A Night Raid on the Earth Dragon Sect

"Hehe." Lin Xuan chuckled. "Bing'er, you're right. I'll wait until later to touch them."

"Oh, right." Snow Empress seemed to suddenly remember something and looked at Lin Xuan. "Little Xuan, when those two Limit Douluo fought us last time, they both managed to escape in the end. But that female Douluo severed one of her own arms to escape our fusion technique. There was a Soul Bone attached to that arm."

As she spoke, Snow Empress raised her jade-white wrist and lightly brushed the Ice Crystal Jade Bracelet she wore with her slender fingers. A dark red Soul Bone floated above her palm.

The Ice Crystal Jade Bracelet on Snow Empress's wrist was no ordinary item. It was a storage item rewarded by the system.

In essence, it was similar to the Storage Ring Lin Xuan currently used, except it had been fashioned into a bracelet to be worn on the wrist.

It was different from the Soul Tools found on Douluo Continent.

Snow Empress and Ice Empress each had one. Though its one hundred cubic meters of storage space was not top-tier, it was more than sufficient for their daily use.

"Oh?" Lin Xuan paused slightly, then beckoned with his hand. The dark red Soul Bone hovering over Snow Empress's palm flew over and suspended itself above his own.

"Ye Xishui's Soul Bone?" Lin Xuan murmured. His powerful spiritual power swept lightly across the Soul Bone, instantly revealing all its details.

This was a Soul Bone roughly eighty thousand to ninety thousand years old. Perhaps because Ye Xishui was an evil soul master, the bloodthirsty aura clinging to it was exceptionally intense.

Lin Xuan studied the Soul Bone for a while before storing it in his Storage Ring.

This thing would be of great use to him.

When refining pills on Battle Through the Heavens Continent, one often needed a material known as a Magic Core, the essence that magical beasts had a chance to drop after death.

On Douluo Continent, Soul Bones were another form of Magic Core.

Since he had a ready-made Soul Bone on hand, using it for pill refinement in the future would naturally be an excellent choice.

Although there were plenty of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Icefire Yin Yang Well, who would ever complain about having too many materials? Besides, this Soul Bone's age was too low. He naturally would not absorb it himself, so he might as well save it for pill refinement.

After putting away the Soul Bone, Lin Xuan turned to Ice Empress and Snow Empress and explained, "Bing'er, Xue'er, this Soul Bone is useful to me. It can be used for pill refinement later."

Ice Empress and Snow Empress both nodded without saying much. As soul beasts, this kind of Soul Bone was indeed of little use to them. Since Lin Xuan could use it, it would not go to waste.

Once Lin Xuan and the others had finished eating and rested briefly, they set off for their destination.

After several days of travel, Lin Xuan and the others arrived at their destination—Dragon City—from Mingdu of the Sun Moon Empire!

Dragon City!

This was an extremely prosperous city within the Heaven Dou Empire, with a population no smaller than that of the imperial capital, Heaven Dou City.

Within Dragon City stood the two strongest sects.

The Heaven Dragon Gate and the Earth Dragon Sect.

The Heaven Dragon Gate was the sole surviving legacy of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan from ten thousand years ago. It had been founded by the brothers Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, and its inherited martial soul remained the orthodox Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. The Earth Dragon Sect, meanwhile, had been founded by soul masters with various sub-dragon martial souls.

At this moment, the Earth Dragon Sect lay beneath the curtain of night. The wind howled, and neither stars nor moon could be seen.

"Bing'er, Xue'er, the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave is beneath this sect's grounds." Holding Wang Qiu'er's hand, Lin Xuan looked toward the nearby Earth Dragon Sect.

"Mm... it doesn't really seem like it." Ice Empress stared at the Earth Dragon Sect below for a long while before asking suspiciously, "Little Xuan, is the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave really down there?"

"Of course it is! Bing'er, Xue'er, follow me." Lin Xuan nodded confidently, then took Wang Qiu'er's hand and darted toward the interior of the Earth Dragon Sect.

Ice Empress and Snow Empress exchanged a glance, then moved to follow Lin Xuan.

The Earth Dragon Sect did not occupy much land. It was already deep into the night, and the place was silent. Its interior furnishings were not luxurious, leaning instead toward a simple style.

"If I remember correctly, that well should be in the Earth Dragon Sect's rear courtyard." After thinking for a moment, Lin Xuan headed toward the back of the sect.

Before long, a vast garden came into Lin Xuan and Wang Qiu'er's view. All kinds of flowers and plants filled the garden, while at its deepest point stood a sealed ancient well in silence.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the next moment, two sounds of rushing wind rang out as Ice Empress and Snow Empress silently arrived.

As they drew near the well, Ice Empress and Snow Empress both felt their hearts stir slightly. They could vaguely sense that something within the well was attracting them.

"It really does seem to be... the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave." Ice Empress was now beginning to believe Lin Xuan. Although the well had been sealed, the chill pouring from within could not be faked.

"It was actually sealed. Then let's break it open." Lin Xuan grinned. Since his right hand was interlocked with Wang Qiu'er's, he extended his left hand toward the sealed well.

"Myriad Star Hand!"

Lin Xuan gave a low shout, then suddenly clenched his left hand toward the well!

In an instant, the surrounding scenery twisted violently. The environment rapidly transformed into a vast sea of stars.

Then, the stars around them began to whirl at high speed, instantly gathering into a giant stellar hand covered in dazzling points of light as it howled toward the wellhead.

"Boom!"

With a muffled explosion, Lin Xuan's Myriad Star Hand blasted the sealed ancient well open, leaving a palm-shaped hole dozens of zhang wide.

At the instant Lin Xuan blew apart the well, bone-chilling spring water surged up from its depths, churning wildly. As the wellhead completely collapsed, the scene within was finally revealed.

"Xue'er! It really is the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave! It really is!" Feeling the icy chill emanating from within the hole, Ice Empress was instantly overjoyed and excitedly jumped up. She knew this aura all too well—it was precisely the aura of the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Cave.

"Xue'er, Little Xuan, Qiu'er, let's go down now!" Ice Empress shouted excitedly at the three of them.

"Who is it? Who dares trespass into my Earth Dragon Sect!"

Just as Ice Empress finished speaking, a cold shout suddenly exploded from behind them.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the next instant, several sharp sounds of rushing wind approached from afar. Several figures shot over from different directions, surrounding Lin Xuan's group of four.

"Who are you?" Nan Shuishui stood at the front. She took a step forward as the Rouge Dragon martial soul instantly possessed her. Eight soul rings rose around her, and intense Soul Power surged from her body as she shouted with a frost-covered expression.
