Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 717 - 462: Shocking the Nation

Under the spatial jump of Little Blue Fish, Lin Chen and his party successfully escaped Snow Dragon Valley.

Without the slightest pause, they sped quickly in the direction of Jiuxing City.

Along the way, the atmosphere seemed somewhat heavy.

The worry on Ning Ye and the others' faces lingered, for the opponent had tracked them to Snow Dragon Valley and most certainly had been to Jiuxing City.

Luckily, after inquiring with people along the way, they found that Jiuxing City had not encountered any conflict, allowing them to breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems the rules set by the Divine Race still hold some sway."

The huge stone in Ning Ye's heart did not settle merely because of this.

Normally, with Jiuxing City as one of Lin Chen's foundations, given the tyrannical style of the Divine Race, the likelihood of taking out their anger on Jiuxing City was extremely high.

Eventually, they stopped their steps outside a small city several hundred miles away from Jiuxing City.

As night fell, a bonfire sprang up, warding off the chill of late autumn.

Lee Zhen took a swig of strong liquor, gazing at the flickering flames, and said in a deep voice:

"It seems the Divine Race is determined to remove you at all costs, even sending the supreme elder."

Lin Chen nodded, his face calm, but his mind already filled with countless thoughts.

After some discussion, he made a decision.

"I've decided not to return to Jiuxing City for now."

As soon as he spoke, everyone was stunned.

Lin Chen explained: "The Divine Race's target is me. This time, the potential Xiao Hei showed will undoubtedly strike a nerve with them."

"If I return, I will only bring endless trouble to Jiuxing City, possibly even a catastrophic disaster."

He paused, turning his gaze to Ning Ye, and continued: "Currently, the Divine Race's target is clear, and they have no intentions against Jiuxing City itself."

"So, temporarily separating is actually the safest for Jiuxing City."

"Luckily, I also plan to head to Nanfen Ancient Country after this Secret Realm expedition, so this is a good time to lay low."

Ning Ye fell silent.

He understood Lin Chen was speaking the truth.

Traveling with Lin Chen this time, he genuinely realized that an insurmountable gap had formed between him and Lin Chen.

Lin Chen faced enemies no more within the reach of the Ning Family or even Jiuxing City.

If not for Lee Zhen fortuitously obtaining the Phoenix Arm, he couldn't possibly keep up with him.

"Alright then…" Ning Ye finally nodded heavily, cupping his hands respectfully, "Take care!"

...

Elsewhere in a mountainous jungle, as the silhouette of the old physician emerged clearly, Bai Ling immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Teacher, thank you."

Her voice carried a sincere sense of gratitude.

The old physician waved his hand, his cloudy eyes holding a hint of smile:

"Now, you can head to the Secret Realm with peace of mind, right?"

Bai Ling nodded firmly.

With Lin Chen safe, the biggest weight on her mind finally settled.

The old physician looked at her, then slowly spoke:

"Actually, you needn't worry too much about him. Lin Chen's growth speed is beyond imagination."

"Unless someone like Ji Lin intervenes, few in this world can take him down now."

Upon hearing such high praise from her teacher, Bai Ling did not deny it, aware of Lin Chen's excellence.

In Bai Ling's heart, Lin Chen was already an undefeatable presence among his peers.

But soon, she spoke with some confusion:

"I just wonder where Xiaobai went. With it, Lin Chen might not have been so embarrassed."

In Bai Ling's eyes, Xiaobai was Lin Chen's most reliable and strongest trump card.

Yet, Xiaobai hadn't shown up at all this time.

The old physician responded, stroking his beard, saying:

"I've just checked, and indeed there is an extremely powerful aura dormant within him, seemingly entering some deep seclusion, unable to be disturbed by the outside world."

He looked at Bai Ling, then suddenly suggested:

"Actually, from what I see of Lin Chen's character, if you were to tell him everything, he might… really help you regardless of the cost."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling's pupils shrank rapidly, her expression becoming extremely complex.

After a long while, she gently shook her head, her voice carrying fatigue and determination that others cannot comprehend:

"Teacher, bearing a sea of blood vengeance is incredibly painful."

"Nobody knows what I'll face upon my next return to Celestial Capital. Lin Chen has helped me far too much before; I can't… drag him into my bottomless abyss any longer."

Seeing her so resolute, the old physician no longer persuaded, only nodding:

"I was merely stating my perspective. Since you've made your decision, then set off."

...

Three days later, the detailed course of the Snow Dragon Valley battle spread throughout Cangling Ancient Country like wildfire!

"Have you heard? Lin Chen single-handedly fought against the Divine Race's Ji Family and the Ancient Race's Gu Family in Snow Dragon Valley!"

"It was more than just fighting! They say his bear directly evolved into a Divine Beast, level ninety-two, and instantly killed a level ninety-four Black Gold Phoenix!"

"Is that true? That's too outrageous!"

"Absolutely true! I know an elder who was there at the scene!"

"Later, the Ji Family's princely heir, Ji Changming, a level ninety-six Divine Tiger, was also taken down by that bear in one move! The scene was earth-shattering!"

"Does Lin Chen not have a single normal Spirit Beast? He's defying fate!"

In taverns, tea houses, and the streets, countless Beastmasters excitedly discussed the earth-shattering battle.

Once again, Lin Chen's name resonated in every corner of the country with unparalleled dominance.
