Museum of Deadly Beasts-Chapter 758 - Rank 5 Qualification

Lin Jin hesitated and decided not to do it.

This Heaven’s Foundation Stone fragment was able to obtain a fate of its own, taking on a beast form and even cultivate, learning how to form blood contracts and use spells. This was such a rare occurrence.

Destroying it seemed like such a pity.

So why not keep it? Lin Jin could bring it along on his Nine-Heaven Realm trip, and it might be useful there.

He mentally decided this and the hybrid beast stood obediently by his side.

Lin Jin could control this hybrid beast without having to form a blood pact with it, gaining a half immortal rank fighter on his team.

Also, he had a unique bond with this creature that was much like a blood pact. The best way to describe it would be a relationship between a superior and a subordinate.

Everyone saw how Lin Jin easily resolved this issue without having to use violence. Especially the part where he obtained an overwhelming win without having to do anything, and this proved one point.

That rumors of him were true.

Lin Jin was an immortal after all, a supreme expert!

The citizens and soldiers of Jade Dragon City, including all ministers and officials, were suddenly calmed by this knowledge, feeling a boost in pride and confidence.

Those who didn’t belong to Jade Dragon Kingdom felt conflicted instead.

But the ones who felt most terrible and frightened right now were the prince and his group.

Wei Zhuang had died.

So randomly and with many grievances.

The prince had lost his biggest support, or rather, he had lost his only support. He felt awful now, not knowing what to say or do. However, being a prince, his mind worked quickly.

In such a situation, he knew he should forget about establishing influence or forming alliances. Whether or not he could leave this place alive was still unknown.

The prince then ordered his subordinates to seize Wei Zhuang’s brother and tie him up.

This was his stance.

The situation had changed. Still, Lin Jin had said upon arrival that he was here to arrest perpetrators.

Who did he mean?

Those who caused trouble and murdered citizens in Jade Dragon City.

It was Wei Zhuang’s brother who killed someone, ruined the inn, and caused such a huge commotion. So the prince’s response was reasonable.

He even went over and bowed humbly to say, “Appraiser Lin, this was the person who committed the murder. I’ve tried to stop him as best as I could, but I failed. He is now tied up and his fate will be in your hands.”

It felt as if he was ready for any punishment or execution that was to come his way.

Only, the one being punished or executed wasn’t him.

Wei Zhuang’s brother immediately started cursing upon hearing this. The other guards quickly stuffed a piece of rag in his mouth.

These guards used to be friendly with Wei Zhuang’s brother, they were even close enough to call each other brothers, and now they turned on each other so easily. This verified the saying that friends were meant to be betrayed.

Frustrated and angered, Wei Zhuang’s brother tried to command his pet beast to act, but the hybrid beast had subdued every beast below Rank 6 in the vicinity. The flaming snake couldn’t move at all.

Lin Jin waved and Jade Dragon’s guards brought the tied-up brute over.

The survivors who escaped from the inn verified that it was this person who started the fire.

With this, the case was with evidence and the murderer shall be brought to justice.

“Take him away. The city government shall have authority over the case.” Lin Jin waved and then looked at the flaming snake.

“This creature carries too much malicious energy and it’s a potential threat to others,” Lin Jin commented before shifting toward the flaming snake in a flash.

He pressed his palm down and…

Boom!

The flaming snake simply exploded and turned into ashes.

A Rank 3 rare beast was eliminated so easily. It looked easier than trampling an ant.

Although many people present could kill Rank 3 beasts with enough strength to spare, they couldn’t do it to this extent. Not even a single piece of the flaming snake was left after being killed.

This difference seemed insignificant, but no one else could do it.

While it seemed that the case was closed, there was still unfinished business. Lin Jin wouldn’t show the prince mercy either.

“The murderer is your subordinate. Isn’t it a little too late for you to apprehend him now?” Lin Jin interrogated. Forget a mere premium country’s prince, even if the emperor was here, Lin Jin would use the same tone on him.

The prince was frightened.

He now knew how foolish he had been to come all this way to Jade Dragon City and cause trouble. Sadly, the world had no cure for regrets.

Fortunately, he had a way with words and planned to explain himself out of this.

But Lin Jin wasn’t interested in hearing it.

“Incapable of controlling your subordinate is a form of incompetence. Or perhaps the murder had been your idea. No matter which, you won’t escape a charge. Guards, seize him. Have his emperor redeem him in person. Do not release him until his emperor comes,” Lin Jin instructed casually, startling the prince.

He was in the midst of contending with his country’s emperor for the throne, so how could the latter possibly come to redeem him?

Wasn’t this just a death sentence?

No way.

Scared for his life, the prince fell to his knees to beg for mercy, but he was instantly taken away by a few strong soldiers.

None of the prince’s guards and subordinates made a sound.

They weren’t disloyal. It was just that the hybrid beast standing beside Lin Jin was just too powerful.

It was as if a tiger had a paw at their throats, any reckless movement might attract death. So how could they possibly move in a situation like this?

Lin Jin had had a premium country’s prince apprehended with just one sentence.

Also, it seemed like Lin Jin couldn’t be bothered to teach the man a lesson. After all, he had only killed a beast after coming here and didn’t actually do anything to anyone.

He was only acting on orders to arrest and interrogate.

Sadly, Wei Zhuang died because his body gave out, and Lin Jin couldn’t be blamed for that.

During the whole process, Lin Jin had shown absolute dominance. No one but him dared to speak a word, not even He Qian, and Lin Jin noticed that.

However, he had faith that He Qian didn’t mind it. Even if he did, Lin Jin couldn’t do anything about it.

In a few more days, Lin Jin would be traveling to the Nine-Heaven Realm in search of ways to help Xiao Huo advance to Rank 8. Unlike other places, Lin Jin might need to spend more time there, so he had to make arrangements for things at home as best as he could.

It was better to get things right once and for all.

He was also aware that his reputation couldn’t protect Jade Dragon Kingdom for long. Reputation would eventually die away and by then, Jade Dragon still had to rely on itself.

However, now that Jade Dragon Kingdom was on its journey to success, Lin Jin wouldn’t mind helping out.

After this minor disturbance, the ceremony for Jade Dragon Kingdom’s promotion to premium country status officially began. It went on smoothly with no one objecting to its promotion. Quite the contrary, every premium country representative present had agreed unanimously.

With this, He Qian only needed to formally inform every continent that Jade Dragon Kingdom was now a premium country.

During the ceremony, there was another minor interruption. Many lecturers from Heavenly Spiral Academy came bearing an advancement certification.

On it were signatures of every beast appraiser in Heavenly Spiral Academy, including Shu Xiaolou’s.

Its contents were about promoting Lin Jin’s title to Rank 5 beast appraiser..
