Chapter 39: Success

"My Lord!" Huo Guang returned and said respectfully.

"Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, stay and protect my three thousand soldiers," Yan Chuan commanded the two.

"Understood!" they replied in unison.

"Jiu Jiansheng? I would appreciate it if you could stay and help me keep an eye on these subordinates," Yan Chuan said, looking at Jiu Jiansheng.

"Very well!" Jiu Jiansheng agreed without hesitation.

"Yan Chuan is in your debt for this favor," Yan Chuan nodded.

"Haha, I didn't come here with any specific agenda anyway," Jiu Jiansheng replied with a smile.

"Liu Jin, give me that scroll," Yan Chuan reached out.

"Yes!" Liu Jin immediately handed over the spatial scroll.

"Everyone else, let us go!" Yan Chuan said.

"Understood!" Mo Yuxi nodded.

"Huo Guang, channel the power of the Feng Shui dragon veins into us and lead the way into the heart of the baleful energy," Yan Chuan ordered.

"Yes!" Huo Guang responded.

"Hum!"

The phantom image of the Army-Breaking Star reappeared around Huo Guang. Suddenly, the eight golden dragons above began to writhe.

"Scoundrel!" a roar of fury from Master Damiao echoed from high above.

"My Lord, I can only control four of the golden dragons; the other four have been intercepted by Master Damiao," Huo Guang said, frowning.

"That is enough! Move!"

"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar!"

The four golden dragons suddenly detached from the World-Suppressing Stone above and plunged downward. Their heads converged, forming a protective barrier around Yan Chuan, Mo Yuxi, Green Dragon, White Tiger, Yang Zhijiu, and Huo Guang.

With the four dragon bodies merged into a single head, the concentrated dragon aura shielded the six of them. They dashed rapidly toward the center.

At this moment, nearly half of the powerful figures present were watching intently. They were waiting for the Myriad Wonders Demon Lotus to be restrained so they could swarm in and seize it.

Some had set their sights on the three thousand soldiers, but with Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise, and Jiu Jiansheng standing guard, they dared not make a move.

The dragon aura enveloped the six, while the black energy outside gnawed fiercely at the golden barrier. The golden dragon head trembled violently.

"Will the dragon aura outside hold?" Yang Zhijiu asked with a hint of fear.

"It might not, so we must be quick!" Yan Chuan said solemnly.

"Then hurry, please hurry!" Yang Zhijiu urged, trembling.

The group moved nervously toward the center. The closer they got, the more the dragon head shook, as if it were on the verge of collapsing at any moment. Everyone was tense. The surrounding experts also clenched their fists, waiting for the outcome of Yan Chuan's venture.

Soon, they arrived at the target.

Up close, everything was visible in greater detail. The Myriad Wonders Demon Lotus emitted a deeply bewitching, wicked light. One look was enough to make a person feel intoxicated, as if the lotus could grant them infinite power. It felt as though whoever possessed it would become invincible.

Mo Yuxi, Yang Zhijiu, Green Dragon, White Tiger, and Huo Guang all felt their breathing grow ragged.

Yan Chuan, however, possessed profound self-control and remained completely undisturbed.

In fact, Yan Chuan’s gaze was not fixed on the Myriad Wonders Demon Lotus, but rather on the dark red circular dais that supported it. The dais was small, only ten feet wide, but it was enough to stir Yan Chuan.

"Iron Jade Essence? What a magnificent display! What an incredible treasure!"

Yan Chuan marveled inwardly.

Others might not have noticed, but Yan Chuan understood the rarity of the dais. Even now, with the Myriad Wonders Demon Lotus suppressed by the Feng Shui formation, if there were no solid object beneath it, the lotus could simply burrow into the earth, rendering any suppression useless. The Iron Jade Essence supported the weight of both the Feng Shui formation and the Myriad Wonders Demon Lotus.

Although the Iron Jade Essence lacked the spiritual sentience of the Myriad Wonders Demon Lotus, in terms of material grade, it was by no means inferior.
