Chapter 738: 1 Dragon Service
Xu Chen grew up in that short day; he found the path he wanted to take.
Family and such things are completely unreliable.
Relying on mountains will lead to their collapse, relying on boats will lead to their departure; only by relying on oneself can one go far.
"Mother, let's leave the Xu family. I will cultivate diligently and protect you."
Xu Chen forcibly handed the bone to the Second Madam, the boy's eyes filled with unwavering determination.
The second madam smiled bitterly as she stared at the warm divine bone, then handed it to Xiao Ling'er, saying, "Girl, I have no way to repay your great kindness, so I'll give you this bone."
"No, no, Ling'er has the forbidden bloodline of the ancient phoenix, she doesn't need the divine bone."
Little Ling'er shook her head and refused without hesitation.
Although she was young, she understood that the trouble today stemmed from the divine bone. As the princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, she possessed an unparalleled path and did not need to rely on the foundation of others.
"Ling'er, please accept this. If it weren't for you, my mother and I would have been killed by them today."
Xu Chen also persuaded Xiao Ling'er to keep the divine bone. Xiao Ling'er's foundation was extraordinary. If she fused with the divine bone, she would definitely be able to go further in the future. Perhaps she could break through the void and ascend to heaven like the legendary great figures.
"Ling'er doesn't want to ascend to heaven! Ling'er wants to stay with her father and mother, her eldest and second brothers, her grandmother, her eldest aunt, her youngest aunt, and oh yes, her second aunt..."
Little Ling'er counted on her fingers the people who were most important to her.
"Grandmother?" The Second Madam and Xu Chen were taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Ling'er, where did you come from?"
Little Ling'er tilted her head, "Lizhou."
Leaving the continent?
The mother and son looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.
Could it be that……
Xu Chen asked cautiously, "Who is the Holy Emperor of Great Xia to you?"
"It's Ling'er's father."
Without hesitation, Xiao Ling'er blurted out the answer, causing both mother and son to gasp in surprise.
Good heavens, no wonder she's so extraordinary at such a young age, she's actually the Princess of the Great Xia Dynasty, the daughter of the current Holy Emperor!
Who was Chen Futu?
He slaughtered peerless experts across the Northern and Central Regions, and even the Great Emperor shed his blood at his hands!
"Ling'er, keep this divine bone safe."
The second wife forcibly gave the divine bone to Xiao Ling'er.
Previously, the gift of divine bones was to repay a debt of gratitude. Now, in addition to repaying that debt, the gift of divine bones is also intended to help Xu Chen plan a future.
Xiao Ling'er was about to refuse, but unexpectedly, the Ancient Phoenix True Fire on her body enveloped the divine bone. The True Fire refined the bone, and the bone cooperated perfectly, hovering around Xiao Ling'er until it was melted into a ball of pinkish-gold liquid, which finally rushed towards the little girl.
"Hey, don't come any closer!"
Little Ling'er couldn't dodge it; the pinkish-gold liquid quietly seeped into her brow.
Inside the thatched cottage, Chen Futu watched all of this with a tense expression.
Fu Shuang said, "The Ancient Phoenix bloodline automatically refined the divine bone, which will perfectly integrate into Xiao Ling'er's body. As she becomes stronger, the most suitable divine bone will grow in her body, which is much better than directly extracting it."
"As long as there are no negative impacts, it's fine."
Chen Futu was worried that his daughter's character was flawed. After absorbing the refined divine liquid, divine bones would grow in her body. This was similar to taking pills, but ultimately different from directly replacing bones.
"Unexpectedly, the once glorious Xu family has come to an end."
Suddenly, powerful figures surrounded the ruins of the Xu family. These were the other two major families of Dafeng City, one surnamed Zhou and the other surnamed Han.
Originally, the three major families maintained a balance in Dafeng City. Now, the internal strife within the Xu family has given the Zhou and Han families an opportunity. If they destroy the Xu family today, they can take the opportunity to plunder the market and mines occupied by the Xu family.
"You bunch of bastards, how dare you kick someone when they're down!"
Xu's family members struggled to stand up, only to be stabbed to death.
"Heh heh, who can you blame for your infighting? I hereby declare that, effective today, the Xu family is expelled from Dafeng City!"
Wild laughter echoed through the sky.
This is a one-sided massacre. Most of the Xu family members have suffered heavy losses and have no room for resistance.
Screams echoed through the ruins.
"Mother, Ling'er, let's go."
Xu Chen no longer considers himself a member of the Xu family. From the day he was born, the Xu family has brought him only hatred and boundless humiliation. Now that the Xu family is collapsing and everyone is pushing it down, what does it have to do with him?
Xu Chen tried to leave, but the two major families attacked him.
"Ling'er is not afraid of you!"
After Chen Ling'er absorbed the divine liquid, her cultivation level remained unchanged. However, as she grew older and her realm improved, the bones that grew out would automatically fuse with the inherited techniques. No one knew just how powerful a girl with two forbidden talents would become.
Chen Ling'er unleashed the wordless stele, and wherever the stele went, the powerful figures of the two major families were all turned into blood mist and exploded.
"That girl is strange, kill her first!"
At the command of the Han family head, two powerful Grand Venerables descended to surround and kill him.
Little Ling'er pouted and unleashed the Ancient Phoenix True Fire and the Wordless Stele. The two Great Venerables barely managed to resist before suffering severe injuries. Their foundations and killing power were on completely different levels, a gap that could not be crossed between a prodigy and an ordinary expert.
"What a strange girl! Martial Venerable, come at me too!"
Xiao Ling'er's power made the two major families wary, and in an instant, everyone rushed over.
Chen Ling'er said triumphantly, "You've come at the right time! Ling'er will learn from Aunt Xiaobai and beat you all to a pulp."
The little girl had practically mastered the art of using the Jiezi Stele. The stele was imbued with true fire, transforming into a path of flames that crisscrossed and swept across the land. Any opponent that came near it was first killed by the impact, and then burned to ashes by the true fire.
"Wow, a one-stop funeral service, even the cost of cremation is saved."
The strongmen on the street were talking about it, marveling at the little girl's fighting power. She was a humanoid beast, with real fire in her left hand and a brick in her right, capable of killing and burying at will.
"That little brat is too troublesome; we beg Mr. Cao for help!"
Suddenly, the head of the Han family shouted, and then an old man's laughter descended. It was an old man, a saint, who landed on the dilapidated wall with his hands behind his back, like a hermit.
"saint!"
The Xu family was in despair.
They could hardly withstand the combined attacks of the two major families. Now that the Sage has descended, is the Xu family about to face its end?
"I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled at all!"
"Damn it, it's all Xu Long's fault! If he hadn't coveted the precious bone, my Xu family wouldn't be in this state!"
The clansmen hated Xu Long and his wife to the core, but it was too late to say anything now.
Knowing the Sage's power, Xiao Ling'er used divine fire to imitate the pilgrim in Chen Futu's story, drawing a circle of fire for the Second Madam and her son, instructing them to stay inside and not leave without permission, as she wanted to meet the Sage.
"Ling'er, don't be impulsive!"
The second lady was greatly alarmed. A saint was not just a great sage, and the other party was likely a high-level saint.
"Don't worry, Auntie, Ling'er is going to hit him."
Xiao Ling'er summoned the Nine Heavens Wings to teleport there. The Holy King surnamed Cao remained calm and casually struck Xiao Ling'er, who had just teleported there. Fortunately, the Panlong Qi automatically activated to protect her body, and then the wordless stele slammed into the other party's face.
