In Chong Yan’s office, Ding Jie’s eyes were filled with some panic and unease. "Sister Yan, today Luoh River City was almost overtaken by Genetic Beasts, I want to go to Yanjing ahead of schedule."
"What’s the rush? Who knows you’re here? The Selu gene matter is long past, and if you come out publicly after a while, there won’t be any issue," Chong Yan said indifferently.
"Sister Yan, I heard that Ding Xiaotu, that little beast, is now very powerful. Is that true?" Ding Jie was always hiding, but he was not completely ignorant.
Chong Yan chuckled, "So what if he’s powerful? Could he possibly find this place? The Genetic Alliance is hunting him; he can hardly save himself."
Chong Yan hadn’t finished speaking when she saw Ding Jie suddenly stand up. She was about to ask why when she suddenly felt something and turned around only to find the door had somehow opened.
Standing at the door was a young man in gray, who also carried a large bag.
"Who let you come here?" Chong Yan scolded harshly.
She thought it was some student’s family who had found this place.
But shock and tremor crept into Ding Jie’s eyes.
"Long time no see, heir of the Baiyu Group." Ding Huan walked into the room and closed the door with his foot.
"Ding Xiaotu, you, you..." Ding Jie had always been the one lecturing Ding Xiaotu, but now seeing him, he felt an inexplicable fear.
Logically, he should have the psychological advantage standing in front of Ding Xiaotu.

"So you are Ding Huan?" Chong Yan realized, looking at the person in shock.
She naturally knew that Ding Xiaotu was Ding Huan.
"Yes, I am Ding Huan. A few months ago, I destroyed the Pu Hai Gene Alliance’s stronghold and killed everyone inside. A few days ago, I didn’t leave a single person from the Washing Blade Association in Luoh River."
Ding Huan spoke with a smile, as if discussing something mundane.
Knowing that Ding Huan was using this to scare her, Chong Yan couldn’t help but shiver.
She usually held herself above others, not even giving the principal face. But once it came to her own life and death, she panicked.
"Sort out what I want to know, and I’ll come to ask you later, or else you know the consequences," Ding Huan said, staring at Chong Yan, then slowly walked over to Ding Jie.
After inspecting Ding Jie from head to toe, Ding Huan finally said, "What kind of beast did you morph from? Not only are you ungrateful, but you also harmed the person who saved your life."
Ding Huan knew very well that when Ding Baishan saved Ding Jie, he was about to be taken for gene experimentation.
When genes had just started to be explored, countless people perished from various gene experiments. Ding Jie was just one of many.
"I don’t know, I don’t know anything..." Ding Jie had seen from various news sources that this renamed Ding Huan, Ding Xiaotu, was very powerful.
Now hearing Ding Huan say that he had wiped out the Gene Alliance and the Washing Blade Association, his fear turned his complexion deathly pale.
"You have three seconds, or don’t bother speaking," Ding Huan wasn’t about to slowly question this Ding Jie.
"It was them, they made me harm father..." Ding Jie’s voice trembled, and he even pointed at Chong Yan as he spoke.
"Do you even have the right to call him father, say, was it the Selu gene?" Ding Huan’s tone grew stern.
Ding Jie hurriedly said, "Yes, father’s associate, Professor Wen Yuanfu developed the Selu gene, which contains a herb, Mutated Qima.
Mutated Qima is a herb exclusively traded by the Yanjing Qin Family, so father took Professor Wen to the Yanjing Qin Family..."
He dared not call him father again.
At this moment, Ding Huan understood why Ding Baishan had sought an alliance with the Qin family.
It was all because of the Selu gene.
Ding Baishan disappeared in Yanjing, and later there were issues with the Selu gene, followed by the appearance of the Cocoon Origin Gene, which had similar effects to the Selu gene.
Cocoon Origin Gene was jointly produced by Yongtang Biotechnology Co., Ltd and the Da Yang Group, the truth of the matter becoming increasingly clear.
"I stole the data on the Selu gene potion, but this potion lacked the actual gene chain fusion part.
Chong Yan told me she had brought data on the gene chain fusion part. Later I found out that the data and information were erroneous," Ding Jie’s voice was full of fear, he worried Ding Huan might kill him.
After saying all this, Ding Jie saw Ding Huan’s expression turn very grim, he quickly continued, "The Ruining Essence Potion given to father was provided to me by Chong Yan."
"Ruining Essence Potion?" Ding Huan frowned slightly, his father Ding Baishan was just an ordinary person, what use did he have for a Ruining Essence Potion?
"Yes, father was a Mystic Level Martial Artist, they were worried that father would resist, so they arranged for me to administer the Ruining Essence Potion to father in advance. The potion would take effect two days later," Ding Jie didn’t dare hesitate.
Ding Huan was slightly taken aback; to be honest, if it weren’t for Ding Jie’s confession today, he wouldn’t have known his father, Ding Baishan, was actually a Mystic Level Martial Artist.
No wonder he was able to build such a great empire, it seemed he himself wasn’t so simple after all. But since his father was a Mystic Level Martial Artist, why didn’t he teach him personally, instead hiring various Martial Arts teachers?
Secretly seeing Ding Huan’s somber expression, Ding Jie grew even more afraid, worried that Ding Huan might lash out at him at any moment, he could only keep explaining,
"None of this was actually my doing, even stealing from Professor Wen wasn’t my choice, they forced me..."
From Ding Jie’s expression, Ding Huan knew that probably all Ding Jie knew.
Ding Huan had no intention of leaving this degenerate alive. Not to mention the matter with his father, just this guy’s involvement with the fake Selu gene had likely killed countless innocent people.
He raised his hand, and a fireball enveloped Ding Jie. Ding Jie was engulfed in flames, immediately emitting a piercing scream.
At this moment, fear inside him reached its peak.
It was real—the Bo Luo Pledge was real.
Initially, Ding Baishan made him swear at the Bo Luo Temple to support Ding Huan wholeheartedly. If he dared to harm Ding Huan or had a double heart towards Ding Huan, he would be burnt alive by flames.
Because of this pledge, he didn’t dare to kill Ding Huan, but in the end, the pledge was fulfilled.
At this moment, Ding Jie was filled with horror and regret, but it was too late for any regrets.
Chong Yan was so scared that he wet his pants, and despite trying to control his body, his legs couldn’t stop trembling.
"Keeping Ding Jie, is it to make him a scapegoat? Tell me, where is my father? Who did it?" Ding Huan stared at Chong Yan and asked calmly.
"I don’t know, I know nothing, it has nothing to do with me." Chong Yan was on the verge of a breakdown.
"If that’s the case, you have no value." Ding Huan’s tone remained calm.
"I only know that Yongtang Biotechnology was involved, Yongtang belongs to the Qiao family, I don’t know anything else, I was ordered by the Qiao family to wait here for you…" Chong Yan’s tone was even more frantic.
Feeling the icy killing intent from Ding Huan, Chong Yan quickly added, "I heard that Ding Baishan was rescued, it seems related to the Bo Luo Temple, I really don’t know anything else."
Ding Huan raised his hand and a blade of wind flew, "You have no value."
...
Leaving Luoh River Shangwu University, Ding Huan wanted to visit the Bo Luo Temple, but he knew well that the temple probably no longer existed.
Genetic Beasts had erupted, and Jinzhou, the city where the Bo Luo Temple was located, had long been occupied by beasts.
As for going to the Qiao family and Yongtang Biotechnology, he didn’t have time for that now.
With the emergence of a demon beast capable of commanding global beasts, he must find a way to enhance his strength quickly.
"Lao Liu, why did you come so soon? Didn’t I ask you to make sure that the work for that ape was well arranged?"
When Ding Huan returned to the entrance of Yujiang University, he saw Lao Liu looking at Tan Bei and Fei Tongtong, with several tense security guards nearby.
Now that the conflict between humans and Genetic Beasts was irreconcilable, Lao Liu daring to come to Yujiang University naturally put everyone on high alert.
It was a good thing there were no guns here, or someone would have fired already.
"Mr. Ding, this is your pet..." Tan Bei suddenly realized.
Lao Liu gave Tan Bei a disdainful look, muttering to himself that he’s the pet, his whole family is the pet.
Ding Huan smiled mockingly but did not bother to explain.
"Since Lao Liu is here, let’s go now."
Ding Huan hadn’t expected Lao Liu to arrive so quickly; he was sure Lao Liu hadn’t completed the task he was given. It wasn’t convenient to ask more about it here.
...
Ding Huan thought that with the beast tide, the train from Luoh River to Pu Hai might have been canceled. Even if it wasn’t, there would hardly be any passengers.
It wasn’t until Ding Huan got to the station that he realized how horribly wrong he’d been.
The entire station was packed, not only the waiting hall for the train to Pu Hai but also those for trains to other safe cities.
The effect of the Luoh River beast tide on the public was indeed too severe.
Those with connections no longer dared to stay in Luoh River, fearing that the beast tide might sweep through Luoh River City again, eager to leave.
No one knew that Luoh River City was now the safest city in the world.
Any beast that wanted to assault Luoh River City would have to go through Qianluo Mountain. As long as the Great Wilderness Golden Ape of Qianluo Mountain disagreed, Luoh River City would remain stable.
The train from Luoh River to Pu Hai had suffered a disastrous beast tide attack once before, with almost all the trains being wiped out.
Even so, this did not stop the trains from operating between Luoh River and Pu Hai.
Everyone knew that in this world, no matter where you were, even if you didn’t take the train, you could still be swept over by a beast tide.
So why fear?
The larger the city, the better the city’s defenses. It was always safer to live in a large city than in a small one.
Though the train was crowded, it was safe. The train didn’t stop along the way, and this time it only took eight hours to reach Pu Hai Station.
"Should we go to the Haiyun Mutated Materials first?" As soon as they left the station, Fei Tongtong asked.
"No need, I’m limited on time, take me directly to the Beast King Association," Ding Huan had already made his decision.
He would go to the Beast King Association first to retrieve what belonged to him and also to rescue Mu Tingyun and Zhao Quan.
Then, he would inquire about the Genetic Alliance, and if the Innate Strong People of the Alliance were there, he would opt for a sneak attack. If not, he would directly break in.
After visiting the Genetic Alliance, he planned to head to the Kunlun Mountain Range with Lao Liu.
"Okay." Fei Tongtong nodded excitedly, hurriedly drove her car out from the station, and prepared to take Ding Huan to the Beast King Association.
