Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 758 - 481: Dark Little White

The person in front of me is Bai Ling!

"Haven't you already... been destroyed?"

Gu An, barely coherent, pointed at Bai Ling in disbelief, then quickly turned his head to look at the black Spirit Beast in midair, exuding an endless aura of foreboding.

A long-forgotten memory leapt to the forefront!

Calamity-Devouring Beast!

The appearance of this Spirit Beast was undoubtedly Bai Ling's Calamity-Devouring Beast.

But wasn't her Calamity-Devouring Beast, back in that fateful battle in the Celestial Capital, self-detonated to protect her and died?!

How could it be...

At this moment, a multitude of fragmented information clashed crazily within Gu An's mind!

Her unfathomable power...

The resurrection of the Calamity-Devouring Beast...

And that terrifying ninety-ninth level!

Gu An's body trembled violently, as if sifting chaff.

Who could have thought, she actually came back!

Came back for revenge!

Her Immortal Venerable power, even if only partially restored, was enough to make the entire Celestial Capital tremble!

"Are you very surprised?"

Bai Ling spoke, her voice as cold as ice, devoid of any trace of emotional fluctuation.

The once clear-as-water eyes now only held the icy indifference and hatred of a frozen landscape a thousand miles wide.

Step by step, she slowly walked towards Gu An, her shoes stepping into the pool of blood, yet remaining spotless.

Gu An looked into those cold eyes, finally regaining a thread of reason from his extreme shock.

He knew that today, he was doomed.

But he still wanted to make one last struggle.

Forcing himself to calm down, he spoke in a deep voice, adopting the tone of "righteousness":

"Bai Ling, back then, we had no choice!"

"Your power was too immense. If allowed to remain in the world, it would inevitably disrupt the balance of power!"

"We... we did it for the sake of all living beings!"

He spoke with righteous indignation, as if he was a hero defending world peace.

However, Bai Ling's face did not show the slightest ripple.

She just quietly watched him, as if observing a clown's pathetic performance.

After a long pause, she finally spoke softly, her voice carrying a hint of ethereal sarcasm:

"I originally thought, you would... say 'I'm sorry.'"

"What?"

Gu An was stunned, completely unable to comprehend her words.

However, in that moment of his stupefaction, Bai Ling moved.

She simply waved her hand lightly.

"Crack! Crack!"

With two crisp sounds, Gu An's arms and legs were abruptly severed by an invisible force!

"Ah—!!!!!!!"

The intense pain forced a pig-slaughtering scream from Gu An!

He collapsed in the pool of blood, rolling and convulsing wildly!

Yet his screams lasted less than a second.

A white shadow flashed, and Bai Ling already stood before him, holding a blood-stained dagger that had appeared in her grasp.

Expressionless, she severed the still howling tongue!

"None of you have ever apologized to me..."

"Uh... uh-uh..."

Terror and agony were reflected in Gu An's eyes, yet he could make no sound.

Bai Ling stood upright, looking down on him one last time, her gaze as if on a piece of garbage about to be discarded.

She turned around slowly, walking out of the courtyard, leaving behind a cold and resolute silhouette.

"Rest assured."

"All those who participated in that incident back then..."

"Soon enough, they'll be joining you, one by one."

....

Spirit Academy Ruins

The gray mist, like a living presence, surged toward Lin Chen the moment he stepped into the forbidden zone, attempting to infiltrate his orifices and corrode his soul.

However, when this mist made contact with the purple and gold Dragon Phoenix Heavenly Garment on Lin Chen, it seemed to encounter its nemesis, retreating rapidly with a "sizzle" sound.

"It works!"

Lin Chen was delighted but dared not be complacent.

He looked around; everywhere he saw was a dead and silent ruin.

The once familiar pavilions and towers now lay in shattered remnants, covered by withered vines.

The air was filled with a scent of decay and despair.

There was no sign of any life.

Or rather, the life that once existed had become part of this forbidden zone.

Cautiously, Lin Chen's Divine Thought probed out, only to be instantly consumed by a more powerful Spiritual Power.

"What a domineering Spiritual Domain!"

Lin Chen's heart was awestruck.

Just the peripheral dissipating energy was so formidable; what horrifying sights awaited in the core of this forbidden zone?

"Xiaobai, Xiaolan, stay close to me."

Not daring to recklessly use Divine Thought to explore, he relied on memory and intuition, heading step by step toward the deepest part of the Spirit Academy.

The surrounding scenery appeared twisted and grotesque under the shroud of gray mist.

Some shattered stone statues bore expressions of frozen terror, as if witnessing unspeakable horrors in their final moments. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The dried pond's withered lotus leaves seemed to bear marks of struggling claw scars.

The deeper he ventured, the more oppressive the despair weighed upon his heart.

After walking for about the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the gray mist ahead suddenly thickened, from which a heart-palpitating sobbing sound faintly emanated.

That crying, like a lament, was filled with endless grievance and sorrow, enough to rend one's heart asunder.

Lin Chen halted, becoming extremely solemn in demeanor.

He knew he was about to encounter the "thing" within this forbidden zone.

"Woo-woo-woo..."

The weeping drew closer, and a frail and petite figure slowly emerged from the dense fog.
