Chapter 736 - 586: Return to the East Continent
“Seven-pointed crystal?”
Looking at the dazzling golden seven-pointed star in mid-air, everyone was shocked.
“What, it’s actually a seven-pointed crystal!”
“So, there are still seven-pointed star beasts in this Legacy Land!”
“…”
“Friend Su… actually managed to obtain a seven-pointed crystal!”
Wang Hao was also extremely shocked, his gaze falling on the composed Su Yuan and the expressionless Luo Bingtong.
“No wonder. It seems the last outburst of that Black Gold Giant Dragon might have been because Friend Su and his group went there!”
The surprise on the Sea Dragon King’s face gradually receded, replaced by a look of deep satisfaction.
“As expected of my brother’s daughter, excellent!”
It wasn’t just Luo Bingtong; a hexagonal star imprint also rose from the soft bracelet on Su Yuan’s wrist.
Beside him, Qiongqi widened his eyes at Su Yuan. “Kid, wasn’t it a hexagonal crystal? Where did the seven-pointed crystal come from?”
Su Yuan laughed heartily. “We did get a hexagonal crystal!”
“This kid…”
Qiongqi quickly quelled his surprise, realizing that this kid had been teasing him earlier.
In the past, if any junior dared to mess around in front of him, he would have slapped them already.
However, at this moment, besides being surprised, Qiongqi was quite pleased. This way, he had also over-fulfilled Lord Ming King’s task!
Qiongqi knew that the highest grade in the Sea Emperor’s Legacy Land was a seven-pointed Sea Emperor Crystal. He also knew it came from the legendary grade seven-pointed star beast, which no one had ever brought out in countless years.
Even Luo Bingtong, without reaching half-step Bright Moon level herself, would have found it extremely difficult to defeat the seven-pointed star beast alone.
So for Luo Bingtong to get the seven-pointed crystal, this kid in front must have played a very critical role.
Qiongqi looked at Su Yuan seriously and said, “Kid, you did very well this time.”
Su Yuan smiled. “Senior, you saved me once before. Naturally, I had to put in the effort.”
Qiongqi nodded, saying nothing more.
At this time, the Sea Dragon King approached them.
“Good! A seven-pointed crystal, excellent!” The Sea Dragon King looked at Luo Bingtong with great satisfaction, then said, “Bingtong, feel free to visit the Dragon Palace anytime. Consider this place as your home.”
Su Yuan’s heart stirred slightly, silently noting that Luo Bingtong’s identity was indeed not simple.
Rarely, Luo Bingtong slightly nodded. Compared to others in the Dragon Palace, she seemed closer to the Sea Dragon King before her.
At that moment, the Great Elder of the Dragon Palace, who was in the Three Suns Realm, flew over and said in a low voice, “Sea Dragon King, Ao Qinghua of the Azure Dragon Bloodline hasn’t come out…”
Hearing this, Su Yuan couldn’t help but be taken aback.
“Oh?” The Sea Dragon King raised his eyebrows, scanning the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect and Northern Bach Family members not far away. “Ao Qinghua was contracted to whom?”
“To someone from the Qiguang Bach Family.”
Since he was contracted to someone from the Bach family, the one who acted must naturally be from the other side…
“Daring to harm my people on my Dragon Palace’s territory?” The Sea Dragon King’s eyes narrowed, a hint of coldness rising in his gaze. “Directly confirm with True Dragon Blood to see if it was an accident or someone else’s doing!”
To the Sea Dragon King, although Ao Qinghua was lustful and arrogant with a flawed character, he was still the son of the Dragon Palace’s Elder Zhuoyang Ao Tian and a direct descendant of the Azure Dragon Lineage!
Now that he was killed in the Sea Emperor’s Legacy Land, it couldn’t be easily dismissed…
“It’s… me.”
At that moment, Luo Bingtong suddenly spoke.
“Hmm?” The Sea Dragon King was taken aback, turning to look at Luo Bingtong. “Bingtong, what did you say?”
“He tried to… take my crystal, so I… killed him,” Luo Bingtong said again.
“This…?” The Great Elder of the Dragon Palace was dumbfounded, looking between Luo Bingtong and the Sea Dragon King.
The Sea Dragon King was also stunned, his aura sinking, and a strong anger spreading in his eyes!
“Useless thing, well done!” The Sea Dragon King said coldly.
Su Yuan: “???”
Qiongqi: “???”
Dragon Palace Great Elder: “???”
“That Ao Qinghua, he was getting more and more out of line!
Arrogant and domineering as usual, he actually dared to snatch your seven-pointed crystal?
Useless in accomplishing things and excelling only in causing trouble, he deserved to die!”
The Sea Dragon King’s voice grew colder. Nonetheless, as a King Level expert, he quickly suppressed his anger.
Looking at Luo Bingtong, the coldness in the Sea Dragon King’s eyes disappeared. He patted Luo Bingtong on the shoulder, full of doting affection:
“Bingtong, rest assured, with me here, you won’t suffer even a bit in this Dragon Palace! Otherwise, I would not be fulfilling my duty to my brother!”
“Hmm…” Luo Bingtong nodded.
Uncle? Brother?
Su Yuan pondered… Does this mean Luo Bingtong’s father was the Sea Dragon King’s brother?
If so, Luo Bingtong’s father should also be an expert of the Dragon Palace, yet he hadn’t been seen so far.
Could he no longer be in the Dragon Palace?
Or perhaps… could he have fallen?
…
Seemingly because Luo Bingtong was leaving, the Sea Dragon King spoke to her a bit more and instructed Qiongqi to take good care of Luo Bingtong before leaving first.
Qiongqi glanced at a middle-aged man in the distance and asked Su Yuan, “Are you going back to Great Flame?”
Su Yuan nodded.
Qiongqi said, “Then come with me.”
Luo Bingtong’s eyes brightened.
Su Yuan subtly glanced at the middle-aged man in the distance, understanding Qiongqi’s intentions. He immediately cupped his hands and said, “Thank you very much, Senior Qiongqi!”
Qiongqi said, “We will depart today. The Dragon Palace has already made arrangements. Rest for a while, and we will set off shortly.”
“Okay!”
Around them, the contract imprints on the foreheads of many members of the Dragon Clan dispersed, breaking their contracts with their Beast Tamers.
Qiongqi also turned to look at Su Yuan and Luo Bingtong. “Dispel the contracts.”
“It’s… already dispelled!” Before Su Yuan could say anything, Luo Bingtong suddenly spoke up.
Luo Bingtong glanced at Su Yuan, her blue eyes blinking. At the same time, Su Yuan felt a strong sense of resistance and tension emanating from her.
This girl actually lied? That’s not a good habit…
But… this contract isn’t bad~
Su Yuan smiled secretly and said, “Senior Qiongqi, we dispelled our contracts when we came out of the Secret Realm entrance.”
“Alright.” Qiongqi wasn’t suspicious, turning to Luo Bingtong. “Miss Bingtong, let’s go.”
“Hmm.” Luo Bingtong nodded, and said to Su Yuan, “See you later…!”
“Okay~”
Watching Luo Bingtong leave with Qiongqi, Su Yuan didn’t stay there either, heading directly to his residence.
Among the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect members, Zhuang Tian watched the scene thoughtfully.
“This little guy, rather than going to explore the East Continent, actually seems to have a significant connection with it…”
…
In his room, Su Yuan was resting when the door was knocked on after a while.
Su Yuan didn’t have to guess who it was. He smiled and said, “Come in, Friend Wang.”
The door opened, and Wang Hao entered.
“Friend Su, you truly surprised everyone today!” Wang Hao sat beside him. “Now all my junior brothers and sisters are very curious about you…”
Su Yuan smiled. “I think it’s not just your junior brothers and sisters; even the Spirit Venerable of your sect is slightly interested, right?”
“Uh… haha.”
Wang Hao laughed awkwardly and nodded.
“Yes, Spirit Venerable Zhuang asked me just now. Given your and the Dragon Girl’s outstanding performances, it’s hard not to attract attention…
But I just said that due to certain reasons, I needed to assist you in heading to the East Continent. Fortunately, the Spirit Venerable didn’t inquire further.”
Su Yuan nodded. It seemed that the Spirit Venerable had no intention of probing too deeply, which was best.
If the people of the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect knew he was a friend of Mo Tian Palace’s Qin Lianyun, while it might not pose a big problem, it could still cause some trouble for his Demon Soul Avatar.
After all, being “an outsider from another continent” was quite a sensitive identity.
Wang Hao looked at Su Yuan, actually wanting to ask if Su Yuan was from the East Continent.
But asking would only put him in a difficult position, so it was best not to ask.
Su Yuan asked, “When does the Beast Taming Heavenly Sect plan to leave?”
“The Spirit Venerable’s discussions with the Dragon Palace seem unfinished, so it might take a few days… What about you, Friend Su?”
Su Yuan smiled. “I think I’ll be leaving today.”
“So soon!” Wang Hao was surprised.
“Yes.” Su Yuan smiled, “May we meet again in the future.”
Wang Hao shook his head. “Being in different continents, it will be hard to say when that might be…”
Su Yuan said no more, but he had a feeling that his connection with the Southern Continent wouldn’t last long…
After chatting for a while longer, Wang Hao left.
Su Yuan pondered alone.
This visit to the Dragon Palace, meeting Bing Tong, accidentally entering the Sea Emperor’s Legacy Land.
Now, Ruan Ruan devoured a large amount of Sea Emperor Crystals, her Power of Soul had reached Star Envoy Level. Additionally, Mo Fei also obtained a hexagonal Sea Emperor Crystal and had started refining it in the Qingming Realm.
As for Bing Tong, she had obtained the seven-pointed crystal!
“The seven-pointed crystal might greatly enhance Bing Tong’s power of time!”
Su Yuan nodded slightly. This trip to the Dragon Palace hadn’t been without gains, with Ruan Ruan, Bing Tong, and Mo Fei all having made progress!
Half a day later, Su Yuan suddenly felt something, taking out his Communication Talisman. It was time to depart.
This time, it was the Dragon Palace’s Great Elder escorting them. Su Yuan, along with Qiongqi and Luo Bingtong, boarded the Dragon Chariot arranged by the Sea Dragon King, heading quickly to the East Continent…
Time passed, and many days went by.
One day, on the west coast of the East Continent, a golden Dragon Chariot emerged from the water, stopping on the sea’s surface.
A black wind flew up and landed on the shore, revealing three figures.
It was Su Yuan, Luo Bingtong, and Qiongqi.
“We are finally back…” Su Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief.
Though the place looked unfamiliar, it was the familiar East Continent, the familiar air.
After wandering in the Southern Continent for so long, he was finally back.
During the time on the sea, Luo Bingtong had changed significantly.
Her icy blue eyes had grown deeper and colder, occasionally flickering with tiny golden runes, looking mystical.
During these days, Luo Bingtong had completely assimilated the seven-pointed Sea Emperor Crystal.
The Sea Emperor Crystal had significantly enhanced her Ice Power and Power of Time, especially the latter!
Initially, her freezing ability had served as a bridge to understand the “Time Stop” power.
Now, with the potential development of the seven-pointed crystal, she had taken a step towards “Time Acceleration” on top of “Time Stop”!
“Let’s keep moving!”
Raising his hand, Qiongqi enveloped them in a gray-black wind, carrying them swiftly eastward…
