The moment the gray smoke appeared, Qing Jiao felt the sudden fluctuation of another soul on this mortal, and it was a residual soul with strong resentment. Qing Jiao's cultivation level plummeted, and he was locked by the Soul Lock. He was actually successfully controlled by this residual soul and trapped in the smoke cage, unable to get out.
"Who the hell are you? The Soul Lock on me is directly connected to the Dragon Vein in Shu. If you kill me, it will inevitably disrupt the spiritual energy in the Dragon Vein, causing a massive earthquake. Within a ten-mile radius, sand and rocks will fly everywhere, and the ground will collapse. I won't survive, and neither will you!"
Abe Kakuichi clenched his left hand lightly, and the Muramasa that was nailed into the wall flew back into his hand. With the blessing of Muramasa, the smoke emitted from his left hand became more and thicker, as if it were real.
Kakuichi held a knife in one hand and formed hand seals with the other, muttering a complex and difficult incantation. As Abe Kakuichi cast his spell, the cage formed by the smoke glowed brightly, gradually shrinking, and finally transformed into a golden net like a pearl shirt, tightly binding Qing Jiao. No matter how she struggled, it was useless.
The young woman was angry and anxious, and planned to change back to her original form to fight with the person in front of her, but the golden net seemed to limit her ability to transform, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not transform into her original demon form.
Finally, Abe Kakuichi pinched the Taishang Sanshan Jue with his right hand, stepped on the ground with his left foot, and shouted:
"Submit! All the demons are lying in wait. Hold the lotus flower, slay the demons and bind the evil. Hurry and obey the command!"
The golden net once again emitted a dazzling golden light, and the beautiful young woman and the dragon throne she was sitting on were hidden in the golden light. The chains that tied the young woman also made a rattling sound, and the entire underground palace began to shake violently. Dust fell from the top of the bracket-supported hall, as if a violent earthquake was brewing.
Abe Kakui held Muramasa in front of him and stared nervously at the place covered by the golden light. After more than ten breaths, the golden light gradually dimmed, the underground palace stopped shaking, and returned to silence.
Abe Kakuichi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the young woman fainted on the dragon throne.
"Jiaoyi, while she's unconscious, quickly kill the dragon and take its bones to avoid any more trouble. After entering the underground palace, I've been feeling uneasy. I wonder what terrifying things might be lurking in there. It's best to leave as soon as possible—!"
"Lady Lihua, you just heard it. The dragon said she's connected to the dragon vein in Shu. I'm afraid someone trapped her here as a talisman to protect the dragon vein. If we kill her, it will really cause a huge earthquake!"
"Hmph, you're truly possessing a treasure without even realizing it! Muramasa can break all barriers and confinements in the world. Could this broken chain that trapped the dragon be even stronger than the Azure Dragon barrier just now? Idiot!"
When Abe Kaku heard Rika-hime's order to Miko say this, he was overjoyed. He strode forward with Muramasa in hand and slashed at the chain on the young woman's feet. With a clang, Muramasa didn't hit the soul-binding chain as expected, but was hit by a cicada-wing-thin scimitar, which bounced high and almost made Abe Kaku lose his grip.
Abe Kakui was startled. He quickly turned around with the knife in both hands, facing the direction where the scimitar came from, and shouted, "Who is it——!"
"Hmph! Old man, have you paid your respects to the leader before you come to our Chinese territory? Have you heard of the Chinese Animal Protection Law? You dare to bully a dragon, you're quite courageous!"
As the voices got closer, two sleek and dashing figures, one tall and one short, appeared at the entrance of the hall. One hugged his shoulders and the other had his hands on his waist, looking at him unfriendly.
The more Abe Kakuichi looked at the girl, the more he felt that she looked like what Liu Geyang had described. She also exuded a familiar aura. Kakuichi couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?"
"Chen Qingshan!"
Abe Kakuichi's pupils suddenly dilated, and an expression of incredible surprise appeared on his face. He no longer cared about the dragon, and rushed down the platform carrying Muramasa and ran towards Qingshan.
