A Flustered Dugu Bo, External Soul Bone Skills

"I'm willing to take Bi Ji with me, but given her identity, I'm afraid human experts may see through her."

Yu Mingxiao considered for a moment before voicing his concern.

He had no objection to keeping Bi Ji by his side, but unlike Na'er, Bi Ji could not conceal her aura. If human experts discovered her, the consequences would be unimaginable.

If these Soul Beasts had not considered that, he felt it necessary to remind them.

Di Tian said calmly, "Rest assured. Bi Ji carries a Reverse Scale bestowed by our lord, which can conceal her aura. No one outside will be able to see through her true identity."

"That's good. Can you find out where my other companion is? He probably hasn't left the Star Dou Great Forest. Please help me look for him."

Yu Mingxiao suddenly remembered Dugu Bo, who had come to the Star Dou Great Forest with him.

Judging from Dugu Bo's situation, Yu Mingxiao figured that after seeing him captured, Dugu Bo would surely have searched all over the Star Dou Great Forest.

After all, if he dared return to the clan, Yu Yuanzhen would skin him alive at the very least. And with his son still in the clan, he could not possibly flee in fear of punishment. Thus, the Star Dou Great Forest was the most likely place for him to remain.

"Your companion? Do you mean that green fellow covered from head to toe?" Di Tian recalled the scene from that day and asked.

"That's right, him." Yu Mingxiao nodded and said softly, "Please help me find him."

"Wait a moment," Di Tian said. "I'll find King of Ten Thousand Demons. If your companion hasn't left the Star Dou Great Forest, King of Ten Thousand Demons can locate him instantly."

"Alright. Go and come back quickly."

Di Tian plunged into the lake and entered the small space where Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was imprisoned.

At that moment, a group of Ferocious Beasts surrounded a plump Ice Silkworm, absorbing the Soul Power leaking from its body to increase their cultivation.

Di Tian's arrival immediately drew the Ferocious Beasts' attention.

Xiong Jun said, "Di Tian, weren't you receiving that human our lord values? Are you done already?"

"That human will be leaving soon," Di Tian said. "He'll be taking Bi Ji with him."

"What?!" The Ferocious Beasts were instantly dumbfounded.

Xiong Jun frowned, about to ask something, but Di Tian shot him a glance and said gravely, "This is our lord's plan."

The moment they heard it was their lord's plan, they swallowed the questions on the tips of their tongues. Even if they had ten times the courage, they would not dare question a true god.

Di Tian turned his gaze toward a sinister-looking middle-aged man and said, "King of Ten Thousand Demons, search for the whereabouts of the man in green who was with our lord's avatar that day."

"Is this also our lord's request?" King of Ten Thousand Demons asked.

"No, it is that human's request."

Di Tian gently shook his head and said in a deep voice, "But our lord instructed us to befriend that human. This is not my responsibility alone, so don't treat it carelessly."

"Fine." King of Ten Thousand Demons sighed softly, closed his eyes, and sensed the information relayed to him by every plant in the Star Dou Great Forest.

A moment later, he found Dugu Bo's whereabouts.

"Found him. I'll transmit the location to you. Go up and inform that human." King of Ten Thousand Demons used an ability similar to spiritual sharing to pass the location to Di Tian.

"I'll be right back," Di Tian said, vanishing from the small space in the blink of an eye.

The plump Ice Silkworm surrounded by countless Soul Beasts stared at the place where Di Tian had vanished, inwardly pulling a miserable face as he muttered to himself:

I've had enough of this miserable life of imprisonment. These Soul Beasts are actually befriending a human. Perhaps... that human is my chance to escape. Even staying in a human's Sea of Spirit would be a thousand times more comfortable than this place...

Meanwhile.

Ever since personally witnessing Yu Mingxiao being seized by an enormous dragon claw, Dugu Bo had been frantic with worry.

He was almost certain that Yu Mingxiao had been abducted by Soul Beasts.

With no way out, Dugu Bo could only grit his teeth and search for Yu Mingxiao's trail in the perilous Star Dou Great Forest, suffering injuries in the process.

He had just escaped the pursuit of a Soul Beast. Panting heavily, he muttered, "That Soul Beast seemed to tear through space to seize the young clan master. Its strength was terrifying. It must live in the most dangerous Core Zone. Should I go in and take a look?"

Dugu Bo was deeply wary of the Core Zone. After all, everyone knew it was an extremely dangerous place.

He did not even dare venture deep into the Core Zone of Sunset Forest, much less the far more infamous Star Dou Great Forest.

Suddenly, a man and a woman emerged from the grass ahead.

"Young Clan Master?!" Dugu Bo sprang to his feet, his face filled with bewilderment. "Y-you're alright?"

Yu Mingxiao's expression darkened as he said sharply, "Dugu Bo, were you hoping something had happened to me?"

"No, that's not what I meant." Dugu Bo hurriedly explained, "I was just so excited to see you appear so suddenly that I couldn't speak properly."

Of course he was. As long as Yu Mingxiao was safe and sound, he could return to the clan and report in, without worrying about being punished by Yu Yuanzhen.

Yu Mingxiao let out a breath and sighed. "Let's go. It's time to leave the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Alright. I've wanted to leave this place for a long time too."

Dugu Bo nodded, then looked at Bi Ji beside Yu Mingxiao. "By the way, where's Na'er? Why don't I see her? And who is this young lady?"

"This is Bi Ji. I happened to meet her in the Star Dou Great Forest, and she wants to join the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so I brought her along. As for Na'er... she was taken away by a Black Dragon."

Yu Mingxiao made up the excuse casually, randomly finding a reason when mentioning Na'er.

"Young Clan Master, this... what exactly did you encounter?" Dugu Bo could not help asking.

Yu Mingxiao said in a deep voice, "A Black Dragon captured Na'er and me. After taking Na'er away, he left me alone. As for why, I don't know."

Bi Ji struggled to suppress her laughter, the corners of her lips twitching slightly, yet she did not dare laugh aloud.

Though Dugu Bo was full of doubts, he asked no more. He took the lead to clear the way, and the three of them headed straight out of the Star Dou Great Forest.

There had been three of them when they entered, and there were still three when they left. Only Na'er had been replaced by Bi Ji, leaving Yu Mingxiao with mixed feelings.

After stepping out of the Star Dou Great Forest, Yu Mingxiao suddenly wanted to try using his External Soul Bone to fly back to the clan, but after giving it some thought, he decided against it.

He was only a Soul King. Even with an ultimate Martial Soul, his Soul Power was not especially abundant.

The energy level of a Hundred-Thousand-Year External Soul Bone was not something he could easily bear. Using it consumed an enormous amount of Soul Power, unless he condensed a Soul Core to replenish his Soul Power continuously, or broke through to Soul Saint...

The skills of his External Soul Bone were quite good, including both passive and active abilities.

Sacred Radiance Heavenly Body: After using the External Wing Bone, all attributes increased by 200%, while light attributes increased by 300%.

Light Feather Divine Movement: Granted the ability to fly, with flight speed additionally increased by 400%.

Flying Dragon Perception: Danger prediction (avoiding danger in advance), spatial perception (accurately judging distance and anticipating surprise attacks from spatial abilities).

Sacred Light Rejuvenation: Accelerated wound healing.

Besides that, it also had two active skills.

Void-Breaking Flash: Short-range spatial Teleportation, capable of consecutive flashes.

Light Feather Heavenly Punishment: The wings fired countless arrows of light in a wide-range piercing attack. It could also gather the wings' source power for a powerful strike.

Compared to ordinary Spirit Bones, External Soul Bones were superior because they not only possessed active skills, but also came with many passive skills. They could continuously grow, with limitless potential.

That was also why Tang San had regarded an External Soul Bone as one of his trump cards in the early stages.

After traveling by carriage for several days, the three finally returned to the familiar Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

A helpless smile curled at Yu Mingxiao's lips as he thought, This Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring will be hard to explain. Father will probably be frightened out of his wits later...
