Celestial Beast Taming

Chapter 304: Chapter 185: Longya City’s Reaction

As long as the Soul Power of these Craftsman Apprentices wasn’t stronger than Tao En’s, they would have no way to break the confinement.

With that, the foundational team of Creators for the Soul Soil faction Zhong Yi was building was now completely assembled.

After a busy day, Zhong Yi went to bed early.

Within a few hours, news of Tao En recertifying his status as a Five-finger Creator had spread throughout the entire Xin Xia Federation.

In Longya City, many prominent figures heard the news, each consumed by different emotions.

Zhong Yi had anticipated this situation from the moment he healed Tao En.

Tao En had now joined his ranks and come to Starlight City.

Whatever plots and schemes the people back in Longya City came up with no longer concerned Zhong Yi.

With Tao En’s status as a Five-finger Peak Creator on full display, those who had previously targeted him for Cao Xing’an’s sake were now mostly consumed by regret and terror.

Even if someone were to harbor ill intentions, they probably wouldn’t dare to act on them.

With the Star Emperor, one of the Three Emperors, presiding over Starlight City, anyone with malicious intent would likely fail to achieve their goal and end up provoking him instead.

When Tao En’s soul was injured and he only had the abilities of a Three-finger Creator, how quickly did those who once flocked to his side disappear?

Now that Tao En was a Five-finger Peak Creator once more, connections would form around him just as swiftly.

In a short time, all the established and top-tier factions in Starlight City would take the initiative to visit and contact Tao En, hoping to build a good relationship with him.

After the Dragon Emperor left Longya City for the Royal Capital, Red Dragon, who hailed from the same clan, became Longya City’s top administrator.

Red Dragon was not particularly surprised that Tao En’s injured soul had recovered.

From the moment the Star Emperor announced his intention to bring Tao En to Starlight City, Red Dragon had guessed he had most likely found a way to heal Tao En’s soul injury.

Otherwise, there would have been no reason for even the Star Emperor to antagonize a Five-finger Peak Creator like Cao Xing’an over Tao En, who was only at the level of a Three-finger Creator.

Red Dragon simply hadn’t expected Tao En to recover so quickly and completely!

Upon hearing the news, Red Dragon fell silent for a long time, then let out a soft sigh.

The conflict between Tao En and Cao Xing’an was now irreconcilable.

Even if Tao En hadn’t left Longya City, his restoration as a Five-finger Peak Creator would have inevitably revived the days of his head-to-head conflict with Cao Xing’an.

When two tigers fight, one is bound to be injured!

Instead of the various factions in Longya City having to worry about choosing sides between the two Creators, it was better for everyone to just stand with Cao Xing’an, as they were now.

When Tao En had been a Five-finger Peak Creator, he had given far more to the Celestial Destiny Seekers of Longya City than Cao Xing’an.

However, Tao En distributed resources to these Celestial Destiny Seekers too evenly, unlike Cao Xing’an, who knew how to play the game.

He would give nearly half of his output to him!

Compared to Tao En, Cao Xing’an better served Red Dragon’s personal interests.

The moment he saw the news, Red Dragon thought of someone.

That person was Fu Mo!

Of all the Celestial Destiny Seekers in Longya City, who had Tao En treated the best?

It was definitely Fu Mo whom he favored the most. After all, Fu Mo’s father and Tao En had some history together.

And yet, Fu Mo had gone to the Celestial Destiny Society to lobby on Cao Xing’an’s behalf, trying to persuade the two Celestial Destiny Seekers from Starlight City to stop protecting Tao En.

Such an act was tantamount to driving Tao En to his death!

Back then, Fu Mo, who was solely focused on currying favor with Cao Xing’an, could never have imagined that Tao En’s injuries would completely heal in just a few days.

If Fu Mo hadn’t lobbied for Cao Xing’an and tried to cut off Tao En’s last hope of survival, then even if Fu Mo had done nothing for the grandfather and granddaughter over the years, Tao En would most likely still have helped him if he had ever asked for a favor in the future.

Fu Mo had made plans with a Celestial Destiny Seeker from Beihan City to jointly explore a Fourth Level Secret Realm the following week.

Ever since he had acted as a lobbyist for Cao Xing’an, Cao Xing’an had clearly been much warmer toward him in their recent interactions.

He had even finally agreed yesterday to a request he had previously denied.

Although it was just a custom order for ten bottles of Fifth Level Potions, Cao Xing’an was no longer making excuses and putting him off like before.

Fu Mo, who had just finished dinner, received the news. He checked several times to confirm if it was true.

He even sent a message to Guo Xing, who had already joined Starlight City. After receiving a definitive confirmation from him, Fu Mo went berserk, smashing everything in the living room of his mansion to smithereens.

This included several Mythical Tier Gem Golden Turtles that possessed three types of brilliant coloring.

Fu Mo never in his wildest dreams imagined that the day would come when Tao En’s soul injury could be healed!

When Tao En’s soul had first been injured, Fu Mo had paid more attention to it than anyone else.

Because of this, Fu Mo knew exactly how severe the injury to Tao En’s soul was.

It was precisely because Fu Mo believed there was absolutely no chance of Tao En’s injury ever recovering that, out of consideration for his own interests and due to Cao Xing’an’s repeated pressure, both overt and covert, Fu Mo—a Celestial Destiny Seeker—had chosen not to look after the grandfather and granddaughter duo, Tao En and Tao Niannian.

Had Fu Mo believed there was even the slightest possibility of Tao En’s soul recovering, his relationship with him would not have plummeted to rock bottom, and he would not have abandoned him.

During that time, Tao En had approached Fu Mo for help twice regarding matters concerning Tao Niannian.

Both times, Fu Mo had his Deputy make excuses and refused to even see Tao En.
