I picked up the scattered attributes

"This...is this?"

He was slightly startled at first.

Immediately, his eyes turned to surprise.

"The Dragon Vein Resonance Method in the Nine Dragons Sacred Heart Manual?"

……

Thirty miles outside Qianqiu Valley lies a deep forest.

Hidden among the trees is an altar several meters high, forged from countless rare and precious materials. The five elements circulate endlessly on the altar, generating an incomparably magnificent light curtain.

The Five Elements Sealing Formation consists of five altars.

However, contrary to what most people imagine, it is not that each altar corresponds to one of the five elements, but rather that each altar is equivalent to a small five-element sealing array!

The power of the five altars intertwined and interconnected, together forming the Five Elements Sealing Array.

Unless three or more altars are destroyed simultaneously, even if the restrictions of the great formation are temporarily broken, it will not be able to stop the operation of this sealing formation.

Suddenly, one figure after another stumbled and ran towards them, some with disheveled hair and clothes, others covered in cold sweat as if they had just been pulled from a pond.

Pfft!

Plop, plop!

One after another, people collapsed to the ground, panting heavily with all their might.

Suddenly, someone couldn't help but prostrate themselves on the ground and burst into tears:

"Three fellow Daoists...three fellow Daoists are gone just like that!"

The others fell silent.

An inexplicable atmosphere of sorrow permeated the air.

No one expected that instead of them aggressively surrounding Qianqiu Valley, they would be the ones who killed three Dao Platform Realm cultivators right from the start!

All three were decapitated, their internal organs destroyed by the sharp sword energy, and even the Dao platform was sliced ​​off by the sword light. They died almost instantly!

"The intelligence provided by the imperial court is definitely problematic!"

"Ji Qixi's strength is clearly still at its peak, how can she look like she's about to die?"

"These three fellow Daoists cannot have died in vain; this matter must be explained!"

After a brief silence, one of them said in a hoarse voice, "However, Xuanwu Kingdom has four Dukes of the State, His Majesty the Emperor, and that Daotai Realm expert. They are simply beyond our ability to contend with."

All the land in the world is the land of the king; the shores of the land are all the ministers of the king.

Over the past seven hundred years since its founding, Xuanwu Kingdom has cultivated a number of powerful individuals with the full strength of the nation, which is far beyond what a few sects can compete with.

"Xuanwu Kingdom is the general trend of the world, which we cannot resist."

"Ultimately, the problem still lies with Qianqiu Valley." Soon, someone changed the subject, saying coldly, "Qianqiu Valley right now is like a rock in a latrine, smelly and hard! If they had given in earlier, would so many troubles have arisen for no reason?"

"I simply don't believe that old Sword King could have survived three kings unscathed! Unless he has already broken through to the Yuan Dan realm, but how is that possible?"

The crowd fell silent once again.

They desperately wanted to go back and confirm the truth, but the majesty of the old sword king Ji Qixi, who had killed three kings with his sword, was still deeply imprinted in their souls, making them dare not turn back!

"Please be patient. His Majesty the Emperor of Xuanwu Kingdom has already made arrangements in Qianqiu Valley. Do not forget the Resonance Technique!"

In the midst of the silence, a middle-aged man dressed in gray suddenly sneered, "As long as we activate that resonance technique, we can easily contact those pawns that the imperial court has long ago placed in Thousand Autumn Valley!"

"Sect Master Tianjue is right... Dragon Vein Resonance Technique!"

"Anyone with royal blood, who has practiced royal techniques, or who has been bestowed royal blood by the royal family, can resonate with this secret technique, ignoring spatial barriers, and thereby transmit important messages!"

As they talked, their eyes quickly brightened.

The intelligence provided by the imperial court was flawed, making them hesitant to launch an attack. However, if they were to understand the true situation of Qianqiu Valley and combine the strength of several sects, they would surely be able to subdue the declining Qianqiu Valley.

"In that case, why don't you quickly activate that secret technique, fellow Daoist?"

A group of people cast hopeful glances at the man in gray.

The man in gray, who was also the leader of the Heavenly Annihilation Sect, coughed and said hesitantly:

"As you all know, activating this secret technique consumes a great deal of energy..."

……

Chapter 0046

"Sect Master Tianjue... what do you mean by this?"

Seeing the gray-clad man's actions, the group of people were all stunned.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, the Heavenly Absolute Sect Master appeared quite composed:

"As you all should know, royal family techniques are not easily passed on to outsiders. I am not of royal blood either, so obtaining a drop of royal blood... is not an easy thing."

He gave a nonchalant smile, as if he were talking about something unrelated to himself: "Moreover, practicing the Dragon Vein Resonance Technique with royal blood will pollute one's own power. Even if it is removed afterward, it will require a considerable amount of effort, not to mention the backlash from the technique itself..."

Who among those present wasn't a cunning old fox?

With things having been said to this extent, almost everyone realized what was going on.

So the Heavenly Absolute Sect Master was implying that he wanted to ask them for benefits!

"This old guy really dares to speak up!"

"However, if we refuse now, this guy will definitely take the opportunity to make excuses. If we drag this out for too long and Qianqiu Valley makes preparations, the benefits we can get will inevitably be reduced!"

In an instant, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and they had already made up their minds.

On the surface, they did indeed submit to the Xuanwu Kingdom, but in secret, they still had their own calculations.

The world is bustling with people, all seeking profit.

For example, the reason they accepted the imperial court's assignment to join forces to besiege Qianqiu Valley this time was partly to put on a show for the court and avoid the sect being retaliated against by the court.

On the other hand, if they could break through Qianqiu Valley earlier, most of the benefits would naturally belong to the imperial court, but if they secretly plundered some of the profits, the Xuanwu court would mostly turn a blind eye.

“What Fellow Daoist Tianjue said is not without reason.”

After a moment of contemplation, a plump Taoist priest spoke up with a smile: "In that case, we will pay a small price. Fellow Taoist, please take a look. This is a Five Thunder Pearl, which was refined from thunderstones collected from the Xuan Realm battlefield. The power of each strike is equivalent to a strike from the first level of the Dao Platform, and it is full of destructive power. The only drawback is that the controller will also be affected by the Five Thunder Pearl."

"No problem, no problem, a few minor flaws are nothing."

The Heavenly Annihilation Sect Master smiled broadly and took the purple bead: "What a treasure! As long as you can withstand the Five Thunder Beads' attack, it's equivalent to having an extra expert to assist you..."

At this moment, the others also realized the truth and followed suit.

“Fellow Daoist Tianjue, please take a look. This is the Wind and Fire Jade Silver Grass from Canglan Mountain. Even those at the Dao Platform Realm can use it to refine and strengthen their physique.”

"This is a protective mirror that I had specially crafted for me by a master craftsman in the royal city some time ago..."

"I don't have many treasures, but this Three-Turn Return to Truth Pill can heal injuries and enhance one's cultivation. It can be called the best among spiritual pills."

"Easy to say, easy to say..."

Finally, a smile involuntarily appeared on the face of the Heavenly Annihilation Sect Master.

He actually wanted to keep his cold face, but the things his old friends brought out surprised even him!

"We're all old friends, yet you're all so polite. How can I possibly accept this?"

"＃！%＃＆！@"

You're the one who's the best!

The group of people all turned pale. However, since the gifts had already been sent out, they wouldn't stoop to taking them back, given their status and position.

The chubby Taoist's face was also dark. He stood there stunned for more than ten seconds before gritting his teeth with a pained expression, forcing himself not to think about the Five Thunder Pearl: "Speaking of which, shouldn't Fellow Daoist Tianjue make his move now?"

"It is my duty!"

The sect leader of Tianjue Sect clasped his hands in a solemn manner and said.

Everyone immediately thought, "Pah!"

Just then, the Heavenly Absolute Sect Master waved his hand, and soon a thin young man carefully passed through the dense forest and finally arrived at the foot of the Five Elements Altar.

"Sect Master," the young man said, kneeling on one knee.

“In the original plan, the old Sword King of Qianqiu Valley didn’t have much time left, so there was no need to use you. However, the situation has changed now.” He paused slightly and said without the slightest hesitation, “There’s no time to lose. You should act now. With me here, you don’t need to worry about your life.”

The skinny boy reacted instantly.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately nodded vigorously and resolutely said:

"I will obey the sect leader's orders!"

"Very well, let's begin now!"

With the words of the Heavenly Absolute Sect Master, the experts from other forces present involuntarily felt a wave of dizziness – wait, this son of a bitch didn't actually do it himself, but instead had a young man from his sect activate the royal family's Dragon Vein Resonance Technique?

It even seems that this young man is not a disciple, but a death guard, or even a slave!

All that compensation they offered was based on the cultivation level of the Heavenly Absolute Sect Master. The Dao Platform is the foundation of the Dao, and if the Dao Platform of a Dao Platform Realm cultivator is damaged, repairing it is not an easy task.

but……

If the person who activated the secret technique was not the Tianjue Sect Master at all, then why would they pay such a high price for compensation?
