The Master of Beasts

Chapter 976 - 343

Is the amount of martial arts resources for a hundred martial artists a lot?

For Yun Yan, it’s not much; these low-level resources are not valuable. Other than being a bit troublesome to collect, they’re not worth mentioning.

But for Dang Yue, it’s quite a bit, though still within his psychological tolerance.

After all, Dang Yue has held the position of Warehouse Master for hundreds of years, accumulating an astronomical amount of resources!

In a typical Dark Star organization, the strongest is usually the military commander, but in Mountain City, the Warehouse Master’s hidden strength surpasses that of the commander.

No.1 Arena, Office.

Chen Jiuge used Divine Sense to probe the spiritual materials in the Storage Ring, a look of surprise appearing on his face.

It’s filled with cultivation resources, and each type of resource amounts to a hundred pieces. The total value exceeds ten thousand Life Money—this is quite the gift!

"Yun Yan, what is this?"

Chen Jiuge was uncertain about Yun Yan’s intention.

"As a newly minted Vajra, you need to recruit your own Dark Hand Guard. These resources are Dark Star’s support for you!"

"Support?"

Chen Jiuge found it strange; in his four months of office, he hadn’t heard of this.

"Never mind, I’ll be straight with you!"

Yun Yan frowned in thought, decided to be frank, as the timing was right.

"I am the Vajra of Mountain City Dark Star, and besides that, I have another identity as an inspector at Dark Star Headquarters!"

"Dark Star Headquarters? Dark Star has a headquarters?"

Chen Jiuge was stunned; wasn’t Dark Star just a financial tool created by many great powers?

"Of course, Dark Star has a headquarters, you wouldn’t think Dark Star is just a puppet for those big powers!"

Yun Yan helplessly patted his forehead, saying: "Initially, Dark Star was a simple individual organization, its first president known as the Star of Dusk, was a Great Power."

"Because of the immense individual strength of the first president, Dark Star began a frenzied expansion."

"Since Dark Star is an underground power, sitting at the border of black and white, it didn’t strictly review personnel, so many small forces extended their influence into the organization. The president was indiscriminate, as long as it helped Dark Star expand, they turned a blind eye!"

"After Dark Star had a sizable influence in most of Dusk Realm, the president realized that the originally pure Dark Star was now mixed with countless other factions."

"The president then held a meeting with the high-ups of these big powers, resulting in the Dark Star we have today."

"I see, then Inspector, what brings you here...." Chen Jiuge cautiously asked.

"Of course, to send these useless money-grubbers back!"

Yun Yan sneered: "The current Dark Star is different from before, these leeches are unfit to occupy the position of Star Lord!"

"You are the one I chose."

"Ah, me?" Chen Jiuge pointed at himself, bewildered. Could someone of his cultivation really be chosen?

"Heh, others might not understand your history, but I have my suspicions!"

Yun Yan licked her rosy lips, a hint of danger in her clear eyes: "You’re not from Yellow Springs Realm, you must be a stowaway!"

"A Fifth Level Citizen, even directly given a Dusk Manor as a bonus, let me see."

"It must be Qin Lin, the one known for fair transactions among the Ten Halls Yama, who helped you stow away!"

"No need to deny, I am unlike the others in Mountain City. Even the so-called strongest Wu Family appears as rural bumpkins to me; they don’t know, but that doesn’t mean I don’t!"

"Inspector Wisdom Eye!" Chen Jiuge smiled wryly, clasping his hands.

Deny?

No, as Yun Yan said, if he truly came from the so-called Dark Star Headquarters, denying it would be pointless—better to admit it frankly.

At least for now, Yun Yan surely needs him, rather than being coy, it’s better to be straightforward.

"Wonderful!"

Yun Yan’s face showed a smile: "To get Qin Lin to sneak you over from the small world, the price you paid must not have been small!"

"At least in your world, you’re not an average person!"

Chen Jiuge gave an embarrassed smile, unsure of what to say.

"These resources were deducted from that old hag Dang Yue!"

"That old hag has stayed in Mountain City Dark Star too long, who knows how much hidden power he truly possesses."

Yun Yan’s face showed a trace of worry: "Mountain City has always been Ruishui River’s domain, I fear that old hag might have already pledged allegiance to Ruishui!"

"Though our Dark Star Headquarters doesn’t fear a small Ruishui, the headquarters is too far from here, we must be cautious!"

"But there’s an opportunity recently you can use to test them out!"

"Opportunity?"

Chen Jiuge didn’t understand, besides Yun Yan, he hadn’t interacted with other Vajras.

"Yes, you weren’t content to take the blame, and secretly used some small tricks, right?"

"Though small, the effects were great, Chong Yun the waste is angry, and plans to hand No.1 Arena to Dang Yue!"

"That old hag Dang Yue has long coveted the arena territory, this time he has legitimate reason to act, with someone else taking the fall, he won’t miss this chance!"

"Then what should I do?"

Chen Jiuge felt helpless, he really had no desire to meddle in this, but now it seemed he couldn’t avoid it.

"I haven’t even assembled my guard yet, my cultivation is low, if Dang Yue truly targets me, I fear I can’t resist!"

Chen Jiuge had only been a Vajra for four months, although he relied on strong Beast Taming Ability and some minor perks to secure footing, he did not have many trustworthy people in reality.
