usurped the throne of the ancient kingdom. And then, it was still this old thing helping the Holy Son of the Eastern Desolate Sacred Land to hunt me and my master everywhere!"Master was arrested! Th...The capital city of Daxia, with formidable defenses.

It looks like it's on high alert.

Upon entering the imperial city, all individuals must undergo strict scrutiny and questioning. There is even a special formation at the city gates. Within this formation, those being inspected will be detected as having abnormal spiritual fluctuations if they lie.

But such a tactic naturally couldn't stop Yun Hao and Xia Xuan.

The two people entered the imperial city successfully.

Xiaoxuan gazed upon the imperial city that belonged to her a thousand years ago, an overwhelming sense of emotion welling up within her. Her expression was complex and full of thought.

"It won't be long before this place belongs to you again."

"Um!" Xiuan nodded heavily.

Two people walked along the streets of the imperial city. Every street was patrolled by soldiers from the Ironblood Legion. Within the imperial city, no matter where, any slight abnormality would cause a chain reaction, attracting powerful forces to suppress it!

After a moment.

Two people came to a street where they could see the palace.

"Young Master, what is that" Xia Xuan looked at the incomplete dragon body a thousand feet long circling above the palace. Shock was etched on her face.

A gleam flashed in Yun Hao's eyes. With a glance, he saw through the mystery within.

A top-grade grand formation built on the basis of Dragon Vein fragments, all five pieces of Dragon Vein fragments Xia Xun Dao collected were inside.

It is precisely this power that can disregard space and emanate a mysterious suction force, drawing the remaining dragon vein fragments back.

Behind the scenes of Tianming Mountain Villa, there was a Saint Son from the Eastern Wilderness Holy Land a thousand years ago. A thousand years have passed, and even though that Saint Son did not become a leading figure in the Eastern Wilderness Holy Land, it is likely he still holds a high position.

Given this context, it wouldn't be surprising if the people of Tiandming Mountain Villa set up an array of high-grade Earth rank, even a top-grade Earth rank or even a Heaven rank. Yun Hao wouldn't bat an eye.

When Xia Xuan heard the phrase "Earth Grade Superior Array," his expression became noticeably more solemn.

In terms of martial arts realm, this is a power that only those who have transcended the Dharma aspect and ascended to the level of celestial beings can contend with.

At present, at the Wǔ Diàn (Martial Hall) side, there aren't any martial artists who have surpassed the Pháp-xiang realm.

There is indeed a master of Earth Grade Superior Array Formations, who just broke through to the Zhu Grade. Even though the Zhu Grade practitioner utilizes the "Fusion with Array" path, possessing extremely strong melee combat power, to counter an Earth Grade Superior Formation, one can only rely on using array formations to restrain other array formations.

Can Zhu Pin have the opportunity to set up an array within the Daxiang Imperial City that could rival this grand formation

She knew that it would be very difficult to go to war with the Xia imperial family.

Having Heaven's Mandate Manor involved in this battle, the difficulty was far beyond her expectations!

"Breaking this array isn't difficult, someone noticed us, let's go." Yun Hao's voice echoed in Xia Xuan's ear.

The two of them quickly left.

Nearby, a group of Ironblood legionnaires

drew their gaze back.

"Don't worry, it's fine!"

"The defenses of the imperial city have never been this tight. At this time, unless someone is out to die, no one would dare to cause trouble."

"Those two guys, they look like they're good for nothing. Don't worry about them."

A few men from the Ironblood Legion muttered to each other, then continued their patrol elsewhere.

Yun Hao and Xia Xuan stayed at a guesthouse in the imperial city for a while.

Through his exploration, Yun Hao had a general understanding of the layout and defenses of Daxia Imperial City.

If a mere Fa Xiang Realm expert were to infiltrate the Imperial City, once discovered, even if at the peak of the Fa Xiang Realm, they would face almost certain death!

Moreover, the overall defense of the imperial city is airtight. It would be extremely difficult for even the combined forces of the Wuhui Demon Guard and Tianbao City to launch a successful assault!

As for the various influential figures Zhang Tao has connections with, don't place too much hope on them. After all, the core of this battle lies in the clash of Fa Xiang realms and even high-level Earthly Formation arrays!

The Zhay Yao Mountains, where many demons congregate, could be considered a flashpoint, a major game-changer.

Xia Xuan checked the inn and then came before Yun Hao, saying, "Young master, there's some good news."

Yun Hao looked at her.

Xia Xuan said: "I've discovered that the protective formation of Daxia Imperial City hasn't changed much from a thousand years ago. If I can conquer one of its formation bases, I will be able to control this city-protecting formation using the national weapon of the ancient Daxia Kingdom, the Chi Cang Sword!"

That top-grade crimson Azure Sword, after all this time of nurturing, has recovered its sword spirit to its peak.

Yunhao: "The foundation of this city-protecting grand formation is almost all located within the palace, with only one foundation situated within the royal city."

Xia Xuan immediately filled with admiration and said, “Master, you are truly amazing. You were able to figure out the secret of this city-protecting grand formation so easily.”

You're right, the base of this Imperial City Protective Array is unique. Only one isn't located within the palace. This was a consideration by the ancestors of the Xia Dynasty royal family.

To prevent a traitor from occupying the palace one day, causing the city-protecting formation to fail, a special array base was left outside the palace.

Every once in a while, the location of that formation base would change.

Ever since ancient times, only those who guarded the formation base and the current Xia Emperor knew the exact location of that formation base.

"If we can just find that stronghold, it will mean a lot to us!"

Yun Hao: "The formation base is now located in the south of the city. When the time is right, I'll take you there to deal with the guardian of the formation base. You will wield the Chi Cang sword and control this imperial city's grand formation!"

Now, hands off.

Once you take action, it will inevitably cause a ripple effect, stirring up trouble.

Xia Xuan nodded: "I obey everything my lord commands."

Yun Hao's mind moved, and he opened the space of his beast-taming artifact.

Suddenly, the Peng Guang flew out, and the plump wild cat landed directly on the ground.

The stray cat bared its teeth, looking very displeased, but upon seeing Yun Hao, it could only swallow its anger. It dashed forward and leaped into Xia Xuan's arms.

Xia Xuan directly grabbed the soft neck of the wild cat with one hand, placing it aside. "Little Meow," she said, "I need to cultivate, I don't have time to play with you. Here, eat some dried fish."

The stray cat felt deeply wronged.

Pengguang: "That's right, cultivation is the highest respect for life!"

Stray cat：“……”

………

Palace.

Qin Lie, who had spent many consecutive days playing with Xia Xun's royal women, finally grew tired of it.

He stepped out of the house, stretching comfortably, and then glanced at the thousand-zhang dragon shadow circling in the air.

"What's going on Not even a single piece of the Dragon Vein has returned" Qin Lie frowned, then roared: "Come here, this young master will personally take charge of the Gathering Dragons Formation!"

At that moment, several array masters from Tiandingshan Villa hurriedly controlled the formation and opened an entrance to the Gathering Dragon Formation.

Qin Lie's figure flashed, instantly charging into the thousand-zhang divine dragon's light and shadow.

The combined might of many formations, controlled and empowered by several formation masters, was bestowed upon Qin Lie.

At this moment, Qin Lie's essence, spirit, and energy completely fused with the thousand-zhang divine dragon's light and shadow. The power of absorption from the depths of nothingness instantly became even stronger.

One hour later.

"Whoosh!"

A shard of dragon vein, tearing through the air, merged into the dragon's light and shadow.

After another half hour, the second piece of dragon vein fragment returned!

In less than three hours, four pieces of the dragon's vein were summoned back. This thousand-zhang divine dragon's image, except for its missing head, was complete.

The dragon's veins shattered into nine sections.

As for the missing dragon head part, it was stolen long ago and refined by Yun Hao. It has nothing to do with the dragon vein's breakage this time.

At the inn.

Xia Xuan looked at Yun Hao, her face full of confusion.

Because those four dragon vein fragments were not summoned back by the thousand-zhang divine dragon's light and shadow, but were proactively given away by Yun Hao!and the others. They colluded with the demon clan and slaughtered many of our Wuhui disciples on the battlefield.They all deserve to die, they have to die.If they don't die, wouldn't the belief of Wuh...
