After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

```

Under the tide of the era, not a single soul was spared from being swept along by its currents.

Chen Xing turned to look at Taotie.

The surface of Taotie's body resembled a shattered eggshell.

Layer upon layer of leather peeled away, and its aura continued to rise...

New skin grew out from underneath the worn leather.

Taotie howled at its master, describing its changes; it felt like its physical strength had become slightly stronger.

It seemed to have broken a limit and obtained a slight enhancement.

If this was as far as Taotie could evolve, it might still be a considerable opportunity for it.

...

Not far from Jiuzhou University, in the wilderness beyond, two youths walked one behind the other through the wilds.

"Brother Qing, shall we not continue to lure Chen Xing out with us?"

Liu Qing's face turned grim, "I suspect he might have heard something and probably won't go with us."

Some of the information he provided this time was true. If Chen Xing investigated, he would surely get affirmative answers, but still, he hadn't sought him out after several days.

This could only mean that there was a high likelihood of exposure, and even if not, he was no longer willing to wait.

In a few more days, there would be no chance to run!

This time, to gain a foothold in Fentian Giant City, the Liu Family had resorted to all sorts of schemes, not only deceiving Chen Xing.

To trick valuable targets out of Great Xia's territory was part of the credits owed to the Liu Family for obtaining status in Fentian Giant City.

Unfortunately, someone was too cunning to be fooled.

"Brother Qing, there's an anomaly tonight. Why don't we stop and absorb some moonlight? If we miss this chance, who knows when we'll encounter it again?" The young man beside him hesitated.

Liu Qing's expression darkened.

He glanced at his younger brother. If it weren't for the fact that his own brother had always been obedient, he definitely wouldn't have brought this fool along on the road.

"Shut up. While they're all absorbing the moonlight, let's head to the family rendezvous point." As Liu Qing spoke, he scattered some powder behind him.

The powder could disrupt the keen sense of smell of the Beast Tamings.

After traveling some distance, intense wind sounds came from the sky behind them, along with the sound of flapping wings.

A mocking voice came from overhead, and when Liu Qing looked up and recognized the person above, his complexion changed.

"Two little mice, quite good at running." Ming Ziyi rode atop a black and white Xuan Luan, "Did you think that sprinkling some deodorant powder would cover your tracks? Don't you know who sells all the deodorant powder on the market?"

Liu Qing turned deathly pale at these words.

"Take these two back! Apart from them, there are some other rats."

At Ming Ziyi's gesture, two members of the Jin Ye Guard imprisoned Liu Qing and Liu Dian and put restraining magic cuffs on them.

At night, the entire Jin Ye Guard was bustling, entering the final phase of the crackdown against the influential families who had colluded from within. Some were killed outright, while others were brought back for severe torture to extract relevant intelligence.

Once within the Jin Ye Guard, they were lambs to be slaughtered—every last drop of oil was to be squeezed out!

In an interrogation room, upon seeing Qin Xuan enter, the interrogating Jin Ye Guard hurriedly stood, "Chieftain Sir."

"Hmm, I just came to take a look." Qin Xuan said casually, "How's the interrogation going?"

"They have confessed. Here's a list of the targets they planned to deceive, related to the Dou Family of Blue Shadow City. They intended to use Titan's Heart to lure the targets away from Great Xia's domains."

"Blue Shadow City is under the command of Bibo Giant City, isn't it? Is it related to Bibo Giant City?"

"That's still uncertain. The intel he disclosed is limited. We can only confirm that there is a close collaboration between the Liu and Dou families, but he didn't reveal to what extent or the specific projects involved."

Qin Xuan glanced at Liu Dian and Liu Qing, who were bound to the rack. His gaze was icy, sending shivers down their spines. He walked slowly in front of them, looked down, and said indifferently, "It's better for you to disclose everything you know; otherwise, this is just the beginning."

His words made both men tremble. Liu Dian was so frightened he was beside himself, merely repeating, "I really told everything I know; I don't know the rest. You should go after my brother; he knows more about the family affairs than I do."

Qin Xuan frowned slightly; he was not satisfied with such answers. He turned to the interrogating Jin Ye Guard, "Continue until everything is out."

The atmosphere in the interrogation room tensed up once again. The Jin Ye Guard nodded, resuming the harsh interrogation.

Screams and cries for mercy once again echoed in the interrogation room.

Before long, the Jin Ye Guard in charge of the interrogation stepped outside the door, speaking in a low voice to Qin Xuan, "Sir, Liu Qing has revealed a significant piece of information: his father, Liu Guangquan, most likely has already set out to visit the Dou Family."

Upon hearing this, a subtle smile played across Qin Xuan's face. Speaking slowly with a teasing and profound tone, "Oh? This young master Liu is quite the filial son. Since he is so concerned about his father, how could I, known for my kindness, bear to keep them apart for long? Is Titan's Heart a bait, or does it actually exist?"

"Reporting to you, Sir, after interrogating the two of them, both claim it does exist."

...

The next day, Chen Xing had just finished a class in the morning, returning to his residence exhausted.

He took off his coat and was ready to rest for a bit when suddenly, the doorbell rang.

He opened the door with a puzzled look, only to see a familiar face—Qin Xuan.
