Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 778 - 490: Celestial Capital Besieged_2

They were like birds trapped in a cage.

They could only watch helplessly, fearing when the Demon Beast would descend again.

Meanwhile, an emergency meeting encompassing the four major families, and all big and small forces within the Celestial Capital, was underway in the council hall of the Dubhe Pavilion.

Li Gu and Gu Youshan sat in the front row.

Li Gu was the first to speak, breaking the silence in the hall:

"Gentlemen, I believe the current situation doesn't need much explanation from me."

"My suggestion is, we must unite and overcome this crisis together!"

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged looks.

The reasoning was clear to all.

But how to unite?

And what do we use to counter the terrifying Demon Beast that isn't even a match for a Pseudo Immortal-level expert?!

The Demon Beast is extremely powerful, capable of taking lives remotely without much effort.

"I propose!"

Gu Youshan stood up and said loudly:

"We must find a way to break that damned Five-Colored Altar above us first!"

"As long as we can open a gap, there will surely be changes in the situation."

However, just as his voice died down, someone immediately reminded:

"Once we act against the Five-Colored Altar, the Demon Beast is bound to appear again!"

"Then, how do we handle it?!"

For a moment, the hall was filled with incessant arguing.

Ultimately, it was Li Gu who slapped the table and said in a deep voice:

"Enough!"

"I propose each of the forces present must dispatch a top expert!"

"Led by us, the four major families!"

"Proactively lure out the Demon Beast!"

"Then the others will seize the opportunity to jointly attack the Five-Colored Altar!"

This proposal, although risky, was the only option at the present.

Upon hearing this, everyone, though still filled with fear, no longer stepped forward to oppose.

At this moment, Gu Youshan turned his gaze towards the young figure who hadn't spoken a word from the start.

"Lord National Master."

Gu Youshan slowly asked:

"What do you think?"

For a moment, all eyes were simultaneously fixed on Gu Ning, sitting in the corner, resting with his eyes closed.

"I have no objections."

Gu Ning slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, he was completely different from before.

During this period, his Ancestral Dragon Power had already reached Great Success!

In truth, among all present, none was a match for him!

Indeed, Gu Ning could say without exaggeration.

His current strength had already surpassed Zhong Nan back then!

However, he was well aware.

The tree stands out in the forest; the wind will surely destroy it.

Without absolute certainty, he didn't intend to reveal all his power prematurely.

"Does Lord National Master's Qi Observation Skill reveal anything?"

Gu Youshan seemed unwilling to let him off easily and continued pressing.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ning slowly shook his head.

"The opponent has blocked the Heavenly Dao."

"Whether the Demon Beast or the Five-Colored Altar above us."

"I cannot decipher its true form."

As soon as those words came out, the crowd began to discuss again.

In truth, when the mysterious Demon Beast attacked the four families, they had asked Gu Ning to use the Qi Observation Skill, but Gu Ning had said the opponent could block the Heavenly Dao.

Meanwhile, Gu Ning silently sighed in his heart.

This time, it might truly be a catastrophe for the Celestial Capital.

He might find it difficult to remain safe as before and continue hiding.

Because he could clearly feel.

The enemy hidden behind the scenes...

Was extremely... extremely...

Powerful!

After all, the opponent could even block the Heavenly Dao.

...

At this moment, chaos had engulfed the Cangling Ancient Country!

The Celestial Capital had been blood-washed by a mysterious Demon Beast, and the entire city was locked down!

Lin Chen stood strong outside the forbidden zone, fiercely slaying three Grand Elders of the Divine Race!

Either of these explosive news, enough to shock the continent, swept through the world like a hurricane almost simultaneously!

"It's bad! It's bad! This time, chaos is inevitable!"

"Another stormy autumn!"

"I say, it's best to find a secluded mountain forest and hide there!"

"Hide? Where can you hide?!"

"The war between the Divine Race and Human Race is unavoidable!"

"In my view, Lin Chen's actions are commendable, satisfying and heartening!"

"How short has the time been? Lin Chen has already grown to the point where he can directly confront the Grand Elders?!"

"Do you think what happened in the Celestial Capital is the Divine Race's retaliation against the Human Race?"

In countless taverns, teahouses, and on every street corner, people were fervently discussing these two monumental events that had the potential to reshape the future!

Everyone had a premonition.

The brief peace had completely ended.

As predicted.

New reports soon arrived from various places.

The once dormant three Divine Races emerged, suddenly grandly appearing in the world, followed by numerous other Divine Race entities.

Although the three Divine Races had yet to make any official statements regarding this matter.

This event had already become an undeniable fact!

The clouds of war had already thoroughly shrouded each person's head!

Simultaneously.

In the council hall of Thunder City's Spirit Academy, Xu Pingzhi and others were dumbfounded after listening to the Great Elder's account of the epic battle outside the forbidden zone.

"You... you killed... three Grand Elders of the Divine Race?!"

After a brief silence.

The entire council hall erupted into thunderous cheers!

Xu Pingzhi passionately slapped the table and praised the kill.

Truth be told, they really didn't wish to see the outbreak of war.

However, they were well aware.

The grudges between them and the Divine Race had long run deep.

This battle was inevitable!

Now, able to first weaken the opponent's elite forces before the war officially begins.

Added to Young Master Qin's safe return and Lin Chen's increasingly remarkable prowess, the Spirit Alliance now is stronger than ever.

For them, this was undoubtedly great news!

"In that case, let's rally the world once more!"

Xu Pingzhi boldly declared.

"Emulate the past and re-establish the 'Spirit Alliance'!"

"I want to see just what kind of storm the Divine Race can stir this time!"

However, just as their enthusiasm reached its peak.

A disciple responsible for intelligence quickly walked in from outside to report solemnly:

"Just received the latest intel from the Celestial Capital!"

"It seems the four families of the Celestial Capital are already preparing to act against the Five-Colored Altar!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen furrowed his brows and responded:

"Have any of the elders ever heard of any records regarding the 'Five-Colored Altar'?"

Xu Pingzhi and the others, all shook their heads in bewilderment.

Only the Great Elder, after a moment of contemplation, slowly said:

"This matter may relate to the lineage of the National Preceptor."

"Back in the days when I fought alongside Zhong Nan, he once mentioned it occasionally."

"That Five-Colored Altar seems to be... used by a Great God in Ancient Times for creating the Heavenly Dao... an Immortal Artifact."

"The Five-Colored Altar is merely a legend, even Zhong Nan hadn't seen it before, only said Gu Wei once told him."

"I just don't understand why it suddenly appeared in the Celestial Capital."

Immortal Artifact?!

Upon hearing this, everyone's heart trembled once more!

At this moment.

Another disciple swiftly entered the room to report, bowing:

"Reporting to the Great Elder!"

"We have found a Beastmaster who once resided on the outskirts of the Celestial Capital near Thunder City..."

"He says... he has seen the appearance of the Demon Beast firsthand."

"Oh?"

The Great Elder instantly stood up and asked eagerly.

"Can he draw its appearance?"

"Yes!"

The disciple confidently replied:

"I have already paid to have him draw the appearance of the Demon Beast."

Having said that, he pulled out a scroll from his bosom, slowly unfolding it...
