Chapter 569 The Frog in the Well
Faced with An Lushan's clamor, Qian Yao merely shook his head slightly, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips, and said softly:
"What an ignorant and naive person."
Before he finished speaking, he quickly formed a complex hand seal with his hands.
In an instant, countless runes shimmering with mysterious light flew from his hand and, like shooting stars, plunged straight into An Lushan's body.
The moment these runes entered An Lushan's body, his connection with the dragon vein was abruptly severed.
The body, which was repairing itself at an astonishing rate, came to an abrupt halt at that moment.
An Lushan looked down in terror at the dense array of seals that had suddenly appeared on his body, and cried out in a trembling voice:
"What...what did you do to me!? Why can't I use the power of the Dragon Vein!?"
But Qianyao seemed oblivious to An Lushan's question, and expressionlessly formed hand seals again.
Countless mysterious and powerful rune chains suddenly appeared on An Lushan's body!
These runic chains shimmered with an eerie light, like nimble venomous snakes, quickly coiling around An Lushan's limbs, body, and even neck.
"Ah ah ah ah ah......"
An Lushan let out a bloodcurdling scream, but no matter how much he struggled and resisted, he could not break free from the bindings of these runic chains.
In the blink of an eye, he was like a tightly bound rice dumpling, unable to move.
Standing to the side, Qianyao watched An Lushan's miserable state expressionlessly and picked up a hard stone from the ground.
He walked up to An Lushan and forcefully shoved the stone into An Lushan's mouth.
Then he raised his hand and slammed it hard behind the stone.
With a crisp "crack," the stone was instantly embedded in An Lushan's mouth!
What's even more astonishing is that the stone seems to have undergone some kind of strange fusion reaction with An Lushan's puppet body, causing it to become deeply embedded and impossible to remove.
At this moment, An Lushan was in unbearable pain, and he could only make indistinct "woo-woo" sounds from deep in his throat.
However, because his mouth was blocked by stones, he couldn't utter a single complete word.
Just then, Minato, Naruto, and the others finally emerged from their hiding place with Sara.
“Naruto, this guy has absorbed the dragon vein seal of your timeline into his body. After I kill him, you will have to go back.”
Upon hearing this, Naruto couldn't help but show a hint of panic on his face.
He quickly turned his head and looked at the water gate beside him, his eyes filled with reluctance and longing.
To be honest, he had just reunited with his father, whom he had been separated from for many years.
However, along the way, they haven't had much time to get together and spend time together.
Moreover, while traveling, the question Minato asked most often was about Naruto's life experiences from childhood to adulthood.
After all, Naruto's knowledge of other matters was indeed quite limited.
Upon hearing that they could return immediately, Naruto felt a sense of bewilderment and helplessness.
Just then, Minato hurriedly spoke up to stop Senyao:
"Please wait a moment, Lord Qianyao, there are still many important things you haven't told me."
Upon hearing this, Qian Yao's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a half-smile, as he stared at Shui Men and said:
"Oh? What, now you want to know these things? Aren't you worried that this might change the course of history?"
Minato responded with a helpless, wry smile:
"Now that things have come to this, could there be a worse outcome than 90% of the ninja world dying?"
However, Qianyao said calmly:
"That certainly exists. For example... if everyone on the entire planet were to die."
Upon hearing this, Minato was speechless, staring at Senyo with a look of shock on his face.
Judging from Qianyao's expression, he didn't seem to be joking at all.
For a moment, Minato was caught in a deep hesitation.
However, when he turned around and glanced at Naruto beside him, the hesitation in his eyes vanished instantly.
It turns out that during his brief conversation with Naruto, Minato finally learned clearly what kind of suffering Naruto had experienced in his childhood.
It would have been fine if he had been completely unaware of this before, but now that he knows about Naruto's past hardships...
If he continues to pretend he doesn't know or care, then he would be failing in his duty as a father.
"I will change this history!" Minato said with a resolute look in his eyes.
"I absolutely cannot let Naruto live that kind of miserable life again!"
The thought of Naruto's ordeal made Minato feel as if a thousand needles were piercing his heart at the same time.
Whether from the perspective of a father's love for his child or from the perspective of maintaining peace and stability in the ninja world, Minato knew that he had to change the current course of history in the ninja world.
After all, just as Chiyo had described to him before, that terrible disaster had caused the deaths of ninety percent of the ninjas in the ninja world.
Such a devastating loss was undoubtedly a catastrophic blow to the entire ninja world, a veritable catastrophe.
Upon hearing Minato's resolute words, Chiyo couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Although he had long anticipated that Minato would make such a choice, he was still shocked when he heard Minato say those words himself.
An indescribable sense of relief still welled up in my heart.
"Alright, since you've made your decision, let's deal with the immediate problem in Loulan first."
As Qianyao spoke, he glanced at Sarah beside him.
Just now, a thrilling battle took place here, and Sarah witnessed it all.
Through this battle, she finally gained a profound understanding of the true meaning behind the Uchiha clan's formidable strength and realized what a true peerless powerhouse is.
At this moment, under the gaze of Qian Yao's sharp eyes, Sarah couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
I can no longer talk to Qianyao as casually as I used to.
Sarah took a deep breath, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart.
Then she slowly lifted her skirt, solemnly bowed deeply to Qian Yao, and respectfully said:
"Thank you so much, Lord Qianyao, for saving my people. The people of Loulan will never forget your great kindness!"
Despite the sparse population of Loulan, Sara's etiquette was extremely refined.
Her every move exudes elegance and poise, clearly indicating that she has studied etiquette since childhood.
“Sarah, you’ve already seen with your own eyes what a treasure the Dragon Vein is.”
Qianyao stared at Sarah, his tone calm but full of hidden meaning.
"With your current strength, Loulan is simply incapable of protecting such a treasure."
"Besides, you won't be able to use the dragon vein soon, so you'd better make plans as soon as possible."
