Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 757 - 480: Deep Within the Forbidden Zone (Part 3)

As time went on, Gu An's taut nerves gradually relaxed.

He began to believe that the mysterious murderer had been frightened into hiding by the relentless pursuit of the Gu Family and would never dare show face again.

This notion even gave him a twisted sense of satisfaction.

But who could have expected that just five minutes ago, as he was discussing affairs with the elders in the courtyard, disaster struck, completely unannounced!

A shadow as black as ink silently appeared above the courtyard.

It was a terrifying Spirit Beast he had never seen before, not recorded in any ancient texts.

Its body was entirely black, not a stray hair on it, encircled by an eerie aura that made one's heart pound.

No roar, no pressure.

It simply hovered there silently, its scarlet eyes coldly observing the people below, like a god looking down upon ants.

The next moment, the shadow moved.

All the experts of the Gu Family, including Gu An himself, couldn't even clearly see its movements.

They only felt an irresistible suction force, as the spiritual power and life force within them surged out like a flood!

In an instant, everyone was dead except for him.

The manner of death was identical to the clan members previously assassinated in the Celestial Capital!

Fear, like an icy serpent, seized Gu An's heart instantly.

With all his might, he squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth to investigate the terrifying Spirit Beast's information.

Level ninety-nine!

A never-before-seen, terrifying existence of level ninety-nine!

Countless thoughts flashed through Gu An's mind.

The Divine Race?

Some reclusive old monster?

Or perhaps...

However, after instantly killing everyone, the Spirit Beast did not make a move against him, it merely floated silently in the air, its scarlet eyes coldly watching him, as if waiting for something.

This unknown waiting was more terrifying than direct death.

Gu An knew that he was destined to die today.

The opponent left him not out of mercy but with a deeper purpose.

A strong survival instinct gave him the last bit of strength to shout hoarsely to the empty surroundings:

"Which esteemed elder has arrived! What offense has my Gu Family committed against you, please reveal it to me! If there is any offense, the Gu Family is willing to do everything to compensate for your loss!"

His voice echoed in the bloody courtyard but was met only with deathly silence.

Unwilling to give up, Gu An took a deep breath, ready to speak again.

At that moment—

"Click... Click... Click..."

A series of crisp and steady footsteps slowly approached from outside the courtyard's moon gate.

The sound moved unhurriedly, each step seemingly coinciding with Gu An's heartbeat, causing his blood to nearly freeze.

They have come!

The mastermind finally wanted to show themselves!

Gu An, with trembling limbs, forcibly turned his head to look in the direction of the footsteps.

As the figure emerged from the shadows, bathed in the blood-red setting sun, Gu An's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of a needle!

The fear, anger, confusion...

All of it was replaced in an instant by an indescribable shock and horror!

"It's... it's you?"

"How... how could it be you?!"

Gu An stared at the girl who appeared in front of him, a vision in snow-white clothes and stunning beauty, his voice turning shrill with excessive shock. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

He had suspected many people, even placing the greatest suspicion on Lin Chen, who had often opposed them!

But never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that the one standing before him, orchestrating the massacre, would be—

Bai Ling!
