Chapter 22: Preparation
Inside the city, Zhang Yujun calmly withdrew her gaze.
With Chen Zhao’s intervention, Yak has no chance of escaping. Although he is known as the perfect evolution of the Rainbow Elixir, his methods are still too weak in the eyes of a true Foundation Establishment Realm expert.
She waited there for a moment, then casually cleaned up the ruins and debris on the ground.
Soon, a white beam of light descended from the sky, transforming into a composed and handsome young man who gently cupped his hands in greeting to Zhang Yujun.
“Junior sister, I’ve brought the person.” Chen Zhao waved his hand, and three figures appeared on the ground: two disabled Cruiser drones and a black figure that was almost charred.
“This is…” Zhang Yujun opened her mouth when she saw the lump of black charcoal.
“I accidentally went a little too hard. Don’t worry, he won’t die.” Chen Zhao said with a smile. After setting up the ritual, the power of the Five Tribulations Imprisoning Fire Array will be multiplied. Only a portion of its power will be used to deal with Ark.
Zhang Yujun nodded gently, as long as he wasn’t dead.
“However, junior sister, what use do you have for sparing this person’s life?” Chen Zhao asked curiously.
There is no truly immortal body in this world. Although Ark’s physique, evolved from the Rainbow Elixir, has extremely strong regenerative abilities, it can still be easily destroyed by the Five Tribulations Imprisoning Fire Array.
“Does Senior Brother know the relationship between the Wanhe Alliance and our Wenxian Sect?” Zhang Yujun asked.
“Senior, do you know?” Chen Zhao asked the snake demon.
“Although I have lived for hundreds of years, I know very little about this place called Tianyu Baidi. I have only heard that it is a new realm that has appeared in the last thousand years and that the Immortal Sect attaches great importance to it.” The snake demon said that he did not know much about it either.
Chen Zhao shook his head.
Zhang Yujun smiled slightly and said, “Although the Wanhe Alliance is on good terms with my Immortal Sect, that was hundreds of years ago. Nowadays, all forces in the Tianyu Hundred Lands are full of vigilance towards us, and this kind of thinking has gradually become the mainstream within the Wanhe Alliance. The Valen Temple is one of the representatives.”
As for Ark, he was an experimental product of the Valen Temple. If they could bring him back to the Immortal Sect, they might be able to extract a large sum of money from them.
Chen Zhao instantly understood.
Yak himself was insignificant to the Valen Temple, but things were different when he fell into the hands of the Wenxian Sect. Even for the sake of face, the Valen Temple had to redeem him.
Moreover, the Immortal Sect could make a big deal out of the fact that Yak attacked them.
“However, the most urgent task is to determine the timing of the support from the Temple of Valen.”
Zhang Yujun pondered for a moment, then came to the two Cruisers. With just one glance, she saw through their true nature. These people had completely abandoned their original physical bodies and instead projected their consciousness and souls into their mechanical bodies.
This method has both advantages and disadvantages, and there are similar principles in the path of immortality.
“Can you speak?” Zhang Yujun asked.
One of the cruisers, in slightly better condition, raised its head, its voice carrying a threatening warning, “Who are you? Don’t you know whose territory this is?”
Zhang Yujun and Chen Zhao exchanged a glance, and Zhang Yujun said calmly, “Why don’t you tell me?”
“Holy Knight of the Temple, Lord Andes, haven’t you heard of him?” the Cruiser said arrogantly, though his attitude was somewhat blustering.
“No, not at all.” Zhang Yujun shook her head, looking at him calmly. “So what should we do now? Will this Holy Knight come looking for us?”
The cruiser was momentarily speechless.
He had originally planned to bring up the name of the Andes to see if he could scare the other party away, or at least make them hesitate to act. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yujun not only did not back down, but also seemed very interested.
“The Rainbow Elixir is one of Lord Andes’s important projects. The loss of contact with this Celestial Ring will inevitably attract his attention. His fleet will arrive within a week at most. If you don’t leave soon, you’ll be waiting to die,” the Cruiser sneered.
I also want to leave.
Zhang Yujun silently recited a sentence in her heart, but as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she was not yet capable of long-distance traversal in a space environment.
Although the cruiser revealed some information, she dared not believe it easily.
If there’s any false information mixed in, that could be fatal.
Zhang Yujun glanced at Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao immediately understood.
He walked up to the cruiser, extended five fingers, and gently made a loose fist.
“Look at my hands. Come on, tell me everything you know.”
A seductive whisper arose, and the cruiser’s consciousness was irresistibly drawn in, gradually sinking into its allure.
…
…
…
Guided by telepathy, the cruiser revealed everything it knew.
Indeed, as he said, this is the domain of the Holy Knight Andes.
Knights in the Temple of Valen are synonymous with individual strength.
Based on their strength, they are further divided into Regular Knights, Earth Knights, Sky Knights, Holy Knights, and Knights of the Round Table.
The full name of the Holy Knights is Holy Title Knights. As the name suggests, at this stage, they are no longer ordinary members of the Temple; they themselves are the symbol of a family.
And this Andes was known as the Invincible Sword.
This is a powerful knight skilled in combat. He has made great achievements on the battlefield of stars and is extremely famous throughout the Valen Temple.
But unlike what the cruiser said, this knight usually didn’t care about the affairs of his own territory; he usually only cared about his own training.
Based on past practice, it is highly likely that only his subordinates will come.
If that’s the case, they might be able to handle it.
“Junior sister, I don’t think we can gamble our lives on someone else’s shoulders,” Chen Zhao said solemnly.
“What does Senior Brother want to do?” Zhang Yujun glanced at him.
Through the cruiser’s description, she learned that the Holy Knight’s strength was roughly equivalent to their Golden Core Realm cultivators, and that their chances of winning were slim if they were to engage in combat.
“I have a secret technique here called the Heavenly Gang of Broken Mountains, which can connect with the earth’s energy and use the power of the Earthly Fiends to fight enemies. The larger the scale of the formation, the greater the power it will unleash. But this process requires the assistance of my junior sister’s Heavenly River Profound Sand.” Chen Zhao said frankly after receiving the secret technique from the snake demon.
“Activate the power of the Earthly Fiends?” Zhang Yujun thought for a moment. The power of the Earthly Fiends is something that can only be accessed after reaching the Golden Core stage. If they could really set up this formation, then they would have an extra trump card to fight against the Andes, which might be coming.
“I understand. I will assist my senior brother in completing the formation.”
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to hand over the Heavenly River Mystic Sand to Chen Zhao, but rather that this treasure had developed its own spirituality after years of refining by her, and only in her hands could it unleash its full power.
“That’s good.” Chen Zhao glanced at the Heavenly River Profound Sand and couldn’t help but be surprised. The spiritual treasures made from this material have unlimited potential in the future. This is not something that ordinary immortal families can produce.
The snake demon laughed in his mind, “Good, good, good! With the help of this Heavenly River Mystic Sand, not only can the Broken Mountain Heavenly Gang Formation be set up, but you may even be able to master the Earth Element True Light!”
