Chapter 675: Prey to the Slaughter
Six days ago, when Long Haotian discovered the secret under the electric sea pool, he immediately informed everyone of the situation.
Although it feels a little incredible, when you carefully ponder the legend of the dragon in the royal capital, everyone no longer feels strange about this possibility.
Moreover, it was precisely because of Long Haotian's words that several old men remembered an even older legend about this giant dragon, which was the location of the dragon's head.
Since this stretch of mountain is the embodiment of a dragon, it stands to reason that it should have a dragon head and a dragon tail. It is said that before dying, the dragon formed a circle around his body and placed his head in the center of the circle. If viewed from above, it looks like a giant "E".
And the horizontal of the "e" word is where the dragon's head is. It's just that after the fall of the dragon, the dragon's head was gradually annihilated by the loess. And the loess has great power under the remnants of the dragon.
The ancestors of the Purple Cloud Sect, as well as many other sects, had established their respective forces in this land of strength in the first place. It wasn't until much later that it became the royal capital of the Purple Cloud Kingdom.
Of course, this story is not widely circulated today, and it is almost only recited from the mouths of a few Supreme Elders. Even Nan Jinxian and Di Wuya had never heard of it.
But at the beginning, a few old men didn't believe in such a long-standing but well-said thing. It's like having doubts that this mountain is really the result of a dragon.
But today, when Long Haotian said the situation under the electric sea pool without any doubt, and was preliminarily confirmed by a few old men, everyone immediately believed in those legends.
And, although the holes that appeared in front of everyone's eyes were so dense that it made people's scalps tingle. But as soon as they thought that if they followed one of the secret passages, they might be able to bypass the "Purple Cloud Thousand Thunder Array" unknowingly and enter the royal capital to kill Qin Li by surprise, and everyone's hearts swelled with a burst of inexplicable excitement.
It didn't take long for everyone to agree and get off quickly.
However, before leaving, Long Haotian's powerful intuition faintly sensed that something was wrong behind this.
Although he didn't want to be presumptuous, Long Haotian absolutely believed that Qin Li had been the king of Ziyun County for so many years, and he would definitely know much more secrets than himself. This secret passage Chu Guyun was not familiar with, and all the Supreme Elders were not familiar with it, but Qin Li was not necessarily unfamiliar.
Nowadays, the forcible attack has become delusional, and if this method of his own really works, then this will become a way to break through the royal capital and save the city of Huashan.
But the question is, if he is as meticulous as Qin Li, will he ignore this? Could it be that this is a trap that Qin Li has specially laid for himself? Long Haotian always faintly felt as if there was an invisible force pushing him to think in this direction. But it's hard to say what's wrong.
However, for these concerns, Long Haotian still did not say anything after all.
Because, he felt everyone's determination to fight Qin Li to the death and capture the royal capital. Especially Shao Lao, Long Haotian can feel his love for Kun Lao to this day, as well as his bitter hatred for Qin Li. Long Haotian felt that no matter how dangerous it was, at least this time he had to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman.
So in the end, Long Haotian and everyone entered from the bottom of the Heavenless Peak Electric Sea Pool, and followed the dazzling dragon meridian secret passage towards the direction of the royal capital.
Soon, however, a dilemma arose before them. That is, in front of them, two forks in the road.
As you can imagine, since the dragon's body presents an "e" rather than a closed loop, this direction is crucial. If you choose the wrong one and go to the tail of the dragon, then the delay will not be a day or two.
Long Haotian's spiritual power can't be completely extended too far now, so before this dilemma, he chose to be silent very "shrewdly".
As soon as he was silent, the old men began to express their opinions. In the end, since this was under the Wutian Peak Electric Sea Pool, Elder Wutian "tried his best to disagree" and asked him to have the final say.
In the end, under the assurance of Elder Wutian's chest, everyone spent about two days and two nights to reach the dragon's tail. Looking at the desperate road in front of him, Elder Wutian was almost not killed by several other old men.
Elder Wutian was helpless, and mentioned that it was better to explore the mountain peak that was directly opposite the dragon's tail. As a result, this bad idea was rejected by everyone. After all, no one knows if there will be Qin Li's eyeliner on the mountain peak. Going out rashly will be in danger of startling the snake. In the end, everyone had to go back the way they came.
Fortunately, there was Long Haotian in their team. The strong soul power allows him to do it completely without forgetting, ensuring that the team will not take the wrong path. In front of this dense forest-like secret passage, the others were already on the verge of fainting, but he could do it with ease. It's like the night is an obstacle for a normal person, but it doesn't bother a blind person.
It took another two days, and everyone went back to the bottom of Wutian Peak, and it took almost four more days to finally see a little difference in front of them, and it was suspected that it was really the dragon's head.
And at this time, everyone finally understood one thing, that is, in fact, if in terms of absolute distance, Wutian Peak and the dragon head were extremely close. It's just to the left of the "e" side.
As a result, because of Elder Wutian's blind self-confidence, everyone wasted four days in vain.
Moreover, since these secret passages are actually transformed by the dragon's meridians, many of them contain powerful thunder liquid. In order to ensure passage, anyone above the Demon Tribulation Realm needs to open the True Yuan Barrier.
Opening for a while and a half is not a problem, but it can be opened continuously for nearly seven days and seven nights, which is a huge loss of everyone's true yuan power. Therefore, in the end, the poor Elder Wutian could be said to have endured the cold eyes of the old men.
Of course, Long Haotian, Ji Wuchen and Shao Lao were on his side. After all, the three of them had only completed the journey under the blessing of the Heavenless Elder True Yuan Barrier. Although Long Haotian also wanted to count a few words from the old man, but after all, he had a short mouth to eat people!
In the end, everyone found that the secret passage in front of them became wider and wider, and the power of the thunder liquid in it became stronger and stronger. Long Haotian was basically sure that they had come to the place where the dragon heart was. And in fact, he was not wrong.
After searching for the location of the dragon's heart for a long time, everyone finally gradually approached the surface. And Long Haotian's powerful spiritual power also sensed the movement on the ground, and everyone jumped out of the Dragon Heart Spring.
"Master!"
When Ji Wuchen saw Lian Chengbi's haggard appearance, his heart ached to the extreme.
"Qin Li!" Chu Guyun shouted angrily, "You boast of having the protection of the 'Purple Cloud Thousand Thunder Array', and this royal capital is as solid as gold. But you would never have dreamed that we would come in from here, would you?"
"Hahahaha!" Qin Li laughed loudly, "Chu Guyun, Chu Guyun, look around, don't you understand something?"
"Huh?"
When they heard this, they hurriedly looked around.
I saw that under the decisive battlefield, the six hundred disciples had already surrounded themselves at this moment, and in the corners of the audience, each stood a strong man in a red and gold robe, each with a murderous aura. It's like a group of killers, watching a group of prey that has been baited and ready to be slaughtered.
