Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 263 - 160: Chaos in Linzhou! Su Ping’s ’Second Grandpa’!

Yunning swept swiftly across the sky.

Flying at full speed from Linzhou City Center to the highway leading to the suburbs took merely three to five minutes.

However, just as Dong Muyun zipped through the air, a tremendous BOOM detonated right ahead!

Dong Muyun’s face turned extremely pale in that moment.

Yunning, which had enveloped Dong Muyun completely, descended from the sky, ignoring the fierce flames and heatwave still sweeping through.

It was utter chaos. A sea of fire met her eyes.

Dong Muyun paid no heed to this. After quickly scanning the scene, she thought without hesitation,

The call connected. To Dong Muyun’s immense relief, it was swiftly answered.

Su Ping’s voice soon came through the phone.

"Hello, Su Ping, are you alright?"

"I’m fine."

The voice on the other end was indeed very calm, so calm it surprised Dong Muyun.

"Sister Yun, could you help me check if Feifei’s Mechanical Core on Black Blood is alright?"

"Sure, where are you now? Do you need me to send someone to protect you?"

"That shouldn’t be necessary. They probably won’t expect me to have escaped, nor anticipate this. You take care of things there first. I need some time alone to think."

The call ended. Su Ping sat on a bench in the hospital lobby, lost in thought.

After a brief surge of anger, Su Ping completely regained his composure. He sank into deep contemplation.

Su Ping was 100 percent certain that the ones who made their move were definitely Mu Yu and his associates from earlier that day. Because aside from these people from Eagle Country, no one else would have the audacity, nor would they deploy Mechanical Weapons.

He could understand their brazenness, given that there was not a shred of evidence now.

The Beast Tamers who had acted were as dead as could be. Even if their Eagle Country identities were suspected, having the Beast Master Association’s guards apprehend them would, at most, result in a couple of days of questioning. Su Ping believed that since they had made a move, they certainly wouldn’t fear these measures. Moreover, due to their status, it was unlikely that overly harsh measures would be used.

If it were young people around twenty, new to the world, Su Ping would believe they might act that way. But clearly, Mu Yu was not one of them.

Therefore, Su Ping quickly speculated that their objective wasn’t just the Paperman. Indeed, if it were only for the Paperman, they probably wouldn’t have chosen to decisively kill me.

Su Ping didn’t really think he was a genius, or important to that extent. His mind raced, recalling the brief, less-than-five-minute first encounter with Mu Yu and his group that morning.

With that thought, he subconsciously touched his neck. A cold sensation spread from his palm deep into his heart.

At this moment, Mu Yu’s last words echoed in Su Ping’s mind.

Su Ping was somewhat confused. He then took off the Sword Seal Pendant hanging from his neck. It was a pitch-black, sword-shaped pendant that looked a bit like a cross, but one could clearly see it was indeed sword-shaped.

Apart from the strange Skull Head on this small, sword-shaped pendant, which looked somewhat unconventional, this object was no different from the tacky five-dollar trinkets from his previous life. Of course, that was only its appearance.

In fact, as a spatial pendant, it held value. That’s why Su Ping had kept it.

Some items inconvenient to store in the Beast Taming Space had been temporarily tossed inside. Indeed, it was from within this pendant that he had retrieved Mu Yu’s Cultivation Journal.

Su Ping’s eyebrows furrowed.

At this moment, it was as if a realization struck him; his heart understood something, yet numerous doubts remained. The Heavenly Tomb Sword Seal, left behind by the Fengdu Sword King, was originally just a spatial item for storing the Sword King’s cultivation journal. But now, it appeared to be far more complex than that.

Su Ping recalled the name the Fengdu Sword King had given this artifact.

Su Ping hadn’t paid much attention to it before. Historically, there were many human forbidden zones, areas controlled by Ferocious Beasts. However, as countless years passed and human Beast Tamers grew stronger alongside the expansion of civilization, the number of such forbidden zones greatly diminished.
