Chapter 581: 287: The Unveiled Secret Script! _1
Gu Tianfan didn’t expect Fang Mu to react so violently after hearing what he had to say.
He also didn’t expect the usually composed Gu Che to subconsciously summon his Guardian Beast to confront Fang Mu.
Does Clan Zhenyan currently have the means to confront this young man head-on?
As the former Patriarch, Gu Tianfan had led Clan Zhenyan through a prosperous era. He was an exceptionally intelligent man!
Gu Tianfan spoke as he did to probe Fang Mu’s intentions and bottom line.
Now, he has some idea about that bottom line. The ancient book with traces of Spiritual Energy from Clan Zhenyan is what Fang Mu wants.
However, the problem is that Gu Tianfan doesn’t want to part with the ancient book.
Even if Gu Tianfan truly decided to give up the book, it is doubtful whether it would appease the rage of the young man in front of him.
Clan Zhenyan would find it challenging to coexist with this young man.
Shui Miao and Shu Liangjun were stunned, for they could not believe the powerful strength exhibited by Fang Mu, a Beast Master of One-point Stars!
The strength was simply beyond reason.
There are only two possibilities for a Beast Master to possess such power. One is the empowerment granted by the Destiny Guardian Beast, and the other is a contract with a unique kind of pollutant, which also offers Beast Masters extraordinary capabilities.
Still, compared to the latter, Shu Liangjun and Shui Miao lean more towards the former.
Firstly, Fang Mu has emotions and has not turned into an emotionless monster like the Ancient Genesis.
A certain person in the Ten-Thousand Nations Federation has been studying pollutants for several decades.
Even after decades, no method has been found to eliminate the effect of pollutants on the Contractor’s emotions.
The Ancient Genesis spent thousands of years dedicated to this research, so Shu Liangjun and Shui Miao do not believe that Qixing has resolved the emotional impact of pollutants.
Secondly, it’s considered standard practice for the Grandmaster Creator to accept Disciples who possess their Destiny Guardian Beast.
Beast Masters who possess a Destiny Guardian Beast and those who don’t possess one exist on completely different levels in reality.
Though few Beast Masters openly talk about it, it is a fact known to every Beast Master.
The basic requirement for recruits to join the main team of large clubs is to have a Destiny Guardian Beast.
The Destiny Guardian Beast can be considered a selling point for a Beast Master.
Many scholars have studied Destiny Guardian Beasts and believe that a Destiny Guardian Beast can represent a microcosm of a Beast Master’s soul.
As soon as this opinion was proposed by a renowned scholar, it was immediately recognized by a significant number of scholars.
Even some Master Creators publicly supported this claim.
However, this claim was like a thorn in the side for those Beast Masters who did not possess a Destiny Guardian Beast.
Among them, some Master Creators, Forging Spirit Grandmasters, Grandmaster Craftsmen, Weaving Grandmasters, and even Grandmaster Creator-like figures didn’t possess a Destiny Guardian Beast.
These people have achieved their current status due to their much more considerable efforts than those Beast Masters who own a Destiny Guardian Beast. Only those who have experienced hardships can appreciate them.
No matter whether this claim is grounded or not, this statement denies the souls of Beast Masters who have not awakened a Destiny Guardian Beast.
Eventually, this argument was utterly suppressed, and basically no one brought it up again.
Shui Miao and Shu Liangjun have observed numerous intriguing elements in Fang Mu, including the Silver-Blue Mystical Snake, which required only a tenth of the typical spiritual power to form a contract with.
No matter how many remarkable qualities Fang Mu exhibited, Shui Miao and Shu Liangjun could quickly process and accept it.
They attributed all of these extraordinary feats to Qixing, the Grandmaster Creator!
Just as Gu Tianfan was about to order Gu Che to get his Guardian Beast to retreat, and then try to plead with Fang Mu in a different manner, he heard Fang Mu’s icy voice.
“I’ll give Clan Zhenyan one last chance. Hand over the ancient book that contains clues about Spiritual Energy.”
“Otherwise, let yourselves return to your foreordained fates!”
“I just happen to have a few undead creatures. You can decide whether you want to be their meal tonight!”
Fang Mu originally intended to try to pry information about the ancient book from the core members of Clan Zhenyan, to test their sincerity.
But given Clan Zhenyan’s current attitude, Fang Mu saw no need to test the clan further!
Initially, Clan Zhenyan had the opportunity to receive Fang Mu’s support, just as the She Family had.
However, the attitude of Gu Tianfan, the elder Patriarch, has made Fang Mu decide only to treat Clan Zhenyan as an average power under his command.
Gu Tianfan learned from Gu Che that Ke Wu and others were summoned to the second floor by Fang Mu alone. It must be Ke Wu who mentioned the ancient book to Fang Mu.
Gu Tianfan could sense a definite killing intent from Fang Mu’s words. The only chance for Clan Zhenyan to survive now would be to hand over this ancient book.
The ancient book is in the possession of Gu Anxing, the current Family Head of Clan Zhenyan. Gu Tianfan was about to speak when the noise of the door being pushed open interrupted him.
The Mechanism Fortress’s rooms are all soundproof. But, the resounding boom from Fang Mu’s punch against Gu Che’s Guardian Beast was too loud.
Gu Anxing, who was next door, not only heard the loud bang but also felt the ground shaking!
Gu Anxing hurriedly came over with Gu Kun, concerned about the safety of his father, Gu Tianfan, and his son, Gu Che.
On the one hand, he was worried about the safety of his father, Gu Tianfan, and his son, Gu Che. On the other, he feared that Gu Tianfan, not fully understanding the situation, could inadvertently make a mistake, leading to Fang Mu’s unfavorable impression of Clan Zhenyan.
