The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 297 Attempting to Awaken the Dragon Vein
Just as Song Wanning was continuing her search, a major event occurred in the outside world.

A monster has appeared in the cultivation world. Its whereabouts are unknown, and it has abducted many cultivators.

From Foundation Establishment stage disciples to ordinary people who don't know how to cultivate, many people have disappeared without a trace.

At first, everyone thought it was a coincidence, until one day a cultivator happened to witness it, and then the matter spread.

Upon learning this, Song Qingyun immediately contacted the cultivator, inquired about the location, and personally went to search for it. However, the monster was extremely clever and had already made its escape.

He returned empty-handed, and after some thought, he decided to inform the other families and sects about the matter.

The disciples will not have a moment's peace until this monster is eliminated.

Soon, news of the monster spread far and wide, and various sects and factions issued bounties, offering rewards to disciples who provided the necessary information.

Sects and families took it seriously, making the independent cultivators even more uneasy.

Even these major powers are on high alert, so that monster must be extraordinary.

These rogue cultivators, powerless and without any support, are in the most danger.

In an instant, everyone flocked into the city, not daring to linger outside.

The city became bustling with activity, with guards coming and going.

He Xiao, weary from his journey, arrived at the He family patriarch's study.

"How is it?"

The head of the He family frowned and asked.

He Xiao shook his head with a serious expression. "The Song family is very well hidden. I couldn't find anything unusual."

"Brother, do you think the Song family has really discovered a spiritual vein?"

It's not easy to hide the news of a spiritual vein, since once it's mined, the rich spiritual energy will leak out, making it difficult to conceal.

"I can't be 100% sure, but the Song family's sudden shift to such a large scale makes it hard not to be suspicious."

"Moreover, some spiritual veins have natural restrictions that make them very difficult to detect."

Patriarch He sighed. The Song family had several Nascent Soul cultivators, so even if He Xiao got close to the spiritual vein, he would probably be concealed.

"Never mind, let's put this aside for now. You should go back and rest."

The head of the He family was feeling somewhat weary. Ever since the Song family rose to power, it seemed that nothing in the He family had gone smoothly.

Now, the Wentian Sect has gradually slipped out of control and become the domain of the Song family, making life extremely difficult for the He family's disciples within the sect.

Hearing this, He Xiao didn't leave. Instead, his eyes flickered as he asked, "Big brother, what's going on with that monster? I see the city is under martial law everywhere; the situation seems very serious."

"Is that monster really that powerful?"

Upon hearing this, Patriarch He nodded calmly, "Yes, all of you should be careful these days, and make sure none of the clan's disciples get captured."

"Oh, I see."

He Xiao got the answer, stood up, turned around and went out the door.

Seeing the tense and wary expressions of his disciples, a deep meaning flashed in his eyes, and he strode away.

……

Time passed quietly, and the monster remained unsolved, but people continued to disappear.

However, the monster's movements were elusive and its speed was incredibly fast, and several attempts by Nascent Soul cultivators to capture it failed.

This has caused widespread anxiety.

Song Wanning was completely unaware of this; she had been underground for half a year.

The dragon vein is so vast that, apart from the dragon's head being located below the Song family's city, its body and tail extend outwards, likely occupying half of the human territory.

The entire human race will benefit from this, and the Song family will undoubtedly be the biggest beneficiary, as the dragon head position is where spiritual energy is most abundant.

After a six-month search, Song Wanning still couldn't find the sleeping dragon spirit.

The little golden sword was somewhat discouraged.

"Sister, do you think it's possible that this dragon vein doesn't have a dragon spirit, or that the dragon spirit has already disappeared?" The master's clone and main body searched separately for half a year without any clues, and they had searched almost the entire dragon vein.

"Let's keep looking, don't rush."

Song Wanning was also in a bad mood.

But dragon veins are extraordinary, so how easy is it to find a dragon spirit?

She suppressed her inner restlessness, calmed herself down, and continued her search.

Soon, another three months passed.

Song Wanning, who had her eyes tightly closed, suddenly opened them, her expression changed drastically, and she flew swiftly toward one of the dragon vein's claws.

Finally, she landed on the nail of a dragon's claw.

Who would have thought that such a vast and powerful dragon vein would have its dragon spirit hidden inside a fingernail...

Song Wanning's lips twitched. This dragon spirit even knows how to find a place to sleep...

With another sweep of his divine sense, he found a ball of white light curled up in his fingernail, its surrounding spiritual energy rising and falling with each breath.

After just a few glances, Song Wanning's anxiety and restlessness completely subsided.

It was like a comfortable, cool breeze brushing over my heart, soothing everything.

A smile played on her lips as she stood on her fingernail, lowered her head slightly, and then took out several items from her storage ring.

One ordinary spirit pearl, one box of cinnabar, and three sticks of incense.

She sat cross-legged, placed the items in front of her, and devoutly burned incense to cleanse her hands before preparing to awaken the dragon spirit.

In her mind's eye, the mantra from the classic texts was clearly presented. She exhaled a breath of stale air and began to close her eyes and silently recite the mantra.

The mantra and formula need to be recited silently forty-nine times.

As he recited it for the last time, the spirit pearl beside him suddenly flew up and spun rapidly around his fingernail.

"Snapped--"

The three incense sticks ignited without a flame, their red tips flickering, and soon a faint fragrance drifted out with the smoke.

As soon as the incantation was finished, Song Wanning suddenly opened her eyes and reached out to grab the cinnabar.

After dipping her finger in some cinnabar, she coldly flicked her finger, making rapid strokes in the air.

The movements were so fast that they could not be captured by the naked eye.

The golden sword and the divine flames both leaned nervously to the side, staring at the symbols that slowly appeared in the air, their eyes flashing.

The drawn symbols are full of mystery, as if they came from ancient times, exuding a kind of magnificent and vast loneliness and vicissitude.

At this moment, Song Wanning was surrounded by a mysterious, hazy light, making her appear like a goddess, inspiring awe and making people dare not touch her in the slightest.

"go--"

With a soft shout, the symbol seemed to come alive and rushed into the fingernail.

Lingzhu also found its way and rushed towards the location of the Dragon Spirit.

Song Wanning opened her eyes and quickly repeated the incantation and mental techniques, faster and faster.

Just as the spirit pearl was about to approach the dragon spirit, a sudden change occurred.

"Boom——"

A deafening roar echoed from the horizon as a bolt of divine lightning tore through the sky, traversing countless obstacles to reach the earth's depths.

The intense power of lightning instantly engulfed Song Wanning, giving her no chance to react.

"puff--"

Song Wanning was knocked to the ground.
