ch 545 - Angry Chastising; Ruining of the Martial Emperor 4 (1/2)

“Most importantly, Elder Ying of the Cheng’s is….”

An elderly shook his head lightly and carried on, “Martial monarch. Such was the power of a martial monarch. We couldn’t even summon up the desire to stand up against him while in front of him!”

“He was right. We must admit that this Elder Ying was very powerful.”

The emperor nodded, squinted his eyes, and said, “They are powerful, but we still must maintain the pride of the imperial family. Forefather, do you not have any ideas of what we could do?”

“We have only heard about rumors that Cheng Xiao Xiao is a beast tamer but none of us had seen it with our own eyes, is that correct?” asked the forefather.

“That is correct.” The emperor paused for a bit and asked, “Forefather. Do you intent to test the Cheng’s and see they had fooled…”

The emperor did not finish what he was saying. He was embarrassed to go on. After all, he was the one who gave the order to give Cheng Biyuan the title of Count Zhongyuan. If Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t truly a beast tamer, the emperor would be even more humiliated.

The emperor’s father also frowned and said, “From what we have learned so far, Cheng Xiao Xiao being a beast tamer should be true. After all, there are a lot of mystical beasts at Sacred Land Zhongyuan. They wouldn’t be able to keep so many mystical beasts under control if they don’t have a beast tamer.”

“Exactly. You said they have some 200 ~ 300 mystical beasts, right?” The emperor asked his son Feng Bucang.

Feng Bucang was the only one presence that had been to Sacred Land Zhongyuan and saw the mystical beasts in person.

Feng Bucang, who hadn’t had the opportunity to speak so far, nodded and said, “That estimation is probably on the low side. Sacred Land Zhongyuan had at least 100 – 200 of mystical cranes alone. That and they also deploy a lot of mystical beasts for surveillance. I am not sure how many there are, but I trust that there are at least 100 or so. Otherwise, they will not be able to cover the dozens of li around Sacred Land Zhongyuan.”
