Chapter 1735 - 1735 Thirteen Hills

1735 Thirteen Hills

Miao Yao was at a loss for words!

Even though Chu Liuyue’s words were harsh, they were the truth!

Since she had won the bet that day, this skeleton belonged to her. Thus, she naturally could decide how she wanted to deal with it. Even if it was their great phoenix dragon clan’s skeleton, they still had no right to intervene.

At the end of the day, he was still responsible for this!

Whispers could be heard from the surroundings. “Elder Miao Yao still has the cheek to stand up and talk… If he wasn’t too useless that day and lost the bet, why would we be getting angry at Shangguan Yue for nothing?”

“That’s right! Because of his own mistake, he caused our clan’s skeleton to land in someone else’s hands, and we can’t get it back… This is a major mistake, but Elder Miao Yao hasn’t received much punishment until now. I really don’t know what the clan leader is thinking…”

“How is there no punishment? Didn’t you see that the clan leader didn’t allow Elder Miao Yao to participate in this Thousand Summit? You need to know that Elder Miao Yao played quite a significant role in the past few Thousand Summits…”

“How is this enough? All these years, our clan’s skeletons have never been left outside, and we were left with no right to pursue the matter. If it weren’t for Elder Miao Yao’s negligence this time, we wouldn’t be so wronged…”

“If I were him, I wouldn’t have the cheek to come to this Thousand Summit!”

…

All sorts of discussions kept entering Miao Yao’s ears, causing his face to flush green. He felt humiliated, and he wanted to dig a hole and hide inside!

He had long known that this incident would affect him quite a bit, but everyone wouldn’t directly say it to his face. Even Clan Leader Miao Yang did not harshly reprimand him and just silently gave away the power in his hands.

Even though Miao Yao was aggrieved, he knew that this was the last bit of dignity Miao Yang had left for him.

As time passed, the matter would gradually fade away. However, he didn’t expect Shangguan Yue and Rong Xiu to come!

They even directly produced the skeleton in front of them! Wasn’t that tearing off his skin in public?!

When the clansmen saw the skeleton, they clearly didn’t plan to tolerate it anymore. Without thinking, Miao Yao knew that he would have terrible days ahead in the clan!

And if Rong Xiu did anything to the skeleton… Miao Yao felt that he would become the entire clan’s sinner!

He couldn’t catch his breath as his body shook, and his face was extremely pale.

Chu Liuyue asked concernedly, “Elder Miao Yao, your face doesn’t look too good. Have you not fully recovered from the previous time?”

As she spoke, she raised her brows slightly and looked confused. “That shouldn’t be… I was quite restrained when I took action…”

Miao Yao was stifled and almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Restrained? What does she mean?! Did she even spare me mercy that time?! What will the crowd think when they hear this?!

“Y-you!” Miao Yao was stifled. This Shangguan Yue clearly did it on purpose!

Chu Liuyue smiled genuinely and warmly. “Do you want to rest first? I see that Clan Leader Miao Yang and the rest are still here. Even if you leave for a while, it won’t have much of an impact.”

Miao Yao’s eyesight turned dark as his entire body trembled!

Miao Yang knitted his brows.

Miao Yao’s behavior is too humiliating. If it weren’t because he is experienced and has contributed quite a bit to the clan, this skeleton incident alone is enough to punish him harshly. Originally, I thought that Miao Yao would be more restrained after this ordeal. I didn’t expect him not to improve and instead become worse and have less tolerance.

Miao Yang looked down and covered the cold gleam in his eyes.

“Clan Leader Miao Yang, don’t worry. I’m just using this skeleton to repair the jade disc. I have no intention of breaking it.” Rong Xiu smiled slightly.

This was Godly Dragon Island. He wouldn’t completely offend the entire great phoenix dragon clan here.

When Miao Yang heard this, his tense face relaxed slightly.

He stared at Rong Xiu for a while before he finally nodded. “Go ahead!”

…

In the God-Killing Tumulus, the originally tense and gloomy suppression seemed to be relieved by quite a bit.

Tuan Zi and the rest journeyed to the outside very quickly. Even the weakest Chu Ning could forcefully follow the crowd after borrowing Shangguan Jing’s Yuan instrument.

Not long later, they came to the edge of the God-Killing Tumulus and stood before the Red Soul Woods.

With the previous experience and without any outsiders disturbing them, they passed through it very smoothly.

In the evening, their group of people walked out of the Red Soul Woods and completely left the God-Killing Tumulus!

When he took the last step out, Shangguan Jing couldn’t help but turn back to take a look.

It was already evening. The sun shone in and cast a light golden glow in the entire Red Soul Woods.

The black trees stood upright, and the bright-red leaves swayed with the winds.

I never thought that I would come here again and completely resolve my grudge against Yu Hongshan. I wonder where Yue’er is and if she is safe. Thinking of this, he retracted his gaze and looked at Tuan Zi.

Not only him, the others present were also waiting for Tuan Zi. Out of all of them, only she could bring them to find Rong Xiu and Chu Liuyue.

Tuan Zi crossed her arms, held her chin, and sank into deep thought. After a moment, she raised her chubby hand and pointed in a direction. “Over there!”

…

The group of them immediately rushed in the direction Tuan Zi pointed without hesitation.

Time slowly trickled past, and it seemed especially excruciating. But luckily, Tuan Zi and Chu Liuyue always had a telepathic connection. This also proved that Chu Liuyue should be safe at least for the time being.

The closer she was, the stronger Tuan Zi’s telepathic connection. The two party’s distance was clearly shortening, and this made everyone more relieved.

But gradually, Yi Zhao and Elder Yi Yu discovered something amiss.

Elder Yi Yu lowered his head.

At this point, they were passing by a barren land.

This land structure was special as there was a deep trench that cut across the yellow barren land. Looking down from above, this deep or slightly shallow trench spread across the barren land in a magnificent manner.

This place…

Elder Yi Yu couldn’t hold back, leaning toward Yi Zhao’s side and softly asking, “Clan Leader, do you think this place… seems a little amiss?”

A normal barren piece of land wouldn’t be this picturesque. In his impression, there seemed to be only one place that looked like this.

Yi Zhao seemed to have guessed his inner thoughts as he nodded affirmatively and said, “What you’re thinking is right. This place is indeed the Thirteen Hills.”

Even though Elder Yi Yu had expected it earlier, he was still taken aback when he heard the affirmative answer.

The so-called Thirteen Hills referred to this barren land.

Rumor had it that 10,000 years ago, 13 great phoenix dragon clan ancestors had ascended here. After they died, the Heaven and Earth Force here shook and caused this place to end up in its current state. Hence, the descendants called it the ‘Thirteen Hills.’

But the key was—this place was the great phoenix dragon clan’s territory!
