Chapter 85: Frantic Qin Fei, Who Ruined My Good Fortune!

“What on earth is going on…”

Qin Fei was about to go crazy, roaring in frustration.

In his excitement, he swayed and almost fell off his flying sword.

He quickly steadied himself.

The cataclysmic scene he had envisioned didn’t materialize.

“Didn’t you say it was foolproof?”

Qin Fei grabbed Ming He, shouting in rage.

Ming He got sprayed in the face with a mist of Qin Fei’s spit, shivering in fear.

“I-I-I… I don’t know either!” Ming He stammered.

He had already sent people deep within the earth veins, setting everything up.

As soon as their young master gave the order, the Demon Sect’s experts would break the barrier between the Fire Spirit Veins and Ice Spirit Veins, causing a catastrophic clash that would detonate the entire vein.

This was a prime piece of land—the ice and fire converged, blending the mysteries of yin and yang, creating a seemingly endless supply of Earth Veins Spiritual Energy.

Qin Fei was ruthless enough to destroy this treasure.

What would happen if the veins were detonated?

A vast area, with billions of lives, would be turned to dust in an instant.

In the name of the Demon Sect’s rise and his grand ambitions, he was utterly insane.

The spiritual energy erupting from the mountains was quickly waning.

The shaking peaks gradually calmed down.

It was as if an invisible hand in the heavens was forcefully repressing the released spiritual energy.

At this moment, Yuanlong City was in complete chaos.

Just moments ago, the earth shook violently, knocking everyone in the city off their feet, with houses collapsing and billowing smoke rising in various places.

Countless people snapped back to reality, terrified, scrambling to escape.

The cries, shouts, and chaos filled the city like a cacophony.

Inside the Xiao family estate, the clan members were terrified as well.

Xiao Zhenshan, the head of the Xiao family, remained composed and calm, directing his family to protect the estate while maintaining order in the city.

At this time, in the northern mountains of Yuanlong City, everything had fallen silent.

In the endless mountains, it was eerily quiet.

Birds and beasts had vanished without a trace.

High above, Qin Fei shoved Ming He aside and looked down at the mountains.

The ground below undulated like a dragon or snake, winding its way.

Beneath those rising ridges lay the earth veins.

“What a prime location!”

Qin Fei couldn’t help but exclaim at the sight before him.

The mountains ahead showcased the terrain of the Twin Dragons Competing for the Pearl.

The so-called twin dragons referred to the Fire Spirit Veins and Ice Spirit Veins beneath the ground.

At the heads of these two veins, there stood a lush little mountain.

That mountain was the “pearl” that the twin dragons were vying for!

Unfortunately, the energy in this earth vein had leaked out; even without being detonated, this place was already wasted.

“Who the heck ruined my plans…”

Qin Fei glared intensely at the giant entrance to the earth vein.

Suddenly, beams of sword light burst forth from the entrance.

Upon seeing those people, Qin Fei hurriedly ducked back into the clouds.

Ming He, however, took off.

He saw a figure grab little disciple Jiang Ting and rush towards Yuanlong City.

That person was ragged, unkempt, and looked like a beggar.

Right behind him came Jiang Qitian.

To Qin Fei’s shock, Jiang Qitian looked a complete mess, his face swollen like a pig’s head, covered in bloodstains.

How could the dignified sect leader of the Qingyang Sword Sect end up in such a state?

What on earth had happened inside the earth veins?

Qin Fei’s curiosity was piqued.

At this moment, the person holding Jiang Ting dashed into Yuanlong City, disappearing within.

Jiang Qitian was hot on his heels.

The one taken was his daughter, after all.

The Law Enforcement Elder and Transmission Elder, along with Lei Renjie, Li Yunhu, Yun Qianxue, and Ye Qingyao, also rushed out from the earth veins.

Qin Fei was so annoyed; once again, his plan had failed.

“Why is the Qingyang Sword in the hands of the Transmission Elder?”

Through the clouds, Qin Fei saw the Transmission Elder holding the Qingyang Sword.

“What the…”

Qin Fei was taken aback; that was the Qingyang Sword!

“Boom!”

Before Qin Fei could recover from his shock, a loud explosion erupted from the mountains ahead.

He hurriedly looked and saw the “pearl” at the source of the earth veins suddenly explode, sending dust flying and rubble soaring.

A gigantic dragon shadow charged out of the ground, and atop its head stood a figure.

That person, riding the great dragon in the high heavens, held up the divine pearl like they were ascending to immortality.

Everyone was stunned by this scene.

The dragon beneath that person’s feet was not a real dragon but a shadow formed from the spiritual energy of the earth veins.

The dragon shadow quickly merged into the divine pearl held in his hand.

“That’s…”

Qin Fei’s pupils constricted.

It was a man wearing a golden dragon-patterned mask.

“Why do I find him so familiar… Taiyin Dragon Pearl?”

Qin Fei almost shouted in disbelief.

“How is that possible…”

Qin Fei found it hard to believe; hadn’t that Taiyin Dragon Pearl been snatched away by that jerk Xiao Yang?

How could the Taiyin Dragon Pearl possibly be in this person’s hands?

That person radiated an overpowering presence, clearly a Martial Saint.

What was Xiao Yang’s relationship with this supreme being?

Qin Fei knew Xiao Yang like the back of his hand.

Especially in recent years, Xiao Yang had stayed on the mountain.

There was no way he could possibly know such a supreme being.

After all, this was a Martial Saint, the most powerful existence recognized in the entire cultivation world.

As for the legendary “immortal,” that was just in legends.

A Martial Saint at the Sacred Martial Realm was the strongest being on the Yuanwu Continent.

Beyond the Martial Saint lay the immortal legendary being.

Could it be that Xiao Yang offered the Taiyin Dragon Pearl to this Martial Saint?

Now it all made sense!

No wonder the earth vein hadn’t exploded; Xiao Yang must have presented the Taiyin Dragon Pearl to this Martial Saint and asked him to suppress the earth vein!

It had to be that way.

This was outrageous!

In his view, only a supreme being at the Sacred Martial Realm could subdue this earth vein.

Now that the Taiyin Dragon Pearl was in the Martial Saint’s hands, how could they ever get this treasure back?

Qin Fei was so frustrated he nearly spitted blood.

This treasure was lost to them forever.

“That bastard Xiao Yang…”

Qin Fei gritted his teeth.

He would have never dreamed that the esteemed figure wearing the golden dragon-patterned mask, holding the dragon pearl, was actually Xiao Yang.

At this moment, Xiao Yang raised the Taiyin Dragon Pearl high.

“Buzz!”

The Taiyin Dragon Pearl trembled.

A dragon roar seemed to resonate in the void.

The Taiyin Dragon Pearl suddenly shone brightly, wildly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

“Boom!”

Just then, another loud boom erupted as a surge of spiritual energy charged out from a valley, transforming into a dragon, with its claws outstretched towards Xiao Yang.

“This…”

Everyone who had escaped from the earth veins was dumbfounded at this sight.

This was earth vein spiritual energy, and it was forcibly drawn out by the supreme treasure in the Sword Saint’s hands.

Li Chenyu, Chu Lingxiao, and the others were utterly shocked.

The dragon shadow formed from the earth vein spiritual energy dove directly into the Taiyin Dragon Pearl in Xiao Yang’s hand.

Then, explosions rang out as streams of spiritual energy burst forth from the earth veins, transforming into dragons that soared into the sky.

In the endless mountains, numerous dragon shadows launched skyward, all rushing toward the Taiyin Dragon Pearl held high by Xiao Yang.

This scene was simply astonishing.

“Ten Thousand Dragons Compete for the Pearl…”

Everyone was frozen in awe at this spectacle.

What an earth-shattering phenomenon!

In Yuanlong City, countless people witnessed this incredible sight.

Many knelt down, prostrating themselves towards the northern mountains.

“The Sword Saint is going to use the entire prime earth vein to forge a weapon?” Li Chenyu trembled in amazement.

It was simply terrifying!
