Chapter 1496 - Testing the Rank!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chu Liuyue was speechless.?It seems like Rong Xiu is right—some things really are inherited.?

Chu Liuyue felt that she was quite a troublemaker, but, compared to her ancestor, she really paled in comparison and wasn’t worth a mention!?Using a great phoenix dragon’s bones to refine a weapon… What exactly was Ancestor thinking?!?

As if he felt rather embarrassed by Chu Liuyue looking at him, Shangguan Jing hurriedly waved his hands and explained, “Actually, I didn’t do it on purpose! Back then, I just felt that the bones weren’t bad and that it might be some legendary fiend’s. However, I didn’t expect it to belong to a great phoenix dragon! If I knew, I wouldn’t have done it either, right?”

After all, the great phoenix dragon clan was one of the two ancient legendary fiend clans. No matter how arrogant he was, he wouldn’t seek death like that, right!?

Chu Liuyue glanced at him deeply.

Shangguan Jing averted his gaze guiltily. “Actually, i-it’s the… skeleton that you obtained in the Tianling God Realm back then…”

Chu Liuyue’s eyelids twitched. “You’d rather fight with them to your death and not return it?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

It was another person’s corpse after all. This didn’t seem very appropriate… especially now that she had agreements with Tuan Zi and Zi Chen. She now had some form of understanding of this.

These legendary fiends thought very highly of their own corpses, and they were never allowed to be left outside. What her ancestor did…

“No! Actually, when I found out that it was a great phoenix dragon’s corpse, I planned to return it. However, they didn’t listen and wanted to take my life no matter what. What could I do?”

I could only fight with it!?

Chu Liuyue felt her head ache.

“Actually, I didn’t have a choice either. After much thinking, I decided to split my soul into three. One portion was hidden in the jade pendant, while another was in the God Realm that I silently sent back to Tianling. The last portion was left in my holy body to fight.”

He also didn’t know if he could survive back then, so he chose such a method. That was also the reason why his soul disappeared and why his God Realm was incomplete.

Chu Liuyue sighed deeply. “Ancestor, you’re… really extraordinarily lucky.”

Facing such a situation, he could actually live. The most important thing was that he could gather his soul parts, awaken his Holy Body, and live again!

This was really heaven-defying!

Shangguan Jing’s expression was emotional. “In fact, it’s all because of you. If you didn’t enter the Tianling God Realm, bring my soul to the God Residence Realm, and also find the jade pendant before arriving in the Flood-Desert Northern Region… Even if I had slept for another 10,000 years, there would be no meaning.”

Their bloodlines were connected. He could finally awaken because of the strength of this blood-related relative.

Back then, he had no other choice and could only risk himself and bet with his life! Luckily, after a thousand years, he won the bet!

“I’ve always been lucky.” Chu Liuyue smiled.?No matter what, it’s great that Ancestor can live again.?

Shangguan Jing smiled and nodded. “Our Yue’er is naturally the best! Don’t worry. With me around, nobody will dare to bully you in the future!”

Chu Liuyue nodded seriously and felt appeased and secure.

“Oh right.” Chu Liuyue suddenly thought of something, and hesitation surfaced on her face. “Ancestor, after you fought with the great phoenix dragon back then, is your grudge considered settled? Now that you’ve woken up, do they… know?”

Shangguan Jing’s smile suddenly stiffened.

Chu Liuyue’s heart sank, and she instantly felt uneasy.

“Hehe.” Shangguan Jing smiled curtly. “Although those nine dragons are dead, the dragon clan has an extremely strong sensitivity toward this. Now that I’m awake, the great phoenix dragon clan… should know about it, right? Oh right, you’ve hidden the corpse, and nobody discovered it, right?”

Chu Liuyue’s eyelids twitched. “P-possibly…”

…

Tens of thousands of kilometers away.

Godly Dragon Realm.

Above the depths of the blue ocean, a gigantic, semi-circular golden barrier silently floated and had shocking suppression.

Inside the barrier, there were many intricate islands.

The islands had many mountains and lush greenery. Sometimes, dragons would soar past the mid-air. As the sunlight shone down, their scales flickered.

Suddenly, a dragon roar came from the centermost island!

Roar!

The noise was earth-shattering, and the aura was tremendous!

At that moment, the groups of dragons felt respectful and fearful! They all looked down respectively!

Then, a purplish-golden light suddenly flew out from the island—it rushed to the skies!

“It’s been a thousand years, and he’s actually still alive!”

This time, we definitely can’t let him off again!?

…

Ling Xiao Academy, Dong Huang Clock Tower.

“…Just this?” asked Elder Bo Yan with knitted brows.

Rong Xiu nodded and glanced at Mu Hongyu.

Mu Hongyu immediately said, “Nothing. That’s all I know.”

The room sank into silence again.

Elder Bo Yan thought for a moment before saying, “Hongyu, there’s nothing for you to do here. Go back and rest first.”

Mu Hongyu knew that they had more to discuss, so she sensibly acknowledged it immediately and turned around to leave.

After she left, the atmosphere in the room became even weirder.

The few of them looked at Rong Xiu.

“So this means that Shangguan Yue and Yue’er girlie aren’t related to each other?” Elder Hua Feng stared at Rong Xiu as if he wanted to see through him. “But how do you explain her executing the heavenly scroll Xuan formation that the first director left behind?”

Rong Xiu looked down slightly. “I taught her that.”

“Is it really such a coincidence?” Elder Hua Feng was filled with doubts.

Inside the room, it was silent again.

Elder Wan Zheng suddenly said, “Since this is so, I have a method. Let Shangguan Yue enter the Qing Yun Ranking again—all four boards this time!”
