Chapter 412: Do Not Delay
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhu Ya looked at Bai Libing’s expression, and her heart ached. She quickly grabbed Bai Libing’s hand and said, “Libing, Uncle Lixiong is still alive. Don’t waste time venting your anger here. We need to find him!”
Bai Libing nodded, and then her gaze turned to Ye Chen.
The very next second…
Plop!
She knelt down in front of Ye Chen.
“Mr. Ye, I know this trip is dangerous, but please save my father. As long as you save my father, I’m willing to work for you for the rest of my life!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Libing kowtowed.
When Ye Chen saw this scene, he waved his arm gently, and a wave of air swept out, putting her back on her feet.
“You don’t have to kneel. I will save your father. Zheng Renjue and I are mortal enemies. I will kill Zheng Renjue, and I will save your father and any other survivors. Let’s go in.”
Bai Libing’s eyes flashed with excitement as she nodded.
“Thankyou, Mr. Ye!”
Ye Chen did not say much. He picked up two ordinary stones from the ground, and then formed a seal with his fingers to create a talisman.
Two ancient characters were engraved on the stones, causing them to emit a trace of spiritual energy.
He handed the two stones to Zhu Ya and Bai Libing respectively and instructed, “Take this stone. If you encounter danger, throw it. It will be able to help in most situations.”
Zhu Ya and Bai Libing took the stones. Although they were a little confused, they knew that Ye Chen would not give them something useless.
“Thankyou, Mr. Ye!”
“Alright, we can’t delay any longer.”
Ye Chen grabbed the Dragonslayer Sword and headed deeper into the forest.
There was already a trace of the dragon vein’s spiritual energy permeating the surroundings, which also triggered a reaction from the dragon vein in the Samsara Graveyard.
As both of them were from the same origin, they resonated.
Ye Chen knew very well that it was extremely dangerous inside. His strongest attack was the combination of the blood dragon with the first move of the Heaven-Splitting Sword technique.
However, it was impossible for this attack to deal with so many experts. After all, the cultivators inside were much stronger than the three cultivators he had faced just now.
If he was really forced to, he would try to unleash the second move of the Heaven-Splitting Sword technique. He had never used it before, but when the Slaughter Dao Lord used it, he witnessed just how terrifying it was.
However, there was a price to pay!
At the same time, five kilometers behind Ye Chen, another force had also entered the forest, led by Jiang Jianfeng.
Jiang Jianfeng was followed by a few hidden experts of the Jiang family and Jiang Haishan.
Jiang Jianfeng had a feeling that things were not that simple. The old man hurriedly asked him to go to the Qinling Mountains, saying that he had received news that many forces had sent their men deep into the Qinling Mountains to get a share of the profits.
As for what these profits were, he had no idea.
Not long after, his phone rang. Jiang Jianfeng frowned and immediately knew that it was the old man calling.
He pressed the answer button.
“Dad, why did you ask me to come to the Qinling Mountains? We discovered many corpses here, and it seems like there is some sort of war going on here.”
There was a pause on the other end of the line before the old man finally said seriously, “Jianfeng, Qinling’s dragon vein has been damaged, and countless forces and families have gone there to take advantage of this situation. I ordered you to bring the experts of the Jiang family into the Qinling Mountains to fight for a share of this opportunity!”
“The dragon vein is the most important existence in Huaxia. Those who obtain a part of the dragon vein will be able to secure the family’s standing for thousands of years.”
Jiang Jianfeng’s expression changed slightly and he said in surprise, “Dad, what do you mean? Do you want me to safeguard the dragon vein, or…”
Before he could finish, Old Master Jiang said, “Guard the dragon vein? Hmph! I have given Jiang Haishan a treasure, which should be able to store a part of the dragon vein. No matter what the result is, I want you to take as much of it as you can with you! At all costs! If you can do this, it won’t be long before the position of the head of the Jiang family is yours!”
Hearing this, Jiang Jianfeng felt something was wrong. He had never thought that the old man would actually covet Qinling’s dragon vein!
Was he crazy?
Once the dragon vein was destroyed, the cities near the dragon vein would all collapse!
This would be a huge disaster for Huaxia!
“Dad, the dragon vein is…”
“No buts. You don’t have the right to decide here! Hurry up and enter. Bai Lixiong probably won’t be able to hold out for long. Zheng Renjue is inside there as well, and has probably already betrayed us. If you waste time, you’ll lower our chances of success! Go!”
“If I’m not wrong, there’s a chaotic battle going on inside. This is your best chance to sneak in. Your goal isn’t to kill people, but to take whatever you can of Qinling’s dragon vein!”
The call ended there.
Jiang Haishan came to Jiang Jianfeng’s side and said, “Young Master, there’s no time to lose. Let’s go. The Old Master is extremely concerned about this matter. Moreover, even if we don’t take the dragon vein, other forces will. This dragon vein won’t affect the capital, and it’s no big deal if some ordinary people die.”
Jiang Jianfeng let out a long sigh and continued to head deeper. He could only take things one step at a time.
If there was really a chance to stop this farce, he would act.
He had not lived a particularly righteous life, and had killed and harmed many people. However, this matter concerned the country, and was something that went against his conscience.
At this moment, Ye Chen felt that the dragon vein’s spiritual energy was getting thicker and thicker.
The closer he got to the source, the more the dragon vein in the Samsara Graveyard trembled.
Furthermore, the dragon vein was not the only thing responding. A tombstone was also beginning to crack open, as if signaling that something was about to rush out.
Could it be that the ancient mighty figure was going to take the initiative to appear again?
While Ye Chen was deep in thought, a voice entered his mind.
“Brat, if we can get that dragon vein, you and the Samsara Graveyard will benefit greatly!”
Ye Chen almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He refused decisively.
“Don’t even think about it. If I put my own interests above the lives of hundreds of millions of ordinary people, I will be no better than these scum!”
The old voice did not speak again. However, Ye Chen was not bothered by this. His gaze was focused on a valley below.
There were about a hundred people outside the valley, who were all arrayed in a tight formation, guarding the entrance to a cave.
A lifelike dragon was drawn above the entrance of the cave.
Ye Chen had heard that the six dragon veins in Huaxia were protected by a heaven-defying formation.
There was a huge altar within the formation, which was the core of the formation.
If the altar was damaged, the protective formation would be weakened.
It seemed that the formation protecting Qinling’s dragon vein had weakened significantly. Those forces had likely obtained some unknown treasure and damaged the formation..
