Lord of Bones

Chapter 623: Trump Card Increase
The three forces compete and encourage each other, which makes the strength of Tianyun Sect continue to increase.

In this competitive atmosphere, the Tianyun Sect has always maintained its position as the leader among the four lower sects and has become a force that cannot be ignored among the seven sects of Wenhe.

According to the succession rules of the Shuiyun Peak's leader, whenever a new Huawen realm expert is born, he will be honored as the new leader.

The previous leader will move into Tianyun Peak and enjoy the supreme honor.

When the leader dies or goes missing, the Council of Elders, headed by the Great Elder, will take on the responsibility of acting as the leader and temporarily manage the affairs of Tianyun Peak until a new leader appears.

For thousands of years, the position of the leader has always been rotated among the three forces, and each leader is a strong man in the Huawen realm.

However, starting from the Shui surnamed head, the position of the head has been passed down more frequently.

There were two more important items passed down from the throne to the new throne: the mother order of the Demon Blood Order and the satin handkerchief of the formation that suppressed the Essence-Devouring Demon Vine and sealed the Yuan Pattern.

However, only the formation satin handkerchief has been passed down to this day, but the mother order of the Demon Blood Order has not.

The mother order of the Demon Blood Order has always been in the hands of the Shui clan leader, and it has become an unknown secret.

.........

Before returning to Tianyun Peak, Qiao Muhong already felt that his life was coming to an end.

He knew very well that he was about to leave this world, but the worries in his heart prevented him from leaving with peace of mind.

So, he quietly went to the Feng family ruins, hoping to have a final communication with the Sperm-Devouring Vine.

When he came to Fengshi again, it had become a completely desolate place.

Looking at the phantom of the ancient palace with only the clan protection formation, Qiao Muhong took a deep breath, and a trace of melancholy appeared in his eyes.

After a long time, he slowly entered the underground palace.

The interior of the underground palace was dark and silent, with only a faint light coming from the depths.

Qiao Muhong followed the light and finally saw the sealed sperm-eating demon vine.

He lay there quietly, having been sleeping for hundreds of years.

Qiao Muhong walked in front of the Sperm-Devouring Demon Vine and could still feel its powerful vitality, as well as its deep loneliness and desire.

"Old friend, I'm here to see you." Qiao Muhong said softly, "I don't have much time left, but I hope you can keep our promise.

"As long as you wait patiently, you will see the light of day again one day."

The sperm-eating demon vine seemed to understand his words, and the vines trembled slightly, as if responding to Qiao Muhong.

Qiao Muhong felt his response and felt inexplicably moved.

In fact, he didn't need to remind her that if the mother order was destroyed, the demon vine's cultivation would be ruined.

He continued: “One more thing.

"After you leave this time, the seal here will be completely sealed. I hope you will not think of breaking the seal again."

After saying that, Qiao Muhong breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, he took a deep look at the Sperm-Devouring Vine, then turned and left.

This time the separation is forever.

.........

The ruins of the Feng family, a deep underground palace.

Li Yuan stood quietly, holding an exquisite jade bottle tightly in his hand.

Inside the bottle, the essence of the Sperm-Devouring Demon Vine was sealed inside, like a trapped ghost, silent and motionless.

There was no expression on Li Yuan's face, as if covered by a layer of frost, and his brows were slightly wrinkled, revealing his inner worries.

He looked around and his eyes fell on Teng Qing and Xiao Bai who were refining the Sperm-Devouring Demon Vine.

At this moment, they were concentrating on refining the demon vine, and a mysterious and powerful power wave was spreading around them.

Li Yuan muttered to himself: "You have to hurry up, if the strong men from Tianyun Sect arrive, it will be troublesome."

Recalling the sect information in the rings left by Zuo Feihong and those disciples of Tianyun Sect, and combining it with the description of the Sperm-Devouring Demon Vine, Li Yuan had a more comprehensive understanding of Tianyun Sect.

Once they learn of what's happening here, they will come quickly.

Thinking of this, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency and had to leave here as soon as possible.

.........

On the walls of the underground palace, ancient Yuan patterns are carved, emitting a faint light.

There is also an ancient and mysterious atmosphere in the air.

The underground palace becomes an independent space, isolated from the outside world.

Time seems to have lost its meaning and passes by silently.

Li Yuan lowered his head in thought, estimating that the time should be about right.

He glanced at Wei Yuer, Xue Yuze and Xi Muxue standing beside him.

Their complexions have regained their rosy complexion and their breathing has become steady, and it is clear that they have recovered well.

But at this moment, the three were still immersed in a coma and knew nothing about the thrilling scenes taking place in the underground palace.

Li Yuan sighed lightly and secretly decided to let them wake up naturally after leaving the underground palace.

When the three people had their vitality sucked away by the Sperm-Devouring Vine, they became extremely weak and fainted, and were unaware of what happened afterwards.

Li Yuan didn't want them to know too much.

Some things, knowing them will only add to your troubles.

Thinking back to when they first entered the underground palace, although Wei Yuer and the others had their own thoughts, they still reminded him in the end, which was considered a small help.

Li Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude in his heart.

Saving them was not only because of the reminder, but also to avoid attracting targeting from the Blood Evil Lake, Qianchi Palace and Lingxi Valley.

If these three people were also killed here, it would undoubtedly attract the joint pursuit of the four major sects, which would cause endless trouble.

Now, letting the geniuses from the other three sects survive will also create some obstacles for the Tianyun Sect.

If the Tianyun Sect really wants to investigate this matter thoroughly, they can find an excuse to cover it up then.

After all, it wasn’t just them who survived, there were also geniuses from the other three major sects.

In this way, even if the Tianyun Sect wants to pursue the matter, it will be cautious.

Li Yuan already had a plan in his mind. After leaving the underground palace, he went directly to the Longshan Tan family to look for an opportunity to enter the Ziquan Tan.

However, he also inferred that after the merchant ship operated by the Longshan Tan family was attacked, the Longshan Tan family also became the focus of everyone's attention.

Xue Yunsu from Xuesha Lake should not go to Ziquantan for the time being.

He slowly took out several rings, each of which contained the aura of a powerful being from a different force.

He closed his eyes and gently slid his fingertips across the rings. As his mind moved, all the map scrolls in the rings flew out and opened one by one. The information in them flowed slowly into his mind like a trickle of water.

In the process of searching these maps, he accidentally captured some in-depth information about the Wenhe River Basin, the Wenhe Hundred Families, the Wenhe Seven Sects and other forces.

This information seemed to gradually unveil the mystery of the Wen River Basin, allowing him to have a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of this area.

Just as he was immersed in the ocean of information, suddenly, a dazzling white light broke through the void and shot towards him.

He was startled and opened his eyes suddenly, but then calmed down because he felt the breath of life contained in the white light. The white light slowly fell in front of his eyes and turned into a silver-white light cocoon, emitting a soft and mysterious light.

"Xiaobai!" Li Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

He could clearly feel that the aura emanating from the light cocoon was even stronger than the aura of the sperm-eating demon vine before, and it was obvious that it had recovered a lot of strength.

The light cocoon slowly split open, and a small silver dragon slid out of it, like a strand of silver silk, lightly swam in the air for a few circles, and finally stopped hovering in front of him.

The little dragon shook its head left and right and blinked its crystal clear eyes. It looked both cute and lively.

Its appearance seems to bring a touch of vitality and vigor to this quiet space.

Li Yuan looked at it, and an indescribable joy and sense of intimacy surged in his heart.

"Xiaobai, are you going to fall asleep again?" Li Yuan asked softly, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He stared at the silver-white dragon in front of him, who shook his head slightly.

Suddenly, the little dragon whooshed and moved lightly on Li Yuan's arm like a silver lightning.

Its body was soft and smooth, as if woven from the purest silver threads. Every touch brought Li Yuan an indescribable warmth and security.

Afterwards, Xiaolong returned to Li Yuan and moved his body a few times, as if adjusting his posture.

It blinked its crystal clear dragon eyes, its eyes full of intelligence.

Then, it rubbed its head gently against Li Yuan's cheek, as if to comfort him, or to express some kind of intimate emotion.

Li Yuan seemed to understand Xiaolong’s meaning from this series of actions, and confirmed excitedly: “You mean, now you won’t fall into a deep sleep.

"If I'm in trouble, will you help me?"

Hearing his words, the little silver-white dragon nodded gently, opened its mouth slightly, and actually showed a smile.

That smile was pure and warm, as if it could melt all the coldness and darkness in the world.

Li Yuan was very excited when he got the response, and his joy was beyond words.

Although I could only help him once, it was enough.

A brilliant smile broke out on his handsome face, and the heavy stone in his heart seemed to have fallen completely at this moment.

Although he didn't know how much strength Xiaobai had recovered now, Li Yuan could feel the powerful aura emanating from it, and he knew that he could definitely kill the Spirit-Devouring Demon Vine that had been sealed and fallen to a lower realm.

Recalling his experiences since leaving the Wenmang Mountains, Li Yuan couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.

Yuan Yao's deep sleep, without the trump card and backing he had before, was like a mountain pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

After arriving at the Jinglan Feng family ruins, he chose to take risks, hoping to gain some opportunities here and enhance his strength.

Now it seems that his choice was correct.

"Chichichi——"

A strange noise broke the silence around him, and Li Yuan came back to his senses from his thoughts.

Teng Qing has transformed into a human form and quietly came to his side.

Xiaobai flashed in the air and hovered lightly on Li Yuan's shoulder. His crystal clear dragon eyes looked at Teng Qing curiously.

Li Yuan looked at Teng Qing, frowning slightly, and asked with a hint of uncertainty in his tone: "You have just recovered to the peak of the Half-Step Transformation Realm?"

He couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, as he had originally thought that Teng Qing could recover faster.

Teng Qing nodded, with a gentle smile on his face, and said: "The Spirit Devouring Demon Vine is indeed a treasure for cultivation, but it is a bit wasteful to use it to restore strength now.

"We are of the same origin. I can store its energy in my body. After I fully recover, I will use it to improve my cultivation."

She paused and continued, “We have to go to Ziquantan next.

“The energy there has little effect on the strong ones in the Huawen realm, but it is just right for those at the peak of the Half-step Huawen realm.

“Although my cultivation is the same as that of Tianyun Sect’s Great Elder Shui Qing, I should be able to kill him easily.”

After hearing Teng Qing's words, Li Yuan's disappointment gradually dissipated, and was replaced by a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

He tilted his head to look at Xiaobai on his shoulder, a questioning look in his eyes.

As if knowing what Li Yuan was thinking, Xiaobai shook her head gently. She couldn't rely on the Sperm-Devouring Demon Vine to improve her realm.

"Haha!" Teng Qing smiled and said, "She is already at the peak of the Half-Step Saint Realm.

“This level of sperm-devouring demon vine cannot help her reach the Saint realm at all.

"Speaking of which, I have to thank her."

"What happened?" Li Yuan asked.

Teng Qing showed a touched expression, and said slowly: "The help of the Sperm Devouring Demon Vine to her has already reached its limit, she should have withdrawn early.

“Although you extracted the spirit of the Sperm Devouring Demon Vine, I was still disturbed when I was refining it and almost went astray.

“Fortunately, she intervened in time to help me resolve the situation.

“However, in order to prevent these energies that do not belong to me from remaining in my body and causing rejection, I have to seal myself off and keep the energy in a peaceful state.

“During the lockdown, I will transform into a rattan hairpin.

"When you go to Ziquantan, I will restore my human body and use the energy there to recover to the Huawen realm."

Hearing this, Li Yuan showed a strange look and looked at Xiaobai, who made a cute sighing gesture, but there was no way to resolve it.

Li Yuan knew clearly that if Tengqing and the Sperm-Devouring Demon Vine were not of the same origin, it would be impossible to retain the energy and use it to break through the barriers in cultivation in the future.

“Although I have activated the formation that sealed off the underground palace, we have already spent quite a while here.

"Zuo Feihong did not report back to the sect, and Shui Qing can probably guess what happened here, so he must have taken some action."

Li Yuan did not dwell too much on Teng Qing's strength. The most important thing now was to leave the underground palace and make further plans.

Teng Qing waved his hand, and dozens of crystal clear jade bottles slowly floated in the air.

“I used the Essence Devouring Demon Vine to extract some cultivation essence liquid.

"Although the number is small, it should be helpful to improve your cultivation." Teng Qing said in a gentle voice.

These jade bottles emit a faint light, and it is obvious that the cultivation essence liquid contained within is of extremely high quality.

A hint of joy flashed in Li Yuan's eyes. He didn't hesitate and waved his hand lightly. Dozens of jade bottles turned into rosy clouds and were quickly collected into the ring.

Teng Qing's gaze swept across the underground palace and finally fell on the Yuan Array in the center.

With envy in her eyes, she said slowly: "The rare Spiritual Essence Stone controls the formation here.

“This kind of Yuan Stone is extremely precious and can greatly enhance the power of the Yuan Array.

"Should we take it away?"

When Li Yuan heard this, his heart moved.

Lingyuan Stone is an aid to cultivation that is far superior to Diyuan Stone.

Although this thing is as common as daily meals in Ling's memory.

But for Li Yuan and Teng Qing now, it is like a treasure.
