Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 397: Summoning the Candle Dragon! Success!
Above the Dragon Moon Ancient Land, an ancient chariot swiftly flew past. ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ธ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ต.๐ฌ๐ค๐ข
Inside the chariot sat two figures: Elder Wan and Yue Chan.
As they passed over the battlefield below, Elder Wan asked, "By the way, that Hidden Moon Commander deceived us earlier. Should we kill him?"
"Thereโs no need." Yue Chan was not in high spirits and shook her head slightly.
"Alright then, weโll spare his life," Elder Wan said cheerfully, feeling quite magnanimous for doing so.
"Moon Fairy, whatโs wrong? Were you injured inside the Array?" Elder Wan asked with concern, noticing Yue Chanโs strange mood.
Yue Chan seemed dazed. Hearing Elder Wanโs words reminded her of what had happened inside the Array, and her cheeks instantly flushed red.
Thankfully, her veil hid her face; otherwise, Elder Wan would have surely noticed something was amiss.
"Iโm fine," Yue Chan said, shaking her head as an image of Lin Xuan flashed through her mind.
Yue Chan bit her crimson lips, her palms clenching tightly.
Kid, I will definitely kill you.
ใOn the other side.ใ
Inside the Array, Lin Xuan was utterly frantic. He asked, "Black Dog, about what happened before..."
Before Lin Xuan could finish, the large black dog frantically shook its head. "I donโt know! I know nothing!"
"Kid, donโt ask me what happened! I really donโt know!"
"Earlier, you were engulfed by the Extreme Wan Long Map, which concealed everything. I didnโt see a thing, I swear!"
Damn.
Lin Xuan cursed and kicked a stone on the ground.
Did something actually happen or not? Was it a dream, or was it real? Why canโt I remember?
Lin Xuan felt extremely dejected.
The large black dog said, "Kid, donโt worry about that for now. First, check the Extreme Wan Long Map. You should be able to summon the second Dragon Soul now."
Right. Lin Xuan suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, took a deep breath, and forced himself to calm down. Then, he summoned the Extreme Wan Long Map.
He had absorbed half of the Candle Dragonโs power. Although it wasnโt as much as he had planned, this half was still terrifyingly potent. He figured it should be enough to summon the Candle Dragon Soul from the Wan Long Map as well.
With that, Lin Xuan began the process of summoning the Candle Dragon Soul.
ใMeanwhile, outside the Array...ใ
The atmosphere was oppressively heavy.
The Wangyue Pavilion Master and the others stood frozen, their faces filled with despair. In the distance, General Fuyun was ecstatic.
Hahaha, the Long Ming Legion was defeated! The kid who went in is dead! This is truly wonderful! The Long Ming Legion went to so much trouble with their scheme, only to fail at the final hurdle. The very thought of it thrilled him.
General Fuyun quickly took out another Sound Transmission Talisman to relay the news to the Hidden Moon Commander.
I have to get the Commander to lead the army here at once to seize the Dragon Vein!
ใOn the battlefield.ใ
Startled by General Fuyunโs message, the Hidden Moon Commander quickly forced the Dragon Commander back. He retreated to the rear and took out the Sound Transmission Talisman to check the message.
Did something go wrong with the Dragon Vein? Damn it, that would be a massive problem.
After hearing the message, the Hidden Moon Commanderโs expression changed drastically, and he shot a fierce glare at the Dragon Commander. Soon, however, his expression turned peculiar. Finally, he burst into a loud laugh.
Standing nearby, the Dragon Commander didnโt make a move. He knew the news must be from the Dragon Vein.
It seems Lin Xuan and his team succeeded. The Dragon Vein now belongs to our Great Xia Country! This is fantastic!
Indeed, when he saw the Hidden Moon Commanderโs initial shock, the Dragon Commander beamed with pride.
How about that? You got played, didnโt you? Our plan to lure the tiger from the mountain wasnโt half bad. The Hidden Moon Commander should be about to go insane and completely break down. But itโs useless. The outcome is already decided; the Dragon Vein is ours.
But the subsequent change in the Hidden Moon Commanderโs expression left the Dragon Commander bewildered. His heart sank, especially when the Hidden Moon Commander started laughing.
Whatโs going on? Has the Hidden Moon Commander gone mad? Heโs laughing even though the Dragon Vein was taken from him! Did the shock drive him crazy?
Just as he was thinking this, the Hidden Moon Commander stopped laughing. He looked at the Dragon Commander, snorted coldly, and said, "Your Long Ming Legion certainly had a clever plan."
"However, for all your scheming, you miscalculated one thing. Your entire arrangement has come to nothing."
"In the end, the Dragon Vein still belongs to our Hidden Moon Country."
"What? Come to nothing?" The Dragon Commanderโs face changed drastically.
Could Lin Xuan have failed? Impossible!
He shook his head wildly. "You think you can deceive me? Are you trying to undermine my confidence and morale? Youโre dreaming!"
"Iโll tell you the truth! We did indeed employ a strategy to lure the tiger from the mountain. Our Great Xia Country has a genius who obtained the Array Key. With that key, he can easily control the Dragon Vein. How could he possibly fail?"
The Dragon Commander refused to believe their plan could fail. He had immense confidence in Lin Xuan.
The Hidden Moon Commander, however, just gave a cold snort. "I admit I underestimated your Great Xia Country. Finding the Array Key was truly a heaven-defying feat. But so what?"
"Yes, when it comes to Arrays, our Hidden Moon Country is no match for you. However, there are others residing within the Dragon Vein besides those from our Hidden Moon Country. If those two take action, your Great Xia Country stands no chance."
"What? There are others?" Hearing this, the Dragon Commanderโs expression changed.
Who could they be?
The Hidden Moon Commander did not speak, instead simply pointing a finger toward the sky.
The Dragon Commanderโs face immediately turned grim.
Heโs implying their identities are so lofty that they can look down on all of us. How can this be? Why would such terrifying figures be at the Dragon Vein?
He stood stunned for a moment.
The Hidden Moon Commander waved his hand grandly and ordered, "Retreat! Head to the Dragon Vein! We are going to seize it!"
The army of the Hidden Moon Country quickly retreated. This time, they werenโt fleeing but changing direction, charging toward the Dragon Vein.
"Dragon Commander, what should we do?" the Green Tiger Dragon General and the others asked urgently, their Battle Armor stained red with blood. "Should we press our advantage and pursue them?"
The Dragon Commander snapped out of his stupor. "Quickly, to the Dragon Vein! There might be a problem on the Champion Marquisโs side! We must get there immediately!"
"What?" The faces of the Green Tiger Dragon General and the others changed drastically.
A problem with Lin Xuan? What kind of problem?
The Dragon Commander offered no explanation, simply leading the army onward.
RUMBLE...
The earth trembled, and the ancient land seemed to seethe. The two armies surged forward like a torrent of steel, reaching the vicinity of the Dragon Vein at their fastest possible speed. With their arrival, the Dragon Vein itself began to shake violently.
"Hahaha, the Commander is here!"
Inside the Dragon Vein, General Fuyun had sensed the commotion outside and rushed over. When he emerged, he saw the army of the Hidden Moon Country. He rushed forward and knelt on one knee. "Greetings, Commander!"
"Rise." The Hidden Moon Commander waved a hand, signaling General Fuyun to stand. "Quickly, tell us exactly what happened."
General Fuyun reported loudly, "The Moon Fairy entered the Array. On the Long Ming Legionโs side, a genius also went in, but he was defeated! He was slain by the Moon Fairy! She emerged successfully and should have already broken the Array for us."
The generals of the Hidden Moon Country were stunned at first, then became ecstatic.
Hahaha, weโve won!
"How can this be?" The faces of the Green Tiger Dragon General, the Flying Dragon General, and the others turned pale.
The Champion Marquis was slain? Our plan failed? Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!
They shook their heads wildly, unable to believe it.
"Where is Qingshan? Come out and tell us this isnโt true!"
At that moment, the Wangyue Pavilion Master, the Qingshan Dragon General, and the others emerged. They walked with their heads hung low, looking utterly dejected.
When he saw the Dragon Commander, Qingshan fell to his knees, weeping bitterly. "Dragon Commander, weโve lost! The Marquis died inside!"
The words struck the Dragon Commander like a bolt from the blue.
The minds of the Green Tiger Dragon General and the Flying Dragon General went blank, and they stood frozen in place.
The Long Ming Legion erupted in an uproar.
"The Champion Marquis was defeated!"
"How could this happen?!"
They were devastated. In that instant, the morale of the Long Ming Legion plummeted.
ใMeanwhile...ใ
Deep within the Dragon Vein, inside the Array.
Lin Xuan gazed excitedly at the Extreme Wan Long Map in the sky. At that moment, the second Dragon Soul had emerged from within the Wan Long Map.
"Hahaha, I did it!" Lin Xuan was ecstatic. He had successfully summoned the Candle Dragon Soul
