Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 417 Asking for help
"Aren't you going to give us an explanation?!"

Gu Youshan roared angrily, his voice becoming extremely loud.

Xuanyuan Zhou, however, still wore a smile, as if the suffocating pressure was merely a gentle breeze.

He stroked his beard gently and said slowly:

"Please calm down. The truth of this matter is still unknown. People of the ancient clans can indeed be a bit reckless at times."

"But even if they really went to the Spirit Academy, that's just the individual actions of the ancient clan. How can that represent the attitude of my entire divine race?"

He paused, a hint of amusement in his smile:
"Moreover, as far as I know, there are some unresolved personal grudges between the ancient clan and the Spirit Academy."

"Perhaps they are just going to settle some old matters, and may not be after any dragon vein as you guessed."

"Please don't be so sensitive."

Gu Youshan's face turned ashen. The other party's nonchalant and irresponsible attitude fueled his anger, but what worried him more was whether the dragon vein of the Spirit Academy had already fallen.

After his birth, Xuanyuan Zhou appeared polite, but in reality he was unyielding and never mentioned immediately starting formal negotiations for the "Centennial Agreement".

Its intention is all too obvious.
He was just waiting, waiting for news to come from Gu Feng!
If Gu Feng successfully seizes the Dragon Vein of the Spirit Academy, the Divine Race will have absolute initiative in the subsequent negotiations, and may even use this as a pretext to forcibly demand more!

And how long can the Spirit Academy hold out against the all-out attack of the ancient clans?

Gu Youshan had almost given up hope. He suppressed his anger and stopped arguing with Xuanyuan Zhou. He turned around and strode away from the Divine Clan's territory with Li Gu.

As soon as he left the camp, Gu Youshan said to Li Gu in a deep voice, "The situation has changed. We need to send someone back to Tiandu as quickly as possible to tell Tiandu the details of the situation here."

Li Gu nodded, but his brows remained furrowed, and he murmured:

"It seems that this war is hard to avoid."

Spiritual Academy.

After the great battle, everything was in ruins.

Smoke and the smell of burning filled the air. The once lush and ethereal mountains were now mostly bare and charred, like ugly scars.

A somber atmosphere enveloped the academy as disciples and elders cleared the rubble, treated the wounded, and collected the bodies of the fallen.

The Grand Elder and the others did not choose to pursue the fleeing Gu Feng and his group.

Do not pursue a desperate enemy, especially since our ancient people have a rich cultural heritage.

After working tirelessly until nightfall and having made initial arrangements, the Grand Elder dragged his tired but sleepless body to Lin Chen's residence.

In the courtyard, Lin Chen and Li Zhen were studying the Phoenix Arm together.

Li Zhen rolled up his sleeves, and his arm, burning with crimson flames and vividly depicted with phoenix patterns, stood out prominently in the night.

He slightly activated his spiritual power, and instantly a terrifying aura of domineering power and absolute dominance spread out. The phoenix pattern on his arm seemed to come alive and let out a silent cry, and the surrounding space was slightly distorted due to the extreme heat.

"The power of this Phoenix Arm is indeed astonishing; its control over flames is almost at the level of laws." Lin Chen observed carefully, his eyes filled with amazement.

Li Zhen nodded, a look of joy on his face, and said, "I was also surprised that he was so powerful. It seems that this misfortune has truly turned into a blessing in disguise."

“It’s not just a simple blessing.” The elder spoke up at this moment, and only then did the two realize that the other had arrived.

"Elder." The two stood up. The elder waved his hand, gesturing for them to sit down, and then found a stone bench to sit on himself, his face filled with exhaustion and solemnity.

"Thanks to you all today." The First Elder sighed, especially looking at Lin Chen. "If you hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Lin Chen shook his head: "The Spirit Academy is also my home."

After saying that, he pressed on, "Elder, what exactly is going on? Why did the ancient clans suddenly launch a large-scale attack?"

Li Zhen also looked at the Grand Elder, who knew very little about the affairs of the Divine Race.

"Let's talk about your Phoenix Arm first," the Grand Elder said. "The Tree Ancestor overheard a conversation among the gods. Your Phoenix Arm is no ordinary weapon. Lin Chen retrieved Phoenix Essence Blood from Zhong Nan for you before, and it wasn't just any ordinary essence blood, but one of the legendary three great Phoenix Essence Bloods."

"The blood of Nirvana?" Lin Chen was quite surprised when he heard this.

This kind of phoenix blood essence is extremely rare; Lin Chen even thought it was impossible.

I never expected it to be such a treasure.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhen didn't know what to say. Instead, he looked at his arm and then glanced at Lin Chen.

Then the Grand Elder took a deep breath and explained in detail the existence of the God Race, the origin of the Hundred-Year Agreement, and the current negotiation situation in the Fallen God Mountains.

This was the first time Li Zhen had heard of these ancient secrets and the true predicament facing humanity, and he was greatly surprised:
"No wonder. No wonder we often hear of some incredibly talented beast tamers on the continent who later mysteriously disappeared. It turns out they didn't all die young, but were taken away by the gods!"

"This time, the other side is negotiating on the surface, but secretly sending the ancient clans to launch a surprise attack, with their target being our dragon vein."

The Grand Elder said in a deep voice, "It seems that the chances of He Tan succeeding in his resurrection this time are very small."

"The dragon vein is related to the fate and foundation of the human race. Once it is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable. We will lose not only future strongmen, but also the hope for the rise of the entire race. At that time, the human race may really never have a chance to turn the tide and become a vassal or even a slave of the gods." Li Zhen quickly realized the seriousness of the matter.

The atmosphere became extremely heavy.

"Do you think Tian Du knows about the attack on our Spirit Academy?" Lin Chen asked.

"They probably don't know yet," the First Elder said thoughtfully.

"The ancient race operates with extreme secrecy and speed, and the Fallen God Mountains are far from here, so it takes time for messages to travel. In Tiandu's overall strategy, our attitude towards the gods is largely consistent. The main force for negotiations is also in the Fallen God Mountains."

After a moment of silence, Lin Chen spoke, his voice calm and clear:
"Elder, the ancient clans will not let this defeat go unpunished. When they come back next time, they will be fully prepared and their strength will only be greater. We, the Spirit Academy alone, will probably not be able to withstand them."

The Grand Elder looked at him: "What do you mean?"

"Request reinforcements!" Lin Chen said decisively. "We must inform Tiandu of the situation here as soon as possible. We don't need to worry about Tiandu's attitude for now. In the end, we still have to rely on ourselves. So we have to find help ourselves. We can't repeat the mistakes of the beast chaos."

Unexpectedly, the Grand Elder immediately spoke up, saying, "When I attended the meeting in Tiandu regarding the birth of the Gods, I made my stance clear to City Lord Xu and Chairman Chen."

"They also agreed that they would be willing to ally with the Spirit House if war were to break out."

Lin Chen nodded. Given Lei Cheng and Nan Cheng's style of doing things, they would definitely offer assistance if they knew that the Dragon Vein was being invaded by the gods.

"As for Lei City, I will go there personally. This matter is of great importance, and I don't trust anyone else to go," the Grand Elder said. "As for the South City..."

“I’ll go,” Lin Chen said immediately. “I’m more familiar with the area, and Chairman Chen will trust me more.”

“Alright,” the elder said. “The ancient clans have been repelled this time and will not return for the time being. They will not be able to mobilize their troops quickly either, but we must still go and return as soon as possible.”
