Chapter 971: One Dragon Is Missing
The Will of Burial Earth no longer looked at the girl in the silver dress, nor dared to speculate on the meaning behind her words.
Awe of death?
It may not revere anything else, but it must revere death.
This is a feeling that comes from the very core of one's being, one that cannot be ignored or erased.
Why should it exist because of "death"?
"cough……"
The will of the Burial Ground forcefully suppressed the turmoil in his heart, striving to maintain a steady voice, and said, "Venerable One, since you know this... junior, that's all the better. As agreed, I will now escort the three of you away from the Burial Ground." In fact...
It gathers the power and memories of countless dead souls, and among many of these memory fragments, there is a vague entity that bears a resemblance to the human powerhouse before us.
Regardless of the true identity of this human being, his power level and background far exceed its expectations.
It just wants to complete the transaction as soon as possible and get rid of these "hot potatoes" safely.
"Alright, alright, thank you for your help, brother."
Gu Heng couldn't care less about pretending to be profound at this moment. It was a rare opportunity for Xiao Bai to reunite with him, so they had plenty to talk about!
"I'm so glad to see you. It's been so long since we last met."
Xiao Bai reappeared in human form. This time, Gu Heng carefully examined him. Xiao Bai's appearance had changed a lot from what he had imagined; he was more mature and weathered. Just by guessing, Gu Heng felt that Xiao Bai must have had a difficult time. "I know you must have been waiting for a long time. Let's leave first, and we can talk about other things later."
Gu Heng was eager to know how everyone else was doing.
The will of the burial earth no longer hesitated. Blood mist surged, and a spatial passage, far more stable and wider than when those geniuses were sent away before, slowly took shape in front of the three.
At the end of the passage, a faint, bustling atmosphere and intense energy fluctuations, unlike the deathly silence of the burial ground, could be heard.
"That's the closest dragon city to the Burial Grounds, Burning Heaven City."
"Please, Your Excellency."
The will to bury the earth has been lowered even further.
Gu Heng took a deep breath, holding Gu Xitong's cold little hand with one hand and patting Xiaobai's shoulder with the other: "Let's go, let's leave here."
The three figures disappeared into the spatial passage, vanishing completely from the core of the Burial Ground in a flash of light. The blurry figure of the Burial Ground's will stared at the spot where the passage had disappeared for a long time, two points of eerie light flickering uncertainly before finally turning into a long and complex sigh.
"They're finally gone! Those two jinxes!"
Its burden has been completely lifted.
in fact.
It was also because the will to bury the earth truly could not withstand it.
Despite its severe injuries, it repeatedly used its power. It didn't know how long it would sleep this time, or even if it would never wake up. But the will of the burial ground no longer cared about that.
If I can wake up, then I'll think about all the troubles I'll have to face after I wake up...
The blood mist dissipated, sinking into the boundless depths of the burial ground.
The true dragon is buried in the earth, returning to silence once more.
……
Outside the True Dragon Burial Ground. At the entrance of the burial ground, which was made of a huge dragon head skeleton, the space rippled like water, and twelve figures were instantly "spit out"—the twelve dragon prodigies who had made it to the end in the Ancestral Soul Trial.
As soon as they appeared, the powerful clan leaders, elders, and guardians of various races, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately surrounded them.
"Yang Zhun, what happened in the trial? Did you receive any divine blessings?"
The Yangyun clan leader asked impatiently, his voice booming.
"Yuezi, what happened inside? Why is the aura of the Burial Ground's will fluctuating so violently?"
The patriarch of the Moon Spirit Clan also hurriedly grabbed Yue Zi, wanting to get to the bottom of things.
Almost every dragon clan powerhouse is in a hurry right now. After the burial ground trembled earlier, their senses were completely cut off, and they couldn't see anything inside! At such a critical moment, suddenly losing sight of them, how could they not be anxious?
What they were most worried about was something happening to their precious clan members.
After all, the entire True Dragon Burial Ground was in turmoil, and that kind of power was by no means insignificant. These juniors, being in the midst of it, were nothing more than a lone boat with their strength, and would be easily crushed.
Fortunately.
These exceptional talents all survived.
"..."
Faced with their elders' questions, the twelve prodigies felt a chill run down their spines, instantly recalling the cold warning from the will of the burial ground.
They exchanged a knowing glance.
Yang Zhun took a deep breath, his face showing just the right amount of excitement and a hint of fatigue as he spoke: "Reporting to Uncle, esteemed seniors, the Ancestral Soul Trial has been completed! We have all successfully bathed in the Dragon God's grace and received 'divine gifts'!"
He emphasized the words "divinely bestowed".
Xingxia lowered her head, her voice calm and composed, displaying the most indifferent demeanor: "Senior Burial Earth Will was merely presiding over the trial as usual; there was nothing special about it. We are already extremely fortunate to have received this divine gift."
The other prodigies echoed this sentiment, their statements consistent.
Since everyone here is a dragon spirit, they can easily coordinate with each other.
Anyway, just don't reveal that there was once an ridiculously powerful human in the True Dragon Burial Ground!
but.
Their predecessors were not rigid or dull old dragons. They were experienced and knowledgeable. Although they were not as shrewd as humans, they were not easily fooled.
The younger generation's words... there's something wrong with them. While their words carry the excitement of seizing an opportunity, upon closer listening, they seem somewhat contrived...
Moreover, their emotions were still fluctuating.
wrong.
There must be something else.
"Really?"
Yang Yun looked suspicious, but he also secretly examined the bodies of these geniuses and found that their bloodlines had indeed been nourished and become much stronger.
But he just felt the taste was off.
"Yes, Uncle, that's true."
Yang Zhun remained expressionless, his main strategy being to reveal absolutely nothing.
He also knew that these elders wouldn't search their souls or investigate their destinies, and the other prodigies were aware of this as well, so they all kept their mouths shut, insisting that everything was normal and that what they had received was a blessing from the Dragon God. In the end, these powerful dragons watching the battle from outside could only suppress their doubts.
Anyway, the trial is over, and the rewards have been received. If there are no unexpected developments, then everyone is happy.
Apart from.
Bai Jun, who hadn't seen Xiao Bai at all, was now extremely anxious.
"Wait! Where's Bai Ling? Why isn't he out?!"
Only after he said that did the other dragons realize that only twelve had been teleported out!
There were thirteen people who met the will of the Burial Ground, including one from the Bai Feng clan, who had a fourth-class bloodline, but he is now missing!
"What? He's gone?"
Yuezi's eyes widened.
My dear younger brother, whom I've decided to spend my life with, didn't even come out with me?!
This is not possible!
