Chapter 556: Chapter 460: The Star Vein is about to Emerge
To the west of the Extreme Cold Snowfield, several days passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the past few days, more and more people appeared on the snowfield. Besides the recent experts from Black Snow, Rhein, and Wusa, even the Firehawk Guard of Yanluo Country showed up.
Obviously, these medium-sized countries hadn’t given up this Tiger Vein.
If it appeared in the north or east, it would indeed be difficult to obtain.
But if the Tiger Vein emerged here in the west, Black Snow and other countries would also have a chance.
Su Yuan rode on Mo Fei’s back, deepening his exploration of the snowfield while surveying.
Despite the rugged and vast terrain of the Extreme Cold Snowfield, Su Yuan had mostly traversed the entire area in these past days.
“The flow of Earth Qi is becoming more stable…”
At this moment, atop a snowy mountain, Su Yuan’s eyes shone with silver light as he gazed into the distance.
Since Earth Qi was also a form of energy, Su Yuan didn’t need any other probing techniques. He could visually perceive the movement of Earth Qi through the All-Knowing Vision.
“Mo Fei, what do you think?” Su Yuan asked casually.
Mo Fei replied solemnly, “Master, for the past two days, I’ve had a vague premonition, as if something is about to happen.”
As a native Star Beast, Mo Fei had a tighter bond with the New Dust Realm than Su Yuan and the others, making it inevitable for him to have premonitions about major events.
Su Yuan nodded, “The calm before the storm… The more peaceful it is, the more intense the eruption will be.”
Man and beast gazed into the distance.
At that moment, the ground trembled slightly, and suddenly, the wind and snow intensified. A tremendous, formless wave of energy surged from afar!
This wave was several times stronger than when the initial signs of the three prior Star Veins had appeared!
“It’s here!” Su Yuan’s eyes tightened.
Although he couldn’t see the Tiger Vein, this powerful wave undoubtedly signaled the convergence of the Star Vein!
“That direction, it seems to be where Lord Shen is…”
Su Yuan raised his eyes to see the direction in which the Earth Qi was converging, pointing to Shen Die’s location.
Su Yuan was pondering when the token on him stirred; it was a communication from Shen Die.
“A great battle is about to commence.” Su Yuan retracted Mo Fei, looking at the continuously falling snow, “Qiguang, Black Snow, Rhein… Who knows how many will be buried here this time.”
Su Yuan had previously held back a bit against the southern camp.
But now that it concerned the Tiger Vein, there was no room for holding back.
Any hesitation could turn into an obstacle for himself.
Anyone who dares to fight, anyone who dares to come, must be killed!
A cold light rose in Su Yuan’s eyes. With silver light flashing between his hands, he opened a Space Gate and stepped through it.
Deep in the snowfield, surging winds and snow converged, and as the Earth Qi flowed, numerous glaciers visibly rose higher!
Shen Die’s hand held a flock of returning Purple Butterflies.
“The snowstorm contains an energy wave that greatly restricts probing. Even some initially locked-on targets were lost.”
Shen Die frowned, clearly dissatisfied with her investigation results.
At that moment, Shen Die sensed something and turned to look.
A flash of silver light, and Su Yuan emerged.
“Su Xing Lord, you’ve arrived,” Shen Die greeted.
Su Yuan’s expression shifted slightly. Although he hadn’t deliberately concealed his presence, Shen Die’s reaction was indeed quick.
Was it due to the keen perception brought by her strong spiritual power?
“Yes,” Su Yuan’s gaze slowly flowed with silver light as he looked at the increasingly dense snowstorm ahead, “It appears visibility and perception are greatly affected.”
“That’s right, but it is certain that the Star Vein is right ahead.”
Su Yuan said, “Let’s head straight over.”
“Okay!”
The two figures flew deeper into the snowfield.
In a certain part of the snowfield, atop a mountain outside a Yanluo Country camp with dozens of people.
The rough-looking Firehawk Guard David, Liu Fengnian, held a Star Power Telescope, looking ahead.
Amid the howling wind and snow, a vast area ahead was seen with recurring Star Power tides, forming terrifying frost tornadoes that almost reached the sky!
“What a spectacular sight!” Liu Fengnian secretly swallowed.
The nearby Davids were equally astonished by the scene.
Liu Fengnian, still stunned, turned to a young Central Guard beside him, “Inform the Special Guards, the Star Vein is on our side! Also, notify Captain Tao to gather forces and be ready for orders!”
“Yes!”
The young Central Guard responded immediately, heading back to the camp to communicate.
At that moment, he faintly heard commotion coming from the back of the camp.
“Who are you? This is Yanluo’s camp, you…”
“Ah!…”
“Old Li! Dongzi!”
“Damn it, what are you doing!”
“…”
Accompanied by a wave of Star Power, numerous screams arose!
“What’s happening!”
Liu Fengnian and the others were alarmed, quickly flying back to the camp.
A man and a woman strolled leisurely through the Yanluo Country camp.
The man had a pair of green pupils, looking rather ordinary.
The woman, in contrast, had long black-and-white hair, black-and-white pupils, an elegant white dress with a touch of black, appearing extremely distinguished.
They were Qiong Ying of Cancer and Luna of Gemini from the Qiguang Holy Temple.
Around them, the snow-covered ground already bore several corpses.
“Ah! Run, run!!” The Firehawk Guard and the other warriors in the camp looked at Qiong Ying and Luna in terror.
As the two approached, some retreated, others collapsed in fear, while some even fled the camp.
Normally, these Firehawk Guards or military warriors wouldn’t react this way, even in the face of death.
But now, they were so fragile, as if their hearts were consumed by fear!
A smile appeared on Qiong Ying’s face. With a thought, those who fled barely took a few steps before convulsing and collapsing.
Their pupils dilated, breathless, hands clutching their chests, with sheer terror in their eyes, as if dying suddenly!
Seeing this, Liu Fengnian was both shocked and furious.
“What’s going on, everyone stop running!”
At Liu Fengnian’s shout, the scattering crowd in the camp hesitated, struggling.
A Central Guard seemed to shake off the fear, rushing to Liu Fengnian.
“David! These two are monsters, we’ve already lost over a dozen brothers!”
Liu Fengnian and the others needed no further explanation, drawing his large iron-ring saber and striking down!
“Thunder Prison Dominator Saber!”
Lightning surged on the blade, crackling and multiplying on the iron-ring. In an instant, a domineering thunder fell onto Qiong Ying and Luna!
Lightning struck, forming a roaring thunder sea!
“It hit!”
“Liu David’s Thunder Prison Dominator Saber! It once killed the Epic Grade East Sea Xuanjia Turtle with one strike!”
“Did it kill them?!”
Everyone in the camp was excited, even the nearby Davids and Central Guards were uncertain.
The two mysterious attackers seemed easily struck by the Thunder Prison Dominator Saber!
But next, a purple glow emerged under the lightning.
A purple energy shield enveloped Qiong Ying and Luna. The thunder couldn’t penetrate the shield.
“What? The Thunder Prison Dominator Saber is ineffective?!”
“How… How is that possible!”
Seeing Liu Fengnian’s strike fail shocked the Firehawk Guards and warriors, and the fear deepened.
In Qiong Ying’s eyes, purple energy from everyone in the camp gathered.
“Fear is a primal emotion for survival through avoiding harm.”
Qiong Ying smiled, raising her hand, the purple energy infused the shield, making it dazzling.
“But, excessive fear can also lead to death!”
Qiong Ying pointed, the shield contracted, then expanded, dispersing the thunder quickly!
“Watch out!”
Liu Fengnian warned loudly.
Panicked, everyone activated their defense skills.
But the expanding purple energy passed through everyone’s defenses!
“Spiritual Attack?!”
Everyone was shocked, unable to react before the purple energy passed through!
Everyone trembled, stopped, eyes blank, growing fear evident.
The sounds of them collapsing echoed one after another.
After a while, accompanied by a snap, the purple energy dissipated.
“These people are too weak.” Qiong Ying walked out of the camp, shaking her head and smiling.
Luna said expressionlessly, “They are just lackeys anyway.”
Behind them, Liu Fengnian and the Firehawk Guards lay in terrifying poses.
In no time, over thirty people in the camp were dead!
The two arrived at Liu Fengnian’s earlier vantage point, looking into the distance.
“Is it there?” Qiong Ying looked at the surging Star Power Tide, sighing, “What a spectacle, this power makes it impossible to distinguish the True Vein from the False Vein.”
Luna’s face remained cold, “Regardless, just take it. If anyone dares to intervene, kill them all!”
Qiong Ying smirked, rubbing her chin, “I wonder how many Star Lords Great Flame will send. I have a feeling there will be a surprising twist…”
“Let’s go, move out,” Luna said softly.
“Alright~”
The two flew towards the Star Vein’s birthplace…
