He raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, then quietly climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.
His movements were swift and skillful, like a nimble cheetah.
The others were responsible for providing backup outside, each finding a concealed position and vigilantly watching the surrounding movements.
Inside the courtyard, an old man was meditating with his eyes closed, his body emanating a faint dragon aura.
The dragon's aura enveloped the old man like a soft halo, making him look like a hermit sage.
Wei Changxuan was overjoyed and was about to extract the dragon energy when he suddenly realized that the old man was no ordinary person.
His aura was calm and powerful, and the dragon energy within his body circulated in an orderly manner, clearly indicating that he possessed profound skill and his strength should not be underestimated.
The old man seemed to sense something amiss. He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as lightning, instantly fixing on Wei Changxuan. His voice was deep and authoritative as he asked:
"Who are you? Why have you trespassed into my courtyard?" His eyes were sharp, as if he could see through Wei Changxuan's thoughts, and the dragon aura around him surged slightly, as if he was wary of this uninvited guest.
Wei Changxuan bowed respectfully, his attitude sincere, and said, "Senior, my name is Wei Changxuan, and I have come here because of the matter of dragon energy."
This dragon energy is of great importance, concerning the safety and well-being of all people under heaven.
The martial world is in turmoil, with various forces eyeing the Dragon Qi covetously. If the Dragon Qi falls into the hands of evil people, it will surely trigger a catastrophe.
I humbly request that you entrust this to me, senior. I will safeguard it carefully and use it to protect the world.
He spoke earnestly, hoping to persuade the old man.
The old man snorted coldly, a hint of disdain on his face, and said:
"Dragon energy is a spiritual treasure of heaven and earth. How can you just ask for it? This dragon energy has been with me for many years and has long been an aid to my cultivation."
Asking for flowers
"If you want to take it, you'll have to get past me first!"
As he spoke, the old man's body surged with dragon energy, and he instantly assumed an attack stance.
He stood firmly on the ground, like a pine tree rooted in the earth. He raised his hands slightly, and dragon energy gathered in his palms, radiating a powerful sense of oppression.
Knowing that there was no way to resolve this peacefully, Wei Changxuan no longer hesitated. His expression hardened, and he drew his longsword.
The longsword was drawn from its sheath, emitting a clear dragon's roar. The blade gleamed with a cold light, as if anticipating a fierce battle.
He assumed a fighting stance, his gaze fixed intently on the old man, ready to face the impending challenge.
A thrilling battle is about to erupt in this tranquil courtyard.
The old man's hair and beard stood on end, and he suddenly roared, his voice booming like a bell, the sound waves seeming to carry a tangible force.
The shock caused the surrounding air to tremble slightly.
Immediately afterwards, he took a sudden step forward, and as he did, the ground seemed to be struck by a heavy hammer.
With a muffled "boom," dirt flew everywhere, and a deep footprint was clearly imprinted on the ground...
Chapter 225 Fierce Battle to Seize Dragon Qi!
The old man's arms moved with powerful and vigorous movements.
The force of the punch carried a powerful and majestic dragon aura, like surging waves.
With overwhelming force, it surged towards Wei Changxuan.
Wherever the fist passed, the air seemed to be squeezed violently by an invisible hand.
The "whooshing" sound seemed to be torn apart by this force, forming visible twisted ripples.
Wei Changxuan's expression was solemn, his eyes like sharp blades in the cold night.
He kept a close eye on the old man's every move, and no subtle change in his movements escaped his notice.
He took a deep breath, and his internal energy surged like a rushing river as he used all his skills to fight the old man.
His movements were as swift as lightning and as fast as a ghost, sometimes dodging sideways with the agility of a nimble ape, each sidestep precisely avoiding the trajectory of the punches.
At times, he would calmly parry with his sword, the blade colliding with the force of his fist, sparks flying everywhere.
Every movement was incredibly precise, as if meticulously calculated countless times, skillfully avoiding the old man's fierce attacks.
In the fierce exchange, Wei Changxuan's eyes became increasingly sharp. With his keen insight and extraordinary martial arts skills, he gradually discovered the flaws in the old man's moves.
His lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile of confidence, and he began to gain the upper hand.
He seized the opportunity, let out a loud shout that shook the surrounding area, and twirled his longsword in a dazzling display of skill.
Sunlight shone on the sword, reflecting a dazzling light, and it pierced the old man's vitals like a bolt of lightning.
The old man's pupils constricted sharply, his eyes filled with terror, and the muscles in his face twitched slightly with fear.
Trying to dodge, they found their bodies were as if bound by an invisible force, their movements becoming incredibly slow.
With a "thud," the sword energy struck the old man instantly, producing a dull thud.
It was as if a strong barrier had been broken through.
The old man's body flew backward several meters like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.
This attack caused the dragon energy within the old man to instantly spiral out of control, surging wildly like a runaway horse.
The dragon energy, which had been operating in an orderly manner, became violent and chaotic.
The dragon energy first surged and crashed through the old man's body, riddling his meridians with holes.
The old man couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, staining the ground in front of him red.
Then, the dragon energy burst forth from its body, transforming into a stream of light that flew towards Wei Changxuan.
Upon seeing this, Wei Changxuan immediately extended his right hand, palm facing upwards, and a powerful suction force emanated from his palm.
It was like a miniature black hole, drawing in the surrounding air and causing it to spin rapidly.
Under the influence of this suction force, the dragon energy obediently flew towards the Earth Book and was successfully absorbed into it.
The Earth Book shone brightly, emitting a dazzling light, as if celebrating this victory.
The light illuminated the entire courtyard, reflecting on Wei Changxuan's resolute face.
As the old man watched the dragon energy being taken away, the color drained from his face instantly, turning him as pale as paper, devoid of any color.
His body collapsed limply to the ground, limbs outstretched, as if he had lost all his strength.
His eyes were filled with resentment and despair, his lips trembled slightly, and he murmured to himself:
"I never imagined that I would ultimately lose..."
The voice was weak and hoarse, filled with endless disappointment...
Wei Changxuan stepped forward, bowed slightly, and looked at the old man with concern.
There was no trace of smugness in his eyes, only a faint pity.
Chapter 226 Returning to the Capital!
At this moment, Wei Changxuan said softly, "Senior, please forgive me."
My actions are also for the sake of all living beings. The martial world is currently in turmoil, and various forces are eyeing the Dragon Qi covetously.
If the dragon's energy falls into the hands of those with wicked intentions, the world will surely be plunged into chaos and suffering.
Countless people will be plunged into misery. We hope our elders will understand.
After speaking, he took out a delicate little bottle from his pocket, the bottle being engraved with exquisite patterns.
It's obvious at a glance that it's quite valuable.
He gently uncorked the bottle, poured out some healing pills, and gently placed them beside the old man.
Then she turned around, her clothes fluttering, and quickly left the courtyard.
In the following days, Wei Changxuan and his group, relying on their keen perception of dragon energy and their meticulously planned scheme,
Searching for hosts for the dragon's energy in every corner of Yongzhou City.
They sometimes wandered through the bustling city streets, where crowds thronged and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares and laughing filled the air.
They carefully concealed their presence, searching among the crowd for that faint, almost imperceptible, fluctuation of dragon energy.
Sometimes we venture deep into secluded mountain forests and ancient temples, where the forests are tranquil and profound.
The occasional chirping of birds added to the tranquility.
The ancient temple's architecture is solemn and simple, exuding the aura of time.
They carefully explored every corner of the ancient temple, leaving no place unexplored as to where dragon energy might be hidden.
Every operation is fraught with danger and challenges, sometimes encountering obstruction from other forces.
Sometimes they fall into mysterious traps, but with their formidable strength and seamless teamwork,
They repeatedly escaped danger and successfully absorbed the dragon's energy into the Earth Book.
As more and more dragon energy was collected, the light emitted by the Earth Book became increasingly dazzling.
Like a bright star, it illuminated the path for everyone and brought them endless hope.
"Young master, we have now collected most of the dragon energy, and it seems that we are not far from collecting the whole thing."
Mu Nanzhi's eyes sparkled with joy, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.
Her face was beaming with a bright smile, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing two shallow dimples.
She said happily, her voice clear and melodious.
Like a clear mountain spring, its gentle babbling brings a touch of relaxation to the tense atmosphere.
Wei Changxuan nodded slightly, his eyes also shining with anticipation for success and confidence in the future.
He said firmly, "That's right, with one or two more wisps of dragon energy, we'll be all done."
However, these last few wisps of dragon energy must have been hidden in an extremely secretive way.
Those forces that are hiding dragon energy must know the importance of dragon energy, and will definitely set up many traps and ambushes, and lay a net of heaven and earth.
We must not let our guard down; we must be cautious and careful in every step we take.
After successfully gathering most of the dragon energy in Yongzhou, Wei Changxuan and his group embarked on their journey back to the capital.
A simply decorated yet grand carriage sped along the official road, its wheels rolling.
