Chapter 417: The Dragon Vein of Hedao
The secret about Xu Erniu is the tacit understanding between the Patriarch of Changsheng and Zhang Chen.

When Xu Erniu looked at the pendant in the hand of the Grandmaster Changsheng, her eyes suddenly turned red. She struggled violently and wanted to rush over, but was stopped by Zhang Chen, who grabbed Xu Erniu's wrist and attached the immobilization talisman directly on her.

"Old Deng, you are so shameless that you actually want to use a little girl's hand to ask for a chance to escape. This is not what a hero does!" Zhang Chen glared at the Grandmaster of Immortality: "Now that I have laid a net of heaven and earth, how can I give you a chance to escape? Don't waste your time. Even if the king of heaven comes today, you are dead!"

Zhang Chen's voice was filled with cruelty, and he said coldly to Xiantian Peacock: "Kill!"

"Kill!!!" The Xiantian Peacock spat out a word coldly and attacked the Patriarch of Immortality again.

"You two dogs are going too far and won't give me any chance to live. Do you really want to fight me to the point of mutual destruction?" The face of the Patriarch of Longevity was mad. He saw that he had no way to go up to the sky and no way to go down to the earth. Now he could only fight to the death.

Along with his roar, a roar was heard in the void, and then a light shield appeared around the Longevity Patriarch, which actually blocked the fatal blow of the Innate Peacock outside the light shield.

"What the hell! Old Peacock, you're not going to let him win, are you?" Zhang Chen was shocked when he saw that the attack of the innate peacock did not kill the ancestor of immortality.

"Something's not right. This old guy is going to fight to the death!" But Xiantian Peacock's voice was full of caution.

Meanwhile, Xiu Liu, who was lying on the ground in pieces, seemed to sense the crisis. His body trembled suddenly, and his limbs reassembled in an instant, turning into a streak of blood and falling beside Zhang Chen. His eyes were filled with horror, "Sir, something is not right! An inexplicable crisis is emerging. This crisis is extremely dangerous. I'm afraid we can't handle it."

Hearing Xiu Liu's words, Zhang Chen thought about something in his heart, and then glared at Xiu Liu with a pair of eyes: "You bastard, you dare to pretend to be dead in front of me, right?"

Xiu Liu smiled, not panicking at all, "Sir, I am not pretending to be dead, but Changsheng Patriarch is too strong. He even broke the Blood-Transforming Divine Sword. How can I fight him?"

Hearing what Xiu Liu said, Zhang Chen glared at him, but he could do nothing. This was his only subordinate above the Fruit level. What could he do? He couldn't just kill him, could he?

"Take Xu Fu aside and protect his safety. For the rest, you just need to stand guard on the side." Zhang Chen pushed Xu Fu to the side next to Xiu Liu. He was not afraid that Xiu Liu would use some tricks to harm Xu Erniu.

Xu Fu said respectfully, "My lord, just wait and see! As long as I, Xiu Liu, am alive, I will never let the young lady get hurt in the slightest."

Zhang Chen nodded in satisfaction and signaled Xiu Liu to retreat to a corner. Then Zhang Chen stared at the Changsheng Patriarch with his eyes fixed, holding the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth in his hand. He wanted to see what tricks the other party was up to.

"I say, have you sensed something is wrong? Otherwise, let's run away quickly! Since I became an ancestor, I have never felt so nervous." Xiantian Peacock retreated to Zhang Chen's side, with a rare look of uneasiness in his eyes.

Zhang Chen turned his head and glanced at Xiantian Peacock. Ever since he met this old guy, he always had an arrogant attitude, as if he was in a position of "I am second to God and I will not submit to anyone else." What kind of means could have scared Xiantian Peacock like this?
One must know that the innate peacock is an innate creature. It can deal with the power of the five elements of heaven and earth and has the ability to sense crisis. Therefore, Zhang Chen would never dare to underestimate the intuition of the innate peacock.

"What trump card does this old fellow have that can help him reverse the situation?" Zhang Chen didn't believe that the other party could turn the tables under his arrangement. Apart from anything else, even this Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation would be enough to give the other party a hard time. The other party's cultivation had been reduced to the twelfth level. How could he escape from his Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation?
"You forced me to do it! You forced me to do it!" The Patriarch Changsheng was standing in the light shield at this time, with his whole body full of energy. Then, there was a loud and crisp sound from the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array, and a crack appeared in the ground. With an earth-shaking dragon roar, a khaki dragon head poked out from the crack in the ground. As soon as the dragon head appeared, it directly tore the entire Nine-Bend Yellow River Array apart. The Nine-Bend Yellow River Rune Array collapsed directly and turned into countless runes scattered around. Seeing this, Zhang Chen did not bother to collect the runes, but looked at the khaki dragon, stunned:
"What the hell is that? How could it be so powerful?"

That was the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, and it was broken in one encounter?
Zhang Chen went to see the dragon and saw that its head was as big as a hill. It came out from the crack in the ground with a hideous and ferocious face.

"Shit, something big has happened! That's the dragon vein of Qingcheng Mountain! The Longevity Patriarch has gone crazy and actually extracted the dragon vein of Qingcheng Mountain. He wants to die together with us!" The Innate Peacock replied in a horrified voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chen immediately understood that the dragon vein had the power to destroy everything. Nothing could invade or fear the power of magical powers. The Patriarch Changsheng had merged with the Qingcheng Mountains and had the power to mobilize the dragon vein of Qingcheng Mountain. The other party was destroying his foundation and wanted to die together with him.

No wonder the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation was as thin as paper and was torn into pieces at the first sight.

"Woooo~"

Then a painful cry was heard from the dragon vein, Mount Qingcheng continued to shake, the magnetic field between heaven and earth was in chaos, the laws of heaven and earth were wild and disordered, the laws of the five elements were reversed, and it was chaotic to the extreme. The rules of heaven and earth were completely confused, and even the escape technique could not be performed.

"Once the dragon vein is out, it will be the end of the world." Zhang Chen stood in the storm, feeling the wind and rain blowing. The dragon vein roared, and blood kept seeping out of the dragon scales. Obviously, the dragon vein was drawn out, and the dragon vein itself was also seriously injured.

"Once this dragon vein is extracted, the thousand-mile Qingcheng Mountains will be destroyed! In the future, the entire Qingcheng Mountains will gradually die and turn into a wasteland. We have committed a great sin." said the Xiantian Peacock.

Zhang Chen was immediately displeased when he heard this, his eyes full of innocence: "He was the one who pulled out the dragon vein, what does it have to do with us? Why should the sin be put on us?"

"You are right, but God doesn't understand your reason." The voice of Xiantian Peacock was full of sighs.

Zhang Chen had a grim look on his face, and he looked towards the Patriarch of Longevity and the dragon vein of Qingcheng Mountain. He saw the dragon vein roaring, and its body kept shrinking, and it drilled directly into the body of the Patriarch of Longevity. The thousand-mile-long dragon vein had completely drilled into the body of the Patriarch of Longevity in just a few breaths.

A terrifying force swept towards Zhang Chen like an overwhelming force, causing Zhang Chen to tremble in his heart.

"What should we do now? Run away? Can you handle this old guy?" Zhang Chen had already sensed that something was wrong.

Hearing Zhang Chen's words, Xiantian Kongque sighed helplessly: "This fellow has merged with the dragon vein of Qingcheng Mountain. The power of the dragon vein can destroy everything. How can I be his opponent? As for escaping, the laws of heaven and earth are in chaos. You and I can't perform escape techniques. How can we run? Just relying on our two legs to run? How many miles can we run? Dozens of miles? Or hundreds of miles? Does it make any difference to this old guy?"

"What should we do then?" Zhang Chen took out a pair of golden scissors from his sleeve, a look of caution in his eyes.

“Don’t worry, there is still hope! This old guy is extracting the dragon veins of heaven and earth, which is equivalent to directly seizing the fortune of heaven. He is committing a great crime against heaven. He has already violated a taboo. I am afraid that when he finishes merging the dragon veins, heaven’s punishment will come. If he wants to kill us, he has to survive the catastrophe first.” As he spoke, the innate peacock took the ascension pool and unnoticeably blocked the water tank-sized ascension pool in front of him.

"What's so special about this pond?" Zhang Chen took a look at the Ascension Pond, pretending not to know it, and asked the Xiantian Peacock questions.

“The immortal who died that year was resurrected after soaking in the Ascension Pool.” said the Xiantian Peacock.

Zhang Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, this Ascension Pool was really mouth-watering. This Ascension Pool had the power to suppress, and it also had the power to transform a person, it was really enviable.

"Can I go in and take a bath?" Zhang Chen pleaded with Xiantian Peacock.

Upon hearing this, Xiantian Peacock looked Zhang Chen up and down and said, "You beg me! If you are willing to beg me, I will lend you this Ascension Pool to soak in."

Zhang Chen certainly did not hesitate to praise him, and at this moment he lowered his head and said, "I beg you, ancestor, to lend me the Ascension Pool!"

Xiantian Kongque smiled triumphantly upon hearing this, and was about to take advantage of Zhang Chen again, but who knew that the next moment he would hear

"Bang~"

A loud bang was heard among the mountains, and the rolling Qingcheng Mountains were suddenly broken into dozens of sections by the earthquake, revealing large canyons.

At this time, the Changsheng Patriarch had completely integrated the dragon veins, and his eyes glared at Zhang Chen and Xiantian Peacock: "Have you two thought about how to die?"

"Die? We may not die, but you old man are doomed! Your own calamity is about to come, and now you have committed such a sin, calamity upon calamity, I'm afraid you will die first under the calamity." The voice of the Xiantian Peacock was full of sneers, and he didn't worry at all about being at the hands of the other party.

“Haha, before the calamity comes, I will kill you first!” The voice of the Changsheng Patriarch was full of gloom. The next moment, he clenched his fists tightly, and a dragon-shaped energy roared around his body. Then he suddenly punched out and rushed towards Zhang Chen in a mighty manner: “Boy, I will kill you first today to relieve the hatred in my heart.”

He hated Zhang Chen even more than he hated the innate peacock! If it weren't for Zhang Chen's secret planning and layout, constantly fueling the flames, and plotting behind the scenes, how could he end up like this today?

So he hated it! He hated it to the extreme!
Zhang Chen must die today! He said so!
