Chapter 349: A Hair's Breadth Escape
Cai Changlao bowed and said, "This subordinate has only just received the news." He bowed his head, and in his vision, the magnificent skirt appeared. Immediately after, his chin was lifted by a delicate, jade-like finger.
Silently, the Mistress of the Water God Palace teleported from the stage to Cai Changlao's presence.
"Interesting. I just used props to cast a divination, and the hexagrams were all normal. How did you know about the failure of Past Without Trace in attacking the demigod? Could it be that you, Cai Qinhe, can discern the secrets of the Taiyin stars?"
The exquisitely painted face of the opera performer, with its faint enchanting smile, had eyes as cold as water. "Cai Qinhe, it's foolish to play tricks in front of me. You and I are both unfeeling people, but we also hold grudges."
Her fair fingers caressed Cai Changlao's face, and she said with a smile, "My way of taking revenge is usually to send people back to The Way of the Extraordinary."
Cai Changlao's expression remained unchanged, and he said directly, "Palace Mistress, Ling Tuo and the South Faction Leader joined forces to snipe Past Without Trace. Ling Tuo has been planning for a long time, and Past Without Trace will undoubtedly die. You should take action. The demigod item cannot fall into the hands of the South Faction, or it will be another Shura. Moreover, once Past Without Trace goes mad, the people of Jinshan City will be in dire straits. Only your mirror image can keep the demigods out of reality."
In front of a demigod, concealment and trickery are indeed meaningless. He didn't intend to hide anything, but to be open and honest, stating the advantages and disadvantages clearly, and then letting the Palace Mistress make her own decision.
The demigod-level item and the lives of the citizens of Jinshan City were both things that the Palace Mistress could not ignore. Cai Changlao was confident that the Palace Mistress would take action. This was a calculated move.
As for scheming against a demigod and incurring punishment, that would be dealt with later. Of course, if the Palace Mistress could obtain the demigod-level item, he would not only be blameless, but would also have made a great contribution.
In Cai Changlao's view, dealing with Yuan Shitianzun was just a side matter. Competing for the Illusion God item was the main theme. If the Five Elements Alliance didn't intervene, the Illusion God item of Past Without Trace would ultimately fall into the hands of the Dark Night Rose and the South Faction.
The Mistress of the Water God Palace snorted lightly. "The Lord of the Central Courtyard is asleep, and that little white tiger is wandering around in the instance. I will deal with this matter with the one surnamed Jiang. As for your little thoughts, I will settle the score with you later."
Her body dissipated like bubbles, like a phantom.
Zhao Xintong? Why is this girl calling me with no rhyme or reason? Zhang Yuanqing, not avoiding the Xie family's grandparents and grandchildren, answered the phone calmly.
"Yuan Shitianzun," Zhao Xintong's weak and trembling voice sounded, "There are Sovereigns, there are official Sovereigns who want to kill us. We have been discovered, come and save us, we are at home."
"Beep, beep, beep," the call ended abruptly.
Zhang Yuanqing's scalp went numb, and the tipsy feeling instantly disappeared. They were targeted by an official Sovereign at home. Would a Sovereign give her time to make a phone call? Cai Changlao was trying to replicate the plane ambush incident?
How did he locate Xiaoyuan? It's impossible to lock them down so quickly relying on surveillance cameras alone. Thoughts flashed through his mind, and he felt chills creeping into his heart. Zhang Yuanqing suddenly stood up and said urgently, "Senior, something has happened to my friends. I need to leave immediately. I need help."
The Old Ancestor frowned slightly, looked at him, her little face serious, and said bluntly, "Are you sure you want to go? Have you forgotten your death tribulation?"
"I'm sure," Zhang Yuanqing said without any hesitation.
The Old Ancestor shook her head slightly, "Deep affection does not last. Xie Su, you accompany him."
Xie Su got up.
"Yes!"
At this moment, Zhang Yuanqing had already taken out a matchbox, and lit two matches in a row, making a wish to obtain two teleportation jade talismans.
Then, he grabbed Little Red Riding Hood and summoned a Level 4 Yin corpse, wishing to obtain a third teleportation jade talisman.
Then, he summoned his clone from outside the courtyard and handed him the Five Elements Spiritual Power Experience Card, the "Heaven Worship Suit," and three teleportation jade talismans. After thinking about it, considering that the clone might need help, he also gave the Ghost Bride to the other party.
"Go quickly to the rescue," Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice.
The official Sovereign clearly wanted to use Xiaoyuan to lure him out. Now that the goal had been achieved, they were likely to kill Xiaoyuan and the others, so a strong person had to rush to support them immediately.
The clone nodded, crushed the teleportation jade talisman. The two of them had a connection, their souls were from the same source, so there was no need for explanation.
Watching the clone disappear, Zhang Yuanqing looked at Xie Su again.
"Uncle Xie, take me to Chonghua Community in Jinshan City." The reason he didn't use the teleportation jade talisman was because those two jade talismans were to be kept to save Xiaoyuan and Kou Beiyue.
Although he could also use Little Red Riding Hood to take them in, Zhang Yuanqing vaguely sensed the arrival of a killing tribulation.
If something happened to him, Xiaoyuan and Kou Beiyue in the hat would definitely die.
He only left Xie Su, because Little Red Riding Hood could not accommodate The Way of the Extraordinary beyond its own level. Zhang Yuanqing was now at Level 6 peak.
Xie Su grabbed a ball of red thread from his inventory, held the ball of red thread tightly and whispered to himself, "Chonghua Community in Jinshan City!"
After saying that, he held one end of the thread, and threw the ball of red thread into the distance. The red embroidered ball landed, rolled and rolled, rolled into the void, and disappeared, leaving only a thin red thread.
"Jinshan City is not far from Pangxie City. Hold the red thread and follow it. It will take two minutes," Xie Su said, leading the red thread farther and farther away, walking into the void.
Zhang Yuanqing suppressed the anxiety in his heart, picked up the red thread, and followed him into the void.
In the room, Zhao Xintong hung up the phone. She knew that she didn't have much time left. After discovering that the life essence was not working, she realized that her life was coming to an end.
So she hung up the call. At the end of her life, she had other things to do.
Zhao Xintong dialed her grandfather's number.
Since her father died in childhood, her grandfather had been the one who loved her the most. Her birth mother hated her, her stepfather abused her, and her withdrawn personality also made her classmates dislike her. The teacher often said: Although they are wrong, you have to think about your own problems.
Only her grandfather treated her like a treasure. Her grandfather said she was a little angel. The phone rang for a long time, and finally connected: "Hello, Tongtong?"
