PS: This chapter is an extra update in gratitude for the reward from the Silver Alliance Leader Extinguished.
The True Dragon Inner Core actually shot straight toward Murong Zongzheng. No one had expected it, and everyone was caught completely off guard.
Murong Zongzheng himself froze for a moment, but quickly reacted. A surge of blood qi erupted from his body as he directly burned his blood essence for maximum speed, vanishing in an instant.
Su Xin was also taken aback. Murong Zongzheng truly was decisive—he had burned his blood essence and fled the very instant he seized the True Dragon Inner Core.
The others had reacted by then, but what could they do even after reacting? At their speed, they could no longer catch up. Even if they chased all the way to the gates of the Murong clan now, the True Dragon Inner Core would probably already be in Murong Longqie's stomach!
What could they do then? Kill Murong Longqie and cut out the True Dragon Inner Core?
Setting aside whether Murong Longqie, already at the peak of the Yang Spirit Realm, would let them kill him, once the True Dragon Inner Core had entered his stomach, it would already be undergoing refinement. When its power was fully released, it would be like a shattered wine jug. Even if they took it out, it would be useless; they could only watch helplessly as its power dissipated between heaven and earth.
Thus, they could be certain that after obtaining the inner core, Murong Longqie would immediately release its power completely and begin consuming and refining it. Though no one knew how long it would take to fully refine its power, once an inner core was used, its power could no longer be sealed away again.
It was like the Buddha
