263 Irascible Zou Shuang, Controlling the Dragon Corpse

“Reihom?”

Qin Huai looked at the familiar face and felt a strange sense of familiarity. He had met an old friend in a foreign land.

“Qin Huai.”

Reihom looked coldly at his old friend. When he saw Qin Huai sitting in the middle of the crowd with the Sect Master’s token hanging from his waist, his emotions became complicated. “Looks like I still have a long way to go before I reach you.”

The sect master of the Twin Extreme sect laughed, “It’s this kid. He’s like a hothead who insisted that I come to help here.”

Beside him, Gao Haochu, the senior brother of the Twin Extreme sect, looked depressed. He just stared quietly at Reihom, thinking about something.

“Thank you so much! Come! Let me toast you!” Li Zewu stood up and drank a cup of wine with Reihom.

“Pingnan City really produces talents. One after another, our sect master appeared, and then there’s Reihom… Now, he’s in charge of Lingjiang county alone.”

“I remember there were people in the city who once called the two of them the Twin Heroes of Pingnan. Now, it seems that they live up to their names.”

Everyone started drinking to celebrate this short victory.

After three rounds of wine, Qin Huai and Li Zeren stood up and walked out of the tent.

“In the afternoon, we caught a few traitors of the Zhang family. They were secretly communicating with Zhang Can of the Sacred Heart sect.”

Li Zeren used his strength to disperse the wine.

“It was those people who spread the news that something happened in the Nine Dragons sect.”

Qin Huai frowned slightly. “Isn’t that Zhang Can a traitor of the Zhang family? A stain on our reputation… Why are there still people from the Zhang family close to him?”

“He’s Zhang Wu’s blood relative, similar to my relationship with Zetao. Furthermore, he used to have a high status and was a good person. He had a close relationship with many people in the Zhang family.

“There are many suspicious points about forcing him to jump off the cliff back then. It’s very likely that the Zhang family deliberately let him off,” Li Zeren explained.

Qin Huai’s heart skipped a beat. “Does Zhang Can know about the dragon bone?”

Li Zeren was stunned and a little hesitant. “I’m not sure… but…”

He finally smiled bitterly. “He should know…”

“No wonder. No wonder the Sacred Heart sect suddenly launched an all-out attack on our Nine Dragons sect.” Qin Huai was enlightened.

He had finally found the source of the problem. It seemed like the Sacred Heart sect had their eyes on the dragon bone.

“They didn’t make a sound. They definitely want to keep it for themselves. Or take all the credit.” Qin Huai’s thoughts raced. He had to find a way to get rid of September Hook’s Sacred Heart sect and that Zhang Can.

…

Ten days passed.

Instead of waiting for Zou Shuang to set off for the second time, Qin Huai took the initiative to attack and used the might of the dragon king to conquer the territory of the Sacred Heart Sect.

Once Zou Shuang and the others chased after him, he ran.

Since the villages were spread out over a wide area, Qin Huai could only kill three to four hundred Sacred Heart believers at a time. However, every little bit counts.

Zou Shuang had also used traps to lure Qin Huai to death. However, the latter always cleared the way with the poisonous fog and could even see the experience balls. Therefore, this method was ineffective against Qin Huai.

Every time, he would cautiously wander around the edges of the traps and pretend to hesitate. Meanwhile, Zou Shuang and his followers would remain calm and allow their subordinates to die without making a sound. Then, when the poison took effect, Qin Huai would collect the experience balls and run away.

After two or three rounds of this, Zou Shuang gave up in exasperation and withdrew the Sacred Heart sect’s forces back into September Hook.

The place was like a heavily guarded turtle shell, making it difficult for Qin Huai to find an opening to enter as bone pattern realm experts guarded every direction.

And so, both sides reached a stalemate.

Qin Huai didn’t dare to force his way in as the black sticky liquid he saw that day had left him with a lingering fear. That thing could be an indescribable horror, and if they charged into the center, they might anger creatures beyond their imagination.

…

In the secret chamber of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, Qin Huai sat cross-legged behind the crowd, silently waiting for the experience orbs to drop.

He picked them up one by one as the nine dragons true qi technique had already reached 82%. His white dragon force skyrocketed, and with the experience of collecting dragon corpses, his white dragon force broke through the 500% threshold and reached 503%.

“I’ve already broken through the limit of force at the fifth level?” Qin Huai muttered to himself.

He slowly activated the white dragon force in his body, feeling his ribs burning hot. All the bones in his body seemed to be trembling, letting out a low sound like a dragon’s roar.

Suddenly, Qin Huai’s heart throbbed as if he had sensed something. He slowly raised his head and looked at the huge dragon corpse, and almost at the same time, Li Zeren and the others also woke up.

“Sect Master, did you sense something just now?” Li Zeren’s eyes flashed with fear.

“Big brother, did you feel it too?” Li Zewu’s voice was also trembling.

“Don’t worry, it might be your imagination,” Qin Huai consoled them, his expression calm and unperturbed. “Perhaps it is because I have been training in the secret chamber for the entire day today… We’ve been here for too long, so we might have been affected by the dragon corpse. Although this dragon has been dead for countless years, it still possesses unimaginable power.”

Li Zeren and the others stood up and rubbed their eyes. Then, they used the nine dragons true qi technique to pat the dust off their bodies.

“Sect Master, we’ll take our leave first! Brother-in-law, you should rest early too.”

Li Buhu and the others shook their heads, looking like they were about to flee.

Qin Huai turned a deaf ear to everyone’s exhortations as he stared at the gigantic dragon bone before him. Only he knew that the strange movement just now was not an illusion of Li Zeren and the others.

Qin Huai lowered his head and looked at his hands. “Is this a qualitative change after surpassing the fifth-level bone pattern realm?” he muttered.

It was just like when he had broken through the second refinement back then. However, this time, it seemed to be even more terrifying.

“No, it should be the constantly growing dragon king. It caused a mutation.”

Qin Huai peered into the dragon king’s dantian. His body had already doubled in size. Although it was still very small compared to the white dragon, this progress was already quite shocking.

Qin Huai’s heart stirred, and his eyes gradually blossomed with a dazzling light. He controlled the dragon king’s aura and gradually approached the huge dragon bone that was a hundred meters long.

As time passed, a formless wind stirred in the secret chamber, and suddenly, a rumble was heard as the dragon corpse’s head slowly floated off the ground.
