Chapter 1004: This is my bone!

In the square of the East Moyu Immortal Art Hall, the bone cauldron was currently roaring, surrounded by nine-colored flames that were constantly erupting and burning fiercely.

The rune imprints on the surface of the cauldron were flashing rapidly, all of them activating, causing the flames to grow even larger while the refining... officially began!

Among the representatives of the various Sovereign Mountains surrounding the square, three had already stood up, their expressions gloomy.

As for the others, suspicion and doubt emerged in their hearts one by one.

The reversal of this scene was simply too sudden.

They found it hard to anticipate that the Great Elder of the Immortal Art Hall, who had initiated the ritual, would fail while in such an advantageous position.

After all, without a certain degree of confidence, the Great Elder would not have invited the various Sovereign Mountains to witness it.

Although there was the reason of opening the Immortal Seizing Ritual which forced him to invite the various Sovereign Mountains, regardless, the Great Elder must have made perfect preparations to prevent accidents.

But... an accident had occurred after all.

Although everyone did not know how Miss Yuedong managed to deceive the Great Elder and show a comeback at the very end, there was no doubt that this time, the position of Great Immortal Master had become uncertain.

And as for who would ascend to Great Immortal Master, the interests of the various Sovereign Mountains were also different.

Some leaned towards the Great Elder, some leaned towards Miss Yuedong, and others were neutral.

Therefore, upon seeing such a change, the representatives of the Third Sovereign Mountain and the Seventh Sovereign Mountain, who had connections with the Great Elder beforehand, flickered their bodies, preparing to rush out to assist.

But the moment those two parties were about to move, the envoys of the Fourth Sovereign Mountain and the Sixth Sovereign Mountain simultaneously flickered, appearing in front to block the rescue.

They stared at each other without words, because their actions had already expressed their attitudes, and thus, a sense of confrontation instantly rose among these four parties.

The moment these four parties were in confrontation, a whistling sound came from outside the Immortal Art Hall.

A group of cultivators wearing black robes, bringing a portion of Immortal Masters, rushed in from the outside. The person in the lead wore a magnificent robe and was a young man.

This person had intense killing intent, and with the cultivators behind him, he fought all the way against the Immortal Masters belonging to the Great Elder who were blocking the front.

His speed was astonishing, and he leaped up, flying directly above the bone cauldron amidst the fighting parties.

The moment he appeared, the void around him distorted, and three of the Great Elder's trusted Immortal Masters manifested, rushing straight towards this young man.

These three Immortal Masters were each extraordinary. The moment they attacked, their strange immortal arts formed three pitch-black fangs, wreathed in black mist, heading straight for the young man in the magnificent robe.

But the young man in the magnificent robe remained unmoved. Bearing the force of the three people's attacks, he took out a bell and slammed it fiercely down towards the cauldron below.

The sound of the bell tolling immediately echoed. The bell instantly expanded, reaching a size of several hundred zhang, enveloping the cauldron and covering it completely.

The aura it emitted swept across all directions.

All of this took a long time to say, but in reality, it happened in the blink of an eye.

After dropping the bell, the attacks of the three Immortal Masters also landed on the young man in the magnificent robe. His body rolled backward, and blood sprayed out, but a cold voice came from his mouth.

"This bell is the attitude of my Yun family!"

"My Yun family fully supports Miss Yuedong's ascension to Great Immortal Master!"

The Immortal Masters belonging to the Great Elder around them all had gloomy expressions, staring fixedly at the young man in the magnificent robe and the others who had rushed in. The envoys of the various Sovereign Mountains also cast their gazes over.

"Yun Heaven Bell!"

The fame of this bell was not small in East Moyu; it was the foundation treasure of the Yun family, which was as famous as the Lan family.

As for that young man in the magnificent robe, his own fame was also not small; he was the Young Master of this generation of the Yun family!

At this moment, as they recognized him, the envoys of the various Sovereign Mountains all had strange expressions.

It was clear that the Yun family Young Master's pursuit of Miss Yuedong was no secret in East Moyu, and all parties had intelligence that this Yun family Young Master had previously helped Miss Yuedong in the Immortal Art Hall.

But regardless, this was originally his personal behavior, and following Miss Yuedong's capture, the other party had also been driven out of the Immortal Art Hall, but now... not only did he arrive at a precise moment, but he also displayed the Yun family's treasure.

This was different.

The former only represented himself.

But now, he represented the Yun family.

This made this struggle for Great Immortal Master have even more uncertainty.

And what truly swayed this struggle was, in fact... not the Yun family, nor the Immortal Masters here, but the Ten Sovereign Mountains.

They possessed this right.

Thus, a middle-aged man walked out from the Great Elder's side, cupping his fists and bowing to the various Sovereign Mountains.

"Miss Yuedong is a traitor to our Immortal Art Hall, and this Yun family Young Master has also been deceived. As for the Yun family's support, unless the Yun family ancestor arrives, our Immortal Art Hall will not believe it."

"At this moment, I ask all envoys to assist in setting things right. In the future, our Immortal Art Hall will definitely repay this kindness of assistance!"

Seeing this person speak in such a way, the Yun family Young Master's expression sank. He also looked towards the envoys of the various Sovereign Mountains, cupping his fists and speaking.

"Everyone, this is an internal matter of the Immortal Art Hall. Miss Miss Yuedong is not a traitor to the Immortal Art Hall. As the only disciple of the previous Great Immortal Master and having mastered the Six Thieves Delusion Immortal Art, she is the legitimate successor."

"It is that Great Elder who harbors evil intentions, disregarding the traditions of the Immortal Art Hall, and plotting for the position of Great Immortal Master. He is extremely vicious!"

"I ask everyone to maintain your past attitude and not interfere in the internal affairs of the Immortal Art Hall."

After the Yun family Young Master finished speaking and bowed, he was also anxious in his heart. He knew his family too well. This time, he took the treasure, and the process was very smooth, which already indicated the ancestor's attitude.

If he succeeded, then the Yun family's support would be real.

If he failed, then it would be that he stole the treasure without authorization, and the Yun family would completely distance itself from this matter.

Thus, he raised his head and looked at the envoys of the Sovereign Mountains, especially towards the Fourth and Sixth Sovereign Mountains, because these two parties, under Miss Yuedong's communication, had chosen to support Miss Yuedong.

The envoys of the Fourth Sovereign and Sixth Sovereign were also thinking in their hearts. They had already done their best to block the envoys of the Third and Seventh Sovereign, and now if they were to speak, they would be doing too much.

It had already exceeded their gains.

As a result, there was some imbalance.

And just as everyone was pondering, a voice came low from the seat of the First Sovereign Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, since when did the affairs of the Immortal Art Hall become decided by the Yun family?"

Sitting on the seat of the First Sovereign Mountain was an old man. This old man had his eyes closed. At this moment, he spoke up to this point. Although he still did not open his eyes, his voice carried weight, roaring in this place.

"In the ancient agreement, the affairs of the Immortal Art Hall are decided jointly by the various Sovereign Mountains. We do not interfere out of respect, but that does not mean we cannot interfere; it is just a matter of waiting for the necessary moment."

"And now, it is that moment. Everyone, I propose to open the cauldron and assist the Great Elder of the Immortal Art Hall to set things right. This farce should also end."

As the words of the First Sovereign Mountain envoy came out, the Yun family Young Master's expression changed, and the Immortal Masters under the Great Elder were excited. They knew that the weight of the First Sovereign Mountain was extremely high.

The other Sovereign Mountain envoys were also thoughtful at this moment, and even the Fourth and Sixth Sovereigns, who leaned towards Miss Yuedong, were hesitant in their hearts. The balance began to tilt.

Seeing that everything was about to be settled.

Xu Qing's voice, like a cold wind sweeping through, echoed in the square.

"I object!"

As soon as his voice came out, it immediately attracted all gazes.

The old man of the First Sovereign Mountain, whose eyes were originally closed, suddenly opened them at this moment, looking at Xu Qing.

The weight of Xue Chenzi was very heavy.

The weight of the Tenth Sovereign was even heavier.

Therefore, the objection of the Tenth Sovereign Mountain made even the old man of the First Sovereign Mountain feel a thud in his heart.

Being stared at by everyone, Xu Qing's expression remained as usual. After seeing the Eldest Brother make a move, he knew his guess was correct; all of this was intentionally done by the Eldest Brother.

Then, at this moment, he naturally could not let anyone ruin the Eldest Brother's plan.

"Before I came here, the Sovereign had an order: my Tenth Sovereign Mountain does not participate in any internal disputes of the Immortal Art Hall. My mountain... only supports the winner!"

Xu Qing spoke calmly, his gaze sweeping across, staring at the old man of the First Sovereign Mountain with a strong posture, not giving an inch.

The other Sovereign envoys stopped talking, their gazes sweeping over Xu Qing and the other person, watching them clash.

As for the old man of the First Sovereign Mountain, who was being stared at strongly by Xu Qing, he stared at Xu Qing at this moment and spoke hoarsely.

"I am very strange, Xue Chenzi, you and Miss Yuedong clearly have a grudge, why are you like this today?"

"Compared to the Sovereign's order and personal grudges, I naturally obey the former." Xu Qing spoke calmly, and then his voice became cold.

"Additionally, I very much hope that Miss Yuedong becomes the Great Immortal Master. In that case, I will have the pleasure of killing her with my own hands."

The old man of the First Sovereign Mountain narrowed his eyes. After carefully sizing up Xu Qing a few times, he suddenly spoke.

"If I still insist, what will you do?"

Hearing this, Xu Qing's expression remained as usual.

"You can try."

Throughout the square, following the utterance of these four words by Xu Qing, an oppressive atmosphere immediately formed. Vaguely, two storms radiated from Xu Qing and the old man of the First Sovereign Mountain, touching invisibly.

But clearly, the deeds of the current Xue Chenzi in West Moyu had spread everywhere, especially the death of the West Moyu Son, which had shocked too many people's hearts.

Therefore, facing Xu Qing's strength, even the old man of the First Sovereign Mountain felt waves in his heart.

Inside the cauldron, the heart of the Great Elder of the Immortal Art Hall was also surging.

He had checked many times before, even shattering Miss Yuedong's meridians, draining her blood, and placing numerous restrictions to ensure nothing went wrong.

But he did not expect that at the final moment, he would be moved into the cauldron by the other party using this strange method, resulting in a situation where they were being refined together.

Although he still had arrangements and had communicated deeply with the First Sovereign Mountain, obtaining the support of the First Sovereign Mountain, he was certain that the outside world would soon open the cauldron to save him.

But he understood that the price paid for being saved versus freeing himself would be different.

Additionally, he had complete confidence in freeing himself.

This confidence was based on his understanding and control of this bone cauldron!

Although his authority over this cauldron was not as good as the Great Immortal Master's, he was confident that whether it was understanding, exploration, or the authority he possessed, none of it was comparable to Miss Yuedong's.

According to the rules of the Immortal Art Hall, only the Great Immortal Master and the Great Elder were qualified to use this cauldron.

Now that the Great Immortal Master had fallen, as the Great Elder, he was naturally full of confidence.

"Miss Yuedong, you don't understand this cauldron at all. From the moment you entered here, your ending was already destined."

"Therefore, all your layouts are meaningless."

The Great Elder spoke lightly, raising his hand to form a seal, and immediately the cauldron trembled.

Following this, his body swayed, and he headed straight upward. While pinching a seal, he deployed the specific immortal technique for controlling this cauldron, intending to permeate out of the furnace.

The cauldron vibrated even more strongly, controlled by the Great Elder's authority. A blur appeared above, and it looked like he was about to break free.

But just at this moment, Miss Yuedong, who was left with only a head, revealed a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth.

"I don't understand this cauldron?"

"Grow to death for me!"

Erniu roared low.

In an instant, the vortex above the cauldron disappeared, and countless flesh and blood emerged from thin air, spreading in all directions, actually growing the lid and the body of the cauldron... completely together.

And they seemed to be of the same origin, inseparable.

No matter how the Great Elder's authority immortal art operated, it was of no use, as if his authority... had become a display!

The Great Elder was immediately suspicious. He had only been surging in his heart when he was sucked in before, but now the turmoil was so great that it was no exaggeration to describe it as a stormy sea.

"How is this possible! You are not Miss Yuedong, Miss Yuedong cannot do this, you... who are you!!"

Chen Erniu grinned hideously.

"What's impossible about it?"

"The material of this furnace was mine to begin with!"

"As for who I am, damn it, I've already told you this furnace was used to refine me, so who do you think I am?"

Erniu's head floated up, his expression arrogant.

His heart was filled with emotion, recalling the scene when he, the Master, and Xu Qing had seen the statue of the Immortal Art Great Emperor in the palace storing immortal arts beneath Fenghai County.

"At that time, the old man told me to worship this Immortal Art Great Emperor. I'd worship his bird head; I wouldn't worship him no matter who I worship!"

"It was this bird Great Emperor who used my third life's body to refine the cauldron back then."

"That was my third life!"

"At that time, I was still very innocent, not knowing the sinister nature of the human heart. Isn't it just borrowing some treasures from various clans, and isn't it just wanting to borrow the imperial crown from Xuanyou to play with? What a big deal, Xuanyou didn't even say anything, but this bird Great Emperor actually dealt me a death blow."

"Killing me was one thing, but he even refined my corpse into a cauldron. The most excessive part was that he wanted to embed my skull on it. This is bullying people too much!"

"Fortunately, I saw this cauldron from Miss Yuedong's memory. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have been able to find my poor and innocent third life's skeleton in this lifetime."

Erniu gritted his teeth, roaring low in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 1007 =====
