Creation of the Universe

Chapter 145 Dragon Tooth Crystal Soul

The fire in the Deacon Hall could not be put out after all. Tieya's face was covered with smoke and he looked extremely ugly.

In other words, Xu Qingzhao was still in seclusion, otherwise, seeing this mess, she would definitely investigate thoroughly, and by then, Tieya's actions would no longer be concealed.

Fortunately, there is still some time left in the retreat, and he has plenty of time to deal with the aftermath.

A disciple stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Master, shouldn't we chase them out immediately? We can't let those two thieves get away like this."

"Chase? What good will it do even if you catch them? What can you guys do?"

Tieya gritted his teeth and said with deep disgust, "The most urgent task is to spread the news that Shen Zhan colluded with the demon clan and trespassed into the forbidden area in the back mountain to everyone in the sect. From now on, he will be the number one public enemy of Shangxuan Sect. Once his whereabouts are discovered, report to me immediately!"

"Yes, uncle."

Tieya did this to first confirm Shen Zhan's guilt. In this way, even if the head of the sect investigated, the worst that could happen was that Shen Zhan deliberately broke into the forbidden area and had ulterior motives.

"Shen Zhan is fine, but the fox demon beside him is very troublesome. We have to find a way to kill her."

Tieya stroked his beard and muttered to himself.

On the way down the mountain, Su Yu asked Shen Zhan, "That old Taoist priest with a big nose wanted to use you, but it backfired. I guess you must have had some unexpected gains in the Dragon Bone Cave this time?"

Shen Zhan immediately took out the dragon tooth and showed it to Su Yu, "This is what Tieya has been trying so hard to get.

He first instigated the young Taoist priest to enter the cave to steal the dragon's tooth, but there was a restriction attached to the dragon's tooth. After he succeeded, he was killed by the restriction, and this restriction could only take effect once, which meant that the young Taoist priest used his own life to break the restriction.

Next, Tieya will need to use another person to enter the Dragon Bone Cave. On the surface, he wants to rescue the young Taoist priest and find him alive or dead, but in fact, he only wants the dragon tooth on the young Taoist priest.

Su Yu stretched out her palm and swept it over the dragon tooth. She immediately sensed the mystery in the dragon tooth.

"The aura of the Demon Sect... It seems that someone from the Demon Sect successfully entered the Dragon Bone Cave and obtained this dragon tooth. Unfortunately, he didn't make it out alive."

"That's right. There was another disciple from the Shangxuan Sect in the cave with a high level of cultivation. He successfully stopped him, and they both died in the end. Before his death, the Demon Sect figure placed a restriction on the Dragon Fang. From now on, the first person to touch the Dragon Fang will be killed by the restriction.

Then, he sealed a layer of crystal soul on the dragon tooth. I don't know the specific purpose of this."

Su Yu pondered for a moment and guessed, "Dragon Tooth... Crystal Soul... I think the Demon Sect member felt they couldn't take the Dragon Tooth away, and they didn't want it to be taken by the Upper Xuan Sect in the future, so they did this on purpose. This layer of Crystal Soul seals the Dragon Tooth's power, and it's extremely difficult to remove."

"Anyway, just put it away for now. When you find a way to break through this layer of crystal soul, the dragon tooth will definitely be of use to you in the future."

Shen Zhan said, "This thing belongs to the Shangxuan Sect. I got it by chance. I will return it to its original owner when I have the chance."

"You actually look down on dragon teeth? This is the tooth of a real dragon. How many real dragons are there in the world nowadays?"

"Although this thing is good, it can also be a disaster. I'm not stupid."

Before Shen Zhan finished speaking, Su Yu beside him suddenly became alert, and her reaction was much faster than Shen Zhan's.

"Be careful, a master is coming."

At Su Yu's reminder, Shen Zhan turned his head and looked forward, only to see an old Taoist priest in a white Taoist robe walking slowly towards him.

"Master Xu?"

Shen Zhan looked at Xu Qingzhao in some surprise, but the latter seemed to take it for granted, with the same kind smile on her face as when they first met.

"Mr. Shen is leaving?"

"It's caused quite a bit of trouble. How can I continue to disturb you? I'll just hand this thing back to the Sect Leader."

Shen Zhan threw the dragon tooth to Xu Qingzhao and then asked, "Master Xu, aren't you in seclusion?"

Xu Qingzhao smiled brightly and said, "As for me, seclusion is nothing more than self-cultivation and a quiet escape. With a mission like Shang Xuanzong, I am tired of the daily trivialities. It is necessary to take a break from work occasionally."

"I didn't expect the Sect Leader to be so frank and free-spirited. Your state of mind has long surpassed that of most people."

"Mr. Shen, I'm not here for the Dragon Fang this time, but to thank you."

Xu Qingzhao showed no intention of taking action, nor did she show any hostility, which made Su Yu, who had been on guard, relax.

Immediately afterwards, she never expected that Xu Qingzhao would actually throw the dragon tooth back in her hand, as if this was something related to their Emperor Xuanzong's biggest secret, and she threw it away like a stone without any care.

Shen Zhan looked puzzled, and he really couldn't guess what the leader of Shangxuan Sect was thinking.

"That time when the Demon Sect launched a massive attack on the mountain, it was all thanks to your mother who intervened and resolved a bloody battle. However, few people know that while the hostility at the mountain gate was resolved, a bloodbath that lasted for nine days and nine nights took place in the Dragon Bone Cave behind the mountain.

The residual image you saw in the cave was my senior brother. If he had not died in the battle, he would have been the leader.

The other was a rare genius within the Demon Sect, equally powerful. They ultimately fought to the bitter end, both perishing in the cave.

Shen Zhan was very surprised. It turned out that Xu Qingzhao knew all this clearly.

"Actually, there was a third person who witnessed that battle. He was Tieya, the man who plotted against you. After he escaped from the cave, that dragon fang became his lingering nightmare."

"No wonder he was so clear about the situation in the cave and knew that there was a restriction on the dragon tooth. He knew that the young Taoist priest would die if he tried to take the dragon tooth, but he still did it."

Shen Zhan sneered at Tieya's despicable behavior.

Xu Qingzhao sighed, "This time Tieya used you to try to seize the dragon tooth. I actually noticed it beforehand, but then I thought, if you can successfully bring the dragon tooth out, it might not be a bad thing.

I hope you can keep Longya's men away from Longgu Cave, so that I can be completely at peace in Shangxuan Sect. Otherwise, even if we get rid of Tieya, there will be a second and third Tieya appearing in the future.

Human greed is endless, and I am doing this for the safety of Emperor Xuanzong."

Su Yu was surprised and said, "Old Taoist, dragon teeth are not ordinary things in this world. Are you really willing to give them to Shen Zhan so generously?"

"This item is powerful yet dangerous. Some people try to take it by force, but others take it easily by chance. Everything is determined by fate, and chance cannot be forced."

Xu Qingzhao said slowly.

"In that case, I'll accept it."

Dragon teeth are hard to come by, so Shen Zhan stopped refusing immediately.
