Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 609 Is it really an auspicious beast?!

Today, Qingque and Bai Xiuxiu made plans to go out and play together.

Nan Fusheng had already taken care of Bai Xiuxiu's identification documents, and as one of Nan Fusheng's secretaries, Bai Xiuxiu also received her own salary.

So whenever she had free time, Qingque would take Bai Xiuxiu outside to play, so as not to disturb Nan Fusheng's good time.

Hmm, and while you're at it, take the Emerald Demon Bird that Ziji and Guyuena left here with you too.

Originally, Zi Ji was unwilling, after all, she wasn't Nan Fusheng's alter ego, but only stayed there after being brainwashed. In her view, her purpose in staying at the governor's residence was to protect Nan Fusheng's safety, so she shouldn't leave Nan Fusheng's side casually.

But Nan Fusheng demanded that she go outside with Qingque to act as his guard. His reason was that Naxi Da was in the mansion, and there were few others who could harm him.

So, even though Ziji was somewhat unwilling, she obediently followed Qingque outside and acted as her guard.

Early this morning, Qingque, full of energy, set off on a shopping trip with a dragon (Ziji), a fish (Bai Xiuxiu), and a bird (Cuimo Bird). There wasn't a single person in the entire group who could resist.

Throughout the journey, Zi Ji maintained her aloof demeanor while also keeping an eye on Bai Xiuxiu, the woman who frequently feigned falls. Of all the people in the mansion, this woman, who often pretended to trip and fall, was the most likely to pose a threat to Nan Fusheng.

Meanwhile, Qingque and Bai Xiuxiu strolled around the streets in high spirits. Qingque was the carefree and easygoing type.

Bai Xiuxiu, on the other hand, was extremely curious about everything in the human world, so she was also very interested. At the same time, she would occasionally probe Qingque, seemingly casually inquiring about Nan Fusheng's hobbies.

For a time, the atmosphere among the group was quite pleasant.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the three people and the bird finished their visit. However, the sight before them when they stepped into the mansion left them speechless.

The courtyard outside the mansion remained orderly and lush with flowers and plants, but the interior looked as if it had undergone a catastrophe.

The living room was a mess, with furniture overturned and items scattered all over the floor, as if it had just been swept by a fierce tornado, revealing chaos and disorder everywhere.

"Wow, what happened here? It looks like there's been a fight, it's in such a mess."

Qingque broke the silence first. She cautiously walked into the living room, her gaze sweeping over the mess in the house before finally landing on the two people facing each other in the living room. Her eyes were full of curiosity and doubt, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Lady Naxida, what is going on here?" Qingque and the others returned at just the right time. Gu Yuena and Naxida had just finished their peace talks when they stepped into the house.

"The power of destiny? A mythical beast?"

Gu Yuena's gaze suddenly narrowed the moment she saw Qingque, and a hint of undisguised astonishment flashed in her eyes.

Although the power of destiny contained within Qingque can conceal her identity as a soul beast to some extent, it is not difficult for a powerful person whose spiritual power has reached the Spirit Domain Realm to see through her disguise when observing her at close range.

As the ruler of all soul beasts, and given that a mythical beast once spawned in the Star Dou Great Forest, Gu Yuena was extremely familiar with this auspicious power of destiny.

But this sense of familiarity now brought endless doubt and disbelief.

"No, that's not right. How could a mythical beast possibly descend to earth now?"

Gu Yuena quickly regained her senses, subconsciously shaking her head, her heart filled with doubt. She stared intently at Qingque again, trying to discern her true identity.

Auspicious beasts, as naturally born and nurtured creatures, carry the destiny power of the soul beast race. Their birth process is extremely difficult and requires a large amount of destiny power as nourishment.

Back then, the Starry Sky Forest was rich in resources and had a profound history. Through countless coincidences, a mythical beast was born.

Other regions, such as the far north and the demon forest, despite having unique ecological environments, ultimately failed to nurture auspicious beasts.

This is enough to prove how difficult it is for auspicious beasts to be born, requiring the fulfillment of many stringent conditions.

Given the current decline of the Soul Beast race, it is difficult to meet the conditions for the birth of auspicious beasts, whether in terms of the accumulation of the power of destiny or the support of the ecological environment. So how could an auspicious beast possibly be born?

Thinking of the fate of the Soul Beast race, a hint of killing intent flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes. If it weren't for the ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Ice Douluo taking away a large amount of the Soul Beast race's fortune when he ascended, they wouldn't have declined so quickly.

At that time, they thought that even if the auspicious beast was sacrificed to Huo Yuhao, the power of destiny belonging to the soul beast race should return after he ascended to godhood.

However, the result was completely unexpected. It's unclear what methods Huo Yuhao used, but after his ascension to the God Realm, the Soul Beast race's fortune didn't return; instead, he stole most of it. This further worsened the Soul Beast race's already dire situation.

Although Gu Yuena was filled with resentment and unwillingness, at this moment, she was more concerned about the seemingly ordinary Qingque, who exuded the aura of an auspicious beast. She stared intently at Qingque, trying to find more clues from her.

"It really is an auspicious beast! Could it be that there are still unexplored soul beast forests these days?"

After careful observation, Gu Yuena discovered that Qingque's true form was indeed the Emerald Demon Bird, which was correct. The power of fate inherently possesses randomness, and under its influence, any race could potentially be born.

Even the most ordinary species, under the protection of the power of fate, can possess extraordinary abilities, and may even be able to transcend their own limits and achieve cross-year combat.

Thinking of a quasi-god-level spirit beast like Nashida, Gu Yuena's thoughts drifted further and further away. Could it be that there are still mysterious forbidden zones on the land untouched by humans? And that spirit beasts like Nashida were born from those mysterious places?

"Um? Miss, could you please stop staring at me like that?" Qingque felt uncomfortable under Gu Yuena's gaze and instinctively shrank back, her voice tinged with fear.

"You..." Gu Yuena was about to speak, but Naxida, who was sitting on the sofa, spoke up before her: "Ziji, you go and tell the servants to prepare dinner. As for Qingque and Xiuxiu, you two go and help too."

"Yes."

Zi Ji, who walked slowly into the living room, pursed her lips and glanced at the "unconscious" Nan Fusheng with some concern, but in the end she chose to obey Naxi Da's orders.

"You two come with me." Zi Ji called out to Qing Que and Bai Xiu Xiu, then headed towards the kitchen.

"Squeak~" The Emerald Demon Bird on Qingque's shoulder immediately flapped its wings and landed on Gu Yuena's shoulder, gently rubbing against her silver hair.

"It's you!" Gu Yuena patted the head of the Emerald Demon Bird. She had left the Emerald Demon Bird with Nan Fusheng for a while, and she had almost forgotten about its existence.

However, compared to that, Qingque's problem now is much bigger. The importance of the Imperial Auspicious Beast to the Soul Beast race is self-evident. If there were an auspicious beast, the Soul Beast race would undoubtedly be able to develop better once her grand plan succeeds.

Looking at Naxida opposite her, Gu Yuena began, "You..."

"Don't overthink it, I won't tell you. Also, don't even think about Qingque, there's no way I'll give her to you." Naxida interrupted Gu Yuena before she could finish speaking.

"All right."

Faced with Nasita's unyielding attitude, Gu Yuena knew she wouldn't get any information out of her. But that didn't matter; she had other ways to find out the situation.

Gu Yuena subtly glanced at the Emerald Bird on her shoulder. She had once signed a master-servant contract with this little creature. Thanks to that, the Emerald Bird was quite intelligent.

Since she couldn't get any information from Nasita, she turned to questioning the Emerald Demon Bird.

After making up a flimsy excuse to appease Naxida, Gu Yuena found a room to stay in. She wanted to use the Emerald Demon Bird to find out what had happened to Nan Fusheng after she left.

……

Four days have passed since the attack on the Tianhai City naval port, and the incident has escalated significantly, with calls for war growing louder domestically. All indications suggest that the attack originated from the Star Luo Empire's military.

It is said that further strong evidence was subsequently discovered, proving that the Star Luo Empire had taken further action. Various media outlets rushed to report on it, and public opinion was extremely vocal.

After a large-scale manhunt, Tianhai City gradually relaxed its guard and lifted military control, but it continued to strictly check all major transportation hubs in and out of Tianhai City to ensure that the same thing would not happen again.

The defenses of the carrier battle group on the sea surface have become much tighter, with various detection radars being activated in an uncoordinated manner to monitor the situation at all times and ensure that no further problems arise.

The previous attack was successful because of the dereliction of duty by the radar monitoring department. The relevant personnel have been sent to a military court and are under the personal supervision of Chen Xinjie, the master of the Hall of War Gods and the Douluo of the Vast Ocean.

No one can plead for leniency in this matter; those involved will be sentenced quickly and severely punished.

At this seemingly calm but actually turbulent moment, a major general in the uniform of the North Navy Corps made an extremely unusual move at a seemingly ordinary time.

The major general quietly walked out of the command headquarters of the three fleets, his expression cautious, with a hint of barely perceptible panic in his eyes.

He activated his powerful mental energy, which spread like an invisible net, carefully scanning his surroundings, leaving no corner or shadow unchecked. Only after confirming that no one was following him did he breathe a sigh of relief.

He then began to stroll casually around the perimeter of the military area, and from a distance, his behavior appeared no different from that of a soldier on routine patrol. However, his steps were slightly hurried, and his eyes occasionally revealed a hint of anxiety.

During the hour or so, he seemed to be walking around casually, but in reality, he was constantly observing the surrounding situation. Only after confirming that there was no danger did he calmly drive the soul-guided car out of the military region.

After the Soul Guided Car entered Tianhai City, it did not head directly to its destination, but instead drove around the city streets, sometimes accelerating and sometimes decelerating, as if it were deliberately avoiding something.

After some complicated route planning, they finally stopped by the roadside. The major general quickly got out of the car, his movements swift and agile, like a wary cheetah. He glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then darted into a narrow alley.

The alley was dark and damp, filled with a pungent smell. The major general wandered aimlessly through it, sometimes turning back, sometimes pausing, constantly employing various counter-surveillance techniques to ensure he wasn't being followed.

His figure appeared and disappeared in the dim alley, his steps light and swift. After a difficult search, he finally stopped in front of a very inconspicuous house.

The house is dilapidated with mottled walls, blending into the surrounding buildings and making it difficult to attract attention.

The major general took a deep breath to calm his nerves before entering the house. The moment he stepped inside, a strong, nauseating stench of blood assaulted his nostrils.

Inside the room, there were at least a dozen figures dressed in black robes, sitting quietly. Their figures were hidden in the darkness, and their faces could not be seen, but each of them exuded an extremely cold aura, as if they were evil spirits from hell.

In the very center of the room stood two slender figures, their forms not concealed by black robes. Their graceful figures and unique aura created a striking contrast with the surrounding figures in black robes.

The major general stepped past the men in black robes, strode to the two slender figures, knelt on one knee, a fanatical expression on his face, and said excitedly, "Your subordinate greets Lord Dark Bell and Lord Dark Phoenix. May the glory of the Holy Church forever shroud the entire Douluo Continent."

"Um."

Nanali nodded calmly, then said, "The military is under martial law right now. Do you have some important intelligence to report to the base at this time? Are the three fleets about to deploy?"

This major general is a spy planted by the Holy Spirit Cult within the military; he is a very important mole. Having managed to secretly develop for so many years on the Douluo Continent, how could the Holy Spirit Cult not have some tricks up their sleeve?

They have people in the Federation, and they also have informants in the military of the other two continents.

Each of these agents is crucial; they are all controlled by the Holy Spirit Cult and usually serve as spies within the military, relaying messages from the military to the Holy Spirit Cult.

A major general-level spy is already the highest-ranking agent they can plant on their side. The fact that the target would risk leaving the military clearly indicates they have brought important intelligence.

"Yes, Lord Dark Bell." The Major General nodded respectfully and said, "I came out this time to report to you. Although martial law is in effect over the three fleets, the Commander-in-Chief doesn't seem to have any intention of sending troops."

The commander-in-chief refers to Chen Xinjie, the Douluo of the Vast Ocean.
