The entire Loulan Kingdom operates on the power provided by the Dragon's Pulse. No matter what An Lushan wants to do, as long as his connection to the Dragon's Pulse is severed, everything will become simple.
"We're with you."
Uchiha Yuzuru pulled Salai up from the ground and said to Salai and Yazi, "You two wait here. If we find your family, we'll rescue them."
Salai also spoke, "I guarantee it in the name of the Queen."
"We understand." Salai, Yazi, and the others bowed to Salai and Uchiha Yuzuru, then ran to a dark corner to hide.
Salai closed her eyes and felt the flow of the Dragon's Pulse, then said, "Follow me."
Uchiha Yuzuru, Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Shisui, and Kakashi Hatake followed Salai to a place that looked like a sewer.
"It should be down here."
After observing closely, Uchiha Yuzuru picked Salai up in his arms, "Hold tight, I'll take you down."
Salai had become somewhat immune to being picked up by Uchiha Yuzuru at every turn, so she just nodded and didn't say much.
Immediately after, the three of them jumped down into the underground.
Uchiha Obito looked around and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! It's so big here, it's just like a giant factory."
Kakashi Hatake, however, looked at the dense mist in the air, his eyes surprised, "Such dense energy, is this the power of the Dragon's Pulse?"
Uchiha Yuzuru gently set Salai down. Beside him, Uchiha Shisui suddenly said in a deep voice, "Everyone, look!"
Following the direction of Uchiha Shisui's finger, Salai's pupils contracted.
In the center of the factory, there was a device like a giant millstone. Hundreds of Loulan citizens, bare-chested, were continuously pushing it in circles.
Puppet parts were gradually taking shape on the conveyor belt.
Most of them were young adults, their expressions numb, their hands and feet shackled.
To the side, dozens of Puppets holding weapons were supervising them.
"Damn it! An Lushan, that bastard…"
Seeing this scene with her own eyes, the anger in Salai's heart could no longer be suppressed.
She ran forward, closed her eyes, and began to suppress the power of the Dragon's Pulse.
Before long, the factory stopped operating.
Salai turned back to Uchiha Yuzuru and the others, smiling, "Alright, I've now cut off the source of the Dragon's Pulse in the factory."
"Please help me unchain my people, I beg you!"
The innocent and cheerful Obito had long been impatient. He, along with Uchiha Shisui and Kakashi Hatake, rushed out.
With a series of "clanging" sounds, all the chains on the Loulan citizens were cut.
"I am Salai, the new Loulan Queen. Your families are waiting for you outside. You are now free."
Upon hearing Salai's words, the crowd was stunned for a moment, then they all knelt down in unison, "Thank you, Your Majesty Salai!"
"Alright, hurry and leave this place."
At Salai's urging, hundreds of Loulan citizens immediately swarmed out.
Before long, the underground factory became empty.
"I can feel that the source of the Dragon's Pulse is on an even lower level. Let's go down quickly."
Just as Salai was about to completely Seal the power of the Dragon's Pulse, an unexpected change occurred.
The Puppets in the factory began to gather continuously, quickly surrounding them.
A man with a full beard also slowly descended in an elevator.
"Salai, so you're not dead."
Seeing the man, Salai angrily questioned, "An Lushan, what exactly do you want to do?"
An Lushan snorted lightly and said indifferently, "I want to use the power of the Dragon's Pulse to unify the entire Ninja World ahead of schedule."
"My Transmigration here, everything is fate's arrangement."
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Obito loudly questioned, "You fellow, did you kill the Queen of the Loulan Kingdom?"
An Lushan shrugged noncommittally, "Originally, she could have pretended not to know anything, but unfortunately, she insisted on opposing me."
"She had no idea what a terrifying fellow would appear in the future Ninja World!"
Salai clenched her fists tightly, enunciating each word, "An Lushan, you killed my mother?!"
An Lushan nodded, "That's right, but unfortunately you found out too late. Now you too will die by my hand."
After years of painstaking planning, his arrangements for the Dragon's Pulse were all complete.
Even without the Bloodline of the Loulan Queen, the Dragon's Pulse could still operate on its own according to the previously set parameters.
Salai… no longer had any reason to exist.
However, when An Lushan inadvertently saw Uchiha Yuzuru, his originally confident face immediately showed a look of horror.
"You, you, you, you are…"
"Uchiha Yuzuru?!"
Uchiha Yuzuru raised an eyebrow, "You know me?"
After receiving an affirmative reply, An Lushan couldn't help but take a few steps back, then a fierce look appeared in his eyes.
"Now that I possess the Dragon's Pulse, I am not afraid of you!"
After An Lushan finished speaking, the power of the Dragon's Pulse began to riot, and the surrounding Puppets immediately launched an attack on Uchiha Yuzuru and the others.
Purple energy cannons were continuously fired, instantly blowing the factory into ruins.
"It's up to you guys to perform."
Uchiha Yuzuru picked up Salai and directly jumped onto the high platform.
Uchiha Obito put on his goggles and confidently said, "Let this great me teach you a good lesson."
Uchiha Shisui also took out his short sword, "The world must operate according to Clan Head Ketsuna's will. I will use my power to change your extreme ideas."
Kakashi Hatake said nothing, merely picked up his short sword and charged forward.
Soon, the three of them were fighting the Puppet army.
Thanks to their previous experience, Uchiha Obito and the other two did not choose to clash head-on, but while dodging the Puppet attacks, they continuously cut the control lines connected to the Puppets.
"It's useless. As long as the Dragon's Pulse doesn't dry up, my power is infinite!"
An Lushan's wild laughter rang out, and the Puppets whose control lines had been cut rejoined the battle.
Salai looked at Uchiha Yuzuru, who was sitting quietly to the side, and anxiously said, "Yuzuru, aren't you going to help? I can also take this opportunity to cut off the Dragon's Pulse's connection with An Lushan."
Uchiha Yuzuru shook his head, "They can handle these situations for now. Let them train a bit."
Upon hearing this, Salai felt somewhat helpless.
How unconcerned was this guy in front of her?
An Lushan now controlled the power of the Dragon's Pulse!
Seemingly noticing Salai's worry, Uchiha Yuzuru comforted her, "Salai, with me here, An Lushan is nothing to worry about… even if he now possesses the power of the Dragon's Pulse."
After speaking, Uchiha Yuzuru pointed to himself with his thumb, "Because I am Uchiha, who has mastered the power of a God!"
Seeing Uchiha Yuzuru's confident demeanor, Salai was momentarily at a loss for words.
An Lushan had indeed seemed afraid when he saw Uchiha Yuzuru just now.
Could it be that this man truly possessed power capable of countering the Dragon's Pulse?!
