Chapter 380: Chapter 311 Protect the Calf Function_2

Li Cheng shrugged his shoulders, “I waited above for a month, but seeing that the head of the faction didn’t return and no power fluctuations were emitted, I found it strange and went down to investigate. Thereafter, I sensed the head of the faction’s presence in the transmission array.”

Li Cheng’s words made Xiao Changting’s old face turn red.

He had been trapped by that illusion array for nearly a month, and it was not easy to find his way out. Upon encountering the transmission array, he activated it and was transported here.

Considering the time difference, didn’t it mean that Li Cheng spent hardly any time to break through the array?

No wonder there were rumors of this fellow being unmatched in the three realms with his Pill Artifact Array. He, a Complete Divine King, took a month to exit the illusion array, yet this guy passed through it in just a short time—such a huge gap was simply too much!

“I thought that with the head of the faction present, there definitely wouldn’t be any problems, so I came,” Li Cheng continued.

This was the truth, but Xiao Changting’s face felt somewhat hot. If not for Li Cheng’s rescue, he might have already been done for.

However, what he really did not expect was that Li Cheng had mastered more than five percent of the Space Law. In that space, even though it was sealed by a Divine Emperor powerhouse, Li Cheng could still Instantaneously Movement with ease.

“This Confucian Divine Venerable, does the head of the faction know him?” Li Cheng asked in turn.

Xiao Changting shook his head, “I don’t know him. He must have been invited by the Mansion Venerable, given that nowadays, evil demons are converging around Fu City, and the Mansion Venerable probably can’t get away, so he had to call for external assistance.”

Li Cheng nodded silently. If so, there should be several Divine Venerable-level beings gathered in Fu City.

It could be said that they came because of him, after all, he was the source of it all.

This made him feel quite embarrassed!

Contemplating, Li Cheng felt that cultivation was the key. If he were also a Divine Venerable, would those evil demons still dare to covet him?

It’s best to find a place to strive for an improvement in cultivation, and undoubtedly, the best place was Land Puppet Mansion’s Fu City.

[Your disciple Yin Yue is in a life-and-death crisis!]

[Your disciple Duan Shuiliu is in a life-and-death crisis!]

[Do you wish to activate the “Protect the Calf” function? As the two disciples are close to each other, it can be activated at the cost of 1 Enlightenment opportunity.]

Just at that moment, the prompt sounded.

Li Cheng quickly stopped in his tracks. “Senior, I have an urgent matter and must leave first!”

Without waiting for Xiao Changting’s response, Li Cheng had already used the ‘Protect the Calf’ function and vanished in an instant.

Since arriving in the Divine Realm, the system upgrade granted four additional features: Simplified Enlightenment, Gifted Enlightenment, Disciple Exploration, and Protect the Calf. Li Cheng had only used Simplified Enlightenment before.

Unexpectedly, the second feature he’d use would be Protect the Calf!

Protect the Calf allows the system to always monitor the safety of disciples, providing an active warning in life-and-death crises. The host can expend 1 Enlightenment opportunity to instantly transport to the disciple’s side.

Currently, it seemed that Yin Yue and Duan Shuiliu were acting together and encountered a life-and-death crisis.

Looking at the spot where Li Cheng disappeared, Xiao Changting was stunned. “Is this the power of a Space Law Envoy? Instantaneous Movement that exceeds the range of my Divine Sense? Isn’t that just perverse?”

But he didn’t know that Li Cheng had used ‘Protect the Calf’ to instantly reach his two disciples.

In the Kongqian Heaven Dynasty, within Savage City, a large man in a small courtyard was channeling Divine Fire into a large tripod in front of him as if he was practicing alchemy.

However, the tripod trembled slightly as if something wanted to break free from it but was unable to overcome the suppression of the tripod.

“Idiots! This is a King Grade Divine Artifact I possess. You think you can break free? Just be good and turn into pills!” The big man said with contempt, his eyes full of excitement, “Your exceptional talents will soon be mine!”

Two days ago, the big man accidentally discovered two extraordinary talents. It happened that his tripod came with a unique Pill Recipe that used people as ingredients, along with one hundred and eight types of Divine Medicine, to refine the other party into pills.

Upon becoming pills, these Divine Pills would contain a part of the other person’s talents!

This was his first attempt at this Pill Recipe, and if successful, his talent for cultivation would skyrocket. Ascending to become a Divine Venerable or a Divine Emperor in the future was entirely possible!

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and the struggles within the tripod grew weaker and weaker.

But at that moment, a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in the courtyard.

Through the spatial fluctuation, an elegant young man appeared!

The big man was taken aback, “Instantaneous Movement? A junior Divine Monarch is capable of Instantaneous Movement?”

The newcomer was, of course, Li Cheng.

As soon as Li Cheng appeared, he immediately felt the two extremely weak auras inside the tripod!

“Damn it!”

Li Cheng’s heart tightened, and without any hesitation, his figure appeared beside the burly man, sending him flying with a punch.

Without bothering to finish off the burly man, Li Cheng hurriedly lifted the lid of the tripod, extending his Divine Sense into it.

Inside the tripod was a vast alchemy space a hundred yards across, teeming with Divine Patterns and the dance of Divine Fire. At the center of the tripod, Yin Yue and Duan Shuiliu were badly injured and weak.

If he had been a moment later, his two disciples might have been done for!

Not daring to be careless, Li Cheng gingerly activated the Life Law, enveloping the two, preparing to slowly pull them out.

“Looking for death!”

The burly man who was sent flying had steadied himself, his aura as a Divine Monarch Complete soaring to the skies, drawing his war saber, and slashing at Li Cheng’s head with lightning speed.

Without turning his head, Li Cheng waved his left hand, and the burly man felt an endless distance expanding between them, unable to reach Li Cheng no matter how he flew!

“Space extension? What terrifying spatial attainment!”

The burly man’s pupils shrank, then his eyes flickered, and the war saber cleaved through the sky, unleashing a staggering blade light.

In an instant, powerful auras rushed toward the tiny courtyard, “What’s going on? Who’s fighting in the city? Don’t they know that fighting is not allowed within the city?”

“Could it be that demons have infiltrated? Quick, go see!”

…

In the space of a few breaths, already hundreds of people had rushed to the airspace above the small courtyard, encircling it completely.

Seeing that the newcomers were almost all wearing the court’s armor, the burly man breathed a sigh of relief, then anxiously said, “My lords, this man is using evil skills and people for alchemy, he must be an evil cultivator, but I am no match for him, I could only concoct this plan to lure you here!”

Recently, a large number of evil demons attacked Savage City, drawing many powerful beings to defend it, and the Divine Dynasty’s army was encamped just outside the city.

Sensing the sky-piercing blade light emitted by a Divine Monarch Complete, the arrivals were naturally cultivators above Divine Monarch, including an early-stage Divine King general.

Li Cheng only glanced at the hundreds of people above, too busy to talk further, continuing to carefully extricate Yin Yue and Duan Shuiliu.

“My lords, this man still wants to continue, I’ll cut him down now!” The burly man feared any delay might change the situation and attacked again.

However, the situation was the same as before, he seemed to be only about ten meters away from Li Cheng, yet no matter what he did, he could not close that distance.

At that moment, Li Cheng had extracted the two, quickly activating the Chaos Yuan Heavenly Scripture to draw out the Divine Fire that had invaded their bodies.

“My lords, help quickly, if we are any later, these two are going to die!” The burly man shouted urgently.

At that moment, one of Li Cheng’s hands was pinching the back of one person’s neck, which to others looked absolutely like using the two as hostages!

“Those are two of the Demon-suppressing Envoys! Boy, release them at once!”

Above, the early-stage Divine King general was getting anxious and shouted urgently.

Under his watch, if two Demon-suppressing Envoys were lost, he might as well not be a general anymore.

Li Cheng was carefully examining the situation of the two, seeing that their bodies had already been filled with Divine Fire, it was a miracle they had survived until now.

As long as he could extract all the invading Divine Fire, they would rapidly recover. But because the Divine Fire had fused into every inch of their veins, the extraction process had to be careful, Li Cheng estimated that it would take at least the time it takes for a pot of tea to brew.

Seeing his stratagem succeed, the burly man immediately said, “Kill him quickly, otherwise those two are going to die!”

The early-stage Divine King bit his teeth, he himself was eager to act, but that youngster was threatening the lives of the two Demon-suppressing Envoys!

The moment he made a move, that youngster would probably crush them instantly.

But he couldn’t just watch helplessly as the two were refined and killed, could he?

Biting the bullet, the general drew his bow and arrow, releasing it with force, aiming directly at Li Cheng’s brow.

With a thought, Li Cheng positioned the Blunt Empty Residence in front of him, and then entered Blunt Empty Residence with the two.

The sharp arrow struck Blunt Empty Residence, failing to cause even a ripple, while the arrow itself was shattered to bits.

“What a powerful Divine Mansion!” the general exclaimed.

The burly man’s eyes lit up, but then he immediately shook his head. Now that he had successfully redirected the trouble, it would be wise to look for an opportunity to escape. As for that Divine Mansion, it was best not to be greedy.

However, it was imperative to take that great tripod with him, no matter what!

Thinking this, the burly man approached calmly, “My lords, I will keep hold of this tripod for now; the pressing matter is to break into the Divine Mansion to save them!”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the burly man felt his vision blur, and a fist grew rapidly before his eyes!
