Chapter 964 Bad news

The power of the dragon veins is revealed, and the aura of the green dragon roams in the hall.
The source of the green dragon's energy is located in the dragon coffin.
Everyone followed the clear light and saw that in the dragon coffin, the fourth prince, who had been dead for an unknown number of years, was holding a green bone in his hands.
This green bone is half an arm long, sapphire in color, crystal clear, with a strange head and tail. The bones are as good as the heaven and the earth, and the whole body is like a young dragon.
'Dragon Veins!!'
Elder Xiong Zhen felt that the blood in his body was boiling, and he was so excited that his eyes turned red immediately, and he rushed towards the dragon coffin, trying to seize the dragon veins in the coffin.
Shentu Ao was empowered by the aura of the green dragon, and his whole body was filled with light, as if his muscles and marrow had been cleansed. The aura that had been gradually declining became stronger and stronger again, and this time the dragon's power was even more majestic.
Seeing Elder Xiong Yan coveting the dragon vein, Shentu Ao showed anger and punched out.
A green dragon shadow roared and rushed straight towards Elder Xiong Zhen.
Elder Xiong Zhen turned his left hand into a python and fought with the green dragon. In just a moment, the green dragon's energy suppressed the demonic power. His arm was bloody and bloody, and he was blasted several feet away.
Mr. Xuan's greed suddenly arose, and when he saw this, he immediately said:
'Shen Shouxing, take the dragon vein for me, and I will give your son back to you!'
Shen Shouxing was slightly angry, his eyes cold.
He didn't like Master Xuan giving orders to him, but his stupid son had become a bargaining chip. Life and death were in the hands of others, and he had no choice.
But he also had some doubts in his heart.
Is this thing... really the dragon vein of the wilderness? Why are such heaven-defying things hidden in this lonely mountain tomb?
Elder Shen, he has never mentioned...
Shen Shouxing's eyes darkened, then he pulled out his white jade sword, activated the peak of the golden elixir, and with the crystallized spiritual power, the man and sword merged into one, and he attacked Shentu Ao.
Xun Ziyou never expected that during this trip to the Gushan tombs, he would be able to see with his own eyes the dragon veins of the Dahuang royal family.
Although I don’t know whether this dragon vein is real or fake, I can’t let it fall into the hands of the demon cultivator.
What's more, this Shentu Ao is absorbing the power of dragon veins.
If left unchecked and allowed him to resonate with the dragon vein, even if everyone joins forces, they may not be able to control him.
Xun Ziyou also activated Taixu Sword Technique, turning into sword energy and attacking Shentu Ao.
As for Master Gu and Fan Jin, they originally came here to save Mo Hua, but they had no idea that they would be involved in such an unbelievable cause and effect unknowingly. They were shocked and a little unbelievable.
If they say they don't want the dazzling, noble dragon vein, it is naturally impossible.
But fortunately, in the face of greed, both of them are still reasonable and know that this kind of thing is not within their reach.
This kind of life and death situation is not something they can get involved in.
Therefore, the two of them only guarded the periphery, occasionally stepping in to provide support, and then retreating with one blow. They did not dare to go deep into this kind of late-stage Jindan battle situation.
On the contrary, the two of them focused more on Mo Hua.
Even if they get something like dragon vein, they may not be blessed to enjoy it.
But Young Master Mo's safety is really related to the future blessings of the two of them.
Fan Jin and the other two were worried, and they kept staring at Mr. Xuan, thinking that if there was a chance, they would snatch Mo Hua away.
Mo Hua was still dull on the surface, but he was secretly paying attention to the battle situation.
As soon as the dragon vein appeared, the situation became more and more complicated.
And the battle gradually became more intense.
Shen Tu Ao relied on the power of the blue dragon to fight one against three, while dealing with the close combat of the demonic elder Xiong Yan, the sword skills of Shen Shouxing and Elder Xun, and the vicious blood poison of Young Master Xuan, as well as the mental interference from time to time. Taoist demon...
Mo Hua watched the battle of these golden elixirs.
At first, he had other things on his mind, but as he watched, he became more focused.
This is a great opportunity to watch the action.
There are many things to pay attention to in the battle between cultivators.
Cultivation, Taoism and physical skills, these apparent strengths are certainly important.
But the experience of fighting is also very precious.
Without the experience of actual combat, even if you have some cultivation, you are just talking on paper and cannot be considered truly powerful.
The cultivators present included cultivators from big families, elders from big sects, powerful demon cultivators, and descendants of the emperor from the Great Wilderness lineage.
These people fight to the death, frequently use their killing moves, their methods change, and they switch between offense and defense. There are so many things that can be referenced and learned from.
Practice is the best teacher.
Mo Hua cannot participate in this kind of Jindan level battle yet, but he can learn it first.
After breaking through the golden elixir in the future, he will use all of this for himself, and step by step he will become a truly powerful golden elixir cultivator who is proficient in fighting and killing.
Mo Hua's eyes gradually deepened, and as his eyes moved, he recorded this golden elixir-level battle in detail and engraved it in his mind.
Looking at it, Mo Hua suddenly frowned.
Others may not understand it, but as a formation master, Mo Hua can sense that the four-elephant dragon pattern on Shen Tu Ao's body is undergoing subtle changes.
And he had previously restored a part of it through calculations - that is, the first eighteen formations of the Four-Elephant Blue Dragon Formation.
Comparing the two aspects, this perception becomes more and more vivid.
The Four-Elephant Blue Dragon Formation on Shentu Ao's body is indeed changing. It is being 'corrected' by the dragon's veins aura and is transforming from an evil dragon into a real green dragon.
And through further calculations, Mo Hua can sense that the changes in the dragon pattern actually include a large number of 'evolutions' of the four-elephant demon pattern.
It was as if all this had been calculated in advance.
First use ten thousand demons to raise the evil dragon, and then turn the evil dragon into a blue dragon...
The more Mo Hua thought about it, the weirder he felt.
In the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, all kinds of demon patterns and animal patterns collected passed through his mind one by one like flashes of light.
In the flash of lightning, Mo Hua suddenly felt shocked and had an epiphany.
He understood what exactly Mr. Tu did in the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, and how he used the Ten Thousand Demons to raise the four-elephant dragon pattern.
The so-called dragon is not a single mythical beast.
Its head is a horse, its antlers are a deer, its eyes are a turtle, its ears are an ox, its scales are a fish, its body is a snake, its claws are an eagle, and its palms are a tiger...
Only by gathering the strengths of all monsters can one become a dragon.
Mr. Tu followed this principle and hunted monster beasts and raised monster cultivators in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. He also used these monster beasts and demon cultivators to conduct extensive experiments and research, and applied the Four Symbol Demon Patterns in depth.
0000000000000000000000
Then, take the essence of the powerful demon patterns and fuse them together to piece together an 'evil dragon' with powerful demon power.
The deduction of this formation is similar to 'Return to the Origin'.
But it's not that they become one, but more like a kind of 'stitching' and 'splicing' that takes the strengths of each family.
Because it condenses the strengths of all the demons, the Four Symbols Evil Dragon can make all the demons surrender and become extremely powerful.
After the Ten Thousand Demons Valley was exposed, many things were destroyed in advance.
And those destroyed array diagrams, classics, jade slips, and various records must all be about the research of this kind of demon pattern 'transforming into a dragon'.
This is also where Mr. Tu’s true attainments in formations lie.
But this is not enough.
The finishing touch still needs to be done.
After gathering the patterns of all monsters, the dragon drawn can only be an evil dragon, and even in the final analysis, it can only be regarded as a 'demon'.
If you want to turn a demon into a real dragon, you need something special.
And this thing is the dragon vein.
Use the pure azure dragon energy in the dragon's veins to cleanse the demonic aura and evil power, and melt all the demonic patterns into one, turning them into the real 'Azure Dragon Array'.
Mo Hua secretly took a breath.
This is a real big deal and a big strategy.
As a formation master, how could Mo Hua not know that this kind of formation experiment requires a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources.
During this period, I don’t know how many years it took, how many demon cultivators died, how many demon patterns were tested, and finally the four-elephant dragon diagram was pieced together and engraved on Shen Tu Ao’s body.
And now, this Qinglong Qi initiation is the final touch of this 'finishing touch'.
All of this can only be seen through Mo Huas.
No one present knew this.
They are not formation masters, most of them have never been to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, have not studied the Four Symbol Demon Patterns in depth, and do not know much about Mr. Tu.
Therefore, they only saw the dragon veins.
But one cannot see that this dragon vein involves a long, complex and grand structure of the four-elephant beast formation from beginning to end.
Mo Hua wanted to speak and give a few words of warning, but now he was 'seed by the Taoist Demon' and was a puppet, unable to speak.
Of course, there was no need for him to speak.
The few cultivators present were all experienced in monasticism. Although they did not understand the formation, they soon realized something was wrong.
There is something in Shentu Ao that is transforming step by step.
They don't understand the principles, but they probably know how to do it.
Shen Shouxing immediately said: 'Cut off his dragon vein energy!'
Xun Ziyou and Elder Xiong Zhuang did not dare to neglect, and immediately took action to cut off the connection between Shentu Ao and Dragon Vein.
Elder Xiong Yan fought closely and forced Shentu Ao back.
Xun Ziyou activated his sword intent to strangle the green dragon's aura.
Shen Shouxing's white jade sword was shining brightly and struck the green dragon formation pattern all over Shen Tu Ao.
Mo Hua felt a little confused.
He was afraid of Shen Tu Ao, so he absorbed the power of Qinglong and killed Elder Xun Ziyou and several others.
He was also afraid that Elder Xun Ziyou and the others would use too much force and destroy Shentu Ao's body, which had washed away the evil spirit and gradually became complete.
But now, the situation is ever-changing, and it is unlikely that the situation will develop according to his intentions.
After dozens of rounds, with the cooperation of Elder Xun and Demon Cultivator Xiong, Shen Shouxing swung his long sword, setting off a heavy sword energy, which condensed into a sword curtain, completely cutting off the resonance between Qinglong's energy and Shentu Ao. .
The formation patterns on Shentu Ao's body also stopped truly 'dragon transformation'.
Several people also started a real life and death fight.
The battles between the fields became more and more fierce.
Shen Shouxing, Xun Ziyou, Elder Xiong Yan, and Shen Tu Ao all began to be injured, and as the fighting became more intense, the injuries gradually worsened.
Their spiritual power and vitality are also losing little by little.
The battle between masters often involves perseverance and endurance until the end.
Shentu Ao was one against three. No matter how strong his perseverance was and how strong his body was, he would still be at a disadvantage in a long battle.
No other late-stage Jindan cultivator would be able to sustain it for so long.
Finally, after fighting for hundreds more rounds, Shentu Ao's blood began to bottom out again.
Shen Shouxing seized the opportunity and broke his dragon scales with a sword, stabbing his heart. However, Shen Tu Ao's body was like steel. The sword broke his skin but could not penetrate his chest.
Shentu Ao roared angrily and wanted to resist.
At this moment, Elder Xiong Yan's arms were like wild pythons, and he strangled half of Shentu Ao's body.
Xunzi You took advantage of the opportunity and nailed Shentu Ao's left shoulder with his sword.
Shentu Ao, who was seriously injured, was unable to struggle for a moment. He burst into anger and roared like a trapped animal.
As long as Shen Shouxing uses all his strength and adds another sword, he can penetrate his heart.
By that time, even if Shentu Ao did not die, he would still be seriously injured.
But at this moment, Shen Shouxing turned his sword and slashed at Xun Ziyou who was standing aside.
Along the way, Xun Ziyou had actually been wary of Shen Shouxing, but after being surrounded by Shen Tu Ao and experiencing successive hard battles, he was somewhat neglectful.
Therefore, this sword caught him somewhat off guard.
By the time Xun Ziyou reacted, Shen Shouxing's sword light had already gone straight to his heart.
This was a sword at the peak of the Golden Core, or a sudden cold arrow. Others did not expect it, and even if they did, they could not stop it at all.
But because he had been wary in his heart and his instinct was still there, at the critical moment, Xun Ziyou subconsciously turned sideways.
Shen Shouxing's long sword deflected a few inches and struck Xun Ziyou's shoulder, the sword energy strangling his flesh and blood.
Xun Ziyou could only leave Shentu Ao behind and retreat.
Elder Xiong Yan could not suppress Shentu Ao alone, so he had no choice but to retreat a few feet.
Shentu Ao broke free from the restraints and stood up slowly.
For a moment, the four of them formed their own formations, each with murderous intentions, and became wary of each other.
Xun Ziyou glanced at the sword wound on his shoulder, then looked at Shen Shouxing and said coldly:
'Elder Shen, what do you mean?'
Shen Shouxing looked indifferent and felt regretful.
0000000000000000000
Elder Xun was still too vigilant. He had only given him one chance along the way.
Despite this, he still dodged the sword.
Otherwise, if the long sword penetrates his heart and the sword energy is twisted again, he will almost be able to explain it here.
Shen Shouxing looked at Xun Ziyou silently. Now that things had happened, he no longer needed to be secretive, so he said calmly:
'For the sake of my Shen family, I am afraid that I will embarrass Elder Xun and stay here at the bottom of the Gushan tomb.'
Xun Ziyou was not surprised, his eyes were like swords, 'So, is all this really done by the Shen family?'
'It was your Shen family who caused the mining disaster, killed hundreds of thousands of mine workers, and then sealed the mine with tombs so that these suffering mine workers would never see the light of day again after their death?!'
Xun Ziyou's tone was filled with anger.
Everyone's expressions changed, and Mo Hua's heart trembled slightly.
Shen Shouxing's eyes were dim and he said nothing.
'Are you acquiescing by not speaking?' Xun Ziyou's eyes narrowed, followed by sarcasm, 'Your Shen family is really brave. There are so many innocent cultivators in the whole mine... If you say kill, you will kill...'
Xun Ziyou looked at Shen Shouxing again, 'You are responsible for Gushan, and you can serve as the powerful elder of the Shen family without being in the realm of enlightenment. You must have made great contributions. This contribution must be to kill. Have you repaired these mines?”
'The mining disaster back then was planned and executed by you, Shen Shouxing, Elder Shen, right?'
Xun Ziyou's tone was cold, but he suppressed his anger.
As soon as these words came out, the scene was dead silent.
Everyone present was silent.
Even if they didn't know before, after entering the tombs and mass graves and seeing so many corpses and piles of corpses, everyone had more or less already made assumptions in their minds.
It's just that no one pointed it out.
Pretending not to know can also temporarily conceal the truth.
Once it is revealed and confirmed what the Shen family has done, it will almost immediately become a fight to the death.
The Shen family will definitely be silenced.
In the Gushan Mine Disaster, more than 100,000 casual cultivators died tragically.
Such shocking evil deeds are almost enough to shake the foundation of the Shen family.
Daoting will never let go of the Shen family.
The Shen family will also face criticism from all sides, and their face will be completely ruined.
From the current point of view, Shen Shouxing actually had no intention of letting everyone get out of the Lonely Mountain alive from the beginning.
Fan Jin's scalp was numb and his heart was bitter.
His worst premonition came true. This calamity has not been avoided after all.
Master Gu on the side felt cold in his heart, and at the same time, he was extremely angry.
He was so angry that he was shaking all over. He almost gritted his teeth and said word by word:
'The hundreds of thousands of casual cultivators in Gushan were all killed and died in this dark mine...'
'Shen Shouxing, can you really live with your conscience? Are you really not afraid of...retribution?'
Shen Shouxing looked indifferent, but his forehead was beating constantly, and he was struggling inside, as if he didn't want to recall this nightmare from the past.
The scenes of so many mine repairmen being trapped and killed, and the confused, helpless, lonely and desperate faces, broke through the dusty memories and emerged in his mind.
These were his personal decisions, which were equivalent to the killings he had committed with his own hands.
There was a crack in Shen Shouxing's character.
But his face was still numb and cold, 'I...have to do this.'
Xun Ziyou sneered.
Shen Shouxing ignored the sarcasm and sighed softly:
'In a big family full of geniuses, it's really hard to climb up. If you don't live in it, you won't understand.'
'Especially for children who come from a bad background, are of common blood, and are on the edge of family power, it is even more difficult to climb up.'
'Every good thing belongs to others.'
'You can only follow others, share some scraps that others don't want, and you have to be humble and grateful...'
There was a trace of anger and pain in Shen Shouxing's eyes.
'I have tasted this kind of life, so I don't want to live this kind of life, and I don't want my son or grandson to live this kind of life in the future.'
'So, I'm going to climb up, climb up at all costs.'
Xunzi remained silent, and then said calmly: 'So, this Gushan Hundred Thousand Mine Cultivator has become a stepping stone for you to climb up?'
'I didn't want to kill them.' Shen Shouxing said indifferently, 'I am not a person who kills indiscriminately, but they made a big fuss and even got out of hand. If this continues, a large number of loose cultivators will develop into mobs and refugees. The Shen family cannot accommodate them, so there is only one way to go...bury them together with Gushan.'
Master Gu's anger welled up, 'You, the Shen family, occupied their mountains, took away their mines, and forced them into desperation, but you blame them for causing trouble?'
Shen Shouxing said: 'They lost the mountains themselves, and they sold the mines themselves. The casual cultivators were short-sighted and lost the foundation of their lives for temporary gain. What does it have to do with my Shen family?'
'You...' Master Gu was filled with anger and pointed at Shen Shouxing with trembling fingers, unable to say a word.
Xun Ziyou said coldly: 'No matter what the reason is, you can't go crazy and kill so many casual cultivators...'
Shen Shouxing was indifferent for a moment and sighed softly: 'They... are useless...'
'Dig the mine, my Shen family has large spiritual weapons, so we don't need their help.'
'They are already poor, and you can't earn spiritual stones from them.'
'The only thing of value was the lonely mountain where they had grown up for generations, but they sold it all out of selfish gain.'
'Think about it for yourself, what else can they be used for?'
'In addition, these hungry and poor casual cultivators will also make trouble. In this way, I can't keep them.'
'Keeping them is not good for my Shen family, Daotingsi, Gushan, or even the stability of the entire Qianxue State.'
'If cultivators want to make progress, aristocratic families want to develop, and the cultivation world wants to prosper, it is natural to step on the bones of these low-level people.'
'This has been the case since ancient times.'
'It's just that some people can see it and some people can't.'
'Those who can see are helpless; those who cannot see or do not want to see are indifferent...'
