Chapter 540 Barbarian Reinforcements

Yun Xiao's eyes shone brightly as he looked at the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers surrounding Lu Zheng, his eyes filled with surprise.

The imagery of the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers contained the power of heaven and earth, and did not appear to be any kind of magic.

Seeing how easily Lu Zheng used it, Yun Xiao felt that it was either a high-grade painting of the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, or a true Dharma form.

"This kid, doesn't he know a bit too many tricks up his sleeve..."

Yun Xiao stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "Among the younger generation of Qingyang Palace, no one has such terrifying talent that they can master so many abilities in such a short time."

The man in black robes was somewhat shocked to see that Lu Zheng was able to shatter the chains that possessed the power of laws.

This is a spiritual energy chain capable of suppressing even dragon veins; I never expected Lu Zheng could summon the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers.

He clearly sensed that those scenes were real entities, imbued with divine power, enough to withstand his attacks.

On the other side, Qingyi was bound by chains of spiritual energy.

Qingyi looked at the thick chains, her small hands gripping them tightly, her eyes blazing with intense heat, her aura growing stronger rather than weaker.

The intense Yang flames burned the chains, and with Qingyi exerting all her strength, the spiritual energy chains were suddenly torn apart.

Lu Zheng and Qing Yi broke free in the blink of an eye and continued their attack on the man in black robes.

For a moment, the man in black robes thought that the Shu Kingdom government had discovered the anomaly of the dragon vein in the southern border and therefore sent people to deal with the situation, specifically to find cultivators who practiced the power of Yang to restrain them.

These people in front of us have all come prepared.

Upon seeing this, the man in black robes felt a chill in his heart, and his black robes suddenly began to glow.

Ancient characters emerged, radiating wisps of mysterious power.

The ancient characters shifted and changed, drawing in the surrounding earth's dragon energy and directly contacting a protective magic array.

At the same time, Lu Zheng had a thought, and the mountain phenomenon suddenly grew larger, transforming into a small mountain that directly suppressed the man in black robes.

The man in black robes waved his long sleeves, and a pattern appeared in his palm. He then raised his hand and slapped it, and an invisible force resisted the mountain that was pressing down on him.

The mountains trembled slightly from the collision of the powerful forces, producing a metallic sound.

"This is the real thing..."

Yun Xiao, who was watching from a distance, suddenly brightened up, thinking that he should investigate Lu Zheng's background later to find out how he had so many treasures and exchange cultivation experiences.

As Lu Zheng unleashed the mountain, the strange phenomena of the sun and moon also moved with lightning speed, crashing straight into the man in black robes.

Qingyi also strode forward, rushing towards the man in black robes amidst the sweltering heat.

The man in black robes felt a sudden sense of crisis and quickly enveloped his entire body in dense dragon energy. He then activated the barrier formation, and the black dragon energy blasted towards Lu Zheng and the other man.

Lu Zheng reacted quickly, holding the Imperial Historian's tablet in his hand and reciting the words of the sage.

Within the Wen Palace, one of the silk scrolls containing Mencius released a wisp of power.

In an instant, colorful light emanated from Lu Zheng's body, and his righteous aura surged like the waves of a great river.

The dragon vein energy that had been rushing in with great force came to a halt once again.

In the blink of an eye, the situation changed again.

A powerful aura enveloped the man in black robes, suppressing his imposing presence.

The man in black robes immediately felt as if he had been plunged into a vat of boiling oil; the surrounding atmosphere made him extremely uncomfortable.

The black-robed man's robe swayed violently, eventually shattering under the relentless surge of righteous energy. The robe exploded, revealing the man's true face: a middle-aged man with eerie green eyes that radiated a sinister light, and a full suit of armor covering his entire body.

Without the cover of his robes, the middle-aged man couldn't help but squint slightly in the face of the dazzling light.

With just that slight opening, Lu Zheng, carrying Zhang Liang's hammer, appeared in front of the middle-aged man in an instant and swung it out fiercely.

Even though the middle-aged man was on guard and a defensive barrier had appeared around his body, Zhang Liang's hammer still broke through his defenses and hit him solidly, sending him flying backward.

After flying dozens of feet, the middle-aged man finally managed to steady himself. Before he could even cough up a mouthful of blood, he noticed Qingyi's figure appear beside him.

Qingyi wielded a large oar, taller than herself, and slammed it out with such force that it shook the middle-aged man, sending him flying backward.

Damn it... The middle-aged man was horrified.

Having been in the Profound Realm for so many years, this was the first time he had felt a sense of life-or-death crisis.

He steeled his resolve, gritted his teeth, and spat out a mouthful of blood essence. His entire body was enveloped in a blood-red glow, and his previously weak aura quickly returned to its peak state.

Middle-aged people are willing to sacrifice their lifespan to secure the arrival of reinforcements.

At this moment, several figures appeared out of thin air above the old royal city.

The group was originally in the royal city, but they sensed the abnormality of the dragon vein in the southern border, so they quickly rushed over.

"There's a fight going on down below..."

One of the men looked solemn. Upon arriving here, he had clearly sensed the abnormality of the dragon vein deep underground.

Another person said in a deep voice, "Could it be that they've discovered us...?"

"It shouldn't be like this... If the Shu Kingdom's court were to intervene, this place shouldn't be like this; there isn't even a single soldier here."

Within the old royal city, their people were still guarding it, but no government officials were seen.

"Let's go take a look; perhaps there's something wrong with the dragon vein..."

After exchanging a few words, the group disappeared into the sky, heading straight for the dragon vein deep underground.

The group, familiar with the route, quickly arrived at the location of the dragon vein. They then rushed into the giant black tortoise and saw a middle-aged man fighting with two strangers.

Upon seeing the scene before them, the group's expressions changed; they hadn't expected anyone to actually come here.

The middle-aged man was overjoyed to see the reinforcements arrive and said, "Quick, help me! There are four of them, sent by the Shu government. We can't let them live..."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed again. They used their divine sense to explore the surroundings and discovered Yun Xiao and Qing Wan in a corner.

Upon seeing several powerful figures arrive, Lu Zheng quickly instructed Qing Yi to stop fighting and retreat temporarily, distancing herself from them.

Seeing the gazes directed at him, Yun Xiao couldn't help but cough lightly, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. We're not government officials."

Upon hearing this, a tall, noble-looking barbarian couldn't help but blink slightly, and asked in a stiff tone, "Oh, what is your background? Why have you come to the location of the dragon vein in the Southern Frontier? What is your purpose?"

Yun Xiao said calmly, "You're asking a lot of questions. What's the meaning of your stealing the Southern Frontier Dragon Vein and trying to create a new one? Are you plotting a rebellion?"

The tall man said in a deep voice, "Why do you say such things? We, the Southern Frontier, are subjects of the Great Shu. We are protecting the dragon vein of this place. Do not speak nonsense."

Yun Xiao raised an eyebrow and said, "This dragon vein is in such a state that you can only fool laymen. Do you really think I'm a child?"

Yun Xiao paused for a moment, then said slowly, "You should all seal your cultivation and turn yourselves in to the authorities. Perhaps you can get a lighter sentence."
