At first, Zhang Jin also thought that this file would be handed over to Bai Ling.
Zhong Nan might be paving the way for Bai Ling, wanting her to establish authority on her first day of ascension.
Who would have thought that it was ultimately given to Gu Ning.
"Could it be that the teacher already sensed at the ti that the one to ascend would be Gu Ning?" Zhang Jin pondered, but he could only sigh.
He had already anticipated that Gu Ning would not make this file public.
Zhang Jin would not disclose it either.
The Cangling Ancient Country is undergoing a transition between National Preceptors, and suddenly exposing the situation of the Gu Family would surely harm Gu Ning’s prestige.
Moreover, once Zhang Jin exposes it, the issue might quickly be suppressed, and Zhang Jin would attract life-threatening danger.
Now that Zhong Nan is gone, there is no one who can protect Zhang Jin’s life.
Zhang Jin sighed with considerable disappointnt because he didn’t know whether the dream he persisted in could continue.
He eventually left, and just as he departed, a dragon’s roar echoed from behind. Zhang Jin didn’t look back, but he already knew that the new National Preceptor Gu Ning had ascended, and the era of Zhong Nan was over.
...
Lin Chen had already entered the Southern Territory of the Cangling Ancient Country, still quite far from Jiuxing City.
During this period, the changes in the Cangling Ancient Country have been so great that they have affected the managent of various cities.
The new National Preceptor taking office surprisingly involves changes of so Beast Tar Guild presidents in certain cities.
Lin Chen sees this and isn’t surprised, he ignores these affairs and only wants to return to Jiuxing City as soon as possible.
"...Alright, five thousand."
Lin Chen had negotiated a price with a caravan, which was heading to South City, and agreed to let Lin Chen travel with their Gale Beast.
The captain of the caravan was nad Xie Wang, and his temperant was quite good.
Throughout the journey, Lin Chen rarely communicated with them, considering his special identity, afraid to invite trouble without cause.
"Little brother, really not eating?" Xie Wang walked over, holding a beast’s leg.
Lin Chen shook his head.
Xie Wang thought Lin Chen feared he might poison him, so he cut off a piece with a knife and ate it directly, then handed it to Lin Chen.
At this, Lin Chen couldn’t refuse any longer.
Xie Wang sat beside him, chatting about daily life, and Lin Chen then learned that Xie Wang used to belong to the Monster Hunter Guild.
"What a pity, now I can only escort cargo," Xie Wang said with a smile, "Back then, I was a gold-dal captain."
Hearing this, Lin Chen smiled.
It seems not everyone has lost those mories.
Xie Wang didn’t speak more, understanding that Lin Chen was still cautious towards them, so he left.
Having eaten his fill, Lin Chen intended to rest for a while, but as night fell, a beast’s roar suddenly awoke him.
Lin Chen’s eyes widened, suddenly feeling the Gale Beast bumping up and down, and upon seeing, he was dumbfounded.
The Gale Beast’s head had been severed, and it was plumting downward in a dive.
In the distance, Xie Wang simultaneously shouted, "Little brother, be careful."
Lin Chen turned around and frowned deeply.
In the sky, a gigantic eagle demon was staring at him.
On Lin Chen’s Gale Beast were goods and no other people, so now all the cargo spilled below.
Xie Wang, initially attempting rescue, was now surrounded by a dense array of demon beasts.
Lin Chen instantly summoned Little Blue Fish, grasped its tail, and as soon as Lin Chen steadied himself, the eagle demon charged toward him.
In air, Lin Chen couldn’t summon Xiaobai, so he summoned Xiao Hong instead.
The Little Fox appeared and jumped directly onto Lin Chen’s head, seeing the rapidly charging eagle demon, it beca furious.
A re Level 40 eagle demon dares to bully its Beastmaster?
It was blazing with anger, imdiately transforming into Seven-Tailed Holy Fox form. The eagle demon initially saw Lin Chen summon Little Blue Fish, which lacked any attack ability, thinking it could easily consu Lin Chen. Only upon sensing the Little Fox’s intimidation did it panic and attempt to flee, but now it was too late.
The Little Fox unleashed a High-Speed Fla Burst instantly, and the eagle demon t its demise.
Seeing this, Lin Chen was quite satisfied.
Nowadays, the Little Fox’s awareness has greatly improved. If it had used a Super Fireball or Flaming Storm just now, the eagle demon would have easily evaded.
With the aid of Little Blue Fish, Lin Chen successfully landed; at this mont, they fell into a forest.
Lin Chen was about to wait for Xie Wang to co reclaim their cargo when he heard sounds of combat from the forest, followed by human shouts.
Lin Chen froze.
Among Xie Wang’s caravan, the highest Level Spirit Beast was Level 65, making them a strong caravan.
It seems this ti the demon beasts are not simple.
After so thought, Lin Chen decided to take a look, and when he arrived, sure enough, he saw Xie Wang’s team surrounded with casualties.
The ones besieging them were led by a Level 70 demon beast.
"This is a protected area of the Human Race, you demons have crossed the boundary..." Xie Wang shouted loudly.
Lin Chen rembered Xie Wang had ntioned during dinner that a large city was not far ahead.
According to the usual behavior of the Demon Race, they rarely dare to commit any heinous acts near big cities. This incident indeed defies norms.
Lin Chen originally didn’t want to interfere, but when preparing to leave, he recalled the lean leg Xie Wang offered, and finally couldn’t resist.
However, Lin Chen didn’t intend to risk himself.
So after giving so instructions to the Little Fox, he had Little Blue Fish send him to the top of a tree trunk.
