612: Chapter 612 The Five Feng Shui Lineages, Exchange Between the Two Sides

The Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty? It was just an empire, yet the Xiao Family was the overlord of the Jia Ma Empire, and Xiao Ding, a Dou Saint, had arrived carrying the Ancient Sky Refining Formation.

Could it be that they failed to achieve success in such a short time?

People from countless forces grew increasingly curious: just how strong was this Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty?

Could the power of a single empire truly resist the Xiao Family and the Heavenly Mansion Alliance?

Outside the Ancient Sky Refining Formation, in a valley, Hao Meili stood in a silver-white dress. Her beautiful eyes gazed deeply at the Black-Corner Region, a flicker of worry hidden within them.

“The Xiao Family? The Heavenly Mansion Alliance? If Hun Tiandi suffers even a slight injury, I will poison the people of the Xiao Family and the Heavenly Mansion Alliance forever, until death!”

A flash of purple-black light crossed Hao Meili's eyes as she spoke in a cold voice.

Outside the Black-Corner Region, on a distant mountain peak, the thin Feng Shui Master Gui Di observed the surrounding terrain, studying the flow of the Feng Shui dragon veins.

Beside him stood the Prime Minister of Dagan, looking noble and holding several letters. Behind him, over a dozen secret agents continuously delivered reports.

The Prime Minister of Dagan narrowed his eyes, a cold sneer playing on his lips.

“Well played, Hun Tiandi. This game you've set up is truly massive!” the Prime Minister of Dagan remarked indifferently as he tucked the letters away.

“Yue Xiang, I have already scouted the terrain. This is a Nine-Dragon Pattern with a centripetal disk; the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty is protected by dragon veins from eight directions.”

“Once the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty encounters a crisis, this Feng Shui Grand Array will draw the energy of the earth veins to strengthen the capital. Currently, it seems the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty hasn't suffered much damage; the stalemate will likely continue for a while!”

Gui Di said indifferently, showing absolute confidence in his Dao of Feng Shui.

One must know, Gui Di was the leader of the Ghost Lineage among the Five Lineages of Feng Shui.

“Hmm, since there's nothing more to do here, shall we go see Mud Bodhisattva?” Yue Xiang nodded.

“Oh? Mud Bodhisattva isn't here? The capital is under threat, could he have gone far away?” Gui Di was somewhat puzzled.

“Naturally. My judgment has never been wrong!” Yue Xiang said confidently.

Three days later, in a distant valley outside the Ancient Sky Refining Formation.

Holding a whisk and wearing a star-patterned robe, the Celestial Master looked at the Feng Shui layout before him. Beside him, Prince Zhenshan frowned as he reviewed intelligence from all quarters.

“Dazheng actually subdued the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Snake-people Tribe... and they even hold many important positions?” the Prince Zhenshan of Da Xuan said in disbelief.

“There must be more to this than meets the eye,” Prince Zhenshan nodded.

“This war is very strange, as if Hun Tiandi knew about it long ago and knew he wouldn't be able to command the army himself!”

“The command of Dazheng's army has all fallen into the hands of Yun Xiao...” Prince Zhenshan said with a frown.

“Yun Xiao? The commander of the Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty's Second Legion. He is a world-startling talent and a god-like strategist!”

“Celestial Master, have you discovered anything?”

“Naturally. Mud Bodhisattva's Feng Shui array that draws Earth vein energy is very powerful. Furthermore, I have discovered something interesting!” The Celestial Master revealed a mysterious smile.

“Besides Mud Bodhisattva, on the Fighting Qi Continent, the Dao of Feng Shui has only five lineages: Heaven, Earth, Mortal, Divine, and Ghost. I am of the Heaven Lineage, and I possess a secret method to sense other Feng Shui Masters. Though there are not many, I can tell if they exist.”

“Gui Di is in Dagan, while Shen Xiu has been missing for decades and is not on the continent; that lineage has likely lost its inheritance.”

“I see,” Prince Zhenshan remained silent.

“The remaining Di Lao is in the Cangtian Holy Land, and Ren Jue has also disappeared!” the Celestial Master said indifferently.

“Gui Di is here too?” Prince Zhenshan's eyes brightened slightly as he pointed into the distance.

Heroes from all sides were waiting for the final result, and countless scouts in the vicinity were continuously passing messages.

Central Plains, Dead Soul Mountain Range.

The Blood God Hun Tiandi, who had already arrived, stood in a black robe that fluttered in the wind. His deep gaze looked toward the mist-shrouded Dead Soul Mountain Range in the distance.

Standing with his hands behind his back and hair flowing like a waterfall, his cold and evil temperament made him look like an evil god looking down on the world.

In the south, several streaks of light sped over, kicking up a massive gale.

In the blink of an eye, they appeared before him, revealing the figures of Xiao Lin and Xiao Li, followed by several Xiao Family experts.

Across the Dead Soul Mountain Range, Xiao Lin's gaze focused, and wisps of flames rose in his eyes as if he were looking through the infinite distance to the other side.

Sensing the gaze, Hun Tiandi turned his head, his eyes flashing blood-red as he looked toward Xiao Lin.

The gazes of the two powerhouses met and collided in mid-air, creating infinite ripples in space and dispersing the surrounding clouds and mist.

The vast forest in the distance shattered, and mountain rocks rolled down, impacting the surroundings.

“Da Zheng Imperial Dynasty, Hun Tiandi!” Xiao Lin said warmly, looking elegant and refined.

“Xiao Family Clan Leader, Xiao Lin!” Hun Tiandi said indifferently, his aura cold and evil.

Xiao Lin's first wave of testing did not achieve what he had hoped, so he set aside his heart of contempt.

“Hun Tiandi, return my son's life!” Xiao Li stared at Hun Tiandi, the murderer of his son, unable to suppress his inner rage.

“Second Uncle, calm down. Retrieving Qing Lin is the most important thing right now!”

“Hun Tiandi, you are indeed worthy of being the ruler of an empire, coming alone for the trade!” Xiao Lin smiled.

“Enough nonsense, let the trade begin!”

“Where are the Remnants of the Soul Clan?” Hun Tiandi asked coldly.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin knew that if Hun Tiandi did not see the Remnants of the Soul Clan, he would absolutely not allow him to see the Green Scale Snake Saint.

“Second Uncle, bring the Remnants of the Soul Clan here!” Xiao Lin said helplessly; the priority was to see Qing Lin.

Hmph!

Xiao Li suppressed his anger, knowing the importance of the matter. He snorted coldly and sped toward the rear.

Half an hour later, a dark mass appeared in the south, moving like a black cloud. As it drew closer, it became clear that the black cloud was composed of a dense crowd of figures.

The moment the Remnants of the Soul Clan appeared, Hun Tiandi's heart surged like a flood as he sensed that familiar aura.

They were in ragged clothes and were thin and gaunt, looking like refugees fleeing a famine.

Their eyes were numb, their bodies covered in bloodstains, their wrists marked, and their spirits withered.

There were men and women, old and young... their numbers were likely as high as fifty thousand.

Phew!

Hun Tiandi suppressed the fluctuations in his heart and took a deep breath. It was his lack of ability to reach the peak that had caused the Hun Clan people to fall to this state.

“Hun Tiandi, these are the Remnants of the Soul Clan held by my Xiao Family; they are all here!” Xiao Lin spoke. Hun Tiandi nodded; according to information from the Earth Web, the Xiao Family had not withheld a single person.

Otherwise, the exchange would not have proceeded so smoothly.

“Where is Qing Lin?” Xiao Lin asked.

With a wave of Hun Tiandi's sleeve, Fang Yang and several figures sped over from the distance, bringing with them the weakened Green Scale Snake Saint.

“Let the exchange begin!”

Fang Yang walked slowly with the Green Scale Snake Saint, arriving above the Dead Soul Mountain Range to wait for the trade.

Xiao Lin waved his hand, and an elder waved his sleeve; the fifty thousand Remnants of the Soul Clan also began walking toward the center.

Immediately, Fang Yang took the Remnants of the Soul Clan away, while the Xiao Family elder took the Green Scale Snake Saint. The trade was complete.

“Your Majesty, I shall take my leave!” Fang Yang gave a slight bow and then departed quickly. Simultaneously, the arranged army protected the Remnants of the Soul Clan as they left the Dead Soul Mountain Range.

Hun Tiandi did not leave, his gaze deep as if he were waiting for something.

“Qing Lin, how are you?” Xiao Li asked anxiously, placing his fingers on her wrist and sending a wisp of Fighting Qi into her body to investigate.

“Her Fighting Qi is dried up, and her meridians are severely damaged... what cruel methods!”

Xiao Lin suddenly turned his head and stared fixedly at Hun Tiandi. This man was truly brutal to have harmed the Green Scale Snake Saint so severely.

After Fang Yang departed, he turned his hand and took out a jade bottle that glowed with red light, hovering it over the heads of the fifty thousand Remnants of the Soul Clan.

Every true Hun Clan survivor emitted a similar aura of the Hun Clan.

This jade pendant was a method for identifying Remnants of the Soul Clan that Hun Xiutian had specially refined before coming to the Central Plains; one had to be on guard!

Of course, nearly a hundred figures were also discovered who showed no change at all.
