Chapter 131 is at full speed.
Looking back on today's events, Shiba Kiyokawa really has to thank Sasuke and his group.
If it weren't for their deep-seated obsession with maintaining the course of history, which frightened the Loulan Queen first, Shiba Kiyokawa might not have had the chance to take over this city-state so easily.
After all, with the villains from the theatrical version long gone, Loulan doesn't really have any external enemies.
But Sasuke and his friends were too principled; they insisted on sealing the dragon veins and preserving history.
Coupled with a well-timed display of force, it effectively helped them play the role of "external enemy".
Having been frightened by them, the Queen of Loulan now has no choice but to submit to Shiba Kiyokawa to protect herself.
To this, Shiba Kiyokawa really wanted to say, "Thank you!"
The next moment, the Queen of Loulan let go of her worries, sighed softly, and completely accepted her fate.
Then, at Shiba Kiyokawa's request, he went up to the altar, preparing to demonstrate the use of the dragon vein to the future benefactor of Loulan.
"Please, look at me carefully."
After saying this, the queen raised her hand on the altar and began to invoke the power of the dragon vein.
But the next moment, something unexpected happened!
The orange-red dragon vein energy rose from the altar, but instead of embracing the queen, it joyfully and proactively plunged into Shiba Kiyokawa's body.
At that moment, everyone present was stunned!
The Queen was also stunned, thinking to herself, "Dragon Vein, you with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, how come you surrendered even more readily than I did?"
Shiba Kiyokawa was also slightly taken aback. Meeting Konan and Nagato's admiring and surprised gazes, he innocently spread his hands slightly.
He really didn't do anything wrong.
Moreover, he didn't need to use such methods to steal the dragon vein; with his wisdom and skill alone, he could make Loulan submit.
Originally, there were only two people in the world who could control the dragon vein: the current Queen of Loulan and her daughter Sarah.
Therefore, Shiba Kiyokawa had already planned it out: as long as one of the two people was taken back to the Land of Rain as a hostage, and then the two were exchanged regularly, the other person would not be allowed to stay in Loulan for a long time and establish a separatist regime. In this way, the city-state would not be able to escape his control.
Once transportation routes are completed and industrial centers are established, the Land of Rain will be even less likely to cause chaos here.
Therefore, he actually had no need to resort to tricks to steal the dragon vein.
He is actually better at controlling the people here than directly controlling the power here.
But now, an unexpected event has occurred.
For some reason, the dragon vein chose him.
Even within this orange-red energy, Shiba Kiyokawa sensed a feeling of filial piety and closeness constantly being transmitted to him.
It's like a baby who hasn't learned to speak yet, babbling and reaching out for a hug, showing a strong attachment.
Why is this happening?
He didn't quite understand either.
However, the good news is that, thanks to the affinity and closeness of the dragon vein, he suddenly gained greater control over the dragon vein than Queen Loulan and Princess Sara!
He even felt that he had the right to completely deprive the mother and daughter in front of him of their right to use the dragon vein in an instant!
The access control dog was actually myself!
This feeling is truly wonderful and unexpected.
However, there was a regrettable aspect: after personally experiencing the highest level of control over the dragon vein, Shiba Kiyokawa confirmed once again that this energy could not be taken out of Loulan.
This is a magical ley line phenomenon that only works in specific areas; it becomes ineffective once you leave the area.
Therefore, the idea that had once flashed through my mind—to seal the dragon vein inside my body like a tailed beast and take it away—was once again abandoned.
Because it's really impossible.
However, this could be considered as leaving Shiba Kiyokawa a way out—
"If I ever can't beat Madara or Black Zetsu in the future, I'll hide in Loulan. Here, I'll be the embodiment of invincibility!"
He tried to find a bit of humor in his suffering.
Seeing the dragon vein energy continuously converging towards Zhibo Qinghe, the Loulan Queen once again lowered her head deeply.
If she had already mentally prepared herself to submit before, now she had even mentally prepared herself to dedicate herself to the cause.
The survival of Loulan now rests entirely on the other side's decision.
After feeling the surge of power for a while, Shiba Kiyokawa immediately sensed some anxiety and pain emanating from the dragon vein.
He immediately composed himself and began to communicate with him.
They immediately witnessed the fierce battle taking place underground.
At this very moment, in the place closest to the dragon vein's energy, Sasuke and his group are engaged in a fierce battle with Urashiki Otsutsuki!
Compared to his previous battles with Shiba Kiyokawa and the others, Sasuke has now readjusted his mindset and strength back to their peak!
The battle with Urashiki was incredibly fierce!
During this time, Pu Shi kept casting his fishing rod, seemingly trying to catch the surrounding dragon vein energy.
This is also the reason why painful emotions constantly emanate from the dragon vein.
However, judging from the results, Urashi didn't catch much energy. The feedback from the dragon vein was more like: This bastard hurt me a lot!
However, because the will within the dragon vein is still as innocent as a baby, even this kind of pain is very difficult for it.
If left unchecked, the dragon vein might go berserk again before long.
And that might be exactly why Urashiki Otsutsuki keeps swinging his club!
He was having trouble dealing with Sasuke and the others, so he decided to blow up the Dragon Vein and completely overturn the table!
Unfortunately, the idea was effective, but it was thwarted by the encounter with Shiba Kiyokawa and the unexpected incident at the altar.
At this moment, when Shiba Kiyokawa unexpectedly gained supreme control of the dragon vein and the authority to communicate with its consciousness, he quickly took action to appease the little dragon vein that was about to throw a tantrum.
He then said to Nagato beside him, "Have the Heavenly Dao intervene to help those people and stop that Otsutsuki's actions!"
The Way of Heaven has always remained underground.
Previously, Nagato had followed Shiba Kiyokawa's orders and had not allowed Pain to participate in the battle. He had only instructed Pain to take Tama and retreat far away so that he could focus on the live broadcast.
Hearing that the plan had changed, Nagato hurriedly asked, "Are we going down to join the battle?"
After thinking for a moment, Shiba Kiyokawa said, "We have to go there sooner or later. Loulan is already our territory, and we can't allow outsiders to run wild."
However, we can wait a little longer; those Konoha ninjas can hold out for a while longer.
He's not some great philanthropist; there's no need for him to intervene and help those in need.
In comparison, it would be most advantageous for him if Urashiki and Sasuke were both severely injured.
At that moment, Ye Cang suddenly interrupted, asking, "What are you all talking about? Qinghe, did you see something using the dragon vein? And who is this Otsutsuki you're talking about?"
Yekura is still completely unaware of the situation.
Shiba Kiyokawa smiled slightly and said gently, "It's nothing. I just discovered that those Konoha ninjas are fighting an unknown enemy called Otsutsuki."
Don't worry, we'll help you drive away those Konoha ninjas, and we'll also help you deal with that Sunagakure traitor! Trust me.
Ye Cang stared at him with a suspicious look.
"I always feel like you're hiding a lot from me."
It's rare to see this beautiful Fengying act so cleverly.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
"How could that be? Lord Kazekage is injured, so please stay and help look after the Queen and Princess. Leave the fighting to us."
Ye Cang became increasingly wary. "Wait! No! You're definitely hiding something from me!"
Let me join the fight! I want to personally capture that traitor who betrayed the village!
But the next moment, Shiba Kiyokawa, who had already obtained the highest authority over the Dragon Vein, pointed with one hand.
The orange-red energy instantly froze Ye Cang in place, rendering him unable to move!
At that moment, the Queen of Loulan couldn't help but sigh inwardly and cast a pitying look at Ye Cang.
Lord Kazekage, stop struggling. Since resistance is useless, why not just accept your fate and enjoy it? Isn't that fine?
You are clearly no match for Lord Qinghe.
At this moment, the Loulan Queen's "corruption" progress has clearly reached its maximum.
