Chapter 542 Revenge
"what!"
Fei Ang let out a chilling scream, his whole body convulsing as he experienced endless pain.
The black dragon, the embodiment of the dragon vein, had a cold and indifferent gaze, filled with ferocity.
Back then, the descendants of the Southern Barbarian King revered him like a god for generations, but now, the royal family is getting worse with each generation.
There are actually people who are so rebellious, wanting to destroy him and create a new dragon vein.
Back then, the emperor of Shu only sealed his power, not wanting the Southern Frontier to give birth to another monarch who could carry the fortune of a region, and never said he would destroy the dragon vein of the Southern Frontier.
"Spare...spare my life..."
Fei Ang's voice trembled, and his eyes were filled with fear.
The black dragon ignored him, opened its mouth and blew lightly. Under the sweeping dragon energy, Fei Ang's broken body and soul turned into nothingness and disappeared from the world.
The group of people who had come with Fei Ang were filled with dread and unease, their bodies chilled to the very depths of their souls.
They wanted to escape, but they couldn't escape no matter what they did.
Seeing the black dragon heading towards them, some people closed their eyes in despair and took their own lives.
On the other side, Yun Xiao said leisurely to Lu Zheng and the others, "See? It's a simple matter. This is like using one tiger to devour another..."
Qingwan couldn't help but whisper, "Won't releasing this dragon vein cause any trouble?"
This dragon vein in southern Xinjiang had been suppressed for many years, and Qingwan could clearly feel the fierce and resentful aura emanating from it.
If this dragon vein were to become enraged, even a minor earthquake could affect many people, inevitably harming many innocent bystanders.
Yun Xiao calmly said, "No need to worry. If he's smart, he shouldn't be too presumptuous."
Yun Xiao felt that the Southern Frontier Dragon Vein had been suppressed here for hundreds of years, so it should know a thing or two about how to handle things.
In a short while, the black dragon annihilated Fei Ang and his group, leaving not even a trace of their bodies.
Then, Black Dragon turned to look at Lu Zheng and the others, his eyes still filled with ferocity.
Seeing this, Yun Xiao put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Alright, now that you've vented your anger, stay here obediently. I will truthfully report what happened here to the imperial court. If you know what's good for you, I'll try to spare you from suppression and grant you some freedom..."
Since he was the one who unsealed and released the dragon vein, he naturally had to clean up the mess.
Otherwise, people would think that Yun Xiao was just bored and had nothing better to do than give the court something to do.
Black Dragon stared intently at Yun Xiao, his voice like muffled thunder: "Who are you?"
Yun Xiaoyou said leisurely, "The True Man of Qingyang Palace in Shu Kingdom. You should have heard of the Taoist True Man, right? I am a True Man personally appointed by the current Emperor of Shu. My words carry some weight."
Black Dragon said in a deep, muffled voice, "You? You don't seem like it."
The Taoist priest in front of him looked too weak; he felt he could kill him with a single slap.
"Hmph..." Yun Xiao snorted coldly, "You have eyes but can't recognize a true master. I am now nothing more than a dharma body."
Yun Xiao paused for a moment, then said, "Although my true form is not here in person, don't even think about acting recklessly. If you do anything outrageous, the four of us can suppress you!"
Upon hearing this, Qingwan thought to herself that it was best not to include them in such boastful remarks.
The barbarian royal family went to great lengths to extract dragon energy from the suppressed dragon vein.
Now that the dragon vein has been freed, it is not so easy to suppress it.
The black dragon surveyed the group, its gaze shifting to Lu Zheng. As a member of the local dragon vein, it could clearly sense something unusual about these individuals. Especially Lu Zheng, who exuded an aura of harmony with heaven and earth, possessing immense fortune that even the black dragon found dwarfing…
It would not be a wise move to actually fight with these people.
After pondering for a while, the black dragon withdrew its ferocity, and the dragon aura surrounding Lu Zheng and the others receded like a tide.
The black dragon spoke slowly, "I'll believe you for now, but you have to leave someone behind..."
Upon hearing this, Yun Xiao understood that the other party agreed to report to the authorities, but wanted to leave hostages as a guarantee.
Yun Xiao smiled and said, "Why go through all that trouble? Just use a little trick to get them to come over, and I'll explain things to them in person."
"How do we do it?" the Dragon Vein asked.
"Simple, all you need is..."
Yun Xiao slowly offered some advice to the dragon vein.
Upon hearing this, the dragon vein raised its head and spewed out a stream of black dragon energy, which went straight to the ground.
Before long, dragon energy emerged from the ruins of the old royal city. The inky aura shot straight into the sky, forming a straight black pillar of energy that could be seen from thousands of miles away.
Yun Xiao said leisurely, "Now that you are free from your constraints, you should be able to sense the situation within a thousand miles. Let us know when someone arrives."
Yun Xiao told Lu Zheng and the others to find a place to rest and wait for the officials to arrive.
Seeing that the group had no intention of leaving, the dragon vein also took up its position there, absorbing the scattered earth vein energy around it to replenish itself.
The black dragon's aura gradually recovered, and its momentum grew stronger and stronger.
Yun Xiao seemed to sense something, looked up and saw a hazy golden light appearing and disappearing above.
Just now, the illusory image of the stone tablet shattered along with the illusory image of the black tortoise. This is because a portion of the residual power is still reverberating in the dragon vein area.
Yun Xiao pointed to the golden light above and said leisurely, "Little Black Dragon, put away the power of the inscription and let me see it."
Although the dragon vein was somewhat unwilling upon hearing this, it still had a thought, and an invisible force quickly rose upwards.
The golden aura that was drifting everywhere was suddenly gathered together, and in a moment it transformed into a golden bead the size of a walnut, which then flew towards Yun Xiao.
Yun Xiao waved his hand, took the golden bead in his hand, and couldn't help but grin as he felt the mysterious power contained within it.
He glanced at it briefly and lost interest, tossing the gold bead to Lu Zheng, "Take it, at least we didn't come for nothing."
This bead contains some Legalist power, which Lu Zheng can experience and satisfy his curiosity.
Lu Zheng looked at the gold beads in his hand, hesitating to speak.
Yun Xiao chuckled and said, "Don't worry about it. That stone tablet didn't have much power to begin with, so giving you this remaining bit is making the best use of it. Don't be shy!"
Qingwan said with a strange expression, "What you're saying makes it sound like that stone tablet belongs to your family."
"Ahem..." Yun Xiao said unhurriedly, "It's just a stele. Let me tell you, I've carved quite a few Taoist scripture steles for the imperial court before. At worst, I'll carve a few more as compensation in the future..."
Yun Xiao stroked his beard gently and said, "Speaking of this, our Qingyang Palace has many Daoist steles, which are traces of Daoist techniques left by the masters of our sect for future generations to study. I am not very talented, but I also left a stele in the stele forest a few years ago..."
“You can’t see the other Daoist steles, since you’re not members of our Daoist sect. But I can make an exception and let you see my Daoist stele.”
