Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

As dusk fell, a blood-red moon hung slantingly in the sky, casting a hazy light that lightly brushed the streets.

In fact, the moon wasn't originally blood-red in color. Qin Feng once heard from his master, Ning Wuxu, that it appeared this way because the color of the world's barriers was such. When viewed from within the world, both the sun and the moon seemed blood-tinted, even their light carried the hue of blood red.

Dim lights began to flicker in the shops lining the streets. Because the demon clan had a severe class divide, once night fell, only upper demons would walk about at will. The lower demons dared not venture out easily, so there were not many figures moving about on the streets.

A demon bat, the size of a fist, took flight with outstretched wings, soaring toward the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

On the street, a figure silently slipped into the shadow beneath a house, then merged into the darkness, leaving no trace to be seen.

In a two-story house with a garden, not far from the City Lord's Mansion, lights shone in a room.

The light within outlined the graceful shape of the lady of the house upon the window, stirring the imagination.

However, this area was home to important figures under the command of the Lord City Lord, so no trifling demon would dare cause a commotion here or they'd risk death, and it would be a death in vain.

After all, which of the demons residing here would be easy to bully?

Tap tap…

A soft knocking sound was heard.

Outside the window, the demon bat opened its wings and gently tapped against the glass.

With a creaking sound, the window opened from the inside, and a slender, pale hand reached out, grabbing the demon bat and pulling it into the room by its small wings.

"Since you're here, why not show yourself? Do you want me to drag you out too?"

Li Miao Zhen smirked as she spoke to the shadow behind the bookshelf.

Then, with a light wave of her hand, a prohibition enveloped the entire room, ensuring that the conversation and any scents would not leak out.

"Hehe, senior sister is truly formidable, able to find my true body so quickly."

Qin Feng emerged from the shadow, separating himself from the Ruyi Golden Snake.

He had only recently integrated the Shadow Transformation Technique into his Lifebound Spiritual Beast and had not yet perfected this Divine Power. He could only use it with the aid of the Ruyi Golden Snake.

"Nonsense. I have plenty of methods to track you, unlike those demons."

Li Miao Zhen laughed proudly, then continued, "Your Shadow Transformation Divine Power isn't bad, merging into the shadow and emitting a faint aura. If you cultivate a more advanced Concealing Breath Technique, the effect of remaining hidden will be even better. But for now, it's sufficient for dealing with the ordinary demons. Even those warrior demons that can match a Golden Core Body Cultivator in combat power don't understand how to project their spiritual power outward. Only the mages set up magic traps that could potentially detect you."

"Senior sister, don't worry. I do have some experience in dealing with Demon Clan mages."

Qin Feng smiled, "In the battles before, I've slain quite a few Demon Clan mages. Before setting out this time, I also gathered information about their strategies from the captured mages."

"Good, as long as you're confident."

Li Miao Zhen saw his full confidence and decided not to dwell on the matter.

In her view, with Qin Feng's capabilities, handling ordinary mages should be rather easy for him; otherwise, he would not live up to his status as a True Disciple.

"Originally, I was somewhat worried about being inconvenient on my own, although I have Spiritual Beasts at my command, but when Spiritual Beasts act alone, there's a lot of uncertainty.

Moreover, once a Spiritual Beast is too far away, it is inconvenient to command, and accidents can easily occur. Now that you're here, it's perfect timing, as you've solved a big problem for me."

"What does Senior Sister plan to do?"

Qin Feng asked.

"The lord of Fiery Flame City is a highly greedy fellow. He insanely exploits the Lower Demon Clan to amass wealth for himself and is quite stingy with his subordinates. In fact, many of the Demon Clan have become dissatisfied with him; it's just that the Fiery Flame City Lord is so powerful, no one dares to rebel against him."

Li Miao Zhen smiled and said, "However, it is precisely because of the Fiery Flame City Lord's greed that he has amassed a considerable amount of resources.

During the time I infiltrated his ranks, I made acquaintances with quite a few of the Demon Clan and have learned about the layout of the City Lord Mansion. Apart from the treasure vault of the City Lord Mansion, I also found out that there should be a secret treasure room, where the treasures are relatively more valuable.

To gain the favor of those Demon Clan for information, I've really had a hard time these days. The Demon Clan's requirements for food are just too low. When at the City Lord Mansion it wasn't too bad, but once we left the mansion, eating that half-cooked roast meat every day, I almost threw up."

Hearing this, Qin Feng suddenly remembered the enchanting witch at the tavern earlier, who had served him that roast meat with a big chunk of raw hide.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but snicker.

Listening to his schadenfreude laughter, Li Miao Zhen rolled her pretty eyes then continued her complaints, "Eating inferior food is one thing, but there were also quite a few jerks who kept circling me every day, forcing me to teach them a lesson. However, in order to gather information, I couldn't really fall out with them, which was truly exhausting.

In two days, the Fiery Flame City Lord will have to visit the Demon God Palace. I was planning to make my move then, but when the time comes, I might have to sacrifice one or two Spiritual Beasts to lure away the powerhouses left in Fiery Flame, which is such a pity."

Li Miao Zhen looked at Qin Feng with a teasing smile, "So you see, you are quite lucky to be able to reap the benefits as soon as you arrive."

For some reason, upon hearing her mention of reaping benefits, Qin Feng's eyes involuntarily slid down from her gorgeous face a bit, resting on her full chest that resembled juicy peaches.

If only… Thump!

Before he could finish his thought, Li Miao Zhen had already smashed her Demon Bat onto his head.

The Demon Bat's body was soft and should not have had any killing power, but Li Miao Zhen wrapped a layer of Geng Metal Energy around it. Suddenly, the fist-sized Demon Bat became as hard as an iron lump, hitting him so hard that stars appeared before his eyes and a large lump swelled on his forehead.

Qin Feng cried out in pain, "Senior Sister, do you have to hit so hard?"

"Hmph."

Li Miao Zhen beckoned with her hand, summoning a bright red cloak from a nearby wooden rack. Before Qin Feng could open his eyes to see her, she covered the revealing spring light at her chest with the cloak.

With a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, she scolded, "If you dare have such disruptive thoughts again, I'll beat you to a pulp."

Even though her character was forthright, she was a woman after all, and could not stand being ogled so by her fellow Sect Brother.

"How can you blame me?"

Qin Feng cried out innocently, "Senior Sister, you know you're a great beauty, yet you appear before me dressed like this. Any man would take a second look.

Besides, it's not like I did it on purpose, you just happened to be right in front of me, and a mere glance would suffice..."

"Are you still talking?"

Li Miao Zhen was so angry that she almost drew her sword to harshly discipline this sly junior brother who tried to act coy after taking advantage.

If it were at the mountain gate, she definitely wouldn't dress like this. Although the Beast Taming Sect is located in the Southern Domain and is different from the Five Poisons Sect, the education they've received from a young age made them more conservative in their dressing and behavior.

It's only because she has infiltrated the Demon Clan that she had no choice but to wear the armor of a female warrior of the Demon Clan.

Actually, her armor is already considered quite conservative among the female warriors. Some more uninhibited witches wear breastplates that can barely cover the two key points—now that would be called revealing.

She thought that if this stinky kid saw those female members of the Demon Clan, his eyes would probably pop out of his head.

Of course, the current armor was the most revealing she could tolerate. If she had to dress like the other witches, she would rather disguise herself as a male member of the Demon Clan.

Qin Feng quieted down.

Li Miao Zhen, bundled up tightly and glaring fiercely at him, was key. Moreover, her hand was already resting on the hilt of the sword at her waist. It wasn't possible for him to remain flippant.

Otherwise, if he dared to look at her with inappropriate eyes or say any indecent words, he would definitely be viciously beaten by Li Miao Zhen and end up with a lump on his head.

"Cough..."

Qin Feng cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject, "Senior Sister, we better talk about serious matters. How do you want this junior brother to coordinate with you?"

Li Miao Zhen saw that he had become obedient and reluctantly moved her hand away from her sword, "It's actually simple. Thirty miles outside Fiery Flame City, there's a Demon Crystal Mine of pretty good quality, which also happens to be the main source of income for Fiery Flame City.

Today we left the city because a Fierce Bear broke in, killing quite a few of the guards protecting the mine.

The site often attracts Demon Beasts due to the rich elemental energies, plotting to take over the mine.

There are currently three powerhouses stationed at the Demon Crystal Mine: two equivalent to Golden Core Realm Body Refining Cultivators from the Demon Clan and one Basic Level Magic Guide Master.

In two days, when the Fiery Flame City Lord goes to visit the Demon God, you will secretly attack and kill those three powerhouses. Then let one or two guards return to the city for help."

"Is it that simple?"

Qin Feng asked skeptically, "If it's just this, Senior Sister could easily do it herself, so why do you need this junior brother's help?"

"Of course, it's not that simple."

Li Miao Zhen said, "After killing those Demon Clan powerhouses, remember to set some traps in the mine. I will follow the city's rescuers, and the two of us will join forces to slay those who come to the rescue.

Then, I'll pretend to be injured and break through to return to the city for reinforcements. After leading more of the city's forces away, the remaining powerhouses in the City Lord Mansion will be few. With a surprise attack from both of us, we should be able to take them out. This will ensure no one can stop us from opening the treasure vault and taking the treasures."

Qin Feng nodded, "Senior Sister, your strategy is simple but very effective. Alright, just tell me the exact location of the Demon Crystal Mine outside the city, and I promise to handle it properly."

Li Miao Zhen gave him a sideways look, "Calling such a flawless plan simple; how much do you look down on my intelligence? Or are you really considering my White Tiger Lineage to be idiots?"

"Of course not."

Qin Feng quickly denied, absolutely unwilling to hesitate at this moment, or else he'd definitely be remembered unfavorably by his senior sister, "How could that be? In my heart, Senior Sister has always been supremely intelligent, gracious, and full of schemes—so full of... Ow!"

"Shut up!"

Li Miao Zhen, annoyed, threw the Demon Bat for the second time, creating another lump on his forehead, which made it quite symmetrical.

Qin Feng winced, not expecting his flattery to backfire so badly.

Still, seeing those eyes of Li Miao Zhen's that seemed ready to shoot fire, he decided it was better to just keep quiet.

He stopped speaking and quietly took out a bottle of Snow Toad Spirit Marrow Ointment from his Storage Bag to apply to the two large lumps on his forehead.

Then, the lumps visibly shrank at a visible rate and disappeared.

Li Miao Zhen couldn't help but laugh out loud at this sight.

"Hehe..."

Qin Feng laughed nervously, "Senior Sister, it's getting late, and I don't have a place to stay in the city. Would it be too much to ask for you to shelter me for one night?"

"Get lost!"

"Just one night."

"No."

"But you can't just watch your junior brother sleep on the streets, can you?"

Li Miao Zhen said, "You could go and take over someone else's residence in the clan. As long as you show your strength, no one will trouble you."

While it was rare for anyone in the city to do such a thing, if it actually happened, no one would stand up for the weaker members of the Demon Clan.

"I'm trying to keep a low profile to avoid drawing the Demon Clan's attention these next two days. It would be better to avoid spoiling our big plans."

Qin Feng moved his chair forward with a grin, "Just one night. I'll leave tomorrow morning."

"Just one night?"

"If Senior Sister feels it's too much, two nights would also work since we can't take action until the day after tomorrow at the earliest."

Li Miao Zhen realized she couldn't give this guy any leeway; otherwise, he would take an inch and want a mile.

"Go downstairs yourself; you're not allowed to come up, or else I'll cut you."

At that, Qin Feng shuddered, "Don't worry, don't worry, I definitely won't come up and disturb Senior Sister tonight."
