An army encircled them for the kill

Lu Jingren laughed and said, "The Shadow Cult has the Heaven-Escaping World-Breaking Shuttle. This treasure can pass through the Void Realm and directly enter the Exquisite World. When World-Breaking, it is almost silent. Many Sect in the Upper Thirty-Six Realms have suffered losses because of them. In the Qian Yuan Realm, only Gu Yuanqing is Celestial Person, but he has only had the Slanting Moon Token for two years. I'm afraid he can hardly detect the changes in that Borderlands."

Cao Rui shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily true. This person cultivates the Path of Incense and Fire, which has a Divine Intent connection with believers. If believers in Borderlands regions burn incense and kowtow, they might be able to send this message back."

Lu Jingren said, "That would be best. If we were to notify them, the traces would be too obvious, and they would inevitably notice something. We will still have to deal with them in the future, so it's better to avoid trouble if we can."

The two chatted leisurely, planning their future affairs in the Qian Yuan Realm after seizing the Qian Yuan Token.

Finally, Lu Jingren smiled and said, "I congratulate you in advance, Brother Cao. If this plan succeeds, it will be a great contribution to the tower and you will surely be richly rewarded by the tower master. If you can obtain a few Upper-Grade Profound Tier Dao Soul, then you will have a chance to become Celestial Person! Don't forget me then."

Cao Rui laughed loudly, "It's too early to say. Even if one obtains the Dao Soul, it doesn't necessarily mean one can become Celestial Person. Speaking of which, that guy surnamed Gu is quite lucky; he actually became Celestial Person Being in this Floating World."

"He must have received fortuitous opportunity the Heavenly Ladder."

As the two were talking, the Token on Cao Rui's body suddenly trembled.

Cao Rui held the Token in his hand, but no information came from it, and the Token fell silent. Cao Rui tried to activate his Token, but there was no response.

Cao Rui's expression changed. "Something's happened!"

"What's wrong, Brother Cao?" Lu Jingren asked.

"I don't know. Gu Zihao's communication Spirit Talisman seems to have been shattered. I have to go check it out," Cao Rui said.

"Brother Cao, wait a moment. Gu Zihao is in the Imperial City and is at the Divine Platform Ninth Layer. In this Qian Yuan Realm, I'm afraid only the Great Qian Dynasty would dare to make a move against him. Although Brother Cao's cultivation is high, there are Formation in the Imperial City. It would be too risky to rush in." Lu Jingren stopped him.

Cao Rui's expression was grim. "The Great Qian Dynasty, they dare to lay a hand on my Ten Directions Misty Rain Tower?"

"Why wouldn't we dare? These people are ignorant and arrogant, relying on the presence of Celestial Person to protect them. They act recklessly. Weren't the members of the Qilin Society suppressed and sent out of the Beyond the Boundary back then?" Lu Jingren said.

"But we can't ignore Gu Zihao's accident." Cao Rui frowned.

"Why don't I go and take a look first? If he hasn't returned within an hour, Brother Cao, please report this news to the Tower through the Ancient Realm first," Lu Jingren said in a deep voice.

Cao Rui patted Lu Jingren on the shoulder. "Then be careful."

Lu Jingren nodded and was about to ride the Sword Light away, but after flying a hundred feet, he suddenly stopped.

In the distance, streaks of light roared in from mid-air.

Cao Rui also spotted the approaching figure in the distance, and leaped into the air, reaching a height of a hundred feet.

Cao Rui remained silent. He looked around and found that there were more than a thousand Cultivator in total, all of whom were at the Divine Platform Realm. Their origins could be discerned from the faint golden light shimmering on their Battle Armor.

The Jinwu Guard did not charge forward, but instead surrounded the Ten Directions Misty Rain Tower's Residence from a distance.

Further out, there were many more Divine Platform Cultivator, who were from the Heavenly Policy Mansion.

Cao Rui's face was grim. Seeing this scene, how could he not know that the Great Qian Dynasty was preparing to attack him? His mind raced, wondering if the Shadow Cult World-Breaking and the Great Qian Dynasty had deduced that it was his Ten Directions Misty Rain Tower acting as an inside agent?

Cao Rui remained still, but he had already activated the Law Seals, thus activating the Formation at his Residence.

His gaze fell into the distance.

A Flying Boat slowly approached from there.

Imperial Guard guards stood on both sides of the Flying Boat.

Li Chengyi stood at the bow of the boat.

Li Guanrong stepped behind him and said, "Father, it's just a matter of capturing a few people. With Great-Grandfather and a few seniors here, there's no need for you to take action personally."

The Little Fox, Su Xuexin, stood obediently to the side and nodded, saying, "Xiao Guanrong is right, Cheng Yi. You are the emperor. You can leave these things to others. If all else fails, I will take action. I have Law Treasure that my mother gave me. I've seen that Cao guy; he's not very strong. I'll definitely be able to take him down for you."

When Li Guanrong heard the words "Little Guanrong," his face darkened, but with his father in front of him, he couldn't say anything.

Li Chengyi glanced at them and smiled, "Don't underestimate our opponent. The Ten Directions Misty Rain Tower is a major force in the within the Exquisite World. The manager who oversees the area is close to the Void Heaven Peak, and he must have some treasures in his possession. Moreover, this is the first real action taken by our Great Qian. Other Outer Realm are watching, so we can't afford any accidents."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, all in one look!

The Flying Boat moved slowly forward, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the Ten Directions Misty Rain Tower Residence.

Cao Rui's gaze fell on the bow of the ship, and he said with a blank expression, "Emperor of the Great Qian, may I ask what brings you to my Ten Directions Misty Rain Tower Residence?"

"You audacious scoundrel! How dare you disrespect His Majesty? You're asking for trouble!" Commander Gongsun Jing of the Jinwu Guard shouted sternly.

Cao Rui scoffed. In the past, he was quite polite even to Crown Prince Li Guanrong, but that was because he was doing business in Great Qian and had to maintain appearances. But now that they were surrounded by an army, they were enemies. Void Heaven Great Cultivator, he would not lower himself or lower his status.

Li Chengyi wasn't Life Essence. In the Cultivation World, strength was paramount. He was only at the Void Heaven Initial Stage, so it was normal for Cao Rui to be arrogant. He said calmly, "All land under heaven belongs to the king, and this is also my territory. What's wrong with me coming here?"

Cao Rui sneered, "Since you have already promised this place to be the Residence of my Ten Directions Misty Rain Tower and signed a contract, then this place belongs to the Ten Directions Misty Rain Tower. Now you are besieging my Residence without cause. Where is the credibility of your Great Qian Dynasty?"

Li Chengyi stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at Cao Rui, and said indifferently, "If your Ten Directions Misty Rain Tower had abided by the laws and regulations in my Qian Yuan Realm and conducted business in peace, then I would naturally have honored the contract. But you harbored treacherous intentions and brought the Shadow Cult into my Qian Yuan Realm. Your intentions are despicable. If I do not kill you today, it will be difficult to uphold the laws of my Great Qian."

Cao Rui's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm. "Shadow Cult? I have no idea what you're talking about. If you're going to frame me, you can Great Qian find a reason. If you, Great Qian, want to convict me, you should at least provide evidence. Otherwise, how can anyone believe it? My Ten Directions Misty Rain Tower is not one to be bullied."

Li Chengyi laughed loudly, "You all think your actions are flawless, but little do you know that the net of heaven is vast and its meshes are wide, yet nothing escapes it. Your Misty Rain Tower may indeed be a powerful force, but my Qian Yuan Realm is not a place where you can run wild!"

Cao Rui's face darkened. "You'd better think this through before you act, otherwise even if there are Heavenly Human in this realm, your Qian Yuan Realm cannot bear the consequences!"
