Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Haomeili

"Reporting to Commander!" The scout spoke respectfully.

"What have you discovered?" Zhong Shan asked.

"To the southeast, we've spotted General Wu'an of the Da Yu Dynasty leading a hundred thousand troops toward the East Sea. We're unsure of their intentions," the scout reported respectfully.

"Wu'an?" Zhong Shan frowned, a hint of curiosity crossing his eyes.

"Yes, General Wu'an's troops are marching urgently, as if something critical is happening," the scout added.

Zhong Shan dropped his chopsticks with a 'clack' and stood up.

"Let's go, prepare to move out!" Zhong Shan ordered.

"Yes!" Zhao Chuan responded promptly.

Leaving the scout to settle the bill, Zhong Shan and his ten-man team swiftly departed in the direction indicated by the scout's intelligence.

Two days later, at nightfall!

Standing atop a mountain peak, Zhong Shan and his group looked into the distance towards the base of another mountain!

At the foot of that mountain, something of great interest caught everyone's attention.

Firstly, there were a hundred thousand disciplined soldiers. Each one either had a bowstring drawn or held a large blade, organized in battle formation, all focused on a massive hemispherical light source in the center.

The light source, red in color, resembled a formation of sorts, shaped like a half-sphere. It seemed to act like a large canopy, exuding a powerful aura, akin to a colossal prison trapping those inside.

Within this colossal formation-prison stood a girl of about sixteen or seventeen, her hair tied in twin braids, exuding a youthful and beautiful aura. Her fair skin and slightly flushed cheeks made her look vibrant and lively. Her lips were pressed together in anger, her eyes wide open, glaring fiercely outside with an expression that spelled doom for whoever was out there.

Next to the girl was a dragon, a golden dragon.

Camel head, deer antlers, carp whiskers, ox nose, snake body, and eagle claws. A truly powerful member of the dragon clan.

The dragon's body was massive, occupying almost half the space within the prison. It was the mightiest beast clan in the world, currently imprisoned alongside the young girl.

The dragon's body bore numerous wounds, with blood trickling down, indicating it had just been involved in a fierce battle before being trapped.

The golden dragon was confined, its body coiling around and pushing against the prison, but the prison seemed too powerful. It barely deformed, pushing the dragon back to its original position.

This gigantic red prison was formed by a thousand people using hook-like treasures, aimed solely at imprisoning the dragon and the young girl within.

"The Da Yu Dynasty's 'One Qi Battle Array,'" Nian Youyou frowned.

"The One Qi Battle Array is rarely deployed. Besides Emperor Nalan or the Grand Commander of Da Yu, few others can activate it. Was it sent by the Giant Deer King?" Zhao Chuan frowned in surprise as well.

Zhong Shan stared into the distance because he recognized some familiar figures and things within.

Firstly, there were the 'Immortal Monuments' standing outside the One Qi Battle Array. Eight towering Immortal Monuments, each a hundred meters high, stood conspicuously in that spot.

And in front of the prison, stood someone familiar to Zhong Shan, General Wu'an.

And then there's Xie Yan, the demonic young man who implanted the demonic seed in Princess Qianyou. In the end, Zhong Shan extracted the demonic seed and implanted it in Xiao Qiushui.

Xiao Qiushui, the grandson of Xiao Wangzhi, once buried the man who met Zhong Shan and Princess Qianyou before encountering the millennium ghost.

At the moment, Xie Yan and Xiao Qiushui are both among the large army.

However, Xiao Qiushui was lying on the ground, seemingly unconscious, with a blackened face and faint black aura hovering over his unconscious face.

But Xie Yan stood beside Wu'an.

"General Wu'an, rest assured. After helping me resolve the matter at hand, the people of the Netherworld, my lineage, will assist you," Xie Yan said to Wu'an.

"I thank the Demon Lord on behalf of His Majesty!" General Wu'an smiled.

"Hmm!" Xie Yan nodded, then looked towards the young girl in the cage.

"Haomeili, I've done what I promised you. I retrieved the eight Immortal Monuments from the Netherworld, but what about you? You changed your mind? Hmph, my subordinate, Xiao Qiushui, what have you done to him?" Xie Yan said angrily.

However, the young girl remained silent, biting her lip with cold resentment and hatred in her eyes.

"Demon Lord, this shield of the One Qi Battle Array simultaneously isolates sound inside and out," Wu'an said.

"You can't hear? But she understands lip-reading, and so do I. Don't interfere, this is between me and her," Xie Yan told Wu'an.

"Very well!" Wu'an stepped aside.

But the young girl looked at Wu'an coldly. If it weren't for him, if it weren't for this general, she and Xiao Jin would have entered the ocean long ago, and they wouldn't have been trapped here.

Lip-reading, would Zhong Shan not understand it? Although they were separated by a very far distance and couldn't hear what everyone was saying, Zhong Shan knew what they were talking about as long as he saw it.

"He deserves it. Dare to stop me!" The young girl Haomeili was angry at Xiao Qiushui lying on the ground.

"But how did you do it? Why without warning, without injury? Was it done by the Golden Dragon?" Xie Yan stared at Haomeili.

"Xie Yan, you better let me go, otherwise, when the Dragon King comes, you won't escape!" Haomeili said coldly.

"Let you go? Didn't we agree before? Bring back the eight Immortal Monuments, and you'll be my companion. Why did you change your mind at the last moment? Still want to take away the Immortal Monuments while I'm not looking?" Xie Yan said sternly.

"You're too old. I'm only seventeen. I won't marry you!" The young girl immediately shook her head.

Hearing the young girl's words, the corners of the mouths of the soldiers around them twitched, wanting to laugh but not daring to.

"Hmph, I'll fulfill my promises." Xie Yan's face turned cold.

"Demon Lord, this little girl has no real strength. She's not even in the congenital period. What are you talking to her about? Take her back and do whatever you want!" Wu'an laughed on the side.

Xie Yan gave Wu'an a cold look, obviously blaming him for being nosy, and Haomeili also gave Wu'an a fierce look. Now Haomeili hated Wu'an.

Turning his head, Xie Yan glanced at the Golden Dragon and took a deep breath.

Just as Xie Yan was about to say something.

On the top of the distant mountain peak, Zhao Chuan and five generals each appeared with a strong bow, and six strong bows were drawn into a full moon shape. At the moment Zhong Shan waved his hand lightly.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Six breaking arrows, aimed directly at the center of the cage in the distance, the person who made the cage.

The breaking arrows came too quickly and too suddenly.

They directly aimed at six key figures of the One Qi Battle Array. By the time everyone noticed the breaking arrows, they were already in front of these six individuals.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Instinctively, under their innate intuition, the six quickly dodged. The six breaking arrows pierced directly into the ground.

Scatter if you dodge, die if you don't, chaos if you die. The six didn't hesitate to scatter.

In that moment of dispersal, the light shield of the cage also dissipated.

"Roar~~~"

Seizing the moment when the cage's shield dissipated, the golden dragon suddenly raised its head and roared wildly. The sound was filled with infinite desolation, infinite sorrow, and infinite grievance.

The dragon's roar echoed through the sky.

"Hum~~~"

Suddenly, the One Qi Battle Array was activated again, and the red light shield once again trapped the golden dragon and the young girl.

The well-trained army quickly protected the thousand people around the One Qi Battle Array, while the other breaking arrows turned towards Zhong Shan's direction.

"Damn it!" Xie Yan's eyes widened in anger.

But Wu'an didn't feel anything wrong. He only knew that someone dared to cause trouble.

"Fire~~~" Wu'an shouted angrily.

"Whoosh~~~"

Nearly twenty thousand breaking arrows swiftly shot towards Zhong Shan's direction.

"Boom~~~"

The collective power of the breaking arrows was extremely terrifying. Even though there were twenty thousand of them, in this dark night, they were still relatively scattered. Only about a thousand landed near Zhong Shan.

Under the full protection of Nian Youyou, A Da, and Zhi Huo, three super strong individuals, with a loud bang, all the breaking arrows were blocked.

At this moment, Wu'an could finally see Zhong Shan clearly from a distance. His eyes widened in surprise.

"Zhong Shan~~~?" Wu'an yelled fiercely.

Flying to the top of another mountain peak, Zhong Shan shouted, "General Wu'an, we meet again!"

Zhong Shan disrupted the situation just now because he recognized in that instant who the girl in the One Qi Battle Array was. Wasn't she the disciple that Xiduohuang wanted to take in? And wasn't the golden dragon next to her the same one that the little girl had stepped on nearly eight years ago?

At that time, a group of flood dragons escorted them, indicating that the golden dragon had an extraordinary identity among the dragon clan, not simple at all. Perhaps Xie Yan was strongly interested in the golden dragon's identity, hence his insistence that the young girl become his Dao companion.

Moreover, more importantly, her surname was 'Hao,' Hao?

Hao, the surname of the Great Hong Heavenly Dynasty, which had been destroyed, and the descendants of the Hao clan were hunted down throughout the world. Therefore, few people had the surname Hao.

The beast of the Great Hong Heavenly Dynasty was the dragon. They could summon the dragon clan. And this young girl surnamed 'Hao' just happened to have a dragon accompanying her, and it was not a low-status dragon.

The identity of the young girl was about to be revealed. She was a remnant of the Great Hong Heavenly Dynasty, a descendant of the Hao family. Furthermore, from the conversation with Xie Yan earlier, she was collecting the Eight Immortal Monuments, and even Xiduohuang was collecting the Eight Immortal Monuments for her?

With this series of connections, Zhong Shan suddenly realized everything. This girl must be saved without a doubt. Moreover, rescuing them might not only involve his own ten people but also potential allies, and these allies would come from that golden dragon.

A group of flood dragons escorted them. What kind of status did the golden dragon have? Not far from the East Sea, as long as the golden dragon cried out desperately. Then his team could change the weights.
