"kill!"

Three hours ago, the vanguard of the demon race launched an attack on Tiandu. At this moment, the walls of Tiandu are already covered in blood.

Tiandu also issued a city lockdown order, allowing everyone to leave but not enter.

Rumors have circulated that a large army of demons is heading towards Tiandu, seemingly preparing for a decisive battle.

For a time, the people of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom were filled with fear and unease.

At that moment, inside the National Academy, Lai Yonghui stepped forward and reported to Gu Ning:
"The first wave of beast tide has been contained. The situation in Tiandu is good, and we have not lost many troops."

Gu Ning nodded, not surprised. He stood up, and Lai Yonghui next to him asked, "Where did the Imperial Advisor go?"

“Tian Shu Pavilion,” Gu Ning said.

Lai Yonghui was overjoyed and said, "It seems that Tian Shu Pavilion is going to agree to restart the Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Project."

A slight smile appeared on Gu Ning's lips.

With the demon army now pressing on the city, all the high-ranking officials of the major powers in the capital are afraid of dying.

Even if they knew that fighting the demon race would ultimately result in a bloody battle, it was hard to say who would emerge victorious.

However, once the top leadership is deployed, losses are inevitable.

If we were to name the people who least want to see war break out again, it would undoubtedly be these high-ranking officials.

Because once war breaks out, many interests will be redistributed.

Lai Yonghui was naturally not qualified to go to such a place, so he waited at the National Teachers' College.

As dusk approached in the afternoon, Gu Ning finally returned.

"How is it?" Lai Yonghui asked.

"They are willing to launch the Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Project, however..."

Gu Ning frowned and said, "That person is not me."

"Not you?" Lai Yonghui said with some disbelief, "You are the Imperial Advisor. Only someone who knows the Dragon Transformation Technique can control this power. Who else could it be but you?"

After a slight pause, Lai Yonghui seemed to understand and said, "You mean, they want to transfer the Dragon Transformation Technique to another person so that he can control this power?"

“That’s right,” Gu Ning said.
"And they have already found this person."

"who is it?"

"It's not clear yet." Gu Ning frowned, clearly unhappy.

"Then how can they be sure that the people they choose won't betray them in the end?" Lai Yonghui asked, puzzled.

“It’s very simple,” Gu Ning said. “As long as he’s dead, there won’t be any problems.”

Lai Yonghui remained silent, then his body trembled.

Indeed.

This is the best way to resolve threats and conflicts.

But who will become the discarded pawn?
Inside the Spirit Academy, Lin Chen and the others had long known that the demon race would attack Tiandu, but they did not expect it to happen so suddenly.

"It seems that the Nine-Nether Serpent is almost fully recovered," the Grand Elder said with concern.

Now, Tiandu has issued a call to action across the country through the guild machine, hoping that beast tamers from all over the world can come to Tiandu to help.

However, the Grand Elder was well aware that the country was currently in a state of war, and there were not many Beastmasters who could go to provide support.

The central region where the Spirit Academy is located is relatively safe now, but precisely because of this safety, a large number of people are migrating into the central region from all directions.

If the Spirit Academy sends forces to support Tiandu, then once the demon race returns to the central region, another bloody battle will ensue.

Besides, Tiandu's power was already the strongest in the country, and this time Tiandu did not provide much external support, so many people were resentful.

Despite the hatred, many people remain rational.

Tiandu is the place of faith of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom. Once it falls, the human race will surely never have a good life again.

So some people still went to support Tiandu.

It's like knowing that a child's character is not good, but if the child falls ill, the whole family will fall apart, so you still have to save them.

The Grand Elder had also considered this issue, but after assessing the pros and cons, he ultimately decided not to provide support.

After learning about the events in Tiandu, Lin Chen realized that the chaos of the demon beasts might be coming to an end, and the outcome of the battle in Tiandu would directly determine the fate of the rest of the country. Therefore, Lin Chen planned to take Qin Shaoshao back to the south.

The central region has the Spirit Academy, and a large number of its disciples, making it many times stronger than the southern region.

The Grand Elder didn't object. With Young Master Qin around, protecting Lin Chen's life was definitely not a problem.

On the very day Lin Chen was preparing to depart, another scout hurriedly returned to the Spirit Academy, bringing several pieces of news:

First, the second attack launched by the demon race was ten times larger than the first, and the Nine Nether Serpent made its move.

"What was the result?" the elder asked.

"Several powerful spirit beasts from the Heavenly Capital made a move, but were severely injured as a result."

The spy said with a dim look in his eyes:
"After severely injuring them, the Nine Nether Serpent chose to leave, giving them a deadline: for the National Academy to hand over the Dragon Transformation Technique."

"really!"

The elder frowned.

This is not good news.

"The Heavenly Pivot Pavilion has decided not to hand it over, but the Nine Nether Serpent has now made a public statement."

The scout continued speaking at a rapid pace: "If Tianbu doesn't hand over the Dragon Transformation Technique, then the demon race will slaughter all the human territories they control."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder and Lin Chen exchanged glances.

What's meant to happen will happen.

Lin Chen and the Grand Elder had already foreseen this.

The Heavenly Pivot Pavilion is nothing special; it's controlled by various major powers.

However, the National Academy has always been in line with the will of the people. If the National Academy does nothing this time and watches so many people being slaughtered, then internal strife among humans will be the first to break out.

After all, since the start of the war, the human race has harbored some resentment towards Tiandu's lack of support.

"Investigate again," the elder said to the scout, frowning.

Unexpectedly, the scout said, "I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Is there any other news?" the elder asked curiously.

The scout said, "Didn't you ask me to investigate a girl named Bai Ling before? I've found out a bit this time."

"Speak quickly." Liu Gu and Lin Chen were both shocked upon hearing this.

Bai Ling suddenly disappeared after the war began, and there is still no trace of her.

"We found traces of her in a city south of Tiandu. Someone saw her there, but it seems she was later kidnapped," the scout said. "I continued my investigation and found the person..."

"Speak," the elder said, frowning.

"That person seems to be from the Gu family," the scout said. "But whether it was done by the National Academy or the Gu family is still unknown."

"Are you sure you've been kidnapped?" the elder asked.

"determine."

The scout said, "More than one person saw it, and the streets were blocked off at the time."

"Gu Jiajing dares to touch anyone from my Lingyuan Academy?!"

The Grand Elder was furious.

The position of Imperial Advisor already belongs to the Gu family, specifically to Gu Ning.

Why did they still kidnap Bai Ling?

After a moment's thought, the Grand Elder said, "No, I need to go to Tiandu."

"I'll go as well."

Lin Chen said.
