Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 207 The Pinnacle of Immortal Arts: Heaven and Earth Sorrow
"Don't be afraid, everyone. The Dragon Transformation Technique won't harm you."

Feeling the earth tremble, Zhu Tong also spoke to the students.

Even Lin Chen, who felt such a powerful tremor, was still somewhat shaken.

The tragedy of heaven and earth has not yet been revealed, yet the scene it creates is already so terrifying?
The assassin beast tamer realized something was wrong; some people had already started calling for the party to withdraw.

Just then, Zhong Nan circulated all his spiritual energy, muttered incantations, and lowered his hand gesture.

The world seemed quiet at this moment, but everyone knew that this was the calm before the storm.
The next second, the sky seemed to be violently stirred by an invisible giant hand, the colors twisting and changing wildly, and purple lightning like a ferocious dragon weaving through the dark clouds.

The earth roared deafeningly, as if it were being repeatedly struck by a giant hammer, and cracks spread out like a spider web.

Several colossal energy dragons soared into the sky from the crack, their bodies shimmering with multicolored light, their scales resembling burning gems, each one flowing with mysterious runes.

The dragon's whiskers, like nimble lightning, danced wildly in the wind.

Countless dragons roared, their voices like rolling thunder, making one's eardrums ache.

Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but swallow hard.

Is this the ultimate killing move of the Dragon Transformation Technique, Heaven and Earth Grieve?

This scene is terrifying, as if we've entered the apocalypse.

The assassins' spirit beasts, who had initially intended to fight, lost all will to continue fighting after witnessing this scene.

Upon seeing this, the lead assassin and beast tamer knew that the mission was complete, and ordered everyone and their spirit beasts to retreat.

But the world has already grieved; how can the matter be resolved without bloodshed?

All that could be seen was a giant energy dragon, drawn up from the earth's veins, seemingly imbued with sentience under Zhong Nan's control. It carried boundless, immense power, like a dazzling streak of light, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, as it swiftly crashed into one of the killer spirit beasts.

Wherever the energy dragon passed, the air vibrated violently, emitting a deep rumble.

The moment the energy dragon made contact with the assassin spirit beast, the seemingly indestructible body of the assassin spirit beast became as fragile as paper under the impact of this powerful energy.

Countless blinding rays of light burst forth from its body, followed by a tremendous power erupting from within.

The killer beast's defenses crumbled before this energy, and a shocking crack appeared between its head and body.

The crack expanded rapidly, spreading like lightning.

The next moment, a loud "boom" was heard, and the killer spirit beast suddenly exploded, with countless pieces of flesh and internal organs flying everywhere, and the stench of blood instantly filled the air.

The once whole body split into countless pieces in an instant, scattered all around, creating an extremely gruesome scene.

The killer spirit beasts, who had initially wanted to resist, lost all will to fight upon seeing this tragic scene.

Heaven and earth grieved; indeed, it was terrifying!
"withdraw!"

The lead assassin, a beast tamer, gave a resolute order; at this moment, they had no time to spare and only wanted to retreat.

However, the energy dragon was hot on their heels, and the scene became extremely chaotic. Although the Heavenly Sorrow was powerful, it was not invincible.

Some spirit beasts survived, while others, like that one spirit beast, perished in the strangulation of the energy dragon.

The scene was so chaotic that Zhu Tong and Zhang Jin stood firmly beside the students, watching them flee. Only then did Zhang Jin speak up: "Dean Zhu, you protect the students. Liao Qing, take the Heavenly Shadow Guards and give chase. Make sure to intercept and kill them all."

"Yes."

Zhu Tong and Liao Qing responded quickly.

In an instant, nearly half of the Heavenly Shadow Guards were mobilized and chased after the assassin beast tamer.

Zhu Tong had just relaxed his guard a little, but he didn't expect that when he was escaping, four spirit beasts passed by the students and seemed to have found a new target.
"Lin Chen!"

Zhu Tongyi saw it immediately.

Lin Chen was also a little confused, but at this moment, four level 70 spirit beasts attacked him.

The three-headed spirit beast suddenly stepped forward, trying to protect Lin Chen behind it.

But these three spirit beasts were far beyond their ability to defeat.

At the critical moment, a dragon's roar resounded, and it was Zhong Nan riding a spirit dragon, blocking Lin Chen's path.

Lin Chen swallowed hard; the four killer spirit beasts were only ten meters away from them.

Upon seeing Zhong Nan appear, these killer spirit beasts realized that it was impossible to kill Lin Chen today, and they fled in all directions.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief and was about to thank Zhong Nan when he discovered that Zhong Nan had instantly deactivated the Dragon Transformation Technique, and was completely exhausted, his body swaying precariously.

"The Imperial Advisor."

Lin Chen hurriedly stepped forward to help the Grand Preceptor, but Zhong Nan stubbornly supported himself and shouted, "Jin'er."

"exist."

"Protecting the students is the priority. Don't pursue them too far. The Heavenly Shadow Guards are no match for them."

"Yes."

Zhang Jin then changed the pursuit mission, but looking at Lin Chen, he fell into deep thought.

Only after most of the escaped spirit beasts had fled did the area return to calm.

The students who had just witnessed this scene were still somewhat stunned. They were all newcomers who had never seen anything like it before. Even after the Sky Shadow Guards who came to their aid from afar rushed over, they were still shaken.

"Your Excellency, Imperial Advisor"

The one who came to provide support was Gu An.

As he entered, he scanned the marks on the ground and, recalling the scene he had just witnessed, couldn't help but gasp.

This sorrow of heaven and earth is indeed terrifying beyond measure.

However, the most crucial thing right now is to see how Zhong Nan is doing.

At this moment, Zhong Nan was extremely weak, and even breathing was extremely difficult.

After using the Heaven and Earth Sorrow technique, even the effects of the Rejuvenating Pill could no longer maintain his weakened state.

He is now extremely old, and could even be described as being on his deathbed.

Gu An's eyes lit up with joy, but he still feigned concern and asked, "Is the Imperial Preceptor alright?"

Zhong Nan waved his hand.

Gu An quickly added, "I was in charge of the security of Baidi City this time. The responsibility for the assassination of the Grand Preceptor lies with me. I will investigate to the end and give the Grand Preceptor an explanation."

Then he bowed to Zhang Jin and finally led the Heavenly Shadow Guards in pursuit of the direction the assassin had fled.

Zhang Jin then stepped forward to help Zhong Nan, saying, "Teacher, let me help you back to rest."

Zhong Nan nodded, but he still forced a smile and looked at Lin Chen and the others, saying, "Kids, I'm sorry to have frightened you today."

The crowd simply bowed and saw them off without saying anything more.

Today is also an important experience in their lives.

They actually encountered the situation where the Imperial Advisor was assassinated.

They were angry, but at the same time powerless.

After Zhong Nan and the others left, Liu Gu and Zhang Daoren said, "Everyone, please don't leave yet, wait for our instructions."

After saying that, the two hurriedly left in the direction where Zhu Tong and the others had disappeared.

After they were all gone, the students started talking amongst themselves.

There is only one topic of discussion:
Who would dare to lay a hand on the dignified Imperial Preceptor in the Cangling Ancient Kingdom?

Gu An led the Heavenly Shadow Guards in pursuit, but they couldn't catch a glimpse of these people at all.

Gu An was overjoyed to see this.

He had no intention of taking Zhong Nan's life when he cooperated with the Youlan Empire this time.

With the support of the Dragon Transformation Technique, killing Zhong Nan would be virtually impossible.

Knowing Zhong Nan's condition now is excellent news for him.

Once this news reaches Tiandu, the Gu family will undoubtedly begin planning to reclaim the position of Imperial Preceptor.

As she was deep in thought, Ji Ru walked in and said as soon as she entered:

"The assassins arranged by the Youlan Empire have been found, and both the people and the clues will point to the Hidden Cult."

“Very good.” Gu An glanced at the report and then said, “Wait a day, and then deliver this report to Zhang Jin in the evening. Just tell him that I’m still busy hunting them down.”

"Yes."

Ji Ru nodded.

"Any thing else?"

“Yes.” Ji Ru pondered for a moment and said, “According to the description from the Heavenly Shadow Guards, the assassins attacked the students when they were leaving.”

Gu An didn't think anything of it and said, "It's normal for them to want to escape and take these students hostage."

“That’s the problem,” Ji Ru said. “They’re not targeting a group of students, but that one named Lin Chen.”

"What did you say?!"

Gu An naturally recognized Lin Chen. The potential displayed by Lin Chen's spirit beast in the past had already alarmed all the important figures who came here.

Everyone knows.
As expected.

Lin Chen is the strongest among this year's freshmen.

"Idiot." Gu An thought for a moment and immediately understood Taylor's idea.

They probably felt that winning the championship was not secure, so they planned to take advantage of the situation to make a move against Lin Chen.

If the Cangling Ancient Kingdom loses three points at the start, the Youlan Empire will easily win the championship.

Gu An knew that things had changed. Even if the National Academy suspected the Hidden Cult, it would still point the finger at the Hidden Cult based on the clues.

But now that this has happened, given Zhang Jin and Zhu Tong's shrewdness, it's impossible for them not to suspect the Youlan Empire.

Once they've set their sights on Taylor and his group, they'll inevitably investigate them in secret.

The capabilities of the National Academy of Education are beyond the control of Gu An and his group.

“We’ve already given them the information, and they still think they can’t win the final championship,” Gu An said coldly. “Now even a fool would suspect that they did it.”

"What do we do now?" Ji Ru asked.

Gu An got up and paced back and forth before saying, "Even if they suspect something, they probably won't find any clues anytime soon. Go and investigate how many people know about our involvement."

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Ru cupped her hands and said, "Your subordinate understands."

"Make it look nicer," Gu An added.

"Yes."

Ji Ru bowed and left.

She knew Gu An's orders.

If Taylor and others are exposed, the Gu family will be at risk of being suspected.

Therefore, the best solution is to ensure that these people never speak again.

Lin Chen and the others waited there for three hours before being told they could leave.

Under the protection of the Heavenly Shadow Guards, Liu Gu brought Lin Chen back to the courtyard.

Liu Gu also said, "The teacher stayed here until he returned to the Spirit Academy."

Lin Chen nodded.

The final scene made Lin Chen realize that the other party seemed to be targeting him.

It's obvious.
Liu Gu and the others also realized this.

That evening, Liu Gu told Lin Chen that the investigation results were in.

"The Heavenly Shadow Guard captured one person, but he is dead."

"Based on the clues from the investigation, this person is a member of the Secret Order."

Liu Gu frowned as he spoke.

Lin Chen said, "The Hidden Cultivation Society seems to have never had much conflict of interest with the Cangling Ancient Kingdom."

Liu Gu nodded and said, "If they hadn't attacked you later, the Hidden Cult would have taken the blame for this."

"But their motives are too obvious, and we are starting to have some doubts about them."

"The Youlan Empire".

Lin Chen said incisively.

“Now we can only suspect them,” Liu Gu said. “Your abilities in the battle in Beiming Kingdom were too strong, and Youlan Empire may not feel safe enough.”

"Of course, this is just a guess at the moment."

Lin Chen nodded.

Although it's just speculation, from a profit perspective, the Youlan Empire would benefit the most if Lin Chen were unable to participate in the war.

As time went by, the entire city of Baidi became aware of this matter.

At that time, Zhong Nan's Dragon Transformation Technique was so powerful that it would have been difficult for those people not to notice.

Therefore, everyone in the Cangling Ancient Kingdom was extremely angry.

The Imperial Advisor represents their nation's identity, and Baidi City is a city of martyrs.

Taking action against the Imperial Advisor in this city is tantamount to declaring war.

"We must catch the mastermind behind this, or it will be too embarrassing."

"Losing face is a small matter. If it weren't for the Imperial Preceptor's Dragon Transformation Technique, I would probably be dead here."

"How did Tian Shu Pavilion arrange security this time?"

"Rumor has it that these assassins later attacked Lin Chen as well. Could this have been the work of the Youlan Empire?"

"The evidence still seems to point to the Secret Order."

"The leaders of the Secret Order seem to have admitted that they were responsible for the attack, as retaliation for our past suppression of them."

"I don't think this matter is that simple."

In just one night, the whole city was buzzing with the news.

Because of the detail about assassinating Lin Chen, everyone felt that the Youlan Empire was more likely to be behind it.

However, they currently lack direct evidence to suggest that these individuals were sent by the Youlan Empire.

What makes them even more helpless is
Even if Lin Chen is safe and sound.

However, judging from the current situation, it will be extremely difficult for the Cangling Ancient Kingdom to defeat the Youlan Empire.

The next day, Taylor announced to the public:
They were shocked by Zhong Nan's attack, but they were even more furious at the suspicions. He explained that all of them had stayed in the restaurant that night and had not gone out, so the incident had nothing to do with the Youlan Empire. They would also actively cooperate with the Tianying Guard's investigation to clear their names.

These words silenced much of the discussion.

But that's just how things are.
Once suspicion arises, the matter will continue to escalate.

Another day passed, and the students of the Youlan Empire also began to spread rumors, especially Dick, who shamelessly said:
"Even if the Cangling Ancient Kingdom had lost two people, we would still not be afraid even if it were at full strength."

"The fact that the Youlan Empire is participating in the Beast Fighting Tournament means they are already a shoo-in for the championship!"

"The Cangling Ancient Kingdom, what do you have to fight us with!"

These words caused an uproar throughout the city.

However, these words were indeed very effective.

To some extent, many people have begun to give up doubting the Youlan Empire.

However, upon hearing this, they would feel a surge of inexplicable anger.

The Cangling Ancient Kingdom is now starting with two points less, which can be described as a disastrous start.

Therefore, whatever Dick says goes.

As for the final champion, it will inevitably be the Youlan Empire; no one thinks that the Cangling Ancient Kingdom can turn the tide.
