Beast Taming Star Journey

Chapter 329 Internal Strife Erupts Suddenly

The Beast Taming Realm's council hall was solemn and dignified, filled with a heavy atmosphere. The glazed tiles of the dome emitted a faint glow, illuminating the faces of the hundreds of beast tamers below, yet unable to dispel the gloom between their brows. I stood in the center of the hall, Su Yao standing quietly behind me. I could feel the warmth of her hand and her unwavering support. The hall was deathly silent; you could hear a pin drop. Everyone held their breath, awaiting the arrival of this storm.

The plutonium envoy, a lean and wiry man, paced back and forth, beads of sweat sliding down his face. He opened his mouth several times as if to speak, but swallowed back his words under the watchful eyes of the crowd. He was like a caged beast, restless and anxious. I knew he bore the heavy responsibility of conveying the opinions of all sides, yet in this tense moment, he had become the target of everyone's criticism.

Finally, I took a deep breath, breaking the suffocating silence. "Gentlemen," my voice echoed in the hall, "I know you all have doubts and concerns. I hope to communicate with you frankly about the matter of the mysterious ally."

As soon as I finished speaking, a buzzing sound filled the hall, like a swarm of dormant bees suddenly awakened. I calmly continued, "I know that cooperating with an unfamiliar force requires immense courage and trust. However, our common enemy is the dark force that seeks to devour the entire Beast Taming Realm! In comparison, the power of our mysterious ally is an indispensable asset!"

I shared every detail of my contact with the mysterious allies, along with the strength and sincerity they demonstrated, without reservation. I emphasized the necessity of cooperation and pointed out the potentially disastrous consequences of refusing to cooperate. My words were clear, forceful, and carried an undeniable authority.

I could sense that some of the previously hesitant Beast Tamers were beginning to be swayed by my words. A thoughtful glint gradually appeared in their eyes. One Beast Tamer stepped forward, firmly supporting my point of view. "Nong Yu is right! We can't afford to fight amongst ourselves anymore! Only by uniting can we fight against a powerful enemy!"

Seeing someone stand up to support me, a glimmer of hope ignited in my heart. However, I knew this was only the beginning. On the other side of the hall, the Beastmaster's face was grim, his eyes flashing with a cold light. He slowly stood up, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire hall…

The Beastmaster snorted coldly, his magnificent brocade robe swaying slightly with his movements, like a coiled venomous snake. "Nong Yu," he said in a chilling tone, each word like an icicle piercing me, "what you've said is nothing but your side of the story! Who knows if your so-called 'mysterious ally' is a fabrication? Or perhaps… you're simply their puppet!"

His words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples. The beast tamers, who had been somewhat hesitant, began whispering and discussing amongst themselves again. I felt Su Yao's hand tighten its grip; the warmth of her palm transmitted a sense of strength to me. I took a deep breath, trying to remain calm. "Beast Tamer, I know you have a prejudice against me. But this concerns the life and death of the beast taming world. I hope you can put aside your personal grudges and prioritize the greater good!"

"The greater good?" The Beast Tamer laughed loudly, his laughter filled with sarcasm. "You, a mere brat, dare to talk to me about the greater good? Your so-called 'greater good' is to hand over our Beast Taming world to others?" He waved his hand abruptly, and his followers stepped forward, each glaring at me and Su Yao with unfriendly expressions.

I felt an invisible pressure bearing down on me, almost crushing me. But I couldn't back down. Behind me were Su Yao, the Beast Tamer, and those who believed in me. I had to withstand this pressure! "Beast Tamer, you're trying to confuse the public! I never intended to hand over the Beast Taming World to others! I just wanted to find an ally who could help us fight against the forces of darkness!" My voice wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally firm.

"Enough!" the Beast Tamer roared. "I don't want to hear your excuses anymore! Today, I will represent the Beast Taming world and eliminate you and your 'mysterious ally'!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall became extremely tense, as if a sword had been drawn. I felt Su Yao's hand tremble slightly, but she still held my hand tightly. Her eyes were firm yet gentle, as if to say: No matter what happens, I will be by your side.

I grasped her hand in return, giving her a resolute look. I knew a great battle was inevitable. I glanced around and saw the Beastmaster and his companions also ready for battle, their faces filled with determination. The Plutonium Envoy and the Californium Strategist, on the other hand, anxiously tried to persuade both sides to calm down, but their voices were quickly drowned out by the cacophony.

The atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly tense, thick with the smell of gunpowder. Just then, a scream shattered the silence… “Ah!” A terrified cry rang out from afar, and a boy stumbled into the hall, his face filled with terror and despair… He pointed outside, stammering, “They…they’re fighting…”
