Chapter 701 Heaven Mending Crystal
The punch thrown by the man named Jiang carried an unstoppable momentum, clearly showing his absolute confidence.
“So strong!”
His companions exclaimed in admiration.
“Crackle!”
Jiang’s massive fist slammed onto the seemingly thin shield, followed by a crisp sound.
“The shield broke? Martial Venerable Jiang is truly mighty and imposing!”
Those on their side marveled.
“The shield didn’t break, his hand did.”
Martial Venerable Jiang slowly turned his head, only to see his thick wrist completely deformed, his features contorted in pain.
“Pfft!”
Qi Huang couldn’t help but burst into laughter. She had already expected this outcome. The spiritual sense shield was at least at the early Heavenly Punishment Realm, while Jiang, at most a peak Shentong Realm cultivator, had no way of breaking it.
“Haha, your face is indeed thick. This Body Protection Talisman was personally infused by our Immortal Alliance’s Alliance Leader Cao. The strength of the Spiritual Sense Shield within has reached the early Heavenly Punishment Realm. How dare a mere Legend Realm warrior like you boast?”
Elder Kang outside laughed with satisfaction. Knowing he’d be held accountable for fleeing earlier, he couldn’t wait to see Jiang, the instigator, embarrassed.
“Nonsense!”
Elder Zheng chided him, then looked at Jiang Wu Zun, “This is not a Heavenly Punishment Realm shield at all. It’s clearly only Shentong Realm. Why don’t you try smashing it a few more times? Perhaps it will break then?”
“Ah, yes, yes, yes, it’s indeed just a Shentong Realm shield. Go ahead and get your companions to smash it together; there’s a good chance it will break.”
Elder Kang quickly reacted and tried to salvage the situation.
“You two wicked old men are scheming to deplete my strength? Daydreaming!”
Martial Venerable Jiang gritted his teeth and said, clutching his broken hand.
Yes, everyone, don’t fall for their trap. They want to deplete our strength and then capture us all.
Jin Xue’s Father Emperor quickly reminded them.
Your Majesty is absolutely right. Although this shield is strong, it will gradually weaken over time, and we will eventually break through.
National Preceptor Yang agreed.
Furthermore, they have been poisoned with Xieqisan, and their True Qi will only decrease. Time is on our side.
Tang Yuning’s Father Emperor also analyzed.
But what about my daughter? Her injuries can no longer be delayed.
The Emperor of Xuanwu Kingdom spoke with agitation. He was Zhao Xi’er’s father, Zhao.
Zhao Xi’er remained unconscious. Her arm had been severed, and due to the Immortal Alliance’s inaction, she had a high fever and her condition was critical.
Brother Zhao, don’t worry. National Preceptor Yang is not only a cultivator but also skilled in medicine. With him here, your daughter will not die.
Jin Xue’s Father Emperor comforted him.
National Preceptor Yang also considerately walked towards Zhao Xi’er’s carriage to examine her injuries.
No, we must leave immediately.
Zhao Xi’er’s Father Emperor seemed a bit unappreciative.
Why?
Jin Xue’s Father asked, and the surrounding people also turned their gaze towards him.
Zhao Xi’er’s father struggled for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up: “Have you forgotten that the Immortal Alliance also has two Heavenly Punishment Realm leaders? It only takes them a few hours to get here.”
You are Emperor Zhao Ming of Xuanwu Kingdom, right? Not entirely foolish!
Zheng Chi said sarcastically.
What do we do? If the Immortal Alliance’s main and deputy leaders arrive, we’re doomed! They will never allow us to leak all of this.
We have hundreds of people here, and the emperors of four countries. Would they really dare to kill us?
If they eliminate all witnesses, who will know about this matter?
Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions shifted slightly, and they began to feel restless.
But we have no way to get out immediately. If Brother Zhao has a way to get out, we would be overjoyed.
Jin Xue’s Father Emperor showed a glimmer of hope.
Zhao Ming began to ponder deeply, but his struggling expression indicated that he was making a futile effort.
Seeing this, the women from HongHua Sect giggled and walked up to Tang Yuning, beginning to mock her.
Oh my! Isn’t this Princess? Didn’t you want to go back and enjoy a life of leisure? Why are you still here?
Ruan Lingyu taunted.
Yes, do you not want to, or are you unable to?
Yun Fei chimed in with teasing.
Judging by your expression, you probably can’t, right? Does this mean my junior sister won the bet with you?
Shen Yuan questioned.
Don’t get cocky. We’re all trapped inside this shield now. The Immortal Alliance’s swords and sabers have no eyes; be careful not to be caught in the crossfire.
Tang Yuning retorted, unable to stand it any longer.
The Immortal Alliance still needs us bait to find the Golden Life Flower Seeds, so how could they possibly harm us?
Ruan Lingyu retorted.
Yes, but your fathers and the others are less fortunate. They have no value, and once the Immortal Alliance’s main and deputy leaders arrive, they will be in grave danger.
Yun Fei sighed regretfully.
Tang Yuning’s expression grew increasingly grim, and she no longer had the confidence to argue.
Seeing the arrogant princess bow her head, Ruan Lingyu and the other women looked relieved.
Qi Huang, however, did not focus on these trivial matters. She had been secretly observing the elders of the Immortal Alliance, and as time passed, her doubts grew. Logically, these people should have immediately notified the Immortal Alliance for reinforcements, but why was there no movement?
“Everyone, there’s no need to be too alarmed. Even if those two leaders arrive, it will take several hours. By then, this shield will have weakened considerably, and we will definitely be able to get out.”
Jin Xue’s Father Emperor stepped forward to reassure them.
“A joke. You are Emperor Jin Ze of the Tai Ping Kingdom, aren’t you? How could a Heavenly Punishment Realm Spiritual Sense Shield weaken so quickly? Moreover, even if its strength is reduced by ninety percent, it’s still not something that ants like you can break.”
Zheng Chi immediately retorted.
The trapped people turned pale as they heard this, because they could tell whose words were more credible.
At this moment, Zhao Ming from the side walked into the carriage with a bowl of water and then took out a string of priceless jewelry and handed it to National Preceptor Yang.
What is Your Majesty doing?
The National Preceptor Yang, who was treating Zhao Xi’er, asked in confusion.
National Preceptor Yang, could you please move me and Xi’er into a storage ring?
Zhao Ming made his request.
What does Your Majesty want to do? Princess is in critical condition and needs immediate treatment.
National Preceptor Yang’s confusion deepened.
I implore National Preceptor Yang not to ask further questions. Please.
Zhao Ming bowed with his hands clasped.
Your Majesty flatters this humble minister.
National Preceptor Yang repeatedly bowed and then said, “If that is the case, then this humble minister will obey your decree.”
Then I shall trouble National Preceptor Yang.
Zhao Ming thanked him courteously.
National Preceptor Yang kept his promise and immediately moved Zhao Ming and his daughter into the storage ring.
What is this guy trying to do?
What is this brat trying to do?
Qi Huang also noticed this, and a strong curiosity arose within her. She then zoomed in the lens of the Recording Mirror on the storage ring. Due to its translucent function, the situation inside was immediately displayed before her eyes.
Inside, Zhao Ming took out a talisman, and he and his daughter were immediately shielded by a spiritual sense shield. Of course, this did not hinder the Recording Mirror in any way.
The National Preceptor Yang outside tried to investigate but was met with a rebuff, only able to reluctantly withdraw his spiritual sense.
Inside the storage ring, Zhao Ming reached out, unfastened the sachet at his waist, and then unstitched it, pouring out all the spices inside.
Zhao Ming then searched through the spices and soon picked up a small cloth bag about the size of his thumb.
Zhao Ming then untied the cloth bag, and inside was a small, transparent crystal, emitting a faint multicolored glow all over its body.
As the crystal appeared, Qi Huang suddenly felt an itch and then a burning sensation at her right cheek where the blood tear was, as if it were on fire.
What’s going on?
Qi Huang touched it in confusion but found nothing unusual. She wondered if she was hallucinating.
Qi Huang looked at the crystal again, her curiosity growing: “What is this thing?”
Zhao Ming did not hesitate. He picked up the crystal and was about to throw it into a nearby bowl filled with water.
But at that moment, a change occurred. The sachet at Zhao Xi’er’s waist suddenly exploded, and a storage ring flew out. Then, several tall figures leaped out from within.
Zhao Ming was startled and retreated backward.
Hehe, the Heaven Mending Crystal is indeed in your hands.
The tall old man leading them had a mocking expression on his face.
Qi Huang was stunned because she recognized the old man. He was the Deputy Alliance Leader of the Immortal Alliance, Cao Hong, also Cao Yang’s great-grandfather.
