115: Using oneself as bait

Since a slow and steady approach won't work, we can only take another path.

What is most precious in the Inner Realm?

Undoubtedly, it is flesh and blood.

Currently, those known to possess flesh and blood are all within the city.

However, the beings within the city are all incredibly powerful, and furthermore, that place is directly under the East Liming King's nose. Killing them is simply impossible.

Then there is only one path left: the Order Keeper.

Order Keepers are divided into many types. The target Qingyang chose is the Flowing Land Order Keeper.

However, killing 'officials' is something that, if not done well, will absolutely lead to utter disaster.

Just as Qingyang was contemplating the path he should take next, Jin Hua, who was nearby, looked at Qingyang's blood-red bone body and fell into thought.

Noticing Jin Hua's appearance, Qingyang turned his head to look at him.

"I have a method where I enter the fray myself, but the risk factor is too high. Are you willing?" Jin Hua said.

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Over the next few days of discussion, Qingyang finally understood Jin Hua's plan.

In the Inner Realm, flesh and blood are certainly the most precious, but ninety-nine percent of the beings still have bone bodies.

Bone bodies also vary in strength. Jin Hua's plan is for him to go into the city and secretly spread rumors, telling those above Ninth-Order that a valuable bone body, meaning Qingyang, has been discovered in the Flowing Land.

Although it is not permitted for bone spirits above Ninth-Order to leave the city.

But as long as the benefits are large enough, they will definitely take the risk, which is to sneak out.

By then, Jin Hua, as an Order Keeper, will certainly lead his small team to kill those bone spirits.

Furthermore, due to the appearance of the valuable bone body, it might even attract those semi-flesh existences like Pink Spirit's companion.

According to Jin Hua, with him acting as an inside source, although Qingyang's safety cannot be guaranteed, at the very least, if they encounter the most dangerous existences, Jin Hua will notify Qingyang immediately.

After listening to Jin Hua's arrangement, Qingyang immediately agreed to the matter.

However, this kind of chaotic slaughter cannot occur within the Flowing Land area for which Jin Hua is responsible.

Therefore, after Qingyang and Jin Hua agreed on a location, they went their separate ways.

Qingyang headed thirty thousand li west of Donglin City, while Jin Hua returned to Donglin City and began secretly spreading rumors.

In Donglin City, the news of a valuable bone body appearing in the Flowing Land began to spread rapidly, starting from who knows when.

"Did you hear? A valuable bone has appeared in the Flowing Land. Its bone body is scarlet like blood and incredibly hard."

"Your version is outdated. I heard it's the bone body of a peak Fifteenth-Order expert from the Blue Star Surface. If you obtain its bone body and inhabit it, your combat power can rival a 'Beginning'."

"No, no, no. I heard it was a 'Beginning' who came down, destroyed his flesh body, and wanted to walk another path, but by chance, his strength also plummeted."

"..."

These rumors became increasingly outlandish, but it must be admitted that they indeed caused the originally calm Donglin City to boil.

At first, everyone adopted a wait-and-see attitude, after all, leaving the city without permission was a great crime.

Until this day, when an Enforcer returned from the Flowing Land, holding a piece of bone only as thick as an arm, blood-red and resembling a gem, the eyes of all beings were attracted.

However, when this red bone, only as thick as an arm, was traded away by a mysterious expert for the price of five hundred jin of Tenth-Order flesh and blood, those who were watching completely lost their composure.

That same night, nine powerful bone spirits, along with their respective partners, secretly left Donglin City.

Leaving the city without permission is a great crime, and Jin Hua, this Order Keeper Captain, immediately ordered the pursuit and killing of those bone spirits.

Two days later, the Order Keeper team sent back a report of the battle, stating that they had killed six groups of experts and successfully escaped three groups.

Upon learning all this, Jin Hua was furious and immediately ordered a full search for the whereabouts of the three Bone Beasts and the three Humans.

The swift and decisive actions of the Order Keepers indeed deterred many bone spirits above Ninth-Order in the inner city, causing everyone to start watching again.

In the Flowing Land.

Having received a tip-off from Jin Hua, knowing that one peak Ninth-Order and two mid-Tenth-Order Bone Beasts, along with their respective partners, were being intentionally or unintentionally chased towards this area by Jin Hua and his team, Qingyang also immediately made preparations to appear at any time.

On this day, as the sound of the earth trembling appeared at the edge of the sky, Qingyang slightly twisted his blood-red, gem-like bone body and quickly appeared.

Qingyang, with only early Eighth-Order strength, felt it was about time, immediately twisted his bone body and fled into the distance in a panic.

On the other side, the three stowaways were already in despair at this point.

Because the Flowing Land was too vast, they had no idea where that valuable bone body was.

Furthermore, the Order Keepers behind them had locked onto them and were frantically pursuing them from behind.

At a certain moment, on the mid-Tenth-Order Bone Beast that was currently fleeing, a Human whose upper body was already entirely composed of flesh and blood suddenly saw a splash of blood-red at the edge of the wilderness.

"Am I hallucinating? Look at that."

As soon as he said this, the three Bone Beasts, as well as the two Humans beside them, immediately looked up and locked onto Qingyang.

"It's the valuable bone, it actually exists."

At this moment, the three stowaways noticed Qingyang's size and went crazy.

A piece of bone as thick as an arm could be exchanged for five hundred jin of flesh and blood.

Five hundred jin of flesh and blood! If the blood energy was sufficient, that could directly allow a Human to successfully reconstruct their flesh body in one go.

And what about that valuable bone body that was fleeing in the distance? Looking at its strength, it seemed to be only Eighth-Order.

But its size was a full three to four hundred meters.

By this point, these bone spirits who had snuck over had completely forgotten about the Order Keepers who were still chasing them from behind, their eyes only focused on that splash of blood-red that was frantically fleeing.

As the six bone spirits in front began to accelerate with all their might, the few Order Keepers were clearly unable to keep up with their speed.

In desperation, Jin Hua, this Eleventh-Order Captain, could only break away from the team first and chase forward.

The game of cat and mouse lasted for a full day, and Qingyang was also gradually caught up by the stowaways behind him due to his weak strength.

During this day, Jin Hua used his divine ability and had already killed one mid-Tenth-Order Bone Beast, as well as its partner, the Human whose body was already half flesh and blood.

At a certain moment, as Qingyang's figure got closer and closer, among the remaining two Humans, the peak Ninth-Order Human suddenly leaped from his Bone Beast and instantly landed on Qingyang.

Then, looking at the magnificent bone body on Qingyang, a flicker of greed flashed in his eyes, but he also knew his strength was weak, so he suddenly grabbed a section of bone only about a meter long from Qingyang's tail.

His entire body's energy erupted, he snapped it off fiercely, then turned and jumped back onto his bone spirit, and immediately said: "Retreat, don't be greedy."

As soon as he said this, the Bone Beast beneath him also turned its head to look at the mid-Tenth-Order Human not far away, and the mid-Tenth-Order Bone Beast beneath him, then immediately turned around and ran in another direction.
