Its speed increased dramatically, appearing almost teleported to Dugu Yudaos head where it landed and lay down.Dugu Yudao’s body trembled as he stopped abruptly.
"Friend Xie, help me..." but before he could do anything, the lightning Pi Dòng sucked in hissed out, leaving nothing but ashes.
Even a cry of pain was not heard.Xie Jie's expression changed dramatically as he drew in a breath and retreated suddenly.
He felt shaken and looked at the now floating Pi Dòng with horror.The ancient jade, without Dugu Yudaos and Xie Jies interference, flew towards Meng Hao, who smiled.
Instead of advancing, he took a few steps back, avoiding the path of the jade, which landed in front of Han Bei.
This caught Han Bei off guard, and Xie Jie was also stunned by Meng Haos retreat."Both of you have already ensnared the gray-robed cultivator, and now want to ensnare me as well?" Meng Hao smiled with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"The appearance of this Pi Dòng was unforeseen even for you, Han Daoist Friend.
Therefore, Dugu Yudaos death is not considered breaking your agreement;it’s truly an accident.""Whichever choice you make, the existence of Dugu Yudao is necessary.
This means that all three of us are required to complete this task," Meng Hao said with a smile as he revealed his intentions.
"Now I think you should consider how I can agree to replace Dugu Yudaos position." His words were calm, but they held an icy edge.Han Bei's expression softened as she bowed slightly towards Meng Hao.
Xie Jie looked on coldly.
Inside the gray-robed cultivator’s dome, Han Bei had already been chosen as his dual cultivation partner and was to be formally recognized by her sect after this matter concluded.Han Bei took a deep breath, raising three colored threads that flew out infinitely extended and curved towards the statue of her ancestor.
Following the cracks behind the statue, she injected blood from her tongue, dyeing the three-colored threads red as they merged into her ancestor's figure.The other two threads split apart, with Han Bei holding one and the other reaching out to Meng Hao and Xie Jie.
Xie Jie grabbed one of them quickly.Los ojos de Meng Hao brillaron y, al instante, tomó el hilo.
En el momento en que tocó el hilo, una sensación cálida se extendió por su espejo de cobre dentro de la bolsa."Las nueve estatuas, alzando las manos, no son tesoros verdaderos de toda una vida, sino ilusiones.
Los verdaderos tesoros existen dentro de esta olla redonda, inaccesibles para los forasteros, incluso para los descendientes de los nueve apellidos.
Pero, ya que la estatua de mi antepasado fue dañada por el rayo, ahora tiene una falla que permite tomar los Nueve Tesoros que hay dentro de la olla!"""Extraction requires opening the round cauldron, which is beyond our current abilities.
Therefore, Meng Brother and Lord Xie must help me burn our bloodlines to return to our primal state and use my ancestor's statue as a medium," Han Bei said with a hint of sorrow in her eyes, smiling sweetly at Meng Hao.Dugu Yudaos speed increased dramatically as he approached the statues, extending the three-colored threads towards them.
The threads stretched infinitely before merging into his ancestors' figure, while another thread was handed to Meng Hao and Xie Jie by Han Bei.Meng Hao grabbed it, and a warm sensation flowed through him as he integrated the transmission power within the thread.
After some thought, he nodded slightly.Han Bei's smile widened as she bowed towards Meng Hao, making Xie Jie look at her with an unfriendly expression.
In this situation, there was no point in hiding anything;Han Bei had already been designated by the sect as his dual cultivation partner and awaited their formal ceremony.
