Holy Soul Village Back Mountain

The carriage wheels rumbled over the gravel on the official road, producing sharp crunching sounds.

It had to be said that the carriage pulled by Red King was incredibly steady. There was hardly any violent jolting along the way, and it was moving very quickly.

If Di Tian had not told Red King to slow down, he probably would have run the carriage itself to pieces.

Inside the carriage at that moment, Huang Long and Bear Lord naturally began chatting.

From their conversation, he finally learned the whole truth.

It turned out that when he had awakened his martial soul, Yinglong's skyward roar had disturbed the sleeping Silver Dragon King.

The Silver Dragon King had concluded that the sound had come from the reincarnation of the Dragon God, so she had sent Di Tian and the others out to find him.

Bear Lord grinned. "If we'd known Dragon God, my lord, was overseas, why would we have gone to so much trouble?"

"We could have simply followed the Silver Dragon King and charged into the sea to welcome you out. Why would we have needed to search for six years?"

Sea Maiden Douluo snorted unhappily. "Charged into the sea? You make it sound easy."

"Setting Sea God Island aside, there are countless powerful sea soul beasts in the ocean, including Great White Demon Soul Sharks and the Evil Orca King."

"There's even a nine-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale King. Even our High Priest can do nothing against it."

"And you think you could handle that?"

Rather than feeling afraid after hearing this, Bear Lord merely snorted with disdain.

"Human, you do not understand what the title 'Silver Dragon King' means."

"Do you know what 'my lord' means?"

"Whether they live in the sea or on land, as long as they are soul beasts, the Silver Dragon King and the Dragon God are our lords."

"This is not a matter of strength. It is carved into our bloodlines."

"Forget a nine-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year-old sea soul beast. Even if it were a million years old, as long as my lord gave the order, it would have to kneel and submit!"

Sea Maiden Douluo's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing that.

It sounded as though the lord they spoke of held an extremely high status, much like the High Priest of Sea God Island.

Even that nine-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale King had to obey that lord's commands.

Wouldn't Huang Long have to kneel as well if he went there?

How could that be allowed?

Huang Long was Sea God Island's noble Holy Son and the High Priest's disciple. How could he kneel before a soul beast?

Thinking of this, Sea Maiden Douluo hurriedly said to Huang Long, "Holy Son, that ruler of the soul beasts sounds far too dangerous. Perhaps you should not go?"

The moment Bear Lord heard that, he became anxious.

Why was this human woman always ruining things?

But Huang Long merely smiled and waved a hand. "It is fine, Sister Sea Maiden. I know what I am doing."

Sea Maiden Douluo opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something.

But when she saw the calm confidence on Huang Long's face, she did not know what else to say.

After that, Huang Long asked Bear Lord about other matters.

For example... Xiao Wu, the Soft Bone Rabbit living by the Lake of Life.

The moment Bear Lord heard him ask about this, he immediately perked up.

"Dragon God, my lord, are you asking about that little rabbit? She's about the same age as you are now."

"And she's currently in Notting City."

"If we hadn't been in such a hurry to find Dragon God, my lord, we would have brought her along too."

Huang Long was instantly delighted upon hearing that.

Then it seemed the timeline was still when Tang San was only twelve years old, and he had not yet gone to Shrek Academy.

The Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone he wanted was still behind the waterfall on the back mountain of Holy Soul Village!

Not bad, not bad. At the very least, that was good news.

Bear Lord asked curiously, "Dragon God, my lord, Old Bear doesn't understand. Why are we going to that Saint-whatever Village?"

Huang Long replied calmly, "Because there is a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone there."

Bear Lord froze for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"So that's all my lord wants! Old Bear thought it was some great treasure!"

"If you return to the Star Dou Great Forest with us, my lord, you can have as many soul bones as you want."

Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo, seated nearby, both turned to look at him in astonishment.

A soul bone was an invaluable treasure in the world of soul masters.

Yet when they spoke of them, it sounded as though they were cheap goods laid out at a roadside stall for the picking.

Huang Long, however, shook his head.

He had to obtain the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone.

It was the finest soul bone for the right leg—bar none.

Just then, the carriage gradually slowed down.

Immediately afterward, the voices of Sea Dragon Douluo and Di Tian came from outside the carriage at the same time.

"Holy Son (Lord Dragon God), we've arrived at Holy Soul Village. Should we enter the village directly, or look around nearby first?"

"We're here already?"

Huang Long was secretly astonished. Traveling by carriage from Vast Sea City to Holy Soul Village should have taken at least several days.

He had not expected Red King to be so fast. It felt like less than four hours had passed.

The group promptly jumped down from the carriage.

The first thing that came into view was a somewhat dilapidated archway, bearing three large red characters—"Holy Soul Village."

This village had been given its name because it had once produced a Soul Sage-level Soul Master.

Sea Dragon Douluo frowned slightly and moved closer to Huang Long, asking curiously, "Holy Son, are you sure there's really a hundred-thousand-year soul bone here?"

"This village is so small, I doubt it even has a single Soul Master."

"What's the rush? Just follow me." Huang Long waved a hand, then turned and headed down another path instead of entering the village directly.

Although Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo were full of doubts, they had no choice but to follow.

Di Tian turned to Bear Lord and said, "Bear Lord, follow Lord Dragon God. Red King and I will stay here and keep watch."

"Got it!" Bear Lord grinned and strode after them.

The group of four moved swiftly. Before long, they had gone around Holy Soul Village and arrived at a place surrounded by mountains.

A waterfall hundreds of meters long poured straight down from the cliff, its thunderous roar shaking the air.

"Found it."

Huang Long's heart leaped with joy. This should be the waterfall where Tang Hao had hidden Ah Yin.

He immediately summoned his Yinglong martial soul and activated a soul skill to fly into the sky.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Water Control Technique."

He reached out and grabbed at the air. It was as though an invisible giant hand had seized the waterfall and ripped it apart down the middle, pulling it to either side!

"Holy Son, is that the place?"

Sea Dragon Douluo immediately raised a hand and pointed at the cave, loudly calling out to Huang Long.

"That's right, it's there!"

The moment Huang Long saw the stone cave, he was overjoyed. He swiftly spread his dragon wings and flew over.

"Uncle Sea Dragon, Sister Sea Maiden, Old Bear, hurry and follow!"

The three who had been called exchanged glances, then quickly followed, jumping onto the platform outside the cave.

As soon as the group reached the platform, they sensed a faint life energy permeating the air.

Moreover, the deeper they went into the cave, the richer that life energy became.

Sea Dragon Douluo was secretly shocked.

Could there really be a hundred-thousand-year soul bone here, just as the Holy Son had said?

Tap, tap, tap—!

Everyone entered the stone cave together.

But after walking less than ten meters, they found their way blocked by a stone door in the pitch-black cave.

They could also feel that the life energy filling the air was drifting out from behind that stone door.

Bear Lord glanced at Huang Long, then stepped forward voluntarily. "Lord Dragon God, leave this stone door to Old Bear!"

Huang Long looked at him and nodded. "Fine, but be careful. Don't damage what's inside."

"Don't worry, Old Bear knows what he's doing!" Bear Lord rubbed his fists and walked over, stopping in front of the door as he raised his right hand.

Sky-Rending Claw!

Bang—!

The next second.

The stone door shattered in response.
