The Extreme Alchemist of the Mighty Cauldron
Chapter 1457 - Chapter 1457 Chapter 1555 The Hope of Resurrection

Chapter 1457: Chapter 1555: The Hope of Resurrection Chapter 1457: Chapter 1555: The Hope of Resurrection The seductively poised White Fox masked figure entered the main hall, and the high-ranking members of the Long Family present were all prepared for battle, their eyes fixed on this uninvited guest who had suddenly appeared, fearing that the White Fox masked person might suddenly strike against them.

After all, there had been an incident at the Wandal Conference where a White Crane masked individual battled the Western Moon King, and in everyone’s eyes, these masked figures were extraordinary in strength, true experts among experts, definitely not to be underestimated.

Some of the Long Family’s higher-ups secretly activated their Spirit Eye, trying to see the true face of the masked person.

Unexpectedly, the somewhat flirtatious White Fox mask had the ability to block the probing of Spirit Eye, rendering it impossible to see the face beneath the mask, even with Spirit Eye activated.

“There’s no need for everyone to worry so much. I’m only here to say a few words; I have no intention of making enemies with the Long Family,” the White Fox masked person said with a light smile.

“If you’re not here to make an enemy of the Long Family, then why break into the Long Family Ancestral Mansion uninvited? Such actions, isn’t this taking the Long Family too lightly?” Mr. Long Wu, the highest-ranking individual among those present, spoke.

Among the nine brothers of the Long Family, the Family Head Dragon Haotian ranked first, and the rest were all in seclusion, preparing for the coming major event, so the high-level meetings of the Long Family were generally presided over by Mr. Long Wu.

“Do you expect me to stand outside the Long Family Ancestral Mansion, knock on the door with my mask on, and then walk in openly and honorably?” the White Fox masked person said, with a hint of sarcasm in their voice.

The Long Family members looked at each other; indeed, that wouldn’t be appropriate–if the outside world found out that the Long Family was in contact with the Sky Swallowing Palace, that would be rather troublesome.

At this critical time, the Long Family was poised to soar high and take control of the fate of the Nine Countries. The Sky Swallowing Palace, a new force that had emerged suddenly, was mysteriously unfathomable; friend or foe was still unclear. It would be best to avoid provocation if possible.

“What exactly do you want to say by coming here?” Mr. Long Wu frowned deeply.

The White Fox masked person glanced over the faces of many high-ranking officials of the Long Family and then said, “Please pass on a message to the Chief of the Dragon Family. The Sky Swallowing Palace is willing to cooperate with the Long Family to help realize the Long Family’s great endeavor.”

After speaking, the White Fox masked person turned to leave.

“Is the Long Family a place where you think you can come and go as you please?” An imposing voice arose as Dragon Haotian, clad in white, suddenly descended from the sky, standing in front of the White Fox masked person.

The White Fox masked person stopped in their tracks, the eyes beneath the mask remaining calm, seemingly unsurprised by Dragon Haotian’s sudden appearance.

Dragon Haotian had an indifferent expression and, after appearing, did not utter any unnecessary words. He reached out his left hand, directly attempting to remove the mask from the White Fox masked person’s face.

The White Fox masked person let out a bell-like playful laugh but did not move, allowing Dragon Haotian’s left hand to touch them.

But the moment Dragon Haotian’s left hand touched the mask, the White Fox masked person vanished on the spot like a puff of green smoke.

Dragon Haotian’s gaze sharpened, a sweep of his sleeve, and the White Fox masked person completely disappeared from sight.

“Chief of the Dragon Family, if you are enemies with my Sky Swallowing Palace, the grand matter you have in mind has no chance of succeeding,” came the White Fox masked person’s final voice, sounding both distant and near, elusive and uncertain.

Dragon Haotian’s face showed alternating expressions of light and dark, his thoughts at the moment unknown.

“Family Head, you let that masked person leave just like that?” a high-ranking member of the Long Family spoke up.

“That person, I cannot stop alone,” Dragon Haotian said indifferently.

“Has the Family Head already figured out who that White Fox masked person is?” The high-ranking members of the Long Family all looked at Dragon Haotian.

“I have some conjectures,” said Dragon Haotian, then disappeared from the spot.

Ancient Demon Ridge, beneath the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, lay two Demon Bones belonging to Fang Lin.

Seven years ago, Fang Lin braved the Taoist Sect’s Seven Stars Tower to save Dugu Nian and ultimately perished at the hands of that woman in the black dress.

However, although his flesh had perished, these two Demon Bones were enwrapped by Fang Lin’s soul and subsequently brought back.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven extracted these Demon Bones from Fang Lin’s soul and brought them back to Ancient Demon Ridge, intending to use the Sacred Tree’s power to awaken the Demon Bones.

These were Fang Lin’s Demon Bones, once intimately connected with his flesh and vitality, a part of Fang Lin’s body.

Within these two Demon Bones might reside a trace of Fang Lin’s flesh essence, or perhaps a sliver of his life force.

Should they awaken either, they could utilize the Power of the Sacred Tree to reconstruct Fang Lin’s physical body.

Holding such intentions, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven placed the two Demon Bones under the Sacred Tree. Seven years passed, yet there was no sign of activity.

Fang Lin’s life force did not stir; instead, the two Demon Bones absorbed a tremendous amount of the Sacred Tree’s power, their aura growing increasingly more potent, much stronger than when within Fang Lin’s body.

But this was not what the Great Sage Equal to Heaven wished to see; no matter how strong the aura of the Demon Bones, it was futile if it could not awaken Fang Lin–that was of utmost importance.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven also wondered whether Fang Lin truly could no longer be revived–perhaps not even a hint of life force remained. Otherwise, why had there been no reaction when the Sacred Tree continuously nurtured the Demon Bones for seven years?

Recently, however, the Kylin Demon Bone had finally shown some response, revealing a fleeting and unusual aura.

But it was a mere flash and gone, so quick that not even a powerful being like the Great Sage Equal to Heaven could detect it; he even doubted if it was merely his own illusion.

“There it is again!” exclaimed the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, watching the Kylin Demon Bone.

Another unusual aura briefly surged within the Kylin Demon Bone, this time slightly more intense than before; fleeting though it was, it brought the Great Sage Equal to Heaven profound joy.

“Kid, you’ve got one tough soul. To have nothing left after your death, yet a trace of life strongly clings within the Demon Bone,” the Great Sage Equal to Heaven muttered, his monkey eyes fixated on the Kylin Demon Bone.

After watching for three days, as the aura emerged again, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven finally eased his worries.

“Once the flesh is regathered, and that young soul is drawn out, true revival is possible. What a hassle, to think that I, Old Sun, would encounter such troublesome matters. If it weren’t for the sake of your old man, this Saint would hardly bother with such affairs,” the Great Sage Equal to Heaven grumbled, yet he was ceaselessly vigilant beside the two Demon Bones.

With the foremost expert in the land as their guardian, nothing could possibly go wrong with the two Demon Bones.

But then, an unexpected event occurred.

The low and sprout-like Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree suddenly burst into golden light, enveloping the two Demon Bones. The Great Sage Equal to Heaven was stunned, clueless as to what was happening.

In the next instant, under the golden light’s radiance, the two Demon Bones merged into the Demon Clan’s Sacred Tree, as though they were directly consumed by it.

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven was dumbfounded. What in the world was happening? Did the Sacred Tree just devour the two Demon Bones?

Had it also “eaten” Fang Lin?
