Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 597 - 538: Proclamation

After Xuan Chen left, Wu Yingxiong’s expression relaxed slightly. He looked at Chu Chen and tentatively asked, "Brother Chu, do you have any matters to attend to upon your return to Cyan Dragon City? If there’s anything you need, feel free to ask."

Hearing this, Chu Chen smiled and said, "Brother Wu, you guessed it right. This time I’m here to seek your cooperation."

Wu Yingxiong was immediately surprised and quickly asked, "Cooperation? What kind of cooperation are you referring to?"

"Your Wu Family has always wanted to grow stronger, hasn’t it? I’m here to give you that opportunity."

"Really?" Wu Yuanshan exclaimed.

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Indeed. With your Wu Family’s capabilities, you must already be aware of the situation at the front lines."

Upon hearing this, the excitement in Wu Yingxiong’s expression vanished instantly. He sighed deeply and said, "We’re aware of some of it. Humanity could be annihilated at any moment. Whether the family’s business can expand is no longer important."

Chu Chen nodded in agreement and said, "Exactly, what I want to do now is to ensure humanity survives this battle."

"How confident are you?" Wu Yingxiong asked seriously.

Chu Chen was silent for a moment before replying gravely, "If we had enough time, I’d be fifty percent confident. But now, I’m estimating only ten percent."

Wu Yingxiong looked as if the air had been let out of him; he slumped into his chair, murmuring, "Only ten percent?"

"Brother Wu, don’t be too pessimistic. I’m here to make a race against time."

"What do you mean?"

Chu Chen did not hold back and explained the plan regarding the Evolution Potion in detail.

Upon hearing this, Wu Yingxiong’s eyes lit up again, as if he had grasped a lifeline, and he quickly asked, "What do you intend to do? I will fully cooperate on behalf of the Wu Family."

"That’s great, integrating resources is extremely troublesome. I’ve calculated that the Alliance only has less than ten percent of Cultivation Resources, while most of the major powers hold over ninety percent. However, their resources are generally of low quality. To turn the tide of battle, we need high-rank resources," Chu Chen analyzed gravely.

Wu Yingxiong nodded, "Although I don’t understand military matters, our numbers are far inferior to the Star Beasts, so we can only rely on quality to win. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"The high-rank cultivation resources are mainly controlled by powerful forces and some individuals. If the Alliance asks those forces to turn in resources, they’ll only turn in basic ones; high-rank resources can only be obtained through exchange. This is where your auction house comes in."

Wu Yingxiong responded seriously, "The plan is feasible, but there are two difficulties in collecting all the resources from the strong. First, our auction house doesn’t have branches in other cities. Second, the Wu Family can’t provide so many high-rank resources."

Chu Chen nodded, "I’ve thought about this problem long ago. Our goal is high-rank cultivation resources, so the auction houses only need to be set up in medium-sized cities and above. According to my statistics, there are one hundred and thirty-two such cities. I will contact the local Beastmaster Association to forcibly acquire local auction houses. You just need to arrange staff for connection, if everything goes smoothly, in less than three days, your Wu Family auction house will be all over the Alliance."

Wu Yingxiong’s eyes brightened suddenly, but then a wry smile appeared.

Generations of the Wu Family have longed to spread auction houses throughout the Alliance, but never imagined that this wish would suddenly come true. Yet, humanity’s current predicament is extremely precarious; it’s merely a fleeting moment in his view.

Seeing this, Chu Chen knew what he was thinking and immediately comforted him with a smile, "Brother Wu, you can view this as a big gamble. If we survive this battle or even win, your Wu Family will become the biggest force besides the Alliance. Moreover, I can assure you that as long as I’m alive, no one will dare to touch your Wu Family."

Wu Yingxiong nodded thoughtfully, with no substantial emotional change. He clearly did not take it to heart.

Seeing this, Chu Chen did not continue to dwell on it, but shifted the topic and said seriously, "I’ll contact the Alliance Hierarch now. Meanwhile, you should prepare as soon as possible. If nothing goes wrong, your Wu Family auction house will be known throughout the Alliance by tomorrow."

Without any hesitation, Wu Yingxiong replied immediately, "Rest assured, I will not let your efforts be in vain."

"That’s great. If you encounter any problems, feel free to reach out to me."

After discussing some specific details, Chu Chen left the Wu Family auction house with his team.

After leaving the auction house, Chu Chen headed toward the location of the Cyan Dragon Daoist School.

He planned to settle temporarily at the Cyan Dragon Daoist School and take the next steps once the publicity department delivered the message.

When they arrived at the Cyan Dragon Daoist School, they found Ying Wenjie waiting at the entrance.

"Hall Master Ying, long time no see," Chu Chen greeted with a smile.

Ying Wenjie nodded with a smile, "Indeed, it’s been a while. I didn’t expect you to grow so quickly; the old Hall Master truly had a discerning eye."

Ying Wenjie’s entire demeanor had changed dramatically. Previously, he had a cold aura, but now he was warm, showing a transition from darkness to light.

After a brief exchange, Ying Wenjie arranged accommodations for them at the Cyan Dragon Daoist School.

Upon reaching his residence, Chu Chen immediately contacted Zhao Wudi and recounted his collaboration with the Wu Family in detail.

Zhao Wudi, as expected, was supportive and encouraged Chu Chen to proceed boldly.

After ending the communication, he immediately started cultivating; strength is the foundation, and this will never change under any circumstances.

As Chu Chen was cultivating, the Alliance’s publicity department also launched a comprehensive campaign, occupying all information channels.

The content of the broadcasts could be divided into three parts.

The first part informed everyone about the Star Beasts launching a full-scale attack and humanity’s current plight.

The second part announced a call for all capable individuals to become involved, with all Great Soul Masters heading to the front, and all matters organized by the Beastmaster Association.

The third part concerned the integration of resources, divided into two key points.

The first point is that the Beastmaster Association will issue resource submission lists to major forces.

The second point is that Wu Family auction houses will be established in all medium and above cities, allowing all high-rank Beast Masters to exchange their resources here to enhance their strength.

News broadcasts were repeated endlessly, and as it came from the Alliance publicity department, the entire Alliance was soon in an uproar.

All major forces were holding emergency meetings to discuss strategies for this event and the human side’s situation.

The Beastmaster Association dispatched a large number of personnel to draft resource submission lists and count those heading to reinforce the front lines.
