Chapter 1309: Lying Low for a While (First update, requesting everything)

Judging from the feedback of his Mental Power, two points of light on the opposite side suddenly vanished; it was clear this wave of attacks had achieved good results.

Before the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor could catch up, Li Zhangsheng and Wudi finally broke free from the Imperial Capital's perimeter; they could clearly feel that the surrounding space had become significantly more fragile.

"Go!"

Li Zhangsheng threw out a Pocket Golden Bridge, and instantly, a golden bridge spanning heaven and earth emerged. Both of them and their many Demon Pets stepped onto it together and vanished in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, they had shifted a thousand miles away, yet they were still within the borders of the Mucang Empire.

However, at this very moment, the space not far away shattered, the Green Lotus Cloud Boundary Flag emerged, and the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor stepped out with their Demon Pets.

As both were space-type treasures, even though the Space Golden Bridge was more specialized in Space Shift, it was ultimately a grade lower than the Green Lotus Cloud Boundary Flag and inevitably paled in comparison.

Li Zhangsheng now had two choices: first, obstruct the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor for a few breaths; second, use the Exotic Treasure Burial Technique to burn the Space Golden Bridge.

As for transforming into Dijiang to flee, Li Zhangsheng had not considered it; there was no help for it, as the Dijiang Essence Blood he had absorbed was limited, and his shifting speed was actually inferior to the Space Golden Bridge, let alone the Green Lotus Cloud Boundary Flag.

Li Zhangsheng immediately abandoned the first choice; even if he were to use the Purple Extreme Golden Palace Starry Sky Crown again, it would likely be of no avail.

Just a moment ago, he had caught the opponent off guard, but now that they were prepared, it was impossible to achieve the same effect again.

Hesitation leads to disaster; Li Zhangsheng had no choice but to grit his teeth and resolutely burn the Space Golden Bridge.

Not giving the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor a chance, the entire golden bridge began to burn fiercely, and the two of them stepped into it once more.

The burning Space Golden Bridge temporarily possessed the might of a Langhuan Supreme Treasure, and crucially, it was more specialized in shifting than the Green Lotus Cloud Boundary Flag; unless the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor had an even better method, it was impossible for them to catch up.

In an instant, the two not only shifted out of the Mucang Empire's territory but also left the Central Region, arriving at a place not far from the Tianling Empire.

Given that Wudi had been severely wounded and Li Zhangsheng's five Demon Emperor Level Demon Pets would struggle to recover their combat strength in the short term, the two naturally leaned toward lying low for a while.

As for seeking temporary refuge with other Ninth-Rank Demon Tamers, the two did not even consider it; human hearts are unpredictable, and neither wanted to entrust their lives to the moral integrity of others, especially since they were currently in a weakened state—they were practically two walking treasures.

Even though Wudi was on good terms with Wendi and the Thunder Emperor, he had no intention of seeking refuge; currently, the only person he trusted was Li Zhangsheng, after all, his life had been saved by him.

Li Zhangsheng flicked his hand, and dozens of Communication Jade Slips scattered and shot out, flying through the air toward their respective targets before vanishing in an instant.

This time, Li Zhangsheng needed to lie low and could no longer look after his clansmen and confidants; he could only let them hide on their own, and whether they could survive this tribulation would depend on their own fortune.

Just like Li Zhangsheng, Wudi also activated quite a few Communication Jade Slips.

Li Zhangsheng and Wudi exchanged a glance, and before the Space Golden Bridge collapsed, the two stepped into it once more and vanished.

By the time the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor arrived at this location, a full ten breaths of time had passed.

The next moment, Li Zhangsheng and Wudi appeared in the Yecheng Imperial Palace of the Langya Kingdom.

Zuo Qiulin and Shi Da were in the Imperial Palace, and when the two appeared, they could not help but be stunned, mainly because of Wudi beside Li Zhangsheng.

They had never seen the Three Sovereigns and Six Emperors, but they had seen their portraits, so they recognized Wudi immediately.

It was just that Wudi's appearance was far too miserable; not only was his face as pale as gold paper, but there was also an exaggerated, gaping hole in his chest and abdomen, making him look utterly wretched.

"Time is limited, follow me!"

Li Zhangsheng did not explain to them and immediately brought them to Chongning Hall.

His plan was simple: to head to the Dawn Plane to lie low for a while.

Although the Human Emperor had long laid out plans in the Dawn Plane and even had the God of Gloom, who possessed weak Divine Power, Li Zhangsheng did not feel panicked; not to mention that it would take time for the Human Emperor, the Phoenix Emperor, or the God of Gloom to find them, even if they were found, Li Zhangsheng, who possessed the Xuan Kun Creation Stele, might not necessarily fear them.

However, it was best to be cautious; after all, the Human Emperor was an old immortal who had attained the Dao for nearly ten thousand years, with a very deep foundation; he might even have treasures or divine abilities similar to the Xuan Kun Creation Stele.

"Let's go!"

Li Zhangsheng stepped into the Teleportation Array without hesitation, and Wudi, Zuo Qiulin, and Shi Da all followed him in.

Even if their territories might be occupied by the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor, as long as they were still alive, they could take them back at any time.

In the blink of an eye, the four appeared in the Dawn Plane—the Underdark—the Yasi City-State—on the outskirts of the capital.

Crack— Crash—

Li Zhangsheng destroyed the Plane Teleportation Array with a sword strike, then quickly brought the three into the capital of the Yasi City-State and, under the astonished gaze of Ge Liedi, destroyed the Plane Teleportation Array located in the Imperial Palace as well.

In this way, even if the Human Emperor and the Phoenix Emperor had methods to lock onto their coordinates, it would likely be of no use in the short term; at the very least, they would need a few days to catch their breath.

These few days were very precious; Li Zhangsheng and Wudi had to recover their combat strength as quickly as possible so that they would have the power to fight, unlike now, where they did not even have half of their usual strength.

However, in this Underdark, even if the two had not yet recovered, there were no existences that threatened their lives, so they could recuperate in peace.

After settling down, Wudi began to express his gratitude.

"Brother Li, if you hadn't disregarded your own safety to save me this time, the world would likely no longer have a Wudi. A life-saving grace cannot be repaid; a thousand words cannot express my gratitude. I will only say one thing: from now on, whenever you have a command, I will be there at your call."

Wudi lowered his posture; although Li Zhangsheng was not an Emperor, he was better than an Emperor, and even in his prime, Wudi feared he might not have been able to defeat him.

"Your Majesty Wudi, there is no need to be so polite."

"Don't, absolutely do not call me Your Majesty. In front of you, what right do I have to call myself Your Majesty? My surname is Su, given name Lie; you can just call me Su Dage."

"Alright, Su Dage, what are your thoughts now?"

Li Zhangsheng did not stand on ceremony either; it was just a form of address, after all.

"What other thoughts could I have? Everything must wait until I heal my wounds first. If possible, I also need to contract four Demon Emperor Level Spirit Beasts to replenish my strength as soon as possible."

This time, Wudi had suffered heavy losses; not only was he severely wounded, but he had also lost four Demon Emperor Level Demon Pets, including that Demon Emperor Level Black Turtle.

It was precisely by relying on that Demon Emperor Level Black Turtle that Wudi was able to hold out until Li Zhangsheng's rescue, but in the end, he was still caught by the Human Emperor's Demon Emperor Level Feilian, which seized the opportunity to bite the turtle's head, ultimately causing it to die from its heavy wounds.

"Su Dage, I have a special technique here that might be able to speed up your recovery."

Li Zhangsheng did not hoard it; now that he and Wudi were completely on the same side, only by letting Wudi recover as quickly as possible could they better prevent crises.
