Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 618 - 410: Ancient Race Invasion

"Why is the teacher asking this question?" Bai Ling was both puzzled and a little scared.

She had always wanted to revive the Calamity-Devouring Beast, but if the cost of reviving it meant killing many people, Bai Ling would never agree.

It’s not that she doesn’t miss the Calamity-Devouring Beast, but she’d rather exchange her own life rather than others’.

The old physician changed his expression and said, "Just asking."

Bai Ling wanted to continue asking questions, but just then a blue light rose from the sea.

Bai Ling was startled, turning her head to look, and immediately saw a Spirit Beast glowing like a butterfly.

"How beautiful. Teacher, what beast is this?" Bai Ling asked.

"It’s called the Sea Butterfly Beast..." The old physician said with a smile, "Your new Spirit Beast has come."

....

Fallen God Mountain Range

The words of the young Divine Race member were like thunderclaps, full of undisguised arrogance and reprimand, instantly igniting the fury in the hearts of all human race experts!

Present were the ancients and elites of the top families of the Cangling Ancient Country, who on normal days were revered by all, commanding complete authority.

But now, they were treated as if they were reprimanded like servants by a mere younger Divine Race member!

Boom—!

Almost at the moment his words fell, led by Gu Youshan and Li Gu, everyone’s suppressed anger was almost uncontrollably about to erupt!

The fierce murderous intent rose to the sky, stirring the air solidified by divine power, competing against the overwhelming divine pressure!

The air seemed to freeze, tension mounting, on the brink of eruption.

The young member of the Divine Race felt the almost tangible murderous intent from below and his expression subtly changed, the dragon beneath him let out a low uneasy growl. He clearly did not expect these "lower realm humans" to be so defiant.

"Hmm?"

The leading Divine Race warrior in the robe of stars uttered a light sound, his sun-like eyes scanning over.

He did not visibly move, yet a more vast and heavy pressure, like an invisible mountain, suddenly weighed down on the hearts of Gu Youshan and others.

Pfft!

Some family experts with weaker cultivation paled on the spot, their vital energy turning turbulent, nearly kneeling, held up only by their indomitable will.

Gu Youshan and Li Gu also had their bodies slightly tremble, their expressions became even more grave.

This Divine Race elder’s strength seemed to be infinitely close to the Immortal Realm.

"The juniors were ignorant and their words offensive, there’s no need for you to be angry."

The Divine Race member in the star robe slowly spoke, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable majesty, "We came forth as agreed, not for disputes."

Though he spoke thus, there was no hint of asking the young Divine Race member to apologize, as if what the latter said was only right and proper.

This kind of casual attitude instead made them feel even more humiliated.

Gu Youshan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the surging anger and murderous intent.

He knew now was not the time for impulsiveness.

Stepping forward, he bowed with neither humility nor arrogance: "Gu Family’s Gu Youshan of the Cangling Ancient Country welcomes the Divine Race as agreed upon. However..."

He shifted his tone, his gaze sharply turning to the Divine Race member in the star robe:

"The centennial agreement is aimed at peaceful coexistence between the two races, not subordination."

"The term ’pay respects’ used by your junior is something we humans cannot accept. I hope you can restrain your tribe members to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."

The Divine Race member in the star robe paused his gaze on Gu Youshan for a moment, without any indication, and directly shifted topics:

"I wonder if you all have received the divine ultimatum?"

At these words, Gu Youshan’s face instantly became extremely grim, his heart sank rapidly.

What was meant to come had ultimately arrived.

He forcibly suppressed the raging waves in his heart, knowing that he absolutely could not show weakness now, sounding a deep tone:

"Ultimatum, we have indeed received it. But the conditions are too harsh, absolutely unacceptable to our human race. The dragon vein is the foundation of our Cangling Ancient Country, certainly impossible to hand over!"

Following the pre-discussed strategy, he tried to show sincerity to gain a turnaround:

"However, to show our human race’s sincerity and prevent war between the two races, we are willing to pledge in front of the Heavenly Dao Stone to permanently abolish and completely remove all foundations and information of the ’Eight Trigrams Nine Cities Plan,’ and promise never to proceed with such ’Artificial Immortal’ plans again."

"With this, in exchange for the continuation of the ’Centennial Agreement’ by the Divine Race, I wonder what you think?"

After saying his piece, Gu Youshan stared intensely at the Divine Race member in the star robe, hoping to see a hint of leniency.

However, upon hearing this, the Divine Race elder’s face revealed a sarcastic smirk, lightly shook his head, his voice still calm but carrying an icy chill:

"Heh... Patriarch Gu, do you think we should trust a dead person’s promise, or a living person’s?"

These words came down like ice water, chilling Gu Youshan and all the human race experts behind him to the bone!

The meaning was no clearer, they simply did not trust the human race’s promises.

Or more accurately, what they wanted was not a promise at all, but complete control over the dragon vein, to eliminate any potential threats to the Divine Race’s rule once and for all.

Gu Youshan erupted in fury, his blood surging, "Do you really want to be so aggressive, even risking a war between the two races, until both sides suffer?!"

The Divine Race elder remained indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about Gu Youshan’s anger, he waved his hand and said calmly:

"Patriarch Gu need not be so agitated. This matter is significant, and not something you and I can decide in a few words today. Our tribe just emerged, this matter can be discussed later."

Upon hearing this, Gu Youshan’s tense heartstrings slightly relaxed.

As long as there is no immediate fallout, there is still time to maneuver and prepare.

But just as his mind eased slightly, beside him, Li Gu suddenly leaned forward and said in a barely audible voice: "Look at their group...no Ancient Race members seem to be here!"

Gu Qing and Gu Xue were killed by him, Li Gu, so he naturally paid extra attention.

Gu Youshan’s heart tightened sharply!

His gaze like lightning, quickly scanning the Divine Race lineup floating in mid-air ahead.

Sure enough, he did not see any red-clad Ancient Race members, and immediately an ominous premonition surfaced in Gu Youshan’s mind.

...

Meanwhile, far away, at the Spirit Academy.

Rumble——!

The originally peaceful sky was suddenly torn apart by several extremely terrifying auras!

Five figures like gods appeared out of thin air, standing in the sky over the Spirit Academy, their mighty pressure like a substantial tsunami, instantly enveloping the entire academy!

Then countless silhouettes appeared behind them, all stepping on a Phoenix, making the temperature around the Spirit Academy rise rapidly in this instant.

Inside the academy, students all heard the commotion, and came out one by one. But when they saw so many Phoenixes appear in the sky, they were all utterly shocked, and began to discuss among themselves.

"What is this?"

"Not sure, is it a Beastmaster’s same-kind parade?"

"Why do I feel they come with hostility..."

Just then, the leading elder spoke, his voice echoing across the academy’s sky:

"Divine Race has emerged, little Tree Spirit, aren’t you coming out to greet them?"
