Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 547 - 339: Immortal Beast Ruins Beneath Jiuxing City
[Dubhe Pavilion Announcement]
[Mandated by Heaven, bestowed upon the people. Dubhe Pavilion exercises the right to represent the Human Race, hereby announcing to all heavens and realms]
[Since the chaos befell the world, all regions of the Human Race have united, fighting and bleeding as one.]
[Today, destiny favors us, and the larger trend is set. Therefore, under the witness of the Heavenly Dao, we gather the kings of the Demon Race atop the Cloud Severing Summit of Celestial Realm Mountain, establishing this eternal treaty. Its terms are clear for Heaven and Earth to witness.]
[First, the Demon Race is to immediately withdraw from areas such as the Myriad Miasma Swamp, Bone Wasteland, and Desolate Forest Sea, totaling seventeen forbidden zones. They shall forever renounce any intention to claim these lands, which shall return to the stewardship of the Human Race.]
[Second, to compensate for the devastation of war and the suffering of living beings, the Demon Race shall cede thirty percent of earth vein crystal mines, fifty percent of star iron ore mines, seven sources of ethereal spirit springs, ten deposits of blood essence stones, and numerous spirit eggs. These resources will be distributed according to the "Five Directions Equally Beneficial" method set by Dubhe Pavilion.]
[Third, the Demon Race must dissolve their two major Secret Realms within three months.] 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
[Fourth, the former Monster Hunter Guild was disbanded due to the Demon Race’s actions. Achieving numerous war exploits this time, it is officially re-established and will function as an independent force, not under the management of Dubhe Pavilion or the Beast Tamer Guild. It is hoped that they will continue to uphold the spirit of protecting the Human Race.]

The content generally aligned with the negotiations, but Lin Chen was quite surprised by the fourth clause, saying, "It seems Gu An and the others aren’t foolish."
"Of course not foolish," the Great Elder said. "The reconstruction of the Monster Hunter Guild is inevitable. By voicing support, they can gain a wave of goodwill."
"But behind the scenes, they will definitely suppress it. You shall see, the Beast Tamer Guild is bound to reform as well."
Lin Chen nodded.
This time, the Celestial Capital mishandled the demon chaos, causing outrage among the people and gods. Therefore, the Celestial Capital must take action to regain public trust.
However, having lost the hearts of the people, it’s challenging to win them back.
These matters didn’t concern Lin Chen much; he mentioned Lee Zhen’s situation, which surprised the Great Elder, saying, "He’s truly awakened."
The Great Elder knew that the chances of obtaining the Phoenix Arm were extremely slim.
"If that’s the case, why not let him come back to the Spirit Academy with me," the Great Elder suggested.
Lin Chen was taken aback.
"The Tree Ancestor knows how to cultivate this Phoenix Arm, having once had a good relationship with a Phoenix. The Spirit Academy also has a manual for using the Phoenix Arm," the Great Elder said.
"That’s great," Lin Chen said cheerfully.
The next day, he told Lee Zhen about this. The latter was excited but a bit embarrassed, saying, "Wouldn’t that be inappropriate?"
"That’s why you need to become strong," Lin Chen said. "Make sure the Spirit Academy’s investment is worthwhile."
"Alright."
Lee Zhen wiped his sweat but his gaze became more determined.
Lin Chen had now given him a key to becoming stronger, and he intended to grasp it tightly.
This beast chaos illustrated one thing...
This Blue Star is not peaceful.
.....
That evening, everyone had a feast at Sun Ji’s home, as the Celestial Realm Mountain 3.0 treaty had concluded. They would soon depart from here.
Lin Chen planned to return to South City first because there were numerous affairs to attend to there.
Lin Chen intended to aid in rebuilding Jiuxing City before making further plans.
The southern region suffered the most severe damage, so the agreement stipulated that they would receive war reparation resources from the Demon Race first.
This time, Lin Chen needed to discuss with Chen Ming how to allocate and use the resources.
As for Lee Zhen, he was to follow the plan and return to the Spirit Academy with the Great Elder.
Before leaving, the Great Elder reminded Lin Chen to keep a low profile lately and to stay close to Qin Shaoshao.
"Understood."
Lin Chen bowed and bid farewell to the Great Elder and others that evening.
Lin Chen wasn’t in a hurry to depart; he waited until the next morning to say goodbye to Sun Ji.
"Doctor Sun, thank you," Lin Chen bowed.
Looking at Lin Chen, Sun Ji smiled and said, "I helped you not just because of that old man Yu Xiu, but because you remind me of the youthful vigor of our group in those days."
As Sun Ji spoke, his eyes turned nostalgic.
In the past, he and Zhong Nan and others fought for the country, leading to the current Cangling Ancient Country.
Lin Chen, however, said, "I’m not as noble as you say. I simply acted without violating my conscience."
"Well said."
The more Sun Ji looked at Lin Chen, the more he liked him.
If his daughter weren’t already married, he would have introduced her to Lin Chen.
The two bowed and said goodbye, and Lin Chen set off with Qin Shaoshao back to South City.
....
Throughout the journey, Lin Chen and Qin Shaoshao kept a low profile, dealing with as little as possible.
When he returned to South City, he could see that its reconstruction had improved significantly compared to when he left.
Today’s South City was not only expanded but also, according to Chen Ming’s blueprint, set to become the strongest fortress in the south, as well as the headquarters for the Monster Hunter Guild.
".... Besides, we need to rationally distribute other cities, so they can quickly come to South City for refuge if another beast chaos occurs, and we can support them rapidly. Some cities need to be relocated." Chen Ming was busy yet very competent as both chairman and city lord.
Lin Chen reviewed his proposal and found it very reasonable.
Returning home that evening, Lin Chen shared the events at Celestial Realm Mountain with him, and Chen Ming was overjoyed to hear about Lee Zhen’s awakening of the Phoenix Arm.
"In that case, before Chairman Lee returns, the branch in Jiuxing City will be temporarily managed by you," Chen Ming said.
"Alright."
Lin Chen didn’t refuse.
Currently, his reputation in Jiuxing City was quite high, and to rebuild the city, someone needed to step up.
Lin Chen had also realized he couldn’t do it alone and needed the Ning Family’s support.
Just as Ning Ye had some matters to attend to in Jiuxing City, Lin Chen sent someone to notify him to meet and then return to Jiuxing City together.
Unexpectedly, Ning Ye visited late at night.
"Patriarch Ning, why the sudden rush to return?" Lin Chen was surprised.
As Ning Ye had mentioned returning the next day.
But now, Ning Ye was carrying large bags, clearly prepared to leave.
Ning Ye glanced around, appearing very secretive.
"What’s going on?" Lin Chen asked.
"Do you know about the blueprint that has repeatedly failed to sell at the Jiuxing City auction?" Ning Ye inquired.
Lin Chen, taken aback, thought for a moment and quickly recalled.
He had indeed seen that unsold blueprint when he and Lee Zhen helped Qin Shaoshao find a Spirit Beast.
"Could it be that the blueprint is genuine?" Lin Chen became alert.
Because the blueprint was labeled as the relic of the Immortal Beast Divine Fox.
Ning Ye lowered his voice and said, "I just received news that someone accidentally found an entrance during the reconstruction of Jiuxing City. It appears to be the entrance to the Immortal Beast Divine Fox’s relic."
