Chapter 760: Section 548: The Descent of the Divine Country
Duelist Divine Country.
Summit of Anqiu.
Part of the tombstones twinkled faintly, with duelists from all over the Kingdom communicating through prayers across different locations.
Yijiu’s cries for help astonished everyone.
After a brief awkward silence, everyone started to inquire where Yijiu was currently.
Yijiu reported his location, "It’s the Half-plane of Shuanglian! She ambushed me and captured me into the Half-plane."
"I have been fighting for two days and nights, and absolutely cannot find an exit."
"Only external assistance can break the perilous situation I am in now."
Yijiu tried to remain calm, rapidly explaining what had happened.
He originally had no chance to pray, but Shuanglian, wanting to instruct Bu Quan and let him gain real combat experience, greatly reduced the pressure on Yijiu.
This opportunity allowed Yijiu to contact others.
"Isn’t Shuanglian an Alchemy Mage? How can her combat power be so strong?" Zhu Gan expressed his confusion.
Snow Ball said, "I happen to know some specifics. Shuanglian left the Royal Capital a few days ago, and before she left, she had conflicts with some mages of the Alchemy Guild."
"When she left, she took the Mage Tower with her."
"Now, the Honey Snow Tower stands at the docks of Snowbird Port."
Hearing this, Yijiu realized, "With the Mage Tower, no wonder when the spatial fluctuations occurred, they were so fast and intense, I couldn’t react in time and was captured into the Half-plane."
Zhu Gan continued, "Yijiu is currently inside Shuanglian’s Half-plane and is not facing the Mage Tower. Logically, he is a Gold Level assassin, perfectly countering mages."
Yijiu felt like crying, "To assassinate a mage, I also need to find her real physical body."
"But from the moment I fell into the Half-plane until now, I have been subjected to various magic attacks."
"The magic power is almost all at the Gold Level, and I am continuously pursued by Gold Level Snow Elements."
"I can’t find Shuanglian’s real body at all."
"I deeply suspect that her corporeal body is still stationed in the Mage Tower, attacking me continuously through remote control of a Magic Array!"
Yijiu, with his extensive combat experience, guessed the truth.
Yijiu said outright, "I have no way to break through the space to find Shuanglian’s body."
"I can’t hold on much longer, I must get reinforcements!"
"Mei Lin, where did you vanish to? Come out quickly."
Gudong said, "I know you are in a hurry, but please hold on. I have already used other channels to urgently notify Lady Mei Lin."
Gudong was a retired soldier and had communication channels with Mei Lin, already aware of the sudden operation of Yijiu and the others.
In fact, he had volunteered to join the battle, but Mei Lin had declined.
Gudong’s identity was cumbersome.
Once his identity was exposed, it would be highly problematic.
Yijiu roared, "Hurry up, contact her as quickly as possible! This is not the same as our previous deal! I..."
Yijiu’s mental fluctuations suddenly stopped, and contact was lost.
A new wave of silence at the peak of Anqiu.
"Did he... die?"
"It can’t be that bad, Yijiu is an agile fighter, and he sounded quite spirited just now."
"To be exact, he was very angry!"
The next moment, Yijiu’s mental wave came through again, "I just heard it, did someone say I died?"
"Ah! Who cursed my death? Stand out!"
Just now, Yijiu was attacked again and had to concentrate on the battle, momentarily giving up mental communication.
Everyone: "..."
"Okay," Mei Lin’s voice came through, "Yijiu, report your current specific situation."
"You finally came!" Yijiu said angrily, "The remuneration you gave me is not enough to make me risk my life! The situation now is, I’m trapped."
"You must send someone to rescue me, otherwise, I’ll expose you all!"
Mei Lin sneered, "Yijiu, you’d better watch your tone."
"The reason you are trapped is that you were unprepared in combat and got captured into the Half-plane."
"Clearly, conventional methods cannot help you deliver messages out, and the rescue forces you can rely on are only us."
This was true, and Mei Lin showcased the tough demeanor of a soldier.
Then, Mei Lin added, "However, the intensity of the combat we agreed upon originally wasn’t this severe."
"After this battle, we will double the previously agreed remuneration as compensation."
Yijiu held back his anger, "No amount of money is valuable if I don’t survive to spend it."
"Stop this nonsense, okay? Send someone to rescue me!"
"How to rescue? He is in a Half-plane after all," Zhu Gan said.
Gudong then said, "The difficulty of support is indeed high, but it’s not impossible. We can pray and ask for the Divine Country to descend!"
"You mean..." Snow Ball pondered, "Theoretically, this is completely feasible!"
Zhu Gan exclaimed, "I get it, just like not long ago, Ice Eagle prayed and sent Teng Donglang’s body back for burial in Anqiu. They could transport to the Divine Country of Anqiu because the Divine Country descended."
At that time, Ice Eagle, Spring Boxer prayed successfully, causing part of Anqiu to descend upon Flower Skirt Island.
During this process, Shuang Tu’s arrangement played a role, allowing the Divine Country’s scope to expand and encompass Lan Zao among others.
When a part of the Divine Country returned, it took many people back with it.
Mei Lin said, "The Divine Country is the realm of the gods. Theoretically, the Divine Country can descend anywhere on the Main Plane."
"After the Divine Country descends, we can return to Anqiu through the Divine Country. Alternatively, we can do the opposite and use the Divine Country’s descent to teleport to other places for strong support!"
"That’s right, exactly like that!" Yijiu exclaimed joyfully, "This method is really good."
Zhu Gan hesitated, "Descending the Divine Country isn’t so easy."
"Previously, the reason Ice Eagle succeeded was because Teng Donglang’s body needed to be sent back, which was beneficial for the Divine Country. Therefore, they hardly had to spend any Divine Grace."
"This time, your support wants to engage in combat, which will definitely consume a lot of Divine Grace. Even after praying, it’s not certain that the Divine Country will descend."
Praying does not guarantee the stability of Divine Arts.
Yijiu became frantic, "Is this a matter of Divine Grace?"
"If I die, none of you will have it easy."
"Mei Lin, before I die, I’ll expose all of you. And Zhu Gan, you people, I’ll expose you all, including the truth about Anqiu!"
These words immediately elicited many cold snorts and displeasure.
"Yijiu, you better understand what you’re saying!"
"It doesn’t matter, even if everything is exposed, what can be done?"
"Hmph, Yijiu, I thought you were a man, but it turns out you’re so afraid of death!"
Yijiu irately yelled, "I don’t care what you say or how you see me!"
"I’m just trying to save myself!"
"I shouldn’t die, I shouldn’t have taken this damned job!"
"Calm down, Yijiu," Mei Lin said coldly, "I will organize a rescue team for you."
"Using the method of the Divine Country’s descent!"
"But before that, please hang on."
"If you die, we won’t have a precise coordinate, and we cannot directly descend to the Shuanglian Half-plane!"
Yijiu took a deep breath, "Then you better hurry up, the faster the better. I..."
This time, it wasn’t Yijiu who cut off contact, but Mei Lin who directly retracted his spirit and exited the communication.
White Hair Sea Trench.
Cang Xu returned.
Along with him, a large number of Charming Blue Sect believers also returned.
After returning, the believers thanked Cang Xu, some even knelt before him on the spot.
In their memories, it was Cang Xu who led them in prayer and deepened their faith, key to their miraculous return!
"Stand up, everyone, preaching is the ability granted by my Lord, and it is my honor," Cang Xu said with a smile, proud and arrogant as a missionary of the Charming Blue Sect.
With these believers, Cang Xu even gave a brief speech, effectively boosting his presence and expanding his influence among the Charming Blue Sect believers.
Fin Spirit and ship ghost stood outside the crowd, watching from a distance.
Fin Spirit coldly said to the ship ghost, "Sir, the Little Prince did not return; he’s dead!"
"I strongly suspect Xu Jia had the ability to save him, but did not genuinely assist."
Fin Spirit and Cang Xu were very hostile, seizing this opportunity to discredit Cang Xu.
The ship ghost openly displayed his disappointment.
The Little Prince had not come back.
This cost him a capable subordinate, and the progress of memory modification would slow considerably.
Cang Xu gave a nod to the duo from afar, then turned to look at Zhou Zhang.
"Mr. Zhou Zhang," Cang Xu bowed to Zhou Zhang at the altar, "I have some matters to consult with you about!"
Zhou Zhang was very pleased with Cang Xu.
Saving so many Charming Blue Sect believers was undoubtedly Cang Xu’s merit.
Without Cang Xu, a normal Blood Sacrifice Transmission would have brought back only one-third of the people present.
The absence of the Little Prince also disappointed Zhou Zhang.
After all, she had hoped that other Undead Mages, emulating Cang Xu’s success, could also become special missionaries within the Charming Blue Sect.
Indeed, Cang Xu could’ve done it, but he still confined the Little Prince in the Long-Horned Cage.
Because having a second preaching Undead Mage would definitely diminish Cang Xu’s own value.
Now, he was the only option, maintaining his high value in the eyes of Zhou Zhang and others.
Cang Xu requested a private consultation with Zhou Zhang, who agreed and took him to a secluded corner.
Just the two of them.
Cang Xu then took out a Holy Image of the Charming Blue, telling Zhou Zhang: Originally this was a mundane item, but it underwent a mutation, becoming a Silver Level Holy Artifact.
Zhou Zhang held the Holy Image in both hands, examining it with delight for a while before returning it to Cang Xu, "To have received the Holy Image is a tremendous honor."
"This is a reward from our Lord, continue preaching and perhaps you will receive Divine Favor!"
Cang Xu inquired further: How did this happen? The idea of transcending the mundane greatly surpassed his understanding.
As a Mage, he was clear that mundane and transcendental are different concepts. Ordinary materials could never forge Extraordinary Items!
Zhou Zhang smiled and revealed a secret, "It’s understandable that you didn’t know."
"Do you think you were just inside the Ocean Nest when transported?"
Cang Xu looked puzzled.
Zhou Zhang asked, "Do you know about ’Descending of the Divine Country’?"
