Beastmaster of the Ages

Shrine Master Mu was a foundationeer at the level of Meng Ying, Shenxi Xingtian, and Yi Daiyan. His eyes, along with the eyes of the five-colored snake tail, scanned the surroundings. The spiritual power of a foundationeer swept out, instantly covering the entire New Shrine.

”No one?” Everyone he could find was on his side! So who could have left these words on the ground in such a short time?

Of course, it was Yin Chen. Tianming had originally planned to let Yin Chen talk to him, but he thought about it and decided against it. He had used it in battle before, and he was afraid of being exposed. Using Yin Chen to monitor a foundationeer was quite exciting.

This time, having evolved into a hundred billion bodies, Yin Chen’s abilities had improved in all aspects, including the stealth ability of the invisible cockroach. It now had several more ways to transform, which helped evade Shrine Master Mu’s search. Even if it was discovered, it could rapidly self-destruct and no one would know what it had been!

It was indeed reliable.

As a result, Shrine Master Mu was confused.

”Powerful or not?” If Tianming wasn’t powerful, how could he monitor him? But if he was powerful, why would he need to hide? Why spend so much effort for grade-four order fragments?

”Shrine Master, what’s this?” Mu Fu was bewildered.

Shrine Master Mu immediately waved his hand, returned to the hall, and directly went to pick up Mu Zhizhi.

Mu Fu looked down at the words under his feet and understood. ”It seems that we can only communicate with our eyes in the future.” Had Shrine Master Mu given up? Even Mu Fu himself didn’t know!

......

Near the Bloodtower Cult, Tianming listened to all of Yin Chen’s descriptions.

”At the very least, they won’t dare to arrange people nearby.” If that was the case, then Tianming wouldn’t be afraid. ”Shrine Master Mu, I’m giving you a chance, cherish it,” he sneered. He knew that his plan wouldn’t go as smoothly as before. The higher a person’s status was, the more things they had to consider. They were unlikely to be as pure as Qi Huan.

”After this cure is over, if the matter spreads and shocks Antiquitas Mortis, I won’t be surprised.” By then, more people would enter the Ninth District, making it even more chaotic there.

But Yin Chen gave Tianming confidence. A hundred billion Yin Chens! Who could find him undetected?

Now that Zi Zhen had had an accident and was captured by the Bloodtower Cult, Tianming had to deal with the matter, otherwise he would have many nightmares. He had to take risks, but be decisive.

”We’ve arranged it, so let’s wait for Shrine Master Mu to deliver the person.” He looked at the Bloodtower Cult, which was still full of activity. Time was running out.

......

Three days later, Shrine Master Mu finally brought his daughter, Mu Zhizhi, to the location specified by Tianming. Throughout the process, he had communicated very little with her.

Yin Chen said that, after that day, Shrine Master Mu became very cautious. He rarely spoke very loudly, especially when communicating with his daughter. He created an energy field with his cosmoforce, strangling everything around them during their communication. As long as he was careful, it was indeed difficult to eavesdrop.

But Tianming only needed to see that there were no people around him, and that was enough. At the location designated by him, Yin Chen was densely packed all over the place.

”Shrine Master... Mu has... left now.”

He retreated to the location specified by Tianming. After confirming no one was around, Tianming then took action and went to that location.

Yin Chen was moving within the Ninth District.

Tianming arrived and saw a young antiquitean woman quietly laying in the canyon. She was surrounded by black mist, and curse power surged on her forehead. Her gaze was scattered, her skin was wrinkled, and whether it was the human head or snake head, she looked very tired.

She had been waiting there for several days. During those days, she could only look up at the sky and couldn’t do anything. Until today, when a person entirely covered by a cosmic artifact appeared in front of her.

”You....” Mu Zhizhi shivered.

”Grade-four order fragments, five of them, bring them out first,” Tianming said with a hoarse voice.

”Okay.” Mu Zhizhi raised her hand with some difficulty and took out the things prepared for him. Tianming took out the grade-four order fragments from the spatial ring before throwing it away.

Last time, after taking things from the nascent mediums, he had been tracked. He guessed that there might be a problem with the order fragments. At that time, he didn’t look carefully. This time, before curing the person, he was determined to check several times to make sure there was no big problem before he put them away.

The payment had been collected and now it was time to hand over the goods. ”Lie down and don’t move,” he said.

Mu Zhizhi hummed, her eyes trembling lightly as she watched Tianming land on her forehead.

Begin! Tianming was already very familiar with the entire process. Mu Zhizhi’s body was over a thousand meters tall, and the xeno fatigue had festered through her entire body. Absorbing it all would take some time.

During that time, Yin Chen would remain locked on to Shrine Master Mu and others. They hadn’t moved.

It was obvious that, with the passage of time, Mu Zhizhi’s eyes kept changing. From their original dim and gray, hope gradually emerged until her complexion became radiant.

”Thank you, benefactor, really thank you.” Before it ended, Mu Zhizhi was already excited and tearful.

”Don’t be polite. I’m just taking people’s money and eliminating disasters for them. You don’t owe me, and I don’t owe you,” Tianming said.

”But... being able to resolve xeno fatigue is quite remarkable. It can even be said that you’re the most remarkable person in this world because of this ability.”

Although her appearance was considered quite attractive for an antiquitean, their faces had a pale, shark-like look to them and naturally appeared more ferocious. So, even though Tianming liked them big, he felt relatively indifferent toward her.

”Your praise is too much, just some pocket money,” Tianming said.

”Benefactor is humble,” Mu Zhizhi chuckled. After a while, she bit her lip, mustered up her courage, and said, ”Benefactor, with your abilities, you can truly save many people and obtain endless rewards. If—”

”If what?” Tianming raised his eyebrows and asked.

”If you cooperate with my dad, you can save people and he can protect you. Then you’ll soon become the richest person in the entire Antiquitas Mortis. You’re the benefactor of my family....”

Tianming barked a humorless laugh. He didn’t want to say much. For him, this transaction was about to end.

“Benefactor, will you not consider it?”

“Quiet,” Tianming coldly said. He had heard the shrine master’s words and could only say that the father and daughter weren’t the pure-hearted type. But he was just in this for the money! It was just one transaction.

”Be honest, you pay me money to do things and the service is over now. You’ve gained a new life—that’s enough, goodbye.”
