"The disturbance seems to have died down..."
Inside Earth Dragon Cave on Soul-Rending Mountain, Demon King Hou Lu silently watched the red glow on the enormous stone wall ahead fade, its strange flickering gradually vanishing.
Not long before, a powerful aura had erupted here. The origin energy of the entire mountain had surged like raging winds, with thunder and torrential rain pouring down.
The mountain's three Demon Kings had ordered their underlings to maintain a strict watch, then gathered here themselves, prepared to keep the place under close scrutiny and give outsiders no opening.
Yet after they had waited quite some time, the disturbance had slowly disappeared on its own.
Qing Ji asked from beside him, "What exactly happened? Our minds can't penetrate deep into the earth veins, and we can't sense much on the level of destiny and fortune. But why did it feel as though a golden dragon phantom formed from the Great Qian Dragon Vein charged inside...?"
Hou Lu shook his head slightly. In truth, he had not seen it clearly either. He had only been able to make out two dragon veins locked in fierce combat.
"The dragon veins were indeed clashing, but a struggle over fortune isn't settled overnight. Nothing has happened here, so rest easy."
He offered a vague explanation, but even he did not quite believe it.
If nothing had happened, why would the Great Qian Dynasty's dragon vein have charged over to give their Demon Kingdom Dragon Vein a beating?
Though there seemed to be no tangible loss, that inexplicable feeling... still left a bitter taste.
Bai Yu said, "Experts have been probing this place repeatedly for the past few years, and recently Yue Prefecture has been attacking us as well. More and more experts are trying to fish in troubled waters.
