The Master of Beasts

Chapter 1029 - 369: Shadows Within and Without (Part 2)

Yun Hu didn’t understand the internal situation of the Yun Family; being able to connect with a direct lineage youth was already quite good.

"Forget it, what does it matter to me."

Yun Hu regarded himself as a very honest person; everything he did was by the order of the Yun Family, and his life’s creed was to avoid offending people if possible.

"Leng She and Mr. Chen come from the same place, it seems he’s also a follower of his. Recently, we’ve recruited quite a few people from him to perfect the self-circulation of the breeding farm, I’ll need to find an opportunity to explain it!"

"And then there’s Andrew, the deputy manager at the Hundred Beasts Pavilion. Although he seems to have an ordinary relationship with Mr. Chen, I always feel their relationship is not simple, and I need to find a chance to visit him."

Having decided whom to visit next, Yun Hu left the room with a relaxed expression.

The largest courtyard in the manor’s outer perimeter, this is Yun Congyi’s garden.

As the chief steward of Heavenly Light Manor, Yun Congyi was different from the ordinary attendants; he had his own garden, although it was in the outer area, it was already quite remarkable.

As for the inner garden, except for Chen Jiuge who had a fixed room with a special designation, even Yun Hu, a home-born of the Yun Family, didn’t have a room of his own.

This indeed was Yun Yan’s private domain. Oh yes, Yun Yan also had a room of her own in the inner garden.

"Boom"

A palm strike pushed out, the compressed air emitted a continuous series of sonic booms.

"Still lacking a bit; if I can break through to the Ninth Level, there may be a chance to glimpse the Breaking the Limit Realm in the future."

Yun Congyi sighed.

To become the manager of Heavenly Light Manor, Yun Congyi’s management ability was important, but so was his cultivation talent; otherwise, even with Yun Yan’s backing, without sufficient cultivation, Yun Congyi couldn’t have become the chief steward.

"Chief steward, this month’s ledger from the Outer Circle Beast Pavilion!"

"Just leave it there," Yun Congyi said calmly.

After the attendant left, Yun Congyi swiftly picked up the ledger, exhibiting none of the posture of an older person.

After reviewing the ledger, Yun Congyi couldn’t help but exclaim: "Good!"

"The Outer Circle Beast Pavilion has stabilized; as long as there are no accidents, its future potential will certainly surpass the current main store!"

"No, the outer circle is too chaotic, I need to dispatch two more teams!"

Heavenly Light Manor’s armed team mainly divides into two parts; the first part being the largest, the Artificial Body Transformer team, every team leader is a Seventh Level Artificial Body Transformer, with ten team members each possessing at least Fourth Level strength, totaling ten teams with one hundred and ten people.

The other part is the Cultivator team personally recruited and cultivated by Yun Yan, not large in number, only thirty people, although the strongest ten were taken by Yun Yan.

"Heavenly Light Manor is still relatively stable; although Miss Yun is no longer here, generally no one dares to spy. Let’s reassign a team from the Artificial Body Brigade, along with several capable cultivators, should be about right."

If conditions permitted, Yun Congyi wished he could enhance the security measures for Chen Jiuge’s side, but he couldn’t.

After Yun Yan disappeared, although there seemed to be no changes, certain things have indeed subtly shifted; the armed strength of Heavenly Light Manor must be sufficiently ensured.

"Let’s just leave it like that though, but Yun Hu, ultimately, is he working for which young master or miss, internal conflicts and external threats indeed!"

Yun Congyi’s expression was quite troubled; were it not for the rules of the Yun Family, Yun Congyi felt he could have long since rebelled.

Exotic Beast Mini World

After Yun Yan broke through her cultivation, she conducted a massacre and killed all the nearby Fire Monkeys, finally gaining some breathing space.

"Miss, what should we do next?"

"With the Miss’ current strength, and the aid of breeding armor, it’s not impossible to break through!" Hong Ye said with some anticipation.

"No way!" Wuta slightly shook his head.

"Definitely not," Mo Sang sighed.

"Why?" Bai Lu asked, puzzled.

"There are just too many."

Yun Yan calmly analyzed: "My strength combined with the breeding armor indeed has a high chance to break through the exotic beasts’ blockade, but that requires your cooperation, and in the best scenario, I break out alone while you all perish!"

The group fell silent, and Wuta said solemnly: "Death means little to us, but the risks are too high; the chance for Miss to escape is less than thirty percent, not worth the risk!"

"Now that Miss’ strength is equivalent to those top-tier fierce beasts, we can fully rely on the resources of this realm to enhance cultivation, strengthen battle capabilities, and break through when more confident."

"How long will that take, anyway, with our cultivation it’s not easy to break through, I haven’t even sensed any signs yet!" Hong Ye said somewhat reluctantly but helplessly.

Wuta and Mo Sang exchanged glances and smiled: "It’s actually not impossible."

"Both of us are martial artists, and the exotic beasts in this realm greatly aid us; given enough time, breaking through cultivation isn’t too hard!"

"Really!"

Hong Ye seemed incredulous.

All of us have Seventh Level Cultivation; breaking through from Seventh to Eighth Level isn’t simple, not everyone is like Yun Yan, backed by a grand family, possessing abundant resources for rapid advancement through two realms.

Since returning from the Mountain City, Yun Yan completed the family task and was rewarded, her cultivation advanced to Seventh Level, and within a few years in the mini world, broke through to Eighth Level, something they couldn’t achieve.

"No problem, these exotic beasts’ Qi-Blood are particularly abundant, and it’s a great supplement for martial artists; both of us have stalled at Seventh Level martial artist for a long time, with sufficient exotic beasts, within a year we can break through!"

"A year, huh?"

"Then we’ll just wait another year!"

The hardest times have passed; waiting another year isn’t much.

The four still alive are Yun Yan’s important base, and with the mini world’s tempering, returning will be highly beneficial, accelerating Hong Ye and Bai Lu’s breakthrough to Eighth Level.

Although Eighth Level cultivators may not be significant for the Yun family, they are vital combat strength for Yun Yan.

"Alright then, this little lady can only rely on you all!" Hong Ye threw a flirtatious glance at the two.

"Wuta and their breakthrough is critical, but both of you must also enhance your combat strength, and focus on self-preservation; I don’t want any accidents!"

Hong Ye and Bai Lu moved, saying: "Don’t worry, Miss, we will."

"Hmm, though the Fire Monkeys in this area have been cleared, safety cannot be fully guaranteed, remain cautious!"

"Yes, Miss!"

With a wave of her hand, Yun Yan returned alone to her residence, a simple stone house.

Sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, a trace of doubt flashed in Yun Yan’s eyes.

"Uncle Seven, what exactly are you planning?"

"Since this mini world is so dangerous, why encourage my entry, or is this situation anticipated by you?"

Yun Yan was puzzled; the attendants brought into the mini world were chosen by Yun Cheng, primarily martial artists, so in the most dangerous moments, survival depended on these martial artists.

If Yun Cheng wanted her doomed, there was no need to advise her; with her initial team setup, she wouldn’t have survived, let alone broken through.

Yet there’s a contradiction, knowing how dangerous this mini world is, why did Yun Cheng authorize her entry?

The patriarch’s promised rewards are nice but not essential to her, enhancing strength and influence but not leading to transformative change.

Without these rewards, though development would slow, judging by Hundred Beasts Pavilion’s pre-entry trend, she wouldn’t lag behind siblings, future accomplishments would far exceed theirs.

"Uncle Seven, what are you truly thinking? Did you cause father and mother’s incident?"

Sighing deeply, Yun Yan reluctantly suppressed her mental speculation; perhaps probe once out.

For the time being, Yun Yan’s group focused on accumulating power.

Mo Sang and Wuta frenziedly sparred daily and ate exotic beast meat when hungry; their aura grew stronger daily, at this pace, within a year likely breaking through.

Hong Ye and Bai Lu formed an exploration team, scouring the area for spirit plants, investigating their uses.
