Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand

At last, Bai Ling used her final strength to summon all her Spirit Beasts.

The Calamity-Devouring Beast and the other Spirit Beasts appeared and, seeing Bai Ling in such a state, rushed over, letting out mournful cries.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ling said to Lin Chen, "Lin Chen, there’s something I’d like to ask of you."

"Go ahead."

"I haven’t made many peers, nor do I have many I can trust." Bai Ling looked at her Spirit Beasts and said, "After I leave, can you take care of them for me?"

Lin Chen was taken aback, looking at the Calamity-Devouring Beast and the Unicorn. He closed his eyes and eventually nodded.

Seeing Lin Chen nod, Bai Ling turned her head to the Calamity-Devouring Beast and said, "Did you hear that, Xiu Xiu? From now on, you’ll be with Lin Chen and the others. You’re the leader, you have to keep Jiaojiao and the others in line, listen to Lin Chen...."

"Gua!"

The Calamity-Devouring Beast let out a calm call.

Among her four Spirit Beasts, it was the calmest.

Bai Ling told Lin Chen she wanted to find a place where no one would disturb them, to quietly spend her final moments with the Calamity-Devouring Beast and the others.

The Great Elder summoned Spirit Beasts and raised a wall around them to block others’ view.

Gu Ning and the others did not leave but stood quietly at a distance.

What was happening inside, they could still vaguely sense.

Although Bai Ling’s fate was sealed, they were naturally suspicious people. If they didn’t see Bai Ling die with their own eyes, their hearts couldn’t be at ease.

An Immortal Venerable, such a figure could sweep the country by themselves.

....

Lin Chen and the other two stood outside the wall, during which the three men did not exchange a word.

What was once a perfect conclusion took such a turn.

They were pondering:

Was this truly the aftermath of the Eight Trigrams and Nine Cities, or a plot laid by the Celestial Capital?

After some time, the Great Elder suddenly spoke, "If this matter is not investigated clearly, I cannot find peace in my life."

Lin Chen and Liu Gu nodded.

The matter was filled with suspicious points and must be thoroughly investigated.

At this moment, a beastly roar came from inside, and Lin Chen and the others looked in, their pupils dilating.

At this moment, Bai Ling was coughing up blood, her white clothes stained with black blood.

When Lin Chen rushed over, Bai Ling weakly said, "I’m leaving."

Lin Chen didn’t know what to say.

Bai Ling smiled again, saying to the Calamity-Devouring Beast, "Xiu Xiu, farewell, my Xiu...."

After speaking, she was about to close her eyes when suddenly the Calamity-Devouring Beast enlarged rapidly, its belly growing enormous, as it opened its mouth aiming at Bai Ling.

The Great Elder and Liu Gu were startled and were just about to stop it, but Lin Chen stopped them.

"Xiu Xiu, are you going to...." Lin Chen vaguely sensed something.

At that moment, the Calamity-Devouring Beast opened its mouth wide and swallowed Bai Ling whole.

Just then, it sat cross-legged like a human.

In an instant, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and black lightning appeared!

...

"Black?!"

The Great Elder was startled, seeing the color of the lightning.

Legend has it that black lightning only appears when defying the natural order.

Could it be...

The Great Elder and Lin Chen exchanged a look.

They shared the same thought.

The Calamity-Devouring Beast was extending Bai Ling’s life.

Bai Ling’s fortune was actually very poor, and her destiny began to change from the moment she met the Calamity-Devouring Beast.

The Calamity-Devouring Beast was Bai Ling’s destined partner.

One could say they complemented each other.

Now, the Calamity-Devouring Beast was defying fate to grant Bai Ling another life.

Upon understanding this, the Great Elder and the others quickly left their original positions but stayed on the periphery, guarding the area.

At this time, Gu An and the others arrived.

"What happened?" Gu An asked.

"Nothing," the Great Elder replied expressionlessly.

But this couldn’t fool their eyes, and Li Hai spoke, "This Calamity-Devouring Beast wants to devour an Immortal Venerable’s body to complete its evolution."

"No, it’s saving her," the Great Elder responded loudly.

"Who can know?" Li Hai loudly asserted, "What if it’s after Bai Ling’s power as an Immortal Venerable, evolving into a Demon Beast, who would bear the responsibility?"

"Even so, this world was saved by Bai Ling, for her Spirit Beasts to inherit her cultivation would not be unreasonable."

"Yu Xiu, the Human Race has just gone through a great war; we cannot take such a risk," Gu An declared righteously.

The Great Elder’s pupils dilated as he sneered, "In the end, you don’t want her to live."

"We are doing this for the Cangling Ancient Country."

As Gu An spoke, he glanced at Li Hai and Gu Ning, then turned to Yin Liao of the Yin Family, "What do you think?"

Yin Liao remained silent.

He had been unclear about the entire situation all along.

But he too worried about whether the Calamity-Devouring Beast would change drastically after evolution, losing its master.

"I will not participate," Yin Liao said only this as he backed away.

And in a mutual glance, Gu Ning and the others immediately summoned their Spirit Beasts.

They knew this move was reckless and might reveal flaws to the Great Elder and others.

But they had no choice.

Bai Ling absolutely could not be allowed to survive.

If healed, with her impeccable cultivation, who could face her?

After all, they had once used the Immortal Binding Skill on Bai Ling.

Seeing the three taking action, the Great Elder also summoned his Spirit Beasts, but with Lin Chen and Liu Gu being weaker in combat, and his Spirit Beasts injured, they couldn’t stop their attack.

Just as the beasts of the three were about to bypass the Great Elder and charge at the Calamity-Devouring Beast, a tree root broke through the void and swiftly repelled Gu Ning and their Spirit Beasts.

The Great Elder looked up joyfully, exclaiming, "Tree Ancestor, the Tree Ancestor is here!"

A moment later, a green figure appeared, walking through the air, formally in its human form, the Tree Ancestor.

It landed in front of the Great Elder, surveying Gu Ning and the others.

"Tree Ancestor, are you gambling with the future of the Cangling Ancient Country?" Gu An questioned.

"If something goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility?"

Unexpectedly, the Tree Ancestor chuckled and said, "My duty is to protect the Spirit Academy, and Bai Ling is someone from the Spirit Academy, thus my charge to protect."

"As for the Cangling Ancient Country, it is not within my protective scope."

"You...." Li Hai was furious.

But with only them here, how could they stand against the Half-Immortal Realm Tree Ancestor?

At this moment, they anxiously watched the position of the Calamity-Devouring Beast, as wave after wave of black heavenly thunder roared down, sometimes like a torrential rain.

The Calamity-Devouring Beast, with its small stature and a large belly, persisted bravely.

Countless times its skin seemed about to tear, yet it held its ground.

"I can do it..."

"I can do it...."

The Calamity-Devouring Beast silently chanted to itself.

Its resolve was firm:

It could die, but Bai Ling could not.

Because she was its everything.
