Chu Ling Xiao was very concerned about the current situation of High Heaven Pavilion while Ling Tai Xu also wanted to chat with his Ancestral Founder. Seeing that they seemed to have a lot to talk about, Feiyu beckoned to Yang Kai from the side before quietly withdrawing.
Yang Kai quickly excused himself and left.
Outside the secret room, following Yang Kai, Cangyan and the others also came out.
They had come here to report something to Chu Ling Xiao, but seeing him and Ling Tai Xu chatting happily, they did not disturb them.
"Little Martial Nephew, I heard your Nine Heavens Holy Land's development is quite good?" Feiyu looked at Yang Kai with a smile.
"It's just so-so," Yang Kai grinned meaningfully.
"I also heard that the Saintesses of your Nine Heavens Holy Land are all obedient to the Holy Master, is that true? Little Martial Nephew, how many Saintesses have you found? " Rimaru poked his head out and asked with a wretched expression before solemnly saying, "Little boy, although you're young and strong, you need to exercise restraint, don't harm your body."
Yang Kai's face went black, not knowing what to say, quickly changing the subject, "Martial Uncles, did you just come back from outside?"
"En," Cangyan nodded, "We went to the Snow Mountain Range to investigate the situation."
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Yang Kai asked curiously.
The four Saints glanced at each other, Feiyu thinking for a moment before asking, "Little Martial Nephew isn't an outsider, why don't we talk about it?"
Cangyan nodded, "We can talk about it, it's also a good opportunity for Little Martial Nephew to remind your Nine Heavens Holy Land to pay attention."
Seeing the dignified look on their faces, Yang Kai suddenly realized that this matter was somewhat unusual, otherwise, how could four Saint Realm masters treat it so seriously?
"Come with us," Feiyu beckoned and then led Yang Kai to the side with the other three Martial Uncles.
"More than half a year ago, the world's Mysterious Small Worlds opened on their own, Little Martial Nephew should know, right?" As they walked, Cangyan asked.
"I know." Yang Kai gently nodded. On top of that, he also suspected that the opening of all the Mysterious Small Worlds had something to do with him destroying the space where Great Demon God's Soul Clone was.
Although there was no definitive evidence, the timing was quite consistent. It was when the space was destroyed that all the entrances to the Small Sealed World opened.
"We don't know if there is any connection between these two events, but ever since the entrances to the Mysterious Small Worlds were all opened, something happened in the Snow Mountain Range."
"What's the situation?" Yang Kai asked.
"A top-notch expert has mysteriously appeared," the Cangyan replied in a low voice.
"Expert?"
"A Third Order Saint!"
Yang Kai's expression changed.
The number of Third Order Saints in the entire Tong Xuan Realm could be counted on one's fingers. Among the Three Clans, the total number of such masters added together did not exceed twenty.
Yang Kai knew that the Demon Race only had five such masters, in addition to Demon Commander Zhang Yuan, there were also the Four Demon General.
On the Monster Race's side, only three Monster Race Great Seniors had reached such a level, namely Scarlet Flame Thunder Dragon, Earth Shaking Divine Ox, and Ice Jade Python.
The Human Race's side had slightly more such masters, but not by much.
Such a master suddenly appearing in the Snow Mountain Range was naturally a cause for concern.
"Which race is it?" Yang Kai hurriedly asked.
The expressions of his four Martial Uncles suddenly became strange, the Cangyan hesitating for a moment before saying, "It is precisely because we cannot determine which race it is that it is puzzling. When we arrive, you'll understand."
Yang Kai was stunned but no longer asked and simply followed the four Martial Uncles forward.
Listening to what they said, it seemed that the Third Order Saint was being held captive in Soaring Heaven Sect at this moment, which made Yang Kai feel somewhat puzzled.
Capturing a Third Order Saint wasn't a simple matter.
Wearing a puzzled expression, Yang Kai did not say a word.
Following the four Martial Uncles through Soaring Heaven Sect, Yang Kai soon arrived at the foot of a mountain peak. At the base of this mountain peak was a hidden entrance that led the group into a mountain corridor.
Along the side of the corridor, bright torches flickered, giving off a somewhat gloomy atmosphere.
Feeling the pressure on his body, Yang Kai's expression became solemn.
Feiyu took the initiative to explain, "There is a large Spirit Array here that has a restraining effect. It is a place my Soaring Heaven Sect uses to imprison powerful enemies, but this place was generally empty until a few months ago when it was opened."
"That master is being held here?"
"En, the situation is very strange, we don't know how to explain it, it's best if you see it with your own eyes," Cangyan nodded.
All the way down, Yang Kai felt the pressure on his body grow larger and larger, as if an entire mountain was pressing down on him, causing his breathing to become heavy.
This was obviously the residual power of the Spirit Array. Although it was not specifically targeted at Yang Kai, it still made him feel some pressure. If it was specifically targeted, Yang Kai didn't know what kind of person would be able to withstand such pressure.
After descending a thousand meters or so, the group finally arrived at a dim stone room. Inside this stone room, bright lines of light flickered and gathered together to form a huge and complex pattern. At the centre of this pattern was a humanoid figure that was bound.
Chu Ling Xiao's Demon Sealing Chain was firmly wrapped around the humanoid creature's body, constantly releasing a scorching hot power that incinerated its body. At the same time, the humanoid creature's hands and feet were firmly bound by some unknown artifact.
A terrifying murderous aura spread throughout the stone room.
"That's him." Cangyan pointed to the front and said, "Little Martial Nephew, look carefully, if your Nine Heavens Holy Land encounters such a creature in the future, you must be careful. We still can't determine which race he belongs to."
Yang Kai looked towards the humanoid figure and his eyes suddenly shrank, calling out in horror, "Bone Race?"
"What?" The four Martial Uncles all turned to look at him.
Yang Kai frowned and quickly stepped forward, arriving in front of the humanoid figure and carefully examining it, becoming more and more certain of his judgment.
The one bound here was actually a member of the Bone Race!
"Little Martial Nephew, do you know this race?" Cangyan asked anxiously.
"I've seen it before!" Yang Kai nodded solemnly.
"Where did you see it?"
"Seven or eight years ago, when I went to find a Senior Sister of mine, north of the sea, in a place covered in glaciers," Yang Kai quickly explained.
Back then, he had gone to find Su Yan and merged his Souls with her in Ice Sect. The two of them had transformed into Golden Dragons and Ice Phoenixes, wandering the world and inadvertently destroying an iceberg. Inside that iceberg, Yang Kai found a frozen skeleton.
This skeleton was exactly the same as the humanoid figure in front of him, with no flesh or blood, only bones and meridians, a terrifying sight to behold.
At that time, Yang Kai didn't know the depth of this skeleton and thought that it was some Ice Sect disciple who had accidentally encountered it, so he kindly brought back the frozen skeleton.
Ice Master Qing Ya, Elder Qian Yue, and Qian Hao, on the other hand, told Yang Kai a secret.
A long time ago, a race called the Bone Race had mysteriously appeared in Tong Xuan Realm. Their characteristics were that they were skeletons with very little flesh or blood, but each of them possessed tyrannical strength and lived long lives.
The decline of Ice Sect was inextricably related to the Bone Race.
Qing Ya finally asked Yang Kai to burn the skeleton, but the moment Yang Kai burned it, the skeleton, which should have been dead for countless years, revealed a trace of vitality.
At that time, Yang Kai was startled and had a deep impression of this matter.
Now that he saw the skeleton that was bound here, Yang Kai naturally recognized it at a glance.
After listening to Yang Kai's explanation, the expressions of his Martial Seniors became more and more dignified.
"You mean … he lived for thousands of years?" The Cangyan asked in disbelief.
"It should be," Yang Kai nodded.
"Ancestral Founder also said that although this person seemed to have no vitality, he was actually still alive … However, he should have just woken up from a deep sleep and his strength should not have been restored yet, which is why Ancestral Founder was able to easily capture him and bring him back to the Sect."
"This Bone Race person was captured by Ancestral Founder?" Yang Kai turned to look at the other four.
"En, on the same day that all the entrances to the Mysterious Small World opened, Ancestral Founder suddenly felt an abnormal aura coming from the Snow Mountain Range and went to investigate. A few days later, he returned with this person … we all thought he was dead."
"Fortunately, Ancestral Founder had the foresight to bind him here!" Rimaru said with a look of lingering fear.
This Bone Race person's cultivation fluctuations were at the peak of the Third Order Saint Realm, and although they were very faint, his realm was clear. If he had really been allowed to recover, Chu Ling Xiao may not have been able to do anything to him.
"Look, when we came here a few days ago, his meridians were still shriveled, but now they seem to have filled up a bit, and the vitality in his body has also become much richer," Feiyu noticed the situation and quickly reminded them.
"He's recovering!" The Cangyan's face changed.
What kind of astonishing vitality was this? After being frozen in the Snow Mountain Range for thousands of years, he was actually able to recover after waking up, it was simply shocking.
"How come we've never heard of such a race before?" The four people looked at each other in confusion.
"The world is big and full of strange things, there are many things we don't know about. Rimaru, go inform Ancestral Founder and ask him what we should do now, "The Cangyan ordered in a deep voice.
"Yes," Rimaru immediately disappeared.
Originally, he had brought Yang Kai here just to give him a reminder, but Yang Kai had unexpectedly obtained some information, causing the Cangyan to immediately take this matter seriously.
A short time later, Chu Ling Xiao rushed over.
"I've heard the situation from Rimaru. Yang Kai, how much do you know about this Bone Race?" Chu Ling Xiao asked seriously.
"Not much." Yang Kai shook his head, "All I know is that if we want to completely obliterate him, it's best to burn his bones to ashes, otherwise, once he fully recovers, he'll be very difficult to deal with."
"Indeed, this old master has never heard of such a strange race before, but I do know a thing or two about that Ice Sect. I didn't expect their bloodline to still be alive," Chu Ling Xiao took a deep breath.
"Ancestral Founder knows about Ice Sect?" Yang Kai was surprised.
"Of course, that endless Snow Mountain Range was where Ice Sect was founded a long time ago."
Yang Kai was dumbfounded.
However, this also explained why the Bone Race had appeared here. The decline of Ice Sect was inextricably related to the Bone Race. Presumably, a long time ago, they had fought with the Bone Race here and then chased them to that ice world, where they had been stationed.
There, they had not appeared for a long time.
