Chapter 170: Ji Fuyao Must Be Captured!

Report! Grand Elder! Something terrible has happened! We've been tricked! That white-robed great emperor has taken action!

A black-clad man, panicking, strode into the hall and looked toward the high seat where Gu Lang Dadi sat.

Gu Lang Dadi's expression shifted slightly, "What exactly is the situation?"

The black-clad man gritted his teeth and said, "Grand Elder, this time the Seven-Star Great Emperor led the team, several High-Star Great Emperors descended, plus a dozen Low-Star Great Emperors, heading to Luo Province to capture Ji Fuyao. The result: Ji Fuyao first unleashed the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame, slaying a Three-Star Great Emperor; then that white-robed great emperor struck, using the might of the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame to blast all the great emperors present to death!"

Gu Lang Dadi frowned, "Heavenly Earth Strange Fire! Ji Fuyao actually possesses the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame?"

The black-clad great emperor said, "Moreover, it is the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame at peak condition! She withstood the backlash of the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame, suffering only grave injuries but not dying!"

Gu Lang Dadi's expression grew grave, "With such power of the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame, any other Saint King could likewise slay a Three-Star Great Emperor, though they would likely perish from the backlash. I never expected Ji Fuyao's flesh and soul to be so formidable! It seems that supreme reincarnation secret art greatly aids her cultivation in this life."

By the way, I ordered the other great emperors of the Heavenly Net Palace to withdraw!

The black-clad great emperor said in a low voice, "I have already ordered the other great emperors to retreat! With the white-robed great emperor's protection, Ji Fuyao cannot be captured. Unless you, Grand Elder, or the Palace Master take action."

Gu Lang Dadi lightly shook his head, "Me? I am no match for that white-robed great emperor! If I had already captured Ji Fuyao, I could use the three palace master edicts to hold him back and then leave. But now I cannot risk my life by venturing into the Black Flame Mountain Range."

The black-clad great emperor's body trembled, "Grand Elder, does this count as the plan having failed?"

Gu Lang Dadi's heart jolted, "Plan failed? No… let me think."

If he cannot capture Ji Fuyao, he can hardly imagine how terrifying the Palace Master's wrath would be!

After all, before coming, he had solemnly promised the Palace Master that he would certainly capture Ji Fuyao and escort her to Heavenly Net Province!

Gu Lang Dadi felt irritated inside, rose from the high seat, and began to pace back and forth in the hall.

"The Heavenly Origin Ancestor is absent; now the one we must deal with is the white-robed great emperor."

"The white-robed great emperor can instant-kill an Eight-Star Great Emperor, but I have the three palace master edicts, so I could probe a bit… No, I lack full confidence; I won't go to the Black Flame Mountain Range, for that would likely be suicide!"

"How should I break the deadlock now? If I cannot complete this task, the Palace Master will surely not forgive me!"

Gu Lang Dadi began to ponder.

The black-clad great emperor hesitated a moment and said, "Grand Elder, this matter has caused a great uproar among the provinces. I fear that if the Palace Master learns of it, she will likely blame us!"

Gu Lang Dadi flicked his sleeve and said coldly, "We have not suffered a total defeat yet. Give me time to think! Continue to gather information on Ji Fuyao, but do not take action!"

The black-clad great emperor replied respectfully, "As you command!"

Soon, the black-clad great emperor left the hall, tearing through the void as he departed.

In the depths of the hall, Gu Lang Dadi wore a sinister expression, lifted a cup of spiritual tea, was about to drink when his face suddenly turned ferocious; he crushed the spiritual cup directly and snarled, "Damn it! Now Ji Fuyao is under the white-robed great emperor's protection—must we really let the Palace Master act?"

He did not want to admit his own failure!

But things have come to this; the white-robed great emperor is absolutely not someone he can contend with!

Gu Lang Dadi's thoughts moved, and a spiritual power map appeared before him.

On the map, the Black Flame Mountain Range and the Qing Province Ye Clan were infinitely magnified.

After staring at the spiritual power map for a long time, a gleam flashed in Gu Lang Dadi's eyes.

"Qing Province Ye Clan!"

Since the white-robed great emperor is in the Black Flame Mountain Range, he therefore reversed his approach and directly seized the Qingcheng Ye Clan.

He used the Qingcheng Ye Clan as leverage against the white-robed great emperor!

At that point, if they wanted the Qingcheng Ye Clan to remain unharmed, the only option was to let Ji Fuyao alone go to Yin Province for an exchange!

If anyone other than Ji Fuyao appeared, the Qingcheng Ye Clan would be annihilated!

He would directly threaten them with the death of the Ye Clan!

A gentleman may be deceived with righteousness; this 'lure the gentleman into the jar' scheme will obviously see Ji Fuyao step in without hesitation!

"Hahahaha!"

Gu Lang Dadi laughed uproariously.

He had already found the way to break the deadlock!

However, this matter still requires careful planning; we must not let the news leak.

One day later.

The black-clad great emperor returned, re-entered the hall, and bowed respectfully to Gu Lang Dadi, "Grand Elder, Ji Fuyao has entered the Black Flame Mountain Range."

Gu Lang Dadi was leisurely sipping spiritual tea; he gave a faint smile, "Very good."

The black-clad great emperor blinked slightly.

The Grand Elder's current state is completely different from before!

Yesterday he was worried and anxious; now he feels completely at ease, as if everything is under control.

Could it be that the Grand Elder already has a countermeasure?

Gu Lang Dadi smiled without speaking, his mood excellent; he even personally poured a cup of tea for the black-clad great emperor, "I already have a plan to capture Ji Fuyao."

The black-clad great emperor took a sip of spiritual tea and said, "Thank you, Grand Elder, for the tea. Grand Elder, what is your brilliant scheme?"

Gu Lang Dadi smiled faintly, condensed spiritual power at his fingertip, and wrote the character 'Ye' in the air.

"Qingcheng Ye Clan! As long as we seize the Qingcheng Ye Clan, given Ji Fuyao's nature, she will surely come!"

The black-clad great emperor's eyes widened in shock, his heart shaken.

"Grand Elder, this plan is excellent!"

Gu Lang Dadi laughed, "However, we still need to plan further. First, we must strike with thunderous means and take away the members of the Qingcheng Ye Clan. Second, we must also prepare a retreat route."

Saying this, Gu Lang Dadi tossed out a jade slip.

The black-clad great emperor received the jade slip, infused his divine sense into it, and immediately saw Gu Lang Dadi's plan; his expression turned solemn, "Grand Elder, I will get on it right away!"

Gu Lang Dadi said, "In a few days, when Ji Fuyao begins preparing for the founding of the Fuyao Dynasty, we will strike again, catching even that white-robed great emperor off guard! Secretly monitor the Black Flame Mountain Range; first, do not startle the snake."

"As you command!" the black-clad great emperor nodded, immediately departed, and carried out Gu Lang Dadi's plan.

Gu Lang Dadi gave a cold smile; he presided over the Yin Province branch of the Heavenly Net Palace precisely because he valued this province's long-distance teleportation formation.

At that time, by forcing Ji Fuyao to enter Yin Province alone, we can then take her away directly!

Thinking of this.

Gu Lang Emperor left the hall to inspect the transmission grand formation of Dead Prefecture.

And at this time.

The matter of several high-star Emperors of the Heavenly Net Palace falling had already spread throughout all states, causing an uproar.

Ji Fuyao possessed six-star imperial weapons and the Eight Wastes Extinction Flame, causing the strong of all states to be shocked.

A mere Saint King actually possesses such supreme treasures, which simply makes many Emperors envious.

But that white-robed Emperor is too terrifying!

Who dares to kill and seize treasures?

The white-robed Emperor's battle record can be checked.

In a snap of the fingers, one can instantly kill an eight-star Emperor!

Heavenly Net Palace doesn't know how many Emperors have been buried at the hands of the white-robed Emperor!

The strong of all states discuss without cease.

"I just speculate that when Ji Fuyao went to the Black Flame Mountain Range, that white-robed Emperor was secretly protecting him! Otherwise, Ji Fuyao is a thorn in the Heavenly Net Palace's eye, a splinter in its flesh; how could the Heavenly Net Palace possibly give up revenge?"

"In that case, under the support of the white-robed Emperor, reforging the Fuyao Dynasty is already a settled matter."

"I've heard that now some mid-sized forces are preparing to ally with the Fuyao Dynasty! With the great era dawning, the Fuyao Dynasty has much to rebuild, and nothing surpasses following the dragon; now joining the Fuyao Dynasty, one can surely become its core subordinate."

"..."

This matter quickly reached the ears of Duan Hunsheng.

"In the hall, Duan Hunsheng's face was gloomy as he coldly rebuked, 'The Grand Elder is also a waste! Can't even handle this small matter! My Heavenly Net Palace may have gathered many Emperors from all states, but they're all idiots, useless!'"
