Chapter 1067: Abducting People

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
The battle at Lihe City could be said to have swept up all the core troops from various rebelling forces. Thereafter, it was a smooth-sailing journey as the lost territories in various parts of the south were re-conquered.
This was a true case of resurgence. Even he might have a chance to have his name left behind in history books.
At the thought of this, Eunuch Wang could not help but feel excited.
However, just as he was dreaming about the great future, the space behind Eunuch Wang’s head suddenly shattered and a hand grabbed out fiercely. Eunuch Wang was pulled into the spatial cracks, after which he disappeared.
Wang Tian led the Sharp Swords troop and kept on spewing out deathly sparks from their rifles. However, after the allied forces crumbled, they stopped shooting.
Although they had many bullets stored in the exoskeleton armor, it would still take some time for the rifle barrels to cool down.
Thankfully, the situation had become hopeless for the allied forces. Over 100,000 soldiers started fleeing, and there was no longer any need to give chase.
Looking at the crumbling army, the entire Sharp Swords troop cheered.
In such a great war, even they were not sure how many people they had killed. However, it was without a doubt that, aside from Zhao Yinglan, they were the ones with the greatest merit.
Everyone cheered loudly, and there were even people who threw away their helmets or shot toward the sky as they thought of the rewards the imperial court would bestow them with.
However, at that moment, the space suddenly shattered, and a spatial crack that was two-meter-long suddenly appeared behind Wang Tian. In the blink of an eye, Wang Tian was drawn into the bottomless darkness, disappearing completely.
With Wang Tian’s disappearance, the remaining member of the Sharp Swords troop immediately let out a series of gasps as they started to search for their team leader’s whereabouts.
However, when faced against the means of shattering void space, their efforts were destined to be futile.
In the sky, the Crown Princess revealed a savage smile. “Excellent. To think that someone dares to abduct people right in front of my eyes…? Are they treating me as dead?”
She immediately wanted to make a move but was stopped by Fang Xingjian.
The Crown Princess immediately glared at Fang Xingjian.
She had always wanted to seek revenge on Xiao Shen and the people from the Three Mountains Four Peaks. This time around, the other party had abducted two of their subordinates, making it a great opportunity for her.
After all, these two subordinates were not heaven-blessed cultivators, so she could use Sudden Inspiration to locate their whereabouts.
Fang Xingjian ignored the pernicious aura in the Crown Princess’ eyes, shook his head, and said, “Leave this matter to me. You won’t be able to make a move even if you go anyway.”
When Fang Xingjian said that she would not be able to make a move, the Crown Princess immediately calmed down and said unhappily, “Then how are you planning on dealing with them?”
“Before I’ve comprehended the profoundness behind the Great Dao’s Testimony, it won’t be a good idea to make a move on them directly,” Fang Xingjian said. “But don’t worry, once we can make a move, I’ll leave them for you.”
The Crown Princess clenched her small fists and swung them in the air unhappily. “Hmph, you said this yourself.
“Damn it. This world is really troublesome. We could just clench them to death with just one hand yet we still have to hold reservations over this and that.”
“You’re wrong. We don’t have an absolute advantage in terms of our strength,” Fang Xingjian said. “In fact, our real opponent has never been these heaven-blessed cultivators. Our opponent is this world’s will.” That huge human silhouette that seemed to penetrate through the heaven and earth once again flashed in his mind.
“Our real opponent is this world’s will. The heaven-blessed cultivators are merely his subordinates. It’s just like how we have the imperial court’s army in our control. Right now, it’s just a battle between the subordinates of both sides. It’s far from the time for us to make a move.
“You feel that you aren’t able to go all out, but when has this world even gone all out?”
Hearing Fang Xingjian’s words, a hint of contemplating gleamed in the Crown Princess’ eyes.
Fang Xingjian looked at the battlefield below his feet and said calmly, “You continue watching over the army. The Three Mountains Four Peaks won’t make a move on them within a short period of time. You can take this opportunity to take back the lost territories.”
Recovering the territories and building the country could help Fang Xingjian to strengthen his Dragon Qi and cultivate the Royal Heavenly Great Art.
Furthermore, it would also give him access to more resources which he could use to raise his subordinates’ battle prowess in preparation for the future battles.
During the time Fang Xingjian and the Crown Princess were talking, Wang Tian and Eunuch Wang had both been brought to a mountain by Xiao Shen.
Although the scene before them was pitch-black, their armor were both equipped with night vision abilities, so it was not a problem for them. However, there were no exits to this cave, and the two of them exchanged dismal glances.
At that moment, Xiao Shen’s voice rang out in the cave, “This is an underground cave under the Juyang Mountain 1 . Without me, you won’t be able to leave this place.”
“Who are you?” Eunuch Wang said angrily. “Do you know who you’ve abducted? Do you want to make enemies with the imperial court?”
“Hahahaha,” Xiao Shen laughed, “Don’t think that the imperial court will be free from worries just because you’ve won against the feudal vassals. That Fang Xuan kid won’t be able to have his way for long.”
“How dare you!” Hearing the way the other party had address His Majesty, Eunuch Wang’s countenance changed drastically. How could he possibly allow someone to show such great disrespect toward His Majesty? He immediately charged out in the direction the voice came from, but other than the rocky walls, he did not come into contact with anything else.
“It’s useless. I’ve only sent my voice over. You won’t be able to touch me.” There was a hint of pride in Xiao Shen’s voice. “Even the young Emperor whom you revere like a god won’t be able to do anything to me, let alone you.”
Wang Tian and Eunuch Wang did not say anything. Instead, they attempted to think of ways to leave this place.
However, even after searching for over an hour, they were still unable to find any path out of this place. There was only extremely sturdy rocky walls in all directions.
After attempting all sorts of methods, Eunuch Wang started to try blasting through the entire rocky layer
The photon cannons on his shoulders opened up. Fearing that a cave-in would occur, he shot out a beam with the lowest yield. As the entire cave tremored, the rock layer opened up slowly.
However, only a small hole that was 30 meters deep was produced. The two of them were still unable to find any exit. If they were to continue digging, there would be the danger that the entire place could cave in on them. Moreover, Eunuch Wang’s Universe Knight system—which was the lower specifications version—had depleted a lot of its energy and was only left with less than 30%.
Just then, Xiao Shen’s voice rang out once again, “I told you, it’s useless. This place is at least 1,000 meters away from the surface. Moreover, there’s still the Juyang Mountain that has a height of 2,000 meters above it. Without my help, its impossible for you to leave this place.”
After trying for so long, even though the two of them were still unable to understand how Xiao Shen had pulled this off, they understood that what he said was right. Even if they were to deplete their armors’ energies fully, it would still be impossible for them to leave.
Moreover, after depleting their armors’ energies, their chances would be even lower.
Eunuch Wang said with a calm expression, “Trapping us here but not killing us… What on earth is your goal?”
Xiao Shen smiled without saying another word. His goal was naturally these new weapons the imperial court had developed, but he could not bring them back directly.
