Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 538 - 482: Underlying Currents Surge

Supported by ordinary gang members, the main force, including Suo Lei, limped towards the Yi-Character Prison, while the people from the Bai Shi Gang laughed maniacally behind them.

Seeing this, Chu Chen did not intervene but acted like a bystander.

The Bai Shi Gang had been oppressed by the Soul Locking Gang for more than ten years, and their grievances could not be appeased by just one victory.

Their current behavior was merely collecting some interest. There were many days ahead, and this debt could be slowly repaid.

The prison guards watching were also curious, wondering what had happened in these short two weeks.

"Hey, did you get some news in advance and set me up on purpose?"

"Hey, what are you talking about? You decided to bet with me yourself. Why are you trying to renege now?"

"Hmph, it’s just a Heavenly and Earthly Treasure of the Profound Rank, I wouldn’t renege over that. But why do you trust that kid so much?"

"I told you it’s intuition, do you believe it?"

"I don’t believe you at all."

"Boss, what martial arts did you use today? We haven’t seen it before." A skinny old man asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Bai Shi proudly said, "We have to thank Master Chu Chen for this. He taught us a set of body technique martial arts, which allowed us to hold our heads high."

Hearing this, Chu Chen smiled at everyone. Bai Shi did not disclose any information and gave all the credit to him.

Everyone looked at Chu Chen with grateful eyes upon hearing this.

"Master, could you also teach us this body technique? We want to take revenge and beat those bastards up ourselves."

Everyone agreed upon hearing this.

Chu Chen’s expression did not change at all upon hearing this, but he secretly sneered.

The old man in front of him was called Sun Weng, a strong person at the Late Stage King Level.

Chu Chen remembered him because he was on the suspicion list.

"Of course, it’s just an ordinary martial art. I’ll have Old Bai teach it to you later," Chu Chen said with a smile.

Everyone was naturally overjoyed upon hearing this, and cheers filled the air.

Old Bai and Shi Feng exchanged a meaningful look and shared a knowing smile.

They did not expect that their opponent’s spy would reveal themselves so quickly.

After making some noise, everyone returned to the prison.

When Chu Chen and the others returned to the prison, Old Bai and Shi Feng eagerly approached.

"Master, the inner spy has revealed themselves. What should we do next?" Shi Feng asked in a solemn voice.

Old Bai nodded continuously at the side.

Chu Chen stroked his chin in thought and said, "We need to plan this carefully and try to catch all the spies."

"Catch them all? You mean we have more than one spy in the Bai Shi Gang?" Shi Feng asked in surprise.

Chu Chen did not answer but focused his gaze on Old Bai.

Old Bai stared at the distant prison cells and said in a deep voice, "It is possible. Shi Fengzi, think carefully. Every time we got beaten, some people only suffered minor injuries. Most likely, they are the spies."

Upon hearing this, Shi Feng furrowed his brows tightly and tried hard to recall past events.

A moment later, Shi Feng suddenly opened his eyes and rapidly recited a few names.

Old Bai nodded upon hearing this. While Shi Feng was reminiscing, he also ran through his mind and then added a few more names.

Chu Chen silently remembered these names and then asked in a low voice, "Do you two have any strategies?"

Old Bai frowned in thought, while Shi Feng said in a deep voice, "In my opinion, we should stop teaching the Phantom Body Technique to others. Anyway, only a dozen of us have learned the Thousand Illusion Palm; it’s enough to deal with them."

Chu Chen shook his head upon hearing this and said, "No, from today’s battle, they must have realized that only a dozen of us have mastered the Phantom Body Technique. As long as Suo Lei isn’t a fool, he will definitely teach the Thousand Illusion Palm to ordinary gang members. After all, this palm technique has now been cracked, and keeping it to himself isn’t meaningful anymore."

Shi Feng pondered over this and nodded, "You’re right. But how do we root out the spies?"

Chu Chen tapped his fingers softly and said, "I have an idea."

Old Bai immediately stopped his thoughts and quickly asked, "What is the idea?"

"The Phantom Body Technique has eighteen styles. From today’s battle, only twelve styles are enough to counter the Thousand Illusion Palm. We can teach them a few styles and then make some adjustments to the movements."

"This plan is feasible, but how should we specifically proceed?" Shi Feng asked anxiously.

Chu Chen rubbed his chin and said, "We can tailor several moves for each of them. As long as people from the Soul Locking Gang use those same moves, we can identify the spies. But we need Old Bai’s help for this."

Old Bai smiled and replied, "This is easy; leave it to me. However, Suo Lei and the others aren’t fools. With different moves for each person, how will he take the bait?"

"Haha, Old Bai, you overthink it. Precisely because he is not a fool, he will take the bait. When teaching them, at least some moves must be the same, preferably the ones used in today’s battle. Suo Lei will definitely think we deliberately held back by splitting the moves, and I believe he will put the moves together himself."

"Makes sense. Don’t worry, Master. I’ll ensure he can’t tell the real from the fake."

Chu Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Don’t get too happy too soon. To succeed in this, we need one more condition."

Both of them showed curious expressions upon hearing this.

Chu Chen didn’t intend to keep them in suspense and said directly, "We need to beat them severely and push them to desperation; that way, they’ll more easily fall for it."

Upon hearing this, both of them burst into laughter.

Shi Feng clenched his fists, making a cracking sound, and said, "Don’t worry, Master. Leave it to me. I’ll beat Suo Lei every time I see him."

While the three were conspiring, Suo Lei in Cell Number One of the Yi-Character Prison was also racking his brains for a counter-strategy.

"Boss, that body technique martial art must have been brought in by that Chu Chen kid. Why don’t we ask the deputy warden for a martial art book too?" A bearded man suggested solemnly.

"Gangzi, do you think martial arts are like cabbages on the roadside? You can’t just get them by asking. Even if we could, we don’t know specifics about that martial art. If the martial art we obtain can’t counter their body technique, wouldn’t that be a waste? The urgent matter now is to break this body technique martial art."

In the Beast Taming Era, martial arts were niche. Most were passed down from ancient times, and very few have survived to this day. Finding a suitable martial art is not easier than finding an Earth-level Meditation Technique.

"Boss, haven’t we planted quite a few spies in the Bai Shi Gang? Maybe it’s time to activate them now."

"Activating them is easy, but their body technique martial art is only passed among the core members. Those spies are just ordinary members; getting them to come into contact with that body technique might not be easy."

"Then what do we do? We can’t just keep getting beaten."

"Hmph! Why the rush? It’s not impossible to get those spies in contact with the body technique martial art; it just requires some sacrifice."

Gangzi immediately asked, "What kind of sacrifice do we need to make?"

Suo Lei sighed and said, "Teach the Thousand Illusion Palm to all members. If the Bai Shi Gang wants to suppress us completely, they’ll also have to teach that body technique martial art to their members. Only then can the spies get in contact with it."

Gangzi stayed silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I guess that’s the only way. I’ll gather people now and pass down the Thousand Illusion Palm."
