Su Yin narrowed his eyes. "Does that mean that he gave it to me on purpose so that he could find out where I am?"
"That's right." Li Chong 'er nodded. "Do you need me to tell you the solution?"
"There's no need for that for now … Perhaps this isn't a disaster for me, but an opportunity instead …" After a moment of contemplation, Su Yin wasn't worried at all. Instead, he smiled.
The reason he had helped the Dragon Emperor and the others was to find an opportunity to escape with the saint corpses so that he could become a Celestial Saint!
However, if that were to happen, the Phoenix Monarch would be in trouble.
Given the Phoenix Monarch's strength and the might of the Phoenix Domain, she might not even care about it. However, he had already received such a huge favor from the other party.
He had been unable to come up with a solution all this while, but now that he knew that Xue Qianqiu had left a backup plan in the Cloud Piercing Shuttle, a plan began to form in his mind.
…
Outside the Dragon Domain.
Xue Qianqiu and Sage Flowing Cloud were hiding in a secluded area, quietly observing the exit.
There was a ripple of spiritual energy in the air, and several figures appeared not too far away.
They were the Dragon Emperor, the Phoenix Monarch, and Sage Sang Yu!
"This is everything that I know. Take a copy each. We'll split up and communicate with one another."
Sage Sang Yu flicked his wrist and passed two jade tokens to the Dragon Emperor and Phoenix Monarch.
The Yellow Springs Sage's information network covered the entire Celestial World. Since Xue Qianqiu was able to gather a lot of information, it went without saying that he would be able to gather a lot of information as well.
The few of them nodded in unison before vanishing from the spot.
"What's going on?"
Sage Flowing Cloud and Xue Qianqiu glanced at one another in confusion.
Why did the few of them appear instead of that lad? Furthermore, they seemed to be having a good chat with one another.
"It seems like they went to look for the scattered saint corpses …" Xue Qianqiu speculated.
"They probably think that the three saint corpses aren't enough to attract the attention of the thirty-six Ancient Sages!"
Sage Flowing Cloud widened his eyes in realization. "What should we do now?"
"It wasn't easy for us to obtain the saint corpses of the Chess Saint and Calligraphy Saint, but they were taken away by that lad. The Casanova and the Painter Saint didn't manage to obtain them either. We don't even have a single one of their corpses with us … We should hurry up and look! That's the only way to compete with them. Otherwise, if they attract the thirty-six Ancient Sages, our master will be the other party!
Xue Qianqiu.
Even though he wanted to wait here for the lad to come out so that he could exact vengeance on him, the three experts had already set off. If he didn't hurry up, he wouldn't make it in time.
"Then … what about this kid?"
"He must have been locked up in the Dragon's Field by the Dragon Emperor and is unable to leave. Let's find the saint's corpse first. As long as the Cloud Piercing Shuttle is still here, there's no need to worry about him escaping!"
Xue Qianqiu said.
After finishing their discussion, the two of them also disappeared in a flash.
Thirty-six Ancient Sages had been killed, and their flesh and Saint Spiritual Aura had been stripped clean by the Sages. Over the past ten thousand years, there had been all kinds of fights over them. While some of the people who had obtained the Saint Spiritual Aura immediately changed their appearance and went into hiding, there were still more than half of them who had managed to uncover their identities.
Just like Medicine Sage, Art Sage, Needle Sage …
…
In the Immortal World, in a huge city hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the Dragon Field, there was a huge restaurant in the center of the city.
Every time it was mealtime, it would be very lively here. People would have to queue for a long time before they could taste the delicacies they wanted to eat.
Even the owner of the restaurant couldn't squeeze out enough space to treat his friends to a meal.
"Brother Yuan, you're here …"
In the main hall, two powerful cultivators were chatting with one another.
Brother Yuan smiled bitterly. "Indeed. In order to have a meal with Sun Mo, I had to queue for half a month, and I only managed to get my number plate today …"
"I know, right? I've been queuing for half a month as well. It's said that the queue for the private rooms is even longer. Even Chen Xiong from the Yiyang Sect has been queuing for three months now, but he still hasn't gotten his number plate yet …"
The cultivator opposite him sighed.
"It's his fault for insisting on booking a private room. Hahaha, I have to say that even if I were to queue for half a year, it would still be worth it to have a meal with Chef Sun! "
Brother Yuan chuckled gleefully.
"Of course! I had a meal two years ago, and I couldn't forget the taste for half a year …" The eyes of the cultivator opposite him glowed in excitement. Speaking of delicacies, his saliva seemed to be dripping from his mouth.
"Just you wait. As long as it's cooked by Chef Sun, it's bound to be delicious …"
While Brother Yuan was deep in thought, he suddenly heard a deafening explosion. Following which, the depths of the room abruptly exploded.
Following which, he bellowed furiously, "Return that thing to me!"
Hu!
A figure dressed in a chef's robe was sent flying. Hovering in midair, he gritted his teeth furiously, but there was nothing he could do.
"What happened?"
"I heard that … the reason why Chef Sun's culinary skills are so formidable is because he obtained the saint remains of Chef Sage Yi Ya. Now that someone noticed it, the saint remains were snatched away …"
"Yi Ya?"
"It's no wonder … his cooking is so delicious!"
Everyone burst into an uproar.
Chef Sage Yi Ya had died more than ten thousand years ago. Who would have thought that his saint remains would be in the hands of Chef Sun? It must have been tough for a Half-Saint pinnacle cultivator to hide in a restaurant for so many years …
…
At the foot of Jingqing Mountain, there was a small village surrounded by a river. In a small piece of farmland, crops and weeds grew intertwined. The weeds were abundant, but the bean sprouts were sparse.
By the side of the farmland, a plain-looking old farmer was squatting on the ridge of the field, smoking a pipe. There was a satisfied look on his face, as if he wasn't bothered by the flourishing weeds.
"Old Tian, I'm afraid that your crops are going to turn yellow again. Hurry up and get rid of the weeds and pests. Otherwise, you'll have to go hungry again next year!"
A farmer walked over and comforted him.
"Old Zhang, that's where you're wrong. Once I get rid of the weeds, how am I supposed to shelter the bean sprouts from the sun? If I get rid of the pests and pests, won't the bean sprouts be lonely? I need to provide the bean sprouts with the most comfortable environment so that they can grow well! Don't spout nonsense if you don't know how to farm! "
Old Tian harrumphed.
"I don't know how to farm? Hehe! " The farmer named Old Zhang shook his head. "Then you should wait for the bean sprouts to bear fruit. I won't delay you any longer …"
"Of course!"
Old Tian chuckled as he continued smoking. However, before he could finish his pipe, he suddenly saw a dignified middle-aged man standing not too far away from him.
"A Half-Saint pinnacle expert who has comprehended the Great Path of Agriculture actually pretended to be an insignificant figure who doesn't know how to farm for twenty years. Tian Gang, you sure are formidable …"
The middle-aged man chuckled.
Old Tian abruptly stood up. Instead of his previous laziness, he glared at the middle-aged man with sharp eyes and asked, "W-who are you?"
"Who I am isn't important. What's important is that I'm here to retrieve the saint remains of Sage Yi Ya. Hand it over, and I won't make a move on you," the middle-aged man replied.
"Dream on!"
Tian Gang waved the hoe in his hand furiously, and the ground beneath him trembled. Following which, he stomped on the ground and dashed away.
But before he could get far, he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine. Following which, he saw the middle-aged man standing right before him.
A palm reminiscent of a dragon's claw tore through the air.
Tian Gang's hoe immediately shattered like an egg. The next moment, he crashed heavily onto the ground, spurting huge mouthfuls of blood.
Hu!
Tian Gang's finger was severed, and his storage ring flew into the air along with his finger. The middle-aged man took a look at it before chuckling. "That's more like it!"
The next moment, a black hole appeared in the air, and the middle-aged man vanished from sight.
"Tearing space apart so casually … Is he really a Sage?"
Tian Gang's body trembled in fear as he fell silent.
…
Chenxu Casino.
It was the largest casino within a radius of ten thousand li, and there were countless gamblers who flocked to it every day.
Seated before a round table, a one-eyed young man swiped all of the chips before him before chuckling softly. "I'm sorry, but I won again. These chips are all mine! Here, here's your reward! "
As he spoke, he flicked all of the chips toward the sexy dealer.
"Thank you, Brother Jun …"
Smiling, the dealer's charming eyes rippled like waves.
However, Brother Jun acted as if he didn't see anything. Grabbing the chips in his hands, he put on his clothes and walked out with widened strides. Before he could get far, he saw a middle-aged couple walking over.
"We would like to have a bet with you as well. May I know if that's possible?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.
"Sure, what do you want to bet on?"
Brother Jun smiled nonchalantly, as if he was worried that he would lose.
The middle-aged man replied impassively, "Let's bet on our lives!"
Brother Jun narrowed his eyes and harrumphed coldly. "How do you want to bet?"
The middle-aged man replied, "Simple. I bet that you'll hand over the skeleton of the Holy Zhou Star!"
Brother Jun narrowed his eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly. "What if I don't hand it over?"
The middle-aged man nodded seriously. "You'll die!"
Without saying a word, Brother Jun abruptly raised his hand and smacked the center of the casino. A powerful might swept across the room, threatening to tear the entire room apart.
"AHHHH!"
Screams echoed incessantly. The seductive dealer had turned into an ear-piercing alarm. Her cries sounded like that of a pig being slaughtered.
The entire room was plunged into chaos.
Hu!
Brother Jun dashed out of the casino, but before he could escape, a hand had already grabbed his shoulder. It felt like an old friend, but at the same time, it felt like a lover. Even though the hand was light, Brother Jun's body stiffened as soon as he came into contact with it.
He knew that if he dared to move, his body would surely explode like a balloon.
The middle-aged man chuckled softly. Without saying a word, he stretched out his finger and took the storage ring from Brother Jun's finger. "You've lost …"
Sou!
The two of them vanished from the spot simultaneously.
Padah!
Sitting on the floor, Brother Jun felt his legs going weak, and he couldn't stand up anymore.
He had lost by handing over the storage ring, but at the very least, he had managed to preserve his life. Otherwise, he would have really died …
It was only at this moment that he realized how frightening that couple was. They weren't people whom he could stand against.
…
The same sight was happening in other parts of the Celestial World as well.
Xue Qianqiu and the Liuyun Sage were also searching everywhere.
In an instant, the entire Celestial World knew that the Dragon Emperor, the Phoenix Monarch, the Firmament Sage, and the Yellow Springs Sage were all searching for the expert who possessed the skeleton of a sage.
In an instant, the cultivators who possessed the skeleton of a sage hid even deeper in the Celestial World. They hid everywhere, not daring to show their faces. In an instant, the entire Celestial World was in a state of panic.
