Devour

The power of the Phoenix covers the entire city, and every move in the streets and alleys can be detected clearly.

Cheng Bai noticed that the Taoist in yellow clothes who came out of the sewer was striding towards the place where the two auras were lurking. He couldn't help but become suspicious, so he quietly hid himself and followed him secretly.

The Taoist in yellow was familiar with the route. He crossed more than ten streets and turned into a narrow and old alley. He saw vines climbing the walls and mottled bricks and tiles. On the archway standing at the entrance of the alley was engraved the huge characters "Huang Xiang".

There are no more than ten families living in the alley, all with the surname Huang. It is said that they have a great history. There is a memorial archway at the entrance of the alley for the family, representing power and glory.

The Taoist in yellow walked into the largest house at the end of the alley, as if he was stepping into his own courtyard.

Passing by the courtyard, several patrolling boys bowed and saluted, saying, "We kowtow to the headmaster, the ancestor of the heavenly master, and wish you the best of luck and good health."

The Taoist in yellow turned a blind eye and went straight into the hall.

The house has majestic beams and upright pillars, and the furnishings are simple and elegant agarwood furniture. Exquisite glass lamps illuminate every corner, and the huge scroll hanging high on the front wall is a picture of the imperial spirit of mountains and rivers.

The Bone Emperor was sitting in the hall. Seeing the Taoist in yellow robes coming, he said leisurely, "Huang Yunzi, your Lieyan Sect is indeed a famous sect. You have the best of both worlds."

The Taoist in yellow is the current Saint Master of Lieyan Sect, Huang Yunzi. He said politely, "Mr. Gu, you are too kind. Can you keep your transformed appearance? Although there are no outsiders here, it is not good for disciples to see us."

The Bone King wiped his face, and the stiff painted skin and skeletal body changed, transforming into a pale-faced scholar, gentle and refined, with a grin that looked quite romantic and suave. He corrected casually, "I master a secret technique called 'Transformation', which is much more advanced than the Shapeshifting Technique."

Huang Yunzi looked at it and said nothing. He poured the batches of fire-repelling stones, water-repelling stones, flying shadow stones, and Zhenwu rocks from the Xumi mustard seeds into the center of the hall and said carefully, "I have collected another batch of spirit stones this time. Can I rebuild Burning Cloud Peak?"

The huge face of Shan Liu peeked out from the Mountain and River Spirit Map on the wall, and he said in a deep voice: "Our agreement is that only after we repair the Mountain and River Spirit Map can we help Lieyan Sect reshape the main peak of the sect and restore its original appearance. Plan for the long term, don't be impatient, it's not that you haven't gained anything, didn't I find the Qinggang copper mother vein for you?"

Huang Yunzi said: "Thank you for your help, Senior. I wonder if the spirit stones you have obtained in the past few days are enough?"

Shan Liu waved his hand, and the spiritual stones all over the ground flew up and were all collected into the Mountain and River Spiritual Control Map. He then said, "The spiritual stones are almost ready, and we still need a small piece of the True Saint's skin."

Huang Yunzi said: "I have found out from my investigation that the Yao family palace in Yinsheng City has been offering a piece of Kui Niu skin for generations. It is said that it was left by a fairy beast at the great sage level in the middle period of ancient times."

Some monks find it difficult to distinguish the difference between the ranks of Great Saint and True Saint because the two are somewhat similar in some senses.

Those who successfully pass the tribulation are called great saints, who obtain the energy of the sun, the moon, and the harmony to forge a divine body, and are the culmination of saints. After passing the tribulation, one can truly enter the realm of the virtual world and become a true saint.

How could Shan Liu not know? He snorted and said, "The Great Sage is not as good as the True Sage after all. The skin of the Kui Niu can barely be used."

Huang Yunzi smiled and said, "I really don't know where to find a true saint-level fairy beast. The skin of the Kui Niu hidden by the Yao family is the best known one. The key is to be more sure of getting it."

Shan Liu said, "You haven't got it yet, it's too early to say anything." He suddenly turned his eyes and stared outside the door, shouting, "Who's hiding there?"

Cheng Bai, who was hiding outside the door and spying, was secretly shocked, knowing that Shan Liu's Wanjie Zhenmo Dafa was so powerful that he could determine the direction without seeing it.

He was about to teleport away when he suddenly heard a sweet laugh like a silver bell coming from beside him. It turned out that there was someone hiding outside the door just like him, or even right next to him, but he couldn't find anyone.

Cheng Bai was secretly shocked and alert in his heart: "There are many talented people in the world, and there may be people with the same abilities as you. Don't be careless."

The woman's voice was sweet yet firm, like dewdrops at dawn, soft and fresh, and she said with a giggle, "Stealing the royal treasures, what a great idea. I want to join in, and everyone who sees will get a share, otherwise the whole world will know your plot."

Huang Yunzi's face changed slightly, but he returned to normal in an instant. He bowed and persuaded: "Fellow Daoist, please show yourself. Since we are like-minded people, why don't you sit down and talk in detail and form an alliance."

The invisible woman questioned, "What if the three of you team up to attack me once I come out? Wouldn't that be a big loss?"

Bone King snorted coldly and said, "It's not up to you."

His listening skills were exquisite, and he could determine the opponent's exact location from the sound. No matter whether the opponent was visible or not, he could easily kill him. He immediately flicked his fingers and shot out seven bone swords towards the door. The sword light was as fast as lightning, surrounding the front and back, leaving the opponent with no way out.

The invisible woman screamed: "Murder! It's life-threatening! Run!"

But then seven bone swords flew to the vicinity and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The Bone Emperor was horrified. The bone sword was made from his own joints. They were connected in mind and could empathize with each other even though they were far away. At that moment, they actually lost contact with each other, as if they had flown into the endless void, floating in the air, helpless.

Shan Liu saw it clearly and laughed, "This is not ordinary invisibility, it is actually a mysterious space technique. Her cultivation is higher than yours."

The Bone Emperor tried to find out the clues and said doubtfully: "You are neither human nor human. My bone sword vaguely senses a demonic aura. With this strength, you are above the Nirvana realm."

Huang Yunzi was secretly shocked when he heard this. He was sure that the person who could be evaluated like this by two old monsters was no ordinary person. Strength was respected among cultivators, and they should not offend each other. He hurriedly said, "I dare not speak without purpose when I say alliance. I will follow your lead."

The invisible woman said, "It's settled. Tomorrow at the beginning of the evening, we'll meet at the west gate of the Snow Fox Palace. The five of us will go in and steal some, and we'll split the treasures equally."

In the blink of an eye, the seven bone swords reappeared, and with a few "chi chi" sounds, they were all stuck into the ground in the hall, indicating that they were returned to their original owners.

Huang Yunzi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and asked in surprise: "I am Mr. Gu, Mr. Shan, and Senior Invisible, there are four of us in total. Where is the fifth one?"

"The fifth one she mentioned is me. I've been discovered. When should I leave?" Cheng Bai quietly retreated before the bone sword was shot out. His pace gradually quickened, moving away from Huang Xiang. The Phoenix Power still sensed everything that happened inside and outside the hall.

So far, there are very few people who can see through the invisibility after disappearance. He must be a powerful character, and we cannot stay here for long.

A hundred miles away from Yinsheng City, there is a towering mountain in the northeast and northwest. The northeast one is called Ninghua Mountain, which is beautiful and has a beautiful scenery. The northwest one is called Daimu Mountain, which is steep and has an altitude of more than 7,000 meters.

Cheng Bai arrived at the top of Mount Daimu, took out the Zhenwu stone bed, sat on it, and looked at the Ladder of All Things in the north of Yinsheng City. The huge building was not lower than the top of the mountain where he was. It was hard to believe that it was a man-made building.

"That ladder of all things was also made of purple carbon and has stood here for who knows how many years. The creator is so capable, why didn't he use the better golden crystal carbon?"

As Cheng Bai spoke, he took out a diamond and held it up to the moonlight. The cut surface of the gemstone reflected a dazzling brilliance, shining like bright stars.

Li Tong said, "The grades of the Ladder of All Things are also different. The ones above the 90th level are made of golden crystal carbon, which has entered the category of immortal tools. A few of the best ones also use wood carbon."

The art of refining equipment is profound and extensive. Cheng Bai couldn't help but ask Li Tong: "Is there any technology to catalyze diamond into chain blocks?"

Li Tong complained, "Of course we have it. We have everything from stone carbon to wood carbon. Otherwise, how can we refine the Yellow Turban Warrior? But for so long, the Gawain Athens you promised us has never been found. I can't even count how many diagrams I have advanced and how many times I have given guidance and approval."

Cheng Bai said lazily: "It has to be possible to meet him." After thinking for a moment, he took out the green jade slip engraved with the Broken Jade Sword Technique.

The profound meaning of swordsmanship has been completely absorbed into the Melting Gold and Breaking Jade Hands. The jade slip is no longer useful. In the past, he was reluctant to give it up because he was thinking about the master-disciple relationship given to him by Fang Wanzhan. Now, hiding it seems like he owes Li Tong something.

Li Tong was delighted to see the prey and asked, "Are you willing to let me eat the Broken Jade Sword Technique?"

Cheng Bai said: "Thanks to your help along the way, you deserve this reward. We can talk about it when you find other secret books in the future."

Li Tong swallowed the green jade slip and suggested, "Let's go to Taowu Academy. There are many readers there, so there must be good books there."

"The Taowu Academy is far away in Ximangtuozhou..." Cheng Bai thought of what he had learned today and asked, "You know the place names of the five continents. Do you know where Night Valley is?"
