Chapter 526: Do You Want To Be My Dog?
At the deepest part of Chaozong Gorge, a white great dragon lay coiled. Its white scales were as clear as jade, a pair of bright red horns rose from its head, and its eyes shone like dazzling rubies.

Just from its looks, you could imagine the grand sight of it soaring across the sky.

Yet now, several chains wrapped around its body like a giant net, binding it tight.

At the same time, a constant flow of spirit power was pouring through those chains into Lei Nuo’s body.

The Bixi Dragon-Tortoise, which had still been asleep, had been forced awake by Lei Nuo and was being used as a tool for him to absorb spirit power.

Having already accepted the Dragon Clan’s inheritance, the Bixi Dragon-Tortoise would never sit and wait for death.

Its dragon body thrashed wildly in the abyss. Its tail swept out, shattering stone and rock, but Lei Nuo’s rune chains clung to it like a parasite on bone, locking its body so it could not break free.

Its blood-red eyes were full of rage, and furious roars kept pouring from its mouth.

Master Qing Yan rushed in first and shouted as he charged into the depths of the gorge: “Courting death!”

A wave like a falling waterfall crashed toward Lei Nuo in front of him. Behind him came the Sect Masters of all the sects.

After years of working together, they had become more and more in tune.

Without anyone giving orders, everyone attacked at once.

Magic treasures and spells smashed toward Lei Nuo, trying to cut the link between him and the Bixi Dragon-Tortoise.

Lei Nuo gave a cold laugh and waved one hand. A huge black shield rose up in front of him, blocking all their attacks.

Then he yanked upward with his other hand.

The chains tightened all at once, grinding hard against the dragon scales and making a sound that set people’s teeth on edge.

The Bixi Dragon-Tortoise let out a miserable cry. Its jade-like dragon scales dimmed at a speed you could see with the naked eye.

Even so, it still struggled with all its strength. Its tail almost leveled the surroundings, but it still could not hurt Lei Nuo.

A cold light flashed in Master Qing Yan’s eyes.

He had first wanted to spare Lei Nuo’s life, but since Lei Nuo was seeking death himself, he could only send him on his way.

He suddenly bit through the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of essence blood. The blood melted into the seawater and, in the blink of an eye, spread into a whole sea of blood.

The bloody sea rolled and surged, giving off waves of ominous aura.

Seeing this, the others also stopped holding back and each used their strongest attacks.

The whole space twisted under the wild ripples of spirit power, and thunder-like booms sounded again and again.

A flicker of fear flashed through Lei Nuo’s eyes.

He was powerful, but in this world his strength had been greatly weakened. Now he faced opponents who were at the same cultivation level as he was, so he did not dare be careless.

He thought for a moment, then made up his mind.

He spread his hand toward the front. The chains binding the Bixi Dragon-Tortoise shattered at once, shrank quickly, and slipped back into his sleeve.

More than half of its spirit power had been drawn away. The Bixi Dragon-Tortoise collapsed weakly onto the ground.

Lei Nuo’s body blurred into a streak of black shadow and shot out of the gorge.

Master Qing Yan shouted angrily as the bloody sea lifted him up to give chase: “Trying to run? It won’t be that easy!”

The others also showed their various divine abilities.

However, Lei Nuo’s speed was shockingly fast. In a flash, he had rushed out of the gorge.

He stood high in the sky, his black robe snapping in the wind as he looked down at the people chasing him and said: “Qing Yan, if Ye Cong Xin hadn’t exposed herself so quickly, you never would have discovered me. You should really thank her. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even know how you died.”

“Ye Cong Xin?” Master Qing Yan’s steps faltered.

Lei Nuo laughed and said: “Do you think stopping me will slow down the destruction of the Cultivation World? No. The Cultivation World will be destroyed sooner or later. I’m just waiting to see that day. You ants can never escape the judgment of fate.”

Before his voice fell, Lei Nuo’s figure turned into a trail of black smoke and vanished between heaven and earth.

Everyone looked at each other, Lei Nuo’s last words still echoing again and again in their minds.

Lei Nuo was someone from outside this world. He must know some of the inside story to say such things.

Thinking of how the spirit power had grown thinner and thinner in recent years, and how no one had ascended in such a long time, their hearts grew incomparably heavy.

“Bixi Dragon-Tortoise!” someone cried out.

Just as everyone was silent, that startled shout broke the stillness.

A man had appeared beside the Bixi Dragon-Tortoise.

He watched the Bixi Dragon-Tortoise with tense worry. A layer of mist already covered his gentle eyes.

Sect Master Ji Yuan could not stand people sobbing in front of him. He said impatiently: “He is not dead. What are you crying for?”

Bai Ling’s heart ached as he said: “What do you know? It was still in its dormant period when it took such a heavy wound. Who knows how long it will take to heal in the future.”

This was the Azure Dragon bloodline he had waited hundreds of years for.

Because of a moment of carelessness, it had gone missing. Before he even found it again, it had been badly hurt once more. It felt like someone was stabbing a knife into his heart.

Seeing he could not talk him around, Sect Master Ji Yuan did not bother to keep trying. He looked at the others and asked: “What did that person mean by what he just said?”

Sect Master Wu Sang sighed and said: “His words may not be groundless. If things are as he said, the future of the Cultivation World is not very bright.”

They had thought that catching the one who stole the spirit veins would finally let them live in peace for a while. They had not expected to bring a pile of trouble onto themselves instead.

Chong Yang, Sect Head of Heavenly Sword Sect, gripped his sword tightly, his face cold, and said: “What is there to be afraid of? The Cultivation World has stood for millions of years. How could a single sentence from him shake its foundation.”

No one spoke against him, but in their hearts they all knew that the Cultivation World really had reached a dangerous edge. Otherwise, they would never have joined the full power of their sects back then to set up the Ancient Array Formation and open the Ancient Dao Arena.

After the Ancient Dao Arena opened, they really had reestablished contact with a Grand Adept from the Upper Thousand World. Yu Zhao had even been taken in by him as a disciple. But after that, there had been no news at all, and even Fang Cheng Lang and the others had vanished without a trace.

“Just now he mentioned Ye Cong Xin.” Dean Mo Xin’s voice sounded as he said: “With that man’s proud and reckless nature, ordinary people would never catch his eye. There must be something about Ye Cong Xin that matters to him. Maybe we can start from that.”

Sect Master Ji Yuan frowned deeply and said: “But Ye Cong Xin disappeared along with Fang Cheng Lang and the others. How are we supposed to investigate?”

“She is gone, but the people related to her are still here.”

As those words fell, everyone’s gaze turned toward Master Qing Yan.

Master Qing Yan suddenly thought of something. He shot into the sky and sped toward the Five Elements Dao Sect.

Five Elements Dao Sect, Lone Moon Peak.

In a dark room, a lifeless body lay flat on the bed. His chest barely moved. His face was pale with a hint of blue, and his whole body gave off the air of death.

Because the room had been sealed and shut away from light all year round, a strange smell hung in the air.

But the man on the bed did not notice at all, or perhaps he no longer cared, letting damp green moss grow freely in the dark corners.

A gloomy voice suddenly sounded in the room as someone said: “Tsk, tsk. What a pitiful worm.”

The person on the bed still did not move or show any reaction.

It was as if he were wrapped inside a huge cocoon that cut off all sound from the outside world.

The voice spoke again: “I can help you take back your fortune. Do you want to be my dog?”
