Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 418 Returning to Nine Star City

Lin Chen nodded, agreeing with the Elder's arrangement.

The alliance is not just talk; this alliance is tantamount to getting the other side to bring its main force to the Spirit Academy.

Simply sending someone to notify them won't work.

"Should we evacuate the students first?" Li Zhen suddenly asked.

"They've already been evacuated," the elder said, sounding somewhat weary.

The Spirit Academy was originally a place for learning, but given the current situation, it has no choice but to temporarily suspend classes.

After all, the matter of the gods has not been settled, and new battles may break out in the Spirit Academy.

These students are weak; if they stay here, they will only be a burden.

Even though many passionate students have clearly stated that they are willing to fight for the Spirit Academy.

But the Grand Elder refused them all.

Even if they stayed, how much of a role could they play when facing the ancient tribes?

On that very day, Lin Chen and the First Elder each embarked on their respective journeys to seek help.

Qin Shaoshao and Li Zhen stayed behind at the Spirit Academy to prevent the ancient clan from returning. With them there, the Spirit Academy would have an extra layer of protection.

However, what they didn't know was that the moment they left, the tree ancestor on the back mountain instantly turned yellow.

Qin Shaoshao was the first to discover all of this.

To defend against another attack from the ancient clans, Qin Shaoshao had been keeping his mental energy constantly on display. When he sensed a significant fluctuation in the Tree Ancestor's mental energy, he rushed over immediately.

"Tree Ancestor, you..." Qin Shaoshao frowned upon seeing the Tree Ancestor's condition.

The tree ancestor was in really bad condition.

It seems that it was badly injured in yesterday's battle.

"I don't have much time left. Yesterday's battle did indeed injure my core," Tree Ancestor said frankly. "However, I can still hold on."

As it spoke, it forcefully exerted its power, causing its leaves to turn yellow again.

Qin Shaoshao said, "You should focus on recovering. I will take care of Lingyuan during this period."

The Tree Ancestor looked at Qin Shao Shao without saying a word. In the end, it simply nodded, closed its eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Meanwhile, in the Fallen God Mountains, Gu Youshan was extremely anxious and kept urging Xuanyuan Zhou to begin formal negotiations.

However, Xuanyuan Zhou remained calm and composed, always managing to stall and delay with various excuses, his intentions being self-evident.

He was waiting for news from the Spirit Academy.

Seven more days passed, and Xuanyuan Zhou, estimating the time, felt that Gu Feng should have a result by now.

Just as he was calculating how to use the dragon vein he was about to acquire to gain the greatest benefit in the negotiations, a messenger from the gods finally arrived, looking flustered.

Before the messenger could even catch his breath, he whispered a few words rapidly in Xuanyuan Zhou's ear.

The next moment, the calm and composed smile on Xuanyuan Zhou's face froze instantly, replaced by a look of disbelief and astonishment. Although he quickly concealed it, the shock deep in his eyes could not be completely hidden.

"Defeated? Gu Feng personally led the team and they were actually defeated by the Spirit Academy?"

This thought exploded in Xuanyuan Zhou's mind like a thunderclap, and he couldn't help but say it aloud.

The gods sitting nearby were stunned by these words, almost doubting that they had misheard.

How could a powerful branch of the divine race with phoenix bloodline fail to conquer a human academy in the lower realm?

How can this be? !
"Impossible. The strongest person in the Spirit Academy is that tree spirit. Apart from that, there's no one else worth mentioning. Could it be that some old dean who has been missing for many years has returned?"

"That old dean is already dead, how could he still be alive?"

"How could Gu Feng have lost?"

The crowd murmured amongst themselves, all incredulous, their faces instantly darkening. This defeat of the ancient clan would have a profound impact on their plans.

Inside the other tent, Gu Youshan and Li Gu also received the astonishing news of the Spirit Academy's defeat of the Ancient Clan almost simultaneously through information channels.

The two were initially stunned, then overwhelmed with immense joy and disbelief.

"The Spirit Academy... actually held out?" Li Gu's voice trembled slightly. "How did they do that?"

Gu Youshan took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and his gaze sharpened:

"Whatever method they used, this is fantastic news!"

"In this way, that old fox Xuanyuan Zhou's plan has failed! Let's see how he tries to stall now!"

Sure enough, the atmosphere between the two sides became delicate on that very day.

Previously, Xuanyuan Zhou wanted to delay, but now the roles have reversed, and Gu Youshan is no longer in a hurry.

Lin Chen set off for Nancheng, stopping almost continuously along the way.

After nearly a month of arduous travel, Lin Chen finally entered the southern territory.

He did not go directly to Nancheng, but instead detoured back to Jiuxing City.

It has been three years since he last left.

Today, Nine Star City has undergone tremendous changes. The city walls are taller and stronger, the streets are wide, bustling with traffic and people, presenting a prosperous scene.

Clearly, thanks to the prestige gained from the Taihua Fairy Fox incident a few years ago, this once remote border town has rapidly developed into a sizable medium-sized city.

Lin Chen was slightly taken aback when he saw the bustling yet somewhat unfamiliar Nine Star City. He didn't make a fuss and went straight to the Ning family.

When Ning Ye, the head of the Ning family, heard that Lin Chen had returned, he was both surprised and delighted. After his servants reported to him, he hurriedly ran out to greet Lin Chen.

"Brother Lin, you're finally back!"

Ning Ye smiled broadly, but when his gaze carefully swept over Lin Chen and he sensed the unfathomable, far more powerful aura than before, his smile instantly turned into shock.
"You...you have this level of cultivation...?!"

He remembered that Lin Chen's level when he left was definitely not as powerful as it is now, which was terrifying. This speed of progress was simply too astonishing!

Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, "This is a long story."

"Come in quickly," Ning Ye hurriedly invited him inside.

Along the way, the two talked about the development of Nine Star City. Ning Ye told Lin Chen that Nine Star City has now been anchored by the Southern Territory and will receive resources to build it into the second largest city in the Southern Territory.

Lin Chen was not surprised by this. With Qin Shaoshao around, Nine Star City was indeed a force to be reckoned with.

At this moment, Lin Chen briefly recounted his experience. When Ning Ye learned about the matter of the God Clan, he stood there dumbfounded.

You mean the Protoss?

Ning Ye thought he had misheard.

Lin Chen nodded and recounted the origins of the God Clan and Li Zhen's story.

"President Li has become so powerful?" Ning Ye's eyes revealed envy.

In the past, Ning Ye might have been envious, but now he could only look on with admiration.

Because Ning Ye is very clear
The stronger Nine Star City is, the safer they will be.

Ning Ye knew the personalities of people like Li Zhen and Lin Chen very well.

However, Ning Ye's joy lasted less than three seconds before he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

"So, does that mean war might be about to break out again?"

"Not only that, the enemy is even stronger than the monsters."
