Qiao Chuyang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up, and looked excitedly at the dragon pillar in front of him.
This seemingly ordinary pillar was able to withstand my attack without being damaged, and even injured me directly. It was simply astonishing!
Moreover, I clearly heard a dragon's roar just now. Could this dragon pillar be related to the dragon race?
dragon!
That's something that only exists in the myths and legends of the ancient Xia Dynasty!
There are nine such pillars here! Once they obtain these opportunities, the Qiao family will likely soar to great heights, and the capital will no longer be one of the four great families, but one superpower and three superpowers.
The Qiao family will leap into becoming a super family!
"Qiao Suinian, tell me quickly, how can we obtain the secret within this dragon pillar?" Qiao Chuyang asked impatiently.
"Do you think it would be your turn if I knew?" Qiao Suinian shrugged and said.
Qiao Chuyang didn't speak upon hearing this, but just stared at Qiao Suinian quietly for a while before speaking.
"Alright! Men, take all nine of these dragon-carved pillars back to the Qiao family!"
"Don't touch it! Don't touch this pillar!"
The old monk, who had been beaten to the point of near death, suddenly shouted as if he had a sudden burst of energy before death.
"This isn't some coiled dragon pillar, it's a dragon-suppressing pillar! This dragon-suppressing pillar is suppressing this entire Tianshan Mountain. If the dragon-suppressing pillar is moved, everything atop this Tianshan Mountain will collapse!"
"What does that have to do with me? Move it!" Qiao Chuyang said coldly.
With the combined efforts of the Qiao family's powerful members, the dragon pillars were pulled out one after another and then transported to the foot of Tianshan Mountain.
As long as the Panlong Pillar is transported down from Tianshan Mountain, the Qiao family can use the Earthquake Man to transport it directly back to Kyoto.
As the last dragon pillar was pulled out, the entire Tianshan Mountains trembled violently, and the clear waters of the sacred lake suddenly began to evaporate.
The entire process lasted less than ten seconds, and the sacred lake, which had been like a mirror, completely disappeared, leaving only a huge crater.
The old monk collapsed to his knees, bloody tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.
"Is this... the inevitability of fate? Master, you must have foreseen the outcome back then, didn't you?"
"My lord, what should we do with this eccentric old monk?" a powerful member of the Qiao family asked Qiao Chuyang for instructions.
"Kill him." Qiao Chuyang glanced at the old monk and then looked away. He had only captured the old monk to extract information, and now the old monk was no longer of any use.
"yes!"
Just as the powerful man was about to attack the old monk, a bronze ancient sword suddenly struck, slashing the powerful man away.
"Who are you?! How dare you ambush me? If you've got the guts, come out and fight me one-on-one!" The powerful man was furious.
“One should show mercy when possible. Master Qiao, we are all human beings, there is no need to be so ruthless.” A clear voice rang out.
"Who are you?" Qiao Chuyang's eyes darted left and right, as if trying to find the person speaking in the shadows.
Qiao Suinian also recognized the bronze sword. It had appeared once before when he was about to kill the Prince of Zhenxi.
The mysterious Taoist priest seemed to be hiding in the shadows, and Qiao Suinian was always wary of him. However, he did not appear when Qiao Suinian was absorbing the Hongyun Qitian Bone, nor did he appear when Qiao Suinian was exploring the secrets of the Panlong Pillar.
This left Qiao Suinian extremely puzzled, wondering what this mysterious Taoist priest was up to.
On the contrary, the Taoist priest intervened when people were about to die twice. Could he be a saintly Taoist priest?
"Who I am is not important. The old monk's heart is dead and his beliefs have collapsed. He poses no threat to your Qiao family."
The voice seemed to come from all directions at the same time, and no one present could figure out where the speaker was.
“If you are truly willing to help, why not come out and show yourself? Hiding like this doesn’t seem like the behavior of an upright person,” Qiao Chuyang said, frowning.
But this time, the voice did not sound again; only an ancient bronze sword floated silently in mid-air.
Qiao Chuyang gave a signal, and several powerful members of the Qiao family instantly understood. They rushed towards the old monk and launched a deadly attack, each move potentially fatal.
At that moment, the ancient bronze sword moved!
With a crisp clang, the bronze ancient sword slashed in a circle, forcing several Qiao family experts back. Then, it transformed into light and shadow, and after a flash, the same wounds appeared on the bodies of the Qiao family experts.
The wounds were all located on the left side of the chest, and they were very deep, almost reaching the heart.
Clearly, the person in the shadows showed mercy; otherwise, this sword strike could have easily killed these powerful members of the Qiao family.
Controlling the wound so well is much more difficult than killing someone outright.
Qiao Chuyang's pupils also contracted sharply. He realized that he had definitely run into a tough opponent.
"I was unaware of your greatness here. I, Chu Yang, have offended you greatly. I apologize! Let's go!"
Qiao Chuyang immediately led his men away. He had already obtained the nine dragon pillars, so there was no need for him to fight a bloody battle with this powerful figure in the shadows for the sake of an old monk.
Children care about face, loyalty, and honor; adults only care about interests.
The Qiao family had cleared out all the people who had been there before. Once they left, the entire summit of Tianshan Mountain became completely silent, leaving only the dejected old monk sitting there blankly.
A series of footsteps sounded, and a young man dressed in a Taoist robe emerged from the darkness. He reached out and grasped the ancient bronze sword, carrying it on his back.
"Who are you? Why did you save me?" The old monk raised his head blankly.
