Qin Mu gave it some thought. The sect master of Li River Sect, Mu Beifeng, was a second-ranking disciple while this elder named Gu Linuan was a first-ranking disciple. He must be even more powerful!
"What this elder said is true," he said to Hu Ling 'er.
Hu Ling 'er was bewildered, "How do you know what he said is true?"
"The fog is spat out by the dragon soul."
Qin Mu pointed at the wandering soul of the mother dragon in the hall. Wherever the dragon soul passed by, the fog would gradually become denser. Wherever the fog passed by, the dried corpses would stand up again as if they could smell Qin Mu's location and automatically float over.
"This kind of fog can cause these corpses to enter a state of neither life nor death. It's a method used to protect her son and also this hall," Qin Mu analyzed.
Hu Ling 'er also saw this point. After the fog spat out by the dragon soul of the mother dragon dissipated, the dried corpses would fall to the ground and stop moving. However, when the fog shrouded them again, the dried corpses would come back to life and try to attack the people who entered this place.
These dried corpses were like the guardians of this hall, guarding this place to prevent people from snatching the dragon bead and interfering with the young dragon's' recovery '.
The source of these dried corpses was probably like what the elder said. It was the dragon bead that sucked all the qi and blood of the practitioners who barged into this dragon palace, using the qi and blood of others to extend the life of the young dragon in the ice.
Qin Mu said with difficulty, "Senior Gu, even though I have the heart to save you, my strength is meager and I'm afraid I'm powerless."
Gu Linuan chuckled, "Of course you don't have enough strength to dissolve the mysterious ice of the dragon bead but I do. As long as you listen to my command, you can save me! As long as I'm free, you can get whatever you want! "
There was arrogance in his words. It was obvious that the position of the junior guardian of the crown prince was extremely high.
"Even though I'm trapped by the mysterious ice, I still have my cultivation. This mysterious ice can't freeze me to death."
Gu Linuan continued, "I'll use the last of my cultivation to move the sword on my waist out of the ice. You hold the sword and slay the soul of the mother dragon! As long as the soul of the mother dragon is slain, the dragon bead won't be able to trap me anymore! When I'm free, I can even give you this dragon pearl! "
Qin Mu was shocked, he cried out involuntarily, "You killed Dragon Mother's soul? Senior, junior has just cultivated to the Spirit Embryo Realm and is only an insignificant martial arts practitioner, so how could I slay the soul of the mother dragon? "
Gu Linuan sneered, "Of course you can't, but after you use my sword, you can! My sword isn't an ordinary sword, and it's not like the low-grade sword you're carrying on your back. This sword is a first-grade sword of the imperial court! The Yankang Imperial Court had gathered all the best craftsmen in the world and used the best treasures to refine it! In the Yankang Kingdom, there were only sixteen first-rank officials, and there were only sixteen such swords, each with its own name! This sword of mine is called Junior Protector Sword! "
Qin Mu hesitated. "How is this sword compared to the Buddhist staff in my hand?"
Gu Linuan sneered, "Old monk's khakkhara staff is not bad, and Great Thunderclap Monastery is also one of the famous sects in the world, but how can a treasure forged by the power of a sect be compared to a treasure forged by the power of a country? In the Yankang Kingdom, there are still two to three famous sects like Great Thunderclap Monastery. "
Qin Mu's heart trembled slightly, but he was also puzzled. "Since senior has such a treasure, why didn't you slay the soul of the mother dragon yourself?"
Gu Linuan was speechless. After a moment, he said, "I didn't think of the crucial point at first. After seeing the dragon pearl, I planned to get rid of this hidden danger for the future generations, but I was careless and fell for it. By the time I realized I couldn't break free from the ice seal, it was already too late! After I was sealed in ice, I could only guard my vital qi to prevent myself from being frozen to death by the mysterious ice. It was already hard for me to control this sword. Do you know how many years I've been sealed here? "
He sighed, "A whole two hundred years! For the past two hundred years, I've been sealed here. It's already not easy for me to extend my life until now! "
Qin Mu sympathized endlessly and said, "Two hundred years of being sealed in ice, if it was me, I would have gone crazy long ago. It's really remarkable for senior to be able to hold on until now."
Gu Linuan sighed, "Luckily you're here. I'll use my remaining vital qi to send this Junior Protector Sword out of the mysterious ice. Help me slay the soul of the mother dragon and save me from my predicament! "
Qin Mu nodded his head and said solemnly, "Junior will definitely do his best!"
Gu Linuan roused his remaining vital qi and saw the sword on his waist actually moving slowly in the ice. However, the speed of the movement was very slow. Over two hours later, the sword hilt of the Junior Protector Sword was barely revealed.
After another period of time, the entire sword hilt was revealed. However, the sword sheath was still sealed in the mysterious ice.
Gu Linuan seemed to be slightly exhausted and said with a hoarse voice, "My vital qi is almost depleted. Young man, quickly slay the mother dragon!"
Qin Mu replied and a vital qi thread as thick as an arm flew out and coiled around the sword hilt. With a clang, Junior Protector Sword was unsheathed and cold light instantly shone in all directions!
Qin Mu and Hu Ling 'er felt pain in their eyes as if their eyes were injured by the sword light. Not long later, their eyes recovered and they could see their surroundings clearly.
"What are you doing?"
Gu Linuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Qin Mu's incomparably thick vital qi thread coiling around Junior Protector Sword to chase after the soul of the mother dragon but to no avail, "What are you doing? Is there anyone who uses qi to control sword like you? Who taught you sword control? Who taught you sword skills? "
Qin Mu stopped and blushed, "I don't know sword control and I've never learned sword skills before."
Gu Linuan almost died from anger and his head started to scold him angrily, "If you don't know sword control and don't know sword skills, why are you carrying a sword pouch?"
Qin Mu said in shame, "This sword pouch is very heavy so I'm carrying it on my back as a kind of cultivation …"
Gu Linuan almost vomited blood. This kind of clumsy sword skill made him want to jump out of the mysterious ice.
