Chapter 441: Chapter 393 Isn’t that so?
Unlike those medium and small-sized families living in apartment buildings, a spacious manor is the standard for large families in the Inner City, which also serves as their public facade.
That night, the sporadic flashing of signal lights on the base of the Floating City was the only light in the sky, and the colorful and bustling nightlife of the Inner City had no effect on the manors of the North City District.
Each of these manors, occupying significant land or possessing their own hills, seemed to sever from the city streets, existing in a completely different world, carrying a sense of solemnity with a hint of historical sediment.
The Beast Taming noble family, by mastering animal taming and controlling the breeding industry, became a top family second only to the five Great Houses.
The Clan Leader with his fierce mane was also one of the rare World Breakers of the Inner City, and even had a Flame Pig King that was telepathically linked with him at the same level.
The family’s prestige was at its peak, and there were signs of surpassing the prominent families like the Dragon Lizards and Hundred Fruits.
Although there had been some setbacks in the newly developed zones recently, a lot of money invested resulted in significant losses as the young core of the next generation was killed, and more than half of their assets were damaged.
Fortunately, considering the power and face of his own family, the other party still found a step to climb down on, eventually selling back part of the shares and temporarily letting the matter rest.
And the recent attack by Gu Qiu that caused the family head to be gravely injured, although it did tarnish the family’s reputation.
But standing up for the entire faction and taking on Gu Qiu’s wrath, leading to his imprisonment by the Inspector, in turn brought great prestige to the Beast Taming noble family.
Within a detached residence in the Beast Taming family’s manor, the air was thick with the scent of medicinal herbs.
A husky-bodied pig-headed person with copper-toned skin was lying on a specially made waterbed, surrounded by various beauties who kept massaging the excess flesh on his body.

His three to four-meter frame made the massaging women seem quite petite by comparison; the waterbed appeared more like a cushion.
“Cough cough~ So he doesn’t even take the second son of the fox family seriously in this world?”
Gasping for breath, he picked up a pipe filled with medicinal incense, drawing the medicinal vapor into his body to alleviate the remnants of violent Qi-Blood in his lungs.
Gu Qiu, who had successfully blended Gang Qi and Battle Techniques and carved out his own path with these two basic abilities, was indeed terrifying.
Without his partner by his side, he nearly couldn’t withstand until the Inspector intervened.
He had thought this matter was almost settled, and with careful planning in the Abyss, it would certainly render him unable to leave the Evil Spirit World.
Yet unexpectedly, that wretched kid who killed his family’s pride had stirred up quite a bit of trouble over the matter again.
“Yes, he showed off his Domain directly at the Jin family’s place, probably the result of reaching a certain level in his Inner Power, and he disabled Qian Hao, who had the Gang Qi Crystallization, with just one hit…” the reporting pig-headed person related the entire situation accurately.
Qian Hao was no weakling, famous within the Inner City, and even a distinguished guest among the major families; many shady dealings often sought him out.
His talent, strength, and capability to handle affairs were top-notch, and he knew how to curry favor.
Yet unexpectedly, he faltered this time.
“His brother was hurt, that was really an undeserved disaster…”
It was unclear if by ‘undeserved disaster,’ Mane Fierce was referring to Tao Shi or Qian Hao.
“The second son of the fox family is rather brash in his actions.
If this matter is simply swallowed in silence, there must be some other reason…” Mane Fierce pondered with his fan-sized hand stroking his plump chin.
The five Great Houses had stood tall in the Inner City for many years without substitution, and aside from their ties to the Floating City, their own power was the primary reason.
Ordinarily, the ‘Eight-Armed Vajra’ had made a blunder; in the current world, there was even a chance to discipline him properly, to make him realize that this was not a place where he could act wildly.
As long as there was an appropriate excuse, the other party’s lack of strength meant he had no place to complain.
But unexpectedly, the second son of the fox family just swallowed the insult?
And afterwards, he even forced the newly sworn member of the Jin family to shamelessly display their family’s corpse in the hall?
There must be some unknown information behind this.
“You mean, after the second son of the fox family returned, they withdrew the original arrangements against the Chaoyang Society?
They don’t want to take part anymore?”
“Yes, their people have all been pulled back.”
What was originally a foregone conclusion, the withdrawal of the fox family should have been good news for the Beast Taming noble family, yet the situation now felt strangely eerie, which made Mane Fierce ruminate for a moment.
“In that case, we’ll present a gift tomorrow and visit that Tao Yu, reconnect with the goodwill from when we repurchased the shares before, and not let that connection break.”
Mane Fierce’s instinct told him that this matter might be related to that hot new kid from the outer city.
Although he realized that luck played a part in the accomplishments within the Inner Power System, the fact that the other party could grasp this fortune and rise with the tide meant he had strength!
Having already repurchased a share and confirmed that the other party was disinterested in meddling further, it seemed it was time to be more familiar with him now.
Being able to disable Qian Hao in one strike and already having mastered the Domain, this kid had the potential to become a World Breaker!
“Well, this…
since the Jin family suffered to target the Chaoyang Society, wouldn’t it be kind of inappropriate for us to do this?”
The pig-headed person below, evidently with some status, expressed his concerns.
True, the other party had strong combat capabilities in the Development Zone, but that was just because the Development Zone was still freshly developed; eventually reaching a bottleneck, they would still be surpassed by the children of the deeply rooted families.
In the current world, there wasn’t a need to hold the newcomer in such high regard, right?
It’s normal for someone to make rapid advances in strength due to a fortuitous event, but that doesn’t mean he can always maintain such a pace, and he will meet his bottleneck!
There are plenty who rise quickly to become a high-level partner due to good fortune and then spend their lives in vain.
“Hmph, if you are still so short-sighted, how can I rest easy handing over authority to you?”
Mane Fierce snorted coldly, seemingly dissatisfied with the other’s lack of vision.
“Regardless of what arrangements we intend to make, we must appease him on the surface.
We’ll say that since this matter started because of me, I should visit and comfort the injured.”
Ziong Lie’s words left the pig-headed man who was reporting unable to say more.
It’s a bit of a stretch, but one could argue that it was his own clan that sparked this whole affair, considering that Gu Qiu was captured here for violating taboos, which lead to a series of issues.
If Gu Qiu had not been captured, the Jin family members wouldn’t have been so brazen.
But that would be quite far-fetched.
To proactively pay a visit over such an unsubstantiated pretext seemed like giving too much credit to the other party.
However, since the clan leader had spoken, he could only nod in agreement.
“I understand.”
“You don’t understand!”
Ziong Lie glared at him, infuriated by his lack of competitiveness.

“Prepare defenses against his tactics and consult with the other clans to see what they think.
Regardless of what decisions are made, we must maintain stability outwardly.
Hmph, mastering a domain in such short time, taking down Qian Hao in one hit—who knows if he’s another Gu Qiu?”
While mastering the domain might be due to that inner power system, the ability to defeat Qian Hao, who had achieved Gang Qi Crystalization, undoubtedly required real strength!
The brutality of Gang Qi Crystalization was clear; once it was deployed, if someone without enough strength attacked, they could end up hurting themselves.
Even the possibility that this person was growing faster than Gu Qiu!
“Additionally, pay more attention to that inner power.
Check if our clan members can learn it.
Gaining early mastery of a domain is an extraordinary skill indeed.”
Ziong Lie, who had only just begun to dabble in the domain himself, showed a hint of sentimentality.
He had struggled for many years, facing numerous life-and-death battles, and had barely managed to integrate all his learning, achieving harmony, just enough to step into the threshold of domain control.
But that young man managed to achieve integration in just a little over a year—it was truly…
However, just at that moment, Ziong Lie suddenly felt a terrifying sensation over his entire body.
His domain-induced perception gave him an acute sense of extreme crisis.
This sense of crisis was stronger than any other, stronger than any he had ever experienced before!
“Roar~”
Ziong Lie howled as his body swelled, his formidable energy instantly killing all the maidservants who were massaging him.
Enduring the intense pain in his lungs, Ziong Lie wanted to push beyond the limits of a World Breaker to draw the attention of the Inspector.
Whether he’d be punished or not was beside the point—he needed to survive first!
But in the next instant, his eyes split open, and blood spurted from his pig eyes!
Then, at several spots—throat, neck, heart, spleen, liver, kidneys, and his spine behind—blood shot out as if he’d been struck by piercing blows simultaneously.
The instantaneous assault deflated Ziong Lie, who was puffing up with energy, like a punctured ball.
He was already seriously injured, and his life force rapidly declined.
Nevertheless, even with so many fatal injuries, Ziong Lie’s spirit fluctuated strongly, conveying his shock and anger in an instant as if he had spoken,
“Who are you, sir!
Do you realize this means war against a noble house!”
No voice answered him.
Only a dark figure leapt from the shadows and a Sharp Claw pressing on the top of his head.
Tao Yu had no confidence he could kill other World Breakers without alerting the Inspector.
World Breakers usually had a strong sense of crisis.
Even this injured pig-headed man noticed Tao Yu before he could get close, forcing him to use the Sword of the Spirit from a distance to find his enemy.
Although the target’s hastily erected spiritual defenses blocked many of his attacks, preventing a direct kill with the Sword of the Spirit, Tao Yu managed to interrupt the transformation.
Fortunately, as his own strength increased,
He didn’t need to use the minor three harmonies or the Yin-Yang Five Elements Divine Thunder, it was enough…
Crack~
The twice-deified Nine Yin Divine Claw, empowered by the enhancement of Sharp Claw and Claw Force, pierced through Ziong Lie’s skull.
Summoning his dense True Yuan with a thrust, the yin property of the Five Elements True Yuan burst forth from his fingers in claw-shaped beams, swiftly turning the pig-headed man’s insides to mush.
With a forceful shake of his palm, crack—
The skull cap was lifted off, and the mush spilled out.
“Pretty tough.”
Tao Yu pinched the skull cap without breaking it and decided against using his fingertip divine powers.
Instead, he swatted his palm, and his adhering True Yuan smashed the horrified white-skinned wild pig man dead.
What was that about ‘saying it was my doing when the time comes’?
Isn’t it obvious that it’s because of you?
Or are you planning to deny it?
“I’m no fool like Gu Qiu.”
Glancing at the bloodshed on the ground, Tao Yu took out his gasoline and began skillfully dousing the room.
So what if they figure out it was me who did the killing?
Killing a few in secret will calm them down.
If Gu Qiu had done this earlier, there wouldn’t have been so much trouble…
