Hedao

Chapter 169 Entering the Dragon Vein Portal
There is a big pool at the entrance of the mountain.

Beside the big pool stands an altar as big as a house.

On the body of the altar is a giant beast with a hornless dragon head, four claws, an arched body, and a long tail. It is the image of the legendary chilong.

This chilong's body was engraved with runes, exuding a trace of majesty.

On the two sides in front of the altar stood a dozen or so men and women wearing blue robes with Chilong shapes embroidered on the sleeves.

In the middle of the front of the altar stood a man wearing a purple robe, with a bearded face, a tall and burly man with an unfathomable aura, standing in front of the altar casually, but giving people the feeling of a towering mountain and an unshakable feeling.

"Let's start offering sacrifices!" the big bearded man said with a voice like a bell.

"Yes!" The men and women in blue robes bowed in response.

Then, strange beasts were lifted up.

When the strange beasts were being carried up, the bearded man stretched out his hand to the altar, cut his hand with a knife, and then blood with a strong aura dripped down on the altar.

That drop of blood seeped into the runes on the altar.

The sky, which was originally bright and sunny, suddenly became stormy.

Endless clouds surged in and gathered over Panchi Mountain.

There was a faint sound of dragon chant coming from the depths of the big pool behind the altar, the sound became louder and louder, and then the water in the pool rose higher and higher, and then suddenly a phantom of a giant dragon rose into the sky, submerging into the churning clouds in the sky.

In an instant, thunder and lightning!
Thick dark clouds enveloped the entire Panchi mountain peak, and a hornless dragon's head poked out from the churning dark clouds, and opened its ferocious mouth towards the altar.

It is the head of the legendary chilong.

There was a great coercion descending from the sky with an ancient aura, not to mention the Jinli Martial Artists and True Strength Qi Refiners who had been discussing privately before, but the [-] Great Bone Refining Martial Artists and True Essence Master Qi Refiners. All of them also showed awe in their eyes, they didn't dare to take a breath, and cold sweat oozed from their foreheads.

The strange beasts were thrown onto the altar like sandbags one by one, and then they were sucked into the mouth of the dragon by the tornado.

As the strange beasts were drawn into the mouth of the giant dragon, the dragon's head became clearer and clearer, and the scales on it were lifelike, just like the real thing.

"Boom!"

An extremely dazzling and thick purple lightning descended from the dark clouds.

At the entrance of Panchi Peak, not far from the altar, a void was split open by lightning, revealing a dark crack.

The gap was like the opened pupil of a dragon.

Seeing this, the big man in purple robe and beard didn't know where to take out a water tank made of unknown material.

There is a rune seal on the water tank, just like a crystal screen, sealing the water tank.

Swimming in the water tank are ten water animals that are similar in shape to chilongs, but only have two claws on four legs.

The bearded man flicked back and forth on the seal a few times, and the crystal screen covering the water tank started to ripple.

Then, ten water beasts jumped out of the water and rushed out of the water tank.

As soon as these ten water beasts jumped out of the water tank, they grew in the wind. In a blink of an eye, they turned into a huge monster with a length of more than ten feet, a hornless dragon head, a python body, a snake tail, four legs, and two claws on each foot.

Clouds and mists shrouded the body of this behemoth, exuding a powerful aura.

"Is this Hua Chi? The aura is really different!" Qin Ziling's eyes revealed a smoldering look.

Everyone else is no exception!
Hua Chi, a fourth-rank mid-level beast.

The water system, with the blood of Chilong, has a mild medicinal effect, and its medicinal power is close to that of a fifth-rank exotic beast.

This particularity even made it worth more than some five-rank exotic beasts.

Not to mention the people present, even martial arts masters in the viscera refining realm and qi refining masters in the Fa Yuan realm would be very moved.

It's just that the Chiluo Sect is very powerful, and this dragon vein portal also needs people from the Chiluo Sect to open it. Therefore, the major martial arts and qi refining masters in Xiyun Prefecture, and all parties can only sign agreements with the Chiluo Sect. Eighteen great martial masters who entered the early stage of bone refining or great qi refiners who entered the early stage of true essence.

Hua Chi jumped out of the water tank, and after revealing his real body, he quickly shook his head and tail, rolled up clouds and mist, and flew into the gap one by one.

After all ten morphing chisels had entered the gap, that is, the portal of the dragon veins, the bearded man swept his eyes over the crowd below.

"Let's get started. Those who hold the Pan Chi Token and their attendants are the last to enter." The bearded man said.

So except for the 18 people who held the Pan Chi Token and their entourage, the rest of them walked to the dragon vein gate one by one, and then jumped into it.

"Xiao Qing?" When Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing followed the crowd towards the Longmai Gate and passed where Pang Tianpeng and the others were standing, Pang Tianpeng's face changed slightly, and his eyes suddenly revealed sharp sword-like gazes.

"Xiao Qing?" Cui Shanhe, who was a few steps away from Pang Tianpeng, changed his face slightly when he heard the words, and looked at Xiao Qing who was covered under the cloak, revealing a pensive gaze.

Xiao Qing pretended not to hear, and continued to walk forward.

But Pang Tianpeng flashed his body and reached out his hand to block Xiao Qing's way.

"I didn't expect you to have regained your strength, it seems that Lin Zhengji's disappearance must have something to do with you!
No wonder they couldn't find clues no matter how hard they searched at that time, you hid really deep! "Pang Tianpeng sneered, his eyes flickering with murderous intent.

"Mr. Pang, you have misunderstood the person." Xiao Qing made a hoarse voice.

"Xiao Qing, why do you bother? You and I were both recognized geniuses in Fangqiang City back then. We have fought against each other many times, and we are very familiar with each other.

You have to stand far away, even if I am a great bone refining martial artist, I may not be able to recognize you, but now that you and I are so close, could it be that you can still deceive me? "Pang Tianpeng smiled coldly again, reaching out to lift Xiao Qing's cloak.

With a movement of Xiao Qing's footsteps, his body flashed like electricity, dodging Pang Tianpeng's hand, and then slowly lifted the cloak, revealing that beautiful face with a hint of heroism.

"Pang Tianpeng, what do you want to do? Don't forget where this is!" Xiao Qing said coldly.

"Why would I do it here? Haha!" Pang Tianpeng laughed, his braided beard twitching non-stop, looking indescribably arrogant.

"Xiao Qing, after entering the dragon's veins, find a place to hide nearby and wait for my signal!" A thick and powerful male voice interrupted Pang Tianpeng's laughter.

Pang Tianpeng slowly put away his laughter, and looked at the man who spoke like a knife.

"I forgot about the relationship between the Cui family and the Xiao family!" Pang Tianpeng sneered.

"Thank you Patriarch Cui!" Xiao Qing cupped his hands towards Cui Shanhe, then strode side by side with Qin Ziling towards the Longmai Gate, without giving a clear answer.

"Patriarch Cui, this Xiao Qing is interesting!" Feng Ziluo, who was standing by the Cuishan River, watched Xiao Qing and Qin Ziling leave, and said.

"It's normal for young people to be a little arrogant, but when she sees the power of Hua Chi and the dangers inside, she will naturally know how to choose." Cui Shanhe said lightly, as if he was an elderly person.

"Tianpeng, the goal this time is to transform into a chi!" Mao Zongjun, standing next to Pang Tianpeng, said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, brother, it's just a Yihuajin martial artist and a water-type qi refiner. Killing them is just a incidental thing, how much impact will it have?" Pang Tianpeng said disapprovingly.

Mao Zongjun glanced at Pang Tianpeng indifferently when he heard the words, and stopped talking.

Qin Ziling, who was walking side by side with Xiao Qing, had a playful sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"I really thought that Master Qin and I were just a water-type qi refiner, but that was just released on purpose to confuse people's eyes!"

Thinking in his heart, Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing jumped up hand in hand, and stepped into the gate of Longmai.

As soon as they stepped into the dragon vein portal, Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing felt their bodies continuously falling. To be precise, the entire space they were in was continuously falling, and the surroundings were pitch black, as if they were about to fall into a bottomless abyss.

Xiao Qing's hand clasped Qin Ziling's hand tightly subconsciously.

After about ten or so breaths, Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing felt that the space was no longer falling, and their feet were on the real ground.

"This is where?"

The two looked up and saw that the surroundings were no longer pitch black, but the sky was dark, like dusk.

What the eyes can see is a world that is not much different from the ground, with mountains, water, and vegetation.

It's just that the vegetation here is much sparser than that on the ground, and the branches and leaves of many vegetation exude a soft light.

The sky was very low, and there was a band of clouds emitting blue light that seemed to span the entire sky.

The cloud belt faintly exuded a great majesty with an ancient aura, which was exactly the same as the aura Qin Ziling felt on the altar at the entrance of Panchi Mountain, but it was even more magnificent.

Wisps of blood seeped in from the void and merged into the blue cloud belt.

The blue cloud belt is faintly growing, and the light is also faintly brightening.

It is the vegetation on the ground and the light from the blue clouds in the sky that faintly illuminate the world.

"That should be the dragon's vein. This place is very likely to be the underground world opened up by the ancient Chilong under Panchi Mountain, and it disappeared with its passing away." Qin Ziling said with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"It's hard to imagine how powerful the ancient Chilong was, and it opened up such a vast and boundless underground world!" Xiao Qing said with great emotion.

"This place is not as vast as you imagined, it's only because of the light and the impact of sight that it feels like this.

It is estimated that people who come in from the dragon vein portal should all appear in the vicinity, so let's leave here first. "Qin Ziling said, felt it slightly, then tapped his toes lightly on the ground, and his figure flew towards the right like a ghost.

That direction gave Qin Ziling the feeling that the aura of the dragon vein was the most powerful, and the aura of water was also the most intense.

Seeing this, Xiao Qing quickly chased after Qin Ziling.

Not long after Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing left, people appeared one after another in the entrance area, and then left quickly, in different directions.

On the top of a mountain, Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing overlooked the surrounding area below.

From time to time, brilliant lights like fireworks shot up into the sky, briefly illuminating this dark underground world.
