"If I recall correctly, there should still be some Hua Long Shui remaining at headquarters. You can go back and look for it. He Ao and the others know where it's stored."
"However..."
Before Zhang Yingxiong could finish speaking, his spiritual body had already become completely ethereal and transparent, finally disappearing before Zhang Yang and the others.
This!
Zhang Yang was very helpless.
However, what? You should explain it clearly.
He Ao and Jiang Pan were also bewildered. They didn't know either.
The three of them couldn't help but complain about Zhang Yingxiong. Why didn't he say such important things earlier?
At this moment.
He Ao, who had been holding back for half a day, finally had a chance to speak.
He Ao was even more certain of one thing with Zhang Yingxiong's appearance.
This time, they must win over Zhang Yang to join the Huaxia Five Dragons.
Because...
Zhang Yang's current strength was very strong.
Even after giving up the energy of the Jiangnan City Dragon Vein, he had enough strength to lead the Huaxia Five Dragons to establish a foothold.
"Zhang Yang, I want to invite you to join the Huaxia Five Dragons. What do you think?"
"Join the Huaxia Five Dragons?" Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows and asked again.
He Ao nodded and said.
"Yes, join us. Although the turmoil in Jiangnan City has ended, this is just the beginning."
"News that the Huaxia Five Dragons still have power will definitely spread, and it will change the existing structure of Huaguo, inevitably attracting the covetousness of many forces."
"We need a strong person to support us at this stage, using Jiangnan City as a base to step into the open."
He Ao had already planned this matter long ago.
Coupled with the appearance of Zhang Yingxiong's spiritual body, and knowing that the peak strength of the Huaxia Five Dragons was all present, it further solidified He Ao's idea.
The Huaxia Five Dragons were declining, but it was only temporary.
As long as the top combat power remained, they could wait.
When they returned, the Huaxia Five Dragons would still be unshakable.
So...
Now they would give them a foothold and a leader.
And Zhang Yang was the best candidate.
However, He Ao was not sure if Zhang Yang would agree.
So he had to talk to Zhang Yang in a negotiating tone.
Zhang Yang, on the other hand, frowned deeply, lost in thought.
To be honest.
He really didn't want to get involved in these power struggles.
After all, the waters here were very deep.
Even though Zhang Yang was confident, this was still not the life he wanted.
He just wanted to live a stable life with the woman in his arms.
"Uncle He, if I don't join you, will you still accompany me to get the Hua Long Shui?" Zhang Yang suddenly asked.
"If you don't join, we will still accompany you to find the Hua Long Shui," He Ao replied truthfully.
Hearing this, Zhang Yang decisively shook his head.
"Okay, since that's the case, I won't join."
As expected.
Hearing Zhang Yang's answer, He Ao and Jiang Pan looked bitter.
It seemed...
Changing Zhang Yang was not that easy.
Boom!
Just then.
Not far ahead, a powerful energy erupted from Han Qingxuan and Ning Xiang.
This temporarily made He Ao and the other two give up their attempts to persuade Zhang Yang.
The three of them stared ahead in surprise.
The Qinglong Vein, which had returned to normal, was disappearing at a visible rate.
The disappearing dragon body turned into a pile of useless stones, falling casually to the ground.
And Han Qingxuan's emaciated body and white hair had also returned to normal.
"This Han Qingxuan is indeed not simple. He actually knows the method of refining dragon veins."
Jiang Pan and He Ao said to themselves.
The method of refining dragon veins was known to very few people.
Given Han Qingxuan's status, if he hadn't been guided by an expert, he wouldn't have been able to reach that level.
"Uncle, is Auntie alright now?"
Seeing Han Qingxuan's joyful expression, Zhang Yang asked as he walked back holding Ning Xiang.
"Yes, Ning Xiang's injuries have all been healed. I believe she will wake up in a few days."
Han Qingxuan looked down at his wife in his arms, very happy.
"Zhang Yang, thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid..."
Zhang Yang waved his hand, "We are family, no need for formalities."
"Haha, good, we are family, no need for formalities," Han Qingxuan said with a hearty laugh.
...
With this matter settled.
The turmoil in Jiangnan City was also completely over.
Tonight.
Not a few people lost their lives for the Jiangnan City Dragon Vein.
Zhang Yang, carrying the still unconscious Li Dabai, left the dragon pit with everyone and returned to the surface.
At the same time.
The surviving warriors of the Huaxia Five Dragons immediately surrounded them.
Everyone asked with concern.
"Deputy Minister, was our plan successful?"
Everyone looked at He Ao and Jiang Pan expectantly.
"Was... was it successful?" He Ao hesitated, asking himself.
He looked at his comrades, whose numbers had been reduced by nearly half, and felt very conflicted.
Tonight.
The remaining warriors of the Huaxia Five Dragons had all made the necessary preparations.
They were all fighting for a belief, which was the rise of the Huaxia Five Dragons.
But tonight.
The plan had deviated greatly.
He Ao didn't know how to explain it to them, or rather, how to say it without making them sad.
Jiang Pan also had a troubled expression, not knowing how to speak.
"Did we fail?"
Seeing the silence of the two deputy ministers, the joy in the hearts of the Huaxia Five Dragons warriors rapidly disappeared.
Could it be...
That their Huaxia Five Dragons truly had no chance?
"Deputy Minister, please tell us the result. We can handle it."
An older person stepped forward, his voice trembling slightly.
Obviously.
He was also afraid of hearing bad news.
But some things had to be faced eventually.
Even if they failed this time.
Then...
They would still continue to work hard to bring the Huaxia Five Dragons to their peak.
"I..."
He Ao cleared his throat.
He knew that no matter what, he had to tell them.
However.
Just as He Ao was about to tell the Huaxia Five Dragons warriors about the failure.
Zhang Yang stepped forward and said.
"Everyone, your minister's plan has certainly succeeded. In the future, our Huaxia Five Dragons will once again stand at the pinnacle of Huaguo!"
This!
Zhang Yang stepping forward and declaring the plan's success surprised He Ao and Jiang Pan.
They never expected Zhang Yang to change his mind so suddenly.
The warriors of the Huaxia Five Dragons looked suspicious.
If Zhang Yang still looked the same, they would know that he was the expert who had been slaughtering everyone tonight.
But the problem was that Zhang Yang had now recovered his original appearance.
They didn't recognize him at all and had no impression of him.
"Deputy Minister, who is this?" someone in the crowd asked.
He Ao, full of joy and excitement, introduced.
"Everyone, this is Zhang Yang. His strength is above mine and Jiang Pan's."
"He is the son of Zhang Yingxiong, the former Minister of the Azure Dragon Department, and will also be the future Minister of the Jiangnan Department of the Huaxia Five Dragons."
This!
The warriors of the Huaxia Five Dragons were instantly overjoyed.
Minister Zhang's son!
His strength was even above the two deputy ministers.
Instantly.
Their perception of Zhang Yang changed.
"So, our plan really succeeded! That's great!"
"So it's Minister Zhang's son. I apologize. If that's the case, I have no objections."
"That's great! After working so hard for so long, our Huaxia Five Dragons can finally step out from behind the scenes!"
"..."
The warriors of the Huaxia Five Dragons were very excited.
They knew that Jiang Pan and He Ao would not deceive them.
Therefore, Zhang Yang in front of them definitely had sufficient strength to lead them.
Some of the more senior warriors even had tears in their eyes.
They looked at their fallen comrades who had sacrificed themselves in tonight's battle and shouted.
"Did you hear? We succeeded!"
...
Zhang Yang was also moved by the atmosphere, feeling deeply touched.
In fact, he didn't want to agree originally.
But he was an emotional person.
As soon as he left the dragon pit, he saw these warriors fighting for their beliefs with expectant faces.
He...
Really couldn't bear to see them sad.
Moreover, the dragon vein tonight had been completely absorbed by Han Qingxuan, which made Zhang Yang feel a little embarrassed.
Coupled with his father's identity and the matter of the Hua Long Shui.
Zhang Yang thought about it and decided to join.
At this moment, Han Qingxuan, carrying Ning Xiang, also walked out.
Unlike Zhang Yang, Han Qingxuan directly released his strength.
Instantly.
A strength of the middle stage of the True Yuan realm was displayed before everyone.
"Everyone, taking advantage of this auspicious night, I, Han, also wish to join the Huaxia Five Dragons. What do you all think?"
What?!
Someone else wanted to join!
And he was a strong expert in the middle stage of the True Yuan realm!
The warriors of the Huaxia Five Dragons had not yet recovered from the shock.
They looked at Han Qingxuan, who was in the True Yuan realm, as if they were dreaming.
Middle stage of the True Yuan realm!
Experts at this level were rare even among the existing forces in Huaguo.
They were fully capable of establishing their own sects.
If this person also joined them, then the Jiangnan Department of the Huaxia Five Dragons, which would be established in the future, would no longer have to worry about being coveted by other forces in Huaguo.
He Ao and Jiang Pan felt the same.
When they heard about Han Qingxuan joining, they seemed to wake up from a dream.
It was Zhang Yang who reacted first, smiling.
"Let us welcome Senior Han's joining!"
Zhang Yang started it, and the others also applauded and cheered excitedly.
"Welcome Senior Han to join! Welcome!"
...
Tonight.
For the Huaxia Five Dragons, it was the most exciting day after years of forbearance.
Their hard work, enduring hardships and shedding blood, finally paid off.
With the joining of these two strong individuals, Zhang Yang and Han Qingxuan,
The Huaxia Five Dragons were filled with confidence.
Especially Zhang Yang.
Not only was he the son of Zhang Yingxiong, but also because of his own talent.
At such a young age, he had reached a height that ordinary people could not attain.
His future achievements would surely not be inferior to the former five ministers of the Huaxia Five Dragons.
Someone who witnessed this scene.
There was also Qian Mian, who was hidden in the dark.
At this moment.
He, who wore a mask and never showed his true face, also secretly took off his mask and wiped away a tear.
The southern region of the Huaxia Five Dragons had finally succeeded.
...
One night.
Too many things had happened.
Zhang Yang let the warriors of the Huaxia Five Dragons leave one by one.
Although it had been decided to establish the Jiangnan Department, it would not be so quick.
For now, they still needed to remain hidden for a while, as Zhang Yang and He Ao and others still needed to return to headquarters.
...
Tonight.
The demolished land of Jiangnan City was stained red.
As Zhang Yang and the others all left, the events here were considered completely over.
And these corpses scattered everywhere would naturally be cleaned up by someone.
Huang Rui, the mayor of Jiangnan City.
And Tuoba Hong's father from the provincial capital, Tuoba Muyu.
Both of them arrived.
They looked at the old residential area littered with corpses, with different thoughts in their hearts.
Before coming, they had all received news.
They knew who had the final say in the end tonight.
Huang Rui smiled and said sarcastically.
"It seems that what belongs to Jiangnan City still belongs to Jiangnan City."
"Hmph, Huang Rui, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. The Huaxia Five Dragons are a hot potato. Are you sure your Huang family can handle it?" Tuoba Muyu snorted, extremely displeased.
This time.
His son Tuoba Hong was seriously injured, and the experts from the Baili family and the Nangong family were all wiped out here.
Even the Dragon Group and the Patrol Division suffered heavy casualties.
It could be said that they had suffered a great defeat tonight.
"I'm not thinking anything. Jiangnan City is still Jiangnan City. What does the Huaxia Five Dragons have to do with me?" Huang Rui chuckled, choosing to play dumb.
"Nothing to do with you? That's best. If there is, your Huang family in the capital should be careful." Tuoba Muyu said with a grim expression.
Then, he angrily flicked his sleeves and led his men away.
After Tuoba Muyu led his men away, Huang Hanshu looked a little solemn and said.
"Father, are we doing this too obviously? What if..."
Huang Rui interrupted his son before he could finish.
"Hanshu, some things are decided by the family elders. We are just executors, so you don't need to worry too much."
"You arrange it immediately and have all the Huang family experts leave. They cannot stay in Jiangnan City any longer."
Huang Hanshu nodded and turned to leave.
Tonight.
A large number of people from the Huang family had indeed come.
It was their appearance that made Tuoba Muyu so angry.
Otherwise, with Tuoba Muyu's background, how could he have let Tuoba Hong bring only a small group of people?
Furthermore, after being seriously injured, he chose to swallow his pride.
All of this.
It was because the Huang family had made a move, which made them choose to give up.
"Clean this place up," Huang Rui said to the person behind him.
Then he looked in the direction Zhang Yang and the others had left, gazing into the distance alone.
"Zhang Yang, I hope you can give me enough surprises, and I hope the family's choice is not wrong."
Half an hour later.
The people brought by Huang Rui cleaned up the entire battlefield.
Then they quietly left.
However...
The old residential area did not completely fall silent.
Deep within the dragon pit, a figure had been hiding quietly.
She only came out when the sky turned the color of fish belly.
The events of the past five to six hours felt like a dream to Guan Fenghua.
And it was a very exciting and stimulating sci-fi fantasy blockbuster.
During these five to six hours, Guan Fenghua fainted twice.
Confirming that the surroundings were quiet and everyone had left, Guan Fenghua opened the door of the excavator and came out.
She looked at the dragon-shaped pile of waste stones on the ground with curiosity.
Last night.
This pile of stones was a fierce dragon with powerful strength.
It was finally absorbed by Han Qingxuan and a woman who looked very similar to Han Xiyao.
Thus, it turned into this pile of useless stones.
"Let's look around, maybe there will be something good."
Guan Fenghua said to herself.
Then she began to search the entire dragon pit, but after a careful search, she did not find anything unusual.
Just as she was about to leave in disappointment, she suddenly noticed two blackish-green thread-like objects in a corner of the dragon pit.
This is...
Looking at these two thread-like objects, which emitted a faint dark green light, Guan Fenghua couldn't help but recall what happened last night.
"These are the dragon whiskers that Zhang Yang cut off last night!" Guan Fenghua exclaimed with great joy.
Guan Fenghua had personally witnessed Han Qingxuan's recovery from emaciation after absorbing the dragon veins last night.
Therefore, these two dragon whiskers must also bring her great benefits.
Immediately.
Guan Fenghua picked up the dragon whiskers.
As soon as her hands touched the dragon whiskers, she felt as if she had been electrocuted.
The blackish-green light from the dragon whiskers automatically ran into Guan Fenghua's body.
This...
