Chapter 60: Wu Mingyue Comes to Aid, Three Sides in Play—Yet Again, Jun Xiaoyao Outmaneuvers Them

Hearing that voice, Xiao Chen’s heart lurched, and he spun around sharply.

A beautiful woman clad in green armor appeared, her bearing heroic and striking, her phoenix eyes piercing.

On her head grew two green dragon horns.

Who else could it be but Long Bichi?

“That one from the Ancestral Dragon Nest…” Xiao Chen’s heart sank slightly.

Although he knew Long Bichi might have come for the dragon bones as well,

he never expected her to find them so quickly.

In Long Bichi’s jade hand rested a piece of green bone.

It was this bone that allowed her to faintly sense the location of the dragon bones and come directly here.

Now, seeing the five dragon bones—especially the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone—Long Bichi’s beautiful eyes glowed with fervor.

The Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone was rare even in the Ancestral Dragon Nest.

“Perfect, I can complete this mission now,” Long Bichi breathed a sigh of relief.

Though dealing with Jun Xiaoyao had been put on hold, at least the mission was done.

Long Bichi turned her gaze away, then noticed Xiao Chen standing beside the dragon bones.

Seeing a human, she frowned in confusion. “Didn’t expect a human to get here before me. Since I’m in a good mood today, leave now.”

Long Bichi waved her hand dismissively, not giving Xiao Chen a second thought.

“Hmph, Miss, you’re being far too tyrannical. Do you take me, Xiao Chen, for nothing?” Xiao Chen’s brow darkened as he spoke coldly.

“Take you seriously?” Long Bichi tilted her head slightly, a mocking smirk curling her lips.

“Do you think you’re Jun Xiaoyao? I fear Jun Xiaoyao—do you think I fear a mere ant like you?”

Hearing Long Bichi’s words, Xiao Chen’s eyes blazed with fury.

“Jun Xiaoyao, Jun Xiaoyao—always Jun Xiaoyao! Where am I inferior to him?!”

Xiao Chen let out a sudden roar, startling Long Bichi—who had no idea why this human had suddenly lost control.

“Whatever you call yourself, you’ll kneel before me!” Xiao Chen launched an attack himself.

“Despicable human brat, you seek death!” Long Bichi’s brows snapped up, and she struck back.

Their forms clashed instantly, sending waves of magic power rippling outward.

“Hmm? Your cultivation?” Long Bichi was slightly startled.

She hadn’t expected this human boy to possess mid-stage Bridge-to-Heaven cultivation.

That was already comparable to a heavenly prodigy.

Even she, Long Bichi, was only at the peak of Bridge-to-Heaven.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Their techniques clashed, neither gaining the upper hand.

At that moment, the voice of Qinglong Shiren echoed in Xiao Chen’s mind: “Xiao Chen, don’t delay—find a way to take the dragon bones. If others arrive, it’ll be trouble.”

Qinglong Shiren didn’t act because he couldn’t.

As a quasi-supreme primordial spirit, even one move might be sensed by the immortal sect elders outside the Supreme Secret Treasury.

Thus, Xiao Chen had to rely on himself.

“Fine, end this quickly!”

Xiao Chen made his decision, let out a long roar to the heavens, and his body surged with emerald light.

Before Long Bichi’s slightly stunned gaze, Xiao Chen’s skin was covered in green scales, his back sprouting twin wings—he transformed into a half-dragon form.

His aura surged directly to the Unity Realm.

“This… this is the Azure Dragon Transformation Art of the Ancestral Dragon Nest—how did you obtain it?” Long Bichi froze, disbelieving.

She never imagined a human boy could master the Azure Dragon Transformation Art to this extent.

“Hmph, you haven’t seen anything yet!”

Seeing Long Bichi’s shock, Xiao Chen felt a flicker of pride.

He punched forward, releasing a hundred emerald dragon light patterns, his fist radiating astonishing power.

But Long Bichi was no pushover.

She had fully assimilated two Dragon Primal Essences—her strength surpassed even Long Haotian’s.

Long Bichi swept her jade hand, like a true dragon’s tail lashing, unleashing a cascade of magical runes.

Xiao Chen’s punches opened wide and fierce, their vibrations staggering.

The two remained locked in stalemate.

“This bitch is really getting in the way…”

Seeing he couldn’t fully subdue Long Bichi, Xiao Chen’s brow darkened like stormy water.

Just as the situation hit a deadlock,

a streak of magic power shot forth from nearby, cracking the ground along its path.

Sensing this sudden attack, Long Bichi’s heart jolted; she dodged sideways but was grazed, spitting out a small amount of blood.

“Who?!” Long Bichi’s eyes blazed with fury.

A stunningly beautiful woman in white gauze appeared, her eyes like autumn waters.

“Mingyue? It’s you—what are you doing here?!” Xiao Chen’s face lit up with surprised delight.

Wu Mingyue’s appearance was completely unexpected by Xiao Chen.

“Xiao Chen, are you alright?” Wu Mingyue glanced at him with concern, then turned her beautiful eyes coldly toward Long Bichi.

“Who are you?” Long Bichi’s eyes narrowed in caution.

She could sense this veiled woman was extraordinary—not just in cultivation, but in origin and status.

"Leave. This place's treasures are not for you to touch," Wu Mingyue said coldly, her imperial princess aura radiating invisibly.

“You dare interfere with the Ancestral Dragon Nest’s affairs?” Long Bichi’s eyes turned icy.

“The Ancestral Dragon Nest is powerful—but so what?” Wu Mingyue showed no fear.

Seeing Wu Mingyue stand up for him against the Ancestral Dragon Nest, Xiao Chen was deeply moved.

He vowed: someday, he would marry Wu Mingyue and cherish her deeply.

Yet just as tension thickened,

another voice rang out, cold and detached.

“Hmph, these dragon bones belong neither to the Ancestral Dragon Nest nor to either of you—they belong to the Divine Son.”

Hearing this, Long Bichi, Wu Mingyue, and Xiao Chen all paled.

A young man in silver battle armor appeared.

His face was noble, marked with intersecting scars, his aura icy as frost, his body wreathed in lightning runes.

It was Jun Wanjie, fifth in line of the Jun Clan!

“Jun Wanjie? How did you get here?!” Long Bichi’s eyes widened.

“Thanks to this little lab rat,” Jun Wanjie’s eyes flickered with cold mockery as he looked at Xiao Chen.

Earlier, Jun Xiaoyao had sent Jun Wanjie a mental message, instructing him to secretly follow Xiao Chen.

Jun Wanjie had initially wondered—what use was following an ordinary boy?

But now, seeing the four primordial dragon bones and the Supreme Ancestral Dragon Bone, Jun Wanjie was utterly convinced of Jun Xiaoyao’s brilliance.

“Could my lord possibly divine fate? How else could he know this boy would gain such fortune?” Jun Wanjie marveled inwardly.

But now, his main goal was to seize the five dragon bones.

Seeing Jun Wanjie appear, Xiao Chen’s face flushed crimson, his temples throbbing with veins, his inner organs burning with rage.

He knew at once—he’d been secretly manipulated by Jun Xiaoyao again.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen turned to Wu Mingyue. “Mingyue, please help me subdue this man!”
