As soon as Zongzheng Daoyi heard about the Sky-Sealing Tower, he immediately exchanged glances with the elders present, all of whom revealed a greedy expression. Zongzheng Daoyi understood right away.
Zongzheng Daoyi then said to Wei Chi Wu Qiang, "Master Wu Qiang, this news has not been leaked outside, has it?"
"Absolutely not. As soon as I heard the report, I came here immediately, fearing that this matter would leak and be detrimental to our grand plan," Wei Chi Wu Qiang quickly affirmed.
Zongzheng Daoyi nodded and said, "That's very good. Let's keep this matter between us; Brother Wu Qiang should not spread it further. Our two sects will work together to capture Guan Tian. Although Dragon Lake Academy is formidable, Guan Tian is currently alone in the Dawson Empire, so we still have a chance."
An elder from the Nanyue Sect spoke up, "If the Azure Dragon Sect is currently unable to act, our Nanyue Sect can take over. Doesn't that kid Guan Tian have two Divine Artifact Towers? We can negotiate among ourselves."
Wei Chi Wu Qiang secretly laughed, hoping they would dare to go. He then added, "The elder makes a valid point. Your sect can send someone immediately to capture Guan Tian. We will make some arrangements and head out as well; we must avenge our fallen comrades."
"Since Brother Wu Qiang has such understanding, we should not delay. I will send people to capture Guan Tian right away; you Azure Dragon Sect can follow shortly after. We will do our utmost to defeat the enemy, and we can discuss the spoils later," Zongzheng Daoyi concluded decisively.
Wei Chi Wu Qiang quickly briefed the Nanyue Sect on the details before hurriedly taking his leave to return to his sect. He deliberately pretended to be in a rush to push the Nanyue Sect to act quickly.
Sure enough, as soon as Wei Chi Wu Qiang left, a talented disciple from Nanyue Sect, Supreme Realm Disciple Luo Fang, stood up immediately and said, "Sect Master, we must act quickly; if that kid Guan Tian retreats back to Dragon Lake Academy, things will become very troublesome. Why don't we brothers set off with a group right away to track down Guan Tian?"
Zongzheng Daoyi looked at the other elders and saw that no one objected. He then said, "Brother Luo Fang, be very careful on this trip. Guan Tian is cunning and has two treasure towers that are both divine artifacts; you brothers must take extra precautions. I will send Wukong God along with you for protection; your lives will be secure."
The elders all breathed a sigh of relief. With Wukong God accompanying them, this mission was sure to succeed.
Luo Fang was also extremely excited: "Thank you, Sect Master! With Wukong God fighting alongside us, how could we possibly fail? Elders, please wait here for my good news. I will definitely bring back the Sky-Sealing Tower and Sky Peak Tower for the Sect Master!"
"Don't forget about Celestial Wine! No matter how much there is, I want it," Zongzheng Daoyi added with a smile, causing the elders to burst into laughter.
Luo Fang and his two brothers, all disciples of the Eternal Realm, along with Wukong God, the Supreme Guardian of the Nanyue Sect, formed a group of five Eternal Realm disciples and twenty additional Eternal Realm disciples, plus eight Pinnacle of the Marvelous Realm disciples.
After gathering together, they swiftly set off towards Guan Yue's location.
Five days later, under Gao Yuxin's full guidance, Princess Xiangwei had nearly recovered.
Guan Yue then asked, "Miss Xiangwei, what are your plans? I am preparing to go to Dawson Empire's Changshan Academy to find Regretless Sage. Would you like to come with me?"
Xiang Wei thought for a moment and then shook her head, slightly humbly saying, "If you were to fight with Regretless Sage, it would be inappropriate for me to appear there. I should take these two injured individuals back. Our people from Vast Empire have already arrived in Dawson Empire and will reach here by tomorrow at the latest."
"No, I absolutely cannot leave you here alone. How about I escort you back and meet up with your people on the way, then I will return to Changshan Academy?" Guan Yue suggested.
Xiang Wei felt a wave of emotion.
Over the past few days, Guan Yue had been exceptionally kind to her, providing many precious and rare treasures as medicine for her recovery, allowing her to heal in just a few days. Moreover, she was subtly on the verge of breaking through to the Eternal Realm.
Many of the medicines Guan Yue provided were rare even in their Vast Empire and could not be used for her recovery as a princess. She felt indebted to Guan Yue.
Thus, she had been deeply moved by everything Guan Yue had done for her over these days.
Guan Yue even gifted her a thousand pounds of Celestial Wine, which further touched her heart. She felt that Guan Yue would do anything for her. Especially when she heard from Jin Xi that Guan Yue risked his life to save her this time, she felt an even greater sense of guilt.
Xiang Wei was just a teenage girl; it was the first time she experienced such wholehearted treatment from a man who asked for nothing in return and disregarded life and death. So amidst Guan Yue's overwhelming generosity, she unconsciously began to see him in a different light.
In reality, the Celestial Wine and medicines Guan Yue provided could be considered trivial compared to his wealth. Yet this small gesture made the esteemed Princess of the Myriad Realms feel immensely grateful and even contemplate repaying him with her own life.
This only serves to illustrate that Guan Yue was truly a wealthy man now.
In the Sky-Sealing Tower, various herbs have thrived, including the Millennium End Grass, which has already sprouted new techniques, much to Guan Yue's delight.
Wuma Xiangwei agreed to let Guan Yue escort her once more.
The Emperor of the Myriad Realms received an urgent report from Princess Xiangwei. Upon hearing that the Azure Dragon Sect and Nanyue Sect dared to forcibly capture the only princess of the Vast Empire, he was immediately enraged. He vowed to expel both the Azure Dragon Sect and Nanyue Sect.
He promptly dispatched two Eternal Realm Disciples, three Eternal Realm Disciples, and ten Miraculous Realm Disciples to hastily welcome Princess Xiangwei back to court.
The team sent by the Vast Empire was led by Eternal Realm Disciple Ma Shangxiong. They traveled day and night, desperately making their way to Dawson Empire. Three days later, they arrived at Daodula City in Dawson Empire. The fifteen Disciples quickly had a meal before setting off again without any delay.
However, their hurried actions caught the attention of Luo Fang and his group, who were also dining there.
The Rofang Brothers and Wukong God, along with thirty-two Disciples, were eating in Daodula City. They were just about to inquire about Guan Tian's whereabouts when they suddenly overheard a nearby table of ten Disciples discussing the princess, Azure Dragon Sect, and Nanyue Sect.
Luo Fang and his companions immediately took notice and began paying attention to them.
After the group of ten finished their meal and left, Luo Fang called everyone to follow them and see where they were headed.
If they were going to welcome Princess Wuma Xiangwei, it would be a perfect opportunity for them to capture all of them.
After tracking them for a day, Wukong God said to Luo Fang, "I think we should deal with this group first. Otherwise, if they regroup with more people later, it could lead to unexpected complications."
Luo Fang pondered for a moment but decided to continue tracking them.
Wukong God pointed out, "According to the Azure Dragon Sect leader's account, Guan Tian should be about four or five days away from us. Now that three days have passed, he should be around eight or nine days away. If he rescued Princess Wuma Xiangwei and immediately sent her back to the Vast Empire, he would have nearly reached the Vast Empire by now. If this group is going to welcome the princess, it means Guan Yue is on his way here and should be very close."
Luo Fang replied, "It has been nearly ten days already, and Guan Yue still hasn't brought the princess here. What does that indicate? He simply doesn't have the ability to return the princess to the Vast Empire and needs these people to welcome her. This is exactly our chance to capture them all."
Regarding Luo Fang's statement, Wukong God was also skeptical but couldn't come up with any reasons to refute it. He had no choice but to follow Luo Fang's suggestion and continue tracking.
At this moment, Ma Shangxiong had already contacted Princess Xiangwei. Ma Shangxiong informed Xiang Wei that more than thirty people were following them and asked what the princess should do now.
Guan Yue, upon hearing this news, immediately said to Xiang Wei, "Great! Let them all come over; we plan to ambush them. We will ensure they come and never return."
Wuma Xiangwei asked doubtfully, "Are you sure? They are tracking Ma Shangxiong to capture us all; are you really going to walk into their trap?"
"Miss Xiangwei, don't get it wrong; they are delivering themselves right to us. How could we refuse such a gift? Besides, if we flee, wouldn't the ones coming to meet you become their prey?" Guan Yue laughed heartily, causing Xiang Wei to feel a sense of confidence in their victory.
"Alright then, choose a location. I need to inform him." At this point, Princess Xiangwei had already internally acknowledged Guan Yue's authority.
"Let's choose Qishankou. It won't attract their attention and is a good place for setting up our formation," Guan Yue replied immediately.
"Qishankou, is that the place we just passed?" Xiang Wei looked back.
"Exactly, let's make those scoundrels meet their end there," Guan Yue said confidently.
Xiang Wei quickly replied to Ma Shangxiong, instructing him to head directly to Qishankou.
Then, Guan Yue and the others rushed to Mashankou and began setting up the formation. This time he focused on arranging a top-tier Illusory Array—Plum Blossom Formation—and even established the soul of the formation. The Plum Blossom Formation is one of the few top-tier formations in ancient techniques, possessing immense power that Guan Yue could not complete solely by his own strength.
Only with the full assistance of Lat's Hand and Jin Xi could Guan Yue possibly finish this massive formation setup.
He knew that they were facing a team of over thirty Disciples with astonishing Combat Power. Moreover, since they dared to approach knowing that they possessed the Sky-Sealing Tower and Sky Peak Tower, they must have some significant backing.
If they failed to deliver a heavy blow this time, the Azure Dragon Sect would become even more reckless in their attacks against them.
Guan Yue now truly feels that he has grown up. He has begun to face the crises directed at him independently.
Although he miscalculated the target, it was not the Azure Dragon Sect that came, but rather the Nanyue Sect. However, this was not too far from the truth.
The other party indeed came prepared, and their Combat Power is very strong!
After receiving news from Princess Xiangwei, Ma Shangxiong felt uneasy. Why did Princess Xiangwei choose to stand firm instead of fleeing at this moment? Does she have some powerful backing?
But if she had any strong support, she wouldn't have been captured.
After being rescued by Guan Tian, did she encounter some formidable external aid?
That seems unlikely, as this is within the territory of the Dawson Empire. Neither the Vast Empire nor the Southern Source Empire would have any powerful presence here.
The most likely scenario is that Guan Tian is causing trouble here.
It appears that the princess has no hesitation and completely trusts this kid now. We can only be cautious ourselves. We are already targeted by someone with great power, and everything will depend on the situation and how we respond.
He immediately commanded his subordinates to rush directly towards Qishankou.
