Chapter 1376: Coincidence

Chu Liuyue furrowed her brows. “The Flood-Desert Northern Region’s conditions are terrible, and the climate is extreme. Almost nobody can stay here for an extended period of time. Besides, the snowy field is vast. Even if there’s someone—”

Suddenly, her voice paused.?It was clearly obvious in the snowy field, but… What if they are underground?! This place is vast without edges and boundaries. Who could guess what is hidden underneath??

She hadn’t forgotten that there was a tombstone hidden underground in that gully!

Thinking of this, Chu Liuyue was curious and couldn’t help but ask, “Oh right, do you know who died here and set up a tomb cave and a tombstone?”

The legendary three-eyed eagle at the front had a slight change in expression. “Um… A thousand years ago, a great battle did happen here. If you’re talking about the tombstone that the nine dragon skeletons are guarding… It should be right.”

Chu Liuyue’s eyelids twitched. “Nine dragons… guarding?”

“Yeah! Back then, that strong warrior had an intense battle with the dragon clan here and later met his demise. But when he died, he dragged a total of nine dragons down with him. After his death, he still used his scarce amount of force to suppress them here so that they wouldn’t be able to struggle free.”

Chu Liuyue was a little surprised. “The dragon clan rarely interacts with humans. What exactly did that person do to be surrounded in this manner?”

“We’re not sure about this, but… I heard that it was related to a great phoenix dragon’s skeleton.”

Chu Liuyue’s heart suddenly seemed to be hit harshly. She suddenly looked up, and her expression was shocked. “What?”

The legendary three-eyed eagle thought that she had such a reaction when she heard the words ‘great phoenix dragon.’ After all, that was one of the two ancient legendary fiend races. It was pretty normal for her to have such a reaction, so it patiently explained, “We’re not too sure of the details, so we can only guess roughly what happened. Back then, that strong warrior unwittingly obtained a great phoenix dragon’s skeleton, and before he could do anything about it, he was discovered and attacked by the whole group of them, leading to the great battle.”

...

“It’s a pity that the dragon clan kind of underestimated that person’s capabilities. With nine dragons working together, they still weren’t the other party’s match. In the end, both parties died together. Of course, judging from the current situation, that strong warrior still gained a slight advantage. Even if he died, he still trapped the dragon clan members here.”

Countless thoughts flashed across Chu Liuyue’s mind.?A great phoenix dragon’s skeleton… I’ve seen it before, and two of its wing bones are on Zi Chen! Wasn’t it buried in Ancestor’s Tianling God Realm? How could it be… Is it a coincidence, or…?

Chu Liuyue looked down, but her heart was beating wildly.?It’s rare to even see a great phoenix dragon—an ancient legendary fiend—once, and the possibility of two skeletons appearing… isn’t very high. Besides, Ancestor had previously mentioned that he did come here once… Could it be…

A ridiculous and bold thought kept flashing in Chu Liuyue’s mind. She took a deep breath in and silently asked, “Since everyone knows that the dragon skeletons are trapped here, then… Why hasn’t the dragon clan made any moves? Rumors have it that they don’t… allow the corpses of their clan to be out in the open, right?”

“That is true, but you have to see the situation first. It isn’t that the dragon clan hasn’t come and tried to take these nine dragon skeletons away when they were trapped here for a thousand years. However, it was all to no avail. In the end, they decided not to come. But this just shows that the strong warrior back then was indeed formidable. If not, he wouldn’t be so powerful even after his death.”

Chu Liuyue’s mind was a mess as she started to call Shangguan Jing repeatedly. However, the latter seemed to be in a deep sleep and didn’t give her any reaction.

Zi Chen realized that Chu Liuyue’s expression was amiss. It thought of its wings and guessed something in its heart. “Do you want to go back and take a look?”

Chu Liuyue thought for a moment. “Okay.”

…

Time slowly trickled past.

The sky gradually darkened. Only the faint purplish-gold barrier was especially obvious in the area.

“It has been so long. Why isn’t there any movement? I wonder how Chu Yue is now…”

“They’re inside, and we’re outside. Even if something really happens, we can’t see it, so we should just wait!”

“I heard that Chu Yue has a red-tailed phoenix. Perhaps he can really get out of this dangerous situation.”

“I feel that it was even more shocking that he continuously broke through to become a stage-nine warrior after he was locked behind that door… Others can’t even beg for such a miraculous opportunity!”

“Luckily, the Heavenly Square Cauldron didn’t land in his hands. However, that item seems to be the legendary three-eyed eagles’? The news that previously came out didn’t mention this. I’m afraid we have to check on this properly…”

The crowd partook in heated discussions, and quite a few people started doubting this Heavenly Square Cauldron matter.

Everyone present had an important presence in the God Residence Realm, so they naturally had brains. Now that so many things had happened, they just had to think about it slightly and could detect the problem.

Now, they all planned on waiting for Chu Yue to come out before reaching a decision.

Ling Xiao Academy’s side was quiet. Chu Yue was their person, so they were naturally most worried.

Jiang Zhiyuan stood in an inconspicuous corner behind the group and treated her wounds on her own. Not to mention her other injuries, the most serious ones were still the burns on her arm.

Even though medicine was applied to the burns before, such a long time had passed, and the medicine should’ve long been changed. However, they kept running back and forth the entire time, so they didn’t have the time and energy to do this.

She slowly took off her bandage—her wound had already become rotten. With a light tug, she even peeled off some skin and meat.

It was so painful that her face flushed white, but she could only clench her teeth and continue with it.

At the side, Shi Rui’er unintentionally saw this scene, and mockery flashed across her eyes.

As Elder Dan Qing had already openly broken off his ties with Jiang Zhiyuan, everyone from Ling Xiao Academy now had a vastly different attitude toward Jiang Zhiyuan than before. This wasn’t because everyone looked down on the weak, but…

Elder Dan Qing had always loved and protected this disciple greatly. Now that this suddenly happened, it was clear that Jiang Zhiyuan had done something wrong.

He left a last bit of face for Jiang Zhiyuan and didn’t expose her in public. But everyone wasn’t stupid, so they naturally wouldn’t have a good attitude toward Jiang Zhiyuan. Hence, nobody even helped her treat her wounds now.

She had already lost most of her items, and she didn’t even have a slightly useful herb with her, so she could only forcefully get some herbs from the elders to apply to herself.

She was clearly miserable.

“She deserves it.” The elder with white brows followed Shi Rui’er’s gaze and coldly snorted.

This voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was enough for Jiang Zhiyuan to hear it clearly.

Jiang Zhiyuan was distracted for a moment and couldn’t control the force of her hands, directly pulling off a large piece of skin and meat that was stuck together. It was so painful that her face flushed white!

However, nobody cared about it as if she didn’t even exist.

Jiang Zhiyuan bit her lips.?This cannot go on… If something really happens, I will definitely be abandoned by everyone instantly!?

Suddenly, her eyes lit up as she turned around to take a look!?Chu Yue just came out, so… that door should still be open, right?!?
