Free Web NovelChapter 134: Chapter 134: Saint Bone Ceremony
’Someone can hide the aura of a Life-taking Bone? Do people with such methods really exist?’
Lu Chao was also stunned. This was the first time he had ever heard of such a person.
At that moment, Cheng Yunsu couldn’t hold back and quickly replied, "Marquis, we are willing."
She didn’t want Lu Chao to refuse.
Although Cheng Yunsu knew Lu Chao didn’t care about his Life-taking Bone, the path for someone with one was incredibly difficult. Of course, she hoped Lu Chao could hide its aura and truly walk a normal path in this world.
Lu Chao glanced at Cheng Yunsu, giving her a reassuring smile.
Then, without hesitation, he said, "Thank you, Marquis. I too would like to see the sights of the Dragon Flame Royal Capital."
Lu Chao solemnly agreed. He wasn’t against the idea at all.
It would certainly be good to temporarily hide the aura of the Life-taking Bone; it would save him a lot of unnecessary trouble. Of course, in the future, he would still make the Life-taking Bone truly shine in this Heavenly Destiny World.
Yin Ye watched Lu Chao and nodded with a smile. "Good. In that case, come find me in Jizhou City in three days, and we will depart immediately."
With that, Yin Ye said no more. He and Yin Qixing took their leave.
Watching the two of them depart, the members of the Azure Flame Sect finally let their immense gratitude show. He was the one who had given them a peaceful place to settle down, and he was the one who had just forced Elder Lady Su to retreat.
And now, he was even giving Lu Chao a chance to step onto a proper stage.
All the Descendants of Azure Flame firmly believed that once Lu Chao hid his Life-taking Bone, he would unleash terrifying power. The Lu Chao known as the Great Martial Emperor Star would be gradually forgotten.
Their Lu Chao, of the Azure Flame, would be remembered!
It wasn’t until the two had left that Cheng Yunsu lowered her head and said softly, "Lu Chao, I overstepped."
She had agreed too quickly just now.
This would also cause Lu Chao to owe Yin Ye a massive favor.
Lu Chao saw what Xiao Su’er was thinking.
"Even without this matter of hiding the Life-taking Bone’s aura, I would still owe him a great debt. I predicted Marquis Jilong would intervene just now, and that’s the only reason I led the Azure Flame Sect to confront the Saint Bone Su Family."
Lu Chao no longer wanted to bring great trouble upon the Descendants of Azure Flame.
If Yin Ye hadn’t arrived, he wouldn’t have led the members of the Azure Flame Sect to resist. He would have first tried to stall Elder Lady Su, ascertain her objective, and then think of another solution.
Since he already owed one favor, he didn’t mind owing another.
He would definitely repay it in the future.
The members of the Azure Flame Sect overheard Lu Chao, and Luo Wendeng couldn’t help but say, "Brother Lu, our lives..."
Lu Chao smiled and quickly cut him off.
"Let’s keep things separate. You all have only just managed to settle down."
"Cultivate diligently. There will be plenty of opportunities for us to fight side-by-side in the future. We will become fearless."
At Lu Chao’s words, the expressions of the Descendants of Azure Flame turned solemn. They fiercely resolved to grow stronger, vowing they would never be a burden to Lu Chao. They had to help him, even if it cost them their lives!
Back in Azure Flame Town, everyone resumed the town’s reconstruction.
Meanwhile, Lu Chao and Cheng Yunsu returned to the small mountain, and Cheng Chuming joined them.
"Although I expected Marquis Jilong to step in and block the Saint Bone Su Family, I didn’t think he would be so concerned about my Life-taking Bone."
As he spoke, Lu Chao recalled the moment Yin Ye sent the old maidservant flying...
That slap was what truly surprised Lu Chao. That one slap proved Yin Ye accepted the Life-taking Bone. He couldn’t help but murmur, "In this world, there are still many people who don’t believe the Life-taking Bone is a curse."
He had already met quite a few such people.
There was his wife, Cheng Yunsu, not to mention the grandfather-grandson pair of Fan Jinhua and Fan Changcun, Wu Caicai, and all the Descendants of Azure Flame. Now, Marquis Jilong, Yin Ye, was added to the list.
Suddenly, Lu Chao looked at Cheng Chuming.
"Father-in-law, although Marquis Jilong isn’t afraid of the Saint Bone Su Family, their power is still immense."
"Are you... are you sure you don’t want to give it a try?"
’I’m not sure if Father-in-law will regret this,’ he thought. ’If he might, then we have to try.’
Cheng Chuming shook his head emphatically. "Right now, I only care about your safety. And I don’t want to live my life at the mercy of others’ moods anymore."
...
"I’m furious! Absolutely furious! That damned illegitimate son! That Yin Ye, who deserves to be sliced into a thousand pieces!"
The Saint Bone Su Family’s procession was on a road leading away from Azure Flame Town.
Inside the Beast Vehicle, Elder Lady Su was cursing up a storm.
The old maidservant’s face was still burning. She said in a low voice, "Elder Lady, they will regret it. Once they find out we wanted to bring them back to the Su Family for the Saint Bone Ceremony, they’ll definitely come scampering back, begging us on their knees."
Hearing the words "Saint Bone Ceremony," Elder Lady Su’s gaze grew even more sinister.
She spoke with hatred, "That damned old fool! If he hadn’t been so promiscuous in his youth, none of this would be happening. Our great Su Family can’t even find a single person who can awaken a Saint Bone now."
Not every descendant of a Saint Bone would possess a Saint Bone, but their Saint Bone Families were an exception.
Because they had the... Saint Bone Ceremony, passed down from their ancestors!
So in every generation, someone would awaken a Saint Bone. Even if they weren’t born with one, they had a chance to awaken it through the Saint Bone Ceremony.
Whenever a Saint Bone passed away, the awakening of at least one new Saint Bone was guaranteed to follow.
Cheng Chuming’s biological father, who was also Elder Lady Su’s husband, had passed away not long ago. He was the former Patriarch of the Su Family and a Saint Bone of the older generation. But when they initiated the Saint Bone Ceremony after his death, not a single person in the family awakened.
In other words, the Saint Bone Su Family’s Saint Bone lineage was now broken.
For the Su Family, this was a devastating blow. The entire family fell into boundless panic.
Everyone discussed what to do. The conclusion was this: Old Master Su had sowed his wild oats everywhere when he was young. Wherever he went, he demanded that the local nobles offer up beautiful women, resulting in a great many illegitimate children.
Therefore, their next Saint Bone was very likely to be found among these illegitimate children.
For this reason, Elder Lady Su immediately ordered a search for them.
The more they searched, the more they found. This nearly angered Elder Lady Su to death; she came close to digging up her husband’s grave.
She naturally remembered that Cheng Weishan had brought the still-swaddled Cheng Chuming to visit when he was young. It just so happened that the people she sent out reported back that Cheng Chuming and his daughter were likely in Azure Flame Town.
She happened to be in Jizhou City herself, so she came personally—who knew it would lead to such vexation. ƒrēewebnovel.com
"Marquis Jilong, Yin Ye... Once a Saint Bone appears in my Su Family, I will not spare him," Elder Lady Su spat hatefully.
Right now, she truly didn’t dare to provoke Marquis Jilong—all because her Saint Bone lineage was broken.
At this moment, the old maidservant chimed in, "From what I saw, that Cheng Chuming’s Martial Dao is utter trash. His daughter can’t be much better. It’s impossible for them to awaken a Saint Bone. When we get the chance, we should make them suffer."
Elder Lady Su nodded hatefully, not wanting to say any more.
