Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 210 The Gold Mountain is Empty
Xinjiabao, the ancestral home of the Xin family, a lineage of cultivators, is filled with spiritual energy and lush vegetation. Through generations of cultivation by the Xin family, it has become a beautiful scenic spot in the wilderness. But today, all of this has been stained red with blood.

With the outermost protective array of the mountain torn apart, the entire Xin family was breached by the Yellow Wind Sect in no time. Apart from a very few lucky ones who managed to escape, the rest of the Xin family members were either killed or captured.

"This Frost Dragon certainly chose a good time..."

Inside the Xin family's council hall, Huang Feng Sanren frowned slightly as he looked at the latest intelligence report. At this moment, news from Wujin Mountain had arrived.

"Master, this Frost Flood Dragon is truly a wolf in sheep's clothing. We spent so much to crush the alliance of cultivation families, yet it silently took over Black Gold Mountain. This is absolutely intolerable..."

Their words were filled with anger, and someone couldn't help but speak up.

Upon hearing this, many high-ranking members of the Yellow Wind Cult echoed his sentiments, and the crowd was instantly filled with indignation.

Seeing this, Huang Feng Sanren remained noncommittal.

He was well aware of what these people were thinking; they simply didn't want Wujin Mountain, this juicy piece of meat, to fall into the mouth of the Frost Dragon. There were only two spirit caves openly displayed in the entire Changfeng County: one in the County Prefect's Mansion and the other in Wujin Mountain.

The Xin family, as the second largest cultivation family in Changfeng County, has a considerable foundation and possesses many minerals and spiritual herbs, but it is still far inferior to Wujin Mountain. Not to mention that the Zhuang family is also skilled in weapon crafting and has always been known for its wealth in Changfeng County.

Under such circumstances, if we can capture Wujin Mountain, everyone present will benefit greatly.

"Lady Hua, have someone make preparations. After dealing with the Xin family's affairs, we will head to Wujin Mountain immediately."

After a moment's hesitation, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Huang Feng Sanren gave the order.

To be honest, he didn't expect Jiang Chen to seize the opportunity so well, nor did he expect that Jiang Chen could break through the Wujin Mountain formation in such a short time. Although Jiang Chen had broken through the Wujin Mountain formation once before, the Zhuang family adjusted their formation after that.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for Jiang Chen to break through the formation so quickly this time. That was why he hadn't been so eager to attack Wujin Mountain before. But he didn't expect Jiang Chen to find an opening.

Upon hearing Huang Feng Sanren's words, Hua Niangzi immediately bowed and agreed, then went to make preparations. The others also showed eager expressions on their faces.

While it's true that Frost Flood Dragon is very strong and has a record of killing Zhuang Tianxing, they have enough confidence in Huang Feng Sanren. He can lead them to rise all the way up, handle multiple attacks with ease, and eventually sweep through a prefecture. Huang Feng Sanren's strength is beyond doubt.

Not to mention that Frost Dragon doesn't have any capable men under his command, so if he were to be surrounded and attacked, he would most likely have no chance of escaping.

"But what is the origin of this Frost Dragon?"

After everyone left, Huang Feng Sanren stroked the black iron ring on his hand and fell into deep thought.

It must be said that he had some ideas about the Frost Dragon. The dragon's bloodline was powerful, and if he could subdue the Frost Dragon, it would be of great benefit to his future cultivation. Most importantly, as the Third Prince's man, he knew very well how chaotic the world in the Southern Kingdom was.

The death of Lu Yongnian and the destruction of the Lu family made him feel a sense of shared sorrow. He had long known that Lu Yongnian's chances of success were slim, but he was unaware that such a scheme was hidden behind the scenes.

"Lingzhen, oh Lingzhen, without Lingzhen, there is no hope for the future..."

With a sigh, Huang Feng Sanren's figure disappeared.

Several days later, on a clear morning, the Huangfeng Sect members approached Wujin Mountain in three flying boats. To show their seriousness, the Huangfeng Sect gathered most of its forces this time, with Huangfeng Sanren personally overseeing the operation, and Hua Niangzi and Xie Ziyao, two Qi Refining Masters, assisting them.

As for cultivators who have reached the minor stage of Qi Refining and the early stage of Qi Refining, there are even more, totaling more than ten people. This time, the Yellow Wind Sect is determined to surround and kill Jiang Chen, who has transformed into a dragon.

"The Great Formation of Wujin Mountain has been broken and it is impossible to rebuild it in a short time. Although Frost Flood Dragon seized the opportunity and took advantage of the loophole, it may not be a bad opportunity for me."

"If Frost Dragon really insists on guarding Flame Hill and not coming out, it will be a problem."

On the flying boat, gazing ahead, Huang Feng Sanren's mind raced with various calculations. Not long after, the Huang Feng Sect members truly arrived near Wujin Mountain. Sensing the undisguised dragon aura emanating from the mountain, everyone's faces turned solemn, except for Huang Feng Sanren, whose expression changed slightly.

"wrong!"

Realizing something, Huang Feng Sanren waved his sleeve, and in the next instant, a gale swept up, and the scene of Wujin Mountain was instantly transformed. The original spiritual light dissipated, leaving only devastation, and the so-called dragon aura vanished like a dream.

At this moment, Mount Wujin is devoid of spiritual energy, and all its treasures have been looted, leaving only a bare mountain peak, its overall height seemingly reduced by three feet.

Seeing this, Huang Feng and his followers looked at each other in bewilderment.

During this time, Huang Feng Sect naturally had spies watching Wujin Mountain. Although they dared not get close, they still had a general understanding of the situation. It was precisely because of this that they gathered so many forces to come here. Unexpectedly, they found nothing. All of the previous events were illusions. The real Frost Flood Dragon had already left.

"It's an illusion; we've fallen for their trick."

Having taken in all the changes, Huang Feng Sanren knew perfectly well that this was a deliberate illusion set up by Shuang Jiao.

"Master, the Frost Dragon has already left this place. Could it be...?"

Having guessed something, Lady Hua couldn't help but speak up; at this moment, her heart was also filled with surprise and doubt.

Upon hearing this, Huang Feng Sanren waved his hand to stop her before she could finish speaking.

"Have someone search Wujin Mountain again to see if there are any other clues. Be careful, Frost Dragon may have left other tricks up his sleeve."

With a calm expression, Huang Feng Sanren gave the order.

Hearing this and seeing Huang Feng Sanren like this, everyone felt reassured and immediately began to take action.

"Master, Wujin Mountain has been searched thoroughly, but no additional traces have been found."

"All the treasures that the Zhuang family could take were taken by the Frost Dragon, and even that spiritual cave was destroyed. It's just unknown whether it was the Frost Dragon's doing or the Zhuang family's doing. It's more likely the Zhuang family's doing, since destroying a spiritual cave isn't easy and requires a lot of preparation."

With a hoarse voice, Hua Niangzi reported the latest situation to Huang Feng Sanren.

Upon hearing this, Huang Feng Sanren said nothing, but simply nodded silently.

Looking at Huang Feng Sanren like this, the thoughts that Hua Niangzi had been suppressing resurfaced.

"Master, that Frost Dragon might have gone to Xin Family Fortress. Should we really just ignore it?"

With a hoarse voice, Hua Niangzi voiced the question that had been lingering in her mind.

Upon hearing this, Huang Feng Sanren shook his head.

"It's too late. This time we've fallen into Frost Dragon's trap. If it really goes to Xin Family Fortress, then we'll have to accept it. Fortunately, the losses are still within an acceptable range. After all, I took most of the Xin family's truly precious treasures with me. The only thing I regret is that first-tier Fire Jujube Tree."

His voice was low as Huang Feng Sanren turned his gaze toward Xinjiabao.

Upon hearing this, Lady Hua fell silent; it was indeed too late.
