The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Bai Wuyuan, who remained near the Blood Abyss, was initially relieved, but the more she looked, the more something seemed amiss.

The candle dragon seemed to be heading towards Qingqiu!

Bai Wu's expression changed, and she was about to rush back to the location of the teleportation array to return to Qingqiu.

Unexpectedly, Bai Ruo's voice suddenly came from beside her: "Lady Bai Wu, there is no need to worry. Zhulong has no ill intentions towards Qingqiu."

The demons who were staring at the direction where Zhulong had left were immediately drawn to the sudden appearance of Bai Ruo and her group.

Bai Wu looked at Bai Ruoli Ji and the others in shock and asked in surprise, "Didn't you go back to Qingqiu? How come you suddenly appeared here?"

"You came from the Blood Abyss?"

"Why was that female cultivator on the head of the candle dragon? Did she subdue it?"

Bai Wu had countless questions in her mind, questions that the surviving great demons were also curious about.

However, they dared not use force against Wen Fuyue and the others now, for fear that the female cultivator riding the Candle Dragon would come back to kill them.

Bai Ruo said, "Let's go back to Qingqiu first."

If Zhulong goes to Qingqiu, it is probably to find the divine tree.

Bai Ruo was worried that with a demon king and a priest both present, the elders left behind in Qingqiu would lose their composure.

While Bai Ruo and the others were rushing to the teleportation array to return to Qingqiu, Zhu Jian traveled thousands of miles in a day and arrived in Qingqiu in the blink of an eye.

When this bone dragon, now just a skeleton, appeared in the sky above Qingqiu.

As Bai Ruo had predicted, Qingqiu was in chaos.

Countless screams echoed across Qingqiu, and the little demons fled in all directions or sought places to hide.

Fortunately, the fox clan had always been very powerful, and the disturbance was quickly quelled by the fox clan guards.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the fox clan elders went to ask the clan's ancestor to intervene.

However, what they didn't expect was that this enormous bone dragon had a very clear purpose: it headed straight for the divine tree.

Now, the fox clan elders launched an attack on Zhulong without regard for their own lives.

Upon seeing this, Yun Yici quickly transmitted her voice using spiritual power: "This is the true form of Zhulong. We have no ill intentions. We have an agreement with the Divine Tree and only wish to say a few words to it."

The fox clan elders exchanged bewildered glances.

Yun Yici's voice carried far, and the cubs who had been sent back to Qingqiu heard it as well.

Hua Yi would never forget the voice of that demon who hit him on the head with the Xuan Turtle, even in death.

They both looked up at the sky and indeed saw Yun Yici standing atop the dragon's head.

Xingyu hesitated for a moment, then said to the fox clan elder guarding them, "I can testify that she was a junior among the human cultivators and participated in the post-ritual ceremony with us."

Hua Yi retorted, "Come on, you helped someone beat me up, and then you ran away without me."

“I’m sworn brothers with them, we’ve been through thick and thin together, we even went to the Blood Abyss together.”

“I even tipped them off.”

The other cubs stared in shock at the bone dragon above them.

The moment the dragon flew over, the sky darkened by three degrees.

They had never seen a creature with such a bizarre, beautiful, and powerful appearance.

"Is this the Candle Dragon?"

"Didn't my dad and the others say they were going to find the Candle Dragon?"

"Why is Zhulong here? Where are the clan chief and the others?"

While the cubs were whispering among themselves, the fox elder who had received Xingyu's permission had already relayed her words to the fox elder in charge of guarding the area.

Zhu Jian and Yun Yici, who was holding a rabbit, hovered in the sky above Qingqiu for a while.

The fox clan of Qingqiu sent a message: "The sacred tree is the root of our clan. Our clan leader and priests are not in the city. We are afraid we cannot grant your request."

"Lord Zhulong, please wait here for our clan chief and priest to return. If you wish to launch a forceful attack, we will not be afraid!"

The foxes swore to live and die with the divine tree, and watched Zhujian and Yunyi with wariness and suspicion.

Fortunately, the stalemate didn't last long, and Bai Ruo and Bai Wu finally returned.

Bai Wu looked at the bone dragon hovering in the sky with a pounding heart, and pulled Bai Ruo to confirm again and again: "Do they really have no ill intentions towards the divine tree?"

The fox clan leaders were all too aware of the divine tree's power. If the Candle Dragon were to become greedy and try to devour the divine tree, then...

Bai Ruo assured her, "Nothing will happen."

With a flick of his sleeve, he dismissed all the fox guards and called out to Zhujian in a loud voice, "Please!"

With Bai Ruo ahead of him, Zhu Jian successfully reached the Nine Heavens Clouds where the Divine Tree was located.

However, she was too large to land, and the divine tree happily shook its leaves when the bone dragon appeared.

Bai Wu arrived a step later and her expression changed drastically when she saw the many bald spots on the sacred tree. She was heartbroken.

"How is this going?"

But the state of the sacred tree also revealed its attitude: it was very happy.

Looking at the lush canopy of the divine tree and how much it had grown since he remembered it, Zhujian smiled and said, "Cultivate into human form soon. I've made plans to play hide-and-seek with Xiaoci."

After saying this, the bone dragon raised its head and let out a long roar before flying back up into the sky.

Yun Yici, who was standing on top of her, could barely keep her balance. She changed from standing to kneeling on top of the candle dragon.

Zhu Jian said in a voice only she could hear, "Thank you, Xiao Ci."

Yun Yici seemed to sense something and looked down at Qingqiu, which had become a miniature city.

She released her grip, and Huai Chuan was unsheathed behind her, allowing her to ride the sword through the air as she watched Zhu Long continue to fly higher into the sky.

She saw the dragon's horns of Zhujian appear and disappear in the clouds. The next moment, the world changed color, and the clear blue sky turned into a blue-purple vortex.

The Candle Dragon let out a deafening roar and flew towards the vortex without looking back.

Yun Yici murmured, "Is she about to ascend to immortality?"

But she was wrong.

As the seemingly indestructible dragon bones approached the vortex, they appeared to be obliterated, dissipating into countless white rays of light that fell to the earth.

Zhu Jian's dragon horns, head, then spine, and tail seemed to have identified this direction and rushed headlong into the center of the vortex without regard for the consequences.

Finally, witnessed by Yun Yici, the entire Candle Dragon transformed into countless glimmers of light that flew to the earth, nourishing the demon realm she had once protected.

Yun Yici stood there, holding the white rabbit, stunned, tears streaming down her face.

But soon, among the countless glimmers of light, a beam of light carrying a soft green hue came toward her.

Yun Yici recognized it as the Candle Dragon's Fire. Since there was no one in the sky, she quickly flew over and caught it.

The green-glowing flame of the Candle Dragon landed in her palm, and within its heart, a small red dragon was swimming merrily.

Yun Yici almost burst into tears. She said, "You scared me to death!"

Zhu Jian: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, but the essence the little tree gave me is only enough for me to grow this big. I may have to start cultivating again."

Yun Yici said, "It's better to start cultivating again than to die."

She held Mu Yunjian in one arm and Zhujian in the fire with the other.

"Let me put you into the painting first. In your current state, if I take you down, I'm afraid it will attract those with wicked intentions to fight over you."
