Chapter 756: Chapter 221: Schemes Behind Schemes, Plots Amidst Undercurrents (Extended Chapter)

The eyes of the yellow-robed man showed a trace of heartbreak. He flicked his sleeves, revealing a dense cluster of red-black stones in his hands. These stones were only the size of pigeon eggs, clearly much smaller than when they first appeared.

At this moment, these stones floated within the yellow barrier, shattering and transforming into streams of light that surged into his body, causing the receding yellow light to become full again and even brighter.

Meanwhile, Li Yuan, after clapping his hands, did not let go but instead gripped the yellow bubble with his fingers, intending to lift it up and continuously burn it with withered fire.

He was unafraid of prolonged consumption!

The Taiyang could endlessly provide him with Yang Qi.

But the yellow-robed man was not willing to allow that.

With a slide of his sleeve, three earth-yellow flags flew out. 𝘧𝓇ℯℴ𝓂

The flags broke through the yellow bubble, rotating like a shield of light within the withered fire, soon forming a second layer of the bubble outside.

Within this bubble, a large amount of rocks appeared out of nowhere.

The yellow-robed man pointed with his hand.

Suddenly, the three flags ceased "rotating" and formed into a "line".

The "line" flag abruptly shot towards the mysterious figure seated behind the golden giant, accompanied by the dense piercing of rocks.

Li Yuan had no choice but to turn back to block.

With two loud "bangs".

The rock "line" flag actually pierced through two golden giant hands.

But Li Yuan compressed and spewed out another burst of flame, slowing the speed of the "line" flag’s piercing until it barely stopped at the golden giant’s lips.

Not far away, the yellow-robed man quickly retreated, returning to the ground, raised his hand in a gesture, and the "line" flag suspended in mid-air at the golden giant’s lips shot back as a rainbow light.

The yellow-robed man grabbed the three flags with one hand, flicked his hand, and planted one into the ground.

The golden giant’s large hand slapped down.

It seemed impossible for the yellow-robed man to dodge, but he suddenly disappeared and reappeared several miles behind Li Yuan, raised his hand and flicked down another flag.

The golden giant’s large hand missed, and seeing another flag on the ground, it reached to pull it out.

Yet when it pulled, it seemed like it was pulling up the entire ground, naturally unable to move it.

In that instant, the yellow-robed man appeared at another location, planting the last flag.

But just as he planted it down, the golden giant vanished, and the mysterious figure seated behind it also disappeared.

Looking down from the sky, the three earth-yellow flags had already constructed a mysterious domain, where all the soil within transformed into Earth Dragons, churning and roiling.

However, outside this domain, nothing was affected at all.

But...this was the Imperial Capital.

No matter how empty, there were still people living here.

Li Yuan had been spewing fire towards the ground before, but this triangular area was completely covered.

In an instant, many people didn’t have time to react before they perished amidst the upheaval of the earth.

Fortunately, the yellow-robed man dared not linger in battle. Upon seeing the golden giant disappear, he swept his sleeves, retracted the three flags, and then vanished into the ground, disappearing without a trace.

The Imperial Capital returned to its calm.

The confrontation of masters was fleeting.

This time, the yellow-robed man was clearly prepared, so Li Yuan gained no advantage. Although their powers differed, the difference was not significant... In a "fight to the death" of mutual exhaustion, the yellow-robed man would likely lose in the end, but in a normal battle, the outcome was just like this.

...

In the Deep Palace, inside the An Divine Hall, Xie Wei felt the distant, terrifying tremor, slightly turning her head, furrowing her brows slightly, then retracting them, her long legs wrapped in the dark gold of a deep-colored Phoenix Robe.

This deep color signified the Empress Dowager’s calm and solemnity, but on Xie Wei, it appeared even more alluring, as if "power" and "beauty" had been blended together, generating a strong desire within people’s hearts.

Swish...

The corner of the Phoenix Robe slipped.

Xie Wei’s starry eyes narrowed slightly.

The distant sudden tremor, that golden body and firelight visible through thousands of palaces, instilled fear in any martial artist, even those of the Fourth Grade.

Xie Wei was only a Sixth Grade Martial Artist, so she should feel the same.

But...she did not.

Some people crumble during upheaval, while others... go mad.

Xie Wei’s expression suddenly turned charming, her hand gently caressing her face as she applied makeup facing a copper mirror, painting a golden ornament on her forehead.

The Xie Family in Mingyue Prefecture had been exterminated for more than half a year, yet no trace was found. Many high-level experts from the Mountain Hall came to her aid, but many were waiting for higher-quality Meat Fields to make a breakthrough.

In the Imperial Capital, there was one Third Grade Meat Field and four Fourth Grade Meat Fields, nurturing the Hanzhou Iron Cavalry, Flying Bear Army, Imperial City Guard, Dark Guard, and the Mountain Hall, together with eight Commanders stationed here and numerous Social World Sects and other forces...

Simply put, it had long been exhausted.

She must cultivate new fields to draw resources from the Third Grade Meat Field, specifically supplying those strong enough to break through, providing her with more cards and allowing further exploration.

But where would the new fields come from?

As Xie Wei pondered, she heard a sound fall in the yard.

A burly man in yellow armor strode in.

The man had a crew cut, white hair, his eyes calm and unperturbed, his hands giving an impression of thickness and solidity, like large shields.

A cape was fastened behind him, fluttering with vigor, adding a touch of majesty.

This man was none other than Shi Shabai, the Hall Master of Mountain Hall and once one of the Five Great Tyrants within the Five Elements Forces.

Shi Shabai’s name was delicate, but his demeanor was steady.
