Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 569 - 513: Purple Bamboo Valley

In the Soul Suppressing Abyss, the collapse of ruins caused many powerful Star Beasts to emerge from underground, among them were Emperor-level Star Beasts.

Facing the Emperor-level Star Beasts, Elder Bai and others could barely hold on.

As the number of Star Beasts increased, they gradually fell into a disadvantage, and without reinforcements, casualties would soon occur.

Elder Bai also realized the severity of the problem; he immediately handed over the command to Wang Chengyu, while he directed the Guardian Beasts to charge out of the Soul Suppressing Abyss.

Moments later, Elder Bai appeared before Chu Chen and quickly dismounted the Guardian Beast, respectfully saying, "My lord, there are several Emperor-level Star Beasts outside. We are no match for them. Shall we retreat for now and come back to slay them after recuperating?"

Hearing this, Chu Chen frowned slightly. The power of the collapse seemed more formidable than he had imagined; otherwise, so many Star Beasts wouldn’t have rushed out.

The ruins were fragments of a Secret Realm. Without the Soul Suppressing Pearl fortifying it with Earth Power, it would have long collapsed, and the power of its collapse was such that even Emperor-level Star Beasts couldn’t withstand it.

"No need. I will accompany you on this journey," he said, then leaped onto Unyielding’s back and charged towards the Soul Suppressing Abyss again.

Upon returning to the Soul Suppressing Abyss, Chu Chen found that many Guardian Beasts had been severely injured. Without delay, he swiftly summoned the Soul Suppressing Master, then wielded the Soul Suppressing Pearl, retracting the Soul Suppressing Power affecting the Beast Masters’ souls, and finally summoned Lei Yao and Nirvana again.

Though the two Beasts hadn’t fully recovered their strength, it was sufficient for this small-scale skirmish.

Lei Yao opened its mouth, and the blood on the ground, as if summoned by some force, surged towards it, visibly restoring its state.

Nirvana, seeing this, immediately summoned the Undead Army, surrounding the Star Beast horde.

After Wang Chengyu and others could utilize Soul Power, they spared no effort, continuously infusing it into the Guardian Beasts, instantly boosting their overall strength by thirty percent.

With Chu Chen as strong reinforcement, the battle concluded completely within a quarter of an hour.

In this battle, not a single one of Wang Chengyu and his people’s lives was lost, and this fight helped them regain the confidence they had lost in many years of not fighting.

For a while, everyone’s spirits were high, and cheers echoed throughout the Soul Suppressing Abyss.

Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn’t help but smile; he waved to the crowd and said, "Aside from the Emperor-level Star Beasts’ corpses, the rest you can distribute among yourselves."

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed; there were over two hundred Star Beast corpses, sixty percent of which were Emperor-level, and the remaining forty percent were Mid to Late Stage King-level.

The value of these corpses was enough for them to exchange for an entire year’s worth of Cultivation Resources.

"Long live the lord," someone shouted, and upon hearing this, the crowd joined in the acclaim.

Seeing this, Chu Chen was speechless for a while, letting the people celebrate for a moment before he signaled them to settle down, saying, "Gather the spoils, and we should be leaving."

Moments later, Chu Chen led the crowd flying out of the Soul Suppressing Abyss.

Zhao Qingzhu, seeing the crowd return, hurried over to Chu Chen and said, "Sect Leader, I wonder when you will return with me to the Divine Cult?"

Hearing this, Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "No rush, I still have matters to handle here. If everything goes smoothly, I’ll go with you in a month."

Zhao Qingzhu frowned upon hearing this and said, "A month later, very well, I’ll return first and prolong the time a bit; do not forget our agreement."

"Of course, after all, I am quite interested in that path to godhood."

"That would be best. Here is the Communication Bracelet; if you wish to come to the Divine Cult, use it to contact me." With that, she leaped onto the Guardian Beast’s back and flew into the distance.

After storing the Communication Bracelet, Chu Chen then inquired about Su Zixuan’s plan.

"Sister Zixuan, where are we headed next, do you have a plan?"

Upon hearing this, Su Zixuan hurriedly nodded and said, "Of course, before we came, Lord Long had already contacted us. If we find you, we will hand this Communication Bracelet over to you, and you can use it to contact him." With that, she took out a Communication Bracelet and handed it over.

Seeing this, Chu Chen was slightly stunned; it was the same Communication Bracelet he had used before entering the Soul Suppressing Abyss.

Chu Chen took the Communication Bracelet and immediately dialed Long Batian.

The call only rang once before it connected.

"Hello, is this Chu Chen?" A voice filled with excitement came from the other end.

"Master, it’s me."

"Good, good, so you’ve come out safely. Master didn’t go to see you, you’re not upset, are you?"

Chu Chen replied with a smile, "Of course not, with Li Mochen and three others guarding, wouldn’t it be like a sheep entering a tiger’s den if you came?"

Hearing this, Long Batian sighed and said, "Alas, had I been more powerful, I would have rescued you long ago."

"No need to blame yourself, Master. I’ve already escaped, and I’ve captured Li Mochen and the other three alive. A month later, I plan to use them to exchange for the Alliance Hierarch."

"What? You captured Li Mochen and the other three alive?"

"That’s correct."

"That’s a great thing, but the matter of exchanging hostages requires careful consideration, don’t rush."

Hearing this, Chu Chen frowned slightly and said, "Master, let’s discuss this later. I plan to find a safe place to rest for a while."

"That’s easy, come directly to me; it’s very safe here, and there’s no shortage of Cultivation Resources."

...

After they talked for a while longer, Chu Chen finally got an address from him: "Purple Bamboo Valley."

After inquiring about the location of Purple Bamboo Valley, Chu Chen showed a sudden realization.

Purple Bamboo Valley is located in the southern region of the Alliance. There are no human settlements within a thousand miles, and most Star Beasts in Purple Bamboo Valley are plant-type and won’t attack humans proactively, so few people know about it.

After planning the route, Chu Chen organized everyone to set off.

The Soul Suppressing Abyss is extremely far from Purple Bamboo Valley, and avoiding the cities would take several months.

Long Batian had already considered this problem; he had bribed several city guards overseeing Teleportation Arrays, so he just needed to disguise himself to easily reach Purple Bamboo Valley.

With the help of the Teleportation Array, it would take less than five days to arrive at Purple Bamboo Valley.

However, there was a tricky issue that Chu Chen still needed to resolve.

Namely, Bai Shi and the others. With so many experts appearing in one city simultaneously, it’s nearly impossible to avoid drawing attention. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Chu Chen gathered core members like Bai Shi to discuss their settlement strategies intensely.

Bai Shi and others, long trapped in the Soul Suppressing Abyss, now finally free, understandably wanted to enjoy life in the cities.

Even the usually reticent Shi Feng expressed a desire to visit the cities.

However, Wang Chengyu disagreed with this notion. Dispersing them into the cities posed exposure risks; whether they could restrain themselves was more crucial.

Nobody could predict if their mindset would change, and reintegrating into city life shouldn’t be rushed. The best course would be for them to survive in the wild for some time, gradually assimilating into city life later.

This would not only prevent exposure risks but help them maintain self-control as well.
