Lord of Bones

Chapter 638: The Sixty-Year Agreement
The long sword was swung, full of the agility and flexibility of water.

Every time the young woman turned and jumped, it was like ripples on the water, soft and smooth.

The tip of the sword seemed to be shuttling through the water, creating sparkling splashes of water.

The middle-aged woman is more reserved and profound, her swordsmanship is like a gentle stream, yet it carries a power that cannot be ignored.

"Chong-"

The sound of the swords clashing was crisp and pleasant, like the sound of water, echoing above the silent sea of ​​clouds, as if two clear streams met here, splashing water, and like waves hitting the rocks, majestic and exciting.

"Senior Sister Suya, be careful."

The young woman's voice echoed on the misty peak, carrying a hint of challenge and awe.

Before she finished her words, she rushed out like lightning.

The long sword drew a dazzling arc in the air like a meteor, and with a sharp sword energy, it stabbed towards Suya.

The young woman put all her strength into this sword. Endless water vapor condensed on the tip of the sword, like a silver waterfall, rushing towards the middle-aged woman with infinite power.

Senior Sister Suya seemed calm and composed. She waved her sword lightly, and the tip of the sword danced slightly. A crystal clear water curtain instantly condensed and formed in front of her.

The water curtain flowed like a waterfall, emitting a faint glow, completely enveloping the young woman's attack.

Under the refraction of the water curtain, the young woman's attack became blurred, as if she was sucked into a bottomless whirlpool.

When the water curtain slowly dissipated, the young woman's attack had become invisible and was skillfully resolved by Senior Sister Suya.

"Ning Meng, it's my turn." Senior Sister Su Ya launched a fierce counterattack.

Her swordsmanship is like a long stream that has been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations. Although it appears calm, it is actually hidden and contains endless mysterious changes.

The trajectory of Senior Sister Suya's sword was like a gurgling stream, elegant and powerful.

As she danced with her sword, a light vapor filled the surrounding air, rising up and interweaving with the mist in the sea of ​​clouds.

Faced with Senior Sister Suya's exquisite swordsmanship, Ning Meng, although young, also demonstrated extremely high attainments in swordsmanship.

She was agile and kept dodging Senior Sister Suya's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

However, Senior Sister Suya's swordsmanship was too exquisite, and every move was just right, making Ning Meng find it difficult to cope with.

"Kengkengkengkeng——"

The clash of their swords became more and more intense, and each collision of the sword tips was accompanied by a deafening sound.

The water vapor exploded like blooming fireworks, shaking the surrounding clouds and mist into pieces.

These water vapors sparkled with crystal light in the sunlight, as if countless tiny diamonds were flying in the air, adding a touch of brilliant brilliance to the entire peak.

As the sword lights intersected, two figures shuttled back and forth quickly on the platform, their movements light and agile, as if two lightning bolts intertwined, forming dazzling light and shadows.

The surrounding air seemed to be affected by their energy, becoming moist and fresh, creating a hazy and mysterious atmosphere.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the water vapor and clouds, forming beautiful beams of light that cover the entire peak in glory.

An old woman sat cross-legged nearby, firmly rooted on a rock that had been eroded by time but remained solid.

She seemed to merge into the misty peak and become a part of this world.

With her eyes slightly closed, the old woman seemed to be listening to the whispers of the wind, feeling the breath of the clouds, and even capturing every collision of sword energy and water vapor in the air.

The old woman's face was as calm as water, and the years had carved deep wrinkles on her face.

However, these marks did not make her look old, but instead added a bit of calmness and composure to her.

Although the old woman did not participate in the fierce competition between Ning Meng and Su Ya, her presence added a bit of solemnity and dignity to the entire battlefield.

She seemed like a guardian, quietly observing the battle and witnessing the growth and transformation of her two disciples.

As time went by, the competition between Ning Meng and Su Ya became more intense.

Each of their attacks was as surging as the ocean waves; the sword light and water vapor intertwined to form dazzling light and shadows.

These lights and shadows shuttled and collided in the clouds and mist, as if submerging the entire peak in endless waves.

Finally, after a thunderous confrontation, the two women put away their swords at the same time and stood firmly in place.

Their figures were looming in the mist, as if two fairies had just descended from the clouds.

Ning Meng's hair fluttered gently with her breathing. A few strands of wet hair stuck to her cheeks, setting off her cheeks which were slightly red due to the fierce battle.

The elegant hem of her clothes swayed gently as she sheathed her sword. Her originally neat clothes now looked a little messy, but this only added to her heroic appearance after the battle.

"Seventh Elder!"

The two women turned to face the old woman on the huge rock and bowed respectfully, their gestures humble yet elegant.

On the rock, the old woman was still sitting cross-legged, like a stone sculpture, blending perfectly with the surrounding clouds and rocks.

At the call, the old woman slowly opened her eyes. Her gaze was as deep as an ancient well, revealing the vicissitudes of life and the accumulation of wisdom in her calmness.

“Not bad, not bad.” The old woman’s voice was low, “Ruan Ningmeng, your cultivation in the late stage of Yuanshen Realm has been completely stabilized.

“Your swordsmanship is advanced, and your body movements are light and graceful. You are truly the pride of our water lineage.

“Shui Suya, your cultivation has improved rapidly.

"Although it seems a little bit pretentious, it is rare to achieve this in just a few years..."

Shui Suya interrupted the old woman a little embarrassedly: "Seventh Elder, there are no outsiders here now, why are you being so formal?"

There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice, which was completely different from her heroic fighting attitude just now.

The old woman smiled slightly when she heard this, with a look of doting on her face.

She is Shui Huixin, the elder of Shuiyun Peak of Tianyun Sect, and belongs to the water lineage.

At this moment, the afterglow of the sunset is like gentle golden threads, spreading densely on the wide stone platform, dyeing the entire world into a warm golden color.

The golden light is like a veil of god, gently covering the top of the peak.

Every rock on the peak seems to be endowed with life, gleaming with a unique luster in the golden afterglow, like countless carefully carved gems, shining brightly.

Ruan Ningmeng and Shui Suya stood side by side on the peak, their figures looking particularly dazzling in the golden light.

Suddenly, a dazzling white light streaked across the sky, carrying unparalleled power, and instantly landed on the stone peak platform.

The light faded, revealing the figure of a man dressed in Tianyun Sect clothing.

"What's the matter?" Shui Huixin asked.

The Tianyun Sect disciple replied respectfully, "Disciple Chai Min greets the Seventh Elder. The Great Elder asked the disciple to pass a message to Senior Sister Ning Meng."

"Give it to me?" Ruan Ningmeng was stunned and said hesitantly.

"Yes." Chai Min nodded and said, "The Great Elder said that he hopes Senior Sister Ning Meng will not forget the agreement you made with Li Yuanlong of the Longyang Li Clan more than fifty years ago.

"Now that the sixtieth anniversary is approaching, I hope Senior Sister Ning Meng can make preparations early and not let the other two sects get hold of us."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shui Suya shouted, "Li Yuanlong has disappeared for more than 50 years, where can we find him?

"Doesn't the Great Elder want Junior Sister Ning Meng to take over the position of Junior Master?"

Chai Min bowed hurriedly and said, “Senior Sister Suya, you can’t say such things carelessly.

“The Great Elder is mainly concerned about the reputation of our water lineage.

"If Senior Sister Ning Meng cannot fulfill her promise, she cannot take over as the Young Master." "The affairs of Shuiyun Peak will still be managed by the Council of Elders."

Shui Suya snorted coldly and said, "Does the Great Elder really want us to find someone who has disappeared for more than fifty years?"

"You don't have to look for him." Chai Min responded, "The great elder said that in recent years, there is a descendant of the Longyang Li family, whose reputation is far better than that of Li Yuanlong back then.

"According to the information sent back by our disciples, this person is very likely the Li Yuanlong of that year."

"Could it be that the Great Elder just picked one at random?" Shui Suya said hesitantly.

Chai Min said: "Senior Sister Suya, I am only responsible for delivering the message.

"The Great Elder said that he does not have the ability to find such a genius.

“If Senior Sister Ning Meng can defeat this man, she can take over as Young Master.

“He believed that the other two veins would not have any objections.

"If you cannot defeat this person, please leave as soon as possible, Senior Sister Ningmeng."

Ruan Ningmeng asked, "Did the Great Elder really say that?"

Shui Suya followed up and said, "Junior sister, don't worry. Among the disciples of the same age in Tianyun Sect, there are only a handful of people of your age who have advanced to the late stage of Yuanshen Realm."

"Is the Great Elder talking about Li Yuan?" Shui Huixin suddenly asked at this time.

"That's right." Chai Min nodded.

"Li Yuan?" Ruan Ningmeng and Shui Suya were both stunned, obviously they had never heard of him.

Shui Huixin waved her hand and said, "Okay, you go down first."

"Yes." Chai Min bowed, then flew up on his sword, turning into a long rainbow and flying towards the sky.

"Senior Sister Ning Meng, the Great Elder said that Li Yuan does not seem to have any plans to go to Tianyun Sect, so please go down the mountain to look for him as soon as possible to avoid missing the deadline set that year."

When Chai Min's figure disappeared, a voice came from the horizon.

"Let Junior Sister Ningmeng find it herself?" Shui Suya hesitated, "Is this person really the Li Yuanlong of the past?"

Shui Huixin hesitated for a moment and said, "There is no rush for this matter. According to the sixty-year deadline set by the great elder, there are still nearly four years left.

"However, if you want to win, Ning Meng, you must advance to the peak of the late stage of Yuan Shen Realm in the next few years to have a chance."

"The peak of the late stage of the Yuanshen realm?" Shui Suya was shocked when she heard this, "How is this possible? How long has Junior Sister been able to stabilize her cultivation?

“If I can really enter the late stage of Yuan Shen Realm in a few years, I will definitely be a genius in the top 100 of the Thousand Kings List in the future, and maybe even the top 10.

"Isn't this a bit too difficult for Junior Sister?"

Shui Huixin looked at Ruan Ningmeng and said in a deep voice: "Ningmeng, I am not trying to embarrass you, but Li Yuan is definitely not an ordinary person.

“During your retreat, I had contact with Patriarch Ruan.

“Li Yuan is not the Li Yuanlong of the past, but she has no evidence.

"Shui Qingruo insists, you have no choice but to accept this duel."

"Grandma is back?" Ruan Ningmeng asked excitedly.

Nodding slightly, Shui Huixin said in a deep voice: "I have come out of the sect to confirm Li Yuan's rise in recent years.

“The head of the Ruan family returned to the Jingshui Ruan family four years ago.

“She has no plans to meet you for the time being, and you have been promoted to Heavenly King.

“As long as you don’t leave Tianyun Sect, you must put the sect first.

“You must intensify your cultivation. Regardless of whether you leave Tianyun Sect or not, you must not let down the kindness that Chairman Shui Jing showed you back then.

“As for Li Yuan’s identity, even the Longyang Li family didn’t know that such a person existed in their family.

"However, as long as Li Yuan doesn't come out and deny it himself, the Longyang Li family will not take the initiative to deny it."

"Ah." Shui Suya hesitated, "Why is that?"

"This person has represented the Longyang Li family and has been listed on the top three list of the Hundred Family Prodigies. You should know what this list means?"

"The top three on the list of the top 100 geniuses?" Shui Suya asked in surprise, "How old is this person?"

"Will Shui Qing find someone who doesn't match the age and let Ning Meng fulfill the agreement?" Shui Huixin asked back.

Shui Suya guessed, "Same age as Junior Sister?
"The top three Yuanists on the Hundred Family Prodigies List, at least the weakest, have the strength of around 700th on the Thousand Kings List.

“I may not be able to defeat some of the top-ranked geniuses, but my junior sister…”

As she spoke, Shui Suya turned and looked at Ruan Ningmeng.

Ruan Ningmeng was a little confused and said softly: "It doesn't matter who wins or loses.

"The Great Elder wants to take control of Shuiyun Peak, which is actually not bad for the water lineage."

In fact, Ruan Ningmeng has been worried about Li Yuanlong over the years and wanted to know whether the latter was dead or alive.

Shui Suya snorted coldly: "If it is good for the sect, it is naturally a good thing.

"It's just that the Great Elder has always been selfish. If he really takes full control of the power, and he doesn't have much time left, he will squander the sect's resources for his own personal use and impact the Transformation Realm."

Shui Huixin sighed softly and said, "Before the leader left, he specifically told me about this.

“Ning Meng is actually not suitable for the intrigue-filled situation at Shuiyun Peak.

“If you want to leave, you can leave at any time.

“However, since the sixty-year agreement was made back then, and the Great Elder asked you to fulfill it, you still have to do it, after all, it involves the reputation of the sect.

"In the next few years, you can practice with peace of mind. I will observe Li Yuan's movements for you."

Ruan Ningmeng nodded and said, "If there is any news about Li Yuanlong, please inform me in time, Seventh Elder."

Shui Huixin shook her head and sighed: "Li Yuanlong...

"Master Ruan has been looking for it for more than ten years but still hasn't found it. I'm afraid it's a bit difficult."

Longshan City, this ancient city located in the Wen River Basin, is famous for the Longshan Tan Family.

Every inch of land in the city seems to be filled with the accumulation of years and the weight of history.

It is said that this was once the territory of the dragon clan, but later a shocking war occurred, causing countless powerful people to die here.

There are even rumors that among those who fell, there were powerful people in the Life Spirit Realm.

After the death of a powerful dragon, he turns into a pool of real dragon blood, which can help those whose cultivation level has dropped quickly recover.

However, as time went by, the True Dragon Blood Pool had been used by countless powerful people, and its effect was no longer even a fraction of what it was at the beginning.

Moreover, few people know the exact location of the True Dragon Blood Tan, and it is now controlled by the Tan family who established Longshan City.

The city wall of Longshan City is like a giant dragon winding and circling, built against the mountain, and is majestic.

The city wall is a thousand feet high and a hundred feet wide at the top, guarding this ancient city.
