Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 314 Restarting the Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Plan
After dinner, Lin Chen also tried to probe Bai Ling, but it turned out that he was overthinking things.

Bai Ling is still the same Bai Ling, seemingly unchanged.

"It seems I was overthinking it." As Lin Chen pondered, he saw the worry flash across Bai Ling's eyes again.

Recalling what happened that afternoon, Lin Feng asked, "Are you feeling agitated about something?"

Bai Ling's pupils dilate.

"Don't you want to go back to the Spirit Academy?"

"No." Bai Ling shook her head and said, "I just don't know why, but I heard that Tiandu is under siege by demonic beasts, and I feel a little uneasy."

Lin Chen was taken aback.

Bai Ling is kind-hearted, so her sadness is understandable.

However, compared to before, there have indeed been some changes.

At this moment, Lin Chen thought of Zhong Nan and wondered if Bai Ling, who had followed Zhong Nan for two years, might have been influenced by him.

“You won’t be of any help if you stay here,” Lin Chen said. “You might even become a burden.”

“Of course I understand, so I didn’t insist,” Bai Ling said. “I just wonder how sad it would be if my teacher knew about this in heaven.”

Lin Chen was taken aback again, thinking that this explanation made sense.

Although it's a bit strange, it's not surprising that Zhong Nan, who gave everything for the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, inspired Bai Ling.

The next day, when Lin Chen woke up, he saw that Liu Gu had already packed his things.

After Lin Chen finished eating and packed his things to say goodbye to the Grand Elder, he saw someone coming to his door.

The person who arrived was Gu Ning.

The Grand Elder and the three of them exchanged glances.

They just released them yesterday, surely they won't go back on their word today?

When the two sides met, they naturally exchanged pleasantries.

No sooner had they finished speaking than Gu An appeared, followed by Li Hai, the head of the Li family.

Finally, Yin Liao, the second-in-command of the Yin family, also arrived.

This time, apart from the Qin family, one of the four major families, all three other major families came, including Gu Ning from the National Academy.

The elders and the others sensed something unusual.

"I wonder how many of you have come?" the elder asked tentatively.

"Where are they going?" Li Hai pointed at Lin Chen and the others.

The Grand Elder immediately said, "They have some matters to attend to back at the Spirit Academy. I will remain in Tiandu to help defend against the enemy."

“We admire Elder Yu’s dedication to the Cangling Ancient Kingdom.” Li Hai smiled and said, “Now there is something I would like to discuss with the Elder.”

The elder glanced at Lin Chen and the others, and finally said, "This way, please."

They then disappeared, leaving Lin Chen and the other two behind.

Liu Gu looked at Lin Chen with concern and said, "Could it be that they're here for you?"

The fact that Lin Chen possessed the Dragon Transformation Technique was something that Tian Du feared most.

If Lin Chen is exposed, the other party might be after his life.

At this moment, the Grand Elder led them to the main hall and dismissed the others. He also had the same worries in his heart, fearing that they had come for Lin Chen.

At that point, we'll have no choice but to rely on the Spirit Institute to protect us.

"What brings you here?" the Grand Elder asked.

"Is such that."

Gu An asked, "Does the Grand Elder know about the Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Plan?"

The elder pondered for a moment, then said, "I know a little."

“Last month, the Spirit Academy also sent a letter to Tiandu about the Bagua Formation in Liucheng, right?” Gu An spoke for the second time.

The great elder nodded.

“Now that Zhong Nan has left and Gu Ning has taken over, he is still young and his mastery of the Dragon Transformation Technique is not yet at a level where he can fight against the Nine Nether Serpent.” Gu An said this, and the Grand Elder understood and said, “You want to restart this plan?” “That’s right.”

Li Hai said, "After our research, we found that this may be the only way to fight against the demon race."

The elder secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time was curious about what this matter had to do with him.

They never consult the Spirit Academy when making such decisions.

While the Grand Elder was puzzled, Gu An said, "The Grand Elder should know that Zhong Nan took in nine disciples that day, and Gu Ning was not actually the first choice to succeed the National Preceptor."

"What do you mean?" The elder sensed something was amiss.

The other party wasn't after Lin Chen, but after Bai Ling.

"The Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Project requires mastering either the Dragon Fighting Technique or the Dragon Transformation Technique, and possessing a Heavenly Mandate Body," Li Hai said. "The stronger the talent of the Heavenly Mandate Body, the greater the power it can unleash."

"We believe that the current Imperial Advisor, Gu Ning, is not talented enough or capable of shouldering this important responsibility."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder chuckled in exasperation and said, "Gu Ning was the one you recommended back then."

“Elder Yu, you understand that what the Cangling Ancient Kingdom needs is stability and balance,” Gu An said. “Some things are unavoidable.”

"So what you mean is..."

"We hope that Bai Ling can come out and take charge of the Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Formation, become the controller at its center, and help us resolve this monster chaos."

"Bai Ling?!"

The Grand Elder stood there, stunned.

The Grand Elder believed that Lin Chen could do it.

Bai Ling's personality and abilities are not sufficient to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

“I think Grand Preceptor Gu Ning might be more suitable,” the Grand Elder said.

"I've already used my Qi Observation Technique to deduce it," Gu Ning said at this moment. "The best candidate is Bai Ling."

"If the Grand Elder does not believe me, I can demonstrate it on the spot."

The Grand Elder was stunned.

Obviously, the other party came prepared.

Could it be that there really is a divine will at work?
Zhong Nan had already foreseen that Cangling Ancient Kingdom would face such a calamity, and that Bai Ling had to step in.

But the First Elder was a man of keen insight. Deep down, he trusted the Yin family, but he didn't trust the other three.

“I think it would be best to ask Bai Ling about this,” the Grand Elder said, glancing at the silent Yin Liao.

"of course."

Gu Ning said, "The Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Plan cannot be forced. We must concentrate on it, otherwise all our previous efforts will be in vain."

Lin Chen and the others waited outside for a long time before the First Elder and the others finally came out.

Seeing the unusual expression on the Grand Elder's face, Lin Chen knew that something must have happened.

After they came out, the elder explained the whole story in detail.

Lin Chen and Liu Gu were both stunned after hearing this.

"Miss Bai Ling, are you willing?" Gu An looked at Bai Ling and said, "For the Cangling Ancient Kingdom, for the battle of Tiandu?"

Bai Ling immediately looked at Liu Gu and Lin Chen.

This is her style of doing things.

This time, however, neither Liu Gu nor Lin Chen could help her make a choice.

If Bai Ling is truly the only solution, then she must step forward.

"Bai Ling, don't be afraid. Ask yourself, are you willing?" Liu Gu tried to soothe Bai Ling's heart.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chen interrupted at this moment:

"and many more!"

Gu Ning and the others looked at Lin Chen with displeasure, but the latter said unhurriedly, "I want to know, is there any danger in this Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Plan?!"
