Chapter 489 - The Dragon Veins

“Then, let’s go and look at it,” Xiao Chen said as he relaxed his brows. Since there was something strange about this city, it would be better to take a look. Even if he could not find any clues from a few thousands of years ago, he could also use it as his future base.

He had already sensed it carefully. The city seemed to be shrouded by a mysterious force, and there was even a stranger force under the ground. If he could keep it as his own, it might be what Gui Xian had said about the Heavens helping him.

At the moment, the group of people controlled their flying swords to land carefully to the ground in the city and did not dare to be too anxious. When they were about 400 feet above the ground, suddenly a fierce wave of vital force surged up, in this sudden impact from the force, everyone shivered and almost fell.

After the impact of this force dissipated, everyone then managed to stand upright, and they were startled. Gui Xian’s hand stretched out, “Don’t worry, it is normal for some ancient ruins to have defensive enchantments laid down by predecessors, but…”

Speaking of this, he looked at the center of the city in the distance. Because the distance was too far, he could not see it clearly, but he could vaguely see that there seemed to be dark clouds in the lower sky over there.

“It’s nothing, let’s go down.”

The crowd finally landed on the street in the city. Although it was a deserted city, it could still be seen that the city should be bustling in the past. The street was very spacious. Although the building has collapsed, it still had a style. No one had been here for at least a millennia.

Many places on the street were covered with moss, and it was soft to step on Ziyun’er seemed very excited. She stepped on the moss with Koo-chee beast and said with a smile, “If you rebuild this place, it will absolutely not be worse than Tianyuan City.”

“Koo-chee! Koo-chee, Koo-chee!” Koo-chee beast was also very excited, it looked at Xiao Chen and kept nodding.

Xiao Chen frowned and did not speak. For some reason, when he looked at the desolate scene here, those vines that covered the buildings looked like they had bright flowers blooming on them in one glance, and with one glance, it seemed like a beautiful shadow had passed by at the corner of the street. He seemed to be able to hear cheers and laughter of the past. But now, they were all gone, leaving only endless desolation.

Seeing his strange expression, Huangfu Xin’er frowned and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

Xiao Chen came to his senses and smiled, “It’s nothing.” As his voice fell, the ground suddenly shook. There was an unusually strange force coming from the depths of the earth.

The 12 people of the Hidden Fragrance Wafting Under the Moon were immediately on their guard and stood guarded beside Xiao Chen. Yang Qing and the rest also grabbed the sword hilt behind their shoulders and cautiously guarded.

“Don’t panic.” Gui Xian was the calmest of them all. He crouched down and placed his palms on the ground. Moments later, his expression became more and more solemn. Finally, he slowly relaxed his brows and said with a smile, “I was right, it’s the dragon vein! There’s a dragon vein here.”

“Dragon vein?” Xiao Chen frowned. Could it be that the Spiritual Qi of the dragon vein in here had all leaked out and caused the places that he had passed through before to have a strange phenomenon?

The rest of the people were also puzzled. Yi Tong nodded and explained, saying, “Some of the Earth Spiritual Meridian will produce branches. And once these branches leave the main meridian, as time goes by, there will be mutations. Some branches absorb a large amount of Negative Qi, and then it will form a Ghost Meridian. Some branches absorb Yang Qi, and then they will form a dragon vein. The dragon vein gathered the Yang and has great strength. If all the power of the dragon vein is gathered together, almost a state will be destroyed in an instant.”

Hearing this, everyone finally understood what he meant. Gui Xian stood up and said with a smile, “A dragon soaring up from the dragon vein is like a dragon in the sky and there will be am emperor. Boy, this time, the heavens are really helping you. You have a destiny of 9 deaths and 1 life, reborn after death, It seems that you are finally going to have your fate changed today.”

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “Senior, you must be joking.”

He had never thought of being the emperor that ruled the world. He just hoped that if he could use the Dragon Veins here to strengthen his strength, he then could make Mo Clan and Immortals’ League not dare to provoke him in the future.

Gui Xian nodded and said, “The dragon vein is used to gather Yang. Naturally, there are things that can restrain them. Yin and Yang neutralize each other. Therefore, the only thing that can restrain the Dragon Vein is the Ghost Meridian.”

“Ghost Meridian…”

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Last time in the Miasma Mountain Range, when he went to save Muxue, he seemed to have a vague feeling that there was a strange cold power under the ice cave. Later, the important figures of the Fort Raksasa Palace and Dark Shadow Hall came one after another. These people would never come to the Miasma Mountain Range for no reason. Could it be…

He was deep in thought when he suddenly felt a strange aura fluctuation in the distance. It was from the center of the city. Gui Xian’s expression immediately turned solemn as he said in a deep voice, “I knew it. The place with the Dragon Vein is definitely not ownerless. Looks like there’s going to be a fierce battle…”

As his voice fell, the fluctuation of the strange aura became even more intense. Everyone focused their attention on the center of the city. They could vaguely see that there were dark clouds in the lower sky over there. Today, the sky was sunny and definitely not raining. It was in fact a trouble.

“I guess the Barrier attack we encountered just now was set up by this person. Let’s go and see what it is!”

Gui Xian immediately led the way and everyone else followed suit. Before long, they arrived at the center of the city on their swords. The area shrouded by the dark clouds was like a grand palace. It took up a vast expanse of land and had a nine-story platform. Standing on the corridor, one could almost overlook the entire city.

But as time went by, many parts of the palace had collapsed. The walls and floors were covered with black vines, while the steps and the stone pillars were covered with moss and roots. It could not help but look a bit creepy.

In this large palace, there were no longer ornamented balustrades and jade, but there was still a sense of security. Ziyun’er stared into the palace with a fixed gaze, saying, “Is this an ancient imperial palace? This must be an imperial city. No wonder even when there are only ruins left. It’s still so magnificent.”

The rest of the people were also secretly nodding, especially Yang Qing and the others. Although the imperial palace in front of them was dilapidated, it still had its majestic aura, and its scale was no less than that of the imperial palace of the present big country, and it was even larger than it.

Qingluan and others had once stayed at the imperial palace of Xiyue State. Xiyue State was not a small country, but the palace was not as good as the one in front. When Xiao Chen first came to Violet Manor, he also visited the imperial palace of the Zhou State. But the palace of Zhou State was really too small as compared to the one in front.

“Let’s go down, be careful.” Xiao Chen reminded, and then everyone landed to the ground and walked step by step towards this imperial palace that was built on a nine-story platform.

At the top, after crossing the main square, the group of people stopped in front of the gate of the square inside. The two doors were long gone, and everyone was alert. Ziyun’er took a few steps forward, unknown of what she had stepped on, a gust of wind blew from the inside, followed by a ghostly voice.

“Is it you… Is it you who came back?”
