708: Chapter 708 Tianyang's Escape from Famine

After a moment of silence, you suddenly recall a key question and ask:

"Sect Master Murong, do you have any understanding of the methods of the other strongest Mahayana? For example, how can one break the Divine Ability of the Dao of Emperor Yan and Venerable Tianming?"

Murong Changge glances at you and says slowly, "You may not know this, but the top Mahayana of each Family generally do not act lightly."

"Why?"

"Because the Divine Ability of the Dao awakened by their Physique is almost impossible to defend against." His tone sinks. "Therefore, once they use their trump cards, it will inevitably result in mutual destruction."

He pauses, then continues, "For example, Venerable Xuanyuan at the Peak of Mahayana, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword, performs the Xuanyuan Sword Art—with one strike, it can split heaven and earth, extinguish stars, cause Mahayana to perish; no one can block it."

"And there is Fairy Canglan's 'Great Dream Awakened', which ignores Divine Soul strength. In a single thought, it can easily trap and kill a Peak Mahayana, killing without a trace."

"And there is Emperor Yan's..."

"And there is the Old Dean's..."

He speaks in one breath, clearly explaining everyone's trump cards and characteristics.

Not only that, but he also explains some of the tacit understandings and rules between the five major forces, as well as the causes and consequences of many past Mahayana battles.

After listening, you nod and ask, "If I go to the other three forces this time, do you think Liu Xuerong will lie in ambush for me there?"

Murong Changge throws his head back and laughs: "Hahaha, it is highly probable. But rest assured, go ahead. Once we calculate the ambush location, we will go there in advance to wait for you."

You smile and cup your hands: "Then many thanks, Sect Master Murong."

Murong Changge waves his hand with a smile, turns, and takes his leave.

After watching him disappear, you summon Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan walks in with her head bowed, not looking at you, her body trembling slightly. She says in a low voice, "Young Master, did you call for me?"

Your brows furrow slightly—she feels different today. If it were usual, she would definitely be looking at you like a little fangirl.

You immediately move your consciousness to sense that Slave Contract mark, and you immediately understand the situation.

The mark is still there, but it has been suppressed by a hidden Restriction.

Apparently, her Slave Contract has been lifted.

No wonder she dares not look at you.

You quickly form a judgment in your heart—it is highly probable that your intervention to save the Budao Alliance aroused the suspicion of the Liu Clan, causing Liu Ruyan to be exposed and her Slave Contract to be suppressed.

It is possible that Liu Jinfeng's Slave Contract has also been lifted.

The Liu Clan did not completely remove the mark, only suppressed it with a Restriction, and did not have her return, clearly wanting her to continue lurking by your side.

You quickly recall everything—except for the time you left, which Liu Ruyan knew about, she is unaware of the matters regarding Qin Han and the three-piece set.

She should still be unable to connect you with Qin Tian.

However, even if she knew, it wouldn't matter.

After much thought, you decide to keep her by your side to make it convenient to use a counter-strategy later.

"I am going to the academy; keep an eye on the Tianhuang Continent recently," you say.

Liu Ruyan bows slightly: "Yes, Young Master."

You do not look at her again, slowly rise, and with a movement of your body, you appear in Tianyang City.

Meanwhile, in the Liu Clan Territory, inside a certain hall stand three people—Liu Tianxing, Liu Jinfeng, and Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan grinds her teeth and bursts into tears: "Old Ancestor, wuwuwu... I... I don't want to live anymore, wuwuwu..."

Her crying is heart-wrenching and soul-stirring.

Liu Jinfeng also stands to the side, her whole body trembling with anger, her teeth chattering.

The moment she thinks of herself using the creation divine nectar to brew spirit tea for you, her face turns livid, and she trembles all over with rage.

Liu Tianxing looks at the two with a gloomy face and sighs: "Jinfeng, Ru Yan, this is not the time for sadness. Remember, do not be exposed."

After returning to the clan territory, he first secretly investigated everyone, starting from all the high-level members, then to the direct line and Core Disciple.

The result was discovering that Liu Jinfeng and Liu Ruyan were indeed planted with a Slave Contract, so he immediately and quietly controlled the two and suppressed their Slave Contracts.

After their Slave Contracts were suppressed, the two recovered their senses, and their emotions collapsed on the spot.

Liu Tianxing also learned some of your situation from the two—over two hundred years ago, at eighteen years old, your strength suddenly skyrocketed, then you enslaved them, and then you disappeared for over two hundred years.

During this period, the two of them did not discover that you had the three-piece set and Qin Han.

But from Liu Ruyan, Liu Tianxing already knew that you had left a while ago, and by repeatedly connecting you and Qin Tian's relationship, he suspects that you are Qin Tian.

However, it is only a suspicion, and he has yet to reach a conclusion.

Therefore, he did not remove the two's Slave Contracts, only used a hidden Restriction to suppress them, letting Liu Ruyan continue to lurk by your side, attempting to confirm if you are Qin Tian.

If you are Qin Tian, and if you really have the immortal slaying sword in your hands, then you are not just an enemy of the Liu Clan alone.

The people and forces involved in the destruction of the Qin Immortal Clan back then will all spare no cost to eliminate you, with Venerable Tianming being the first.

On the other side,

You walk on the Teleportation Plaza in the center of Tianyang City and scan the area—it is a sea of people, crowded and noisy.

In the mid-air of the plaza, there are thousands of hundred-foot spirit boats from all directions, densely packed with people standing on them.

"What is going on? Why won't you let us leave!"

"Qi Zhengyang, if you do not open the Teleportation Array, are you not afraid that we will destroy your Qi Family?"

"Qi Zhengyang, what do you mean? Hurry up and open the Teleportation Array!"

A large number of Cultivators shout at the figure floating in mid-air—it is Qi Zhengyang.

Qi Zhengyang scans the dense crowd on the Teleportation Plaza, frowns, and says loudly, "Everyone, listen to me, the core module of the Teleportation Array was not taken by us, but by the True Spirit Immortal Dynasty. If you want an explanation, you should go find them!"

"Bullshit!" On one of the spirit boats, the Bai Family Ancestor roars, "Hasn't the Teleportation Array always been managed by your Qi Family?"

Behind him stands a group of people—members of the Bai Family, a massive crowd, at least several thousand.

Qi Zhengyang glances at him and says coldly, "Fellow Daoist Bai, do you not know who took it?"

"I don't care about that!" the Bai Family Ancestor says coldly, "The array is under your management, so you must be responsible!"

"Exactly! Solve it yourself! Hurry up and go to the True Spirit Immortal Dynasty to get the core module back, otherwise, don't think you Qi Family will get away easily!" On another spirit boat, Cao Ruide also loudly agrees.

On Cao Ruide's spirit boat, there are also thousands of people—all members of the Cao Family, and the three siblings including Cao Qingyi are also there.

Cao Qingyi steps closer and whispers, "Dad, what should we do? Why don't we just cross the starry sky directly?"

Cao Ruide frowns as he looks at his daughter and shakes his head: "It's too late."

"We also don't know when the Heavenly Palace will attack," Cao Tianxiong says in a low voice.

"Refining the core module again, even with all the Materials, will take several months," Cao Jun adds, "I estimate that by then, Tianyang Star will have been beaten into dust."

Everyone knows that crossing the starry sky is too slow. The Heavenly Palace might attack in these two days, and before they could escape very far, they would be caught in the aftermath.

The fighting between top forces has a range of impact that is not a small matter—the nearby starry sky will be annihilated.

The only way is to escape far away through the Teleportation Array.
