(Ps: I took a look, and the book's top voter last month was the book friend Longshen Liehuo. During the previous book "Zushiye," Longshen Liehuo was the consecutive top voter for several months. Now, in the first month of the new book, the top voter is Longshen Liehuo again.
As a token of gratitude, I am adding an extra chapter for Longshen Liehuo.
I also want to thank all the book friends who voted, supported, and rewarded this book. Thank you all!
Therefore, there will be three updates today, and another one after midnight! I'm asking for recommendation votes! Member clicks! And more collections! Please continue to support this book!
Thank you!)
The aura of a Great Master realm powerhouse overwhelmed all directions, stirring the winds and clouds.
The hearts of the Eastern Tang martial artists instantly sank to the bottom. Such an opponent, they could not possibly face, even if they all joined forces.
Elder He of Vast Wilderness Mountain appeared, his gaze falling on Yan Zhaoge and Zhao Shicheng.
Before he could speak, his expression suddenly changed slightly.
He saw that the unconscious Eastern Tang ruler Zhao Shicheng had suddenly opened his eyes at this moment.
Their gazes collided straight in the air.
Zhao Shicheng said calmly, "Elder He, thank you for personally coming to visit."
As he spoke, he sat on the ground, one hand clenched into a fist, the other striking the ground.
With Zhao Shicheng as the center, the originally dim and broken spiritual patterns suddenly lit up with brilliant light, spreading outwards.
The power of the formation soared at this moment, transforming from its previous weakened state to a powerful one.
The strong force directly shook the Vast Wilderness Mountain group, led by Elder He, forcing them to retreat and be pushed out of the formation.
"How could he recover so quickly?" Elder He turned to look at the other Vast Wilderness Mountain martial artists.
The two leading innate grandmasters shook their heads with bitter faces, their expressions full of disbelief.
They whispered, "When we caught up, his injuries were very severe, just a breath away from death."
"Such a quick recovery shouldn't be possible in such a short time."
"It's like seeing a ghost!"
Zhao Hao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze tightly fixed on Yan Zhaoge, who had his hands on Zhao Shicheng's chest and back.
"How could he recover so quickly?!"
Zhao Hao gritted his teeth, and fresh blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
He asked himself, his alchemy and medical skills were unparalleled in the world, with only a few people comparable to him.
But to have Zhao Shicheng recover in such a short time, even he couldn't do it!
Zhao Hao had seen the state Zhao Shicheng was in at the beginning, knowing how severe the injuries were.
But now, he could regain consciousness and even activate the formation again, completely beyond expectations.
Zhao Hao took a deep breath, "It's not just the technique of transferring pills with golden needles; he has extremely high attainments in the entire field of alchemy and medicine!"
Elder He's gaze also fell on Yan Zhaoge, "Is it true that Young Master Guangcheng is not just a dragon among men, but a dragon among dragons?!"
Not only were the Vast Wilderness Mountain group surprised, but even the Eastern Tang martial artists were startled.
Someone was worried, "Could it be a method to stimulate potential, forcing the emperor to temporarily regain consciousness, only to worsen his injuries or even die afterward?"
"Or is it a last flicker of light, a dying sunset?"
Yan Zhaoge, feeling the worried and anxious gazes around him, rolled his eyes.
"I'm telling you, don't underestimate the profession of a librarian."
Zhao Shicheng nodded at Yan Zhaoge, then stood up directly, "I felt a bit unwell for a moment, but now I'm fine."
"I thank Elder He for personally coming to visit, but this place, the Dragon Suppressing Abyss, is not suitable for conversation."
"After we go out, I will set up a banquet in the Jingyang Palace to entertain Elder He and the Vast Wilderness Mountain group."
Elder He looked at Zhao Shicheng, his brows furrowed.
He didn't believe that Zhao Shicheng's severe injuries had completely healed.
But he couldn't be sure how much strength Zhao Shicheng had left.
How much power of the Jingyang Formation Zhao Shicheng could still harness was also unknown.
If Zhao Shicheng was at his peak and had the formation's power to assist him, Elder He admitted he was no match.
Zhao Hao's gaze shifted between Yan Zhaoge and Zhao Shicheng.
Zhao Shicheng didn't look at Zhao Hao at all.
When he helped Guangcheng Mountain repel the Great Sun Holy Sect in Jingyang City, Zhao Hao had completely given up hope on him.
And now, seeing Zhao Hao with the Vast Wilderness Mountain group, Zhao Shicheng had completely given up hope on him.
Zhao Shicheng looked at Elder He and said calmly, "This is not a place for conversation. I will take my leave first. Elder He, please do as you please."
With that, he extended his palms flatly forward and pressed down on the void.
The formation's spiritual patterns vibrated, and the air currents stirred, carrying Yan Zhaoge, Ah Hu, and the Eastern Tang group up and out of the Dragon Suppressing Abyss.
Elder He's expression darkened; he was unwilling to give up.
Although he no longer felt confident, he didn't hesitate and immediately tried to intercept Yan Zhaoge and Zhao Shicheng.
But at this moment, a violent tremor came from the distance.
A fierce blade aura cut through the void, almost splitting the Dragon Suppressing Abyss canyon.
"It's Elder Dongzhou of Guangcheng Mountain and the Eastern Rising Lord of the Great Sun Holy Sect; they have arrived!"
A grand blade aura cut across the sky, blocking the path of the Vast Wilderness Mountain group.
Golden blade light shone, clashing with the grand blade aura.
But the Vast Wilderness Mountain group had missed their chance to pursue Yan Zhaoge and the others, and it was too late to catch up.
Elder He's expression darkened, "The opportunity has been missed; we can no longer control the situation."
"Let's go, contact the seated elder of our sect, and decide whether to advance or retreat next."
He looked at Zhao Hao, "You will have a hard time staying in Eastern Tang from now on."
Zhao Hao remained silent.
Yan Zhaoge and Zhao Shicheng could also sense the approach of Elder Qin and the Eastern Rising Lord.
Not only that, but Elder Kong and the female Great Master of the Great Sun Holy Sect had already fought from inside the Dragon Suppressing Abyss to outside, the battlefield covering hundreds of miles, causing chaos.
"Uncle, the chaotic path煞qi in your body has not been completely removed."
Yan Zhaoge looked at Zhao Shicheng, "How confident are you about the situation in Jingyang City?"
Zhao Shicheng's expression was slightly pale, and he focused his mind to sense carefully. After a while, he said slowly, "Shi Lie has already entered the palace."
"With the help of the Great Sun Holy Sect, Uncle can't hold him back, and he has already taken control of half of the formation."
"Since I'm not in the palace, it will be difficult to regain control."
Zhao Shicheng extended his palm flatly forward, and the air currents carried Yan Zhaoge and the others to the ground.
His current physical condition was worrying, and he needed to conserve his strength for the upcoming battle.
Fortunately, Eastern Tang had relay stations throughout the country, so they didn't have to worry about the journey.
"Returning to Jingyang now might be too late, and Zhao Shili's advantage will only grow," Yan Zhaoge said, "Uncle, I have an idea that might work."
Zhao Shicheng turned to look at him, "Oh? What idea do you have, Zhaoge?"
Yan Zhaoge said, "Our sect's Spirit Wind Valley is not far from Lin Yuan City and close to the Dragon Suppressing Abyss."
"There are some supplies stored there, and we can try to set up a reversal formation."
Zhao Shicheng's eyes lit up, "Setting up a reversal formation is not easy. If you say this, you must have a way?"
Yan Zhaoge said, "I have a formation diagram that we can try."
"Although it's a gamble, it's better than returning to Jingyang City."
Zhao Shicheng was moved by this, but he asked telepathically, "Spirit Wind Valley, the cloud pattern stone mine..."
Yan Zhaoge replied telepathically, "The battle has already begun. Elder Xu Chuan is capable and should have made arrangements. Don't worry about the secret leaking."
"The Vast Wilderness Mountain people have been blocked by Elder Qin, but they definitely have troops waiting for news in the mountainous areas outside Eastern Tang, ready to act."
"The Great Sun Holy Sect is also in action."
"Zhao Shili in Jingyang City is advancing like a raging fire."
"Every second counts now!"
