Chapter 1462

• Ning Wen was a bit confused by Su Bai. He regarded the Bone Spirit Clan as an evil tribe and wouldn't join them easily, but now he had followed Su Bai into the Bone Spirit Clan and arrived at the side of the second elder, Bone Dust. Su Bai, however, seemed to take it all in stride, treating every place he went to with normalcy. His ultimate goal was to infiltrate the Bone Spirit Clan; only then could he eliminate them at the lowest cost. “Here's the dragon bone.”Ning Wen handed a ball of golden light to Su Bai, who accepted it without hesitation. “I'm leaving.” After saying those three words, Ning Wen flew away. Su Bai didn't try to stop him, merely shaking his head helplessly. People had their own paths, and one couldn't force them. “Swish!” At that moment, the Second Elder, Bone Dust, arrived beside Su Bai. “Where's Ning Wen?” “He's gone.” Su Bai spoke, and Bone Dust glanced at him. He didn't want to force Ning Wen to stay either; it was meaningless. He must have already handed over the golden dragon bone to Su Bai.However, he had no connection with the dragon bone; it was probably truly out of his reach. “Follow me.” Gu Chen led Su Bai to a council hall, where many powerful figures had already gathered. At the front stood an elderly man with a long-lasting aura, no weaker than the Second Elder Gu Chen. “Third Elder, Gu Yu.” Gu Chen introduced Su Bai, who nodded and said, “Su Lin.”This was his alias. The name Su Bai had already become renowned throughout the Tianqiong Star Domain. If he were to reveal his true name, even the Second Elder and Third Elder of the Bone Spirit Clan would personally intervene to capture him. “Let's get down to business.”Guchen spoke solemnly, “The First Elder secretly sent people to Tianxuan Mountain to obtain the Tianxuan Bone. If he manages to fuse this treasure with his own, even the two of us combined might not be his match. We must stop him; otherwise, our seats will be stripped from us once again.” “Seats?” Su Bai was puzzled.“The Bone Spirit Clan has seven elders, representing seven seats. However, these seats are not fixed. If one elder is powerful enough to cultivate a genius disciple who defeats their opponent, they can seize one of the seats. The one who seizes a seat can hold it for a year, meaning they gain access to the resources of that seat for an entire year.” “Such battles occur once a year, and the First Elder is expected to secure five seats this year.”“That's ruthless,” Su Bai sighed. One person securing five seats, plus their own seat, means they hold six seats. “This isn't a joke. In previous years, the disciples under the Grand Elder could secure four seats, but this year, securing five is not impossible for everyone, but the process is brutal.” This was why the Third Elder, Bone Jade, had come to find the Second Elder, Bone Dust. He didn't want his seat to be taken away.“He has already sent Zhu Yu to Tianxuan Mountain. Zhu Yu is a renowned genius of our Bone Spirit Clan, with strength that doesn't lag behind us old-timers. It was he who led the other strong ones to annihilate the Wind Spirit Clan. Across the entire Bone Spirit Clan, few can match him.” “I'll go!” At that moment, a young man stepped forward. “Though Zhu Yu is strong, I, Chen Yuan, may not be weaker than him!”Guchén sighed. “Chen Yuan, you should first retreat into seclusion to solidify your cultivation. This mission is not for you.” “Elder, do you not trust me?” As the strongest disciple under the Second Elder, Chen Yuan was certainly qualified to go. However, his opponent this time was too powerful; a single misstep could cost him his life. Guchén did not want him to take such a risk. Even if he went, he might not be able to defeat the opponent.
