Chapter 1378: Chapter 0783 A failed attempt to steal a chicken_2 Chapter 1378: Chapter 0783 A failed attempt to steal a chicken_2 When Emperor Tian Rui had first entered the Imperial Family Secret Territory, he had rely sent a card to his Jianwu Palace and didn’t visit him in person. Moreover, at that ti, he was hiding in a small space, evading the Heavenly Tribulation and barely surviving. Even if Emperor Tian Rui had co, he wouldn’t have been able to et with him.
Emperor Jianwu gave an awkward smile and hastily followed behind Qi Tian, rushing toward the Yin-Yang Convergence Land.
The speed of both was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, they reached the front of a valley. In the valley, an array was in operation, with runes circulating in the air, golden with strands of black light, slowing down and seemingly about to co to a halt.
Within the array, four people were seated, one in the center with the other three forming a triangle around him. To Qi Tian’s surprise, the person at the center, who also had an imposing aura, wasn’t wearing the imperial robe but instead a Daoist robe. The person wearing the imperial robe was seated at one corner of the triangle, and at this mont, his vital energy was extrely weak, even weaker than that of Mansion Master Xiao Xiaowu, who was seated at another corner of the triangle.
Though Qi Tian was a subject of the Great Zhao Nation and had completed most of his cultivation there, he had never t Emperor Tian Rui or the Masters of the National Master Manor and Guardian National Master Manor, Yu Ting and Wu Tie. With three out of the four people being strangers to him, he naturally couldn’t tell who was who based on the fluctuations of their spirit force.
But Qi Tian was now certain that this array, painstakingly arranged by Emperor Tian Rui, not only failed to benefit the emperor but actually hard him. The one who truly benefited from the array was the person in the center wearing the Daoist robe. He was either Yu Ting or Wu Tie, but definitely had nothing to do with the Imperial Master Mansion.
Emperor Jianwu also noticed the situation in the valley and said, “Master Qi, should I make a move? Just tell which one is Master Xiao, and I’ll go rescue him right away.”
Qi Tian replied, “No need for you to take action, just flank the array.”
Without waiting for Emperor Jianwu’s agreent, Qi Tian waved his hand, and the colored glaze sand sprang into action, rushing toward the valley at the fastest speed.
The operation of the array was nearing its end and could stop at any mont; if it stopped, Xiao Xiaowu would truly be beyond rescue. The first thing Qi Tian had the colored glaze sand do was to ensure the array didn’t stop.
Qi Tian himself could be considered a grandmaster of formation arrays, but that didn’t an he understood all arrays, especially one as nefarious as the one in front of his eyes. Qi Tian had no choice but to command the colored glaze sand to restrain the person in the center of the array in the crudest and simplest way, preventing any movent and requiring him to maintain the array functioning, even though this could potentially drain the last bit of magic from Master Xiao Xiaowu’s body. But it was necessary to prevent the array from being shut down.
The speed of the colored glaze sand was incredibly fast, almost in the blink of an eye, it reached the outside of the array. It didn’t enter the array but instead shot out a pellet of yellow sand with the sharpness of the Nascent Soul Stage, which, with even greater speed, pierced into the array and landed on the head of the person seated at its center.
This small grain of yellow sand, though only the size of a grain of rice, was as heavy as a thousand catties, pressing down on the individual’s head, imdiately making them feel as if Mount Tai were bearing down upon them. Their body couldn’t move at all, and even trying to mobilize their magic power was extrely difficult, impossible to accomplish. The crushing force of the yellow sand was all-encompassing, leaving no opportunity for resistance. This was an overwhelming of cultivation realms, as well as sheer power, leaving no possibility of breaking free.
Qi Tian rushed over and, when he arrived in front of the array, he could clearly see that Mansion Master Xiao Xiaowu looked like a completely different person, withered and gaunt as if his skin was just covering his bones. His hair lacked any luster, his face was full of wrinkles, covered in age spots, and his breath was extrely faint, as if a breath from Qi Tian could take his life.
Qi Tian sighed. Mansion Master Xiao Xiaowu had always been truly loyal to Great Zhao Nation and to Emperor Tian Rui. Even when Emperor Tian Rui, along with the other two Mansion Masters, continuously targeted and suppressed the Imperial Master Mansion, Xiao Xiaowu had never thought of betraying Great Zhao Nation. Xiao Xiaowu didn’t necessarily have to raise an army in rebellion within Great Zhao Nation nor support a Vassal King’s revolt. With Xiao Xiaowu’s Gold Core Realm cultivation, he could easily leave Great Zhao Nation and find a place that welcod him to establish a new Imperial Master Mansion. Yet Mansion Master Xiao Xiaowu chose to stay steadfastly in Great Zhao Nation, only to et today’s end, an outco that was a great irony for Master Xiao. This was probably the true depiction of the saying that good people don’t live long, while the wicked live on for a thousand years.
The life force within Xiao Xiaowu was barely perceptible. Qi Tian didn’t hesitate any longer. He didn’t imdiately drag Xiao Xiaowu out of the array since that would certainly waste a bit of ti, and just that little bit of ti could potentially cost Xiao Xiaowu his life. Qi Tian flicked his wrist and a droplet of Spirit Liquid appeared in his hand. He had found this in the Saint’s Tomb, and it contained extrely pure Spirit Qi, perfect for restoring Xiao Xiaowu’s magic power and his life force.
Qi Tian directly flicked the Spirit Liquid out. He knew that Xiao Xiaowu no longer had the strength to open his mouth to swallow the droplet of Spirit Liquid, so he aid it at Xiao Xiaowu’s exposed skin, employing a little trick with the Spirit Liquid as he did so.
When the Spirit Liquid touched Xiao Xiaowu’s skin, it imdiately penetrated his body, found his ridians, and went straight in.
While this thod could rapidly replenish Xiao Xiaowu’s severely depleted body, it did damage his ridians to so extent as Spirit Liquid, being a form of fluid, wasn’t suited for direct entry into the ridians. But under the circumstances, there was no other quicker option.
Once the Spirit Liquid entered Xiao Xiaowu’s ridians, it quickly nourished them, and the effect was imdiate. The life force in his body strengthened in the blink of an eye. Although it was still rather faint, at least it wasn’t so weak that a gust of wind could carry away what little life force he had left.
Only then did Qi Tian take action. He first severed the connection between Xiao Xiaowu and the array, and then he dragged Xiao Xiaowu out of the array. At the mont of intervention, Qi Tian had briefly considered whether to switch Xiao Xiaowu with the individual sitting in the middle of the array. Using the power of the array, not only could Xiao Xiaowu’s depleted body be replenished, but perhaps his cultivation realm could be improved further on top of his original level.
However, Qi Tian quickly snuffed out that thought. If he wanted to restore Xiao Xiaowu’s body and increase his cultivation realm, Qi Tian had many thods at his disposal. There was no need to resort to such malevolent tactics. Though these thods might seem quick and effortless, they ca with great hidden dangers.
Qi Tian, using the sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine, found that although the individual seated in the middle of the array had an impressive aura, the Spirit Qi inside his body was patchy and impure. Four different strands of Spirit Qi were entangled within his body. Although forcibly twisted together, they were not fused, clearly distinct from each other. To change this state was by no ans a simple task, requiring a huge price and untold amounts of ti to rectify. This was also the reason why Qi Tian didn’t want Xiao Xiaowu to adopt this thod.
After pulling Xiao Xiaowu out of the array, Qi Tian began to take action. He sparingly flipped through the dicines on his person, finding several elixirs suitable for Xiao Xiaowu’s current stage, and stuffed them into Xiao Xiaowu’s mouth like they cost nothing. This allowed Xiao Xiaowu to recover in a short ti.
