Chapter 104 - Destroying the Land of the Awakening of the Blue-Silver Bloodline

When Xu Mingxi stepped into the Sunset Forest again, he was still filled with emotion. If he hadn't obtained the Yin-Yang Ice and Fire Grass and the many magical herbs inside it, his growth—and that of the Star Crown Sect—would certainly not have progressed as rapidly as it had.

He looked at the lush silver-blue grass growing by the roadside and felt a murderous intent rising in his heart. If anyone was to blame, it was their emperor. As a spirit beast, she actually fell in love with a human. How foolish.

Xu Mingxi had always believed that Ah Yin was unworthy of being the emperor of the Blue Silver Grass clan. She neglected the safety and legacy of her clan members and secretly married a human. Aside from her bloodline, she had no qualifications to be the Blue Silver Emperor.

"Senior Dugu, please lead the way. Let's go directly to the Blue Silver Emperor's inheritance site."

"Alright, but you must help me look after Yanyan."

"Grandpa, what are you saying? I'm a Soul Master and can protect myself."

Dugu Yan was born several years earlier in this lifetime. With the guidance of Dugu Bo and the thousand-year-old soul bone prepared long ago, she no longer needed to worry about the poison in her body. With the resources provided by the Star Crown Sect, she advanced rapidly.

Now, at the age of fifteen, she had already become a level 33 control-type Soul Master. Under Dugu Bo's personal instruction, her poison was so terrifying that even Soul Kings had to be wary of it.

Xu Mingxi looked at Dugu Yan acting coquettishly with Dugu Bo and shook his head. The Dugu family could now be considered part of the Star Crown Sect.

He had always been very tolerant toward his own people, so he would naturally protect Dugu Yan. There was only one Blue Silver King, tens of thousands of years old, in the Blue Silver Emperor's inheritance site—nothing to fear.

As the local overlord of the Sun and Moon Forest, Dugu Bo had searched for poisonous insects and plants here year-round. He had even been to the Blue Silver Emperor's inheritance site before, so leading the way was easy for him.

The deeper they went, the older the surrounding plants appeared. The towering trees were so lush and leafy that they nearly blocked out all sunlight.

After a while, Dugu Bo led Xu Mingxi to the edge of the inheritance site. After passing through a thicket and several ancient trees so wide it took multiple people to wrap around them, Xu Mingxi finally saw the destination of their journey.

It was a special plant, entirely translucent, composed of countless thick intertwining vines with fused blue bark. The surrounding silver-blue grass grew especially lush.

At the center of the plant, the vines twisted and morphed as if forming a human face. As if sensing the arrival of Xu Mingxi and the other two, the face remained still.

Those unfamiliar might be fooled by its disguise, but Xu Mingxi was not one of them. He had read the script and knew that the plant before him was most likely the Blue Silver King who helped Tang San awaken his bloodline in the original novel.

The only way to test whether he would admit his mistake was to try. Xu Mingxi casually fired a beam of sunlight at the Blue Silver King.

The sunlight slowly approached. Under Xu Mingxi's gaze, the thick blue vines moved. They gathered into a shield to block the sunlight, but unexpectedly, they were burned away.

The Blue Silver King no longer hid, abandoning all the burning vines. The remaining ones danced violently, glaring at Xu Mingxi and the other two, ready to strike at any moment.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

"Blue Silver King, there's no need to ask our purpose here. Before the Blue Silver Emperor passed away, she told us the location of this place, hoping we could pass on the Blue Silver Emperor's inheritance to her son."

"You say the Emperor and Empress had a son. Where is he? He must come personally to receive the inheritance. No, you're lying. There's no way the Emperor and Empress would have told you about this place."

The Blue Silver King was shocked to hear that the Blue Silver Emperor and Empress had a descendant. He suddenly realized that it was impossible for the Emperor and Empress to tell an outsider about the location of the Blue Silver Emperor's inheritance.

Let alone a human who attacked upon arrival—there was no way the Blue Silver Empress would befriend someone like that.

He stared at the three humans in front of him. Anyone who knew that the Empress had a son was surely an enemy, if not a threat.

A dim blue light quietly emerged from the surrounding silver-blue grass and gathered into the Blue Silver King's body. Countless vines attacked the three from all directions.

Their power was immense and their speed astonishing. Even Dugu Yan instinctively hid behind her grandfather. But Dugu Bo remained calm. He was confident that Xu Mingxi wouldn't be troubled by an attack of this level.

"Senior Dugu, it looks like he's already figured out my plan. What should I do now?"

Dugu Bo's face was full of black lines. Xu Mingxi hadn't expected him to answer. If his plan succeeded, he would have no choice but to destroy the Blue Silver King and this entire area.

He used the ultimate skill of the hundred-thousand-year-old Fire Lizard Soul Bone—Sunfire Cannon.

This soul skill had become Xu Mingxi's favorite for dealing with weaker opponents. A massive beam of golden-red light bombarded downward.

The surrounding silver-blue grass withered under the intense heat, the Blue Silver King's vines melted, the light beam struck his body directly, and flames began to rise from him.

The Blue Silver King, a brave soul, endured his burning body and survived the Sunfire Cannon with his powerful vitality.

He stared at Xu Mingxi in horror. He had thought that these three humans must be powerful to come here, but he didn't expect them to be this strong—so strong that even a soul beast king who had lived 85,000 years had no ability to resist.

The Blue Silver King couldn't believe that the Blue Silver Grass Clan would suffer such a blow from creatures this powerful. What exactly had the Empress done out there to provoke such a powerful enemy, reveal the location of the clan, and even bring them here to attack?

If only Ah Yin were here, she would surely scream that she was being wronged. Though she had provoked the stronger Spirit Hall, she had never revealed the location of the clan to anyone other than Tang Hao.

Moreover, she didn't even know Xu Mingxi, Dugu Bo, or Dugu Yan, let alone offend them.

"You—you—who are you, and why do you want to destroy my Blue Silver Grass Clan?!"

The Blue Silver King's remaining body continued to roar. Now that the Blue Silver Emperor was dead and the clan was on the verge of destruction, the Blue Silver Grass Clan might soon become nothing more than weeds by the roadside. He had fallen into madness.

Now, he only wanted to die with a clear conscience. As for the human's claim about the Blue Silver Emperor's descendant, he didn't believe it at all. It was probably just a fabricated story to deceive him.

"As for us, we're from the Clear Sky Sect. And the reason we want to destroy you is simple—because your emperor was ignorant. Our sect leader's son wanted to kill her and take her ring, but she dared to resist."

"Clear Sky Sect—you all deserve to die! You all deserve to die!!!"

The Blue Silver King once again faced the Sunfire Cannon as he continued to curse. To prevent any accidents, Xu Mingxi turned a ten-mile radius area into scorched earth, using the King as the center. He didn't believe that the Blue Silver King could survive after all that.
