In the waters three hundred miles west of Dongting Lake, hundreds of people in black were running at high speed in the heavy rain.
Among them, except for the first three practitioners who were in the Qi Transformation Stage, the others were in the Essence Refining Stage. All of them followed closely, carrying huge waterproof backpacks.
In this horrific downpour, visibility has been reduced to the lowest level. Even a practitioner of refined spiritual cultivation would find it difficult to see distant scenes through the rain.
In addition, the heavy rain destroyed everything, and there were potholes everywhere left by the erosion of water. If you were not careful, you might fall down the hillside or into a pothole.
Along the way, people often accidentally fell or fell into a hole, but no one turned around to help them up. Instead, they continued to follow closely the three Qi Transformation Realm masters in the front.
Some of these lagging behind refining practitioners continued to catch up with the team after getting out of trouble, while others returned along the same route after being injured, without any communication at all throughout the process.
They were all the most elite soldiers selected from the Zhennan Army, and the purpose of this trip was to go to Fubotan to carry out the mission.
Under this horrific rainstorm, every second could bring about an unknown change, and there is no room for slackness or mistakes.
And at the forefront of everyone was Qingzhou Mu Liao Yuan and Yunmeng Village Chief Yu Changliu.
Although Qingzhou Mu Liao Yuan is nearly fifty years old, he has made great progress in spiritual cultivation. He has already reached the Qi Transformation Realm and has become one of the most powerful people in the provincial government.
Yu Changliu's behavior of personally breaking into the provincial government office to report Fu Bo Longjun seemed like an absurd joke.
However, combined with Yu Changliu's powerful strength at the peak of the Qihua realm, he soon attracted Liao Yuan's attention.
After deduction by the fortune teller of the Imperial Observatory, Liao Yuan immediately confirmed that Yu Changliu's report was not false, and that this heavy rain was indeed closely related to Fubo Dragon Lord.
However, such heavy rain had destroyed even the roads, and the widespread landslides and floods did not allow modern mechanized troops to reach Fubotan.
As for the air force of the Great Xia court, even the most advanced fighter jets could not escape unscathed from the rain.
What is even more shocking is that normally fighter jets can fly higher than the rain clouds and avoid heavy rain.
But this heavy rain covering an area of 300 miles went against this common sense. No matter how high the fighter jets flew, they could not avoid the clouds. It seemed as if the entire sky and earth had merged into one with the clouds that were bringing down the heavy rain.
The most powerful modern means were completely useless in this heavy rain.
Scientists and state government officials who had long been influenced by modern knowledge and believed that science and technology could overcome everything almost collapsed. Fortunately, Liao Yuan stood up.
He immediately selected the most elite soldiers from the Zhennan Army stationed in the provincial capital and ordered them to march to Fubotan with a large amount of ammunition.
Liu Yu, the governor of Qingzhou, is in charge of the government office, and he will go to the battlefield in person with Yu Changliu as the commander of this operation.
It sounds ridiculous for a high-ranking official to go to the front line in person, but Liao Yuan has his own calculations.
As things developed to this stage, he had reason to suspect that someone in the provincial government had blinded his vision, so Liao Yuan could not trust anyone except someone who was there in person.
Moreover, he possesses the only storage equipment in the provincial government office. He can carry heavy weapons and cooperate with elite soldiers to effectively restrict Lord Fu Bo Long.
If necessary, he can even command on the front line to confirm whether to use long-range missiles or even small-yield nuclear weapons to attack and completely eliminate the disaster brought by Lord Fubo.
In order to kill Lord Fu Bo Long, he had prepared for the worst.
Liao Yuan stroked the ring with his right hand without leaving any trace, and asked with a very serious expression:
"How far is it to Fubo Lake?"
Yu Changliu, who had already transformed into a half-dragon, was not afraid of the rainstorm. He looked through the rain curtain at the distant mountain and said:
"Your Excellency the Governor, we are still about fifty kilometers away from Fubo Lake."
"Okay! Let's make a concerted effort to finish the last fifty kilometers!" Liao Yuan waved to cheer up the elite soldiers in the rear, while Liu Yi, the last Qi Transformation Realm expert in the team, who was sent by the Liu family to "aid" the battlefield, sneered.
As a senior member of the Liu family, he was very clear about the deal between the family and Lord Fu Bo Long.
The heavy rain had been pouring for several hours, and the situation was already decided for Fu Bo Long Jun. He did not think that the Qingzhou Mu could do anything.
As long as Fu Bo Long Jun takes control of Dongting Lake, everything will be settled.
By then, even if the Great Xia court was dissatisfied, it would not take the initiative to conflict with the Dragon King of Dongting Lake, and could only accept it with a pinch of the nose.
"It seems that the opportunity for my Liu family to rise is just around the corner."
As soon as this thought arose, Yu Changliu interrupted it with a stern shout.
"Who are you?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a human figure appear in the rain not far away.
Thinking that this place was not far from Fubo Lake, everyone began to concentrate and be alert.
"I am He Yao from Chunyang County, and I just escaped from Fubo Dragon Lord's Dragon Lord Banquet!"
Yu Changliu and Liao Yuan looked at each other. The scattered figures only had the aura of the Jing Refining Realm, so they took the initiative to step forward to check.
In the heavy rain, He Yao was carrying packages with a disheveled look on his face. The rich spiritual energy fluctuations made Liao Yuan, the governor of Qingzhou, couldn't help but look sideways.
There were also some spiritual energy fluctuations on the other young practitioners, but even if all of them were added together, they were far less than the items in He Yao's package.
"He Yao, I've heard of your name."
As one of the few self-awakened geniuses in Qingzhou, and one who had refused recruitment by the provincial government, Liao Yuan had a certain understanding of He Yao.
However, looking at the large and small bags on He Yao's body, Liao Yuan couldn't help but ask:
"Did you really escape?"
"My Lord, what I said is absolutely true!"
He Yao did not know that the middle-aged man in front of him was the governor of Qingzhou, but the aura of the other party and the hundreds of practitioners following him had made He Yao certain that the man in front of him must be a high-ranking official of the Great Xia court, so he hurriedly explained:
"We were deceived by Liu Yao and went to the Dragon King's Banquet, and we almost fell into the mouth of the demon."
"Asshole!" Liu Yi interrupted He Yao and waved his hand at him angrily:
"You dare to slander my Liu family. I think you must have surrendered to the devil a long time ago."
However, before his hand fell, a scaly hand grabbed his right hand like an iron clamp, and there was a coldness in the golden vertical pupils.
"Master Liu, are you planning to silence me in a hurry?"
Liao Yuan also frowned and said coldly: "Let him continue."
He Yao immediately knew that the person who was about to attack him was also a member of the Liu family, but after experiencing the Dragon King Banquet, he did not panic, but raised his voice and accused:
“Liu Yao lured our human genius into the Dragon Lord’s Banquet, hoping to use Fubo Dragon Lord to force the human genius to sign a contract with the Liu family, but Liu Yao’s secret plan to seize the Natural Spirit Pool was exposed and he was killed by Fubo Dragon Lord.
Thanks to Fellow Daoist Shen who killed Lord Fubo Dragon with one sword, we were saved."
