Gui Jianchou had just experienced a life-and-death battle. At this moment, he was like a candle in the wind, so weak that he seemed to be extinguished at any time. His face was pale, his breath was weak, and his eyes were closed, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him. Yun Xiao and Shen Biyao, the two masters with great reputations in the martial arts world, were helpless at this moment. They could only stand there and stare at the huge head with frowns.
The head stood like a small mountain, with spiritual fire burning in the two empty eye sockets, which was both strange and terrifying. The spiritual fire was indeed extraordinary, but to subdue it, it also required corresponding strength and means. Yun Xiao and Shen Biyao had stopped attacking, their eyes were full of helplessness and unwillingness. They knew very well that those who could withstand their full-strength attack without being damaged were definitely not ordinary creatures. If they could subdue it, it would undoubtedly be a great help. However, the reality was cruel, and they could only watch the head helplessly, but they could do nothing.
During the moment they rested, no one noticed that Xiaobai in Lu Xuan's arms had a helpless expression on his face. Suddenly, it flew out and headed straight for the top of the head. Its figure drew a graceful arc in the air, like a white lightning.
"Xiaobai!" Lu Xuanxin screamed in fear and wanted to chase after him, but was held back by Shen Biyao. "Don't worry, let's see the situation first." Shen Biyao said softly, with a wise light in her eyes. She knew very well that this little beast was extraordinary. It had been hiding its strength and had not taken action. Now it suddenly took action, and it must have its own plan. Maybe it can really tame this head. Shen Biyao thought so in her heart, but she was not completely sure.
Lu Xuan calmed down and looked up, only to see Xiaobai and the head fighting fiercely. The head was fixed and could not dodge, so it could only resist. However, Xiaobai's claws were extremely sharp, and each strike left a deep mark. The head looked angry and anxious, jumping around non-stop, and the fire in its eyes was getting weaker and weaker. The fire seemed to be the source of its life, but at this moment, it was being deprived bit by bit by Xiaobai.
Seeing that there was hope, Lu Xuanxin quickly encouraged Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, make it submit to you, or else kill it!" Xiaobai really stopped and stood in front of the head with a low roar, as if giving an order. However, the head was not willing to surrender easily, and it kept jumping around, and the flames flickered, as if expressing its unwillingness and anger.
Lu Xuanxin frowned and said, "Dad, this flame seems to be controlled by the head. What if it refuses to surrender? Or we should call Jianchou..." As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. Gui Jianchou's face turned as pale as paper. He opened his eyes weakly, with worry and helplessness flashing in his eyes. He knew the strangeness of this flame, and he also knew that his condition did not allow him to take risks again.
There must be something fishy about the flame that could summon people. Its intentions were hard to figure out. If it weren't for everyone's concerted efforts, and if Lu Xuanxin hadn't had the treasure of Lingru in his hand to save Gui Jianchou's life at the critical moment, he would have been in danger. Now everyone was very nervous, and their eyes were fixed on Xiaobai. Although Xiaobai was as small and round as a rabbit and quite cute, compared with that huge head, it was simply the difference between an ant and an elephant. It was really unexpected that this little guy dared to attack such a big head.
The head was fixed, and it could only passively take the beating. Xiaobai's claws fell on it again and again, leaving scars. After a long time, the head finally couldn't bear it anymore, and the flames also subsided, looking like they were about to go out. Its eyes were full of resentment and anger, but it was helpless. It knew that it could no longer resist.
Xiaobai stood proudly on top of the head, stretching out his short hand to call Lu Xuanxin over. Everyone was surprised when they saw it, they didn't expect it would be so easy for Xiaobai to tame the head. They gathered around and watched the head that had once left them helpless now so docilely submitting to Xiaobai's feet.
Lu Xuanxin approached with Gui Jianchou, followed by Shen Biyao, Yun Xiao and others. Old Lady Li followed closely behind, while the others waited outside. As soon as they approached the head, the flame flickered again. Xiaobai slapped it with one claw, and a sharp "crack" sounded. The sound seemed to be the wailing of the head, and also seemed to be the struggle of the flame. But no matter what, it could no longer escape Xiaobai's control.
Six people stood in front of the head. Yun Xiao and the others were so nervous that they surrounded Lu Xuanxin as if they were facing a great enemy, staring at the flames, afraid that something might happen. Everyone knew that the soul of the head was in the flames, and its joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness were all expressed through the flames. Although the flames were weak at the moment, they were still extremely hot, as if they would burst out at any time.
"Squeak!" Xiaobai suddenly screamed at Guijianchou twice, and no one knew what it meant. Lu Xuanxin asked Xiaobai to try to subdue the spiritual fire. As a result, once the head lost control of the fire, only an empty shell remained. However, it was still very hard and could be used to refine magic weapons. Magic weapons are different from weapons. They can be big or small, and can attack and defend, just like the magic lamp in Shen Biyao's hand. Weapons don't have so many functions.
With Xiaobai's deterrence, it was much easier for Gui Jianchou to subdue Linghuo. It only took one day for Linghuo to be successfully subdued. Gui Jianchou's momentum also soared, jumping directly from four stars to seven stars. There was a confident light in his eyes, as if he had already seen the future victory.
As soon as the spiritual fire was taken away, the head became quiet. It seemed to have lost all its strength and will, leaving only an empty shell. Lu Xuanxin looked at the head that had once left them helpless, and an inexplicable feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that all this was because of Xiaobai's existence. If it weren't for Xiaobai, they would have given up long ago.
"Dad, what should we do next?" Lu Xuanxin asked, and suddenly heard Chi Yan's voice. He looked up and saw Chi Yan standing not far away, staring at the head. Without receiving an order, it did not dare to move, and was scratching its head anxiously.
"Master, can you give me this head?" Chi Yan appeared, his eyes full of desire and expectation. He knew the extraordinary nature of this head, and he also knew that it would be a great help to him.
"What do you want it for?" Lu Xuanxin asked curiously. Chi Yan communicated with him through his divine mind and said, "This is the head of a powerful dark demon. It has been so long that I cannot refine it. Instead, it controls me." Its tone was full of helplessness and unwillingness. It knew how powerful and strange this head was, but it also knew that it could not fight it alone.
"Can it control people?" Lu Xuanxin was shocked when he heard it. He believed Chi Yan's words, because its bloodline had awakened and it had inherited the demon clan's legacy, so it must know a lot. He remembered that Yun Yan'er's personality changed drastically after she met the demon element, and an inexplicable worry surged in his heart. Fortunately, she met him, otherwise Yun Yan'er might have become a puppet of the demon clan. Now this head is also a hidden danger, and everyone has to be careful.
"What do you want to do with this bone?" Lu Xuanxin looked at the skull in front of him that was emitting a faint luster with curiosity and caution.
Chi Yan's eyes sparkled with unprecedented excitement: "I... want to refine it into my own skull, so that my defense will be greatly increased. Even if I meet that powerful guy again, I will have the courage to fight." His tone was full of longing for the future and desire to fight.
This skull is indeed extraordinary. The magic patterns on it show that it once belonged to a powerful dark demon. After refining, not only will the defense be improved, but the attack power will also be improved. Chi Yan seemed to have seen the scene of himself being invincible after refining the skull.
He looked away from the skull and scanned the broken bones scattered around. The arms, legs, and ribs all exuded a fiery breath, as if telling of their former glory. If he could possess all these bones, his strength would be soaring. However, to compete with Zihuang in strength was probably just Chi Yan's wishful thinking.
Lu Xuanxin was silent for a while after hearing this. He knew Chi Yan's ambition and determination, but he was also worried that such a choice would bring unpredictable consequences. He told Yun Xiao about Chi Yan's idea with an apologetic look. After hearing this, Yun Xiao frowned, obviously disagreeing with it.
Shen Biyao was anxious when she heard this. She was afraid that Chi Yan would be controlled by the evil spirit like Yan'er before. She firmly opposed to using these bones and refused to agree to Chi Yan's request. She looked at Chi Yan worriedly. As a contracted beast, if he was attacked by the evil spirit, it would be very disadvantageous to Xuan Xin. Yun Xiao also disagreed. He knew the strangeness and danger of the evil spirit and was unwilling to let Xuan Xin take risks.
However, Xuan Xin himself was not afraid of the demonic energy at all. He looked at Chi Yan's eager eyes and finally agreed to Chi Yan's request. He knew that Chi Yan had his own pride and determination, and all he needed was a chance.
Chi Yan happily brought the bone into the contract space, but he was not in a hurry to refine it. Because the Phantom Sky Snake was in the critical period of promotion, if Chi Yan went into seclusion again, Xuan Xin would have no one to help him. So Xuan Xin decided to wait until he entered the Purple Flame Lotus Secret Realm for seclusion before letting Chi Yan take action.
After dealing with these things, there was nothing else unusual on the mountain of corpses. Everyone prepared to return and set off on their journey home. After walking for a few more days, they didn't see a single person on the road, and the skeletons disappeared as well, as if all this was just a dream.
Finally, it was time to say goodbye, and everyone was reluctant to leave. Yun Xiao and Shen Biyao decided to go back first, as they had their own missions and responsibilities. Xuan Xin gave everyone a drop of ten thousand year old spiritual milk as a gift, which was the treasure he got from the secret realm, and each drop contained endless vitality and power.
Everyone was very grateful for the gift and thought it was from Yun Xiao. In fact, it was all from Xuan Xin's heart. After they knew the truth, they were even more grateful. Especially the newly joined Yan Cheng and Hong Yi, who felt that Xuan Xin had done them a great favor by receiving such a treasure.
"Xuan Xin, are you really not going back with us?" Yun Xiao looked at Xuan Xin, his eyes full of concern and worry. He knew Xuan Xin's strength and potential, but he was also worried that he would be in danger if he was alone.
Xuan Xin smiled helplessly and shook his head: "Grandma, when you are promoted to the Venerable Realm, my father and I will go back." His tone was full of expectations and confidence for the future. He knew that he still had a long way to go and he needed more experience and growth.
After hearing this, Shen Biyao held Yun Yan'er's hand with tears in her eyes and said, "Yan'er, as your aunt, you must take good care of Xuanxin." Her eyes were full of tenderness and entrustment, as if she wanted to pour all her worries and care on this niece.
Yun Yan'er's eyes also turned red emotionally, because this was the first time she was away from her mother, and she didn't know when she would see her again. She held Shen Biyao's hand tightly, with a firm light in her eyes: "Don't worry, aunt, I will take good care of Xuanxin."
Before they parted, Xuan Xin hurriedly called Lu Fengshan and gave him a piece of black fire from the black flame leopard. This piece of fire contained endless fire power and was of great help to the art of alchemy.
"Brother, this piece of earth fire is for you. Your alchemy skills will definitely improve." Xuanxin's tone was full of sincerity and expectation. He knew Fengshan's love and pursuit of alchemy, and this piece of earth fire would definitely be his best helper.
Fengshan took the Dihuo, hugged Xuanxin tightly for a long time, and then whispered, "Take care!" His eyes were full of emotion and reluctance, as if he wanted to pour all his blessings and care on this younger brother.
As the figure gradually faded away, Xuan Xin shook his head and sighed that he was being spoiled so much that he was afraid he would become useless. However, he knew that behind this love was his family's expectations and love for him, and he had to work harder to live up to this expectation.
"Xuanxin, don't sigh, your aunt is here with you." Yun Yan'er took Xuanxin's arm and comforted him, but her voice was choked and her eyes were red. She tried to pretend to be dignified, wanting to give Xuanxin some strength and courage.
