This!
The arrival was incredibly imposing.
A beam of cyan light flashed in his hand, striking the three-headed bird's beak!
Then, he grabbed Zhang Yang's hand and quickly fled this dangerous place.
This...
Such a familiar feeling.
Zhang Yang looked at the middle-aged man pulling him along, seeming to guess his identity.
He was somewhat excited, and also somewhat confused!
Did the person who emitted the cyan vital energy just now call him his child?
Could it be...
He was his father, Zhang Yingxiong!
With a heart full of questions, Zhang Yang was led by this middle-aged man into a cave.
The cave was very deep. Zhang Yang and the man went down dozens of meters before stopping.
At this moment.
The middle-aged man also turned around.
Seeing the man's appearance, Zhang Yang's heart grew even more excited!
His guess was correct; the person who saved him was his father.
Zhang Yingxiong!
And Zhang Yingxiong was also very excited!
He had seen Zhang Yang when he left his spiritual body in Jiangnan City.
So, naturally, he was not unfamiliar with Zhang Yang.
This father and son, after more than twenty years, had finally met!
Both of them had mixed emotions.
"Why are you here?" Zhang Yang asked.
Although Zhang Yingxiong had saved him, he still couldn't bring himself to call him "Dad."
"Heh, after the Five Dragons of Huaxia were destroyed, we were forced into this godforsaken place and have been living here for over twenty years," Zhang Yingxiong said with a wry smile.
"What about you? Why are you here? This is the Far West, the territory of the Ink King's successor. What are you doing here?"
Zhang Yang pondered for a moment.
He concisely told Zhang Yingxiong what had happened recently.
After listening, Zhang Yingxiong was shocked!
He hadn't expected that in just one year.
So much had happened to Zhang Yang!
Not only had he re-established the Five Dragons of Huaxia, but he had also been conferred the title of King of Jiangnan by the Emperor.
He had even gone south to suppress the descendants of the Ming King, and now he had even annihilated a large portion of the Ink King's successors!
And most importantly, Zhang Yang's own cultivation realm had actually reached the Yuanfu realm, the same as theirs!
"Good heavens, you truly are a monster!" Zhang Yingxiong exclaimed.
He thought his own talent was astonishing enough, but compared to his son, it was nothing.
"What about you? Weren't you doing well when we met at the Dragon Pit in Jiangnan City? Why do you look like you're living in a cave?" Zhang Yang retorted.
This...
Zhang Yingxiong felt a bit awkward.
As a father, he naturally didn't want to show his pathetic side to his child.
So, he had lied when he was in Jiangnan City.
"This goes back more than twenty years. Back then..."
After Zhang Yingxiong's explanation, Zhang Yang finally understood what had happened over twenty years ago.
It turned out.
The Five Dragons of Huaxia had been attacked by powerful enemies.
Initially, Zhang Yingxiong and the others didn't know who the enemy was.
But later, the Emperor personally intervened and told Zhang Yingxiong the identity of the enemy.
This led to Zhang Yingxiong and his men fighting back fiercely and pursuing them all the way to the Far West.
In the past.
The five ministers of the Five Dragons of Huaxia were incredibly powerful, virtually unstoppable in Huaguo.
But when they arrived in the Far West, they realized there was always someone better!
Although Mo Tu and Mo He at that time had not yet broken through to the Yuanfu realm,
their cultivation levels were comparable to Zhang Yingxiong and the other five.
With a five-on-three advantage, Zhang Yingxiong and his men should have won.
However.
Just as they were about to win.
Zhang Yingxiong and his men were attacked by a group of mysterious black figures.
These black figures were exactly the same as the heroic spirits Zhang Yang encountered in the Ink King's Hall!
They were simply unkillable!
In the end, Zhang Yingxiong and the other four fought until they were exhausted, were forced to the entrance of the endless abyss, and had to jump into this godforsaken place to save their lives.
Then, they had been trapped here until now.
"That's how it happened," Zhang Yingxiong said with some embarrassment.
For many years, he had been trying to escape from here, but he had never found a way.
"What about the other four ministers of the Five Dragons of Huaxia?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Look, they are resting inside."
After Zhang Yingxiong finished speaking, he led Zhang Yang deeper into the cave.
In no time, they found four other figures meditating with their eyes closed.
Compared to Zhang Yingxiong's middle-aged appearance, these four ministers of the Five Dragons of Huaxia looked much older.
Their hair was all white, and their skin was full of wrinkles.
However, the power emanating from them was incredibly strong.
Zhang Yang was greatly surprised!
These five ministers were all in the Yuanfu realm!
If this were known outside, the current Emperor would probably be stunned!
"There's no vital energy here at all. How did you break through to the Yuanfu realm in twenty years?" Zhang Yang asked.
Zhang Yingxiong suddenly grinned.
"Child, have you forgotten what the Five Dragons of Huaxia were founded upon? Although there's no vital energy here, there are good things underground. Otherwise, why do you think we dug a cave?"
This!
Zhang Yang suddenly remembered something.
The Five Dragons of Huaxia was an organization founded by absorbing the power of dragon veins!
"You mean, there's a dragon vein down here too?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Yes, and it's a very, very extraordinary dragon vein. It's incredibly strong. The dragon vein in Jiangnan City wouldn't even be enough to fill its teeth," Zhang Yingxiong said.
Zhang Yang was instantly shocked!
The dragon vein in Jiangnan City was a mutated Azure Dragon Vein!
It was extremely rare.
But Zhang Yingxiong said that the dragon vein in Jiangnan City couldn't compare to the one here.
Then what kind of dragon vein was this?
"Child, don't be surprised. We've dealt with dragon veins too much. I can tell you very seriously that this dragon vein is definitely not simple."
"This is a black dragon vein, unique in the world. The Ink King's emergence was due to this dragon vein. Even though the dragon vein is currently in a dormant state, it is still filled with powerful energy that allows us to absorb it continuously!"
Zhang Yingxiong explained.
Black Dragon Vein?
Could it be that the Ink King's successor's black vital energy came from this?
No wonder they had been living in the Far West. They probably knew about this matter for generations!
"What do you mean by this dragon vein being in a dormant state? Don't dragon veins only have mature and immature stages?" Zhang Yang asked.
"Dormant is just the term we use. This dragon vein should have matured long ago, but it has always remained in a quiescent state. We are also very puzzled by this, so we call it dormant."
"But this black dragon vein is very strange! If it weren't for the five of us coming in, ordinary people would really have no way to benefit from it."
Zhang Yingxiong said with lingering fear.
Very strange?
Zhang Yang was stunned.
Just as he was about to ask further, the other four ministers of the Five Dragons of Huaxia suddenly awoke from their cultivation.
Instantly.
Four figures erupted with powerful killing intent, instantly locking onto Zhang Yang and Zhang Yingxiong!
"Damn it, they're here just as we're talking about them! Child, be careful! Back away!"
