Mu Jinyu watched the withered Dragon Vein in his hand, not caring whether it was feigning weakness or not, it no longer mattered.
Since it had entered Yinlong Mountain, it shouldn't even think about burrowing into the ground to escape. Was the Mountain-Protecting Array he had painstakingly set up just for decoration?
The Mountain-Protecting Array could not only stop enemies from invading but also prevent anyone or anything from leaving without permission.
"Hah!!"
With a long shout, Mu Jinyu grabbed the Dragon Vein and forcefully threw it downward, and the listless Dragon Vein suddenly took off towards the ground, free from its leash like a wild dog, happily scampering away!
Judging by this behavior, it seemed to intend to burrow into the ground and then escape from Yinlong Mountain.
If this Dragon Vein had consciousness, it would probably think, "I'm finally free. This time, I won't foolishly stay still and let that villain catch me..."
Unfortunately, it had no idea what kind of existence lay beneath the mountain peaks!
As the Dragon Vein burst into the mountain range, it saw another Dragon Vein resembling a giant python, its body flickering with crimson light and oozing endless Deadly Qi and Evil Qi, staring motionlessly at it.
The Jade Dragon Vein immediately began to tremble violently.
"Go!"
Mu Jinyu manipulated the spell with supreme force, suppressing the already dead Dragon Vein of the original peak, then directing the Jade Dragon Vein straight towards the serpent-shaped Dragon Vein that soared into the sky with deathly air!
Of course, his intention wasn't to let the Dragon Vein of Yinlong Mountain devour the Dragon Vein of Yulong Snow Mountain. This Dragon Vein was already long dead, having given rise to Dragon Resentment Evil Qi; allowing it to absorb the Snow Mountain Dragon Vein wouldn't revive it but would only increase its Evil Qi.
So, the best solution was to bring another Dragon Vein, to draw away the Dragon Qi of Yinlong Mountain's Dragon Vein, and to expel the Dragon Resentment Evil Qi. By doing this, the Jade Dragon Vein, having absorbed the dead Dragon Vein of Yinlong Mountain and tainted with the aura of Yinlong Mountain, would then be recognized by Yinlong Mountain.
However, it was extremely difficult. If not careful, the Jade Dragon Vein might transform into a similarly Deathly Shrouded Dragon Vein.
So caution was of the utmost importance!
Fortunately, when Mu Jinyu acquired the Dragon Vein of Yulong Snow Mountain, he had almost completed the setup of the Mountain-Protecting Array; otherwise, the difficulty would have been much greater!
Just as the Dragon Vein of Yulong Mountain rushed towards the immobilized Deathly Shrouded Dragon Vein, Mu Jinyu manipulated the spell again, and suddenly, the eel-like Jade Dragon Vein could not help but open its mouth and swallowed the Dragon Qi of the Deathly Shrouded Dragon Vein from Yinlong Mountain!
"Roar!!"
Why would the Deathly Shrouded Dragon Vein of Yinlong Mountain submit to slaughter? It began to struggle fiercely, its body exuding torrents of Deadly Qi. Instantly, the mountain that had nurtured it began to emit a crimson fog.
Even the Mountain-Protecting Array and the Deadly Array were somewhat helpless against it.
As the red fog surged out, every plant and animal on the mountain peak perished in a blink of an eye!
The animals died instantly. Then their Life Essence Qi was plundered, leaving them as mere skeletons, while the plants went from vibrant green to withering rapidly, and finally burst into powder with a bang!
The peak, which had appeared as lively as any other mountain, suddenly became a terrible barren land!
Luckily, Mu Jinyu knew there was an issue with the Dragon Vein in this peak and had always strictly forbidden anyone from entering. Thus, this sudden catastrophe did not result in any casualties.
"Shh!"
The crimson fog, like blood, that had devoured the vitality of the entire mountain, grew increasingly intense and then rolled up into the air.
It transformed into a ferocious and dreadful blood-red dragon head, lunging at Mu Jinyu to attack!
Although it had died due to the mishap which severed the Dragon Vein, it still possessed a trace of Spiritual Wisdom, knowing that Mu Jinyu was the master control. If it killed him, the terrible binding force that prevented it from moving freely would disappear. The tiny Dragon Vein that dared to erode its Dragon Qi would be devoured by it. Thus, while it could still mobilize the power of the external mountain, it didn't target the Yulong Snow Mountain Dragon Vein first but instead, attacked Mu Jinyu!
"I borrow the power of these vast mountains and rivers!"
Seeing the bloody fog condensing into a sinister dead dragon head attacking him, Mu Jinyu remained undaunted, stomping fiercely on the ground and shouted with his right hand wielding the spell!
"Whoosh whoosh..."
In that instant, as Mu Jinyu's voice fell, the other eight mountain peaks burst forth with resplendent golden light all at once!
"Ao hou!"
"Ao hou!!"
Clear and high-pitched dragon roars rang out as the dragon veins of those eight mountains released their robust Dragon Qi at the same time, forming pale golden Azure Dragon phantoms!
Unlike the Deathly Qi, Evil Qi, and Dragon Resentment that oozed from this mountain's Dragon Vein, the Dragon Qi from the other eight mountains was Upright and Magnanimous, their might was solemn and their presence was such that they could not be violated!
"Ao hou!"
The eight pale golden Azure Dragon phantoms soared into the sky, swirling and converging before setting their sights squarely on the Ninth Peak!
"Hou!!"
The vicious crimson dragon head, upon witnessing this scene, was also stunned for a moment, forgetting to assault Mu Jinyu!
By the time it regained its senses, the eight golden dragon phantoms had already closed in, roaring as they charged toward it!
"Bang!"
How could its Power of one dragon stand against the eight dragons? The nefarious dragon head was instantly scattered by the impact, disappearing like smoke!
"Ao!!"
Within the mountain, the Deathly Shrouded Dragon Vein, which was suppressed by the Mountain-Protecting Array, saw this scene and let out a reluctant roar.
Meanwhile, the Dragon Vein of Yulong Snow Mountain was still trembling and cautiously drawing on its Dragon Qi.
This made its originally silvery-white glow begin to emit faint traces of pale golden light!
"Ao hou!!"
After dispersing the crimson dragon head, the eight golden dragon phantoms circled and twisted in the sky before letting out another earth-shattering dragon roar and swooping down once more!
Almost in the blink of an eye, they plunged into the Ninth Peak below, charging at the crimson python-shaped Dragon Vein that was bound and struggling fiercely!
"Hm? This?!"
Mu Jinyu looked at this scene and couldn't help but furrow his brows deeply.
Because the actions of these eight Dragon Veins were not commanded by him but were instead acting independently, he began to suspect that they were there to save the Deathly Shrouded Dragon Vein!
Just as Mu Jinyu was about to intervene and disperse them, the next moment made him cease his movement, staring dumbfoundedly at the scene unfolding within the mountain.
Those eight Dragon Veins charged fiercely into Ninth Peak, rushing to the imprisoned Deathly Shrouded Dragon Vein, not stopping for a second, and violently collided with it!
"Bang!"
Instantly, the Deathly Shrouded Dragon Vein with its crimson body and endless writhing Evil Qi, Dragon Resentment, and Deadly Qi, was directly scattered by the force of the eight Dragon Veins!
How to describe it? It was like a car crash where a person is hit by a car, the body is flung dozens of meters away, but the soul remains at the scene of the accident!
The Dragon Resentment Evil Qi of this Deathly Shrouded Dragon Vein, much like a thrown body, was hit away by the eight Dragon Veins, leaving its Dragon Soul behind in its place...
A very faint Dragon Soul, but like the other eight Dragon Veins, it too radiated endless Upright and Magnanimous Energy, inviolable and stern!
"Hou!"
The dispersed Dragon Resentment Evil Qi in the distance, like a clump of mud, kept twisting and finally transformed back into a vicious python, giving a hiss before charging once again at its Dragon Soul!
