Heavenly Azure Imperial Capital.
In a secluded small courtyard.
Jiang Hongyu's face was covered in blood, convulsing on the ground.
Liu Shang stepped on his head and looked down at him, saying indifferently, "Last chance, before dawn, bring Lin Wansuo to ."
"If you dare bring back another chunk of ice, I don't mind having a chat with Li Ruiting."
Trembling, Jiang Hongyu got up from the ground, wiped the blood from his mouth, and said, "I'll go right now!"
Having personally experienced Liu Shang's torture, Jiang Hongyu knew exactly how it felt and feared that the imprisoned Stunning Phoenix Immortal might suffer the sa fate.
He was even more afraid that during the torture, the Stunning Phoenix Immortal might not be able to maintain the "Stunning Phoenix Technique," revealing her true form.
With her unparalleled beauty, if she fell into Liu Shang's hands, unimaginable humiliation would surely await her!
Jiang Hongyu was terrified this scenario might actually happen.
So, he had to find Lin Xiyue!
...
...
In the night.
On the broad back of a black giant bird.
After hearing Ao Si's story, Luo Xiu patted his arm to offer comfort.
He hadn't expected Ao Si to have such a tragic past.
No wonder Ao Si had laughed heartily when he saw the Corpse Mountain and the Sea of Blood created by a punch earlier.
Luo Xiu said, "Don't worry, elder. I will rescue your imprisoned clansn and find the clan leader's family in the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven."
Ao Si looked at Luo Xiu incredulously and asked, "Venerable One, why are you helping like this?"
Luo Xiu thought for a mont and honestly said, "Because the wisdom of the Three-Star Clan is very useful to ."
Unlike Lin Shanshan, who knew about governance, developnt, and strategy... he at least knew that to build a powerful nation, the most needed are top-notch technical personnel.
Even establishing a sect requires recruiting outstandingly talented disciples for the sect to grow and dominate one side.
Luo Xiu continued, "In short, you're a great talent, and I can benefit from you, so I will help you as much as possible."
Hearing this, Ao Si fell silent.
Luo Xiu suddenly asked, "If soone has absorbed a large amount of Shu Poison, can they still be saved?"
Hearing this, Ao Si snapped back to attention and said, "Then that person would turn into a Shu Demon and could never return to their original form."
Luo Xiu said, "But she hasn't turned into a Shu Demon; instead, she's suppressed a large amount of Shu Poison inside her body."
Ao Si frowned and thought for a mont before saying, "This is the first ti I've heard of such a thing. It would require and the clan leader to open the Three-Star Knowledge Repository together before we can find a solution."
Luo Xiu nodded lightly, saying, "Then it seems I must go to the Divine Oracle Cave Heaven to find the clan leader."
Ao Si looked at Luo Xiu and urged, "Venerable One, when you go to the Heavenly Azure Prison to save people, you will likely face Luo Hao or so powerful cultivators. However, with your strength, you need not fear them, but be cautious of the 'Living Bone Body.'
"The Living Bone Body is refined by assembling the limbs of several Great Emperors. Essentially, it has no weaknesses. Although it cannot use Daoist Divine Abilities, its physical strength alone can be invincible in the world."
Hearing this, Luo Xiu recalled the bandaged man he encountered in the Evergreen Forest.
"Thanks for the warning. I will be careful."
"..."
...
Lao Ba pushed his speed to the limit, quickly reaching the edge of the Lingtian Plateau, but was blocked by the barrier wall spanning the Sky Do, unable to advance any further.
"Crown Prince, this barrier seems really formidable, daring to block your beloved Lao Ba's path. Quickly destroy it!"
Hearing this, Luo Xiu wasted no words. With a casual wave of his hand, a thunderbolt exploded in The Void, producing a terrifying boom.
A pitch-black fissure in space was directly blasted open!
Seeing this, Ao Si's eyes shook, and he exclaid, "This is the Divine Skill of our clan, the Space-splitting Divine Thunder! Venerable One, how do you know this long-lost Divine Skill?"
Luo Xiu said, "While on Earth, I once went to the Ancestral Land of the Three-Star Clan."
Ao Si lightly frowned, "Earth?"
Luo Xiu thought for a mont and said, "That's the Kunlun Ancient Realm."
"I see."
Luo Xiu retracted his Divine Sense and said, "Pursuers are coming. Everyone, go ahead; we will et on Yan Huang Star."
"Crown Prince, you have to co back soon. Lao Ba can't do without you!"
"Brother, take care. I'll be waiting for you on Yan Huang Star!"
"..."
Watching Lao Ba, Ma Muyang, Ao Si, and the others leave until they disappeared into the space fissure created by the Divine Thunder, Luo Xiu slowly turned around.
He stood proudly in The Void, his expression indifferent, and covered the group of pursuers with his Divine Sense, suddenly saying, "If you don't want to die, you can turn back ho now."
A mont later.
A deafening explosion resounded throughout the Heavenly Azure Empire!
It was the loud bang of thunderbolts exploding!
Countless fragnts of bodies drifted down like snowflakes in the night sky.
...
...
Summit of Heavenly Plains.
Saintess Palace.
A tricolor lightning bolt suddenly tore through the night sky, striking directly into the dormitory of the Saintess Palace.
Inside the Saintess' Dormitory.
Luo Xiu landed with a thud, retracting the tricolor Thunder Wings behind him. His face suddenly turned pale, and he weakly knelt on one knee, vomiting a mouthful of blood.
The tearing pain inside and out made his body tremble uncontrollably.
Luo Qingyu, who was protecting Luo Qingxian, saw this and her face changed dramatically. She hurriedly went up to support him.
Luo Qingxian also promptly halted her practice and rushed towards Luo Xiu.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Luo Xiu waved his hand lightly and smiled, "I'm fine, just the aftereffects of refining the Dao Jade haven't completely faded."
In fact, during the ti at the Shadow Tower base, Luo Xiu was just enduring.
Two days ago, he continuously refined three pieces of Dao Jade at once, paying a severe price. The damage to his body hadn't been fully repaired by the Fortune-Forming Power even now.
Luo Qingyu wiped the blood from his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Since you even took action, this must have been quite a commotion."
Luo Xiu said, "It was indeed a big commotion, but rest assured, those who know I'm Yan Huang Star's son-in-law Bai Haoran will keep it a secret for , so this won't affect the balance between Heavenly Plains and Heavenly Azure."
Luo Qingxian asked puzzledly, "Are those people really trustworthy? Why would they keep it secret for you?"
Luo Xiu said blandly, "Because I killed them all."
At these words, both sisters were stunned, looking at each other speechlessly.
Alright, that's very Ao Debiao.
Luo Qingyu reproached, "Don't do this again in the future, take care of your body, okay? If sothing happens to your body, what will we and Sister Xian'er do?"
Luo Xiu looked at her with a peculiar expression, "Don't worry, as long as that part isn't broken, it'll be fine."
Luo Qingyu rolled her eyes and said, "Thankfully, all the experts from the Shadow Tower went to the Li Family, otherwise, with your current physical condition, how could you have co back so easily?"
"Li Family?" Hearing this, Luo Xiu slightly frowned, seizing the key point in her words, and asked, "The ho of Li Ruiting, the Minister of Revenue?"
Regarding the Li Family, he had no interest whatsoever.
But Lin Xiyue, who was in the Li Family, was constantly on his mind.
Luo Qingyu retorted, "What other Li Family could it be?"
A bad premonition rose in Luo Xiu's heart, and he asked, "What are the Shadow Tower's experts doing at the Li Family?"
Luo Qingyu said, "It's just a case of a tall tree inviting the wind. The Shen Luo Comrce Guild founded by Lin Wansuo is gaining too much attention, and Princess Guang wants to deal with her."
Luo Xiu suddenly stood up, gritting his teeth, "Then I must rush to the Li Family now."
