Chapter 725: Making Grat.i.tude and Grudges Clear

When Xiao Chen heard what Shui Lingling said, he smiled gently. However, his gaze remained fixed on the central True Dragon remains. There was no pride in his eyes.

The five Fiend Race loose cultivators had transformed into their Fiend forms. However, An Junxi still held the advantage. Standing on the colossal dragon skull, he used a lightning whip to keep all five Fiend Race loose cultivators suppressed.

“Let’s stop speaking about that and split up the True Dragon remains. I hope that we will be lucky and find a few drops of Dragon Marrow.” Shui Lingling called the group over, smiling.

Even after the rest started moving, Xiao Chen remained where he was. The group could not help giving him puzzled looks, not knowing what he wanted to do.

Xiao Chen gazed expressionlessly at w.a.n.g Cheng and said in a cold and calm voice, “This person is not qualified to share in the spoils of the True Dragon remains.”

When Hu Hai and the others heard that, their expressions changed. Doubt filled their minds. Xiao Chen’s words were rather hurtful, entirely out of character for him.

w.a.n.g Cheng started sweating heavily in panic. The moment had finally come. Xiao Chen really did not intend to let him off.

When w.a.n.g Cheng saw Xiao Chen return and show off his power, he had already guessed the end. Now that it was actually here and he still could not avoid it, he was a bundle of nerves.

Chen Xiao said, “Junior Brother Xiao Chen, although w.a.n.g Cheng had said some mean things to you and shown you a lot of disrespect, we are all from the same sect. There is no need to push things this far.”

Shui Lingling looked around and saw w.a.n.g Cheng blanch and tremble. She felt that something was odd, so she frowned and said, “Don’t speak yet. Let Xiao Chen finish.”

A murderous intent flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes as he stared at w.a.n.g Cheng. Then, he enunciated every word, saying, “Back at the True Dragon Storm, I did not lose my grip and fly out. Rather, he mounted a sneak attack and kicked me out.”

What Xiao Chen said blew everyone’s minds. They could not believe it was true.

Jun Si’s pretty face turned cold. She immediately raged, “w.a.n.g Cheng, is what Junior Brother Xiao Chen said true?!”

Hu Hai remained silent and looked at w.a.n.g Cheng with an expression filled with helplessness. Given what he knew of Xiao Chen’s character, Xiao Chen would definitely not slander w.a.n.g Cheng.

Back then, he had found it bizarre that Xiao Chen had fallen into the True Dragon Storm. Even Jun Si, the weakest among them, had not been pulled out. How then had Xiao Chen gotten sucked into the True Dragon Storm?

Everyone had only been confused and incredulous, but no one suspected w.a.n.g Cheng. No matter what, they were all on the same team; he could not have been so vicious.

w.a.n.g Cheng glanced at Shui Lingling’s expression. She turned cold, radiating a murderous intent, not showing any emotion. Her reaction dashed his final hope.

Only Shui Lingling could suppress Xiao Chen. He had been hoping that this First Senior Sister would help him persuade Xiao Chen on account of his true inheritor status, at least to postpone any punishment until after they returned to the sect.

It looked like there was no more hope; Shui Lingling did not intend to help w.a.n.g Cheng at all.

Run!

w.a.n.g Cheng did not even bother with Jun Si’s questions. Without saying a word, he immediately turned to run. He had to survive today at least; only by leaving this place would he stand a chance of making it out alive.

Using his Movement Technique, w.a.n.g Cheng fled at full speed. As long as Shui Lingling did not attack, if the others wanted to chase after him in this chaotic burial ground, they would have to spend a lot of effort. Xiao Chen should be no exception to this.

“Boom!”

However, w.a.n.g Cheng underestimated Shui Lingling’s rage. He had only moved two hundred meters when a fiery light flashed like a meteor. Then, his head exploded in a burst of scarlet.

Shui Lingling gently lowered her bow with a complicated expression. She said after a drawn-out sigh, “Originally, I was planning on using the Flowing Light Arrow to deal with Bai Wuxue. Unexpectedly, I ended up using it on one of our own.”

w.a.n.g Cheng’s headless corpse slowly fell over, startling the people around who saw this. They did not know what had happened.

“This is odd. Shui Lingling actually attacked one of her own.” Incredulous, Murong Lingfeng leaped off the True Dragon remains.

Luo Zixiao, who had fought Murong Lingfeng to a draw, said uncaringly, “That is a matter internal to the Supreme Sky Sect. It has nothing to do with us. We had best focus on whether this set of True Dragon remains has any Dragon Marrow. If there is some, then this trip will be worth it.”

Murong Lingfeng stood on the spine of the True Dragon remains, counting the segments. When he got to the ninth one, he stopped.

“Ha ha, I advise you not to hope too much. This one is a follower True Dragon, so there’s not much chance of it having Dragon Marrow. The one that An Junxi is fighting for has the best odds,” Murong Lingfeng said calmly as he smiled and removed the ninth vertebra.

The True Dragons also had different rankings. Typically, there would be only one alpha in a True Dragon Cave. The rest would be its subordinates.

Clearly, in this burial ground, the most ma.s.sive set of remains, which was under An Junxi’s feet, belonged to the alpha.

That set of True Dragon remains also had the highest chance of containing Dragon Marrow. Otherwise, it would not have resulted in the Fiend Race loose cultivators working together or interested An Junxi.

Naturally, Luo Zixiao understood this as well. He stepped forward and gently touched the True Dragon remains. Then he said indifferently, “It does not really matter. Along the way, the fruits and Spirit Herbs that we picked, as well as the rare ores we found, already covered our cost and gave us some profit.

“If we find Dragon Marrow, it will be a pleasant surprise. If we do not, we have not lost anything.”

Murong Lingfeng held up the dragon vertebra in his hand and shook it hard. As the vertebra was empty, no sound came from it. He could not help but be slightly disappointed.
