Chapter 174 Chapter 153 Buddha Won't Save Me, The Dragon Maiden Comes To Me_2
The black-clothed disciple kneeling before her wished he could bury his head deep into the floor below, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably.
It was as if he wasn't facing a national beauty, but rather some indescribable, horrifying monster.
Just carelessly looking up for a glance
would cause his head to burst and kill him instantly.
Ke Yulan was currently using the candle on the table to examine the contents of the letter, and as she read, her distant mountain-like eyebrows knit slightly, "For three hundred years, we've weathered many storms. I never expected that after breaking through the Heavenly Deceit Realm shortly, I would actually die in such a small place like Jiangzhou."
"There's also Pang Shan, Lian Qing, Mu Yuyan... I was quite fond of these youngsters."
Ke Yulan sneered twice.
She seemed to sigh, shaking her head slightly.
She crumpled the paper into a ball and fed it to a blue-eyed white-haired little fox beside her.
The little fox's face showed a distinctly human-like flicker of displeasure, but it obediently opened its mouth to swallow the letter Ke Yulan handed over.
"The people in Jiangzhou have almost all been uprooted."
The disciple kneeling on the ground was sweating profusely, and he asked, "I wonder if the leader still wants to continue investigating the whereabouts of the Dragon King's Tomb."
"It's a matter that's been in preparation for over a hundred years, naturally it cannot be abandoned halfway," Ke Yulan mused, "However, the situation in the northern province is still tumultuous, especially around Skull Plain, so it indeed isn't suitable to dispatch more forces to Jiangzhou. Let Elder Gong Ming handle this task. Give him this item, he will know what to do."
Ke Yulan reached out and took off a ring from her thumb and tossed it to the black-clothed disciple kneeling before her.
The disciple didn't look up, but accurately reached out and caught the ring.
The material of the ring was warm to the touch, like gold yet not gold, seemingly made from the bone of some creature. A chill went through the disciple's mind, but without further thought, he carefully asked, "Is there anything else you would like to instruct, my lord?"
"Go," Ke Yulan waved her hand.
The black-clothed disciple slowly got up, just about to leave, but at that moment—
Boom!
A dull and massive rumbling sound was approaching from afar.
"Is it thunder?" The black-clothed disciple raised his head to look out the window, where the night was clear, obviously not the weather for thunder. The subsequent vibrations from the ground confirmed his guess. The previously quiet stronghold seemed to be disturbed, with a large number of men and the sound of swords being drawn all coming simultaneously.
Ke Yulan's eyebrows furrowed suddenly, her face changing color, "Not good!"
"There's trouble with the Buddha statue!"
As a seasoned powerhouse of the Heavenly Deceit Realm, Ke Yulan's perception had reached an unfathomable extent. Nothing that stirred in the entire stronghold could escape her notice.
Swoosh!
Her figure flashed, bringing a fragrance of the breeze with her,
and she suddenly vanished from the room, appearing underneath a rock wall at the back of the stronghold.
Their fists collided.
It was like a grenade had exploded in the air, and the force of the high-pressure shock wave sliced through the walls on both sides, causing them to collapse.
Panic-filled screams resounded around the bustling restaurant, as many people instinctively scrambled to flee outside in a panicked rush.
Back on the battlefield inside the restaurant.
Though their sizes were completely disproportionate, the pure strength between the two was evenly matched.
Anade, monstrous and hulking as he was, stumbled back several steps, crashing through a wall and then buried under a pile of wooden structures and assorted furniture and debris.
On the other side, An Ran fared no better.
The girl's slightly slender frame flew backward like a cannonball, the window behind her shattered by the turbulent air current and she was blasted out.
Before An Ran could lose consciousness and hit the ground, Luo Qi's figure flashed, and she quickly caught her in her arms.
But by that time, the other An family disciples had regained consciousness.
And with ill-intent, they began to surround her from outside.
Luo Qi clenched her teeth.
She had no Dragon Blood and was just a common Martial Artist.
Her strength was completely out of league with these monsters; there was no chance in a direct confrontation.
But An Ran had also fallen into a coma. She had been backfired for forcefully using Dragon Blood, and with the day of the tomb's opening approaching, An Shelie's will grew increasingly violent and frenzied. Whether An Ran could wake up again soon was still uncertain.
"Huff..."
Luo Qi took a deep breath and recalled the events that had unfolded on the Guang River half a month earlier.
That terrifying strength which could confront natural disasters might offer them some protection, provided she could pay a suitable price.
"So—" A cold light flashed in Luo Qi's eyes, "This is your doing!"
Bang!
She threw a punch forward.

Then, she threw the unconscious An Ran over her shoulder, and with a powerful push off the ground, her figure flickered and she began to run frantically toward the Demon Suppression Tower.
Boom!
Behind Luo Qi, within the ruins of the collapsed restaurant,
A large hand, almost like a blue-black dragon's claw, burst forth violently, followed by Anade's towering figure emerging from the debris. His face was twisted with rage and his eyes flickered with a bloodthirsty red glow. He pressed a hand heavily forward, "Chase them! Tear that woman to pieces!"
