Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 559 - 351: The Ruins Open Again

Lin Chen’s identity is not what it used to be.

Although Qin Shaoshao hasn’t made a statement, everyone knows that Qin Shaoshao is only close to Lin Chen.

This relationship is the reason Qin Shaoshao is willing to stay in Jiuxing City.

Combined with Lin Chen’s talent and the status of a Spirit Academy elder, Lin Chen can be said to be the greatest influence in Jiuxing City now, and that’s not an exaggeration.

The events he’s been through far surpass those most have.

After all, not everyone has the qualifications to match the Nine Netherworld Snake in a move.

"It’s ruined..."

Lee Gao counted the numbers and found the Immortal Fox Energy Bodies had been distributed, which means Lin Chen didn’t get any.

"It’s good that he returned safely."

Ning Ye didn’t hope for more.

Just as he finished speaking, he noticed Qin Shaoshao’s eyebrows slightly raise.

Ning Ye looked over and saw Lin Chen’s figure appear.

At this moment, he also breathed a sigh of relief, quickly walking forward.

"Is this person Lin Chen?"

"Looks like it’s really him."

"This Jiuxing City is his hometown, it’s not surprising to see him here."

Lin Chen’s appearance caused quite a stir.

This is indeed a rare sight for them...

After all, many families now refer to Lin Chen as a positive example, just like the proverbial ’other people’s child.’

"Wait, what’s that fireball on his shoulder that looks like a child?"

"Fire Spirit! It’s the Fire Spirit!"

...

With that shout, the crowd became instantly agitated.

Upon hearing about the Fire Spirit, many people’s eyes lit up.

This Fire Spirit is even rarer than Spirit Beasts with good bloodlines because it can be refined, contracted, and its potential is boundless.

It lacks bloodline power so it can be allowed to cultivate on its own and comprehend the world’s essence.

Seeing Lin Chen having obtained such an earthly treasure, naturally many people’s eyes turned red with envy.

Ning Ye, who was prepared to offer comforting words, was momentarily stunned upon hearing about the Fire Spirit.

He looked incredulously at Lin Chen, and indeed saw the Fire Spirit. Suddenly, he thought of something, quickly moving to Lin Chen’s side and quietly asking, "Could it be that..."

Before finishing his sentence, Lin Chen nodded.

"Sure, besides the Tianyi True Fire, what other Anomalous Fire could become sentient?" Ning Ye took a deep breath and then grew tense.

Due to the Fire Spirit’s appearance, many people’s eyes instantly turned fiery, greed reflected in their gaze towards Lin Chen.

At this very moment, Qin Shaoshao silently appeared beside Lin Chen, and with that, countless desires instantly faded away.

Yet, the greatest emotional shift wasn’t among them, but with...

The Ning Family ancestor Lee Gu.

Lee Gu had always hoped for Li Wang’s appearance, having already considered Li Wang as the heir to the Lee Family.

The Gu Family has Gu Ning, the Yin Family has Yin Changsheng, and the Lee Family too must have someone step up...

Otherwise, the Lee Family will fall behind.

Thus, upon learning of the Taihua relic site opening, Lee Gu immediately tore through space and brought Li Wang here, targeting the Tianyi True Fire.

"Did Wang’er not obtain the Tianyi True Fire?" Lee Gu’s face darkened.

In his view, with Li Wang’s abilities, capturing the Tianyi True Fire should have been extremely easy.

....

Lin Chen also noticed Lee Gu’s presence as well as the greedy gazes of others.

But there was no choice; he hadn’t intended to come out so early, but space directly sent him out.

Meaning this relic site was about to close again.

"It’s closed."

Suddenly, someone shouted.

Immediately, some people grew anxious.

Space closing means those who haven’t come out are left inside forever.

The relic site, inherently is a place where life and death are left to fate.

This kind of place offers the greatest rewards but is the most dangerous too.

Many started mourning the relatives still inside, and at that moment Lee Gu suddenly ascended, appearing before Lin Chen, questioning, "Where is Li Wang?"

Lin Chen’s pupils constricted sharply.

What’s meant to happen has come. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Yet, he feigned ignorance, asking in return, "What is the senior talking about?"

"I’m asking, where is Li Wang." Lee Gu’s voice carried murderous intent.

Qin Shaoshao frowned, directly standing in front of Lin Chen to shield him from this aura.

But Lee Gu’s expression remained unchanged, saying, "Celestial Spirit Body, you cannot block me."

Qin Shaoshao threatened to draw out a green leaf.

Lin Chen said, "Senior, if you’re coveting my Fire Spirit, just say so directly. I don’t know anything about Li Wang."

Lin Chen was very shrewd.

If Qin Shaoshao and Liu Gu fought, ultimately they’d lose.

Yet Lee Gu had no evidence to suggest Lin Chen killed Li Wang.

To avoid exposure, Lin Chen took none of what Li Wang left behind.

Others who heard this began to discuss.

In their view, Lin Chen’s explanation was reasonable.

Who wouldn’t want something like the Fire Spirit?

"Li Wang went for the Fire Spirit. Since you’ve obtained the Fire Spirit, it’s impossible not to have seen him." Lee Gu locked eyes on Lin Chen and said.

Lin Chen cupped his hands, saying, "Senior, I once fought several seniors inside..."

Lin Chen pointed to those who had competed for the Immortal Fox Energy Body with him earlier, saying, "They can testify for me."

"Later, I unintentionally sensed the Fire Spirit, and then left."

"Speaking of which, the Fire Spirit seems to have a bond with me, as it followed me of its own accord."

Having said this, Lin Chen released the Fire Spirit, which cooperatively leapt onto his head and even kissed Lin Chen’s hair.

"It’s burning, it’s burning..."

Lin Chen hurriedly extinguished the fire, causing everyone to become more envious.

The Fire Spirit’s gaze towards Lin Chen didn’t seem conquered; it truly resembled voluntarily recognizing a master.

Lee Gu’s expression became increasingly uncertain.

If Lin Chen’s words were true, then where did Li Wang go?

With his strength, it shouldn’t have come to this, dying inside.

Although the Divine Fox he took was only level 55, combined with his abilities and Beast Taming Divine Skill...

"Has anyone seen Li Wang?"

As Lee Gu spoke, he gazed around.

At this moment, no one spoke.

Because, they truly didn’t know.

However, someone whispered, "Even if we’ve seen him, now we wouldn’t dare admit it."

....

The atmosphere grew eerie, Lee Gu still regarded Lin Chen as the prime suspect.

Then Ning Ye spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, the relic site matter is settled. I maintain that Jiuxing City is a city that loves peace and hopes everyone will uphold its rules."

Many nodded.

At this point, many matters were already decided.

And the way Jiuxing City handled the relic site issue indeed earned favor from many people.

Afterward, quite a few people departed.

Lin Chen also followed Qin Shaoshao and left.

Lee Gu continued watching Lin Chen’s departing figure, deep in thought.

Now, he strongly suspected Lin Chen committed the murder.

But why would Li Wang lose to Lin Chen?

Upon arriving at the Monster Hunter Guild, Ning Ye spoke, "For the time being, you ought not to leave Young Master Qin’s side, this old man likely has his eyes on you."

"Isn’t the Patriarch Ning curious?" Lin Chen asked Ning Ye.

Unexpectedly, Ning Ye laughed loudly and said, "The truth isn’t important; what’s important is... this Fire Spirit originally belongs to Jiuxing City."
