Chapter 411: Chapter 232 An Encounter with Wen Yong, Earth Spirit Jade Marrow
 

“`

In the midst of thorny weeds, Xu Yan performed the Dust Technique to its limit; the thorns and weeds concealed his body.

His breath blended with the thorny weeds.

The Yu Xiaolong wrapped around Xu Yan’s wrist was being squeezed so hard its eyes were about to pop out; its body instinctively wanted to wriggle, but suddenly froze.

Subconsciously, it knew that if it moved, it might be strangled to death!

An elder appeared from afar in mid-air, using his Divine Soul Force to sweep the surroundings, not missing even a single blade of grass!

He carefully examined the thorny weed patch; only after confirming that the person he sought was not there did he swiftly leave!

A Divine Refinement Celestial!

Xu Yan’s expression was solemn. Could it be that a Divine Refinement Celestial was pursuing him because the Azure Heaven Flood Dragon was so valued?

“Perhaps it’s because Azure Heaven Flood Dragon arranged for itself to become a corpse beast after death. Do all these Divine Refinement Celestials want to become corpse beasts after death?”

Xu Yan pondered in his heart.

Strong as the Azure Heaven Flood Dragon was, it couldn’t fully succeed; how many of these Divine Refinement Celestials could achieve it?

Ultimately, they would only become bloodthirsty, violent corpse creatures.

Of course, whether these Divine Refinement Celestials had this intention was yet unknown.

Xu Yan lay motionless in the thorny weeds, not getting up to leave immediately.

In less than half an hour, a wave of Divine Soul Force swept through again.

The departing Divine Refinement Celestial had actually returned.

The individual lingered mid-air for a moment, then continued exploring in a certain direction.

Only after nightfall, when the Divine Refinement Celestial no longer appeared, did Xu Yan emerge from the weeds, quickly identifying a direction and hurrying away.

At the same time, he released his grip from the Yu Xiaolong’s neck.

“Cough, cough… You almost strangled me to death!”

Yu Xiaolong flicked its tongue.

“You don’t have to doubt me, if you’re discovered, I can’t escape death either. I’m a Spirit Beast, I have Flood Dragon bloodline. How could they spare me if I’m with you?”

Yu Xiaolong was very disheartened.

Is there really no trust at all?

Xu Yan calmly said, “Better safe than sorry, can’t be too careful!”

“You are my hope to fulfill my dreams; I wouldn’t harm you, you have to believe me.”

Yu Xiaolong poked its head out, looking very aggrieved.

“We’ll talk about it later; these Divine Refinement Celestials have appeared, can’t be too cautious.”

Xu Yan’s expression was grave.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaolong’s eyes became serious, saying, “Since the Yu Divine Sect and the Su Family dispatched Divine Refinement Celestials, could it be that the person you killed had significant status?”

Then it immediately dismissed this possibility, “Unlikely; those were just two regular deacons, and the prodigious figures, was it for the Azure Heaven Flood Dragon?”

“Most likely.”

Xu Yan nodded.

“Impossible, the transformation of the Azure Heaven Flood Dragon into a corpse beast isn’t enough incentive for Divine Refinement Celestials to act personally to capture you. Those Divine Refinement Celestials are exalted; there are plenty of strong Celestials in the sect, why would they need to act themselves?”

Yu Xiaolong refuted.

“But, the fact is, Divine Refinement Celestials appeared!”

Xu Yan said solemnly.

Yu Xiaolong fell silent; though confused, the presence of the Divine Refinement Celestials was undeniable.

“How far is it to where the Earth Spirit Dragon Qi resides?”

Xu Yan asked seriously.

“Quite far.”

Yu Xiaolong flicked its tongue, saying, “Now there’s only one path, although it’s hidden, it’s not easy to traverse and might harbor some dangers.”

“How dangerous?”

“If unlucky, the dangers equate to facing mid-to-late-stage small Celestial Spirit Beasts, and there might even be toxic gas…”

“That’s not considered dangerous, as long as we can avoid the Divine Refinement Celestials.”

“Alright, from here, a hundred miles away, under a big mountain, there is a deep pool. Diving inside, there’s an underground river, and a passage hidden for thousands of miles by a strong Spirit Beast… It’s so obscure, it’s likely unknown.”

Without hesitation, Xu Yan quickly reached the deep pool Yu Xiaolong mentioned, dove straight in, and entered the underground passage.

The passage was dark; at intervals, the rock walls were inlaid with Moonlight Stones.

From the shape and traces of the passage, it seemed like the burrow of a serpent-like creature.

“Be careful; there might be Spirit Beasts living underground or the occasional spread of toxic gas.”

Yu Xiaolong cautioned.

Sword Intent emerged from Xu Yan’s body, enshrouding him as he advanced swiftly.

Wen Yong leaned against the damp, dark rock wall, gasping violently, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, face pale.

With trembling hands, he took some pills from his storage bag and swallowed them.

“Who killed Dai Yingying? Is this a setup against me?”

Wen Yong’s eyes were moist, full of regret. He shouldn’t have spoken rashly in a moment of impulsiveness.

It was Dai Yingying who had gone too far, and in righteous indignation, he couldn’t hold back.

Being hunted by the Dai Family was expected.

After all, noble families stood high, not tolerating the threats of a loose cultivator.

However, Wen Yong wasn’t too worried about this; after all, he was a member of the Wanshi Alliance. The Dai Family would find it hard to kill him.

Furthermore, at worst, he could fake his death to escape.

The Wanshi Alliance had plans for this.

He never expected Dai Yingying to be murdered, leaving him as the prime suspect!

The Dai Family also believed he killed Dai Yingying.

Not only did they send out strong Celestials, but even the Dai Family’s Divine Refinement Celestial Ancestor personally acted.

“I almost got caught!”

Wen Yong’s face was full of fear.

“Why are the Yu Divine Sect and the Su Family pursuing this person?”
