I Tame Beasts by Feeding

With that, the two no longer hesitated. They turned and vanished in two rainbow-like streaks. Though they were reluctant to abandon the Cyan Luo Beast, Yu Changsheng's ruthlessness filled them with even greater fear.

From the moment Yu Changsheng attacked to the moment he killed Tang He, only about a hundred breaths had passed. Yet the methods he had displayed were enough to completely intimidate them.

As he watched the two leave, Yu Changsheng gazed at their retreating figures and slowly shook his head, a look of disappointment and regret appearing on his face.

This scene was also perceived by Huo Wei Yi, who had been secretly observing Yu Changsheng. His body paused almost imperceptibly before his speed erupted once more. In an instant, he completely vanished from Yu Changsheng's sight.

Once the others were gone, Yu Changsheng slowly floated down to the ground. He looked at the Cyan Luo Beast, its eyes already closed, and sighed softly. He unleashed a palm strike that surged into the beast's internal organs, completely extinguishing its Vitality.

"Meeeeh..."

The Cyan Luo Beast let out a sorrowful cry, and then, unwilling to accept its fate, it finally died. It was beyond saving.

After recalling his three Spirit Beasts to his Inner Realm and placing the Cyan Luo Beast's corpse into his bag, Yu Changsheng finally let a trace of exhaustion show on his face.

The series of battles had taken a heavy toll on him; he was nowhere near as relaxed as he appeared. In particular, maintaining the Ten Thousand Spirits Technique's Touch Spirit status for such a long time had placed a considerable strain on his mind.

'It's finally over.'

Yu Changsheng glanced around at the barren wasteland. The aftershocks of the battle had destroyed all the surrounding trees and shattered the earth and stone. In the distance, pairs of eyes watched from the shadows, but none dared to make a rash move.

After collecting the scattered Magical Treasure—the Black Spirit Net that had trapped the Cyan Luo Beast—Yu Changsheng slowly closed his eyes. He sent a message to Yu Changao and then focused on recovering his strength.

A short while later, Yu Changao arrived, looking nervous. He first scanned the surroundings warily, and only after confirming there was no danger did he breathe a sigh of relief and approach Yu Changsheng.

He hadn't brought Yu Changao along earlier to prevent Tang He and his group from using Yu Changao as a hostage. He only sent for him to help wrap things up once the battle was over.

"How did it go, Changsheng? Where are Tang He and the others?"

Yu Changao asked, clearly on edge, after taking a deep breath.

"Tang He? He's dead."

Yu Changsheng said flatly, glancing toward the forest before leading Yu Changao down the mountain.

"Dead?"

Yu Changao froze for a moment, then his eyes widened as he stared at Yu Changsheng in utter disbelief.

"Yes. Everything went smoothly. I've secured the Cyan Luo Beast, and the Tang Family will no longer be a threat."

Yu Changsheng said, gazing thoughtfully into the distance.

"The Tang Family... is finished?"

"Not yet, but they might as well be," Yu Changsheng said calmly. "Without a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the Tang Family is destined to be carved up by the other families. The enemies they've made in the past won't let this opportunity slip by."

The shock in Yu Changao's heart had already swept through his mind, powerful enough to stir monstrous waves.

'He was already stunned that Changsheng had killed three Foundation Establishment Cultivators by himself. But damn, this time he went and destroyed Tang He and doomed the entire Tang Family.'

"What do you think about this: now that the Tang Family has been dealt with, I'd like you to establish a branch of the Odd Demon Pavilion here in Dongyang City."

Yu Changsheng said suddenly, a sharp glint in his eyes.

"Huh? A branch of the Odd Demon Pavilion? And I'd be in charge?"

Yu Changao was taken aback and hesitated slightly.

"The Tang Family, our greatest enemy, has been dealt with. As for the Huo Family and the Lin Family, we have no direct conflicts of interest with them. Besides, they're wary of me after what I've just done."

"I'm sure if we establish an Odd Demon Pavilion in Dongyang City now, they won't deliberately obstruct us. They might even send congratulatory gifts in an attempt to build a good relationship."

As Yu Changsheng finished, his eyes shone brightly. The more he considered it, the more plausible it seemed. It was a perfectly logical plan.

"Mmm..." Yu Changao pondered for a moment, then nodded. "What you're saying is true, but if I'm the one in charge, I'm afraid I won't do a good job."

Yu Changao gave a wry smile, still hesitant.

"After all, you'll be leaving soon. My Cultivation is only at the Qi Refining Realm. Facing the watchful eyes of those two families and their Foundation Establishment Cultivators, I wouldn't be able to withstand the slightest hint of malice."

'Of course, Yu Changsheng had the strength to be confident, but it was a different story for me.'

"Don't worry," Yu Changsheng smiled and patted Yu Changao's shoulder, chuckling. "Before I leave, let's invite them to a meal. Once we have a little chat, they'll know what to do."

"In that case," Yu Changao nodded after a brief hesitation, "thank you for your trust in me, Changsheng. I'll do my best."

"I'll be counting on you to manage the daily affairs. Of course, don't let it get in the way of your Cultivation. You can use all the profits as you see fit. The priority is to raise your Cultivation level."

Yu Changsheng grinned. "That way, you'll be able to help me manage it even better in the future, haha."

A warmth spread through Yu Changao's heart, and an unconscious smile appeared on his face. He nodded lightly. "Okay."

With the Cyan Luo Beast secured, their trip down the mountain was much faster. About an hour later, they reached their post in Dongyang City.

After settling matters, Yu Changsheng went into his study and, with a wave of his hand, summoned the Colorful Star Deer.

"CHREEE!!"

The Colorful Star Deer let out a clear cry and affectionately nuzzled Yu Changsheng's palm. A hint of anticipation could be seen in its small eyes, and its spiraling antlers shone with a faint light.

"Be patient. It'll be soon."

Yu Changsheng chuckled, ruffling the Colorful Star Deer's head.

The Colorful Star Deer nodded, looking very well-behaved.

[Demon Refining Extraction]

[Consumed: One Cyan Luo Beast corpse. Successfully purified the bloodline of the Tier Two Demon Beast, the Cyan Luo Beast! Obtained: 3000 Essence Points! Obtained: One portion of pure Cyan Luo Beast bloodline!]

As the system's notification sounded, the Cyan Luo Beast's corpse vanished from his bag. Yu Changsheng smiled faintly, stroking the Colorful Star Deer's head as a flash of light flickered in his palm.

'Bloodline Fusion, Cyan Luo Beast!' Yu Changsheng commanded with a thought.

[Bloodline Fusion!]

[Consumed: One portion of Tier Two Cyan Luo Beast bloodline. Successfully fused into the Colorful Star Deer!]

WHOOSH!

The Colorful Star Deer's body trembled violently. It threw its head back with a long cry as its antlers spiraled and grew, and its entire frame rapidly expanded.

The aura emanating from its body climbed steadily, soon reaching a bottleneck, and then it began to push against it, striving for a higher level.

"Take this elixir!" Yu Changsheng didn't hesitate, pulling out an entirely gray elixir and feeding it to the Colorful Star Deer.

"Chreee~"

The Colorful Star Deer let out a long cry. As the elixir settled in its stomach, its previously stalled advancement resumed. A faint, crimson light began to flicker around it, enveloping its entire body.

[You have successfully fed the Colorful Star Deer. Consumed: One small Two-Stripe Beast-Storage Pill. Obtained: 2000 Essence!]

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Colorful Star Deer bent its legs slightly. With a sudden leap and a flash of white light, the aura of its Cultivation broke through to a new level. Its body grew larger once again.

Its appearance hadn't changed much otherwise, except that its already massive antlers had grown even larger and now glowed faintly. Its clear eyes held an indescribable expression, captivating enough to draw you in and mesmerize you, with a mysterious light shimmering within.

[Name: Colorful Star Deer]

[Realm: Tier Two, First Layer!]

[Status: Euphoria]

Looking at the Colorful Star Deer's new stats, Yu Changsheng slowly let out a breath and scratched the back of his head, his delight obvious.

"Chreee..."

The Colorful Star Deer also seemed overjoyed. It cried out incessantly, prancing around Yu Changsheng with even greater affection in its eyes.

[The Colorful Star Deer has successfully advanced to Tier Two. Its bloodline strength has increased. It has obtained the Cyan Luo Beast's innate ability: the powerful healing ability, Cyan Luo Green Light.]

[Cyan Luo Green Light: An area-of-effect healing ability. Can rapidly heal injuries and restore condition in a short amount of time. Within the light's radius, it can selectively bestow a Self-healing Ability and also grant a temporary boost to speed and Cultivation.]

As this information appeared, Yu Changsheng felt a warmth spread through him. A stream of pure Spiritual Power flowed through the Spirit Beast Contract, coursing through his body. It swirled within his Qi Sea, solidifying his third Spirit Platform.

His third Spirit Platform grew warm. Empowered by this feedback of power, it rapidly solidified, beginning to shine brightly.
