Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 473 - 458: Ambush (Part 1)

After a good while, Li Cunxu remembered what he had dreamed of.

He dreamed that the old president told him to make a big fuss, and the old president would cover for him.

...

Time goes back three years.

The life plates of Chun Yufan and the three others shattered, and the Four Seasons Clan united to form an investigation team to look into the cause of their deaths.

However, the traces at the place where they died were completely destroyed, and even using time reversal skills couldn’t uncover the truth.

One team member said, "Leader, the murderer is too cautious; all traces were thoroughly erased."

Team leader Dong Hanshuang said with a cold face, "No need to investigate further, I’ve already identified the murderer."

The team member asked, "Who?"

Dong Hanshuang said, "The four of them all received the family task to ’kill Li Cunxu,’ yet now Li Cunxu is alive and well, and they’re dead. Who else could the murderer be but Li Cunxu?"

The team member asked, "Leader, how can you confirm Li Cunxu is still alive and well?"

Dong Hanshuang said, "Foolish, if you want to confirm whether Li Cunxu is alive, can’t you just check the King List?"

The King List records all the titles condensed in the world.

Dong Hanshuang glanced at it and saw that the title of the Azure Heaven King was still there, thus knowing Li Cunxu was alive.

After all, once a person dies, their title disappears from the King List.

The investigation results were reported to the family’s higher-ups, and in less than a day, the four top families ordered that the temporarily formed investigation team be transformed into a kill squad targeting Li Cunxu.

"Being the leader of the kill squad is fine, but I need some Venerable Kings to assist me. Li Cunxu was able to retaliate against four peak kings like Chun Yufan, such an enemy is no ordinary opponent, heavyweights like Venerable Kings must act," said Dong Hanshuang.

From its creation, the kill squad faced challenges.

They waited one month, two months, three months... but still, Li Cunxu did not appear.

This long wait made everyone in the kill squad somewhat restless.

One of the impatient Venerable King Strong Persons, King Beng, said, "Has Li Cunxu gone into hiding after causing a great trouble? Will he stay hidden forever? Are we really going to wait like this? What if we wait ten years, and Li Cunxu never shows up?"

Dong Hanshuang also felt that waiting like this wasn’t ideal, as it wasted valuable training time, so she asked the family if they could temporarily disband the kill squad and reorganize it once Li Cunxu made an appearance.

The family’s response was that the kill squad must not disband until Li Cunxu is killed.

King Beng said to Dong Hanshuang, "Niece Hanshuang, everyone at home says you are as shrewd as a demon, your mind is the sharpest, do you have a way to find the hiding Li Cunxu and not waste our precious training time?"

The Venerable Kings and kings of the kill squad all agreed.

In Hidden Clan families, each family basically has a treasure land called the Land of Spirit, filled with intense spiritual laws, making progress in spiritual laws twice as effective with half the effort when practicing inside.

Having adapted to the rapid growth of spiritual laws in the Land of Spirit, training slowly outside made these Venerable King kings very uncomfortable.

Dong Hanshuang lowered her head in thought, gazed at the shimmering sea, and then inspiration struck her. She looked up to the kings in the squad and said, "Find out why Li Cunxu is wandering in the West Sea? Investigate what happened before Li Cunxu came to the West Sea."

King Beng looked pleased, "Niece Hanshuang, have you discovered something?"

Dong Hanshuang said, "Li Cunxu is both taking a yacht and a submarine, wandering aimlessly in the West Sea. I suspect he is looking for something there. If we can find what he’s searching for before he does, we might be able to use it to lure him out."

"You indeed have ways, Niece Hanshuang. But how can we know what Li Cunxu is looking for? And could it be that Li Cunxu found what he sought and left the West Sea, disappearing without a trace?"

King Beng praised her but then furrowed his brows.

Dong Hanshuang sighed and said, "Uncle Beng, I’m not an omniscient god, and I don’t know for sure. I can only analyze from clues how to possibly draw Li Cunxu out." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

After a while, the squad members handed the investigation report on Li Cunxu’s activities before coming to the West Sea to Dong Hanshuang.

From the voluminous reports, Dong Hanshuang noticed a line in small print.

When Li Cunxu bought a yacht in a city on the West Coast, he asked the owner for a map marked with islands.

Dong Hanshuang squinted her somewhat cool and elegant phoenix eyes and said, "If my instincts are correct, Li Cunxu came to the West Sea looking for an island, which must be hidden, otherwise he wouldn’t have been unable to find it."

"You all go to the West Sea and search for a hidden island, once found, report back to me."

Dong Hanshuang instructed the kings in the squad.

A group of kings began searching for a hidden island in the West Sea.

For ordinary kings, finding a hidden island in the vast ocean is as hard as climbing to the sky, but they are different, being from the Hidden Clan families, and they borrowed tools from their families that can see through concealment techniques.

A month later, the squad found five hidden islands in the West Sea and reported the intelligence gathered about the islands to Dong Hanshuang.

After reviewing these five sets of information, Dong Hanshuang pulled out one particular report.

"On this hidden island is the Hell Pet Transformation Research Institute, built by the Sima Family. I remember that Li Cunxu’s grandfather Li Shiji has an irreconcilable feud with King Jin of the Sima Family."

"Li Cunxu has an indirect connection to this island."

The more Dong Hanshuang examined it, the more she felt that what Li Cunxu was looking for in the West Sea was this island.

As to why Li Cunxu went to such lengths to find it, Dong Hanshuang was curious as well and planned to go up the island to inspect what was special about it.

"Someone, find an excuse to release the location of this island online."

"Meanwhile, call the Venerable King uncles, and let’s go to the island for an early ambush."

...

After being disconnected from the World of Ten Thousand Beasts for three years, Li Cunxu came out and watched some videos.

Suddenly, he came across a video by a critical blogger accusing the Sima Family of brutal transformation of Hell Pets.

This video was very controversial.

Some agreed with the blogger’s opinion.

Others felt the blogger was worrying too much about nothing, arguing that Hell Pets are devilish creatures, and transforming a group of demons is no big deal. Maybe the transformation could even turn them into kind pet beasts.

Those who sympathize with a group of demons might as well sympathize with those attacked by the Evil God Sect.

Then, Li Cunxu realized the blogger was bringing up old issues, as the brutal transformation of Hell Pets by the Sima Family was exposed three years ago.

Along with the exposure, the location of the Hell Pet Transformation Research Institute, which Li Cunxu had been tirelessly searching for in the West Sea, was also revealed.
