In a short span of twenty breaths, Ji Tianxing found the fastest way to retrieve the divine bead.
He had to go around two divine formations and crack three divine formations to obtain the divine bead!
Of course, only a former peak Divine King like him with extraordinary attainments in the formation path could go around two supreme-grade king-level divine formations.
If it were any other Divine King, they wouldn't be able to avoid them and would have to crack five divine formations.
Furthermore, supreme-grade king-level divine formations couldn't be cracked by a Divine King.
"Although I can avoid two divine formations, it's impossible to crack three supreme-grade king-level divine formations in thirty minutes.
I have to think of a way to stall for time and not let the High Priest return too quickly. "
Ji Tianxing observed and deduced the way to crack the divine formations while thinking of a way to stall for time.
The High Priest was on his way to Xin Lan Court, so he didn't have time to think. He could only think of a simpler way in a hurry.
Therefore, he took out a transmission jade slip and sent a message to the Calm Peace Divine King.
Calm Peace Divine King was a general under Fengling Region Master. He was ordered to protect Yuwen Ji when he came to Youdu.
In the communication jade scroll, Ji Tianxing gave the order to Calm Peace Divine King.
"Godking Calm Peace, take thirty guards with you and head to Xinlan Courtyard to protect her.
In a moment, a white-haired old man would rush into Xin Lan Court.
Just say that you are under my orders to protect Miss Yingying and that no one else is allowed to enter.
You have to stall for time as much as possible, but don't get into a conflict with him because he is Miss Yingying's father.
Also, this matter must be kept a secret and not a single word can be leaked. "
Ji Tianxing's words were very serious. Calm Peace Divine King was also a retainer of Fengling Region Master and had always been loyal.
Ji Tianxing believed that after Calm Peace Divine King received the order, he would rush to carry it out as quickly as possible.
However, this wasn't enough. He took out another communication jade scroll and sent a message to another rich young master.
"Brother Mu Bai, I can redeem the three king-level divine weapons that I lost to you in a bet tonight.
Go to Xin Lan Court now. My father-in-law is there. You can ask him for it.
Of course, you have to rush there within a quarter of an hour. If you're late, there won't be any left. "
After sending out this message, the corners of Ji Tianxing's mouth curled up into a sneer as he muttered, "With these two obstacles, I should be able to delay them for an hour, right?"
However, it was still unrealistic to break three King Grade Divine Arrays within an hour.
But at least there was more hope.
After that, Ji Tianxing cast aside all distracting thoughts and focused on observing the Creation Altar, trying to deduce a way to break the formation.
…
At the same time, two groups of people were rushing towards Xin Lan Court.
On one side was the High Priest. He was anxious and worried about Yingying's safety.
However, he was still bound by the Emperor's Mandate and could not leave the Fortune Divine Palace.
Therefore, he was very low-key and cautious when he moved, afraid that he would be recognized by others.
As a result, he did not dare to fly openly. He could only pass through the dark alleys like a black shadow and slowly approach Xin Lan Court.
The other group of people was the Calm Peace Divine King and thirty guards.
After receiving 'Yuwen Ji's' order, they did not dare to delay and rushed to Xin Lan Court as fast as lightning.
Fortunately, they managed to reach Xin Lan Court in a quarter of an hour.
Then, the thirty guards spread out and stood guard outside Xin Lan Court.
The Calm Peace Divine King was clad in armor and wielding a sword as he personally guarded the entrance.
Xin Lan Court was originally a quiet residence in the midst of chaos. Usually, the door was tightly shut and no one came in or out.
In the entire residence, there were only four guards, four maids, and two female servants.
In the past month, Yingying had been cultivating in seclusion. The residence's door was tightly shut and had never been opened.
Therefore, there was no one guarding the door at night and the guards did not need to patrol.
Just as the Calm Peace Divine King and the thirty guards got into position, they saw a figure rapidly approaching from the end of the dark street.
It was a white-haired old man with bright eyes and an anxious expression. He was rushing towards Xin Lan Court at lightning speed.
'He's here!'
The Calm Peace Divine King thought to himself. His right hand gripped the hilt of his sword as he stared sharply at the white-haired old man. He was on guard.
The High Priest, who had rushed over, was clearly stunned when he saw the Calm Peace Divine King and the guards at the entrance.
He stopped in his tracks and frowned in confusion as he sized up the Calm Peace Divine King and the guards.
At this moment, he almost thought that he had gone the wrong way.
He looked up at the lintel of the entrance and saw that the words' Xin Lan Court 'were indeed written on the plaque. Only then did he walk towards the entrance.
Clang!
Seeing the High Priest approach, the Calm Peace Divine King unsheathed his sword without hesitation. He stared sharply at the High Priest and shouted coldly, "This is a private residence and no one is allowed to enter. Please leave!"
The High Priest frowned and shouted angrily, "Of course I know this is a private residence. Who are you? Who ordered you to guard here? "
Although the Calm Peace Divine King was a fourth degree realm Middle Level Divine King, he was not afraid of the High Priest's authority. He said expressionlessly, "We were ordered to guard here to protect a very important person.
You have been sneaking around and even tried to gather information. Do you dare to say that you are not someone with evil intentions?
Tell us the truth or don't blame us for taking you down and interrogating you! "
"Someone with evil intentions?" The High Priest was so angry that he almost laughed. He rebuked angrily, "I am the owner of this Xin Lan Court. Now that I want to go home, how is it someone with evil intentions?
Who asked you to guard this place? Why don't I know? "
The Calm Peace Divine King maintained his cold demeanor and said expressionlessly, "You have no right to know who we are under.
Moreover, the owner of this residence is Commandant Yan. You old liar, can you think before you make up lies? "
"…" The High Priest was so angry that he stomped his feet. He wished he could slap the Calm Peace Divine King to death.
He was in a hurry to enter the courtyard to see Yingying but the guards at the entrance made things difficult for him.
What the hell was going on?
No, I have to stay calm and not waste any time.
With that thought, the High Priest suppressed his anger and explained patiently, "I am Commandant Yan's friend. I have an urgent matter to look for him. Get out of the way!"
Unexpectedly, the Calm Peace Divine King's expression became even more contemptuous. He blocked in front of him and sneered, "You just said that you are the owner of Xin Lan Court and now you say that you are Commandant Yan's friend.
Moreover, Commandant Yan is clearly in Soaring Wind Region and not here.
Old man, you are full of lies and full of loopholes. You must be up to no good! "
"…" The High Priest was completely speechless.
At this moment, he really wanted to throw caution to the wind and knock the Calm Peace Divine King and the guards unconscious.
However, logic told him that he could not do so.
Because someone who could order a Middle Level Divine King to guard the door was definitely a top notch expert.
Moreover, the other party was under orders to protect Yingying so the High Priest had no reason to attack.
