210: Chapter 210 Urgent Report from the Capital!
"Hummm—!!!"
When the [Blood Jade Transmission Talisman] bound to the Rat King's Soul lit up with that blinding, blood-red light filled with "death" and "crisis," the cheers that had been soaring to the sky and the roars that had been shaking the heavens in the Martial Arts Arena instantly ceased!
All the Disciples of the Ice Phoenix Palace and the Demon Kings of the Myriad Demon Palace turned their gazes in unison toward the black-clad young man whose expression had instantly turned incomparably cold.
They could clearly sense from him a terrifying killing intent—a coldness sufficient to freeze the very heavens and earth!
Lin Qingzhi also noticed that something was wrong immediately.
She immediately came to my side, extended her cool jade hand, and tightly gripped my hand, which was already bulging with veins from anger.
"What's wrong?"
I did not answer.
I merely cast my gaze, filled with endless killing intent, toward the distant... East!
That direction was the heart of Huaxia!
The Imperial Capital!
Meanwhile, the Rat King's screams, which had become intermittent and incredibly shrill due to extreme fear, echoed frantically in my mind!
"My King!! The Imperial Capital... something has happened to the Imperial Capital! The Dragon Soul Bureau... headquarters... has been... has been besieged!!!"
"Boom—!" This news struck my heart as heavily as a thunderclap of creation!
The Dragon Soul Bureau headquarters!
That was the most core and heavily guarded place for the entire Huaxia government!
Not only was Bureau Chief Long Zhan, that unfathomable "pillar of stability," there, but there were also countless "King Rank" powerhouses of the Dragon Soul Bureau and Huaxia's most cutting-edge "technological weapons"!
How could it possibly be besieged?!
Lin Qingzhi's cold phoenix eyes narrowed sharply!
She asked in a deep voice: "Who is it?!"
The Rat King's voice, filled with "trembling" and "despair," rang out again!
"It is... it is a... a mysterious organization that calls itself the [Star Council]!"
The [Star Council]?! Upon hearing this familiar yet strange name, my heart sank abruptly!
I remembered the conversation between the two Lin family Disciples in Shennongjia earlier!
They had also mentioned this name!
A behemoth that could be mentioned in the same breath as the "Xuantian Alliance"!
"They... they have united with several deeply hidden Sects of the Xuan Realm! Their strength... is too strong! The Dragon Soul Bureau... is about to... is about to fail to hold on!"
"What exactly is their goal?!" My voice was so cold it felt as if it could completely freeze the air!
The Rat King let out a roar of near despair!
"The Dragon Vein!! My King!! Their goal... is to... is to seize that which is buried deep beneath the Imperial Capital, sustaining the Luck of all Huaxia..."
"...The Dragon Vein!!!"
The Dragon Vein!!! Upon hearing these two words, my eyes and Lin Qingzhi's eyes, both equally filled with "coldness" and "killing intent," met sharply!
We both saw an unprecedented gravity in the other's eyes!
We finally understood!
We finally understood why those high and mighty "chess players" had to wait!
Why they had to wait for the "ripening" of this blue planet!
What they were plotting was not just the Spiritual Qi of this planet!
They were plotting the most core Origin of this planet!
That which was sufficient to make a plane on the verge of shattering regain its vitality... the World Vein!
And the Dragon Vein buried beneath Huaxia, a land known since ancient times as the "Land of the Dragon," was the most important and core part of this World Vein!
"My King!!" The Rat King's final voice was filled with the despair of blood and fire!
"The Imperial Capital's... defensive array... is already... crumbling! Bureau Chief Long Zhan... they... are using their lives... to fill the gap! They are waiting for you and Her Majesty the Empress... for the final... reinforcements!!!"
The moment those words fell!
"Crack!" The [Blood Jade Transmission Talisman] at my waist, bound to the Rat King's Soul, shattered with a boom!
It turned into powder filling the sky!
