he returned via Crystal Shuttle, Chen Fei felt a wave of pressure.

It was the aura of a King-level Beast Tamer about to achieve a Breakthrough.

He didn't expect to run into such a good thing right as he got back.

Chen Fei quickly pushed open the door and found Chen Qingyun, Cheng Jingjing, and others working together to set up measures to minimize this Breakthrough aura.

"Ya, you lend a hand too."

Lin Ya, in his semi-summoned state, snapped his fingers and applied a layer of Spatial Barrier without Chen Qingyun or the others noticing.

Then, Chen Fei also activated the Hidden Origin Art, propping up a Concealment Domain to encompass the area where Xing Shaoshan was breaking through.

Under multiple layers of Concealment, the aura of Xing Shaoshan's Breakthrough was reduced to a minimum.

This way, it shouldn't be known by too many people, allowing them to give the enemy a surprise.

After a good while, Xing Shaoshan finally stabilized his King-level Beast Tamer aura.

"Hahaha, Old Chen, Old Xie, I've broken through!"

Xing Shaoshan's laughter was filled with excitement and drive, as if he wanted to immediately drag out some Evil Beasts and give them a beating.

"Congratulations!"

"Old Xing, you're awesome!"

"Doesn't this call for a celebration?"

Xing Shaoshan's face suddenly stiffened: "Celebrate my foot. All my family assets are with your son, and I'm still buried in debt."

Chen Qingyun teased, "It's fine, you can keep borrowing. After all, once you have enough lice, they don't itch, and once you have enough debt, you stop worrying!"

Xing Shaoshan said with a dark face, "You want me to work for your son for the rest of my life, don't you?"

"I think it's pretty good. My son just happens to be missing a King-level bodyguard."

Xing Shaoshan: ...This conversation is over.

Cheng Jingjing first offered her congratulations and then said, "Alright, business first. We've started setting up the defensive lines and will have those traitors pass along fake information.

This time, we'll catch a turtle in a jar."

"Good idea. This time we'll use this information gap to catch them off guard."

"Let's get to work!"

Chen Fei naturally joined in the preparations.

However, what he set up were his own methods.

The Ten Directions Ambush Great Array Formation Plate, the Hundred Ghosts Night Parade Array Formation Plate, and the glazed immortal crystals buried by Little Gu and the Third-Generation Bugs.

In addition, the Nirvana Needle could be further improved...
