As Spirit Hall and its opponents prepared for conflict, Zhao Su investigated the remaining divine dragons and learned that the Heaven Dou Imperial Family might possess a Nine-Winged Yinglong Remnant Bone. After confirming Yu Luomian’s mutation was not a divine dragon, Zhao Su set out to find the dragons and advance his cultivation, with Ning Rongrong joining him.
