172: Isn't it amazing that you have an ancestor?

After a careful check and confirming that Tang Gao was fine, Principal Liu Lang left in a hurry.

Tang Gao took some nutrient solution and sipped it on the way. Suddenly, a spiritual thought struck him, and he turned his head to see Li Nezha, who had removed his invisibility, smiling beside him.

Tang Gao rolled his eyes, took the solution out of his mouth, and complained, "Teacher, you are truly outrageous, using me as a scapegoat."

Li Nezha clicked his tongue twice, "You don't understand. I've already had a month's salary deducted. If too much is deducted, the allocation will be less.

I just need to hide for a while. Anyway, once he gets busy, he'll probably be too lazy to dwell on this matter."

Tang Gao rolled his eyes, not wanting to bother with Li Venerable Gou Dan anymore. This disciple-pitting guy was too outrageous.

Li Venerable Gou Dan chuckled, knowing he was in the wrong, and followed along, beginning to summarize his experience: "Your Dismemberment Dao Technique is very effective. It incorporates some abilities I don't know about, capable of eroding the light on the surface of my Domain. In special circumstances, a Six-Order Great Power would definitely not dare to confront you head-on. If a Seven-Order Great Power is in a weakened state, they might even be instantly killed by you.

Of course, in front of an Eight-Order Great Power, unless they stand still as a target, you won't even have a chance to wear down their magic power.

The power of an Eight-Order Great Power is not just in one aspect, but in all aspects."

Tang Gao finished his nutrient solution, deep in thought: "Teacher, do you mean that unless I can use different methods to close the gap, I won't be able to harm an Eight-Order Great Power?"

The gap here is indeed very large, but the problem isn't that big.

Being able to inflict wear-and-tear damage proves there is room for improvement.

Li Nezha nodded, then complained again, "Why would you want to harm an Eight-Order Great Power, kid? The gap is huge, and you're still young. Don't be so impatient. The Xia Dynasty hasn't declined to the point where it needs you to step up and shoulder its burdens.

I'm already surprised that you've achieved this much.

For now, you should first Cultivate the first layer of the Dismemberment Dao Technique. What you're using is still a bit crude."

This kid relies purely on brute force, with no technique whatsoever.

The few places that did involve technique were merely transforming his power into ranged attacks.

"Alright, then I'll go familiarize myself with it."

After giving his pointers, Li Nezha flew away to help deal with the broken hole and repair the Formation.

Causing trouble is one thing, but the consequences still need to be borne.

...

Tang Gao returned to the living room, sat on the floor, and pondered what to do next.

Li Yuan had already returned to his dormitory to prepare for the afternoon classes.

"Beep, beep. Your Excellency, I have intelligence to report."

The consciousness projection of Mechanical Yuanzun appeared and summoned his other Clones.

Tang Gao was slightly surprised: "What's the situation?"

Mechanical Yuanzun snapped his fingers and displayed the intelligence he had gathered: "I used your ID card to hack into Pingdan Group and found this intelligence: Three-Leaf Clover Group headquarters sent an Ice-Type Eight-Order Great Power over, wanting to negotiate.

Liu Town and the others are trying to stabilize the situation. Should we make a move?"

The Violent Justice envoy's expression changed slightly: "They came so quickly?"

The Shennong Alchemist stroked his chin: "The location of the Three-Leaf Clover Group in Qingcheng is the lifeblood of Mountain State. It's normal for them to react so quickly from such a distance."

Destruction Magic God frowned: "How should we act? Even if we Fuse into one, there's still a huge gap between our foundation and an Eight-Order Great Power."

Tang Gao's expression was serious as he glanced at the taskbar: "This time, we must intercept them. We cannot give in, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain.

I also won't accept even a hint of retreat. The current plight of the Five Human Emperors is so tragic. Any step back now is risking the lives of hundreds of thousands of people."

Disaster was about to strike, yet too many people were still immersed in the prosperity of the Xia Dynasty.

The Three-Leaf Clover Group simply did not deserve this monopoly.

The Violent Justice envoy's eyes became serious: "Yes, only the Pingdan Group, which we've launched, can better withstand any upcoming storms. As long as we hold the power in our hands, we will have absolute say!"

The Clones looked at each other, one by one, determined that no matter how difficult this mission was, they had to complete it.

For the people, for Mountain State, for the Xia Dynasty, for themselves.

No matter the cost, they must intercept this Eight-Order Great Power!

Tang Gao stood up, his eyes shining with firm resolve: "We don't need to kill the Eight-Order Great Power; we just need to intercept him and disrupt his plan.

Accept the mission, prepare fire-element modifiers, and go all out!"

"Yes, sir!"

[Seven-Star Mission: Qingcheng Blood Disaster, Seventh Stage: The Final Strong Enemy]

[Mission Content: Ice-Type Eight-Order Great Power Zhao Yuan has been ordered to suppress the unrest in Qingcheng and rebuild the Three-Leaf Clover Group.]

[Mission Choices, choose one: Intercept / Repel / Defeat / ...]

[Mission Reward: Small World]

...

To the east of Mountain State, Zhao Yuan was accelerating through the air with a gloomy expression, furious at the Wei Family of Qingcheng's betrayal, but also well aware that the waters ran deep.

No matter what, this time the Zhao Family's wrath would be unleashed on Qingcheng, to let these local factions know the majesty of the Zhao Family.

A mere local faction dared to defy the will of the Zhao Family. They were truly courting death!

Do they really think our Imperial Bloodline was picked up off the street?!

Zhao Yuan saw a young man in black and red battle armor standing in mid-air ahead, looking at him indifferently, exuding an ominous Demonic Path aura.

Zhao Yuan frowned slightly, his Divine Thought sweeping across the surrounding world, finding no ambush. There was only a small Demonic Path rogue in mid-air.

Zhao Yuan stopped in mid-air, his expression filled with coldness: "A mere Demonic Path rogue dares to intercept the will of the Zhao Family. It seems Mountain State needs a major cleansing."

This was clearly a prepared move, and Zhao Yuan wanted to see what tricks the other party would play.

Zhao Yuan was protected by a Nine-Order Saint Venerable, so he was not afraid of any means below the Ninth Order.

Tang Gao stood in mid-air, clad in black and red evolving battle armor, his crimson cloak rustling in the wind, holding the Ren Wang Sword, his expression cold:

"Zhao Yuan, get out of Mountain State, abandon the Qingcheng plan, or bear the consequences."

Zhao Yuan laughed in anger: "A mere Fifth-Order Demonic Cultivator dares to come and deliver a message. Have your Demonic Cultivators' brains all been waterlogged?

Is that it? No substantial threat?

Was the betrayal of the Wei Family of Qingcheng orchestrated by you?

Courting death!!!"

Zhao Yuan was enraged. With a wave of his hand, space was torn apart, and bone-chilling Nether Frost Wind, enough to freeze a Soul to death, howled out from the spatial rift, instantly encasing Tang Gao in ice.

Tang Gao was instantly frozen in mid-air, unable to move, the biting cold penetrating directly into his Soul, stimulating his heart and internal organs.

Tang Gao's expression remained unchanged. Relying on 20% resilience, he couldn't help but curl his lips in a self-mocking tsk, knowing it was time to go all out.

[Infinite Evolution: Fire Element Enhancement]

Zhao Yuan was slightly stunned, looking at the self-mocking smile in the ice block, a slight chill ran down his spine, realizing something was wrong.

"Die!!!"

All fear stems from insufficient firepower.

Zhao Yuan immediately followed up with a Yin Soul Ice Cone, dark black Yin Ice spears piercing straight into the ice block to deliver the finishing blow.

Zhao Yuan was just about to deliver a few more finishing blows to utterly pulverize him when he suddenly found the Yin Soul Ice Cones in the ice block beginning to fly backward, and the surrounding space-time began to reverse.

In just an instant, Zhao Yuan was standing at his position from dozens of seconds ago. A tiny black dot, a hundred miles away, was staring at him indifferently.

Zhao Yuan didn't hesitate at all. He immediately activated his Bloodline Power and shouted, "Old Ancestor, save me!!!"

A hundred miles away, Tang Gao, hearing such a loud shout, was stunned. He looked up and saw a giant golden palm pressing down, instantly crushing his body and Soul.

In the pitch-black System space, Tang Gao stared blankly at the prompt before him.

[Victory and defeat are common in war. Young hero, please try again.]

Tang Gao immediately broke down, clutching his head and cursing: "Holy shit! Do you have any backbone?! You just come up and call your Old Ancestor to unleash a big move!!!"

Don't you want a truly satisfying one-on-one battle like a real man!!!

You cowardly trash!!!

Is it so great that you have an Old Ancestor!!!"
