Light Fortress-Chapter 1400 - 176: The Smuggling Plan

For the forces of the Five Continents to take someone out of the Sangzhou Cave openly and honorably, approval from the world meeting is required... This is also the purpose of the Five Continents Council; when the balance of power is tipped, laws and regulations will do their utmost to protect the rights of the "weak."

In those days, the East Continent survived and endured in such a narrow gap.

The Holy City convened the world meeting more than once to delay matters.

So... if the continents want to take the native Transcendents of the Sangzhou Cave openly, it will still take some time.

"How about this," Hu Danian suggested, "You give me the coordinates... I’ll go and pick up Gu Xiaoman by myself?"

In the Heart Lake, it suddenly became very quiet.

Hu Danian frowned slightly.

He sent a message: "Mr. Bai? Mr. Bai?"

There was no response.

...

...

In the primeval forest, Gu Xiaoman is fighting her eighth hunting target.

Bai Xiu sits concealed among the leaves.

He has severed the Spiritual Link with Hu Danian...

The reason is simple.

The coordinates here have been moved up by a thousand meters.

[Thunder Realm Walker] glared angrily, meeting the gaze of a young figure cloaked in crimson. At this moment, the clouds spread vaguely, forming a massive circular ripple.

Even if the mortals on the ground looked up, they could not see the scene here.

Countless volcanic ashes filled this Heavenly Curtain.

The place where the two figures stood seemed not like the ephemeral high sky but solid, gray earth.

"Rumble..."

The wind in the high sky roared with a dullness, like thunder before a torrential downpour.

Red Dragon laid his hands on his dual blades.

He did not draw his blades, but the pressure was overwhelming.

All of Bai Xiu’s spirit focused on the [Thunder Realm Walker], and the cohesion of S-level abilities had actually formed a certain will... This was the first time Bai Xiu felt "dread" from the Thunder Realm Walker.

In earlier confrontations, the Thunder Realm Walker only suffered minor injuries.

But there was a shadow left in his heart!

"Elementalization" is a divine domain considered invincible... The Thunder Realm Walker was now fixated on Red Dragon’s dual blades, which were his greatest guarantee of invincibility. Last time, they were shattered by Red Dragon’s twin blades.

"We meet again."

Red Dragon calmly spoke, directly sending a mental message: "Don’t worry, I didn’t come to fight you this time."

He did not descend further but chose to meet on the cloud level. Meeting with the awareness of the [Thunder Realm Walker] indicated the same.

"What is it?"

Bai Xiu frowned.

"..."

Red Dragon did not directly answer the question. He merely cast a glance downward, his gaze piercing through the ethereal layer of clouds and dense volcanic ash, to the primeval forest below.

Bai Xiu realized who Red Dragon was looking at—

Gu Xiaoman!

"That little girl is progressing so quickly in cultivation; in such a short time, she can already battle with Beast Spirits."

Indeed.

"She’s called ’Gu Xiaoman,’ right?"

Red Dragon chuckled softly, "You’ve put quite a bit of effort into it. All these treasures, you and Gu Shen are more generous than I imagined... banking on her future identity as the ’Lord of Wine,’ giving blessings while she’s young, hoping she will repay the favor in the future?"

Bai Xiu’s voice turned gloomy: "Speak plainly."

"It’s a simple matter."

Red Dragon’s smile faded.

The foremost of the Four Divine Envoys placed his hands on the hilt of his blades. He hadn’t drawn them, yet the aura he exuded was enough to stir the sea of clouds into a frenzy.

The Thunder Realm Walker’s Elemental Dharma Body was ceaselessly buffeted by the winds.

"I don’t care how many Neutral people you want to send away from Sangzhou Cave."

"She cannot leave."

...
