Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 401: Return to Flame Mountain!

On this day, news arrived that the Hidden Moon Country’s one-hundred-thousand-strong army had been annihilated and that the Champion Marquis of Great Xia had seized control of the Dragon Vein!

Elder Wan was completely stunned. What? The Dragon Vein was actually taken over by Great Xia? How could this be? He felt utterly humiliated. Damn it, who is this Champion Marquis? How could he possibly control the Dragon Vein?

He found Yue Chan and asked, "Fairy, do you need me to go to the Dragon Moon Ancient Land to investigate?"

"No need." Yue Chan shook her head. So, the Dragon Vein ended up in that boy’s control after all. But this is only natural. Since he obtained half of the Candle Dragon’s power, controlling the Dragon Vein was a matter of course. However, that boy’s identity is very mysterious. On the surface, he’s the Champion Marquis of Great Xia, but secretly, he’s from the Da Yan Holy Land, and a Dragon Warrior at that. Why would someone from the Da Yan Holy Land be in Great Xia? As far as I know, the Holy Land backing Great Xia is not the Da Yan Holy Land! I must uncover his true identity and then kill him.

Thinking of this, Yue Chan shook her head again and said, "You don’t need to concern yourself with the matters of the Dragon Moon Ancient Land. It’s not worth your attention. Help me investigate something else."

"What is it?" Elder Wan asked, deeply puzzled.

"Help me find out about a certain genius from the Da Yan Holy Land," she said. "There’s a young genius there who possesses an exceptional Sword Control Technique. More importantly, he’s a Dragon Warrior. Find out who this person is."

"Once you’ve identified him, bring all the information you have on him to me."

"What? The Da Yan Holy Land has a Dragon Warrior?" Elder Wan was incredibly shocked.

It was common knowledge that Dragon Warriors had not appeared in over a thousand years. To think one would emerge from the Da Yan Holy Land... could it be that they had found the long-lost Dragon Warrior inheritance? This was earth-shattering news! Compared to a Dragon Warrior, the affairs of the Dragon Moon Ancient Land were indeed insignificant.

Elder Wan declared, "Fairy, rest assured, I will immediately go and gather information on the Dragon Warrior of the Da Yan Holy Land."

Yue Chan nodded, adding, "Remember, this matter must be kept secret. Do not let anyone else know."

"I understand," Elder Wan replied with a nod. It must be because the Dragon Warrior inheritance is extremely precious, so she doesn’t want anyone else to find out. It seems Yue Chan is scheming to acquire it for herself.

Lin Xuan was unaware of Yue Chan’s thoughts, nor did he know that she had already begun to investigate him. He had quietly departed from the Dragon Moon Ancient Land and was now making his way quickly toward Flame Mountain. Along the way, he altered his appearance and identity, so no one recognized him. However, he overheard his own name being discussed on every street and in every alley, which made him grin. It seemed he had once again become famous throughout the land.

Presumably, the Celestial King’s Mansion has also received the news. The Celestial King must be furious. He might even be preparing to make a move against me. This is perfect. I’ll return quietly and catch him completely off guard.

「Elixir King’s Mansion.」

The Elixir King was a renowned figure in Great Xia. Not only was he personally powerful, but his skill in Alchemy was transcendent. Even the Sect Leaders of major sects sought him out to refine Elixirs. However, the Elixir King rarely refined ordinary Elixirs anymore. In all of Great Xia, only a handful of people could persuade him to take action.

At this moment, inside the main hall of the Elixir King’s Mansion, the Elixir King listened to his subordinate’s report and asked quickly, "Are you sure the Celestial King has left?"

"Confirmed. The Celestial King has likely gone to the Dragon Moon Ancient Land."

"Excellent!" The Elixir King was overjoyed. "Let’s go! Head to Flame Mountain! According to my calculations, there should be an Anomalous Fire there. I must acquire it!"

With several subordinates in tow, the Elixir King quickly left his mansion and rushed toward Flame Mountain.

「Flame Mountain.」

This area had already become the territory of the Celestial King’s Mansion. After discovering the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire at Flame Mountain, the Celestial King’s Mansion had dispatched a large number of experts to set up camp, claiming the place for themselves. Later, they attempted to use other geniuses to retrieve the immature lotus so that the Celestial King could reap the rewards and seize the true Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire himself.

However, that plan was ultimately thwarted by Lin Xuan. He discovered the true Anomalous Fire and had the big black dog use the mountain’s flames to set up the Eight Desolation Fire Dragon Array. This Array had blocked the Celestial King and his forces, and it remained active to this day. The Celestial King had still not managed to break it, leaving him unable to obtain the true Anomalous Fire.

This gave Lin Xuan his opportunity.

He pressed onward, finally arriving at Flame Mountain once more. Gazing up at the towering volcano, he felt a surge of excitement. Soon, he would be able to obtain the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire. With a flicker of his body, he rushed toward the volcano. He needed to reach the crater first before descending inside.

He hadn’t gone far when a sharp cry echoed from above. Lin Xuan looked up and saw an eagle circling over his head. He was taken aback. There are Demon Beasts here? I don’t remember seeing any last time. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

At that moment, the big black dog’s voice rang out, "Kid, you’ve been discovered."

Sure enough, a team of men rushed over from the distance. Clad in Battle Armor and wielding sharp longswords, they charged rapidly toward Lin Xuan.

"Who goes there? Leave at once!" they shouted as a warning.

Lin Xuan’s expression hardened. He raised his hand and shot out a wave of Sword Qi, killing the eagle in the sky.

"You’re courting death!" Seeing Lin Xuan attack, the approaching team roared in fury. "Kill this kid!"

They swarmed him, but Lin Xuan just let out a cold snort. He charged forward like a wild dragon, his fists moving fiercely as he unleashed the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

The sound of pained screams filled the air, and soon, the entire team had been slain. In the distance, more teams were rushing over.

"Catch that kid!"

"He dared to kill men from the Celestial King’s Mansion! He must not be spared!"

"No matter who he is, he’s dead!"

Lin Xuan’s expression changed. He hadn’t expected the Celestial King’s Mansion to leave so many Martial Artists stationed here. This time, he didn’t try to fight them head-on. He turned and fled, activating his Wandering Dragon Body Technique and vanishing in a few quick flashes.

"Damn it, the kid got away!" the pursuing Martial Artists gritted their teeth in frustration.

Among them was a woman in a blue dress. She glanced at the slain Martial Artists on the ground, her eyes narrowing. She turned to the others and ordered, "Return to your posts. Continue guarding the checkpoints to prevent anyone from slipping through."

"What about you, Captain?" one of them asked.

"I’m going to find that guy," the woman in blue replied. With that, she whistled, and several fiery red lizards crawled out from the rocks. "Go find him," she commanded.

The lizards scurried off in all directions. It wasn’t long before a smile played on the woman’s lips. "Found you." Her figure flashed as she took off alone.

While the volcanic area had no forests, it was covered in massive rocks of all sizes, forming a veritable stone forest. At that moment, Lin Xuan was hiding behind one of these huge rocks, planning to find a detour. No matter what, he had to get into that volcano.

Just then, a woman’s voice rang out, "Kid, you sure run fast, but you can’t escape my grasp."

I’ve been found? But there’s no eagle in the sky this time! Lin Xuan frowned.

"The methods of our Celestial King’s Mansion are beyond your imagination," the voice continued. "There are many ways to find you."

As she spoke, a woman in blue appeared before him. Lin Xuan was stunned. "Just you?"

The woman, named Mu Yun, was the captain of the guards. She smiled. "To deal with you, one is enough. Lin Xuan, surrender obediently."

"Lin Xuan? I don’t know who you’re talking about."

"Stop pretending," Mu Yun laughed. "I’ve seen the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist before. In the younger generation of Great Xia, only two people can use it: Chu Zhongtian and Lin Xuan. You are Lin Xuan!"

So, he’d been found out. Lin Xuan let out a cold snort and dropped the pretense. "Since you know who I am, why did you dare to come alone?"

"So it really is you." Seeing him admit it, Mu Yun marveled, "You’ve got some nerve, kid. I can’t believe you dared to come back to the Celestial King’s territory. You’re the man the Celestial King himself has marked for death. Capturing you would be a great merit, and the Celestial King would grant me a supreme inheritance."

"With just you?" Lin Xuan said disdainfully. "You’re just a three-star Grandmaster. You’re no match for me." Lin Xuan’s current strength was equivalent to an early-stage four-star Grandmaster; he didn’t take a mere three-star Grandmaster seriously.

"No match?" Mu Yun scoffed. "You’re quite arrogant. I’ve looked into what you did in the Dragon Moon Ancient Land. Based on my calculations, your strength is only equivalent to a late-stage three-star Grandmaster, while I am at the peak of the three-star realm. Defeating you will be a piece of cake!"

"You’re mistaken," Lin Xuan said, shaking his head. "My current strength is that of a four-star Grandmaster."

"How is that possible?" Mu Yun sneered. "How could your strength have improved so drastically in such a short amount of time? Kid, stop boasting. Get on your knees and surrender!"
