It was just as I had imagined. After absorbing the true dragon vein, the jade bracelet didn't have that crazy suction force anymore. I took it off easily.
However, the moment the jade bracelet left the true dragon vein, the light from the dragon statue suddenly disappeared. After I put the jade bracelet in my pocket, the entire stone room became gloomy.
At this moment, I didn't care about that because the jade bracelet was filled with thick dragon energy and it was shining brightly. I couldn't hide it from others. Thus, when I took the jade bracelet back, I had already thought of a solution.
Although the Qi of the Dragon Vein is slightly different from the Qi of the Way, they come from the same source. The energy I absorbed from the dark green bead a few days ago could perfectly conceal the Qi of the Way in my body, so it must be able to conceal the Qi of the Dragon Vein as well.
Thus, after I took the jade bracelet back, I immediately put it next to the dark green bead. Then, I tried my best to use the dark green energy in my body and the energy I had absorbed from the dark green bead to cover the jade bracelet.
Perhaps it was because the dark green energy in my body wasn't enough. When I held the jade bracelet, the energy that I had used wasn't enough to cover the light. However, when I put the jade bracelet next to the dark green bead, before I could guide it, the dark green bead suddenly released a huge amount of energy and surged into the jade bracelet.
Right after that, the jade bracelet's light disappeared, along with the dragon energy. Its color became dark green, which didn't look eye-catching at all.
I heaved a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.
However, Zhang Wenfei and the others were in an uproar. Everyone was panicking and discussing. While they were talking, they gathered around me.
There was still a dim light in the dark. After the true dragon vein disappeared, the stone dragon didn't have the dragon energy's light anymore. However, the stone dragon had been nourished by the dragon energy all year round, so it still had a faint light to illuminate the surroundings.
The change in the light in the stone room was transmitted to the outside. Before Zhang Wenfei and the others could come to my side, Director Song Xing's voice came from the crack in the rock.
He had always been calm, but now his voice was similar to Zhang Wenfei and the others. He was panic-stricken and shouted at us, "What happened?
What happened?
What happened to the true dragon vein? "
No one answered his question. Zhang Wenfei and the others also shut their mouths, not daring to say a word.
Song Xing hurriedly ran in front of us and looked at the barren stone dragon in disbelief. He muttered, "How could this be?
How was this possible?
The True Dragon Vein … dissipated? "
After he said that, he suddenly turned his head and glared at all of us. After a moment of silence, he asked gloomily, "What happened here?
Why would the True Dragon Vein disappear?
Zhou Yi, you go first! "
I calmly told him what had happened. Except for the fact that Yu Huan had absorbed the True Dragon's vein, I didn't conceal anything else.
After Song Xing listened to me, he didn't say anything. He turned around and asked Zhang Wenfei, who was standing next to me, to tell me what he had encountered after he had entered this place.
As Zhang Wenfei was explaining, footsteps could be heard coming from the entrance of the rock wall. A group of people seemed to be walking in this direction.
Director Song Xing turned his head abruptly and shouted, "Why are there no rules at all?
Is this a place you can enter?
Get out! "
"But the True Dragon Vein … …" The people that came in hurriedly tried to explain, but Song Xing didn't bother with them. He shouted again, "Get out!"
Those people finally stopped in their tracks. After a moment of silence, they retreated.
Song Xing then turned his head. His face was still gloomy as he asked Zhang Wenfei to continue.
It could be seen that Director Song Xing had a lot of authority in the Metaphysics Union. At least in the True Dragon Vein, only President Gu had appeared once. The rest of the time, he was the person in charge.
At this moment, those people that had rushed in were definitely the ones that were secretly guarding the True Dragon Vein. However, they retreated after a single sentence from him.
After Zhang Wenfei finished, Song Xing didn't change his expression and continued to let the next person speak.
During the entire process, I was quietly listening. At the same time, I was glad that I had been careful and didn't let anyone find any clues. Otherwise, they might have sold me out. I really didn't dare to think about it.
After everyone had finished speaking, Song Xing turned his head to look at the dim stone dragon. After a long while, he turned around and spat out two words.
"Get out."
All of us exchanged glances before we hurriedly left the stone room through the crack in the rock.
As soon as we got out, we met several middle-aged men in ordinary clothes. They were standing there with anxious faces. As soon as they saw us, they asked in unison, "What happened in there?
Why is the True Dragon Vein no longer emitting light? "
Before we could answer, Song Xing's voice resounded from behind. He wasn't talking to us, but to the middle-aged men. "Bring them back to the bus outside. You guys will guard the surroundings of the bus. Without my order, no one is allowed to leave."
After saying that, he didn't stop and turned around to return to the crack in the rock.
Just like that, we were guarded by the few of them as we returned to the bus that we had come from.
After we got into the car, they closed the door. Two of them got into the car and sat down, while the other three stayed outside.
For the next day and two nights, the ten of us stayed in the car. Song Xing didn't appear, nor did the other people from the Metaphysics Union. Only the five people who were watching over us stayed around us and stared at us covetously.
On the morning of the third day, the five people seemed to have received an order. The person guarding outside the bus suddenly came in and whispered something to the two people in the bus. Then, they informed the driver and we continued our journey.
According to the original plan, we were supposed to return to the Metaphysics Union's headquarters after observing the True Dragon Vein. However, after such an unforeseen event, I was a little puzzled as to where they were sending us.
Although the True Dragon Vein had an unforeseen event, we were still under strict control on the way back. There were also people who blocked our auras and didn't allow us to get off the bus.
The bus traveled for three days. When we were waiting outside the True Dragon Vein, the ten of us were a little anxious. However, things had calmed down during the past three days. Basically, everyone was stabilizing the dao energy in their bodies and temporarily putting the previous matter aside.
I was worried that something might happen, so I didn't dare to absorb the dragon energy from the jade bracelet. I was like the others, slowly stabilizing the dao energy in my body.
After three days, the bus finally stopped. After we were allowed to get off the bus, we went out and saw that we had returned to the Metaphysics Union's headquarters.
However, after getting off the bus, the ten of us weren't allowed to move around freely. A group of people brought us to a low room in the headquarters' courtyard.
After we entered, there was a grim-looking young man waiting for us.
He didn't introduce himself, but the first thing he said was for us to take off all our clothes and take out all our belongings.
This order made us very resistant, but the man smiled maliciously and said, "You only have one minute. If you exceed the time limit, you will be killed on the spot."
I suddenly raised my head and looked at the tall, grim-looking young man. I couldn't see through his cultivation, but I could tell from his eyes that he wasn't joking.
Xu Shuxing suddenly took a step forward as though he wanted to question him. Zhang Wenfei, who was beside him, pulled him back and tried to persuade him.
At that moment, someone finally started to take off their clothes due to the man's cold aura.
With one person taking the lead, the remaining people's mental defenses were quickly broken. Everyone, including me, took off their clothes and placed their belongings on the ground in front of them.
The young man frowned when he saw the qilin tattoo on my chest, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he lowered his head to check my clothes and belongings.
