Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 480 - 51: The Fifth Pet Beast
Lin Jing didn’t hurry to meet this disciple of Half-Immortal Zhou and left him hanging, employing the super Immortal Technique "Delay Tactic".
As long as I haven’t accepted your decree in person, then I know nothing.
Lin Jing and his group continued to deplete their celestial resources.
"Steward Yan, what is the meaning of this, a day has passed, why hasn’t the new City Lord come to see me yet?"
The disciple of Half-Immortal Zhou angrily questioned Yan Yunshuang, who was in charge of delivering messages.
Yan Yunshuang sighed helplessly and said, "The demon beast responsible for guarding the new City Lord claims that the new City Lord is at a critical moment in seclusion and cannot be disturbed; otherwise, there’s a risk of fire deviation and losing his life or path!"
"Otherwise, let me prepare a cave mansion first, and Brother Yang can wait a while longer?"
"Seclusion..." Yang Lin squinted, knowing that this was Lin Jing’s strategy. As his master said, he’s up to no good, plotting against the power of the Immortal City.
Given that, he wouldn’t follow protocol and directly threw out the decree, "Then let’s not wait for him. The Vice Alliance Hierarch orders that since Lin Jing has been in the alliance for a short time and lacks understanding of Immortal City, from now on, I will serve as the new City Lord. Lin Jing has contributed to defending the city and will temporarily be the Vice City Lord. After leaving the Source Realm, the alliance will personally reward him with celestial fate!"
"Steward Yan, I now wish to issue a new City Lord’s decree, to stop resurrecting the fallen cultivators and take stock of the Immortal City’s treasury resources!" Yang Lin immediately ordered Steward Yan.
However, what awaited him was a sentence that almost made him cough up blood.
Yan Yunshuang sighed, "City Lord Yang, you are too late. The resources in the treasury have already been completely emptied by the previous City Lord Lin Jing; there’s not even a single low-grade Spirit Stone left."
Spurt.
Yang Lin almost did cough up blood. How long has it been, and it’s really all been emptied?
Beast!
Ravenous ambitions!
If all the Immortal Treasury resources are gone, there’s no point in removing Lin Jing from the position of City Lord.
"In such a short time, even if the treasury was emptied, the resources must still be around. Find the Mingtu Lady to stop her from continuing the resurrection and recover the resources!" Yang Lin couldn’t help but say.
"City Lord... I’m afraid I’m powerless." Yan Yunshuang spread his hands, "Resurrecting the fallen geniuses was the command of the previous City Lord. Although he’s no longer the City Lord, these matters should be decided between the two of you."
"Stopping the resurrection of the fallen geniuses in the Immortal City, I really don’t want to be the villain."
Yan Yunshuang was truly unwilling to get involved in the conflict between the new and the old City Lord. To become the villain stopping the resurrection plan? He wasn’t that foolish.
After giving a cupped fist salute to Yang Lin, Yan Yunshuang withdrew directly, leaving it to the new City Lord Yang Lin to stop it if he wanted.
"Damn it..."
Watching Yan Yunshuang’s retreating figure, Yang Lin was so angry his teeth itched; the master of the Steward Hall dared not listen to him, this new City Lord.
Negotiating with Lin Jing?
What a joke.
Yang Lin looked toward Lin Jing’s cave mansion. Lin Jing’s Pet Beast had already said Lin Jing was in closed-door life and death seclusion, and forcibly disturbing him could lead to fire deviation and demise.
Even though he knew it was nonsense and fake, the words had been spoken, and forcibly calling Lin Jing out would mean attempting to harm a cultivator who had just contributed to the Immortal City.
As for the reason for forcefully calling out Lin Jing...to rescind his order, forbidding the resurrection of the fallen geniuses.
Once that spread, a large portion of the alliance’s geniuses would undoubtedly stand against him, making his role as City Lord even harder.
"What am I going to do...?"
Yang Lin was momentarily frozen in place. Even though he had his master’s decree, upon entering the Source Realm, he found this matter too complicated, too challenging.
This scoundrel placed himself on the moral high ground, leaving him at a loss where to start!!
Oh no, I shouldn’t have taken on this task recklessly just to please my master and get his attention!
......
In the blink of an eye, two years passed. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Every so often, Yang Lin went to check if Lin Jing had come out of seclusion.
Yet on Lin Jing’s side, there was no movement at all, always responded to by the Pine Leaf Mouse, saying the Beast Master was still in life and death seclusion.
And over those two years, every so often, some of the fallen alliance geniuses seemingly resurrected out of nowhere.
These resurrected geniuses were all very grateful for Lin Jing’s policies, while in comparison, they felt nothing toward Yang Lin, the new City Lord.
Even though Yang Lin was the disciple of Half-Immortal Zhou.
"Corruption isn’t a problem; the key is, once you embezzle, you have to do the work."
"When Senior Brother Li was the City Lord, he never used the Immortal Treasury resources to resurrect us. Brother Lin, though he might have embezzled quite a bit, indeed helped us - this is someone we can work with!"
"With Master Zhou’s disciple as City Lord, don’t mention help resurrecting us after we fall; we might even have to pay taxes on celestial essence that we fight tooth and nail to steal."
The alliance cultivators murmured below, and Yang Lin heard, his eyes reddening.
The master gave him three years to resolve this matter, and with only one year left, he genuinely didn’t know what to do.
"This Yang Lin is quite the docile one."
At the same time, Lin Jing continued observing the outside, always worrying that Yang Lin might act out of desperation, forcefully barging in to demand the treasury resources, or attack the Celestial Essence Cultivators, forcing him out of isolation.
But over two years of observation, Lin Jing found that this guy chose to spend two years sulking, merely slamming doors in anger in front of his cave, and doing nothing else.
He didn’t even successfully gather any confidants, and no one was willing to aid him in dealing with me.
So pathetic.
"That’s the downside of the righteous path." Lin Jing sighed, "Elder Mo Song was right. The Cultivation Alliance regards itself as the righteous path, causing Yang Lin to be so timid when trying to retrieve resources."
"If it were the Celestial Demon Sect, they would have barged in a long time ago."
Lin Jing chuckled, his gaze turning to the Cosmic Dao Formation Flag; he didn’t expect the actions of his incarnation to be so swift, successfully taking over the Dark Emperor’s remains in just two hundred years...
"This body is quite excellent..."
A nine-tailed fox formed from black mist emerged from the formation flag, and Lin Jing nodded, saying, "Indeed, come over and form a contract with me."
"The Beast Taming Sect has a Secret Technique that can enhance Pet Beast bloodlines. The original technique’s limit only enhanced to the ’King Level Bloodline’, which was rather weak, but after two years of improvements, it can be activated with celestial energy, significantly raising the limit. The Pine Leaf Mouse and Dragon Carp’s bloodlines have nearly reached the Immortal level. You should give it a try too, see if you can strengthen you into a Pet Beast and perfect your demon bloodline..."
Who says demon bloodlines must rely on possession to improve?
If a demon becomes a Pet Beast, using the technique to enhance Pet Beasts is effectively strengthening demon bloodlines, right!
"Alright then." The Incarnation fell into thought, ultimately unable to escape becoming a Pet Beast.
"Lin Jing, come out. I know you can hear me. Recovering the Immortal Treasury resources is my master Half-Immortal Zhou’s command. You’ve embezzled so many resources and refuse to follow orders; aren’t you afraid of my master’s wrath upon you?"
"Why is he here yelling again." Lin Jing sighed as he was about to contract the Incarnation, this person is truly stubborn.
