Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 279 The new Imperial Master ascends the throne

Lin Chen looked into the city. The city gate was open to the public but not to the public. There was even a notice from the Beast Tamer Guild posted on the gate.

Is this haunted?
Surprised, Lin Chen asked the uncle, "Has no one come to deal with this?"

"Don't say anymore." The uncle sighed. "The Beast Tamer Guild reported it, and Tiandu promised to send someone to handle it, but the people they sent couldn't understand it at all, and one of them even died."

"The Beast Tamer Guild is going to send reinforcements again, and now no one dares to come."

After saying that, the uncle added, "Young man, you should leave too. This city is truly haunted. Many powerful forces have left, and we don't even know if the demon race will start a war. You definitely can't stay in this small city any longer."

Finally, the uncle left in a hurry.

After thinking it over, Lin Chen decided not to enter the city. He had only been passing through and wanted to stop in to replenish his food supplies.

He bypassed the city and drove away, but he still felt uneasy.

Didn't Zhong Nan already kill the Abyss Bone Dragon before?

Why is this still the case?

But now that Zhong Nan has passed away, many questions can no longer be answered.

Three days after Lin Chen left Hengshan City, Tiandu officially announced the end of the national mourning period and the ascension of the new national advisor.

With the new Imperial Preceptor taking the throne, it's natural that he'll make a big fuss, as this concerns two major powers: the Gu family and the Imperial Preceptor Academy.

Tian Shu Pavilion also issued another announcement, declaring the appointment of the new Imperial Preceptor.

Lin Chen then entered the next city and heard the news about Tiandu.

"Rumor has it that the Gu family is incredibly wealthy and spent over 100 million yuan on a lavish banquet, which was attended by powerful figures from all over the country."

"The Gu family is about to rise again."

“They have never declined. Gu Wei was originally the Grand Tutor of the previous dynasty. I hope Gu Ning can carry on his ancestor’s legacy.”

According to them, Gu Ning's enthronement ceremony this time was extremely grand, even somewhat frightening.

Lin Chen also saw advertisements about Gu Ning in some places in this small city.

The Imperial Advisor holds immense significance for the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, making its promotion essential.

Lin Chen simply listened to these matters and let them pass. Right now, the forces in Tiandu were pursuing nothing more than two words:

Stable.

Tento
National Teachers College

Gu Ning sat in the most prominent position in the National Academy, his face filled with barely suppressed excitement and agitation.

He finally took this position and became the most dazzling figure in the Cangling Ancient Kingdom.

From now on, the direction of this country will be guided by Gu Ning.

Just as Gu Ning was getting excited, footsteps came from outside the door. Gu Ning looked up and saw Zhang Jin appear in the main hall.

When Gu Ning saw Zhang Jin, she instinctively tried to stand up, but unexpectedly, Zhang Jin bowed respectfully and said with his hands clasped:
"Zhang Jin has met the Imperial Preceptor."

Gu Ning was a little uncomfortable with this scene, but he still said, "Senior brother, there's no one here, you don't need to do this."

Zhang Jin remained silent. He looked at Gu Ning and said, "Congratulations on your ascension to the throne today. There are some things I cannot say in detail, but I would like to remind you that you are now not only a member of the Gu family, but also the Grand Preceptor of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ning said unhappily, "Does Senior Brother think I'm someone who only listens to the Gu family?"

“At least getting rid of them isn’t so easy, is it?” Zhang Jin countered.

Gu Ning remained silent.

Zhang Jin's words were rather direct and unpleasant.

But that's the truth. Gu Ning, having ascended to this prestigious position of Imperial Advisor, naturally wanted to break free from the control of the Gu family.

But Gu Ning knew very well that it would be difficult for him to do so.

Sitting here is thanks to the Gu family's help.

But this is only the first step. If you want to gain a foothold, the best way is to continue to rely on Gu Jia.

At the very least, Gu Ning cannot do anything to betray the Gu family; otherwise, those forces that once supported them will think he is an ingrate.

Zhong Nan initially enjoyed the support of the Tiandu forces, but the fundamental reason for his later discord with them was that he had once taken action to eliminate a portion of the Tiandu forces.

Zhang Jin did not continue on this topic, but instead said to Gu Ning, "According to the rules of the National Academy, from today onwards, you are the new National Preceptor."

"You can also begin learning the supreme Dragon Transformation Technique today."

"You have the Dragon Transformation Technique?" Gu Ning asked in surprise.

“Of course not,” Zhang Jin said. “Strictly speaking, the Dragon Transformation Technique is a mark.”

After saying that, he led Gu Ning outside and they arrived at the dragon head spring they had seen before.

Gu Ning said in surprise, "When the teacher passed away before, this place wasn't spewing black water, but today it's dried up."

“My teacher once said that the fate of the Imperial Preceptor is tied to that of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom. The reason he vomited black water before was because my teacher had already passed away.” After Zhang Jin finished speaking, he said to Gu Ning, “You just need to take out the Imperial Preceptor’s Seal, put it on the dragon’s head, and then use the Dragon Fighting Technique to summon your spirit dragon.”

After saying that, Zhang Jin prepared to leave.

Gu Ning then asked, "Senior brother seems to have a lot of prejudice against me, but I don't think I have offended you in any way."

Zhang Jin paused, then turned around and continued the previous topic, saying, "Do you remember the question I just asked you?"

Gu Ning was taken aback.

He thought for a moment and quickly remembered.

He said, "I must admit that I can't do it now, but who can say what the future holds?"

Zhang Jin didn't answer. He pulled out a file from somewhere and tossed it over, only saying one sentence:
"Take a look."

After saying this, Zhang Jin really left.

Gu Ning picked up the file, opened it, and was immediately shocked by what she saw.

This file contains the details of the leak and assassination attempt during the Six Nations Beast Fighting Tournament.

It clearly lists that the root cause of the leak and assassination cases is Gu An, who was in charge of the Beast Fighting Association.

Gu Ning fell silent for a moment.

Gu An is one of the high-ranking members of the Gu family and also the biggest supporter of this ascension to the throne.

However, both the leak of secrets and the assassination are acts of treason.

If this gets out, I'd be dead ten times over.

But if the secret is leaked, it will inevitably implicate the Gu family.

At this moment, Gu Ning began to hesitate.
If it were Zhong Nan, he would definitely eliminate Gu An immediately.

But can Gu Ning do it?
Gu Ning looked at the file and fell into deep hesitation.

Zhang Jin, who was outside the door, hadn't actually left; he had been watching Gu Ning's reaction the whole time.

In fact, he didn't understand at all.
After returning to Tiandu from the Beast Fighting Tournament, Zhong Nan already knew the truth about the two cases, but he did not reveal it. Instead, he had Zhang Jin write it into a file.

He told Zhang Jin that this file would be handed over to him when the next Grand Preceptor ascended the throne.
