Chapter 541 Unsealing the Dragon Vein
Upon hearing Yun Xiao's calm yet arrogant tone, the group's expressions turned ugly.
Turn themselves in to the authorities? They've painstakingly planned this for years, expending enormous effort and resources, and just when things were about to succeed, who would willingly turn themselves in?
The tall man took a deep breath and said, "What do you want? Why don't you tell me, and we can sit down and talk."
Since these people were not government officials, the man thought he could try to negotiate and offer them some benefits to keep them quiet.
As for why they didn't take direct action, the man was worried that if they couldn't capture all of them, the news of the dragon vein would leak out and attract the attention of the Shu Kingdom's court, which would be even more of a loss.
Yun Xiao chuckled and said, "What's there to talk about? Didn't I just say you should all turn yourselves in? That would save you all trouble. The treasures I want are beyond the reach of most people."
The man's face immediately darkened; he hadn't expected that the other party wasn't greedy at all.
He was willing to share any of these people who wanted the dragon vein.
The man was puzzled; how could this Taoist priest, who was only at the fourth level of cultivation, dare to say such things?
The man then turned to look at Lu Zheng and Qing Yi, who were standing elsewhere, and asked, "You two, is that the same idea?"
Lu Zheng simply smiled upon hearing this and said nothing, but his attitude was clearly made clear.
Yun Xiao shook his head and said, "You have the aura of a king in this Taoist temple, so you must be a member of the barbarian royal family, right? Why not just give up your rightful hereditary kingship and instead collude with outsiders to cause such trouble? Do you think you're living too well and want to find some fun to risk your life?"
The tall man pursed his lips, his face ashen.
Just then, a cultivator behind the man waved his hand, and sharp sword lights flew out from his sleeve, slashing straight at Yun Xiao.
Sword light rained down, instantly enveloping Yun Xiao and Qing Wan.
Qingwan reacted swiftly, summoning a magical artifact that shimmered with light, and a strong wind arose, shattering the rain of swords.
The first to strike said in a deep voice, "Young Master Fei, don't waste time talking to them. Let's take them down first!"
The royal family of the Southern Frontier is surnamed Fei, and the tall man is a direct descendant of the royal family named Fei Ang, who is a martial artist.
Seeing this, Fei Ang nodded slightly and stood there with his hands behind his back.
The remaining people took out their magical artifacts and treasures and headed towards Lu Zheng and his group of four.
Yun Xiao stood still, calm and composed. With a gentle squeeze of his right hand, which was hidden in his sleeve, he crushed a jade talisman.
In an instant, an invisible force rapidly spread outwards.
A sudden ripple came from deep underground.
This fluctuation traveled to the ground at an extremely fast speed.
The former capital, the entire dilapidated mountain city, suddenly shook violently.
Before the patrolling guards could understand what was happening, they heard a muffled thud.
The massive Barbarian King's Stele slowly cracked open, and the remaining power contained within it immediately went out of control, causing the entire mountain range to shake even more violently.
Around the mountain stele, there were once restrictions and seals left by the Shu Kingdom court, but due to the passage of time and tampering, they have become unstable.
In order to shift the dragon vein, some people made some arrangements on the mountain and underground.
When Yun Xiao was exploring the mountains, he discovered the hidden arrangements and then secretly modified some of them.
Now, he has only crushed a small jade talisman, and all the arrangements have been triggered.
In the blink of an eye, the seals and restrictions on the ground collapsed.
The consequences of the collapse quickly spread deep underground to the location of the Southern Frontier Dragon Vein.
Everyone felt the unusual earthquake.
The group, who had been so aggressive, stopped in their tracks as a sense of danger rose in their hearts.
"Oh no, they've made a move..." A powerful expert skilled in formations couldn't help but exclaim in alarm.
But before he could finish speaking, his words were drowned out by a loud noise.
"Roar!"
A deafening, furious dragon roar echoed from the side.
The illusory image of the Xuan Turtle, which had been used as a cover outside, transformed back into the dragon vein energy and surged wildly into the bound black dragon's body.
Without needing any prompting, Fei Ang and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they quickly moved away from the dragon vein.
This is the main dragon vein of the Southern Frontier. If it were unsealed, their current strength would be no match for it.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast they reacted, they were still within the domain of the dragon vein.
Before they had gone very far, everyone felt their movements become extremely sluggish, as if they had entered a swamp or quagmire.
As for spatial magic, it is completely unusable under the influence of this dragon vein's aura.
The black dragon's aura grew stronger and stronger, and as its massive body trembled, the spiritual energy chains binding it snapped one by one.
Then, the black dragon stretched its neck, opened its mouth, and bit at a person nearby, who was the middle-aged man who had been guarding this place.
As the gaping maw drew near, the middle-aged man was horrified and instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
Within the blood mist, countless tiny flying insects fled in all directions.
The middle-aged man sensed endless hatred in the dragon vein's eyes. Without the slightest hesitation, he chose to self-destruct, hoping to save his life with a secret technique.
However, the dragon vein would not give him such an opportunity. The black dragon opened its mouth and inhaled, as if swallowing a whale, sucking all the tiny flying insects into its mouth and crushing them into powder with its dragon energy.
A profound expert died instantly, beyond any hope of survival.
Yun Xiao led Qing Wan back slowly, clicking his tongue in amazement, "They really deserved it."
Compared to Fei Ang and his group, Lu Zheng and his group of four moved more smoothly.
Firstly, the methods they practice are different from those of Fei Ang and the others. Fei Ang and the others rely on the earth vein dragon energy. Now that the dragon vein is angry, Fei Ang and the others are naturally easy to control. Secondly, the dragon vein's anger is mainly aimed at Fei Ang and the others.
After all, the dragon vein had had its dragon energy drained for decades, and now that its enemy was right in front of it, it wouldn't care about anyone else.
When Fei Ang saw his companions being easily killed by the black dragon, he was filled with shock and horror.
They never imagined that the dragon vein, which had been suppressed for hundreds of years and had its dragon energy extracted, would still possess such terrifying power; it was truly beyond their expectations.
The black dragon's gaze was deep and unfathomable. It raised one of its claws and reached out to grab another person.
Upon seeing this, the man's eyes revealed a look of fear and unease. He tried to use his abilities to escape, but his body was bound by the power of a dragon vein, making it impossible for him to move.
With a swipe of the dragon claw, another powerful figure was reduced to blood mist, his soul and spirit annihilated, with no chance of survival.
Fei Ang's heart leaped into his throat, and he hurriedly said in the barbarian language, "I, Fei Ang, am a descendant of the royal family of the Southern Frontier. My ancestors have worshipped you, the most noble and supreme one, for generations. I am willing to lead my people to serve you forever..."
Fei Ang showed a look of awe and uttered some prayers, hoping to gain some favor from the dragon vein and have his life spared.
The enormous black dragon had an indifferent look in its eyes. It used its dragon energy to grab Fei Ang and move him closer.
When Fei Ang saw that the dragon vein did not kill him immediately, he thought he had been given a chance to live.
Before he could say anything more, wisps of dragon energy flowed through his body, slowly tearing his body and soul apart.
