Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 954 - 828: All Show and No Substance (Part 2)

The little demon cultivator, who had been drafted, quickly acknowledged, put down what he was doing, and turned to head towards the teleportation array.

"The teleportation array has malfunctioned!"

Soon, cries of panic spread throughout the small space.

Luo Nanjia immediately sprang from his chair and rushed out of the dark room. Evidently displeased with the strong light outside, he frowned and said coldly, "What’s all the shouting about? What in the world is going on?"

"All the teleportation arrays have malfunctioned; could it be from above..." Gu Yi’s face turned pale, and he hastened back to the room to activate the Eternal Mirror. At critical moments, life is worth more than immortal jade!

Pulling out a teleportation slip from his storage bag, Luo Nanjia waved it casually, but it remained inactive.

He looked up towards the bright ceiling, and his heart began to race with alarm.

"Quick! Come and see!" Gu Yi activated the Eternal Mirror, and upon aiming it at the mountainous region of the upper space, what appeared before him were green ghostly flames, and a formidable barrage, while the array still operated, controlling the stone giant to defend the position.

Looking a bit higher, although the attackers weren’t visible, a layer of raven-blue barrier could be seen, likely the object blocking the teleportation channels.

"Damn it! We’ve been exposed." Luo Nanjia’s face immediately turned grim at the sight.

Then, as if taking a calming pill, or perhaps consoling Old Gu, he said leisurely, "Interrupting teleportation artifacts consume a vast amount of resources, and they are destined not to last long.

Our arrays are top-notch. Even a cultivator at the Mahayana realm would have a tough time, especially since there are four layers of gold, wood, water, and fire below. I doubt they can gather Mahayana realm cultivators proficient in each field to besiege us.

Even if they did, it would take at least two to three days, and by then, their magical treasure wouldn’t hold up. Once it fails, we can teleport back and report in."

Gu Yi also knew that the layers of defense above were designed to buy time for the demon cultivators in the space to escape. Since the boss said there was no problem, indeed, there was no need to worry; after all, he was most careful about his life.

"But, how are we going to report back?" He was somewhat troubled; the seven-layered exquisite pagoda was severely damaged, and now that their territory was exposed, it was as good as lost. Reporting to the Demon King would surely require someone to take the blame.

Now that their lives were out of danger, their future became the most pressing concern.

A sinister look appeared on Luo Nanjia’s youthful face, "Ha, that’s not difficult. In our space, who is more suited to take the blame than her? No rush, let me think... how to nail her for colluding with foreign tribes, so that she won’t be able to rise again!"

In the not-too-distant Jiu Qing’s room, space fluctuations emitted sound waves inaudible to ordinary cultivators.

"Tsk~"

Upon hearing the familiar sound, Jiu Qing opened his eyes from cultivation and indeed saw a charming, lazy girl peering half her body out. The space turbulence blew her hair, revealing her forehead adorned with three eyes forming a petal shape, the eyes on her eartips blinking at him.

"Why aren’t you leaving yet, waiting here to die?" Jiu Mu pursed her lips and smiled, "Lazy as you are, still waiting for me to call you."

"Really discovered? Well, it doesn’t matter; it will take a few days for the demon cultivators to break through one layer at a time. Running away so early, be careful of Luo’s backfire trying to pin the blame on you."

Jiu Qing remained leisurely still, lowering his voice significantly, "Besides, about the damage to my seven-layered exquisite pagoda...there’s still no way to account for it back there, unable to withstand the scrutiny."

"If you don’t leave now, you’re doomed."

After thinking for a moment, she added, "Also, I was blamed in the past because of inexperience, doing things without knowing to preserve evidence. This time it’s different, we’ll run back to lodge a complaint to Lord Demon King that the enemy was brought in by Luo Nanjia conducting personal affairs, with great losses. Anyway, without evidence and with your memory stone, isn’t it perfect?"

"When you put it like that, it might give us an advantage." Jiu Qing retorted, "How do you know he’s definitely going to die? This place is quite sturdy, if he manages to escape and eloquently reverse the blame..."

At this, he couldn’t help but pause, "Did you meddle with it? In that case, it’s necessary to find a way to take the two supreme treasures with you!"

Stretching out his hands to reveal an eye in each palm, Jiu Mu’s nine eyes collectively rolled a white eye, "Fool, would I leave such leverage to be investigated?

I have a clear view of the situation above: ghost cultivators, demon cultivators, and a human race cultivator are gathered, at least three tribulation crossing realm are yet to strike. Are you going or not?"

With three tribulation crossing realms in action, the formation indeed showed malicious intent!

Jiu Qing didn’t hesitate, immediately he pocketed the seven-layered pagoda and jumped into the spatial rift she had torn open.

As the space fluctuation here was about to escape, the obedient Ling Di, who played the role of a dog at its master’s feet, abruptly sprang up, "Not good! There’s a demon cultivator skilled in space techniques, they’re running!"

Before the words were out, it had already torn through space leaving a remark, "Master, I’m going to chase!"

And like a wild dog off the leash, it vanished with the gust of wind.

He Miancun responded swiftly too, immediately following through the torn space, "I’ll assist!"

In an instant, the space gap closed, leaving a dumbfounded Jiang Yuan.

Hopefully, Old Dog can catch up, but if it does catch up, then it shows the opponents’ space technique isn’t all that great, still unable to make up for the missing portion.

What a hassle, space technique cultivators are indeed rare, comparing which, Xuanyuan Yangguang is genuinely a genius among geniuses, absolutely outstanding!

By this time, the Celestial’s meteor bombardment concluded.

Though it was formidable, the outcome was a draw, at least the first layer of the array wasn’t destroyed, and many armless and legless stone giants on the ground wobbled as they fell to form a series of chaotic ridges.
