Chapter 273 Gathering in the Snow Mountain
Chapter 273 Gathering in the Snow Mountain
He turned and walked into the depths of the wind and snow, and Yang Xining hurriedly followed with the children.
Along the way, Lingling also took the opportunity to "chat" with Yang Xining about the past five years.
It turned out that in the five years since Yang Xining disappeared, Lingling had been trying every possible means to return to the place where she once lived.
Although it knew that there was a snowy mountain there, it had no idea of its specific location or the route to it.
So it hid here and there, passing through one snow-capped mountain after another, and finally happened to see Bai Qiancheng who came out to buy daily necessities at the foot of Kunlun Mountain.
A man and a fox hugged each other and cried.
Lingling was surprised and delighted that Yang Xining had suddenly become a mother. She looked at the two adorable children with a heart full of curiosity and tenderness.
It sniffed the two children in turn, as if it wanted to engrave their scent in its mind.
The two children also liked the white and soft Lingling very much, and they were proficient in animal language, so they quickly became friends with Lingling.
As Bai Qiancheng moved forward, the blizzard automatically opened a path, and the wind and snow on both sides stood like walls.
"How amazing!" Qingyan exclaimed in a low voice.
Bai Qiancheng then turned around and looked at the little girl, his gaze lingering on the small corner of her forehead for a moment: "Demon hybrid?"
"A hybrid of gods and demons." Yang Xining corrected, while holding the children's hands tightly.
Bai Qiancheng said no more and led them to an ancient temple hidden deep in the snow-capped mountains.
The temple gate is carved with an exquisite relief - a two-headed dragon, half blue and half red, entangled with each other.
"This is..." Yang Xining was shocked.
"Chilong and Qiulong." Bai Qiancheng pushed open the heavy stone door. "They are two sides of the same coin."
The inside of the temple is as warm as spring, in stark contrast to the ice and snow outside.
A colorful divine stone is suspended above the central altar, emitting a soft light.
"Nuwa's Heaven-Mending Stone." Bai Qiancheng's voice was filled with awe. "The last piece."
Yang Xining stepped forward involuntarily, but was stopped by Bai Qiancheng.
"Tell me first, why did the Qionglong suddenly wake up?" His eyes were as sharp as a knife.
Yang Xining briefly recounted everything that happened in the North Sea, including Idoris's sacrifice.
When he heard the words "the remnant soul of Chilong", Bai Qiancheng's expression changed obviously.
"As expected..." he muttered to himself, "Qionglong needs Chilong bloodline to fully recover its strength."
"What do you mean?" Yang Xining asked anxiously.
Bai Qiancheng walked towards the altar and motioned for her to follow. "In ancient times, the Dragon God split into two: the Chilong, representing order and creation, and the Qiulong, representing chaos and destruction."
He pointed at the seven-colored sacred stone and said, "Nuwa used the Heaven-Repairing Stone to help Chilong and seal him away. Chilong then voluntarily became part of the seal."
"So the Chilong's remaining soul on the altar..."
"It's the key to the seal." Bai Qiancheng nodded. "Qiulong wants to complete himself by absorbing Chilong's bloodline and become a complete dragon god."
Yang Xining suddenly thought of something and his face turned pale: "Qinglan... he has the blood of the Sea God..."
"Not only that." Bai Qiancheng's gaze fell on Qingyan, "Demon blood is equally precious. The Qionglong requires a balance of yin and yang."
Qingyan hid behind her mother in fear: "That big bad dragon wants to eat me and my brother?"
Bai Qiancheng softened his voice, which was rare for him: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
He turned to Yang Xining and said, "There's a reason your mother mentioned the Nuwa ruins before she died. Only the Bu Tian Stone can reseal the Qionglong."
“How?”
Bai Qiancheng's hand gently stroked the seven-colored divine stone. "The holder of the Chilong bloodline—that is, you, Yang Xining—needs to take the Bu Tian Stone back to the birthplace of the Qilong and activate the seal when the sun and moon shine together."
Yang Xining clenched his fists: "Where is the birthplace of the Qionglong?"
"The deepest part of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean." Bai Qiancheng looked at her with pity, "But you have to know that activating the seal means..."
“What does it mean?”
Before Bai Qiancheng could answer, the temple door was suddenly slammed violently.
"Xining! Open the door!" Satan's familiar voice came.
Yang Xining hurried to open the door, only to see Satan, Mo Junli, Yan Tian, Lu Xinghan, Qi Lin, Lan Lingchi and the Xiao brothers and sisters standing outside.
"Hey, can you men please stop blocking me from meeting Xining?" Xiao Zongli was so angry that she jumped up and down behind him.
“How come you…”
"No time to explain!" Satan's red eyes flashed with anxiety. "The Anaconda army is searching the mountain. We must move immediately!"
Mo Junli stepped forward, his eyes filled with worry behind his gold-rimmed glasses. "The global situation is out of control. Almost all the politicians in various countries are controlled by the Anaconda people and forced to be implanted with chips to become new humans, including my old man and my mother."
"Brother, Qi Yuxiao has recovered his memory." Lu Xinghan added, "He and Xu Yanyan have broken up now, and he also told us that the Anaconda tribe has established a new base in the Pacific Ocean."
Yan Tian picked up Qingyan and checked her for injuries: "The capital has fallen. We finally managed to break through."
Qi Lin patted Yang Xining's shoulder and said, "By the way, Uncle Yang has been picked up by that man named Dias. His life is not in danger for now. As for these two pieces of dog-skin plasters..."
His gaze turned to the Xiao siblings, but they just stared at him intently and ignored his words.
One stared at Yang Xining.
One stared at Bai Qiancheng.
Lan Lingchi gracefully flicked the snowflakes off his sleeves. "The Great Demon Lord Mephisto is currently leading the demon army to attack the Anaconda's stronghold in the demon world, and he's temporarily unable to support us."
Yang Xining nodded.
Bai Qiancheng looked at the group of people coldly: "Let's talk about the past when it's safe. There is a secret passage in the temple leading to the foot of the mountain."
He walked towards the altar, took down the suspended seven-colored divine stone and handed it to Yang Xining: "Take it, this is the only hope to save the world."
Yang Xining took the divine stone and felt the immense power contained within it. "Mr. Bai, what did you mean by activating the seal?"
Bai Qiancheng's eyes were complicated: "It means sacrifice. The sacrifice of the Chilong bloodline."
Everyone fell silent instantly.
"No!" Mo Junli was the first to object, "There must be another way!"
"That's right!" Lu Xinghan said excitedly, "We can use technology..."
"It's useless." Bai Qiancheng interrupted them, "This is a fate destined since ancient times. The Chilong and the Qionglong are originally one. To seal the Qionglong, you must..."
"Someone must become the new Chilong and suppress him forever." Yang Xining suddenly understood, his voice unusually calm.
Qingyan and Qinglan cried out at the same time: "No! Mommy, don't go!"
Yang Xining squatted down, hugged the two children, and kissed their foreheads: "My dears, Mommy won't give up easily. Let's find a solution together, okay?"
She looked up at Bai Qiancheng and asked, "What preparations do we need to make before heading to the Mariana Trench?"
Bai Qiancheng pondered for a moment: "Three things are needed - the reverse scales of the dragon clan, the tears of the mermaid, and..." His eyes fell on Satan, "the blood of the demon god."
Satan raised his eyebrows: "How much?"
"One drop is enough." Bai Qiancheng turned to Yang Xining, "But mermaid tears are hard to find. As far as I know, the mermaid species is basically on the verge of extinction."
"Brother, isn't that Ye a mermaid?"
Before Lu Xinghan finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion outside the temple.
"Someone is approaching!" Yan Tian instantly entered combat mode, his muscles tensed, and his right hand pressed on the holster at his waist.
Qi Lin slid silently to the door, the dagger spinning between his fingertips: "One... no, two."
