Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 421 Ancient Clan Reinforcements
"I do not understand what you are saying."

Gu Youshan remained expressionless, pretending to know nothing about what Xuan Yuanzhou was referring to.

Xuanyuan Zhou then let out a cold laugh, his voice suddenly turning sharp:

"Why pretend to be confused, Patriarch Gu?"

"In the past, in order to deal with the Nine Netherworld Serpent, your Heavenly Capital did not hesitate to use an ancient forbidden formation to forcibly drive the core power of the dragon vein, causing the dragon vein to tremble and its vital energy to be damaged!"

"This is an undeniable fact, how can it be denied?"

His gaze swept over the human representatives present, with a condescending scrutiny:

"Back then, our divine race, mindful of the difficulties humanity faced in multiplying and its large population, needed the dragon vein to recuperate and thrive. Therefore, out of compassion, we entrusted the dragon vein to you for safekeeping and management. But what you have done now is truly disappointing!"

Gu Youshan retorted in a deep voice:
"The Nine Nether Serpent wreaked havoc on the common people, turning cities into ruins wherever it passed, and turning countless people into food! The situation was critical at the time, and if we hadn't used the power of the dragon vein, the casualties would have been incalculable! What we did was to save more people, so what was wrong with that?"

"Save the common people?" Xuan Yuanzhou scoffed, his voice even colder. "Then do you admit that you have abused the power of the Dragon Vein?!"

This question gets straight to the heart of the matter.

Gu Youshan was speechless for a moment, his brows furrowed.

No matter how much you say, it all boils down to the fact that the gods are beginning to fear this power.

Furthermore, there are too few top experts among the human race, which makes the gods somewhat unscrupulous.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Zhou's momentum intensified, and he pressed his advantage in pursuit:
"Gu Youshan, our divine race is not greedy for dragon veins, but only hopes that this land can be protected by the Heavenly Dao forever."

"The dragon vein has not been truly damaged; the Imperial Academy has already investigated it!" Gu Youshan argued.
"Moreover, it was Zhong Nan who spearheaded the operation of the formation back then! Most of us were against it at the time! These decision-making records and information can all be found in the Heavenly Capital Archives!"

Xuanyuan Zhou pressed on relentlessly, his tone aggressive.

"You think you can shirk all responsibility by simply saying 'it was Zhong Nan's doing'? Are you suggesting we question a dead man?"

The atmosphere inside the tent instantly became extremely tense. The representatives of both sides glared at each other, their spiritual energy surging, as if a conflict could erupt at any moment.

In the end, it was Xuanyuan Zhou who softened his tone slightly, but the content remained firm:

“Our divine race is not unreasonable, and we do not necessarily have to immediately reclaim all the dragon veins.”

He then changed the subject and revealed the real goal:

"However, in order to ensure that the dragon veins are no longer abused or damaged by the human race, the core control of the main dragon vein centered on Tiandu and its eight connected branch dragon veins must be transferred to our divine race. This is our bottom line!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Youshan was so angry that he laughed instead:

"Heh, control of the Heavenly Capital and the Eight Great Dragon Veins? Elder Xuanyuan, how is this any different from directly seizing the foundation of my Cangling Ancient Kingdom's destiny? Such conditions are no different from forcing our human race to submit directly to your divine race!!"

Xuanyuan Zhou squinted and said with a forced smile:
"These are the conditions. Patriarch Gu, please consider them carefully. I hope to hear your wise reply at the next meeting."

The meeting ended unhappily, and immediately afterward, Gu Feng found Xuan Yuanzhou.

"I have already sent a message back to the clan, requesting reinforcements," Gu Feng said with a gloomy face.

Xuanyuan Zhou was slightly surprised: "You've decided to take action again so quickly?"

“That’s right!” Gu Feng’s eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Our ancient clan will avenge the humiliation suffered by the Spirit Academy! This time, we will raze the Spirit Academy to the ground and leave no one alive!"

This time, the Ancient Clan suffered such a great loss at the Spirit Academy, losing their most promising disciple and many clansmen. If they cannot avenge this defeat, the Ancient Clan's prestige within the Divine Clan will be greatly diminished.

Xuanyuan Zhou pondered for a moment and then said, "Do you need our assistance?"

He was happy to see the ancient race and the human race clash head-on, as it would both deplete the human race's strength and test their capabilities.

In fact, Xuanyuan Zhou and the high-ranking members of the Divine Race were happy to see this happen. Although the Divine Race's top forces were strong, the human race was numerous. If a full-scale war broke out, the Divine Race would also pay a heavy price. They still had lingering fears about the several tragic "wars between humans and gods" in history.

The higher-ups prefer to use pressure and localized conflicts to force the human race to submit and smoothly take over the dragon vein.

"No need!" Gu Feng refused decisively, his face bearing the pride and stubbornness of the ancient clan. "It's just a small spiritual academy. They only managed to get it by luck last time!"

"Once all the elites of my ancient clan are deployed, crushing them will be as easy as turning my hand!"

"This grudge must be avenged by my ancient clan!"

Seeing Gu Feng's resolute attitude, Xuan Yuanzhou said nothing more, but simply nodded: "In that case, I wish Elder Gu Feng a swift success."

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Southern Monster Hunter Guild.

After the resolution was passed, Chen Ming immediately began to mobilize troops.

The guild was extremely efficient; in a short period of time, an elite support force had been assembled.

The main force consists of four "Beast Taming Kings" who possess powerful level 90 spirit beasts. In addition, there are as many as eighteen Beast Tamers with spirit beasts of level 80 or above!

This force, if placed anywhere, would be enough to cause a huge upheaval, demonstrating the Monster Hunter Guild's determination to provide assistance.

Chen Ming decided to personally lead the team to the Spirit Academy, temporarily entrusting the guild's daily affairs to a senior vice president.

That evening, Lin Chen found Ning Ye and informed him of their upcoming departure.

"Be careful." Ning Ye looked at Lin Chen with a complicated expression, and finally condensed all his words into a single admonition, "If... if things really can't be saved, and we really can't hold on, then save your life first. As long as you're alive, you can always make a comeback."

Lin Chen cupped his hands and said solemnly, "Patriarch Ning, rest assured, I know what I'm doing. I'm entrusting Nine Star City to you."

Under Ning Ye's worried gaze, Lin Chen, Chen Ming, and the elite forces of the Monster Hunter Guild quietly left Nancheng under the cover of night, speeding towards the Spirit Academy.

The Ancient World.

This place is like a fairyland, with divine plants and herbs everywhere, spiritual energy flowing into streams, and even the air is filled with a refreshing fragrance.

Over a long period of time, with the "support" of the human race, the gods' wealth and extravagant lifestyle far exceeded outsiders' imagination.

"What? You lost? Gu Feng's team actually failed?"

The speaker was an elderly man of similar age to Gu Feng, dressed in a crimson robe embroidered with a burning phoenix totem.

Upon hearing the report from the divine messenger below, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his face was filled with disbelief.

Previously, when a large number of tokens suddenly shattered in the Soul Lamp Hall of the clan, he had a premonition that something big had happened, but he never expected that the attack on the Spirit Academy had really failed.

His name was Gu Zheng, one of the four elders of the ancient clan, holding a prestigious position and wielding immense power.

"Yes, yes, Elder Gu Zheng," the kneeling divine messenger replied tremblingly.

"Elder Gu Feng hopes the clan can send reinforcements, firstly to avenge their humiliation, and secondly to seize the Spirit Academy and obtain the Dragon Vein. Furthermore, it seems a Phoenix Arm has appeared within the Spirit Academy."

"Phoenix Arm?!" Upon hearing this, Gu Zheng's expression, which had been filled with shock and anger, instantly changed. A terrifying light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and even his breathing became a little rapid!
Phoenix Arms!
This thing actually appeared among the humans?

Gu Zheng's pupils revealed a greedy look.
Both he and Gu Feng faced the same problem: lifespan.

If this phoenix arm is truly formed from the blood of Nirvana, then it is an immense opportunity for him.

After all, the Phoenix Arm is a transplantable bone graft.
