After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer Chapter 295

Chapter 295: Chapter 251: Jin Ye Guard_2

But when he had analyzed the fight with Chi Xue last time, Sìxiàng reminded itself that its Dark Realm Judgment Hook struggled immensely to take hold of the opponent's Beast Taming soul, with unbearably slow speed.

That indicated one thing: the more powerful the Beast Taming, the stronger the soul. If they encountered a Beast Tamer who had achieved Soul Transcendence, perhaps even Sìxiàng might not be certain it could hook away the opponent's soul.

Ming Junting laughed, “Don't worry, this is Great Xia's territory, he can't stir up any trouble here, and when he left, I had already sent one of my Beasts to follow him, so there's no need to worry about your family.”

Chen Xing felt a warmth in his heart, “Thank you!”

Ming Junting said, “Are you interested in joining my Jin Ye Guard? We need talents like you in our ranks.”

Chen Xing hesitated. When leaving, his mentor had mentioned that if there were any problems, he could turn to Han Zhaobao, but he didn't know Han that well, having only met a few times.

Having a more significant relationship depended on the mentor as a bridge; strictly speaking, he was in debt to the other party, not the other way around. Under such circumstances, how could he ask for help? Moreover, Chen Xing wasn't a newbie who knew nothing anymore, a Beast Taming of the Sixth Layers, a level that could be considered a master anywhere.

Was Han Zhaobao a match for the opponent?

Right after he had completed the Transcendence Ceremony, Chen had sneaked a peek at Han Zhaobao's Hurricane Dragonhawk King; it was only power level 135, about the Fourth Layers strength.

Besides Han Zhaobao, other powerful individuals Chen Xing knew, or who he thought could be powerful, were the Dean of his academy.

But he had never seen the Dean's Beast, and he didn't know if he could match the opponent.

However, there was a rationale to consider: To put it bluntly, with no kinship or obligation, it was an act of grace if others helped you, and their duty if they didn't. Why should they take the risk to fight a master for you?

Alternatively, he could seek out Wan Hailong, but from previous interactions, this person was one who wouldn't do anything without profit. He had stood opposite Meng Quan for an extended period, which suggested his strength might be comparable.

Now, there were two paths before Chen Xing: one was to agree to Ming Junting, who must have the confidence to deal with Meng Quan if he spoke as such.

The price would be joining the Jin Ye Guard, a secret organization which would surely have strict controls once joined.

The second path was to refuse and look for help himself, which wasn't guaranteed to produce a suitable ally.

The third would be to refuse and then confront Meng Quan directly, dragging him into the Dark Realm, and afterward, depart the Dark Realm with Sìxiàng.

The Dark Realm was fraught with dangers, and perhaps its perils could directly cause Meng Quan's fall.

Seeing Chen Xing's gaze wander, Ming Junting knew that the young man was definitely weighing the pros and cons and said irritably, “Is my Jin Ye Guard some den of demons and lair of monsters?”

Feeling his thoughts exposed, Chen Xing coughed to cover his embarrassment.

In the years Ming Junting had spent capturing criminals and corrupt officials, they were countless, and he could see through Chen Xing's careful considerations, “Are you worried that once you join the Jin Ye Guard, you'll have to hide in the shadows like a rat, unable to see the light of day, forever concealing your name and avoiding people?”

Chen Xing quickly shook his head.

Ming Junting laughed and scolded, “That's clearly what you're thinking!”

“All right, I'll have someone make a token for you, and from then on, you'll be an undercover agent for our Jin Ye Guard. This is different from what you imagine,” Ming Junting said. “Maybe hundreds of years ago, it was as you think, but what era is it now? Who still sticks to those old ways?”

Ming Junting, with a teasing tone, continued, “Being in the open means wearing the Jin Ye Guard's uniform like these subordinates around me, openly displaying their association.”

“As an undercover agent, you continue to use your current identity. When you're not called upon, nobody knows who you are. Even if you have to take action, your identity will be concealed, and no one will know it's you. Don't worry, apart from some urgent matters, we typically won't need to call on you.”

“Besides, the Jin Ye Guard always rewards accomplishments. If you had killed Chi Xue as a member, the reward you'd receive would be at least double what your academy would offer.”

Hearing this, Chen Xing felt somewhat tempted.

If that were the case, then the Jin Ye Guard was not as bad as he had imagined.

Moreover, just the attitude alone, for a Third-Rank Jin Ye Guard Commandant to converse so amiably with him was quite a respectful gesture.

Ming Junting went on, “Moreover, do you think that Chi Xue could have really escaped from me that day? You must be satisfied with the bounty that fell into your lap.”

Chen Xing's heart skipped a beat as he instantly understood.

No wonder Chi Xue had managed to flee all the way to his location.

Ming Junting had indeed made a great effort.

But Chen Xing still didn't want to join; there were other ways for him to obtain resources.

And once he joined an organization like the Jin Ye Guard, it would be like the undercover agents in Infernal Affairs—extremely difficult to get out.

He would bear the mark of the Jin Ye Guard for life.

Ming Junting said, “You can rest assured, once you join, you only need to listen to my secret orders; no one in the Jin Ye Guard other than me will know your identity.”

At that moment, Qin Xuan, who was sitting beside him working, coughed softly as a reminder that there was still a living person here.

Lord Ming's smile faded, and he glanced sideways at him, rendering the air quiet.

Qin Xuan felt somewhat uneasy. Would Lord Ming kill him to silence him?

“Sorry, and thank you for your kindness,” Chen Xing shook his head.

Lord Ming's gaze shifted to Chen Xing, his deep hawk-like eyes suddenly becoming sharp, “You have rejected me twice, aren't you afraid of me?”

Chen Xing responded calmly, “Afraid.”

Lord Ming and Chen Xing locked eyes for a few seconds, then he said, “Never mind, it's just not meant to be. Meng Quan might have sensed something. He just left via the Teleportation Array, but my Beast Taming follows him. Would you like to go after him personally?” Lord Ming said, looking at Chen Xing.

Meng Quan left via the Teleportation Array?

Chen Xing was somewhat surprised, but this man was indeed cautious, able to directly use the Teleportation Array to travel millions of miles to come here, and just as ready to flee at the slightest hint of trouble.

If I don't kill him, I won't be able to sleep in peace.

“I am willing to go!” Chen Xing clasped his hands together in salute.

A person of Meng Quan's status with five Beast Tamings must have at least one with Fleshly Transcendence, which would be perfect as Chen Xing lacked the materials to make high-grade meat for his pet's meal.

Lord Ming nodded, “Hmm. Qin Xuan, accompany him on this trip.”

Qin Xuan, who had been sitting cross-legged behind the desk, stood up, his loose robe unfolding and billowing until Chen Xing, upon seeing Qin Xuan stand, realized that the man who had been sitting beside Lord Ming, seemingly without much presence, was actually very tall.

Only when he came closer did Chen Xing notice that his height exceeded 1.9 meters, his demeanor calm and his Adam's apple prominent.

“Let's go,” Qin Xuan said with a slight smile, nodding at Chen Xing by way of greeting.

As they stepped out of the tavern, a cool breeze greeted them, ruffling the hair on their foreheads.

Once outside, Chen Xing got a clear view. He saw Qin Xuan in a dark red loose robe with a black belt at the waist and golden cloud patterns on the cuffs, exuding an ancient aesthetic.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned a Level 138 black and white Xuan Luan.

“Come aboard.”

Chen Xing, without any hesitation, followed Qin Xuan onto the back of the black and white Xuan Luan.

However, seeing the black and white Xuan Luan, Chen Xing couldn't help but think of black and white chicken… It was hard to imagine that they were the evolved forms of the same creature.

[Species] Black and White Xuan Luan

[Power Level] 138

[Power Level Cap] 150

[Attributes] Dark, Light

[Body Length] 9.5 meters

[Wingspan] 13.7 meters

[Weight] 3780kg

The two quickly arrived at the Teleportation Array, where Qin Xuan led Chen Xing to a teleportation hall next to it and asked Chen Xing to wait there.

Shortly after, Qin Xuan came out, holding a handwritten note.

Then Chen Xing saw the staff of the Teleportation Array busying themselves.

The previously halted Teleportation Array was activated again, targeting the destination that Meng Quan had gone to not long ago.

Where everyone was going was recorded in the teleportation hall, and one could simply check to know their destination.

Chen Xing inwardly sighed; before this, he had heard that the Teleportation Array was only activated a fixed number of times per day, and that using it separately not only required a substantial amount of Spirit Gold but also a waiting period.

It now seemed that this was not the case, and it was only a matter of insufficient status.

The authority that came with the identity of the Jin Ye Guard was even greater than he had imagined.

In the vast Teleportation Array, only Chen Xing and Qin Xuan were present. With a flash of light, the two vanished from the spot.
