Chapter 286: Dragon Bone Lures the Ghost King and Seizes the Nine Nether Jade
After Chen Fengshuo returned to the barbarian tribe without stopping, his heart was full of anxiety and anticipation.
He traveled quickly without delaying for a moment, constantly thinking about Chen An's words in his mind and deducing how to deal with the Barbarian King.
However, when he stepped into the barbarian territory and came to the secret room of the Great Barbarian King, he discovered a shocking fact. The Great Barbarian King was lying on the ground without any breath. When he got closer, he found that he was actually dead!
In the secret room, Chen Fengshuo carefully examined the body of the Great Barbarian King, who had been dead for a year.
He was extremely shocked. What Chen An said was actually true. This powerful barbarian in the fusion stage was now dead.
Standing in the secret room, Chen Fengshuo looked around. Everything seemed so unreal, as if it was a dream.
Obviously, the Great Barbarian King died suddenly, otherwise it would be impossible for other barbarian monks to not know about it. Moreover, barbarian monks have no souls, and thus no soul tablets. There is no way to tell whether they are dead or not unless you see it with your own eyes.
Chen Fengshuo quickly recovered from his shock. At this moment, he had to seize this opportunity and take control of the entire barbarian tribe!
Next, relying on his top strength among the barbarians and his absolute control over his own Power Barbarians and Shadow Barbarians, he began to take control of the barbarians.
Chen Fengshuo acted swiftly and decisively. He first announced the death of the Great Barbarian King, then calmed the emotions of the tribe, and then used his prestige and strength to gradually stabilize the situation.
Under the leadership of Chen Fengshuo, the barbarians quickly reorganized themselves, and the tribesmen did not have much objection to the emergence of the new leader.
After all, Chen Fengshuo is very powerful. For the barbarians, the one with the bigger fist is the king!
In addition, the sudden death of the Great Barbarian King plunged the tribe into chaos, and they urgently needed a powerful king to guide them.
However, Chen Fengshuo was not intoxicated by the pleasure brought by power. He clearly remembered Chen An's instructions.
Therefore, after stabilizing the affairs of the clan, Chen Fengshuo did not delay and quickly dealt with the urgent matters of the clan. He then took the Jiuyou Jade and set out again on the journey to Yueri City.
Not long after Chen An sent Chen Fengshuo away, he continued to practice in silence.
After a few days, he noticed a slight fluctuation coming from outside the formation.
He frowned slightly, then stood up and walked out of the cave, only to see a woman standing outside the formation.
Seeing the light figure standing outside the door, the beautiful face, and the cold temperament, it was the Huanyin Miaohuang.
Chen An was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty has arrived. I am sorry that Chen An was unable to greet you from afar."
When Huanyin Miaohuang saw that Chen An had already reached the stage of fusion, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "You really have a profound foundation. I didn't expect that you can really advance to the stage of fusion."
Chen An smiled modestly: "This is all thanks to the Nine Five Zhenbei Formation that the Miao Emperor gave me. Chen An would like to thank you here."
Huanyin Miaohuang nodded slightly: "I gave you this formation that day because I had something to ask for. Since Fellow Daoist Chen An has broken through to the fusion stage, let's talk about what happened at that time."
Chen An nodded: "Please speak, Emperor Miao."
Huanyin Miaohuang took out a jade stone that emitted a faint light and said, "This is the Jiuyou Jade. You have lived in Sun City for a long time, so you must have heard of it. I need you to help me find other Jiuyou Jades."
Chen An glanced at Jiuyouyu casually, and his heart moved slightly, but he did not agree immediately. Instead, he smiled and said, "It has not been many years since I broke through the fusion. Why doesn't Miaohuang go find other emperors?"
Huanyin Miaohuang: "The Holy Emperor has a short life span, and he only wants to solve the problem of life span. Xuanling Danhuang is timid. He heard that most of the Nine Nether Jade is in the underworld, so he dare not get involved in this matter. Bahuang wants to stay in charge of the human race, and Jianghuang is not strong enough. As for you..."
Chen An laughed and said, "I broke through to the fusion stage later than Emperor Jiang, so doesn't that mean I am even less powerful?"
Huanyin Miaohuang chuckled: "Don't think I don't know. In just over a hundred years, you have raised your cultivation from the early stage of fusion to the middle stage of fusion. You are obviously not an ordinary cultivator, and you are far from being comparable to Emperor Jiang."
Chen An smiled slightly: "Miao Huang thinks highly of me, but since I have agreed, I will naturally do my best. However, I wonder if Miao Huang has any clues about the Jiuyou Jade?"
After saying this, Chen An secretly laughed in his heart. His cultivation in the middle stage of fusion was only on the surface. His real cultivation had already reached the late stage of fusion.
Huanyin Miaohuang nodded: "The ghost emperor who occupies the Silver Horn Clan's territory in the Xiuxian world has a Nine Nether Jade on him, but this person is very powerful and it is far beyond the reach of ordinary people to kill him."
"This Ghost King is called Yin Bone Ghost King. He is cautious by nature and doesn't go out easily. He has been staying in the Silver Horn Continent since he occupied the Silver Horn Clan. With the passage to the underworld there, he can have an endless supply of underworld troops to support him from behind. If he stays put, it will be much more difficult for us to obtain the Nine Nether Jade."
Chen An frowned slightly: "Since the Emperor Miao has come to see me, I guess he has a solution?"
Huanyin Miaohuang smiled and explained, "That's right. The technique this person practices is quite special. He needs a lot of bones from living creatures to help him practice. Over time, he has developed a special hobby. He likes to collect all kinds of rare bones, especially those with unique properties."
"With this in mind, we have found a very rare dragon skeleton from ancient times. We plan to use part of the skeleton to have a bribed Silver Horn Clan monk present it to the Yin Bone Ghost Emperor, so as to lure him out and then ambush him halfway."
"In addition to you and me, there are three other Taoist friends in the late stage of fusion who will work together to ensure that everything goes well."
Hearing this, Chen An frowned. The four Miao Huangs were all in the late stage of fusion, and so was the Ghost Emperor. But why did they look for a cultivator like him who was apparently in the middle stage of fusion?
He immediately asked about his doubts, and then inquired about the other party's detailed plan. Only then did he find out that the reason why Chen An was involved was that it was a necessary part of the plan.
It turns out that the Yin Bone Ghost King is a cautious person, and when he travels he will definitely bring a dozen Ghost Kings with him, so it is quite a big event.
Therefore, they planned to take advantage of the departure of the Yin Bone Ghost King and let Chen An launch a sneak attack in public to paralyze the opponent, while at the same time sending someone to pretend to launch a sneak attack on the Silver Horn Continent.
At this time, the Yin Bone Ghost Emperor would inevitably send most of the Ghost Emperors back to rescue. He himself would probably be reluctant to part with the ancient dragon skeleton and continue to move forward. Then the Huanyin Miao Emperor and three other late-stage fusion cultivators would hide in the dark and attack at the right time to besiege and kill them.
Chen An felt that the plan was quite comprehensive and had no obvious flaws, so he agreed to it. After making the appointment, he followed Miao Huang to the vicinity of the Silver Horn Continent.
The Silver Horn Continent is where the Silver Horn clan lives and reproduces. Although its area is not as vast as the Tianyuan Continent, it is comparable to Qingcangzhou.
This place is extremely far away from the Tianyuan Continent. Even with the escape speed of an ordinary fusion cultivator, it would take about a year to reach it.
After a long journey, Chen An and Miao Huang finally arrived at the sea area east of the Silver Horn Continent.
The Silver Horn Continent was originally the home of the Silver Horn Clan, but now it has been occupied by monks from the underworld and has become their stronghold.
The members of the Silver Horn tribe were forced to submit to the rule of the monks from the underworld and lived in humiliation and oppression. Every Silver Horn monk dreamed of one day driving away the monks from the underworld and regaining their Silver Horn continent.
However, Ming Xiu's strength far exceeds that of the Silver Horn Clan, so they can only endure it temporarily.
At this moment, Feng Ming stood in front of the magnificent Silver Horn Palace that once belonged to the Silver Horn Clan, his heart full of bitterness.
This palace was once the pride of the Silver Horn Clan, but now it is occupied by the Yin Bone Ghost King and other Ghost Kings, and has become their place of residence and practice.
Feng Ming sighed softly and walked into the hall.
Inside the main hall, the Yin Bone Ghost Emperor was surrounded by the skeletons of various combined cultivators, including the remains of humans, demons, and even dragons and phoenixes, with many skeletons of Silver Horn ancestors scattered among them.
Seeing this, Feng Ming's heart couldn't help but surge.
"Lord Yin Gu," Feng Ming lowered his head, trying to suppress the anger in his heart and trying to make his tone sound respectful: "I have made some new discoveries during this visit."
The Yin Bone Ghost Emperor stopped practicing, stood up from the pile of bones, turned to look at Feng Ming, with a flash of impatience in his eyes: "What did you find this time? If you can't find the bones of the ancient combined cultivators, I will use your bones to assist me in my practice!" Feng Ming hated it in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on the surface. He could only lower his head and whispered: "This time is different, I found the skeleton of an ancient dragon!"
When the Yin Bone Ghost Emperor heard this, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Bring it to me!"
Feng Ming carefully presented a rib, and the Yin Bone Ghost King took it and examined it carefully, a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face: "Good stuff! Tell me, where did you find this?"
"This rib was accidentally discovered deep underground on a small island a million miles east of the Silver Horn Continent. There are powerful restrictions there, and we took great pains to get it." Feng Ming replied with a wry smile.
"Useless! No wonder you are ruled by us!"
The Yin Bone Ghost King taunted, "Where are the rest of the skeletons?"
"It's on a deserted island overseas. The restrictions there are too strong for us to open it easily. We can only take this piece." Feng Ming explained again.
The Yin Bone Ghost King pondered for a moment, touched the rib in his hand, fumbled for this special bone, and finally decided to go there in person: "Take twenty Ghost Kings with me, and I will go there myself!"
There are a total of twenty Ghost Kings, plus the Yin Bone Ghost King, a total of two in the late fusion stage, six in the middle fusion stage, and thirteen in the early fusion stage. They are enough to crush most of the second-rate forces in the world of immortal cultivation.
But before leaving, Feng Ming suggested leaving half of the monks to guard the island in case of any accidents.
However, the Yin Bone Ghost King had different considerations.
"Just leave a small number of the Seventh Rank Ghost Emperors on the island, and most of the people will follow me!"
The voice of the Yin Bone Ghost King echoed in the empty hall, sounding particularly majestic.
The complete ancient dragon skeleton was extremely important to his cultivation and could not be lost, so he decided to bring as many high-level monks as possible to ensure that nothing could go wrong.
Anyway, as long as the combined cultivators are not killed, the Silver Horn Continent will be safe.
Feng Ming stood aside, smiling bitterly in his heart. This Yin Bone Ghost King was still cautious and selfish by nature, so he would have a greater chance of success this time.
Following an order from the Yin Bone Ghost Emperor, a group of twenty-two people left the Silver Horn Continent.
In the vast sea east of the Silver Horn Continent, the waves were surging and the sky was covered with dark clouds.
Chen An, Huanyin Miaohuang, and three cultivators from the Demon Clan, Wood Clan and Black Turtle Clan, a total of five people, were lurking in a hidden place in this sea area.
In front of them was a bottomless reef area, which was the only way for the Yin Bone Ghost King to pass.
Chen An was wearing a green robe, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring at the distant horizon.
The Magic Queen Huanyin has a graceful figure, wearing a purple dress and holding a communication talisman in her hand. She has a frown on her face, as if she is waiting for some important news.
Suddenly, the communication talisman flashed with light. Miao Huang opened it and his expression changed. He quickly read the information on it.
"The Yin Bone Ghost King has left the Silver Horn Continent and is heading here."
Miao Huang looked up at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, please act according to the previous plan."
He looked at the demon cultivator and said, "Liefeng, tell your demon army to pretend to attack the Silver Horn Continent. The closest to the Silver Horn Continent is your demon alliance, so it would be most appropriate for you to take action, and it would not arouse the other side's suspicion."
The demon cultivator is named Liefeng. He has long golden hair, a burly figure, and holds a huge battle axe. He is a leader among the combined cultivators in the demon alliance.
Liefeng nodded: "Don't worry, I guarantee it will be foolproof. I will come back to support you after I have arranged my subordinates."
Immediately, Liefeng left first and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The cultivator of the Wood Clan is called Lulin and wears a green robe. The cultivator of the Black Turtle Clan is called Xuanjia. He has a huge body and carries a thick tortoise shell on his back. It is said that his defense is amazing.
Xuan Jia snorted coldly: "That idiot Xuan Yan actually traded the Nine Nether Jade away. The next time I see him, I will definitely teach him a lesson!"
Whenever Xuan Jia thought of what Xuan Yan had done in Yueri City, he would get furious and always curse Xuan Yan with gritted teeth.
Miao Huang frowned slightly and said, "Don't talk about these useless things. Let's get ready as soon as possible. Once the time is right, we will take action immediately."
Xuanjia snorted twice and said nothing more. After all, taking the Jiuyou Jade was the most important thing.
According to the plan, Chen An also led a team of cultivators ranging from the early to late stages of the Refined Void Realm to ambush at the designated location.
These are just cannon fodder gathered together by the other people, and they are really pitiful.
The crowd dispersed and hid among the reefs.
Chen An traveled thousands of miles to the west and ambushed on a small island he had found in advance. He stood on a high point, overlooking the sea ahead, his mind highly concentrated, always paying attention to the movements in the distance.
Time flies.
I don't know how long I waited, but a black figure appeared in the distance. There were about 20 Ghost King-level warriors following him. He was filled with a sinister aura. Who else could it be but the Yin Bone Ghost King? !
Seeing this, Chen An immediately ordered: "Action!"
In an instant, Chen An turned into a stream of light and jumped down from a great place. The sword in his hand flashed and pointed directly at the Yin Bone Ghost King.
Other cultivators also took out their own magic weapons and attacked the Ghost Kings.
Seeing this, the Yin Bone Ghost King snorted coldly and waved the bone staff in his hand. Countless Yin Bone puppets appeared on the battlefield, blocking the offensive of Chen An and others.
The Yin Bone Ghost Emperor sneered: "A bunch of ants who don't know their own strength dare to challenge me. Go!"
Seeing this, Chen An deliberately showed surprise: "So many Ghost Kings?! The intelligence is wrong, retreat!"
However, just when Chen An and others deliberately retreated, the Yin Bone Ghost King did not let them go easily, but ordered his men to chase them closely.
At this moment, a Ghost King hurried to the side of the Yin Bone Ghost King and whispered: "Yin Bone, there is news from the rear that the demon army suddenly attacked the Silver Horn Continent!"
The face of the Yin Bone Ghost Emperor changed, and he said sternly: "This group of damned monsters!"
He quickly gave the order: "Leave two Seventh-order Early Stage Ghost Kings to go with me, and the rest of you return immediately to provide assistance!"
After receiving the order, more than a dozen Ghost Kings turned into black shadows and rushed towards the direction of the Silver Horn Continent.
The Yin Bone Ghost King, along with two Ghost Kings in the early stages of fusion, continued to fly towards the direction where Chen An and the others left, attempting to kill them.
