The men in black in front of me didn't even have a decent weapon; they didn't look like assassins at all.
Kakashi Hatake took two steps forward and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you people?"
The men in black exchanged a glance, then silently removed their masks. The two leading men said somewhat nervously, "My name is Salai, and her name is Yako."
"We are all people of Loulan."
Upon hearing this, Sarah couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you come to me?"
Salai replied, “Our family was all taken away one morning and we heard that they were imprisoned somewhere to produce puppets.”
"We originally thought we could get information from you, but we didn't expect that you are just a puppet princess, just like everyone said, and you don't know anything."
No wonder everyone dislikes you.
“Salai!” Masako stopped Salai and said to Sara, “Lady Sara, my apologies.”
Sarah didn't care, but pressed on, "I have never given such an order, nor am I some kind of puppet princess."
“You say nobody likes me? Well then, listen to what’s going on,” Sarah retorted, pointing outside. “My people are cheering for me!”
Upon hearing this, Masako sighed: "Lady Sara, please come with me."
Masako and the others walked outside, and Sara thought for a moment before silently following behind them.
Obito Uchiha and the others exchanged glances and followed after them.
Soon, the group arrived outside the tower.
Sarah pointed to the cheering crowd ahead and said in a deep voice, "Look, aren't my people cheering for me?"
Before Masako could speak, Uchiha Shisui ran forward and slashed a few times in mid-air with a kunai.
The next second, several "people" suddenly fell to the ground.
Uchiha Shisui dragged one of them over and looked at Sara: "Queen Sara, these are all puppets."
"They are all controlled by chakra flowing through the pipes."
Sarah covered her mouth in disbelief: "The power flowing in the pipes is the power of the dragon vein, how could this be..."
Just then, the music suddenly became more rousing.
Fireworks and cannons continued to explode in the sky, and the cheers from the crowd grew even louder.
Sarah and the others looked up and saw a puppet dressed exactly like Sarah emerge from the tower, waving to the crowd.
Seeing this, Salai asked Sara, "Lady Sara, do you believe me now?"
The facts were undeniable, and Sarah had no way to refute them further.
She felt as if all her strength had left her body, and collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Memories related to An Lushan kept surfacing in my mind.
When she was young, An Lushan came to Loulan.
Thanks to An Lushan's efforts, Loulan made full use of the power of the dragon vein, and the people lived a happy life.
Towering structures rose from the ground, becoming a miracle in the desert.
After his mother died, An Lushan took care of her, and Loulan continued to develop in a better direction.
But now...
What the hell is going on?
“Crying won’t solve anything; An Lushan’s ambition is now crystal clear.”
"Even for the sake of your people, you should pull yourself together."
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru's outstretched hand, Sara paused for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "I understand, let's go find the source of the Dragon Vein now!"
Chapter 88 The truth of everything
The Loulan Kingdom was powered entirely by the dragon vein. No matter what An Lushan wanted to do, as long as he cut off his connection with the dragon vein, everything would become much simpler.
"We're with you."
Uchiha Yuzuru pulled Sara up from the ground and said to Sara and Masako, "You two wait here. If we find your family members, we will rescue them."
Sarah chimed in, "I assure you in the name of the Queen."
"We understand." Sara, Masako, and the others bowed to Sara and Uchiha Yuzuru, then ran to hide in a dark corner.
Sarah closed her eyes and sensed the flow of the dragon vein before saying, "Follow me."
Uchiha Yuzuru, Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Shisui, and Hatake Kakashi followed Sara to a place that looked like a sewer.
"It should be right below here."
After getting closer and taking a look, Uchiha Yuzuru hugged Sara in his arms: "Hold on tight, I'll take you down."
Sara had become somewhat immune to being picked up by Uchiha Yuzuru at the drop of a hat, so she simply nodded and didn't say anything more.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them jumped down to the ground.
Obito Uchiha looked around and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! This place is huge! It's like a giant factory!"
Kakashi Hatake stared at the thick fog in the air with a surprised look: "Such dense energy, is this the power of the Dragon Vein?"
Uchiha Yuzuru gently put Sara down, and Uchiha Shisui, who was standing next to her, suddenly said in a deep voice, "Everyone, look!"
Sara's pupils contracted as she looked in the direction Uchiha Shisui was pointing.
In the center of the factory, there is a device that looks like a giant millstone, and hundreds of Loulan people are pushing it around in circles, shirtless.
One by one, the puppet parts gradually took shape on the conveyor belt.
Most of them were young adults with blank expressions, their hands and feet chained.
Nearby, dozens of armed puppets were overseeing the work.
"Damn it! That bastard An Lushan..."
Witnessing this scene firsthand, Sarah could no longer contain her anger.
She ran forward, closed her eyes, and began to suppress the power of the dragon vein.
Before long, the factory stopped operating.
Sara turned to Uchiha Yuzuru and the others and smiled, "Alright, now I've cut off the source of the dragon vein in the factory."
"Please, please help me untie my people from their chains! I beg you!"
The naive and carefree Tu Zi couldn't wait any longer, and he rushed out with Uchiha Shisui and Hatake Kakashi.
With a series of clanging sounds, all the chains binding the Loulan people were cut.
“I am Sarah, the new Queen of Loulan. Your family is waiting for you outside. Now you are free.”
Upon hearing Sarah's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, then knelt down in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty Sarah!"
"Alright, you guys should get out of here now."
Urged on by Sara, hundreds of Loulan citizens immediately flocked to the scene.
Before long, the underground factory became completely empty.
"I can sense that the source of the dragon vein is on an even lower level. Let's hurry down."
Just as Sara was preparing to completely seal the power of the dragon vein, an unexpected event occurred.
The puppets inside the factory began to gather and soon surrounded them.
A man with a full beard also rode the elevator down slowly.
"Sarah, so you're not dead after all."
Upon seeing the man, Sarah angrily demanded, "An Lushan, what exactly do you want to do?"
An Lushan snorted lightly and said calmly, "I want to use the power of the Dragon Vein to unify the entire ninja world ahead of schedule."
"My ability to travel here is all due to fate."
Upon hearing this, Obito Uchiha loudly questioned, "You bastard, did you kill the Queen of Loulan?"
An Lushan shrugged noncommittally: "She could have pretended not to know anything, but unfortunately she insisted on going against me."
"She has no idea what a terrifying person will emerge in the ninja world in the future!"
Sarah clenched her fists tightly and said, word by word, "An Lushan, did you kill my mother?!"
An Lushan nodded: "That's right, but it's a pity you found out too late. Now you're going to die by my hand too."
After years of painstaking efforts, he has completed the layout of the dragon vein.
Even without the bloodline of the Loulan Queen, the dragon vein can still operate on its own as previously set.
Sarah... has no reason to exist anymore.
However, when An Lushan accidentally saw Uchiha Yuzuru, his previously confident expression immediately turned to one of terror.
"You, you, you, you are..."
"Uchiha Yuzuru?!"
Uchiha Yuzuru raised an eyebrow: "You know me?"
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, An Lushan couldn't help but take a few steps back, a fierce look then appearing in his eyes.
"Now that I possess the dragon vein, I'm not afraid of you anymore!"
After An Lushan finished speaking, the power of the dragon vein began to surge, and the surrounding puppets immediately launched an attack on Uchiha Yuzuru and the others.
The purple energy cannons fired continuously, turning the factory into ruins in the blink of an eye.
"It depends on how you guys perform."
Uchiha Yuzuru picked up Sara and jumped directly onto the high platform.
Obito Uchiha put on his goggles and said confidently, "Let me teach you a lesson."
Uchiha Shisui also drew his short sword: "The world must operate according to the will of Clan Chief Yuzuru. I will use my power to change your extreme ideas."
Kakashi Hatake remained silent, simply picking up his short sword and charging forward.
Soon, the three of them were engaged in battle with the puppet army.
Thanks to their previous experience, Obito and his two companions did not choose to confront the puppet head-on. Instead, while dodging the puppet's attacks, they began to continuously sever the control lines connecting the puppet to its body.
"It's useless. As long as the dragon vein doesn't dry up, my power is inexhaustible!"
An Lushan's arrogant laughter rang out, and the puppets whose control lines had been severed joined the battle once again.
Sara looked at Uchiha Yuzuru, who was sitting quietly to the side, and said anxiously, "Yuzuru, aren't you going to help? I can take this opportunity to sever the connection between the Dragon Vein and An Lushan."
Uchiha Yuzuru shook his head: "They can handle these situations now, so let them get some experience."
Upon hearing this, Sarah felt somewhat helpless.
Just how carefree is this guy?
An Lushan now controls the power of the dragon vein!
Seemingly sensing Sara's worries, Uchiha Yuzuru comforted her, "Sara, with me here, An Lushan is nothing to worry about... even if he now possesses the power of the Dragon Vein."
After saying that, Uchiha Yuzuru pointed to himself with his thumb: "Because of me! I'm the Uchiha who has mastered the power of the gods!"
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru's confident demeanor, Sara was momentarily at a loss for words.
An Lushan seemed genuinely afraid when he saw Uchiha Yuzuru.
Could it be that this man truly possesses power sufficient to contend with the dragon vein?!
Chapter 89 The Power of Space-Time is Just That Domineering
Since Uchiha Yuzuru didn't go to help, Sara could only stay by his side and silently watch the battlefield below.
At this moment, Obito Uchiha, Kakashi Hatake, and Shisui Uchiha were surrounded by puppet soldiers.
Unlike battles between ninjas, those puppet soldiers possessed the power of the dragon vein, allowing them to instantly regenerate even if shattered.
They felt no fear, no emotion; they simply brandished their blades, unleashing a barrage of energy blasts.
