Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 278 - 180: A Special Relationship

The protagonist’s face darkened, looking quite displeased.

He originally thought that his intervention this time would save the citizens of Shengjing City from disaster, leaving Zhao Yi and the Zhao royal family of Great Xia indebted to him.

But instead, it seemed that the citizens of Shengjing City were implicated because of him.

This was unsettling!

Outside the Seven-Colored Light Ball, the Sage of Time saw that the protagonist was not afraid, but rather angry, and couldn’t help but ask in surprise, "Are you not afraid of death?"

Earlier in the Divine Hall of Time, it was the same. The protagonist suddenly entered an unfamiliar place, yet he showed no concern or fear.

The Sage of Time curiously asked, "You are different from anyone I’ve met from the Cultivation World. Even the sages of the Cultivation World, like the Buddhas of old, faced life and death without your calmness, despite being far more powerful than you. How do you remain so composed in the face of death?"

Upon hearing this, images of Zhao Yi, Su Qianqian, Yao Su, the little poison, Linglong, and others flashed through the protagonist’s mind.

He looked deeply and said in a calm tone, "Nothing much, just met some special people and went through some extraordinary things."

The Sage of Time became even more intrigued, "Who are these people? Can I meet them? They must be remarkable sages to have forged such a mindset in you. I would love the opportunity to learn from them face-to-face."

Hearing this, the protagonist raised an eyebrow and nodded, "You will. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to meet them soon."

The Sage of Time immediately understood, "You mean those sages are in this city?"

The protagonist didn’t answer but asked something unrelated.

"Do you have any companions?" the protagonist inquired.

The Sage of Time said, "I originally had a companion, but I just sensed his presence and was about to join up with him when he vanished."

The protagonist thought of the Otherworld being he had sensed earlier.

Since the Sage of Time said the companion disappeared, it must have been handled by Zhao Yi.

Although he didn’t know how Zhao Yi did it, as long as the Sage of Time had no companions, it would suffice.

This was the second time the protagonist interacted with the Sage of Time, yet he still knew nothing about this guy’s background.

"If you don’t have any accomplices, then go to hell."

After saying this, a crimson-gold ring appeared before the protagonist.

The protagonist intended to use the power of the Red Gold Dragon Domain from the Dragon God Technique to break away from the Sage of Time’s Divine Soul lock.

Contrary to his expectations, when the Red Gold Dragon Domain emerged, the surrounding seven-colored glow seemed to buckle under immense pressure, getting squeezed and distorted.

The Sage of Time let out a soft exclamation, surprised, "What is this thing?"

The Sage of Time always spoke with an unruffled tone, and it was the first time the protagonist heard such strong emotion in his voice.

After sensing the Red Gold Dragon Domain, the Sage of Time, as if discovering a new continent, excitedly said to the protagonist:

"Messenger, what was that thing you just did?"

"I sensed rules from that thing that are entirely different from the order of the Three Thousand Small Worlds, it’s truly astonishing."

"Is the sage who created those rules still alive? Can I meet him?"

"The Spirit Realm hasn’t seen new rules emerge in over a hundred thousand years. Given that sage’s accomplishments, they could be a founding ancestor in the Spirit Realm."

Upon hearing this, the protagonist was taken aback for a moment.

The Dragon God Technique is that formidable?

This cultivation technique tormented the Zhao clan for thousands of years, killing countless Zhao descendants.

The Zhao clan both loves and hates mentioning the Dragon God Technique.

They love it because this cultivation technique allows Zhao’s descendants to defy fate and reach the pinnacle of the Cultivation World.

They hate it due to the madness of youth and the bloodline curse that ensures death by sixty.

Before entering the Treasure Tower Secret Realm, the protagonist only had a few months of life left and had already gone mad once, experiencing firsthand the sheer terror of losing one’s heart spirit and facing death.

For a long time, the protagonist shared the same view as other Zhao descendants, believing the Dragon God Technique to be the curse of Zhao’s ancestors upon all of Zhao’s lineage.

Yet who would have thought that the Dragon God Technique had such a grand origin, even shocking the leaders of the Magic World from tens of thousands of years ago.

"Who exactly were Zhao’s ancestors?"

For the first time, the protagonist became curious about the origins of the Dragon God Technique.

He had delved too little into the Dragon God Technique.

Hearing the Sage of Time’s words, he felt a sense of regret akin to returning empty-handed from a treasure mountain.

However, now was not the time to think about those matters.

With a shift in his divine sense, the protagonist expanded the Red Gold Dragon Domain abruptly, smashing through the previously teetering Seven-Colored Barrier.

The seven-colored flowing light wandered in the void for a while, then once again turned back into the Seven-Colored Light Group as before.

Witnessing this, the protagonist finally believed that the Sage of Time was at his wit’s end.

The Sage of Time was exceptionally cautious, so he wouldn’t trap the protagonist with his own Divine Soul unless he had no other means left.

The protagonist, with a flick of his finger, shot a streak of crimson-gold light at the Sage of Time, causing the Seven-Colored Light Group to burst once again.

When the light group reassembled, both its color and size had shrunk significantly compared to before.

Observing the shaky, barely stable Sage of Time struggling to maintain the Light Group’s shape, the protagonist thoughtfully said, "I finally understand why I saw rivers of blood in the River of Time, it turns out the Red Gold Dragon Domain can suppress those otherworldly beings!"

The Sage of Time has lived countless millennia and was long shrewd and seasoned.

Upon hearing the protagonist’s words, he immediately understood.

The Sage of Time exclaimed in shock, "The rivers of blood scene you saw in the River of Time, wasn’t it people from the Cultivation World who died, but the Three Thousand Small Worlds’ experts? How is that possible?"

Seeing the Sage of Time’s Seven-Colored Light Group flicker due to intense emotional fluctuations, the protagonist didn’t respond but continued firing crimson-gold light at him.

The resilience of the Sage of Time’s Divine Soul was incredibly strong; though it exploded repeatedly and reassembled each time, appearing on the brink of collapse, it never completely shattered.

He even attempted to persuade the protagonist, "The foundation of this world is too weak; normally, it would be impossible for anyone to create such a powerful new rule."

"Therefore, I’m almost certain that the secret cache of the Ancient Race is in this world, and the one who created those new rules likely obtained the cache!"

"As long as you can lead me to find that person, when my true form arrives in this world, I will surely provide you with endless resources and wealth."

The protagonist remained unmoved, continuing to bombard the Sage of Time with crimson light.

This time, the Sage of Time was truly anxious, "You can’t kill me. If I fall, my true form will definitely sense it, and then it will be doomsday for your Cultivation World."

Unconcerned, the protagonist casually replied, "Have you forgotten your own words?"

"You said the River of Time flows forward incessantly, unaffected by anyone’s will."

"It’s good your true form discovers this; I’ve been wanting to test whether the River of Time is as mysterious as you claim."

"As for whether your true form descending on the Cultivation World will cause its destruction, that’s none of my concern. If the sky falls, there are taller people to hold it up. Killing you is already my utmost benevolence. As for other matters, naturally others will handle them."

Thinking of this, the protagonist suddenly thought of Zhao Yi.

The Undead Zombie Dragon had been attacking the city for half a day, yet Zhao Yi had not appeared, and it was uncertain where he had gone.
