“After all, these people are even stronger. If they can pass the assessment, it will save the family a lot of resources,” said the First Elder.

The young direct descendants of the Chen family widened their eyes. How did their usually kind uncle become so devilish?

“That makes sense. Let’s do as the First Elder says.” Chen Yang nodded.

It seemed that he was still a little kind. Look at the First Elder, he directly arranged something for everyone.

After listening to Chen Yang and the others’ conversation, the Giant Moth’s thoughts became active.

No matter how he thought about it, he felt that it made sense.

Well, it decided that after it returned, it would also promote the family school among the clansmen. With its gifts to the Chen family, it would not be too much to ask Chen Yang to give it advice.

…

“First Elder, what is the inheritance in your courtyard?” Other than Chen Yang, only Chen Xuan could pass the initial test.

As expected, when he heard Chen Yang’s question, Chen Xuan revealed a smug expression. “Fortunately, I didn’t disappoint you and obtained the inheritance in that courtyard.”

“Family Head, let me tell you. That courtyard is a martial arts inheritance left behind by a Ningdan Venerable Master. Just the elementary reward is an eighth-grade martial arts.”

The classification of martial arts was the same as the family classification. It was also the ninth rank as the lowest rank and the first rank as the highest rank.

“Not bad! I’ll use this eighth-grade martial arts as the annual assessment of the martial arts class. Those who fail will have all their rest time canceled next year.”

Hearing this, the young direct descendants all looked at Chen Xuan without hiding the resentment in their eyes.

Chen Xuan was also very puzzled. This decision was made by the Family Head. What did it have to do with me?

“Alright, let’s go back first. The next time we come, we’ll have to get serious.” After investigating this first round, Chen Yang decided to return.

However, before leaving, Chen Yang still had some questions for the giant moth. “Senior, do you know what the Life Law Array is?”

From the beginning, Chen Yang had been curious about this Life Law Array. After all, to be able to ensure that the demon beast eggs could hatch within 100,000 years, it must not be a simple array.

Hearing Chen Yang’s words, the giant moth opened its eyes in confusion. “Where did you hear about this Life Law Array?”

“A mechanical female voice in this inheritance told me that there’s a Life Law Array here,” Chen Yang said honestly.

When the giant moth heard this, it laughed loudly. “This Old Li really knows how to flatter himself. He actually dares to claim that a fake array built with the Life Law Jade is a Life Law Array!”

“Kid, this Life Law Array is the lifelong goal of countless array masters in the Brilliance Realm. How can it be set up so easily?”

“However, the array formation here does have some functions of the Life Law Array. For example, it can ensure that the demon beast egg can hatch every 100,000 years, but that’s all.”

“It’s useless for me to tell you anything else. You should focus on cultivating and quickly accept the inheritance here. That’s the right way.”

Chen Yang nodded. That was true. Who cared what the Life Law Array was? At this stage, it was more important to increase his strength.

Immediately, under Chen Yang’s lead, the group officially returned to Maple City.

In Maple City, looking at the Mystic Wind Wolf in the cage car, all the tourist merchants stopped.

“Am I seeing things? Is that a Demon General-level Mystic Wind Wolf?”

“Those with such an aura must be demon generals. The Chen family actually caught a demon general-level Mystic Wind Wolf?”

“I don’t think so. Look at the wounds left by many demon beasts on that Mystic Wind Wolf. I reckon that the Chen family was lucky enough to pick it up.”

“No matter how we obtained it, with the Mystic Wind Wolf, the Chen family’s strength will definitely rise. Maple City will also be more stable and more suitable for us to survive.”

After two days of traveling, Chen Yang and the others finally returned to Maple City.

The Chen family had deliberately placed the Mystic Wind Wolf in the cage to intimidate others.

As for the wounds on the Mystic Wind Wolf, Chen Yang had used dye to draw them on.

Although if one were to observe it carefully, he would definitely be able to discover that it was fake.

However, with the Chen family’s status in Maple City, how many people would dare to take a closer look?

“Family Head, through these merchants, I reckon that the other families will soon know that our Chen family has captured the Mystic Wind Wolf,” Chen Xuan said.

Looking at the various expressions on the merchants’ faces, Chen Yang revealed a satisfied smile. Let the news spread, the further the better.

Only then could the Mystic Wind Wolf be used to intimidate the other families.

Although Chen Xuan had broken through to the Genesis Realm, his natal beast was still at level one.

In addition, a Beast Tamer’s strength was all based on his beasts. To be honest, Chen Xuan was not enough to intimidate the other families.

With the Mystic Wind Wolf, the Chen family could be considered a qualified ninth-grade family.

Gongsun City, Gongsun family.

In less than a day, the news that the Chen family had captured a Demon General Mystic Wind Wolf was already on the Family Head’s table.

“Patriarch, what do you think we should do next?” Gongsun Miao looked at his patriarch.

“This is bad.” Gongsun Mang frowned, his expression ugly.

According to Gongsun Mang’s plan, he planned to wait for a period of time. After the influence of the Chen family’s offering of the Howling Moon Wolf passed, he would use thunderous methods to eliminate the Chen family.

But now, not only did the Chen family have Chen Xuan, who was at the Genesis Realm, but they also had another Demon General.

With such strength, even if the Gongsun family could win, it would probably be a tragic victory.

The remaining few ninth-grade aristocratic families were not benevolent families. Once the Gongsun family was harmed, these hungry wolves would probably attack them together.

At that time, even if they annexed the Chen family, it would only benefit the other families.

“Let the Chen family go first.” Gongsun Mang had no choice but to make this decision.

“Let the Chen family off?” Gongsun Miao revealed a look of disbelief. “Patriarch, it’s not like you don’t know the aptitude of the Chen family’s young master.”

“If we let the Chen family off, when that little Family Head grows up, the Gongsun family will be the unlucky one.”

Gongsun Mang glanced at Gongsun Miao. “How can I not know that that little Family Head is talented?”

“That’s a devil that was chosen by the Ningdan elder of the Beastmaster Sect just after he started cultivating. If it weren’t for the accident, that little Family Head would probably have already become a famous figure in the Beastmaster Sect.”

“But what can we do? At this moment, the Chen family has already become powerful. If we still want to attack, not only will the Chen family disappear, but the Gongsun family will also disappear!”

“Alas!”

When Gongsun Miao heard this, he sighed heavily. “If the Chen family hadn’t gotten lucky and obtained a Howling Moon Wolf from somewhere, Maple City would have been ours long ago.”

“Alright, don’t blame the heavens and the people. How can everything in the world be smooth sailing? Since the Chen family has already become powerful, we naturally have other ways to deal with it,” Gongsun Mang said.
