"I am Tong Bo, a member of the Tong clan. Why are you making things difficult for our Tong clan, senior?" Tong Bo was actually able to speak.
"Interesting, very interesting. You are clearly only at the peerless realm, so how can you resist my sword intent?" Dugu Jian did not answer, but instead raised a question.
"Tong Bo? The Tong clan?"
At this moment, Dugu Qiubai regained his mobility. He approached and said, "I am the Third Dragon Leader of the Azure Dragon Society, and that is Zhang Daoling, the Sixth Dragon Leader. As for this Sword Saint, he is also a member of our society. We came to Shuiyue Cave Heaven precisely to subdue this place for the Azure Dragon Society. Since you are a member of the Tong clan, are you willing to submit?"
Tong Bo felt the pressure increase dramatically. Before him stood three powerful figures—Zhang Daoling, who wielded lightning; Dugu Jian, who froze time and space; and the unfathomable Dugu Qiubai. Even at the height of their power, the Tong clan might not have been able to defeat them, let alone now that their patriarch had just passed away, the elders were in trouble, and only he, his two brothers, and the reclusive cultivator remained as potential fighters.
What worried him even more was that the Azure Dragon Society, mentioned by Dugu Qiubai, clearly had an even higher-level power behind it. Faced with such a powerful force, and at a time when his clansmen were at their weakest, he seemed to have no other choice.
"I'll give you ten breaths to consider. If you don't agree by then, the Tong clan has no reason to exist." Dugu Qiubai saw through Tong Bo's hesitation and said no more. He lightly pointed his sword, and the weapons around Tong Bo immediately trembled, floating and pointing at his vital points.
"The Tong clan...is willing to submit to the Azure Dragon Society." Tong Bo sighed, ultimately choosing to compromise. After saying this, he traversed space and arrived at the Imperial Sword Manor.
Dugu Jian and Zhang Daoling simultaneously removed the restrictions.
"Brother, why did you agree..."
Although Tong Zhan was unable to move his body just now, he heard everything clearly.
"That's enough." Tong Bo clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, saying crisply, "Tong Bo pays his respects to the Three Dragon Heads, the Six Dragon Heads, and the Sword Saint."
Since his surrender was a foregone conclusion, he didn't hesitate.
Dugu Qiubai smiled faintly.
"Take us to find the core of the Water Moon Cave."
Unless one is as all-knowing as Ximen Yu, who can compress a blessed land into his sleeve, ordinary people can only control the size of a blessed land through its core.
Tong Bo looked troubled and hesitated before saying:
"Although the Tong clan is the head of the Water Moon Grotto, we do not know the location of its core..."
Zhang Daoling frowned slightly.
"Did you not control the core?"
"really……"
Tong Bo gave a wry smile and began to explain.
Chapter 125 Water Moon Cave Sky
It turns out that the core of the Water Moon Cave Heaven is none other than the shattered treasure—the Spirit Mirror.
However, five hundred years ago, General Long Teng used the power of the magic mirror to kill Yin Zhong, causing the mirror to disappear without a trace...
Upon hearing this, the three were speechless for a moment; the matter was indeed thorny.
Suddenly, a furious dragon roar resounded through the sky.
Amidst the rolling dark clouds, a ferocious black dragon burst through the sky.
Dugu Qiubai and the other two sharpened their eyes and immediately recognized the person.
The transformation of a human body into a dragon is already extraordinary, let alone if one could obtain its essence and blood secrets and offer them to the dragon's head, which would surely be a great achievement.
Without prior arrangement, the three of them each displayed their unique skills.
Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique!
Everything is a sword!
Yin Zhong lay dormant for five hundred years, suffering greatly from the old wounds of the Spirit Mirror.
Having hidden away in the Imperial Sword Manor until now, all I seek is the Spirit Mirror to eradicate my incurable disease.
Unexpectedly, I learned from Tong Bo today that the Spirit Mirror had been lost long ago!
Driven by rage, he no longer held back and vowed to slaughter the entire Tong family to vent his anger.
Faced with the three-person attack, Yin Zhong roared, his body surging with black energy, and the pressure of the late stage of the Mythical Realm suddenly erupted.
"Late stage of the Mythical Realm?!"
The expressions of Dugu Qiubai and the other two changed drastically.
Although he is far inferior to Ximen Yu, such cultivation is still extremely rare in the entire land!
Enraged, Yin Zhong's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Since you're courting death, then go to hell with these two remnants of the Tong clan!"
He endured his injuries and channeled all his inner strength.
Faced with the combined attack of the three masters, he did not hesitate to unleash the secret divine power of the Tong clan.
The Tong clan has a long history, dating back to ancient times.
The clan members are born with extraordinary abilities; even newborn infants can sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
With a little practice of the Tong family's secret techniques, one can master the power of heaven and earth at the Innate Realm.
Tong Yinzhong perused the clan's ancient records and discovered that a clansman had once broken through the Void Shattering Realm and achieved godhood.
The secret lies in simultaneously practicing the Tong Family Secret Technique and the Dragon God Skill.
He disregarded clan rules and prohibitions and secretly practiced the Dragon God Technique.
The fusion of the two indeed caused his cultivation level to surge.
Before he even reached the age of forty, he had already reached the realm of mythology, his strength unparalleled in the world.
Later, his identity was exposed by Long Teng, and Yin Zhong transformed into a dragon and escaped.
At this moment, he knew that if he did not go all out, he would find it difficult to defeat the three people in front of him.
My anger is surging!
Only the magic mirror can heal his old wounds.
But Tong Bo claimed that the magic mirror had already been lost.
How can heal his wounds?
How can we take revenge on the Tong clan?
Five hundred years of forbearance had consumed his reason with hatred.
Since there is no hope of recovery, let's fight to the death and sever the Tong family bloodline!
Tong Bo and Tong Zhan must die!
Yin Zhong unleashed his full power, drawing together the spiritual energy of heaven and earth under the guidance of his profound techniques.
The black dragon gently swayed its tail, and the dark clouds in the sky crashed down like a mountain of immense weight.
The violent power caused cracks to appear in the void of this grotto-heaven...
This place is ultimately just a secret realm, incomparable to the vast world outside.
Yin Zhong exerted his full power, and the force of his attack exceeded the limits that this world could withstand.
Their power and influence were so overwhelming that they were terrifying!
"Well done! Five Thunder Orthodox Method!"
Zhang Daoling was not afraid but rather pleased. Since joining the Azure Dragon Society and following Ximen Yu, he had received guidance from the Great Dragon Leader and his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had already been listed on the Heavenly Dao Golden List.
But as his strength improved, fewer and fewer opponents were willing to fight him with all his might.
Now, a formidable enemy like Yin Zhong is exactly what I've been hoping for.
He held nothing back, and his vast true essence surged forth.
He drew upon all the thunderous power in the world.
Driven by the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Technique, Zhang Daoling summoned the thunder from the nine heavens, which transformed into dazzling lightning that shot straight towards the cloud-covered mountain peak.
Count me in!
A fighting spirit flashed in Dugu Jian's eyes. Since comprehending Sword Twenty-Three, he had not yet unleashed his full power. Faced with Yin Zhong's earth-shattering might, even with Zhang Daoling's powerful lightning technique, he was still uneasy. He immediately activated his peerless sword technique, freezing space and time within a ten-mile radius. Sharp sword energy followed closely behind the lightning, pointing directly at Yin Zhong.
"How could we possibly be absent from such a scene?"
Dugu Qiubai laughed loudly, his past defeat at the hands of Ximen Yu now serving as a driving force. His swordsmanship had reached an even higher level, attaining the supreme realm where everything could be a sword. With a casual wave of his hand, the breeze, birds, clouds, and wild grass all transformed into sharp swords, even the very energy of heaven and earth was enveloped by his sword intent, forming an overwhelming sword aura that pressed down upon the dark cloud mountain peak.
Yin Zhong roared repeatedly, but was secretly alarmed. If it weren't for his old injuries, these three would be no match for him. Yet, fighting them while injured, he was actually evenly matched with them.
Thunder and fire crisscrossed the sky, and icy sword energy raged, leaving Tong Zhan and Yin Tianxue dumbfounded.
"This...this is like gods fighting..."
Tong Bo stared intently at the battle, his mind filled with doubt. Although he didn't know Yin Zhong, he recognized the Dragon God Technique and the Tong Clan's secret art that the other was using. The fact that these two extraordinary skills possessed such power in his hands made him even more puzzled about the true identity of this black dragon.
In the heat of battle, Yin Zhong vomited large spurts of blood every time he activated his magic, his soul nearly torn apart.
"Since you insist on throwing your lives away..."
The black dragon suddenly roared to the sky, and the primordial energy of the eastern world gathered wildly, gradually revealing golden patterns in the void.
Tong Bo recognized this as the most profound magic of the Tong clan—a barrier!
Normally, a barrier can only cover a range of ten miles, but Yin Zhong was able to set up a barrier that covered a hundred miles, almost draining the spiritual energy of the Water Moon Cave.
"We cannot stand idly by, otherwise their defeat will endanger the Tong clan!"
Tong Bo made up his mind, circulated his true energy, and transformed into a white dragon that soared into the sky!
Yin Tianxue exclaimed in surprise, "Your elder brother also knows the Dragon God Skill?"
Tong Zhan had no intention of responding; he was only focused on staring at the sky in shock.
Yin Zhong wondered, "He is clearly a member of the Tong clan, so how can he use the Dragon God Technique?"
Seeing that Tong Bo had taken the initiative to make a move, he immediately diverted some of his power and activated the barrier to leave.
Dugu Qiubai and the other two watched coldly, thinking to themselves, "How dare a mere peerless expert interfere in the battle of myths?"
The white dragon was struck hard by the barrier, and its blood splattered across the sky!
"Big brother!" Tong Zhan was devastated, thinking that Tong Bo was surely dead.
But the next moment-
A golden light suddenly appeared, illuminating all directions in an instant!
The primordial energy of heaven and earth suddenly revived, becoming even more abundant than before.
The four men, including Yin Zhong, stopped fighting and were bathed in golden light. Even Yin Zhong's injuries were somewhat relieved.
As the light faded, an ancient bronze mirror appeared in the sky—the Spirit Mirror!
The previously severely injured White Dragon has fully recovered.
"A spirit mirror?!" Yin Zhong's pupils contracted, his heart filled with shock.
The black dragon soared into the sky, stirring up a sky full of dark clouds, and pounced towards the Spirit Mirror. Zhang Daoling's expression was solemn as he turned to Dugu Qiubai: "Third Master, the mission entrusted to us by the Grand Master cannot be failed. We must not let Yin Zhong take away the Spirit Mirror."
Dugu Qiubai sighed helplessly, "Very well, since it was bestowed by the Grand Master, I will use it today for the task he has entrusted to me." He recalled that he had already depleted some of the sword jade's power when he accompanied Dugu Jian to the World Association last time.
The situation was critical. If this last resort wasn't used, the Spirit Mirror would likely fall into Yin Zhong's hands. Dugu Qiubai no longer hesitated and threw out the sword jade.
"A mere jade pendant dares to obstruct me?" Yin Zhong thought disdainfully, his dragon head held high, completely disregarding the sword jade. As the sword jade flew closer, a vast Daoist aura suddenly burst forth, instantly sealing off the entire world.
Yin Zhong's pupils contracted sharply, and the disdain on his dragon-like face vanished completely. This power far surpassed the aura of Long Teng wielding the Divine Dragon Sword; he had only seen scattered records of it in the Tong Clan's ancient texts—it belonged to the power of gods and demons!
The dazzling light grew stronger and stronger, the Daoist principles materialized, and the faint sound of the Great Dao echoed within. Yin Zhong understood that if he waited for this power to fully erupt, he would surely die.
"I'll leave the Spirit Mirror with you for now!" Yin Zhong glanced unwillingly at the treasure so close at hand, then hurriedly channeled all his power, transforming into a black shadow and escaping from the Water Moon Cave. Before leaving, he roared, "When I return, I will retrieve the Spirit Mirror and slaughter the entire Tong family!"
With a flash of sword light, he was not allowed to escape easily.
The mighty black dragon was now like a trapped beast, frantically twisting its body in an attempt to break free.
Ximen Yu's sword energy was like a net, cutting off all escape routes.
"Too late? Am I, Yin Zhong, really going to die here today?"
Regret and resentment surged into my heart like a tide.
If I had known this would happen, I should have ignored Dugu Qiubai and the other two in the first place.
Unfortunately, there is never a way back in this world.
Just as the black dragon was about to perish, the sky was suddenly torn apart by a gigantic hand that blotted out the heavens.
