Chapter 95 - Bone Ancestor

Chapter 95 - Bone Ancestor (Part One)

"28x28 Heaven and Earth Grand Array, huh?" Under the distant eaves, the Ninth Young Master's face immediately distorted as he stood up.

Like everyone else, the Ninth Young Master was shocked by the grand array before him. Everything that had happened in the Xiantian Endgame World was still exceptionally vivid in their memories. Wasn't Gu Hai just a Xiantian Stage cultivator?

"Ninth Young Master, can the 28x28 Heaven and Earth Grand Array be arranged using spirit stones? What in the freaking hell did Gu Hai learn from us?" one of his subordinates could not help but ask, dumbfounded.

"Since the 28x28 Heaven and Earth Grand Array has appeared, wouldn't that mean that Luo Tiange...?"

"Shut the hell up!" the Ninth Young Master rebuked him, a gloomy look plastered across his face.

The Ninth Young Master's subordinates didn't dare to so much as open their mouths.

In the distance, a pale Luo Tiange turned his head to look at the Ninth Young Master.

Having noticed the darkened face of the Ninth Young Master, Luo Tiange's countenance also changed as he once again strode forward.

The chains attached to his back separated and transformed into a huge net before growing much longer once again. Blazing flames also re-emerged from them.

"Fire Dragon Net, break it for me!" Luo Tiange shouted loudly.

The net of chains grew to an astonishing size quickly. The chains may have been cut, but they had grown longer once more. Spewing monstrous flames, the net of chains looked like a huge furnace falling from the sky as it rushed towards the grand array.

The Fire Dragon Net crashed into the grand array with an ear-deafening bang. Terrifying flames that were even hotter and bigger than before charged straight at the grand array.

"Hmph, did no one told you that this array is far stronger than before? Do you want to die!?" Gu Hai's cold voice was transmitted from the grand array.

"Xiang Yu is here! Fuck off!"

Another shout, once again, came from the array. But this time, a huge figure molded from clouds, wielding the Fang Tian Hua halberd, casually slashed it towards the Fire Dragon Net.

Where the Fang Tian Hua halberd appeared, a raging wind blade immediately followed, charging straight at the Fire Dragon Net.

Wherever the Fang Tian Hua halberd passed, everything was split in twain. The Fire Dragon Net was cut to pieces instantly.

"Ah~!" Luo Tiange's consciousness, which was wielding the magical tool, immediately shrieked in pain.

More importantly, the Fang Tian Hua halberd's wind blade streaked towards Luo Tiange in the blink of an eye, while Luo Tiange exerted all his strength to protect himself.

Luo Tiange immediately spewed out a mouthful of blood. A huge bloody gash, drawn from his head, over his face, and down to his chest and abdomen had appeared.

Luo Tiange crashed to the ground instantly. His entire body was a bloody mess. Although it was just external injuries, Luo Tiange's entire body was quivering. After all, he had nearly been split in two!

Spitting blood out again and again, Luo Tiange somehow picked himself up. A panic-stricken light was apparent in his eyes when he looked at the grand array. He no longer dared to act so brazenly.

Each and every person in the audience could not help but gasp in shock.

"What a terrifying 28x28 Heaven and Earth Grand Array!"

"The Eastern Seas Thief King can't even last a round with it?"

"Fire Dragon Lock, Fire Dragon Net, were all broken?"...

Everywhere, exclamations could be heard. Countless cultivators gulped in shock, once again feeling lucky that they hadn’t rushed into the grand array at the beginning.

Calm once again returned to the grand array. The outsiders were not able to see anything inside with the dark clouds veiling everything.

---

Inside the array...

Xiang Yu, who had been congealed from the clouds earlier, arrived at the entrance of that pit wielding the Fang Tian Hua halberd.

At the entrance of the pit, Meng Tai, with his entire face grimacing in anger, was staring up at Xiang Yu.

At this moment, Gu Hai was already standing atop Xiang Yu's head, coldly looking down at the the furious Meng Tai in the chasm.

"Gu Hai, you...you...you...!" Meng Tai cried out in anger.

"Throne Master Meng, do you remember what I said earlier? That other Meng Tai was killed by me, all because he plotted against me. Outside, the alliance to attack my array was all organized by you, but instead of trapping me, you have been plotted against in return! Hmph!" Gu Hai retorted coldly.

"Hahaha!" A bright and candid laugh immediately came from the chasm.

The barrier had been dispelled by Meng Tai and already disappeared, revealing the volcanic crater. Chained above the volcanic crater was the blind old man who seemed to be awake at this moment.

"My dear apprentice Meng Tai, there are times when you have also fallen into a plot? What a terrific scheme, hahaha!" The old man broke into laughter once again.

Hearing this ridicule, a hideous look showed up on Meng Tai's face as he said, "Old man, if you had not been impenetrably thick-headed back then, why would you be trapped here? It's your fault, and your fault only!"

The blind old man, Wei Yang, on the other hand, coldly smiled. "Trapped? My dear apprentice, if I had not been dumb, Feng Ling, Li Wei, and Yue Yao would long ago have been killed by you. How did I receive such a vicious ingrate like you? You want to dispel this dragon vein's seal, right? You want to threaten me with Feng Ling and Li Wei, am I right? It's useless. I know you pretty well. If I told you everything, not one of them would remain alive. As long as I don't tell you anything, as long as I remain dumb, only then can they live, you little bastard!"

Meng Tai's face distorted madly. Raising his head, he looked at Gu Hai before lowering his head to stare at Wei Yang below.

"Hmph, old man, you thick-headed bastard, I will finish you then!" Meng Tai drove his palm at Wei Yang. Apparently, he wanted to kill Wei Yang.

In response, Gu Hai bade Xiang Yu immediately chop his Fang Tian Hua halberd down.

The Fang Tian Hua halberd whizzed straight towards Meng Tai.

"Huh?" Meng Tai's face changed for the worse as he was forced to turn around and counter-attack with his palm.

Meng Tai was promptly sent flying in the subsequent clash.

"Gu Hai, do you truly want to become my enemy?" Meng Tai shouted out, his eyes wide.

"Throne Master Meng, haven't I already said the Golden Tong is mine? Please get the fuck out of here immediately! Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!" Gu Hai rebuked him, staring back at Meng Tai.

The Fang Tian Hua halberd was pointed once more at Meng Tai!

Chapter 95 - Bone Ancestor (Part Two)

Meng Tai's face underwent a frantic change. At present, he still had not completely recovered from his injuries. He was simply not an opponent of General Xiang Yu.

"Good, good, good! Gu Hai, you sure are ruthless! But, if I can't get it, you too can forget about it, you aren't good enough! Hahaha!" Meng Tai broke into laughter as he rose into the sky.

Meng Tai made his way to the edge of the array and left quickly.

"My Lord, why did you let Meng Tai go?" the nearby Gao Xianzhi asked, anxious.

Gu Hai, on the other hand, gave a wry smile, shaking his head. He didn't explain.

As good as the 28x28 Heaven and Earth Grand Array was, its consumption was equally high. In the Xiantian Endgame World, he could summon the mighty army just because he could mobilize the heaven and earth rules. But now, all he had was just the support of spirit stones.

With the amount of spirit stones at hand, he could only congeal Xiang Yu, that's all. Even summoning Xiang Yu's horse wasn't possible, let alone thousands upon thousands of horses and soldiers.

The consumption of spirit stones by the 28x28 Heaven and Earth Grand Array was terrifying. All the spirit stones would be completely consumed after a while, and as such, Gu Hai was unable to stop Meng Tai.

Shangguan Hen and the others quickly cut the chains off of Wei Yang, releasing him right away.

Gu Hai dispelled Xiang Yu temporarily. After all, a terrifying amount of energy would be consumed in order to sustain the cloud general.

"Your humble servant Gu Hai greets Mister Wei!" Gu Hai greeted Wei Yang respectfully.

Wei Yang's eyes had already lost their light. Having been saved by Gu Hai, Wei Yang thanked Gu Hai, bending his body slightly. "Thank you very much, Mister Gu! I wonder if my apprentices are still alive?"

A frown momentarily appeared on Gu Hai's brow. However, Gu Hai didn't hide anything at all, he briefly laid down everything he knew.

"What? Meng Tai is married to Feng Ling? He killed Yue Yao!? Li Wei is in a vegetative state!?" Wei Yang's brow was lined with furrows after listening to Gu Hai.

Gu Hai nodded his affirmation. "That's right. However, I have placed a mask on Li Wei, I had no choice...!"

"Mister Gu, you don't need to explain. I may be blind, but my heart isn't. Li Wei has fallen into a vegetative state because he doesn't wish to live. Idiot! I even wrote that letter to Li Wei, yet he let Meng Tai read it!" Wei Yang's face turned ugly as he sighed.

Gu Hai turned his head, looking down at the chasm. He now had a clearer picture. Below them was a pool of lava, and floating in this lava was a golden dragon’s tail. Above this dragon tail was a huge turtle shell, which seemed to have a weiqi board atop it.

It was this very shell that was sealing the dragon tail below.

However, things weren't finished at that. There was something akin to a bone on the dragon tail as well, exuding a slight blackish qi. The bone was just like a slender saber, albeit made out of bone. The bone saber was inserted into the dragon tail, like a nail stuck into it, rendering it unable to move.

"Mister Wei, I wonder if you can clear up my confusion about the dragon tail, bone saber, and the turtle shell with the weiqi board?" Gu Hai asked, frowning.

"Bone saber? What bone saber?" Wei Yang was slightly taken aback.

"Huh?" Gu Hai looked at Wei Yang, skeptical.

Wei Yang was blind. Gu Hai stared at Wei Yang for a while, dignified and serene. Only after a good long minute of silence did the mood return to normal.

"Bone saber? Impossible! There was nothing before! Maybe… maybe it's from ten years ago!?" Wei Yang’s expression immediately changed after using the time to think.

"What happened ten years ago?"

"Ten years ago, I was imprisoned because of the earth dragon vein, and it was incredibly hot there. However, suddenly there was a moment when a chill wind suddenly came blowing in, it was extremely cold! The cold gale appeared out of thin air as if the gates of Hell had been opened, and through those very gates of hell came a voice!" Wei Yang recalled.

"A voice?" Gu Hai asked, confused.

"Yes! I thought it was an illusion, but it didn't appear to be illusion at all. That voice said, 'Now that the Bone Ancestor has returned to dust, this world is mine! Hahaha!' Then, everything returned to as it was before. The cold wind disappeared as if it had never existed," Wei Yang explained.

An uncertain look was immediately plastered over Gu Hai's face as he stared at Wei Yang for a good long while, as if determining whether Wei Yang was stating the truth or not.

"The turtle shell below is a seal. From generation to generation, my Golden Tong has been responsible for guarding this seal, left by the Grandmaster in the past!" Wei Yang explained.

"Oh? Grandmaster? Was it Elder Guanqi?" Gu Hai asked, puzzled.

"Yes! In accordance with the teachings of our ancestors, the disciples of my Golden Tong can't steal what is entrusted to our care. We have to wait for the predestined friend to appear!" Wei Yang explained to Gu Hai.

"Predestined friend? Who is this so called predestined friend?" Gao Xianzhi asked, perplexed.

"I don't know, and Grandmaster also didn't explain!" Wei Yang shook his head.

"Can the weiqi game on the shell be solved?" Gu Hai asked, curious.

"I don't know. However, I can't solve it, and Meng Tai can't open it, either. He believed I could solve it, and wanted to force me to hand over the way to dispel the seal. I could only pretend to not tell him, and that way I was able to survive until now!" Wei Yang answered, explaining what he knew.

"Thank you, Mister Wei!" Gu Hai said solemnly.

"You have saved Li Wei, you don't need to thank me! I wonder if I can see my apprentice Li Wei?" Wei Yang asked, a wry smile on his face.

Gazing at Wei Yang, Gu Hai remained silent for a while before nodding. "Chen Tianshan, take Mister Wei to Li Wei!"

"Yes, my Lord!" Chen Tianshan acknowledged respectfully.

After sending off Wei Yang, Gu Hai and his team studied the chasm once again.
