Chapter 595: Chapter 591: Traitor Chapter 595: Chapter 591: Traitor “What’s going on? Was the power within the rod completely consud with that last strike?” Shen Luo wondered to himself, silently using his refining technique to sense the circumstances within the rod, but still, he could not detect that overwhelming power.
Ao Hong, who was next to him, cast a glance at the Sea Suppressing Iron Rod, his eyes flickering subtly.
Just as Shen Luo noticed Ao Hong’s gaze and was about to explain, Ao Hong looked away, heading towards the collapsed mountain wall.
Seeing this, Shen Luo changed his mind and followed.
Ao Hong landed in front of a pile of collapsed rocks, sweeping his sleeve.
A golden light swept across the rocks, revealing a pile of indistinguishable flesh and skeletal remains underneath. It was the remains of the Rain Master.
“Although this Rain Master is a demon, his appearance seems to be that of a mber of the Dragon Clan.” Shen Luo looked at a relatively intact dragon claw and said thoughtfully.
“Yes, as I know, this Rain Master was from the ancient Mo Dragon Clan. Technically, there is so blood relation with our East Sea Dragon Clan. Unfortunately, he chose to serve under Demon Emperor Chiyou back then, and now he has ended up like this.” Ao Hong sighed as he spoke.
After saying this, he opened his mouth and spat out golden fla, which landed on the Rain Master’s remains and ignited fiercely.
“I wish your soul peace with my Dragon Fla. In your next life, may you never stray into the Demonic Path.” Ao Hong murmured.
Shen Luo, standing beside him, felt a touch of regret when he saw this.
This Rain Master had a profound cultivation level, probably reaching the realm of Taiyi True Immortal. His dragon blood and bones were extrely valuable, such that selling them would undoubtedly bring great wealth.
However, he also knew that the Dragon Clan deeply detested human cultivators trading dragon blood and bones. After the demise of a clan mber, they would incinerate them with dragon flas to disperse them between Heaven and Earth, avoiding any disgrace to their remains.
Being in the East Sea Dragon Palace, Shen Luo naturally wouldn’t do sothing that would provoke public outrage.
The golden dragon fla that Ao Hong spat out soon reduced the Rain Master’s body to ashes. The smoke and dust scattered with the wind, leaving only a piece of crystal-clear bone behind.
“Huh, what’s this?” Shen Luo raised an eyebrow. With a wave of his hand, he sucked the bone into his hand. His divine sense probed the bone, and it was instantly drawn in.
Turns out, this piece of skeletal remains was a storage magical artifact with a large space inside. However, there was not much stored inside, just a few books, jade slips, and similar items.
There were no materials, elixirs, or magical treasures.
With a little thought, Shen Luo understood.
The Rain Master was imprisoned here in this dungeon, unable to absorb the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi to replenish his vitality. Those materials and magical treasures containing spiritual power must have been absorbed by him, leaving only these items devoid of spiritual power.
His divine sense swept over the covers of these books, which were all about artifact refining.
Shen Luo didn’t look more, quickly withdrew his divine sense, and inford Ao Hong about the situation with the bone remains.
“Since this piece of skeletal remains is the Rain Master’s storage magical artifact, it naturally belongs to Brother Shen.” Ao Hong stated.
Shen Luo didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted it.
“Ninth Prince, Brother Shen!” A shout ca, and two figures flew over. It was Qing Chi and Ao Zhong.
Ao Zhong, carrying Ao Xin’s corpse in his arms, had the two halves of the broken body now joined together.
Qing Chi looked at Shen Luo, a look of surprise on his face, but did not say much.
Ao Zhong’s chest injury had been treated, and it seed he was no longer in serious condition. However, his face was still pale, and his mood was very depressed. It seed that he had not yet recovered from the shock of Ao Xin’s downfall.
“Second brother, how’s your injury?” Ao Hong asked Ao Zhong.
Ao Zhong glanced at the collapsed mountain wall, then looked at Ao Hong and Shen Luo. A complex expression crossed his face and he shook his head silently.
“That’s good. Such a big thing has happened in the Dragon Abyss, we must report to Father Emperor imdiately. Let’s go back to Dragon Palace now.” Ao Hong said.
Ao Zhong didn’t say anything, Qing Chi nodded in agreent.
“Wait a mont.” A voice sounded, it was Shen Luo who spoke.
“Brother Shen, what else do you need?” Ao Hong asked.
“Just now, the situation was urgent, and I had to borrow the Dragon Palace Treasure. Now that the great battle is over, I should return it. But I don’t know how to put it back to its original place, so I would like to ask you two for guidance.” Shen Luo lifted the Sea-Anchoring Iron Rod in his hand and said to Ao Hong and Ao Zhong.
Ao Zhong didn’t respond to Shen Luo’s question, he just looked at Ao Xin held in his arms.
“This Sea-Anchoring Iron Rod was sealed here by the Father Emperor himself, and we don’t know how to use the spell to put it back. After we return to the Dragon Palace, let’s ask Father Emperor.” Ao Hong shook his head and said.
“Brother Ao Hong, you just said that the Dragon Abyss can withstand the Black Nightmare Whirlwind because of this Sea-Anchoring Iron Rod. If we take it out of the Dragon Abyss, won’t the Black Nightmare Whirlwind wreak havoc without any restrictions?” Shen Luo looked at the rolling black wind in the abyss and said with a slightly frowned brow.
“No problem. Although the prohibition of Dragon Abyss is based on this Sea-Anchoring Iron Rod, it doesn’t rely solely on this rod. The prohibition here can withstand the Black Nightmare Whirlwind for so ti, and it won’t matter if we remove the Sea-Anchoring Iron Rod for a while. Such a thing has happened before.” Ao Hong laughed.
Upon hearing this, Shen Luo nodded and didn’t say anything further.
The group imdiately ascended upwards and quickly arrived at the entrance of Dragon Abyss. They left through a teleportation formation and arrived in the Bronze Great Hall outside.
The heavy gate of Dragon Abyss slowly opened, and Shen Luo and others, tired and weary, walked out from the inside.
Yuan Yi, leading people of Dragon Palace, had been waiting outside the gate.
Yuan Yi looked at the woman’s corpse held horizontally in Ao Zhong’s arms and his eyebrows moved slightly, a hint of sadness flashed in his eyes.
Seeing this, everyone behind him didn’t dare to speak.
Everyone silently returned to Shuixiu Palace.
In the great hall, Dragon King Ao Guang sat high on the throne. He seed to have recovered quite a bit spiritually, with so luster in his eyes, but his brows were furrowed deeply.
Many ministers of the Dragon Palace stood below, all with stern expressions, not saying a word.
“I have always held Dragon Palace to be impregnable, and thought that Demon Clan breaking through was only because of inferior strength. I didn’t expect that there were already moles beneath our city walls. I just don’t know who would act this way?” Ao Guang swept the ministers below with his gaze and said coldly.
There was a profound silence in the hall, yet no one spoke up.
Just when there was a profound silence, a voice sounded: “Your Majesty, Dragon King, I might know who this person is.”
As soon as the words ca out, everyone’s gaze was drawn over and landed on Shen Luo.
“You know?” Ao Guang frowned.
“I know, and this person is right in this palace hall at this mont.” Shen Luo stepped forward one step, nodded, and said.
Hearing these words, everyone looked at each other. And for a while, it seed like anyone could be the traitor.
“Brother Shen, do you really know?” Ao Hong took a step forward and asked.
“Who is it?” Ao Zhong also asked with a ghastly face.
