Chapter 149 Soul Bone and Her
Holy Soul Village.
Upon arriving in Notting City, Jiang Bai inquired about Holy Soul Village.
Before long, we arrived at the small village.
Jiang Li’er stood at the village entrance, gazing at this ordinary rural village, her eyes filled with confusion.
What are we doing here?
She couldn’t help but ask ,"This is just an ordinary little village, what kind of treasure could it possibly contain?"
"It can’t be a 100,000-year-old soul bone, can it?"
Jiang Bai was slightly taken aback."How did you know?"
Jiang Li’er :"???"
Her eyes widened."There really is?!"
Jiang Bai didn’t explain , but simply took her hand and flew towards the back mountain of the village.
After passing through a grove of trees and crossing a hill, the faint sound of water could be heard ahead.
It was a waterfall cascading down a cliff, about thirty meters high. The water flow was not too rapid, and it fell into a clear pool below, splashing up layers of mist.
Sunlight shines through the mist, refracting a faint rainbow.
Jiang Bai stood by the pool , gazing up at the waterfall.
He put one arm around Jiang Li’er’s waist, used the other hand to support the soul power barrier, and leaped into the waterfall!
The water curtain parted in front of me and then quickly closed behind me.
Beyond the waterfall lies a hidden paradise.
It was a natural cave about three meters high, with the entrance perfectly concealed by the waterfall.
Jiang Bai put Jiang Li’er down and walked into the cave.
The cave wasn’t deep; after about twenty steps, the view suddenly opened up before us.
It was a stone chamber that was only about ten square meters in size.
The stone chamber was empty , devoid of any furnishings or decorations. Only in the very center of the floor was a small, raised mound of earth.
On the mound, a slender blue silver grass sways gently in the wind.
The Blue Silver Grass was completely different from the ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Its leaves were larger and softer, with faint golden patterns flowing between the veins, radiating a soft and sacred halo in the dim cave.
Jiang Li’er held her breath.
She took a few steps closer, bent down, and gently reached out to touch the leaves of the blue silver grass.
The leaves trembled slightly , like a startled little animal.
Jiang Li’er’s voice was soft, filled with disbelief :"This is... the Blue Silver Emperor?"
The Blue Silver Emperor sensed the presence of a stranger, and its leaves trembled violently, the golden veins shimmering. It wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to escape.
She was just a blade of grass.
A blade of grass that cannot be uprooted.
Jiang Bai did not disturb Jiang Li’er.
He walked to the deepest part of the stone chamber , where there was a stone wall. Without hesitation, he gathered his soul power in his right palm and slammed it against the stone wall!
Boom—!
The stone wall shattered instantly, sending fragments of stone flying everywhere.
As the smoke and dust cleared, a black box, about 1.5 meters long and 1 foot wide, fell from the gap in the stone wall and landed steadily in Jiang Bai’s hands.
It feels extremely heavy when you hold it.
He opened the box.
Inside the box, a piece of right leg bone, translucent and shimmering with blue-gold light, lay quietly on a black velvet cloth.
Its bones are slender and elongated, like the finest work of art. Magnificent golden patterns naturally form on its surface, emitting a faint glow in the dimly lit stone chamber.
100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor.
Jiang Bai reached out and put the soul bone into the soul tool.
Meanwhile, the Blue Silver Emperor swayed even more violently.
Jiang Bai looked at the Blue Silver Emperor plant that was trembling violently.
He paused for a moment, then raised his right hand.
A nine-colored glazed pagoda appeared in his palm. A nine-colored beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping the slender blue silver grass.
the beam of light receded , the Blue Silver Emperor had vanished and been absorbed into the tower’s inner world.
Inside the tower, beside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire , on a newly reclaimed piece of land, a Blue Silver Emperor stands against the wind.
One breath... two breaths... three breaths...
Gradually, the leaves that had been struggling violently stopped trembling, and the golden veins softened.
At least here, her roots can finally stretch freely, and her leaves can finally bask in the sunlight.
Although that sunlight was an artificial light source simulated by the Nine-Colored Glazed Pagoda.
But compared to that dark, damp, and perpetually sunless cave, this place is already paradise!
Outside world.
Jiang Bai put away the small tower and turned to look at Jiang Li’er.
Jiang Li’er remained standing there, gazing at the empty little mound, lost in thought.
Jiang Bai walked over and took her hand :"Let’s go. Let’s go back."
...
Soto City, Qibao Hotel.
The three- story building is constructed entirely of blue bricks, with carved beams and painted rafters, and upturned eaves. There is also a separate courtyard in the backyard of the hotel, exclusively for distinguished guests.
At this moment, in the innermost upper room.
Ning Rongrong sat by the window , watching the setting sun gradually sink in the west, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes.
It’s been three days.
since Grandpa Bone chased after that blonde woman.
She waited from dawn till dusk, and then from dusk till dawn again. She lost her appetite and couldn’t sleep at night. Every time she heard footsteps outside the courtyard, she would rush to the window and look out.
But each time, it was disappointment.
"Grandpa Bone... why haven’t you come back yet..."
She murmured, her eyes reddening again.
At first, she wasn’t worried.
Bone is a level 95 Title Douluo, and his Bone Dragon Martial Soul is a top-tier Martial Soul with spatial attributes. So what if that blonde woman has a Title Douluo backing her up?
Can he beat Grandpa Bone?
Even if he can’t win , with Grandpa Bone’s spatial abilities, who can stop him from running away?
But a day passed, two days passed, three days passed...
Where are they?
Ning Rongrong started to feel scared.
A terrible thought , like a venomous snake, crawled into her mind: Grandpa Bone... could something have happened to him?
"impossible!"
She shook her head violently, banishing the thought.
"Impossible... impossible... Grandpa Bone would never be in trouble..."
But her body was more honest than her mouth; her fingers were trembling slightly.
Another night passed.
On the morning of the fourth day, as the first rays of sunlight streamed through the window, Ning Rongrong finally couldn’t sit still any longer.
She jumped to her feet, rushed out of the room , and found the hotel manager :"Quick! Arrange a carriage and guards for me! I need to get back to my sect!"
The supervisor was startled. Seeing the young lady’s haggard face and swollen eyes, he didn’t dare ask any more questions and quickly replied ,"Yes, yes, please wait a moment, young lady, I’ll take care of it right away!"
A moment later, a richly decorated carriage pulled by two fine horses pulled up in front of the hotel. Four guards mounted their horses and stood guard on either side of the carriage.
Ning Rongrong jumped onto the carriage, her voice urgent :"Quick! Back to the sect!"
The coachman cracked his whip, and the carriage sped out of Soto City, heading north at breakneck speed.
...
Two days and one night.
The carriage traveled almost non-stop, only stopping briefly when changing horses. The guards took turns driving, while Ning Rongrong curled up in the carriage, hugging her knees, staring blankly at the scenery rushing past the window.
Her face grew paler and paler, her eyes became darker and darker, and she looked like a completely different person.
The carriage drove straight into the sect and stopped in front of the main hall.
Ning Rongrong jumped out of the car, staggered up the steps, and rushed into the main hall.
