Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 595 - 536: Shadow Squad

The reason Zhao Wudi and the other person didn’t stop Chu Chen was, of course, due to their respective considerations.

Chu Chen now is like an unpolished jade. After all, his growth speed is too rapid, and he hasn’t experienced much; this event might help further mature his mind.

Although the process is somewhat cruel, it is also a necessary experience in the journey of growth.

After the three of them discussed for a while about how to deal with the upcoming attack of the Star Beasts, there was a sudden knock on the door of Zhao Wudi’s office.

"Come in."

As Zhao Wudi’s words fell, an elder clad in a black robe pushed open the door and entered.

The elder had graying hair, no wrinkles on his face, was full of vigor, and walked with the stride of a dragon or a tiger. His whole body exuded a dense aura of blood, as if he had emerged from a sea of corpses and blood. The elder’s aura was extremely thick, only slightly weaker than Zhao Wudi, suggesting his strength should be at the Peak of Emperor Level Four.

The elder glanced at Chu Chen and Long Batian and finally fixed his gaze on Zhao Wudi.

"Hierarch, did you call for me?" The elder’s tone was flat, devoid of any respect.

Zhao Wudi seemed not to notice the coldness in the other’s tone and replied with a smile, "Indeed, there is a rather tricky matter requiring your intervention this time." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Okay." The elder’s tone remained flat.

"This time you will lead Shadow to act alongside Chu Chen. He will be in charge of the operation." Zhao Wudi said with a smile.

"Understood." The elder replied with brevity.

"Alright, you all can leave now. I have other matters to attend to," Zhao Wudi nodded, seeming a bit tired.

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen and the others promptly exited the office.

"Sir, when shall we take action?" The elder asked in a deep voice.

"In thirty minutes, wait for me at the underground teleportation array."

"Yes."

The elder replied and immediately turned and left.

After the elder walked away, Chu Chen couldn’t help but ask, "Teacher, who is this elder?"

Long Batian replied in a deep voice, "This person is called Xuan Chen, everyone calls him Elder Xuan, he is the leader of the Shadow Group."

Chu Chen frowned upon hearing this and asked, "Shadow Group, what kind of organization is this, and why have I never heard of it?"

Long Batian smiled and said, "It’s only natural that you’ve never heard of them. Only those with the rank of Elder within the Alliance know about this. Their main job is to eliminate anyone who poses a threat to the Alliance, and only the Hierarch can mobilize them."

Chu Chen nodded upon hearing this and continued to ask, "Since they only obey the Hierarch, why were they not seen during the battle at Purple Luo Volcano?"

"Their duty is to eliminate anyone who poses a threat to the Alliance, but the power struggle between the Hierarch and Sun Wenshan is something they won’t get involved in."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen nodded in sudden realization and said, "Thank you, Teacher, for clearing this up. I have other matters to attend to and will take my leave."

"Alright, go ahead, and be careful in everything you do. If you encounter anything you can’t solve, you can come to me for help. Although your strength now surpasses mine, my experience far exceeds yours, and I can help you strategize," Long Batian said with a heavy pat on Chu Chen’s shoulder.

Chu Chen was deeply moved upon hearing this and replied, "Thank you, Teacher."

After bidding farewell to Long Batian, Chu Chen went directly to find Zhao Qizhu.

The other had just settled down, and Chu Chen came to find her this time with two main purposes.

First, to fulfill his promise and provide her with the opportunity to reach the Emperor Level.

Second, to invite her to help him manage the integration of cultivation resources. She is meticulous and experienced, far beyond him, and can assist him in handling many things.

Faced with Chu Chen’s solicitation, Zhao Qizhu did not hesitate and agreed immediately.

Chu Chen was naturally very pleased, and immediately exchanged for her the evolution formula to upgrade the Blue Fire Luan to Legendary Quality.

After receiving the formula, Zhao Qizhu was naturally overjoyed, but soon she showed a hint of frustration.

Upon questioning, Chu Chen learned that the materials required for the evolution formula were quite precious, and with her current status, she couldn’t possibly gather them.

Chu Chen wasn’t surprised by this at all since she had been in the Soul Suppressing Abyss for five years and hardly had the time to search for cultivation resources.

Chu Chen decided to go all the way as the good person, bringing her into the Alliance Treasure Vault.

But as he entered the vault, his expression immediately darkened.

Only about a thousand items were left in the vault, less than one-tenth of the total amount, and all of the items were of the Xuan Tier, with none of the Earth Tier items left.

Chu Chen could only inquire the vault’s keeper, and after the explanation, he learned that after Sun Wenshan took the position of Hierarch, he had taken fifty percent of the cultivation resources in the vault to quickly consolidate his position.

The remaining forty percent had been used to create Evolution Potions.

Upon learning all this, Chu Chen felt an overwhelming rage, but Sun Wenshan had already been killed by him, and the lost cultivation resources could not be recovered. The matter of integrating cultivation resources had to be prioritized.

"You don’t need to worry about the materials for the evolution formula, I will gather them for you within three days."

After reassuring Zhao Qizhu, he then led her towards the underground teleportation array, sending a message to Su Zixuan and Zhu Dashan along the way, inviting them to come and assist him.

The reason Chu Chen invited these three was that they were people he trusted.

This matter wasn’t easy to accomplish, and he would need a few trusted individuals by his side to assist him, allowing him to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

When Chu Chen arrived at the third underground level, he found that Xuan Chen had already arrived, and behind him were over a hundred individuals in black robes, presumably members of the Shadow Group.

Upon seeing Chu Chen, Xuan Chen hurried over, cupped his hands, and said, "Sir, the Shadow Group is fully assembled and ready to depart at any moment."

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Thank you for the hard work, Elder Xuan, I have three helpers on the way, they will be here soon." With that, he looked over the members of the Shadow Group.

Their bodies emitted a dense aura of bloodlust, formed from killing over a hundred people, with all of them being above the Emperor Level, and two being at the Emperor Level, besides Xuan Chen. The other person was a middle-aged man named Feng Yi, with a Realm of Emperor Level Two.

It must be said that the Shadow Group’s strength is exceptionally terrifying, as long as they don’t encounter Late-Stage Emperor Level experts, they can annihilate any power.

At this moment, Xuan Chen was also observing Chu Chen. This young man’s legend was renowned, especially for his recent actions.

A young Beast Master in his twenties, who defied the long-standing first person in the Alliance for decades, when he first heard this news, he thought it was pure fantasy, until Zhao Wudi took over the Alliance again, and he confirmed it was true.

The members of the Shadow Group were curiously assessing Chu Chen, but strict discipline held back their urge to discuss it.

Zhao Qizhu felt the stares, and her face immediately turned pale, seeing these people as devils from hell.

But when she looked at Chu Chen, she was astonished to find that his expression remained calm as if unaware of the intense gazes from the Shadow Group members.

After Chu Chen’s deeds spread, he became the idol of most Beast Masters. In this world, power is always respected and admired by others.

Even those who exist like killing machines, such as the Shadow Group, are no exception.
