Chapter 1067 - Abducting People (2/2)
“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.
