Chapter 380 Dragon Qi Backlash: To Kill or to Spare?

Although Dongfang Bubai and the other women maintained a calm expression as they listened to Yuan Tiangang's words, their minds were racing as they tried to discern the truthfulness in his words.

At this moment, Chu Qinghe suddenly spoke up: "The fact that the Great Xia Dynasty went to such great lengths shows how much it values ​​this dragon vein. The reason that they want to achieve a symbiotic relationship with the Great Xia Dynasty by relying on the fortune contained in the dragon vein is indeed plausible."

After a slight pause, Chu Qinghe continued, "Since the Commander-in-Chief has a way to protect himself, what about me? After all, I am not like the Commander-in-Chief, who has such a way to make the Great Xia Dynasty hesitate to act. None of us have the same trump card as the Commander-in-Chief, and I am afraid that the Great Xia Dynasty will inevitably target us."

In response, Yuan Tiangang said, "There are two methods. First, you can join my Tianji Sect, and then the Great Xia Dynasty will only hold me accountable for all matters. Second, when extracting the fortune contained in the Dark Dragon Vein, I can allow you to take one-tenth of it."

"oh?"

Hearing what Yuan Tiangang said, Chu Qinghe raised an eyebrow, as if he hadn't expected Yuan Tiangang to be so generous.

Looking at Chu Qinghe's expression, as if guessing what Chu Qinghe was thinking, Yuan Tiangang said in a steady voice: "As you said, if I am the only one, Li Chunfeng and the Great Xia Dynasty will keep a close watch on me, and the plan will probably fail in the end. It would be better to cooperate with you to make things go more smoothly."

"What I want is for myself and the Tianji Sect to break free from the enslavement and control of the Great Xia Dynasty. You also don't want to be affected by the Great Xia Dynasty. Strictly speaking, what I want is for you and me to have a place to live and make a living. It's not for anything else. What does it matter if I share one-tenth of my fortune with you?"

At this point, Yuan Tiangang changed the subject, saying, "When dealing with this Dark Dragon Vein, I will go with you and act together. Even if I do anything wrong during the process, with your strength, I don't think you'll have anything to fear."

After hearing Yuan Tiangang's words, Chu Qinghe thought for a moment and then asked, "May I ask, General, how long will it take for the dragon veins in the Nine Provinces to be successfully nurtured?"

Yuan Tiangang responded, "The land of Kyushu has unique feng shui, naturally possessing the rudiments of a dragon vein, like a dragon lurking in the abyss. The most difficult part is the nurturing of dragon energy. However, decades ago, when the Great Sui Dynasty still existed and the five kingdoms were on equal footing, dragon energy had already been nurtured, and the dragon vein had already taken shape. Now, all we need to do is unify the land of Kyushu, gather the fortune of the land of Kyushu and the power of heaven and earth to resonate with the dragon energy, and let the dragon energy transform into a dragon soul, and the dragon vein can be fully nurtured."

Chu Qinghe frowned and said, "Is it still necessary to unify the five kingdoms?"

Clearly, Chu Qinghe had not expected that the final formation of this dragon vein would require such conditions.

Yuan Tiangang nodded and said, "The increase and decrease of all things in heaven and earth are in balance. The dragon energy and dragon soul in the dragon vein can help the country's fortune to last, and naturally it needs to be nourished by the dynasty."

"When the dragon vein is completed and the dragon soul begins to emerge, that is when the Great Xia Dynasty will absorb the dragon soul and dragon energy from the dragon vein."

But after a few breaths, Yuan Tiangang suddenly said with a hint of regret, "Originally, there was a method recorded in my Tianji Sect to accelerate the formation of dragon veins, but unfortunately it was accidentally lost when the Great Xia Dynasty captured my Tianji Sect members. If it weren't for this, with this method, the dragon energy could have been formed ahead of time, and I wouldn't have had to spend a hundred years in this land of Kyushu."

Chu Qinghe spoke up, "I have a question, and I would be grateful if the Commander could answer it for me."

"Since it is said that the unification of the five kingdoms was enough decades ago to allow the dragon vein to be fully formed and give birth to the dragon soul, with the strength of Li Chunfeng and the commander-in-chief and the people under their command, it should be an easy matter for them to secretly promote the unification of the five kingdoms. Why haven't the two of them made a move yet?"

Putting aside everything else, just consider the eight experts at the Divine Seat Realm, including Bai Wanshan, who were previously arranged by the Bad Commander. If all eight of them set off together, who in the world could rival them?

It wouldn't be difficult to eliminate the royal families of the five kingdoms, secretly support puppet rulers, stage a grand drama to bring forth a wise ruler who would unify the world.

Things that could have been done decades ago are still nowhere to be seen today.

This method can even accelerate the cycle of unity and division, thus speeding up the formation of dragon energy.

A hundred years should be enough; why waste a thousand years?

Naturally, in Chu Qinghe's view, this situation was somewhat unreasonable.

As if anticipating Chu Qinghe's question, the Bad Commander said, "Because Li Chunfeng and I are both from the land of China, we cannot interfere too much."

Chu Qinghe raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why?"

The Bad Commander said, "Dragon veins are naturally formed. If they are created by external forces, they can be formed, but those who practice this method will inevitably suffer backlash from the power of heaven and earth or even the dragon energy within the dragon vein. Even martial artists at the Void Breaking Realm need to be careful about the backlash from the power of heaven and earth and the dragon energy, let alone us. For us, we can only facilitate it secretly and cannot interfere too much."

Upon hearing this explanation, Chu Qinghe's face immediately showed a look of sudden realization.

After finishing these matters, Yuan Tiangang slightly raised his gaze and placed it on Chu Qinghe.

Chu Qinghe was well aware of Yuan Tiangang's meaning. He immediately picked up his folding fan, fanned himself a few times, and said with a smile, "Since everyone has been so frank, I will naturally not go to such lengths to seek a partner who is an enemy."

"However, since Li Chunfeng is a member of the Great Xia Dynasty, keeping him alive is better than killing him. After all, isn't it easier to control an enemy in the open than a new enemy whose situation is unknown?"
