Chapter 7 Digging Bones
After leaving the testing site, Shi Chen went straight to Yu Rou's residence. Along the way, he met many disciples of the King Wu's Mansion, and they all mistook him for Shi Yi.

The clan elders did not publicize the fact that Shi Chen had awakened his double pupils. Only a group of high-level people knew about it. This was also a form of protection for Shi Chen.

No matter how talented one is, if he doesn't grow up, he will be just an ant. If he attracts some strong people to spy on him and want to kill him, even though he is protected by the King Wu's Palace, it is difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark.

Shi Chen did not explain anything to them. They would know when the time came.

Shi Chen arrived at Yu Rou's mansion, but did not see his mother. He called a maid to ask.

"Master Bingyi, didn't Madam and you take Master Xiaohao out?" The maid was a little confused.

"It seems I'm late." Shi Chen's eyes narrowed, knowing that Yu Rou had probably taken Shi Yi and Shi Hao to dig bones.

Shi Chen did not know the exact place where the bones were dug. The original book only said that it was in an underground palace in a manor, but the specific location was not clearly stated.

If he remembered correctly, Shi Ziling handed Shi Hao over to the care of two elders of the clan. In the original novel, it was these two elders who witnessed Yu Rou committing the crime.

Shi Chen quickly walked towards the gate of Prince Wu's Mansion, hoping to catch up.

He did not want the bone digging to happen. The Supreme Bone was the reason for his success or failure. This bone was actually a constraint for Shi Yi.

Not only did Supreme Bone die once, but he also owed a huge karma, which caused him to die again in the final battle to protect Shi Hao, thus repaying this karma.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he did not want to go against Shi Hao.

He arrived at the gate of Prince Wu's Mansion, jumped up, and stepped onto a roof. His double pupils flashed with divine light, and chains of order emerged in his eyes. His perception ability reached its limit.

"coming."

Soon, two powerful auras appeared within the perception range, and Shi Chen's eyes narrowed.

"Two elders, wait a minute."

Divine light surged in Shi Chen's blood, and a resounding voice came from his mouth.

The two people who were flying quickly in the air stopped, looked at Shi Chen, and their bodies shook.

"Double pupils! It's Yier!" someone said in surprise.

"No, it's not Yier, it's Chener." Another person retorted.

"You go ahead and ensure Hao'er's safety. I'll go check it out."

"it is good."

During the conversation, an elder of the tribe came up to Shi Chen and asked.

"Chen'er, what's the matter?" The old man looked at Shi Chen and asked.

"The fourth master is going to look for mother, so please bring Shi Chen with you. My double pupils can increase the speed of the elders." Shi Chen explained.

"Okay." The old man didn't delay any longer, took Shi Chen with him and headed towards the destination quickly.

Shi Chen used the power of his double pupils on the old man.

Suddenly, the old man felt that his own energy consumption had decreased, and his speed was actually a little faster than before.

"Double pupils are truly incredible." The old man couldn't help but sigh and quickened his pace.

Soon, they caught up with the elder who had left first.

Watching the two men moving further and further away from him, the elder was surprised and thought to himself, "Is this old guy on drugs today? How can he be so fast?"

With the help of Shi Chen Chongtong, the two of them quickly arrived above a manor.

"This is the place where the bones are dug." Shi Chen thought to himself as he looked at the manor below.

The old man brought Shi Chen and landed at a stone gate deep in the manor.

The stone door was closed tightly. Shi Chen used his double pupils to look at the stone door and found that there were several runes running on the stone door.

"Chen'er, step back." The old man reminded Shi Chen.

Shi Chen followed his instructions and retreated several feet away.

"Hmph!" The old man snorted coldly, his eyes flashing with golden light, his whole body full of energy and blood like a phoenix, and a magical firebird appeared behind him. The firebird flapped its wings, stirring up a strong wind.

"Wow!"

The firebird screamed and charged towards the stone gate. The runes on the stone gate circulated, transforming into a black-gold bell that enveloped the firebird. “Boom!”

The firebird kept hitting the giant bell, and each collision made a loud noise. After a few breaths of stalemate, the firebird finally ran out of energy and dissipated between heaven and earth.

The giant bell also developed several cracks under the impact of the firebird, and seemed to be about to shatter.

Shi Chen, who was standing far away, watched the magic technique performed by the old man. The runes of the great Dao surged in his pupils as he continued to analyze the mystery.

Seeing that his attack failed, the old man frowned, the golden light in his eyes became even brighter, his blood and energy surged like a rainbow, and he used the Fire Bird Technique again.

This firebird was a bit bigger than the previous one, full of spirit, and the flames all over its body were as red as blood. Shi Chen, who was several feet away, felt a burst of heat coming towards him, and as its wings vibrated, a sea of ​​fire filled the sky.

The firebird flapped its wings and flew straight towards the bell. As soon as it made contact, the bell could not withstand the impact and cracks appeared all over it and shattered.

The bell was shattered, but the firebird's power remained undiminished as it crashed into the stone gate. With a loud bang, the stone gate exploded and gravel flew everywhere.

Seeing the stone gate destroyed, the old man quickly entered it. Seeing this, Shi Chen followed him in.

"Bitch! What are you doing!?"

As soon as he entered, Shi Chen heard a roar in his ears. He saw an old man holding a child in his arms. There was a blood-red mark on his chest, which was slowly recovering under the old man's treatment.

The old man's face was flushed red at this moment, veins bulged on his forehead, his eyes were wide open, and raging anger burned in his cloudy eyeballs.

Shi Chen looked closely and saw two people standing not far away. They were Yu Rou and Shi Yi. A man in black was lying on the ground, lifeless, with a blood-stained dagger next to him.

Shi Chen saw that Shi Yi was unharmed and knew that the bone digging had not yet begun. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt lucky to have arrived in time.

Seeing the furious old man, Yu Rou's face turned pale. She knew that the matter had been exposed and she would definitely be punished by King Wu. She was afraid that she would lose her life.

"This is all my idea. It has nothing to do with Yier." Yu Rou protected Shi Yi behind her and knelt on the ground. There was no trace of blood on her pale face, and her eyes were full of fear and despair.

She knew that no matter how much she explained, it would be useless now. She could only take all the responsibility on herself and hope not to implicate Yier.

Shi Yi on the side remained silent, his eyes flashing with an inexplicable color.

"Hmph! Go explain that to Ziling and his wife yourself." The old man's lips trembled with anger. He slapped Yu Rou away with one palm, sending her slamming heavily against the stone wall, spitting blood. "How could my Wuwang Mansion produce such a vicious woman like you!"

"mother!"

Shi Chen and Shi Yi exclaimed at the same time and quickly came to Yu Rou.

Shi Chen helped Yu Rou up and checked her. He found that she only had some minor skin injuries, so he felt relieved.

It seems that the elders did not kill them for the sake of the two of them. Otherwise, with Yu Rou's strength, this palm strike would not have been enough to cause only superficial injuries.

"Chen'er, your eyes..." Yu Rou then discovered that Shi Chen had the same double pupils as Shi Yi. A hint of shock and confusion appeared on his pale face.

Shi Yi on the side also looked at Shi Chen, and for the first time a hint of surprise appeared in his deep eyes.

"Mom, I awakened my double pupils during my practice." Shi Chen told Yu Rou the truth.

"Okay, okay, Chen'er, mother is really happy for you. My Chen'er is not only born supreme, but also has double pupils." Yu Rou's pale face actually turned a little rosy. She laughed out loud, and there was some relief in her voice.

"The Supreme Bone I personally planned was not completed, but I was able to see Chen'er's double pupils. Even if I die, I will have no regrets."

"Mom, you won't die!" Shi Chen looked determined. After all, she was his closest relative in this life. He would not watch Yu Rou being shot to death by Shi Ziling like in the original book.

"Brother, take good care of mother."

Shi Chen handed Yu Rou to Shi Yi, stood up, and looked at the old man. The bone excavation was unsuccessful, but there was still room for recovery.

"Fourth Master, can you please let my mother go?"

"Chen'er, you..." After hearing Shi Chen's words, the old man didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Originally, the Wu Palace would never tolerate Yu Rou's behavior, but Yu Rou is the mother of Shi Chen and the other two. If they really cruelly kill Yu Rou, it is possible that the two geniuses of the Wu Palace will resent her, and this price is unacceptable to the Wu Palace.

Shi Ziling entrusted Shi Hao to him, but now it almost led to tragedy. If he let Yu Rou go, he would have no face to face Shi Ziling and his wife.

What's more, if Yu Rou does not give an explanation to everyone for her behavior, it may be difficult to convince them, and it may even cause disunity among the people in Prince Wu's Mansion.

Seeing that Yu Rou's breathing had stabilized after swallowing the pill, Shi Yi came to Shi Chen and spoke in a resolute tone.

"This incident was caused by me. I am willing to exchange my life for my mother's."
