The matriarch stood deep in the bamboo forest, looking at the original location of the courtyard.
A flatland...
"I felt the absolute severing, but I didn't feel any other 'End'."
She mused, "Which means, Arian didn't even use the End to defeat his father."
"Yes, matriarch." The servant said.
"What did he use then?"
"Human Emperor's Tao Power."
"Hmph, no wonder the Family Head wants the Human Emperor's Secret Realm and the true teachings..."
The matriarch said emotionlessly and turned to walk deeper into the bamboo forest.
On that flatland, in a corner unseen by anyone.
A mongrel dog squatted in the shade of the bamboo, paws holding a rectangular, dark blue piece of bone, facing towards where the matriarch had left.
Little Bone!
It was shrouded in mist, clearly using the identity of "Shadow Followers" to borrow the Silent Demon Mist from Wu Xiaode.
As for the dark blue bone it held in its paws, that was obviously the Bone Phone 1.
