My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel - Chapter 176

176: Chapter 176: Ghost Race Divine Pattern!

176: Chapter 176: Ghost Race Divine Pattern!

Noticing this message, Gu Xing immediately quickened his pace.

The second Divine Secret Realm was about to open.

Though the entire Northern Territory had fallen into the hands of the Demon Race now, still…

He refused to give up.

He absolutely could not just hand over the second Divine Pattern to the Demon Race!

Not long after, he found Lilith in a grand, golden meeting chamber.

At this moment, Lilith had just finished tidying up the aftermath left by the Blood-colored Church.

When Gu Xing appeared before her with Liu Li, her gaze locked immediately on Liu Li.

As expected.

This Guardian Beast’s true strength…

She could no longer see through it!

Now, she herself was Monarch Tier Five; if even she couldn’t fathom this Angel’s depths, that could only mean…

This Angel’s talent had already surpassed her!

Her scarlet eyes narrowed slightly.

Stronger than her-meaning this Angel had broken through the Myth Five Stars barrier.

Thinking of this, her attention unconsciously shifted to Gu Xing.

This human…

If he could raise the Angel’s talent, did that mean…

He might be able to raise hers too-and help her shatter the Myth Five Stars shackles?

But for now, she and Gu Xing weren’t close enough for that.

This-she would have to discuss later.

She then slowly spoke:
“Is there something you need?”
Gu Xing had hurried here with Liu Li, clearly…

They must have important business.

Gu Xing didn’t waste time, and immediately explained Ying Bing’s condition to Lilith in detail.

After hearing what happened, Lilith furrowed her brow.

“You’re seeking the Snow Race?”
Gu Xing nodded seriously.

“Forget it!”
Lilith’s words cut off Gu Xing’s plan.

Seeing Gu Xing’s confusion, she slowly explained:
“The Snow Race have always avoided outsiders-and they’re pretty hostile to humans.

You probably won’t get a chance.”
Her words were ice water doused on Gu Xing’s hopes.

If he couldn’t find the Snow Race, then Ying Bing’s injuries…

His fists clenched unconsciously.

No matter what, he had to heal Ying Bing.

Even if it meant forcing them…

Lilith seemed to read his mind, mercilessly shattering his illusion:
“Don’t even think of using force.

In every generation, there’s only one member of the Snow Race; right now, the only one is known as the Snow Woman.”
“She isn’t skilled at fighting, but she has a Guardian whose strength is near Totem Level.”
“With your current strength, you stand no chance whatsoever.”
Gu Xing fell silent, simply staring at Lilith.

That burning gaze made Lilith a little uncomfortable.

She sighed softly, exasperated:
“Don’t look at me.

Even with your talent boosting me, I probably wouldn’t be a match for that Guardian.”
“However…”
At that, Lilith abruptly paused.

Seeing Gu Xing’s questioning gaze, she continued:
“I can have someone take your beloved to meet the Snow Woman.”
“I have some friendship with her; maybe I can persuade her to help.”
“Of course, that’s not certain-I can only promise to do my best.”
Lilith’s teasing was completely ignored by Gu Xing.

All his attention was on Lilith’s previous words.

According to her, if he went himself, the Snow Woman would never agree to heal Ying Bing.

But if Lilith acted as the mediator…

After thinking it over, Gu Xing made up his mind at last.

Ying Bing’s life force was stable, but she’d been sealed up too long…

The longer it dragged on, the greater the harm to her.

He couldn’t wait any longer!

“Alright.

But you must guarantee Ying Bing’s safety!”
Hearing this, Lilith nodded.

With a wave of her delicate hand, a figure emerged from the shadows.

It was a female of the Blood Race.

“Her name is Yue; she’ll escort your beloved to the Snow Realm.”
“She has Monarch Peak strength-she can guarantee their safety.”
As the Blood Ancestor, Lilith had secretly cultivated a number of trusted aides over the years, though rarely revealed them.

The reason she dared to lead the Human Race to assault the Holy City last time was these hidden cards.

Though in the end, those backups were never used.

“Yue, did you hear my instructions just now?”
The Blood Race woman bowed.

“My Lady, I will complete the task without fail.”
She paced over to Gu Xing elegantly and bowed respectfully.

Her blood-red eyes were filled with deep respect for Gu Xing.

Since he and Lilith had signed the Blood Covenant, to her and her kin, Gu Xing stood equal to Lilith in status.

Gu Xing looked at the respectful Blood Race woman before him.

After a brief hesitation, he finally produced the Ice Coffin containing Ying Bing.

Given his current relationship with Lilith, she had no reason to harm him.

Yue accepted the Ice Coffin with deference, and her form slowly blended back into the shadows.

So…

As long as the Snow Woman agreed to act, Ying Bing could awaken.

But if they were refused…

Seeing Gu Xing’s worried look, Lilith unusually offered him comfort:
“Don’t worry, I once saved the Snow Woman’s life-she shouldn’t refuse me.”
“But what you should really worry about right now is…”
Her gaze moved to Gu Xing’s forehead.

“You’ve sensed it too, haven’t you?

The Human Race’s second Divine Pattern is about to appear.”
“You’re not honestly planning to sit and watch it fall into Demon Race hands, are you?”
Her words snapped Gu Xing out of his daze, and he refocused on Lilith.

Since learning of the imminent opening of the Divine Secret Realm, he’d been troubled over the second Divine Pattern.

Gather the Human Race to retake the Northern Territory?

Absolutely impossible!

But if he didn’t reclaim the Northern Territory, he couldn’t reach the Secret Realm’s entrance.

Which meant he’d lose all hope for the second Divine Pattern.

Yet now Lilith brought it up herself, clearly already having a plan.

Without any pretense, Lilith spoke out directly:
“What about your other Guardian Beast?”
Gu Xing froze, then realized she meant Fei Yue.

Frowning slightly, he waved his hand.

Fei Yue’s figure instantly appeared in the hall.

“Why are you looking for Fei Yue?”
Lilith’s lips curled in a meaningful smile:
“Naturally-for seizing that Divine Pattern.”
“As long as we make use of your Guardian Beast’s Void Control power, we might be able to stealthily slip into the Divine Secret Realm.”
Upon hearing Lilith’s idea, Gu Xing shook his head:
“Fei Yue is skilled with Void Power, but…”
“As she is right now, she can’t evade the Monarch Level Demon Race’s perception.”
He’d already considered this route-but rejected it in the end.

Lilith’s smile didn’t fade at all:
“She can’t do it as she is now.”
“But if she can obtain the Ghost Race Divine Pattern…”
“Then, even the Monarch Level Demon Race absolutely won’t sense her presence.”
The Ghost Race Divine Pattern?

Gu Xing locked eyes with Lilith.

In those blood-red pupils, he instantly understood her intention-
She wanted him to go to the Ghost Clan’s Residence and seize the Ghost Race Divine Pattern!

This plan…

Utterly insane!

But somehow…

It just might work!

But taking the Divine Pattern couldn’t be by brute force…

It had to be through strategy!

Qing Shuang and Fei Yue, to a degree, shared the bloodline of the Ghost Clan Leader.

According to what Qing Shuang had revealed, the one who expelled them from the Ghost Race years ago…

Wasn’t the Clan Leader, but the Great Elder acting alone.

Therefore, if he could win the Ghost Clan Leader’s support…

Then securing the Divine Pattern was truly possible.

However…

The process would be unimaginably difficult.
