The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

"It's very difficult to snatch food from the mouth of a Thousand Apertures Immortal right under his nose! No wonder Shi Kongyu retreated so easily a few days ago. It turns out that he had already made a backup plan. In order to prevent any changes in the Jilin Kongjing, he would rather support a city lord with a history of betrayal."

Shi Kongjie's face also looked unhappy. This city lord was once just one of his servants, but now he was referred to as "He" by the elder of the Yongling tribe in front of him. He had become a mountain looming over the head of his former master. It was difficult for outsiders to empathize with him, and he was already very well-mannered enough not to show any resentment!

At this time, the elder Yonggu below had already guessed Shi Kongjie's identity. A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. He leaned over and bowed respectfully to Shi Kongjie, and asked tentatively:

"May I ask if you are the Lord of the Jilin Sky Realm and the Lord of Xiaoyao City tens of millions of years ago? The inheritance of our clan has never been interrupted. I still remember the days when we were under the rule of Xiaoyao City. Life at that time was much more comfortable than it is now. There is a statue of you on the cover of the "Yuhuadengzhen Gong" that has been passed down from generation to generation in our clan. No wonder I felt familiar with you before!"

Xuyang and Meiyao looked at each other with surprise. They didn't expect that there was such a connection between the Yongling tribe and Shi Kongjie.

But after thinking about it, Xuyang felt that it was right. After all, Shi Kongjie also bypassed the rules and advanced to the late Daluo stage here. It was impossible that he did not leave any traces.
"I didn't expect that you, a mere elder of a small clan, would have such insight and know a lot about ancient things. That's right! It's indeed me. I'm back again. But let's not talk about the Lord of Xiaoyao City. Tens of millions of years ago, I took refuge in the Jilin Void Realm to search for resources for advancement. I only sheltered dozens of small clans, which together only occupied less than half of the population territory in the Void Realm. How can I be called the Lord of Jilin Void Realm!
Besides, I was so focused on returning to the outside world that I didn't manage the territory I was in charge of. The "Yuhuadengzhen Gong" was just ordinary, and it could only open up 84 acupoints. It was just an ordinary technique. Now I have voluntarily joined the Netherworld Taoist Master, and there is no Xiaoyao City Master anymore. Although there is a big gap between you and me in cultivation, we are both followers of the Taoist Master, and there is no essential difference in our identities."

Shi Kongjie let out a long sigh, his expression full of loneliness and self-mockery, but this time he didn't have the script of the king's return. Seeing that Xuyang's eyes began to become a little strange, he hurriedly distanced himself from him to prevent Xuyang from thinking that he was trying to buy people's hearts and minds and bring together his old subordinates.

If Elder Yonggu knew what Shi Kongjie was thinking, he would only tell him that he was overthinking. He was only trying to verify Shi Kongjie's identity to confirm certain things. At this time, Elder Yonggu turned to Xuyang and Meiyao, bowed, and said carefully:
“The two Dao Lords do not need to worry about how to deal with the Lord of Xuanyang City. As far as I know, after the Lord of Xiaoyao City disappeared, although the entire Xiaoyao City was destroyed and turned into ruins, and even the many Sky Scale Divine Crystals buried under the city were dug up three feet into the ground, now it has become a deserted place with few people, but the forces under the Lord of Xiaoyao City have not been completely destroyed!
There are also a small number of people who have hidden in the Broken Boundary Scale Realm and built a puppet city. Although they can only hide in the Broken Boundary Scale Realm with the help of several ancient heavenly puppets and have been unable to attack the outside world for several times, they can still barely protect themselves. In secret, there are also a small number of insignificant tribes living in remote areas who are serving this city. Perhaps they can be used by the Taoist master!"

"What!? Puppet City!?"

Shi Kongjie was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had received such good news from Elder Yonggu. He had never expected that after millions of years, there were still loyal subordinates who were still resisting him. He quickly asked, "Do you know the name of the mayor of this puppet city?"

"This city does not have a city lord. It is said that a saint named Sha is the city lord. This is a token sent secretly by this city. This city promises that if you encounter a disaster of extermination of your clan, you can take this token and a batch of cultivation resources to go to the Broken World Scale Realm for help."

Elder Yonggu replied immediately, and at the same time fumbled around his waist and abdomen, and took out a white animal bone tablet, but did not hand it to Shi Kongjie. Instead, he held it in front of Meiyao with both hands, causing Shi Kongjie's half-extended arm to stop in mid-air, and he touched his nose awkwardly.

Shi Kongjie could only pretend nothing had happened and forced a smile. However, he was very happy to hear that some of his old subordinates were still alive. He explained to Xuyang:
"It should be Sha Xin. She was once one of my concubines. She grew up with me from humble beginnings. She followed me through two ups and downs and never betrayed me. She risked her life countless times to sneak into this place from the outside world and provide me with Dao Dan resources. She is trustworthy."

Mei Yao took the animal bone certificate with one hand and handed it to Xuyang without even looking at it. Xuyang nodded and took it. He lowered his head to examine it and found that it was made from a piece of extremely high-quality animal bone fragment. Under the rules of the Jilin Void Realm, the power in it had long since dissipated completely, but it still exuded a barely detectable faint pressure. The level of this pressure was somewhat similar to that of the Taoist Xuanwu, but it seemed to be a level higher.

Xuyang subconsciously used his eyes to investigate, and actually saw a phantom in the depths of the bone fragment. It was a huge beetle swimming in the ocean of dark energy!

It has countless centipede-like legs under its belly, and it has no head or eyes. It rolls and plays wantonly in the ocean of dark energy. Countless extremely deep and dark patterns emerge from the ocean all the time, surrounding its body, as gentle as the breeze under the wings of the Nine-Sky Mysterious Bird.

At first glance, it was the style of a Taoist ancestor. This was actually the skeleton of a Taoist ancestor who had fallen for countless years! And it was definitely a Taoist ancestor of the True Spirit Clan of the insect lineage. The insect True Spirits of the Hundred-Headed Insect in the lower world were much weaker than the behemoth in the illusion!
He roughly counted and found that the number of insect legs under this person's belly was no less than 100 million!
This was the first time that Xuyang obtained a relic of the Daozu level, and he actually got it from a mere low-level Xuanxian!

Xuyang's eyes flashed, and he put away his eyes that could see through illusions. He felt a little surprised and a little sad in his heart, thinking that the skeleton of an ancient and powerful warrior of the insect lineage had been humiliated in this way and broken into countless pieces to be made into a token!
From this, we can guess how the bodies of the three deceased ancestors of the dragon family will be treated!

However, in addition to this faint pressure, there was also a barely detectable fragrance on this piece of bone, with an indescribable charm. Although it was very inconspicuous, it could not be hidden from the detection of Xuyang Chaos Mother Energy.

Xuyang weighed the bone piece gently, activated the Great Evolution Technique, and calmed the grief in his heart. He looked at Shi Kongjie and asked, "How much do you know about the Broken Boundary Scale Realm? I sensed that the owner of this bone piece was very good at the Yin and Ming Laws. It should be helpful to Meiyao, right?"

"The law of the underworld?"

Shi Kongjie's expression changed, and after a moment's silence, he said in all seriousness, "Master Jiuyan, please don't misunderstand me. I didn't hide this place on purpose. I had intended to enter this Broken Realm to look for opportunities! But I tried dozens of times and failed. Later, I was lucky enough to enter the secret realm where Taoist Ancestor Shou Meng passed away. I lost interest in it. I really don't know what kind of power of law is contained in it.

But speaking of the Yin and Ming Laws, it reminds me of a follower of the Tao Ancestor in ancient times. His original body was called Wan Xie Tian Lin Chong! He was the Tao Ancestor who combined the Yin and Ming Laws in ancient times. At that time, the Luohou Ancestor was a giant in the fairy world, and there were nearly ten Tao Ancestor-level powerful people attached to him. Most of the names of the ancient Tao Ancestors and the locations of their sitting places have disappeared in the long river of time. Even the secret library of the Yeyang Clan’s royal city does not have many records!
Otherwise, why would my Yeyang clan guard the treasure mountain without entering? You are right, right? It was only after I entered the secret realm of Shou Meng Daozu by chance that I truly knew the title of Shou Meng Daozu and some fragmentary information from ancient times.

When I fled from this place, I was in a hurry. I only knew that the Broken Scale Realm was a realm within a realm independent of the Accumulated Scale Realm. It is said that this Taoist Ancestor was the most trusted subordinate of the Luohou Ancestor back then. No! It is most appropriate to say that he was a partner! It should be similar to the relationship between you and Meiyao! The trust of the Ancestor in this Taoist Ancestor can be seen from the fact that He allowed the latter to merge with one of the three laws controlled by himself!
It is said that this Wanqi Tianlin insect, like Qulin Daozu, is also the ancestor of the insect lineage, and is most likely the first generation ancestor. The gold-eating insect only rose after his death. Insects with feet are called insects, and those without feet are called zhi. He is the ancestor of the zhi lineage! No information has been passed down about what laws he cultivated!

As for how this girl Sha Xin entered the Broken Scale Realm, I have no idea. This must have happened after I left!"

Seeing that Shi Kongjie was afraid that he would be suspicious and was eager to distance himself from him, Xuyang felt helpless. He wondered if he had hit him too hard, causing Shi Kongjie to be a little paranoid!

Xu Yang looked at him for a while, and then said directly: "If you have confidence in Sha Xin's loyalty, you will be responsible for persuading Sha Xin to give up the Broken Scale Realm for Mei Yao to devour, in order to gain greater control over the rules of this place. If you can do it, I will immediately return to you the arm that sealed a hundred mysterious orifices! And I can guarantee that I will help you deal with the rebellious city lord! He will definitely not live before the Bodhi Fairy Feast is held!"

"Are you serious, Taoist Jiuyan? You'll return them to me before you go looking for that mysterious man? To be honest, my recovery is still a little insufficient. In such a rush, I'm less than half sure of getting the three corpses back! As for that rebel Er, there's no rush. If I can get the three corpses back, and with the help of the two Taoist masters, I can suppress him in a snap! Although Qianqiao is powerful, its unsystematic skills have too many weaknesses and flaws!" Shi Kongjie's eyes gleamed.

Xu Yang was somewhat speechless. He pretended to be angry, and kept glancing at his purple-armored puppet body. He said lightly, "Do I have no credibility in your eyes? If it weren't for me, how could you have obtained this puppet?"

"Haha! Don't blame me, Taoist Jiuyan. I've been afraid of being plotted against by others along the way, so I've been too cautious. Let me take a look at this bone fragment. I'll try to communicate with this girl Sha Xin." Shi Kongjie laughed dryly, got the promise, and went down the slope.

After Shi Kongjie got the bone fragment, just as Xuyang guessed, he immediately sensed the seductive aura attached to it. A strange look flashed across his face. After being stunned for a long time, he showed a rare emotion of nostalgia and said with a sigh and self-mockery:
"I didn't expect that after I was deserted by my friends and relatives, the one who stayed with me all the time was actually a concubine whom I didn't think much of at the beginning! She spread the bone pieces widely, probably not to win the hearts of people from all races. This aura is the aura of a fourth-grade immortal weapon that I secretly gave her, called the Seven Emotions Bewitching Heart Pendant! Outsiders are not aware of the existence of this immortal weapon, but if I come into contact with these bone pieces under the guise of tokens, I will definitely know immediately that she is showing me the way so that I will not be isolated and helpless after entering this place."

"Sure enough, I guessed that he wanted to come back here again, so it is impossible for him not to leave some arrangements! After all, he has been close to the Taoist twice!" Xuyang's heart moved, and he watched silently.

Shi Kongjie did not keep the secret. He sighed a little, and a Dharma image rose from his body. Compared with before, after accepting and refining this Daluo-level puppet, the appearance of Shi Kongjie's residual soul had changed greatly. He was no longer the weak-on-the-inside-out look before. His Dharma image was extremely condensed, and was rippling with countless black crystal lights.

Although it could not display its majestic and boundless appearance due to the suppression of the rules here, the enormous pressure immediately made the Yongling people below roll their eyes and faint.

Xuyang guessed that he did it on purpose, and it was also a small revenge for Elder Yonggu's previous mistreatment of him.

Mei Yao puffed her lips and waved her hand, taking them into the space inside her body. In the dark space that could be described as vast and even "boundless", she found a place with strong yin energy as the residence of the Yongling clan.

At this time, Shi Kongjie's soul had three heads and twelve arms, and was extremely similar to the Mahakala Demon Ancestor that Xuyang had met twice. He then placed the bone piece on his forehead, closed his eyes, and began to chant an unknown spell.

A quarter of an hour later, Shi Kongjie opened his eyes, looked around for a while, and suddenly locked onto a certain direction, and said:
"Alright! I have used mystical techniques to get in touch with this girl named Sha Xin. She has already set out from the Broken Scale Realm and is heading here! But just in case, Taoist Jiu Yan, please prepare my arm first! If something changes, just do it the same way you did with my good brother! Cooperate with me again! People's hearts are treacherous. Even after millions of years, I can't guarantee 100% that this girl hasn't changed her mind!"

"Hehe! Seeing how affectionate you were just now, I thought you were absolutely sure!" Xuyang sneered.

Shi Kongjie's expression had returned to calm, and he whispered back, "I also hope that she hasn't changed her mind. That would be best! Let's hope so!"

After a day and night cycle in the fairy world, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred thousands of miles away from the high plateau, and a touch of watery moonlight fell. (End of this chapter)
