Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand

Upon hearing this, everyone was visibly shocked.

Lin Chen’s words were truly imposing...

Or rather, he was stating his stance.

Although Chen Ming did not instruct Lin Chen to do this before coming, how could Lin Chen not know?

The Monster Hunter Guild needs to reestablish its position, which requires a strong focal point.

This focal point can also be considered determination.

The others glanced at each other, some were initially prepared to contest, but now had no objections.

The Monster Hunter Guild is nationwide, and if anyone dares to oppose them, it’s uncertain if they would stand together during the next Beast Tide.

So now, all eight positions are filled.

Gu An and the others remained silent, quietly observing the drama.

Then, people sat down in the secondary seats around them.

Finally, Li Hai said, "Lord National Master, the future path of Cangling Ancient Country is to be guided by you, why don’t you speak first?"

Gu Ning nodded, just about to speak.

Unexpectedly, Du Qingqing slammed the table again and said, "Sounds nice, being the National Preceptor, let me say it bluntly, perhaps he might not even be better than me."

"Du Qingqing, what do you mean?" Gu An frowned.

They had already given Du Qingqing face before, didn’t this woman know her limits?

Du Qingqing said without hesitation, "As the National Preceptor, what decision did he make during this Beast Riot?"

"He fortified the Celestial Capital, protecting the wealth and interests of you people."

"But how many people died in this Beast Riot?"

"Ten thousand?"

"Twenty thousand?"

"No, none of those, it was damn over a hundred million."

"So you want to dismiss the National Preceptor?" Gu An said coldly.

Gu Ning’s expression also turned cold and sharp.

"Du Qingqing wouldn’t dare," Du Qingqing said, "I’m just being factual. I’ll leave it here, Gu Ning can speak, but his words can only count as one faction’s opinion, at least until he is recognized by us...."

Many nodded in agreement.

Many chose not to propose dismissing the National Preceptor, mainly because many were considering that Gu Ning had just come to power and his strength was still shallow.

But inaction is inaction, the current Gu Ning is not worthy of the title National Preceptor.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ning felt extremely bitter in his heart.

He had embarked on the path of a National Preceptor just to prove himself, yet even after attaining this position, he still couldn’t avoid such treatment.

He secretly vowed to himself that one day, when he successfully acquired the Ancestral Dragon Power, he would erase all the humiliations he had suffered.

So, he held back and said:

"I believe the Demon Race should abolish prohibited zones and permanently withdraw from Human Race territories."

"Isn’t that just like before?" Du Qingqing was quick-paced, but this also drew many nods from people. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Gu Ning continued, "Besides, we will also demand them to regularly attack Spirit Beast eggs, including Beast King eggs..."

"I oppose."

Lin Chen raised his hand and said.

Everyone looked over, and Lin Chen said, "In the past, I fought tooth and nail at the Beast Fighting Conference and ended up with a Spirit Beast egg."

"Everyone, I am not dissatisfied with this reward, but all the remaining Spirit Dragon Island eggs ended up in the pockets of the Celestial Capital."

"Don’t worry, these spirit eggs will be distributed as rewards across various places," Gu Ning said.

"Are you trying to fool a child?" Lin Chen sneered, "Once swallowed, nothing is spit out easily."

"I think the same," Du Qingqing said, "Our Western Alliance has never seen these things once over the years."

The powers of the Celestial Capital frowned while many local powers nodded in agreement, thinking Lin Chen was right.

"Let’s discuss something substantial, then," Lin Chen said.

"How does President Lin see it?" Li Hai said with a smile.

"It’s simple, the Demon Race must not only abolish prohibited zones but also withdraw from the Eastern Desolate Secret Realm. Furthermore, any super large Secret Realm exceeding five million must be disbanded."

"Since we won, we should make it a one-time solution."

Lin Chen’s words caused an uproar among the crowd.

"These terms are a bit excessive, the Demon Race definitely won’t agree."

"Right."

"Isn’t this asking for their lives?"

"This youngster...is a bit unrealistic."

At this moment, Yin Liao also spoke, "President Lin, they will definitely not agree to this condition."

"I’m well aware," Lin Chen said, "but what I’m saying benefits the people and the nation, instead of turning war compensation into the personal property of some."

"Right."

As Lin Chen’s words fell, there was a continuous chorus of agreement.

"Alright, let’s take this as the direction for discussion," Gu An said.

Li Hai and Gu Ning wanted to speak, but Gu An interrupted them.

The atmosphere for the rest of the meeting became a bit more harmonious.

Ultimately, the focus was placed on war compensation.

The forces of the Celestial Capital still wanted the spirit eggs.

But local forces did not want this, for those eggs were sure not to be theirs.

"How about this," Du Qingqing said, "this time the reward should only go to those with merit."

"Battle achievements, military merits, these are all documented."

"I think it’s feasible."

"If that’s the case, then Immortal Venerable Bai Ling would definitely choose first, right?"

"Haha."

Everyone approved this plan.

The faces of the people from the Celestial Capital turned pale. If it was about military merits, their Celestial Capital barely fought any battles; how much would they get in the end?

However, the local powers knew they couldn’t completely crush the Celestial Capital now, so they also agreed that military merits should be divided into five parts, with the Demon Race supplying for five years.

Rotating regions each year.

The Southern Region being the first year.

The Celestial Capital the last year.

Moreover, the Demon Race must abolish all prohibited zones on the ground and disband two of the three major Secret Realms.

As for other things like not launching Beast Tides higher than a certain level on the Human Race, everyone just laughed it off because the Demon Race had promised such things in the past and failed to fulfill them.

In the latter part of the meeting, things calmed down considerably.

Many felt that this meeting was considered successful.

At the end, Gu An said, "This concludes today’s meeting. Tomorrow, we eight will discuss with the Demon Race according to this plan."

Upon hearing this, everyone prepared to get up and leave.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Gu Ning suddenly said, "Wait."

As he spoke, Gu Ning surprisingly performed the Dragon Transformation Skill and summoned the Spirit Dragon.

Many were stunned by this scene.

Previously, when Du Qingqing spoke of Gu Ning in such a manner, he didn’t get angry.

What was going on now?

Was he planning to settle accounts with Du Qingqing after the fact?

Unexpectedly, Gu Ning pointed directly at Lin Chen and said:

"According to the rules of the National Master’s Institute and the national regulations of Cangling Ancient Country, the Dragon Transformation Skill can only be used personally by the National Preceptor."

"Lin Chen, you violated the rules!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.

What had to come still came.

"This was bestowed by National Preceptor Zhong Nan, and I did not use it for wrongdoing."

"I’m well aware of that," Gu Ning said, rising to the air, "but rules are rules."

As he spoke, he summoned the Spirit Dragon to attack Lin Chen.

Qin Shaoshao was about to intervene, but Lin Chen stopped him, directly summoning Xiaobai, intending to face it alone.

"Just right... I’ll use you to test the Cow Communication Skill I just mastered."
