Chapter 3359 Leaving
Wei Qing only brought one troop of men, and he also needed to take care of the cavalry regiment left behind, which resulted in a large number of people skilled in long-range shooting in this troop, while there were very few true cultivators.

If we exclude Dong Zhongshu, who came to Wei Qing's aid later, Wei Qing only had a captain named Su Jian by his side, who possessed the cultivation of the Divine Power Realm.

Unfortunately, Su Jian was also summoned by Wei Qing.

Many powerful cultivators were in this underground palace, and the aura emanating from the cauldron made it difficult for them to move, which gave Yu Dan an excellent opportunity to escape.

"That guy's legs should be chopped off!" Wei Qing said angrily.

"It's nothing. The ancestral land of Dragon City has been breached, and we need a messenger. Yu Dan's identity is very suitable," the new emperor said.

The new emperor and Zhang Xuezhou faced each other, holding the dragon bone as they slowly walked towards each other, while Dong Zhongshu provided guidance from the side to prevent any imbalance in the formation.

Wei Qing cursed repeatedly, but did not pursue them. Instead, he directed several people to quickly tidy up the items in this underground space. On the other side, Su Jian stood by the entrance steps, his aura subtly shifting towards the Sole Self Realm. The others did not disturb him, but instead assigned tasks to each other.

"The emptying of this place will undoubtedly have a significant impact on the royal family of the Xiong Kingdom. It's a pity that General Li's forces suffered too many losses in the fall of this place!"

Zhang Xuezhou felt a pang of regret, while the new emperor shook his head.

"If the Xiong Kingdom hadn't coveted Li Guang's army, the ancestral land of Longcheng wouldn't have fallen into our hands," the new emperor said. "It was precisely because they were moving around in the Yunzhong region that Wei Qing was able to lead his army here and defeat them!"

"Toki Ye! Life!"

Dong Zhongshu exclaimed twice.

The new emperor wanted to refute Dong Zhongshu's idea of ​​following one's heart, but then felt that it would be useless to refute it, so he remained silent and simply continued to cooperate with Zhang Xuezhou in moving and shifting the dragon bones.

The tunnel is not long; one can enter and exit normally in just a few dozen steps.

Stepping out from behind the shifting dragon bones, the former palace had become a ruin, with only some unburnt logs slowly smoldering.

"We must move in sync. If we move out, this secret place may be separated from Dragon City. If we make a mistake, another person will be stranded in the secret place!"

Dong Zhongshu gave a few instructions, while Wei Qing urged everyone to leave with their heavy belongings.

"This dragon bone weighs at least three to five hundred pounds. Dongfang Shuo, can you still hold on to it?" the new emperor shouted.

"Hey, does it weigh three to five hundred pounds?"

Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed in surprise, while Dong Zhongshu, who had not picked up the dragon bone before, noticed that everyone's perception of weight was completely different.

According to Dong Zhongshu, the dragon bone weighed more than three to five hundred jin, otherwise he would have been able to lift it.

The new emperor felt a bit heavy and thus roughly estimated the weight of the dragon bones, while Zhang Xuezhou seemed to feel nothing.

It was one thing for Dong Zhongshu to be less skilled than cultivators like the new emperor who focused solely on cultivating qi and blood, but he couldn't quite grasp the extent of Zhang Xuezhou's strength.

"I think it weighs over 400 pounds!"

The new emperor moved with every step, his gaze fixed on where Zhang Xuezhou was stepping.

“The Imperial Shuttle can carry one dragon bone without any problem, but carrying two is difficult,” Zhang Xuezhou said.

"I didn't say I'd use the Sky Shuttle to take this thing back!"

Zhang Xuezhou's thoughts wandered a bit. The new emperor, whose strength was gradually waning as he gripped the dragon bones with both hands, realized that he hadn't been thinking that much at all.

“Ordinary warhorses cannot withstand the stimulation of the dragon bone’s aura,” Zhang Xuezhou said. “We can only use the Sky Shuttle to carry them. I will make two round trips, and you will follow Lord Wei for a while. We will ride the Sky Shuttle together again when I return on the third trip!”

"That's okay too!"

The new emperor had no choice but to nod in agreement.

He was just thinking about how the two of them would simultaneously pull the array device out of the secret place; he had no intention of transporting the dragon bones back to the Han territory.

But since Zhang Xuezhou said that, the other party probably doesn't care about the formation at all and is certain that they can simultaneously pull the formation device away.

It appears that the new emperor is proceeding slowly and deliberately under Dong Zhongshu's guidance and in coordination with Zhang Xuezhou, but the new emperor feels that Zhang Xuezhou seems to be mimicking his own pace, thus achieving a harmonious unity.

Zhang Xuezhou was quite professional when it came to formations. They advanced step by step, meeting almost face-to-face at the entrance.

Only after Su Jian, his body radiating deep red magical power, burst out of the underground palace and rushed out of the secret place did Zhang Xuezhou and the new emperor prepare to step out together.

From lifting their legs to landing, the two moved in perfect unison, a pace so perfect that even Dong Zhongshu could hardly find fault with them. But just as they were about to step out, everyone saw the earth in this secret realm shake violently.

"Oops!"

Dong Zhongshu exclaimed in surprise, and saw Zhang Xuezhou and the new emperor's bodies explode.

The collapse of the secret realm and the faint traces of disappearance emerged. Although the two were clearly at the entrance of the secret realm, stepping into Dragon City felt like being separated by countless distances.

"So close to the end of the world!"

Dong Zhongshu gritted his teeth. It seemed like only a step away, but this was the space separating the secret realm from Dragon City.

This space is filled with geomagnetic light and has a distance far beyond what ordinary people can perceive, making it extremely difficult to traverse.

It was as if they were on a collapsing cliff, and it would be extremely difficult for Zhang Xuezhou and the others to jump out and return to safety.

Dong Zhongshu stretched out his hand, and a wisp of blue light appeared on his right hand, causing the blood and qi in his arm to vibrate violently.

"General Wei, this is terrible!"

Dong Zhongshu had never been to any secret places before, so he had no experience. Standing atop Dragon City, gazing at the increasingly blurry secret place, and looking at the two figures so close yet seemingly reflected in a mirror, he couldn't help but call out to Wei Qing.

"The secret realm is beginning to dissipate. Your Majesty can surely cross it by using your sword to build a bridge!"

Wei Qing replied in a muffled voice, but he couldn't help but hesitate as he watched Zhang Xuezhou's figure, unsure whether Zhang Xuezhou had any tricks up his sleeve.

"It's...too heavy!"

As soon as Wei Qing finished speaking, Dong Zhongshu saw a sword light shoot out like a rainbow. Behind the sword light, the new emperor, his body glowing red with blood, staggered out, panting and holding his sword and carrying the dragon bone.

"It's very heavy!"

Zhang Xuezhou's voice came from the gray, disappearing shadows of the secret place.

As if pushing the new emperor forward from behind, Zhang Xuezhou's figure almost followed the new emperor as he stepped out.

When the two stepped out together, Dong Zhongshu noticed that the new emperor had a long blue belt wrapped around his waist, with the end of it tied to Zhang Xuezhou.

Dong Zhongshu initially thought that Zhang Xuezhou was helping the new emperor step out of the secret place, but when he saw it clearly, he realized that Zhang Xuezhou was actually being carried out by the new emperor.

"Luckily the distance was short, otherwise this blood snake would be dead for good," Zhang Xuezhou complained.

"Luckily the distance is short, otherwise I would be dead from being dragged like this by you!"

The new emperor also voiced his dissatisfaction.

The vertical sword technique undoubtedly has the advantage of piercing and thrusting within short distances, and the martial artist's reaction speed is also faster than that of the sorcerer.

The new emperor found a way to deal with the situation the moment they encountered each other. Zhang Xuezhou was a little slower to react, but he was also very clear-headed. He used the Three-Zhang-Qing sword to tie himself to the new emperor and was thus dragged away from the dangerous place by the new emperor.

It was a minor accident, but it was certainly alarming.

Even as the new emperor descended the mountain from Dragon City to mount his horse, some lingering emotions still lingered in his heart.

While recounting the perilous situation, the new emperor also didn't forget to criticize Zhang Xuezhou's "taking advantage" behavior as being too dangerous.

"If Lord Dongfang also has the confidence to leave the Dragon City ancestral land, he chose to bind you because he was afraid something might happen to you!"

While Dong Zhongshu was still analyzing how to save himself from this predicament, Wei Qing, who was leading the horse, unusually offered a word of support to Zhang Xuezhou.

His words silenced the new emperor's complaints, which stemmed from his physical exhaustion.

The new emperor eventually had to admit that things might be as Wei Qing said. It seemed that he had risked his life to bring Zhang Xuezhou out, but perhaps Zhang Xuezhou had chosen to tie him up in case of an accident, so that he wouldn't fall in if he wasn't skilled enough.
