132: Yao
Qingtian's silence did not make Qingyang back down; instead, he stared straight at the other party.
After a long time, Qingtian finally looked up and said slowly to Qingyang, "His name is Yao. That's all I can tell you.
You haven't reached a certain level of strength yet. The only thing you need to know is that I, both of us, have no ill intentions towards you. That's enough."
"Yao," Qingyang thought to himself.
Qingyang didn't know much about Yao and had always thought he was a madman.
But from the scene his true body saw at the time, that Senior Yao showed no signs of madness; he was clearly a normal person.
Although he didn't know that Yao, Qingyang understood Qingtian.
After two years of getting along, Qingtian's importance to Qingyang was self-evident. The other party always seemed like a life-saving talisman, protecting Qingyang.
Therefore, regarding what Qingtian said, the only thing Qingyang could do was to work hard to improve his strength in the coming days, so that one day he could truly understand the things he didn't understand now.
The matter of the mysterious deaths of a hundred Humans powerhouses in Dong Gou City was ultimately not concealed.
The main reason was that these Humans powerhouses each had their own Bone Beast partners.
With the bond of partnership, when a Human died, many Bone Beasts would sense it immediately.
But because they didn't know how their Human partners died, and it was a large-scale death, in desperation, Dong Gou City could only dispatch powerhouses to start investigating.
In the opinion of Dong Gou City, any existence capable of killing numerous twelfth and eleventh-tier Humans on such a large scale must be a powerhouse of the thirteenth tier or higher.
Therefore, to investigate this matter, Dong Gou City immediately dispatched a thirteenth-tier powerhouse.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Although this thirteenth-tier powerhouse assigned to thoroughly investigate this matter didn't know where to start, his connections knew how.
So, after asking a friend how to investigate this matter, this thirteenth-tier powerhouse actually borrowed a War Pet from his friend, who was also a thirteenth-tier powerhouse.
A Sky Sniffing Dog, a Fierce Beast with strength reaching the peak of the twelfth tier.
In a place like the Inner Realm, any Fierce Beast that can condense flesh and blood is at least in the ranks of Exotic Beasts, as Fierce Beasts that are too ordinary are not qualified to obtain blood energy.
The Sky Sniffing Dog is a pseudo-Divine Beast, and its main ability is tracking.
As soon as the Sky Sniffing Dog joined the investigation of this matter, this powerhouse was led by the Sky Sniffing Dog to the rocky area where Liu Jian was previously located.
Furthermore, after some searching, the Sky Sniffing Dog went directly into the mountain hollow and said, "It's here. The disappearance of these hundred-plus Humans powerhouses should have been led by one person.
According to my senses, their scents all point to one place."
As he spoke, the Sky Sniffing Dog also looked up towards the Flowing Land.
The Flowing Land is vast and boundless; almost eighty percent of the entire Inner Realm is Flowing Land.
Because the area is so large, it is also full of various uncertainties.
Similar to the recent widely discussed matter of the Bone Treasure Body in the neighboring city.
So, upon investigating to this point, this thirteenth-tier powerhouse could only report to the higher-ups on how to proceed.
Over a hundred powerhouses in Dong Gou City were killed. If this matter had no resolution, it would inevitably cause panic in the city.
Ultimately, the higher-ups gave only one command: "Investigate, at all costs."
For this, this thirteenth-tier powerhouse immediately invited his equally strong companion, brought their own Fierce Beast partners, and directly pursued into the Flowing Land.
Two peak thirteenth-tier Humans powerhouses, one peak thirteenth-tier Exotic Beast, and one peak twelfth-tier pseudo-Divine Beast.
This combination could be said to be fully capable of handling any situation in the Flowing Land.
In just three days, led by the Sky Sniffing Dog, these two thirteenth-tier powerhouses arrived at the place where Qingyang first wiped out a small team.
Subsequently, the Sky Sniffing Dog led the two of them to explore other areas and gradually began to learn the truth.
...
Inside the Sky Cave.
Just as the three thirteenth-tier powerhouses and the peak twelfth-tier Sky Sniffing Dog were getting closer to the truth and finding Qingyang's location,
Qingyang, at this time, had also reached the critical point of breakthrough.
As Qingyang's aura approached the eleventh tier, his entire Bone Dragon body's color became increasingly faint. The fifth evolution, compared to the previous ones, didn't show significant changes.
The transition from emerald green to cyan made everyone present extremely excited, as if the one undergoing the transformation at this moment was themselves.
To be honest, the path Qingyang chose is a path that everyone could choose.
But this path is too difficult, so even knowing that this path would lead to greater strength, no one was willing to choose it.
Having their strength reset to zero eight times, essentially re-walking the path they had already traveled from the beginning eight times, no one had such great determination.
After all, each time the strength was reset to zero, it was equivalent to handing over their lives to others.
"Buzz~"
Just as Qingyang's aura completely stabilized at the eleventh tier and he was still absorbing the scattered Bone Beast energy around him to continuously stabilize his strength,
Qingtian, who had been quietly in the distance, suddenly looked up at the sky.
"Alas, there are fewer chances to act each time. Don't disappoint us," after the murmuring sound, Qingtian's entire body flashed violently, instantly disappearing into the Sky Cave.
Because Qingtian had always been in that two-meter-long form, his body was small, and coupled with his silent departure, the people present didn't notice at all.
Two days later, when two Human corpses were suddenly thrown down from above the Sky Cave, it startled everyone, including Qingyang himself.
One must know that these two Humans powerhouses, even though they were already dead, the fluctuations emitted from their bodies indicated their strength to everyone present.
Peak thirteenth tier.
Before everyone present could be shocked, a pitch-black, slender Fierce Beast, a thin dog with a body length of a hundred meters, also crashed down with a "thump."
Subsequently, another strange Fierce Beast, over four hundred meters long, resembling a gecko, with a dusty gray body, radiating a peak thirteenth-tier aura, was also thrown down.
The appearance of these massive resources left everyone present stunned.
In contrast, Qingtian acted as if nothing had happened. After throwing down the last Fierce Beast, he quickly came down from above and curled up in a corner, his body devoid of energy.
Noticing Qingyang's gaze, Qingtian said softly, "I don't have many chances to act. There are certain limits that you need to grasp well.
I believe you should know what the consequences are if you don't grasp this limit."
Regarding the limit Qingtian spoke of, Qingyang was certainly clear, so as he looked at the two thirteenth-tier powerhouses and the two Fierce Beast corpses, he began to ponder.
The ultimate growth limit of Blue Star determines the talent for growth in the Inner Realm.
Hong Zong's strength back then was at the peak of the eleventh-tier Divine Beast, allowing him to reach this level at the fastest speed.
However, the resources Hong Zong needed to break through from the peak of the eleventh tier to the twelfth tier were more than ten times what was expected.
