Chapter 783: Chapter 492: Bai Ling Reveals Herself (Part 2)

"Hmph!"

At this moment, Li Gu let out a cold snort.

As the leader of a clan, even in this situation, he maintained his lofty demeanor.

He looked at Bai Ling and said in a grandiose tone:

"Everything we did back then was for balance, for the eternal stability of the Cangling Ancient Country!"

"Such concern for the common people!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, Bai Ling let out a derisive cold laugh:

"If that’s the case, then today I shall kill you, also for the sake of... the common people!"

After saying this, she didn’t even bother to look at Li Gu again, but merely glanced at the Calamity-Devouring Beast beside her, which was already ravenous.

"Roar——!!!"

Upon receiving its mistress’s command, the Calamity-Devouring Beast immediately opened its maw, like a black hole, unleashing a suction power several times stronger than before.

The suction seemed to be able to devour the heavens and earth, instantly targeting Li Gu, Gu Youshan, and the Patriarchs of the four great families, as well as their severely injured Lifebound Spirit Beasts!

"No——!!!"

"Quick! Stop it now!"

These usually lofty family powerhouses were now completely panicked.

Desperately, they urged their already exhausted Spirit Beasts to resist the irresistible suction.

But it was futile; in the face of absolute power, all struggles seemed pale and weak.

Watching as they were about to follow in the footsteps of previous sacrifices and be completely devoured by the fearsome Demon Beast, just at this critical juncture—

"Roar——!!!!!!!!!!"

A thunderous dragon roar, seemingly from ancient times, suddenly resounded through the sky!

The dragon roar contained a terrifying dragon might capable of suppressing all spirits, forcibly interrupting the devouring spell of the Calamity-Devouring Beast and even forcing the beast, gigantic as a mountain, to retreat several steps!

Everyone was utterly stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Instinctively, they looked towards the direction of the dragon roar.

Behind Gu Ning, a Spirit Dragon appeared, over a hundred meters long, covered entirely in golden dragon scales, exuding an aura of dominion!

Everyone was shocked, even Li Gu and others who had just brushed with death.

"Gu... Gu Ning?!"

"When did... his Spirit Dragon become so powerful?!"

A keen-eyed expert, upon recognizing the pure and staggering aura emanating from the Spirit Dragon, gasped:

"This... this is... the legendary... Ancestral Dragon Qi?!"

Li Gu and the others were now clear; the young National Preceptor they viewed as a mere talented youth needing growth, a pawn used to balance the four family clans, had been hiding his strength!

But now, no matter how shocked or angry they felt, it was already too late.

They even had to pin their last hopes on the Gu Ning they had always overlooked.

"Bai Ling!"

Gu Ning, after summoning his Ancestral Dragon, finally spoke again, his voice loud and righteous, resonating throughout the Celestial Capital City:

"You indulge your Spirit Beast, ravaging lives, endangering the people!"

"Today! I, Gu Ning, will represent the National Master’s Institute to purge heresy and eliminate this traitor!"

"Heh... what a righteous National Preceptor!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling laughed again, the laugh full of undisguised mockery and scorn:

"Gu Ning, oh Gu Ning, there was a time I had some respect for you. But now..."

Her gaze fell on the Ancestral Dragon behind Gu Ning, filled with endless anger:

"I finally understand the teacher’s choice."

"You... Gu Ning, are not fit to be the National Preceptor!"

Seeing these two former academies’ most talented geniuses about to clash, the spectators below began to buzz with discussion.

They all clearly remember that when the old National Preceptor Zhong Nan was choosing disciples, these two were the strongest and most promising candidates.

No one expected that years later, they would meet on the same stage again in this manner.

Only this time, they would wager not the National Preceptor’s inheritance but their lives!

"Roar——!!!"

After being repelled by the Ancestral Dragon’s might, the Calamity-Devouring Beast’s eyes also flashed with an unprecedented heaviness and fighting spirit.

It could clearly sense the essential difference between the golden dragon and previous "food"; it was a foe that posed a real threat!

"Roar——!!!"

Gu Ning’s Spirit Dragon released a dragon roar full of fighting spirit as well.

It had acquired the power of the Ancestor of Dragons, had its own pride, and would not permit any evil creatures to be impudent before it!

In the next moment, the battle erupted!

The Calamity-Devouring Beast initiated the fray, its massive body exhibiting agility contrary to its size.

Its four hooves stomped on the Void, making it seem as if the whole space was dented in.

Using the recoil, it charged at Gu Ning’s Spirit Dragon like a black meteor wielding terrifying power that could shatter stars!

Against this ferocious frontal collision, the Ancestral Dragon did not dodge or evade.

It emitted a roar full of majesty, its enormous dragon claw wrapped in golden Ancestral Dragon Power, directly slamming into the "black meteor"!

Boom——!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A deafening sound, enough to render the entire Celestial Capital City deaf!

The black devouring power and the golden Ancestral Dragon Power clashed fiercely in mid-air!

The terrifying energy storm swept across the battlefield like a category twelve hurricane!

The sky wailed, the earth trembled!

This was already a battle beyond the mundane limits, a divine fight!

....

"Are you saying... Bai Ling?"

The Great Elder asked this question several times.

Lin Chen and Liu Gu nodded.

"Impossible." The Great Elder immediately denied, saying: "You know the incident with the Calamity-Devouring Beast."

"I find it hard to believe this matter..."

Lin Chen spoke slowly.

After the Great Elder learned of the old physician’s abilities, his pupils were shaken too.

The lineage of National Preceptors is indeed mysterious.

Perhaps resurrection is possible after all.

"If this person is truly Bai Ling, then she confirms, the ones who harmed her back then were people of Celestial Capital, thus things make sense now," Lin Chen said.

The Great Elder nodded.

Indeed.

The matter with Bai Ling back then remains without a clue.

Yet the incident most bizarre in the Celestial Capital was that Gu Ning actually agreed to Bai Ling absorbing the power of the Dragon Vein...

Now it seems, the answer is clearer.

The Great Elder looked at Lin Chen, saying: "Your speculation seems reasonable too."

"Here’s the plan, the Divine Race army shouldn’t arrive so soon, you and Liu Gu should go, if it truly is Bai Ling, rescue her." The Great Elder said with a grave and determined look: "Tell her, if this is true, the entire Spirit Academy will disregard everything and campaign against the four families."

"All who were involved in her persecution will die."

"Alright."

Lin Chen nodded.

He indeed had this intention.

Though it’s just speculation, Lin Chen did not want to miss the chance...

What if it really is Bai Ling?

Subsequently, Lin Chen summoned Little Blue Fish, and after issuing a command, Little Blue Fish nodded.

Soon Lin Chen, along with Liu Gu, sat on the back of Little Blue Fish and dove straight into the Spatial Cave.

The Great Elder watched Lin Chen’s disappearing figure and sighed.

Now one wave was not yet over, another arose.

Since Zhong Nan’s departure, wars have continuously erupted in the world...

Is this merely coincidence, or is someone orchestrating it all behind the scenes?
