Chapter 1057: Chapter 1057: Xu Yang’s Plan!
"A trap? What do you mean?" Tang Li Xue asked Xu Yang in a curious tone.
Xu Yang’s expression turned cold as he stared at Tang Li Xue with a pair of eyes filled with pity.
"This entire palace was not teleported to somewhere outside the Capital City. They actually used [Spatial Displacement] to exile the entire palace to an isolated space." Xu Yang stated the shocking truth to Tang Li Xue in one breath.
"Wha... What?! They exiled the entire palace to... an isolated space?" Tang Li Xue widened her topaz blue eyes in shock and disbelief.
Temporarily exiling a target to an isolated space was not that surprising for Tang Li Xue, since she also had a special divine ability.
Yes, her [Stellar Banishment] could also do the same thing, but it could only be done to one target, and the banishing duration was also very limited.
([Stellar Banishment]: Borrowing the power of the stars to temporarily banish any target to the empty starry sky. The duration of the Stellar Banishment depends on the difference between the strength of the user and the target.)
Meanwhile, this crimson confinement barrier could actually exile the entire palace at once without any limited duration like her [Stellar Banishment], which was very shocking!
Xu Yang thought Tang Li Xue still did not understand how bad their current situation was, so he continued to explain patiently to Tang Li Xue.
"Since we are displaced into an isolated space by this confinement barrier, if we rashly break this confinement barrier, then there is a high chance that this entire palace will be thrown into void space later." Xu Yang ended his explanation.
"This entire palace will be thrown into void space later?!" Tang Li Xue’s slender body shuddered violently as she subconsciously recalled the moment when she was previously trapped in the void space.
It was truly a nightmare for her, and she definitely did not want it to happen again!
Even though Xu Yang did not mention it again to Tang Li Xue, but Tang Li Xue immediately understood why Xu Yang had stared at her pitifully before.
Xu Yang had previously mentioned that it was impossible for the lunatics from the Blood God Cult to be this smart.
It meant the Blood God Cult only prepared all the resources, while there should be another mastermind behind them that planned all of these things.
The mastermind should be the grandmaster in the formation that was capable of building this crimson confinement barrier and connecting it with the Spatial Displacement Formation and crimson towering trees.
Tang Li Xue immediately connected all the clues and concluded that the mastermind behind it should be Shao Ying.
’As expected from the Fox Clan’s Information Agent Chief of the Great Wei Dynasty, she is truly a terrifying fellow. Maybe on par with Instructor Mei Lan.’ Tang Li Xue sighed helplessly.
Even though Tang Li Xue felt really unhappy and angry at Shao Ying for pushing her into this danger without telling her anything, but it was clearly useless for her to be carried away by her anger at this time.
The most important thing for her to do right now was to remain calm and think of a way out of this terrible situation.
Tang Li Xue pinched her soft chin and frowned deeply while muttering: "So, we cannot break this confinement barrier? Then how the heck do we get out of here?"
Xu Yang replied to Tang Li Xue in a solemn tone: "First, we have to find a way to reverse the Spatial Displacement Formation, so we can teleport this entire palace back into the Capital City."
"Second, we also have to find a way to dispel the abnormal state of the corrupt Heavenly Golden Dragon, so we can cure the Heavenly Golden Dragon back to normal."
"After we solve those two matters, then we can finally move on to the last step, which is to break the confinement barrier." Xu Yang told his step-by-step plan to Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue’s topaz blue eyes were shining like a pair of blue stars as she excitedly said: "Wait, there should be no problem for my spiritual healing water to cure the Heavenly Golden Dragon’s corrupted state!"
Then Tang Li Xue deflated again while murmuring in a frustrated tone: "But it should be almost impossible for me to approach that Heavenly Golden Dragon safely and bathe it with my spiritual healing water."
"Then you can leave it to me!" A rough masculine voice suddenly sounded.
It was actually Taoist Uncle who had finally caught up and joined them again!
Xu Yang nodded and stated: "I will also come with you to explain everything to those old ancestors from the Imperial Palace."
Xu Yang squinted his eyes coldly as he continued to say: "If everything can proceed smoothly, I may be able to obtain those old ancestors’ help and support."
"Not only will it make our task much easier, but if I want to successfully win the throne and smoothly become the next emperor, winning the support of those old ancestors may be a very crucial first step." Xu Yang expressed his thoughts.
Tang Li Xue became even happier and more excited when she heard Xu Yang’s words, since it meant she had successfully persuaded Xu Yang to compete for the throne!
The most important thing was that it also meant she could finally say goodbye to her eighty billion debt!
Then she patted her chest, which had already quite substantially boosted after her evolution, and said confidently: "Then you can leave the first task to me~!"
Xu Yang glanced unconvincingly at Tang Li Xue before he asked: "Are you sure you can handle it?"
"I am quite proficient in some spatial skills. As long as you tell me clearly what I have to do, then I should be able to complete the task for you." Tang Li Xue nodded and replied to Xu Yang.
Of course, what made Tang Li Xue confident was because her [Spatial Displacement] skill had reached 22% right now.
If she could get herself more involved in Spatial Displacement Formation, then she had full confidence that she could fully master the [Spatial Displacement] skill really soon.
Xu Yang unfurled his scroll and showed a complicated circle diagram to Tang Li Xue.
"This circle is the confinement barrier that covers the entire palace, while the several dots I have marked are the positions of the Spatial Displacement Formation."
"Someone should have secretly buried spatial energy stones in several places I have marked before, so when the confinement barrier was activated, the entire palace was automatically exiled to an isolated space."
"But after the Spatial Displacement Formation was activated, those spatial energy stones should have run out of power right now."
"All you need to do right now is to replace all of those depleted spatial energy stones with new ones." Xu Yang concluded his explanation while giving a bag of spatial energy stones to Tang Li Xue.
Tang Li Xue took the bag of spatial energy stones from Xu Yang while asking doubtfully: "That’s it?"
Xu Yang nodded and replied: "After you replace all of the spatial energy stones, I will only need to trigger the Spatial Displacement once again and reverse the process to teleport this Imperial Palace back to the Capital City."
"But you have to be very careful. I think it should be impossible for those locations not to be guarded. You should prepare yourself to fight against the corrosive creatures guarding those places." Xu Yang warned Tang Li Xue solemnly.
If Xu Yang did not see how strong Tang Li Xue was before, he definitely would not let Tang Li Xue do such a dangerous task alone.
Unfortunately, although Xu Yang was unwilling to hand over such a dangerous task to Tang Li Xue, but he also did not have any choice right now.
They were very short of manpowers at this moment!
If they wasted too much time, those people who were detained by the towering crimson trees would become increasingly weaker over time until they would die one by one later!
They were actually racing against time to save those tens of thousands of lives!
Tang Li Xue nodded solemnly at Xu Yang while she pretended to take out a wine gourd from her space pouch, but she actually took it out from her [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda], and then she gave the wine gourd to Xu Yang.
Don’t look at how small this wine gourd was, but it was actually also a spatial treasure, like a spatial ring and a space pouch.
Tang Li Xue obtained this wine gourd from among Grandmaster Nie Jun’s inheritance.
Tang Li Xue had filled the wine gourd with a lot of spiritual healing water from the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]’s water floor.
There should be more than enough spiritual healing water in the wine gourd for Xu Yang to bathe the Heavenly Golden Dragon.
Anyway, the spiritual healing water in the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]’s water floor will be refilled full again soon, as long as the energy from the Immortal Crystal as its core was not exhausted.
Well, as long as the Immortal Crystal was not damaged or cracked, it should be impossible for it to exhaust in the next tens of thousands of years, so Tang Li Xue did not need to worry about it.
Tang Li Xue turned around and hastily sprinted toward the first location marked by Xu Yang on the map.
Xu Yang felt even more worried and reluctant when he saw Tang Li Xue’s alluring, slender, and fragile figure from behind.
"Let’s go, young master!" Taoist Uncle called Xu Yang.
