Chapter 2529 Dragon Soars in the Wild

A large army has entered the country, and the border is in dire straits!

The arrival of the royal army on the battlefield immediately shattered the century-old balance between the two countries. The previously stalemate turned into a one-sided affair, with the enemy force penetrating deep into the heart of the Kingdom of Jiaosheng. The army of Jiaosheng began to retreat steadily from the point of engagement, and rumors spread like wildfire.

In the minds of the cultivators in this region, the power of the Five Kingdoms was deeply rooted. When they learned that the enemy came from the royal palace of the Zhu Qian Dynasty, many people felt that disaster was imminent and lived in constant fear.

Indeed, the enemy advanced unimpeded into the country of Kakusho, as if it were their own territory.

Anger lingered in the hearts of millions of people in the Horned Kingdom, but even more so, fear. The powerful Shadow God Kingdom had already been overthrown by them, and they would not be afraid of the Crimson Fusion Kingdom. However, the Zhu Qian Dynasty was one of the Five Superior Kingdoms, and for countless years, any immortal kingdom that attempted to challenge the status of the Five Superior Kingdoms had ended in destruction.

The Five Kingdoms were an insurmountable mountain. They originally thought that the Red Rong Kingdom was their last opponent, but they never expected that it would be intolerable to the Zhu Qian Dynasty.

Why is Heaven so unjust? Why is the fate of the Horned Blossom Kingdom so precarious? Countless people questioned the heavens. Looking at the rise of other immortal kingdoms, few have faced such a arduous path as the Horned Blossom Kingdom. They had no time to catch their breath, constantly facing one powerful enemy after another.

As defeat after defeat came back, the country of Kakusho was pressed forward by the enemy, but instead suffered repeated setbacks and was unable to achieve a major victory. In addition, as rumors grew, a sense of despair quickly spread throughout the country.

Some say the ruler is immoral, others say the Five Thunder Sect has grown too rapidly, arousing the suspicion of the Zhu Qian Dynasty, and still others claim that the leader of the Five Thunder Sect is actually a demon in disguise, causing chaos and thus unacceptable to the world...

As the Kingdom of Jiaosheng retreated again and again, it was impossible to expect the local garrisons to resist the Royal Palace and the army of the Kingdom of Chirong. Almost wherever the army passed, the garrisons immediately surrendered, like an avalanche, which further exacerbated this despair.

Before this, no one could have imagined that the once-powerful Kakusho Kingdom would be so vulnerable and show signs of defeat so quickly.

Even the original inhabitants of the Kingdom of Horned Blossom, who witnessed its rise from a tiny nation to its peak, turning the impossible into possible time and time again, fell into deep despair, believing that this would be the end for the Kingdom of Horned Blossom.

Looking at the map of the Kingdom of Jiaosheng at this moment, the enemy has torn open a large gap and is advancing all the way into the heart of the country. It is a major taboo for an army to penetrate deep into enemy territory, but the enemy's move shows their absolute confidence and strength. It seems that most of the territory still belongs to the Kingdom of Jiaosheng, but the crisis is already imminent.

Countless eyes were fixed on the capital of the Horned Kingdom and the headquarters of the Five Thunder Sect.

The invincible enemy intensified the wait-and-see attitude. In the Kingdom of Kakusho, too many powerful forces were obedient but disobedient; they could join Kakusho and then betray their country to join the enemy. For them, who the ruler was was irrelevant; they were always just regional lords.

If the Kingdom of Kakusho had the upper hand or if the two sides were deadlocked, these forces would have resisted. But now that the situation is one-sided, all they think about is surrendering as soon as the enemy army is at their gates. Even though the capital city is urging them repeatedly, they choose to turn a blind eye and will not send a single soldier.

The feudal lords are unreliable, but the Kingdom of Jiaosheng still possesses the most trustworthy and mysterious force—the Five Thunder Sect!

It's no secret that the ruler of Jiaosheng Kingdom is merely a puppet, and the leader of the Five Thunder Sect is the true master of the kingdom. In the most critical times, everyone relied on the Five Thunder Sect, and they were all waiting for the sect to step forward again and turn the tide.

What's puzzling is that the Five Thunder Sect has remained silent and refrained from making any major moves. What conspiracy are they plotting, or are they afraid of King Zhilian and King Chuxu and dare not fight back?

Then someone stepped forward to explain the reason: the reason why the Kingdom of Jiaosheng was able to advance so rapidly was not because the Five Thunder Sect was so strong, but because the three kings, including the King of Beilu, were secretly supporting it. Now that the three kings are in trouble and can't take care of themselves, the leader of the Five Thunder Sect has repeatedly asked for help but failed to get reinforcements, which naturally exposed the fact that the Kingdom is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Seeking refuge with the three kings was the beginning of the destruction of the Jiaosheng Kingdom. It was short-sighted to not see that King Chuxu and King Zhilian stood between this territory and the three kings. Once things changed, the three kings would not be able to come to the rescue in time. And that was indeed the case!

The rumor spread like wildfire, and the Five Thunder Sect's performance seemed to reflect it. The enemy army advanced swiftly and triumphantly, while the Five Thunder Sect remained silent. The enemy easily destroyed the Five Thunder Sect's thunder towers along the way, offering no resistance whatsoever, making people increasingly believe that they were truly all bark and no bite.

Perhaps the leader of the Five Thunder Sect has already led his disciples to abandon the country and flee. With so many disciples, as long as they don't provoke the Five Superior Kingdoms and repeat the same mistakes, the Five Thunder Sect can rise again at any time. Why should they stubbornly defend the Horned Life Kingdom?

Given the current situation, the destruction of the Kingdom of Horned Life is a foregone conclusion. Various lords have begun to prepare to surrender to the Kingdom of Crimson Melody, and some are even stirring up trouble, preparing to attack the Thunder Tower of the Five Thunder Sect as a gift to the new ruler.

As the enemy army approached the capital of the Kingdom of Horned Life, the feeling of despair reached its peak.

Yuan Zuo sat in a corner of the main hall, with a map formed from spiritual energy floating in front of him. It occupied almost the entire hall and encompassed the entire territory of Jiao Sheng Kingdom. On the map, a scarlet line was extremely eye-catching, and wherever it passed, banners collapsed.

Yuan Zuo stared unmoved as the red line swallowed the banners in front of him. He had done his utmost; victory or defeat lay not with him and the Horned Kingdom, but with the mysterious leader of the Five Thunder Sect.

For some reason, he had strong faith in the leader of the Five Thunder Sect.

At this moment, another person entered the main hall.

Yuan Zuo looked up and a mocking smile appeared on his face. "The special envoy has finally shown himself?"

Xiaoming Sanren's face was full of bitterness. "I have no face to face you fellow Daoists. I came here only to offer a word of advice: as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood. Why don't you all come back to the Northern Lu King's Mansion with me? I will do my best to find a place for you all to rebuild the Horned Life Kingdom. Moreover, the Northern Lu King values ​​the sect leader highly and will surely entrust him with important responsibilities!"

Unable to find Qin Sang, he could only turn to Yuan Zuo.

"Hmph! Is this how you show respect for the sect leader?" Yuan Zuo sneered.

Xiaoming Sanren was speechless. In the end, this was just an enclave. The three kings intervened only to prevent King Chuxu and King Zhilian from succeeding so easily, to distract them, not because they were determined to take it. Now that they had achieved their goal, while King Chuxu and King Zhilian were sending out their troops, they were pursuing greater interests elsewhere, and the Jiaosheng Kingdom had become insignificant.

The three kings valued only a handful of people, including Qin Sang, and abandoned the Kingdom of Jiaosheng, but offered them high positions and sent Xiaoming Sanren to persuade them.

Yuan Zuo also knew that Xiaoming Sanren could not influence the three kings, so he lowered his head and continued to look at the map, saying, "Without the leader's order, I will not leave."

"Could you grant this old man a chance to meet the sect leader?" Xiaoming Sanren asked eagerly.

“When the leader wants to see you, he will summon you,” Yuan Zuo said calmly. “The army is approaching, so you should leave as soon as possible. If you don’t want to leave, stay and have a chat with me.”

Xiaoming Sanren was somewhat surprised and uncertain. Both Bai Ying'er and Yuan Zuo were so calm. Could it be that Jiaosheng Kingdom could turn the tide?

At this moment, Bai Ying'er was sitting in the Jingtan, with a map in front of her. Suddenly, she felt something and looked up to see that Qin Sang had come out of seclusion at some point.

"Master!"

She quickly stood up and bowed.

Qin Sang glanced at the red line on the map and said, "Let's go back to the Kanlihe Yuantan."

Bai Ying'er's eyes lit up. She only knew that Qin Sangming had inscribed a fourth-order thunder talisman, and Zhuque had praised the thunder talisman highly. Finally, she would be able to witness its power with her own eyes!

"Disciple obey!"

Bai Ying'er accepted the order and left. Qin Sang slowly ascended the altar, took out a scroll, and slowly unfurled it in front of her. It was the Qiankun Dragon Transformation Diagram!

She then calmed her mind and relaxed as usual.

First, through the Taoist altar, they sensed that altars scattered throughout the Kingdom of Horned Life were all in high alert, with the altar masters of the main altar and branch altars standing ready.

He also sensed a powerful emotion permeating the air above the Kingdom of Horned Life and in the hearts of every citizen. With their kingdom destroyed and their homes destroyed, regardless of whether they loved or hated the Kingdom of Horned Life, they couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow.

People’s hearts are available!

"Start the altar!"

Qin Sang silently recited the words, which resonated in the hearts of all the altar masters like a thunderclap.

At this moment, almost all the altar masters showed excitement on their faces, quickly composed themselves, and shouted in unison: "Start the altar!"

Centered on Qin Sang and Jingtan, all disciples of the Five Thunder Sect were immediately mobilized.

"Rumble..."

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and clouds billowed and rose.

Suddenly, the Qiankun Dragon Transformation Diagram in front of Qin Sang rose into the air, the scroll unfurled, and the scene in the painting left the painting and became reality, transforming into endless thunderclouds, boundless and limitless.

This painting blends into the heavens and earth, and the celestial phenomena outside change accordingly. At this moment, the scene above the altar is exactly the same as that in the painting, mysterious and strange!

The clouds surged and churned, swirling like an abyss, from which flashes of blue thunder and purple lightning pierced the darkness, lightning flashing like dragons and snakes, the roars of dragons mingling with the wind and thunder. From the depths of the cloud vortex, a tall, slender figure suddenly appeared, its body merging into the dark clouds and thunder, its back rugged like a dragon's soul, surveying the universe with disdain, commanding clouds and rain!

"Roar!"

Whether it was thunder or a dragon's roar, the dragon's shadow suddenly broke through the clouds. Before the world could see its outline clearly, it swooped down with wind and thunder and plunged into the altar!

At the same time, the Thunder Sacrifice Oath is activated!

"boom!"

A thunderbolt shot straight into the sky. Unlike the scene when Qin Sang activated the thunder talisman in Qingyang, this was not a straight pillar of lightning. Instead, it twisted and turned like a dragon, clearly a thunder dragon!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

……

Throughout the entire kingdom of Jiaosheng, thunder dragons burst forth from every altar, soaring into the heavens.

It was the dead of night, and the lightning illuminated all directions, even more spectacular than during the day. Countless people were awakened from their sleep or meditation. Looking up at the sky, they saw dark clouds pressing down and thunder as deep as the abyss, as if the sky had collapsed.

Famous mountains and great rivers, places where spiritual energy gathers, countless altars appeared in the world along with the Jing altar beneath Qin Sang, but they no longer resembled the altars of the Daoist court, but were strange dragon altars surrounded by thunder dragons!

The altars of Jingtan, Dutan, and Fentan are arranged in layers, spreading throughout the world.

Dragons soar in the wilderness, ten thousand dragons rush to the sky!

The moment the thunder talisman was activated, the enemy forces within the territory of the Horned Kingdom sensed it. The commander suddenly looked up, his gaze sharp as a sword, shooting towards the capital.

Raising his hand to stop the army, the commander's expression changed slightly, and he shouted sternly, "Form ranks!"

At his command, the army formed a battle formation on the spot. Among them were not only the royal army but also cultivators from the Crimson Melting Kingdom. Ning Ye was also among them. He had been stripped of his power but was now free to do as he pleased.

He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky, sensing the immense power of thunder emanating from afar, and thought to himself, "It's finally about to start."

He had more confidence in Qin Sang than in Yuan Zuo, because of the dragon vein that had been taken away.

The general gazed at the sky, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully, "A mere trick!"

Before he finished speaking, a ring of fire suddenly appeared in front of him. Inside the ring was a crimson jade bracelet with intricate patterns. Upon closer inspection, it bore some resemblance to the Crimson Scale Divine Pillar, the national treasure of the Zhu Qian Dynasty, and possessed some of the power of the national treasure.

Better safe than sorry. When it comes to conquering the Horned Kingdom, the Royal Palace would naturally not overlook the Thunder Tower of the Five Thunder Sect. The reason for not choosing to proceed step by step and sweep away the Thunder Tower was twofold: firstly, the opportunity was fleeting, and if too much time was wasted, the reinforcements of the Three Kings would arrive; secondly, they relied on this treasure!

The biggest difference between the Five Directions Kingdom and other immortal kingdoms lies in this: as long as the Five Thunder Sect dares to activate the Thunder Towers, they will use the power of the national protective artifact to retaliate, destroy all the Thunder Towers, and achieve victory in one battle!

"Wow!"

Above the battle formation, raging flames blotted out the sun, spreading outwards in all directions from the battle formation as the center, creating an endless sea of ​​fire.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth within the territory of Jiaosheng Kingdom completely erupted, transforming into a lightning domain that reached the sky. Jiaosheng Kingdom and countless living beings were enveloped in the lightning, and countless people looked up at the sky at the same time, their faces showing expressions of fear.

You can see thunder dragons surging between the clouds and mountains. They soar through the clouds and cross the boundless mountains and seas, as if they have been summoned by something, rushing in the same direction.

Below the sea of ​​fire, the commander of the royal army, who had initially been full of confidence, gradually changed his expression as he sensed the immense power of the thunder converging from all directions.

"A national treasure!"

Xiaoming Sanren suddenly stood up and exclaimed in surprise.

The aura contained within Lei Wei was clearly that of a national treasure. It was impossible for the three kings to send a national treasure here; there was only one possibility.

The Kingdom of Horned Blossom also possesses a national protective artifact and a dragon vein!

The sixth dragon vein has emerged!

"So that's how it is!" Yuan Zuo murmured, all his doubts now answered.

Meanwhile, commotion began to break out among the royal army, and those cultivators who knew the origins of the dragon vein were horrified.

No one could have predicted that the Kingdom of Horned Life would possess a dragon vein, and that they would dare to expose it!

Suddenly, everyone's hearts pounded, and they all looked up at the sky. Above the sea of ​​fire, a thunder dragon broke through the air and arrived. In an instant, ten thousand dragons soared into the sky, their heads and tails intertwined. Each thunder dragon was like a rune, intertwined together, each with a different posture, forming a thunder dragon rune.

After the Thunder Dragon Rune took shape, it became as light as paper, yet it gave off an extremely dangerous feeling. Amidst countless horrified gazes, it drifted down.

"call!"

The divine fire that had been formed from the power of the national protective artifact was instantly suppressed by the invisible thunderous might, almost dissipating. The flames dimmed and flickered like candles in the wind.

"boom!"

The crimson jade bracelet trembled violently!
