78: Ready to rescue

No one knew of Ye Xianmeng's impotent rage.

Some people, because they have an excellent younger sister, feel incredibly proud and become doting older brothers.

Some people, because they have an excellent younger sister, feel incredibly annoyed and become demon-like in their fear of her.

Man is born to die... *cough* *cough*

Man is born with a younger sister. Born into a Martial Arts World where strength is respected, and into an Imperial Family, this could be the nightmare of many older brothers.

On the Sky Ruins Continent, there are five Empires, hundreds of Imperial Dynasties under their command, and thousands of Kingdoms under the Imperial Dynasties. The rulers of many of these nations are younger sisters.

The most prominent among them is the Heavenly Pool Empire, whose Emperor is a Female Emperor! A younger sister who brought down more than a dozen of her older brothers, making them tremble in fear...

After finding out Emperor Ye's attitude and incidentally learning a major secret about his father, Long Aotian, with a mix of emotions, withdrew his Divine Sense prying into Emperor Ye and the others.

The next problem he had to consider was how to rescue them.

How to rescue?

Long Aotian's brows were tightly furrowed!

The Shi Family was undoubtedly a Dragon's Den and a Tiger's Lair. He had already experienced the terror of a Mahayana Realm expert when he first entered the city, especially since the three Mahayana Realm Clan Gods of the Shi Family were all powerful Cultivators, one of whom had even reached the seventh stage of the Mahayana Realm.

He could not contend with them!

"Rescuing the people isn't the difficult part; the difficulty lies in how to escape the pursuit of those three Mahayana Realm Clan Gods of the Shi Family!"

Is rescuing difficult?

For Long Aotian, it was not difficult!

He was hidden in the Treasure Pagoda, which transformed into a speck of dust. He could drift into the Shi Family with the wind, or attach himself to the Disciples entering and exiting the Shi Family, letting those Disciples carry him in.

Once inside the Shi Family, the three Mahayana Realm Clan Gods would not personally guard the two Old Ancestors of the Long Family. Even if they sent an Ancestor of the Spirit Division Realm to guard them, Long Aotian had the Void Annihilation Array, which was enough to deal with the guards.

Rescuing the people was one thing; the key was how to escape.

Long Aotian's Tai Xu Divine Steps had only just broken through to between the third and fourth stages, allowing him to travel three hundred li in one step.

At this speed, Shi Ruhuo, who was at the third stage of the Mahayana Realm, might not be able to catch him, but Shi Rulin, at the fifth stage of the Mahayana Realm, and Shi Rufeng, at the seventh stage of the Mahayana Realm, could easily catch him.

What should he do to escape the pursuit of Shi Rufeng and Shi Rulin?

Cooperate with Shi Xiaodan?

No!

He was not familiar with Shi Xiaodan, and besides, Shi Xiaodan was only at the Out-of-Body Realm. How could he help him?

If he needed to gather information, he only needed to approach within a five-million-li radius of the Shi Family. With a casual release of his Divine Sense, he could gather all sorts of information about the Shi Family, and what he personally discovered would be more reliable than what Shi Xiaodan told him.

Furthermore, if he sought cooperation with Shi Xiaodan and accidentally exposed him, putting him in danger, Long Aotian would feel uneasy.

He could escape, but Shi Xiaodan might not be able to escape... "Lure the tiger away from its mountain?"

Long Aotian then thought of the strategy of luring the tiger away from its mountain.

He would frantically cause widespread destruction to the Shi Family's businesses in and around the Imperial City, forcing the three Mahayana Realm Clan Gods of the Shi Family to leave, and then rescue the people.

"This method is feasible! However, luring the tiger away can only be for a moment, not forever.

Once Shi Rufeng and Shi Rulin turn back to pursue me, the Eastern Wilderness is only so big. At their speed, they will eventually catch up to me.

At that time, I can use the Treasure Pagoda to escape danger, but the two Old Ancestors might fall into the hands of the Shi Family again."

Long Aotian's brows furrowed into the character ' river' (chuan), meaning 'river'. He would never expose the Nine Treasures Glazed Chaos World Tower, not even to the two Old Ancestors of the Long Family.

Clear wine makes people blush, wealth moves people's hearts.

If he brought the two Old Ancestors into the Treasure Pagoda, and they knew that the Treasure Pagoda was not only a super spatial Magic Treasure that could hold living beings but also a cultivation time cheat, Long Aotian could not guarantee that the two Old Ancestors would not harbor thoughts of killing him to seize his treasure.

He dared not test them, nor did he want to.

Sometimes, things like human hearts should not be tested.

"How can I escape the pursuit of Shi Rufeng and Shi Rulin?"

Long Aotian fell into deep thought.

Just then, a Cultivator passing by him couldn't help but grumble, but it made his eyes light up.

"Damn it!

The Eastern Wilderness Cloud Emperor Cultivation Tower is truly a terrifying gold-swallowing beast. If you don't have a mine at home, you really wouldn't dare to come. One million Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and I only stayed for ten days before they were all gone..."

"Eastern Wilderness Cloud Emperor Cultivation Tower?!"

Long Aotian's eyes lit up. Unbeknownst to him, he had already arrived at a Cultivation Holy Land.

Eastern Wilderness Cloud Emperor Cultivation Tower, how could he have forgotten this place?

Looking at the majestic Treasure Pagoda not far away, Long Aotian's thoughts raced.

The Eastern Wilderness Cloud Emperor Cultivation Tower is located on the Eastern Wilderness's only semi-top-grade Earth Spirit Fire Vein. This semi-top-grade Earth Spirit Fire Vein is now one of the highest quality Cultivation resources in the Eastern Wilderness, controlled by the two major powers of the Eastern Wilderness: the Cloud Palace and the Imperial Family.

Within the Eastern Wilderness Cloud Emperor Cultivation Tower, all private grudges and fights are prohibited. As long as one pays enough Spirit Stones to Cultivate inside, no one dares to disturb the Cultivators in their Cultivation rooms.

Firstly, this is due to the terrifying deterrent power of the two major powers, the Imperial Family and the Cloud Palace.

Secondly, it is also because both the Imperial Family and the Cloud Palace have dispatched three Late Stage Mahayana Realm experts to guard the Tower.

A total of six Late Stage Mahayana Realm Tower Guardian Gods!

Who would dare to cause trouble?

"I can first use the strategy of luring the tiger away from its mountain to draw Shi Rulin and Shi Rufeng away from the Shi Family, then quickly rescue the two Old Ancestors and flee towards the Eastern Wilderness Cloud Emperor Cultivation Tower.

In the Eastern Wilderness Cloud Emperor Cultivation Tower, I will reserve a Cultivation room in advance, booking it for a year or two without a problem. Once I escape there, I will enter the pre-booked Cultivation room and go into secluded Cultivation.

One year here, and nine years will pass in the third spatial world of the Treasure Pagoda.

After nine years, even if my Cultivation strength is still not a match for Shi Rulin and Shi Rufeng, the Void Annihilation Array should have been upgraded to level seven or eight, right?

As long as it reaches level seven, I can barely contend with a Mahayana Realm expert. As long as it reaches level eight, Mahayana Realm experts will have to walk around me. An eighth-level Void Annihilation Array doesn't even need a superimposed array; killing Mahayana Realm experts is like slaughtering dogs!"

Thinking of this, Long Aotian's confidence inexplicably soared.

He would do just that!

This was also the best method he had thought of so far, without exposing the Nine Treasures Glazed Chaos World Tower.

Long Aotian unhesitatingly walked into the Eastern Wilderness Cloud Emperor Cultivation Tower and quickly understood its operating rules.

There are four Ranks of Cultivation rooms: Low Grade, Middle Grade, High Grade, and Special Grade.

A Low-Grade Cultivation room costs one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones per day, a Middle-Grade Cultivation room costs one million Low-Grade Spirit Stones per day, a High-Grade Cultivation room costs ten million Low-Grade Spirit Stones per day, and a Special-Grade Cultivation room costs one hundred million Low-Grade Spirit Stones per day.

It truly is a terrifying gold-swallowing beast, a place where you wouldn't dare to come if you don't have a mine at home!

Among them, there are ten thousand Low-Grade Cultivation rooms, five thousand Middle-Grade Cultivation rooms, one thousand High-Grade Cultivation rooms, and one hundred Special-Grade Cultivation rooms.

Each Cultivation room only allows one person to Cultivate inside, with the exception of Special-Grade Cultivation rooms.

In other words, Long Aotian needed to open three Cultivation rooms!

"In the Cultivation room, I will directly enter the third spatial world of the Treasure Pagoda to Cultivate. The Cultivation room's help to my Cultivation is not significant. What I value is its safety and protective function, so renting a Low-Grade Cultivation room will suffice.

The two Old Ancestors should also use Low-Grade ones, right? There's no need for special treatment, especially since we don't know if they are injured. If they need to heal, opening high-grade Cultivation rooms and not using them for Cultivation would be a waste..."
