Chapter 564 An Lushan
Unable to contain her curiosity and excitement, she cautiously opened her eyes and looked down.
The sight that came into view made Sarah gasp.
Below, the ground had a unique structure resembling a furnace workshop, where a large group of people with sallow complexions and emaciated figures were gathered.
These people, their hands and feet shackled, were struggling to push a huge metal winch located in the center.
Every push required tremendous effort, but they gritted their teeth and persevered.
This is solely to continuously provide the necessary kinetic energy to the massive furnace in the center.
Upon closer inspection, Sara could easily tell that these pitiful people were likely the families of Mako and the others.
They were filthy, covered in black dirt, and their once bright and lively eyes had become dull and numb.
You could tell just by looking at their lifeless faces and exhausted bodies.
They had clearly suffered a long period of inhumane enslavement.
Beside this enormous furnace, three long production lines were neatly arranged.
Like tireless mechanical behemoths, they continuously produced puppet soldiers.
Sarah stared wide-eyed at the scene before her, her shock beyond words.
She murmured to herself:
"This...this is truly shocking! I never imagined that An Lushan would dare to so cruelly enslave my people in order to create these terrifying weapons!"
At the same time, Qianyao's sharp eyes were searching everywhere.
He knew that a crucial dragon vein hub must be hidden here.
Once it can be located and shut down, this massive furnace will immediately cease operation.
After careful observation and exploration, Qian Yao's eyes narrowed.
"Found it!" He spotted his target not far away—
A small, exquisite ancient altar covered with mysterious sealing runes.
When Qianyao landed on the ground with Sara, the scene below was already in chaos.
Countless puppet soldiers surged out of the nearby passage like a tidal wave.
Those laborers who were working hard were powerless against this powerful impact.
They were all knocked to the ground, and could only cower in the corner in fear, trembling.
"Oh no, they're charging at us!"
As more and more puppet soldiers approached them, Sarah couldn't help but let out a panicked cry.
However, Qianyao appeared remarkably calm. He gently waved his hand, indicating to Sarah that she didn't need to panic.
Immediately afterwards, his figure swayed slightly, and a dark shadow slowly rose from his shadow.
In an instant, a jet-black light burst forth, and then a majestic Susanoo, ten meters tall, appeared before everyone's eyes.
With a sudden swing of its enormous hand, Susanoo unleashed a powerful force that swept across the area like a whirlwind.
Those puppets that once seemed indestructible instantly became incredibly fragile, just like building blocks that a child might casually assemble.
Completely powerless against this force, it was directly dismantled into scattered parts, which were scattered everywhere.
Sarah, witnessing this scene, was stunned. Her mouth agape, and after a long pause, she murmured:
"Wow...that's amazing!"
However, while she was still in shock, Qianyao had already walked quickly to the center of the altar and began to study the small seal in front of him with great concentration.
In just a short while, Qianyao had already figured out the secrets of this small seal.
He swiftly formed a series of complex and mysterious hand seals with his hands, following his movements.
Runes shimmering with strange light flew out of his hand one after another, like a flock of graceful butterflies, flying towards the seal and continuously merging into it.
Sarah only then came to her senses. When she turned her head and saw Qianyao trying to seal the small nexus of the dragon vein, she was startled and hurriedly shouted:
"No, you don't have our family's bloodline, so there's absolutely no way you can successfully seal the dragon vein..."
However, before she could finish speaking, something unexpected happened.
—The entire sealing formation suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and then all the light seemed to be attracted by some powerful force.
It suddenly contracted towards the center and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the furnace next to it, which had been burning fiercely and providing energy, suddenly seemed to lose all its power source. The flames went out instantly, and the entire space fell into a deathly silence.
Qianyao slowly raised his head, looked at Sara with a puzzled expression, and asked:
What did you just say?
Sarah was stunned, her eyes were empty and lifeless, and she seemed somewhat dazed.
After a long while, she finally came to her senses as if waking from a dream, and said in a trembling voice:
"You...how were you able to seal the Dragon Vein Hub? How is this possible..."
Upon hearing this, Qian Yao couldn't help but chuckle and asked in return, "Do you really think the dragon vein belongs to your family?"
"Although your bloodline makes sealing the dragon vein relatively easier for you."
"However, in reality, as long as one's research and understanding of sealing techniques are deep enough, it is entirely possible for anyone to complete this task."
The reason is actually very simple and easy to understand: Sarah's bloodline has a special method for sealing the dragon vein.
However, Qianyao himself is already a master-level sealing expert.
The fact that he successfully deciphered the structure of the seal in just a few dozen seconds is enough to prove this point.
Clearly, this was not a problem for him.
The puppet soldiers below, who had been moving freely, had stopped all their movements.
An unexpected thing happened: a large number of chakra threads suddenly shot out from another pipe.
These lines spread out like a net, precisely connecting the scattered puppet parts.
Immediately afterwards, a slight mechanical sound rang out.
These previously fragmented puppets reassembled themselves at an astonishing speed and stood firmly up again.
Just as Sarah was stunned by this turn of events, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from above.
Looking in the direction of the sound, a man wearing a wide-brimmed hat and with a full beard slowly walked out.
This man was none other than An Lushan!
When he saw the person in front of him, a look of surprise flashed across his face, followed by a malicious smile:
"Your Majesty, why have you come here? Don't you know this place is fraught with danger?"
