Chapter 366: If Jiang Chen Gets into Trouble, the Imperial House Will Cease to Exist

Next, Li Xueru laid an array, causing a slight shock in Si Tu Liang's heart.

The uniqueness of a Divine-level Array Master is evident. The skill has already merged with the body, and a casual wave makes it flow naturally.

"Si Tu Liang has seen Divine Li." Si Tu Liang does not overly claim to be a sovereign, appearing very humble.

In front of a Divine-level Strongman, his sovereign status is almost irrelevant.

Only a Divine-level being like Li Xueru can keep him on equal footing in conversation.

Li Xueru and Si Tu Liang had met many years ago, and he said bluntly, "If the sovereign has any matter, just speak it directly."

Without a major affair, Si Tu Liang is unlikely to come in person.

Si Tu Liang recounted in detail the matter concerning his daughter and Jiang Chen.

Li Xueru's expression shifted slightly: "Missing?"

Si Tu Liang nodded: "Indeed, she is missing, and the Teleportation Array has been tampered with; we cannot untangle it clearly."

"Please, sovereign, lead the way."

Li Xueru did not hesitate; regarding matters involving Jiang Chen, he naturally would not refuse.

The two transformed into streaks of light, flew toward Huang Gong, and in an instant arrived before the Teleportation Array inside the palace.

Li Xueru stepped into the Teleportation Array, pressed a remote button with one hand, closed his eyes, and sensed the surrounding flow of energy.

After a moment, Li Xueru said, "Indeed, it has been tampered with."

"The tamper is quite skillful, having completely scrambled the array's circuitry."

Si Tu Liang hurriedly asked, "Can it be untangled?"

Li Xueru let out a light laugh, "Not difficult!"

His fingers tapped repeatedly, and array runes flew into the Teleportation Array one by one.

The Teleportation Array continuously emitted a rumbling sound, shaking incessantly.

Si Tu Liang watched from the side without a squeak; each practitioner has their specialty, and he could not comprehend what Li Xueru was doing.

After only a few minutes, the Teleportation Array suddenly burst with brilliant light, humming.

Li Xueru whispered, "Done."

Si Tu Liang rejoiced greatly, "Divine Li, have you located where my daughter and Divine General Jiang went?"

Li Xueru whispered, "The last teleport…"

Then his expression changed, "It is the Fusishi Jie that your Si Tu family has guarded for generations!"

"What!" Si Tu Liang was startled, his face turning pale.

"How could it have gone there!"

"Impossible. After the Fusishi Jie was sealed, the only passage is not here."

"How could it be teleported from here?"

Si Tu Liang felt somewhat panicked.

As a sovereign and a Divine-level Strongman within the Dongzhu family, he knows the Fusishi Jie better than anyone.

The Fusishi Jie has been sealed, making teleportation there almost impossible; this defies logic.

Li Xueru continued to sense the Teleportation Array, and gradually a cold smile appeared on his face, "Clever method—using a seal‑breaking Fire Stone to briefly break the seal, and then performing a random teleport."

Si Tu Liang was stunned; a seal‑breaking Fire Stone is not a Human Race artifact, but an item of an Abyss Demon.

An object condensed from Abyssal Fire can break most sealed Barriers.

Even the seal that confines the Fusishi Jie can be shattered for an instant with a seal‑breaking Fire Stone.

In that instant, the Teleportation Array was used to fling Jiang Chen and Si Tu Yu into the Fusishi Jie.

Upon hearing this news, Si Tu Liang was completely dismayed.

The seal‑breaking Fire Stone originates from an Abyss Demon, indicating the tamper is linked to Abyss Demons.

His first thought was the Demon‑Worship Society.

There are members of the Demon‑Worship Society within the Si Tu family.

The Demon‑Worship Society has even infiltrated their Si Tu household.

Originally, the Demon‑Worship Society infiltrating legislators was already surprising enough.

Recently, it was heard that similar incidents occurred in Fortress No. 9 of the military.

Who would have thought the Demon‑Worship Society has now infiltrated their Si Tu family.

This matter is too big, so massive that he can hardly believe it.

"Divine Li, can you find out who it is?" Si Tu Liang asked without any hesitation.

Finding Si Tu Yu now is secondary; the Demon‑Worship Society issue is far larger.

As a sovereign, he still understands the priorities clearly.

Li Xueru, however, thought otherwise: "This is not urgent; I cannot run away. First tell me how to reach the Fusishi Jie; I will bring Jiang Chen back."

Li Xueru now wore a cold smile, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Your Si Tu family, what of it? It's none of his business.

The matter of Jiang Chen is what he truly cares about.

The Fusishi Jie is no good place; it is a terrifying world left from an ancient battle, and Jiang Chen falling into it is bound to be dangerous.

Si Tu Liang forced a bitter smile, "There's no way; we can't bring her back."

"Say that again?" Li Xueru's voice turned completely cold.

The aura of a Divine-level Strongman kept rising, and the temperature of the entire Huang Gong dropped sharply.

Li Xueru hadn't acted in decades; no one knows how terrifying his true power truly is.

Si Tu Liang repeatedly said, "It's true; my daughter also fell into the Fusishi Jie, and I am very anxious."

"But the Rotting Corpse Realm really… really has no way."

"Sigh, Li Xueru, come with me; you'll see at once."

Si Tu Liang stepped into the Teleportation Array, quickly inscribed a few sigils, and the two were instantly teleported to a location.

A vast underground space.

The circular space was at least five hundred meters high and over ten kilometers in diameter.

Here a magnificent array was set up, slowly operating with a humming sound.

A massive amount of elemental energy was drawn from underground and fed into the array to sustain its operation.

Li Xueru frowned, "Divine-level array?"

Si Tu Liang nodded, "It's a Divine-level array left by the seniors."

Li Xueru asked nothing further, stepped into the array, and inscribed a Rune, "Array spirit, appear!"

Every Divine-level array has an Array spirit.

The Array spirit possesses intelligence, and the higher the array's level or the longer it has been set up, the greater the spirit's wisdom.

The array before us has been in place for an unknown number of years, so its spirit must have considerable wisdom.

Within the array, a massive Light Orb materialized.

"Honored Divine-level Array Master, welcome."

"I am the spirit of the Sealing Demon Array."

Sure enough, communication was possible; its intelligence was indeed not weak.

Li Xueru asked, "What is your function?"

Array spirit: "I am responsible for guarding the Rotting Corpse Realm seal, issuing warnings, and cooperating with Human Race strongmen to block corpse incursions."

The Array spirit does not lie; though it has intelligence, it is simple.

It can only engage in simple communication and does not think proactively.

Li Xueru continued, "I wish to enter the Rotting Corpse Realm."

Array spirit: "No, the corpse bodies open once every hundred years; in the meantime the seal is impenetrable."

Li Xueru frowned, "What if I must go in?"

Array spirit: "The array will self‑destruct, all energy will reinforce the seal, and under a Half-step Super God, forced entry is impossible."

Li Xueru did not doubt the spirit's words; he could sense the terrifying energy stored in the array.

Even a Divine-level Strongman finds this energy unnerving, and its accumulation span is unknown.

If all of it is used to reinforce the seal, the Rotting Corpse Realm's seal will be as solid as gold for at least several decades.

This also counts as the last time bought for the Human Race.

Li Xueru asked further, "How long until the next portal opens?"

Array spirit: "Three years, twelve days, three hours, twenty‑one minutes and fifty‑five seconds remain."

Over three years more, even the daylilies have gone cold.

Li Xueru pondered briefly, then asked, "If someone mistakenly enters the Rotting Corpse Realm, how can they return?"

Array spirit replied, "At the center of the Rotting Corpse Realm there is an exit. If you are of the Human Race, you can return through it."

Li Xueru said gravely, "Very well, if anyone returns via the exit, inform me."

As he spoke, he sent a wisp of Spirit imprint onto the Array spirit.

The Array spirit buzzed, "Obeying your command, honored Divine-level Array Master."

Li Xueru left the array, and the Array spirit vanished with it.

The next second, murderous intent surged within Li Xueru, "Now we can deal with the matter of your family's traitors."

"Eastern sovereign, if Xiao Chen returns this time, everything will be fine; you may continue as your royal sovereign."

"If Xiao Chen gets into trouble, Shenlong Tower will descend, Hong Shen's fist, Ao God's great Blade, the army's battle formation; I doubt you'd want to see any of those."

Si Tu Liang's complexion changed drastically; the words were extremely severe.

He was almost about to say outright, "If Jiang Chen dies, the Si Tu family will be buried with him."

Si Tu Liang tried to speak, opened his mouth, but could say nothing.

He never imagined the situation could become this serious.

Li Xueru, oblivious to his mood, continued, "Xiao Chen is a disciple of mine, Hong Shen, and Ao God. Xiao Chen's elder sister is that master's disciple, the sole disciple."

"The siblings share a strong bond; even the Primordial Rune can be yielded between them."

"Xiao Chen is a Divine General, the youngest Divine General among the Human Race."

"Therefore, pray for your own blessings."

Li Xueru's words seemed self‑talk, but they were addressed to Si Tu Liang.

He made Si Tu Liang understand that the matter was far more serious than he imagined.

Speaking, a faint thread of energy materialized in Li Xueru's hand.

The thread, composed of energy, pierced space and stretched toward the distance.

"Follow this line, bring the person here, interrogate thoroughly; before Xiao Chen's case is settled, he must not die."
