The rescuer was a person named Guo Yanting.
Du Qiao was also forced into a corner by Nan Bo. He had no way of bringing Shangguan Qing to Nan Bo, and he had no way of bringing Xiang Zhong either. Furthermore, he had no way of finding out where Xiang Zhong was. In the end, Du Qiao, under Nan Bo's instructions, only needed the person to be a member of the Shadow Guards. Nan Bo was prepared to follow the clues from within the Shadow Guards, so Du Qiao quietly followed a person named Guo Yanting out and made his move. Guo Yanting was Xiang Zhong's subordinate, so he was probably a member of the Shadow Guards. Du Qiao was not clear about his specific status within the Shadow Guards. The Shadow Guards were too mysterious, and it was difficult for outsiders to figure out the details of these people.
Fortunately, after the demon monk successfully controlled Guo Yanting, he discovered that Guo Yanting was actually one of the core leaders of the Shadow Guards. From Guo Yanting, he confirmed that the entrance to the refinement site of the Transcendence Bow was indeed in the Li Palace's Master Qing's cultivation area. That place was indeed guarded by the Shadow Guards, and Guo Yanting was also one of the personnel on duty. Because Guo Yanting and his subordinates did not go on a mission with Xiang Zhong, the current task of guarding the refinement site was coincidentally handled by Guo Yanting's subordinates. This was also the reason why Du Qiao was able to capture Guo Yanting.
From the information provided by Guo Yanting regarding the refinement site, even if he controlled Guo Yanting, it was impossible to rescue Lin Aoxue. The refinement site had to be searched before entering, and it also had to be searched before exiting, unless he could obtain Shangguan Qing's handwritten order. And even if he brought her out of the Li Palace, the Heavenly Palace also strictly controlled the people entering and exiting the Heavenly Palace. Entering and exiting the Heavenly Palace had to go through a search. There were only a few people in the entire Heavenly Palace who did not need to go through a search.
Unless they were carrying out a secret mission, and did not want too many people to know the secret, Shangguan Qing would only give an order. Those ministers of the Heavenly Court who came to attend the court did not need to go through a search, but they still had to first notify the Heavenly Palace when entering and exiting, and there was a whole set of procedures for supervision by the Heavenly Palace.
How could he bring her out under such circumstances? There was basically no possibility of rescuing her, but this was only for the average person. For the demonic monk Nan Bo, there was still a glimmer of hope. However, it was very dangerous, and he suspected that he was gambling on luck. For the time being, the demonic monk had no other choice, and could only give it a try. Even if it was just a small movement that would allow Niu Youde to confirm that the artifact refinement site was indeed in the Li Palace, it was fine. However, he didn't know that Miao Yi's true objective was actually to save Lin Aoxue.
As for Du Qiao, he was temporarily suppressed by the demonic monk. His spiritual control had been removed. Otherwise, the demonic monk would not be able to control too many people with this technique. If this matter could be successfully concluded, he would naturally be able to control Du Qiao again.
There was some movement from the Star Bell. Nan Bo, who was hidden, took out the Star Bell to contact it.
Zuo'er tried to ask. "Has it started?" Nan Bo replied with a "Yes".
Outside the main gate of the Li Palace, Guo Yanting flashed over and landed. Even though the guards recognized him, he still had to flash a token in order to smoothly pass through.
He went all the way to the depths of the Li Palace. There was a courtyard surrounded by large trees, which was guarded by the Imperial Guards. He once again flashed his token in order to enter. After entering, there were many gazes staring at him from the courtyard, whether out in the open or in the dark. He took the initiative to walk into a pavilion. Inside, two people cupped their hands and bowed to him. "Milord!"
Guo Yanting took off the storage bracelet on his wrist and took out a Star Bell. He flashed it at the two people. "I want to bring this in. I have a mission."
The two people nodded. Bringing a Star Bell in was no big deal. If the secrets inside were to be leaked, Guo Yanting would not need a Star Bell to leak them. As for the storage bracelet, Guo Yanting placed it on a tray on the table. He asked, "Nothing happened, right?"
One person searched him. Even though the shadow guards here were all Guo Yanting's subordinates, they still had to strictly follow the procedures.
The other person took an empty teacup and put the storage bracelet on the tray upside down. They would not touch Guo Yanting's things before he came out. Once Guo Yanting came out, they would naturally return it to him. At the same time, they replied, "Everything is normal!"
Guo Yanting asked, "Is His Majesty not here?"
The person holding the teacup said, "He's not in the Li Palace. He should be in the Heavenly Palace."
After the person searching Guo Yanting confirmed that there was nothing wrong with him, he gestured to the people hiding in the surroundings to indicate that everything was normal.
Guo Yanting looked around, walked out of the pavilion, and came to a courtyard. He went straight to a house with its doors and windows tightly shut. He knocked on the door, and someone inside opened it. Two more people searched him, and after confirming that everything was normal, they let him in.
Inside the room was the entrance to a tunnel. Stone steps descended one after another, illuminated in the gloom by Night Pearls.
The spiral staircase went straight down, one thousand zhang underground. Along the way, there were guards stationed. When the guards saw him, they all bowed and said, "Milord!"
After passing through the door of an underground palace that was isolated by Soul Ice, he immediately felt a wave of heat.
In the world of lava and sea of fire, people could occasionally be seen coming and going, and the faint sound of knocking could be heard. Guo Yanting looked around and asked about the situation of his subordinates. Along the way, he borrowed a storage ring from a craftsman and made some preparations in a certain place. Finally, he came to the place that was responsible for the food and drink of everyone underground. All the living quarters had Soul Ice to cool them down, so it was quite livable.
Feihong's mother, Lin Aoxue, no longer needed to do those chores. She was responsible for directing the women who had been demoted here to take care of the food and drink of this place.
Seeing Lin Aoxue, Guo Yanting said, "Come with me."
"Yes!" Lin Aoxue respectfully followed Guo Yanting. Here, these people held the power of life and death for these sinful women. She had personally seen sinful women who did not abide by the rules being killed by these people for no reason, and even if they were killed, it seemed like they were killed in vain.
They came to a stone room. Before Lin Aoxue could react, Guo Yanting turned around and knocked her out with a finger. He directly put her into the storage ring.
After quietly waiting for a while with his eyes closed, Guo Yanting stuffed the storage ring into his bosom and walked out. Along the way, he paid attention to his surroundings. He unhurriedly arrived at the exit and went straight up the spiral staircase. As he neared the exit, he slowed down his flying speed and shook a star bell in his sleeve to communicate with the outside world.
Imperial Garden, Guang Wang's side courtyard. A servant walked out and flew towards the Li Palace.
The guards of the Li Palace quickly paid attention. They did not know why this person had come. Seeing that the person did not stop after landing, one of the guards raised his hand to signal for him to stop.
Unexpectedly, the servant suddenly pulled out a saber and fiercely chopped with all his strength. Transcendence energy surged out.
The guards were shocked. If something happened to the defense here, no one would be able to bear the responsibility. They did not expect that someone would be so bold as to dare to act so atrociously here!
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, one of the guards directly stabbed out with his spear, breaking through the servant's transcendence energy attack. With just one strike, the servant's saber was sent flying. The servant himself was also shaken to the point where he vomited blood and flew backwards. However, he was unwilling to stop. He still punched out with his fists, sending waves of transcendence energy at the ground.
Two guards flashed over and effortlessly captured the servant.
The guards in the side courtyards in the surrounding mountains were all alarmed. One by one, they came out to see what was happening. Looking at the collapsed ground outside the Li Palace and the scene of the capture, they were all frightened. They did not know who was tired of living and actually ran to the Li Palace to cause trouble.
As soon as the commotion appeared, the eyes of Guo Yanting, who was slowly walking in the spiraling tunnel, flashed and quickly rushed out. He shouted to the two guards at the entrance, "What's going on?"
The two were also surprised by the commotion outside. They both shook their heads and said, "I don't know what's going on!"
"Go out and take a look!" Guo Yanting sternly shouted.
The two quickly opened the door. Guo Yanting took the lead and the two followed behind him.
Once outside the courtyard, Guo Yanting shouted again, "A few people come with me to take a look. The rest of you, guard closely!" At the same time, he made a grabbing motion with his hand. The upside-down teacup in the pavilion shattered and a storage bracelet fell into his hand. He immediately put it on his wrist.
Six people flashed out of the shadows and followed behind Guo Yanting at high speed.
When the group arrived at the gate of the Li Palace, they saw the servant lying on the ground with his eyes wide open and blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. Guo Yanting asked one of the guards, "What happened?"
The guard frowned and said, "He came to cause trouble for no reason. As soon as he was captured, he cut his own heart veins and committed suicide."
Guo Yanting immediately turned around and sent a message to his subordinates, "Be careful of a trap. Go back and strictly guard the place. Kill any trespassers!"
The guards cupped their hands and accepted the order, then quickly returned.
The people in the mountain courtyards were all looking in the direction of the Li Palace gate. The Li Palace guards were also urgently reporting the situation. Guo Yanting took the opportunity to quietly leave.
After arriving in space, Guo Yanting rushed in the direction of the Star Domain's exit. He shook out the Star Bell from his sleeve once more and reported the approximate time of arrival.
Hiding on a desolate planet, Nan Bo responded with the Star Bell in his hand and immediately said to Zuo'er, "Prepare to move!"
Zuo'er turned around and went out of the cave. After looking around, she jumped into the valley below and released a thousand people, giving them instructions.
The thousand people were all wearing the Heavenly Court's standard armor. They were all elites of Ying Jiuguang's personal army.
When Nan Bo, who was counting the time, sent the signal, the thousand people flashed out of the desolate planet and flew in formation, heading straight for the memorial arch at the exit of the Heavenly Palace Star Domain.
Zuo'er returned to the cave and observed the situation with Nan Bo.
When the soldiers stationed around the memorial arch saw the Heavenly Court's troops arrive, they all watched with vigilance.
When they were close enough, they sent a squad of soldiers over to investigate. However, the thousand soldiers suddenly got into a killing formation. Magic Breaker Bows were in their hands, and they shot wildly at the soldiers who came over to investigate. The soldiers were killed and their horses were thrown into disarray. They quickly put up a defense.
The Mage Breaking Bows then turned to the memorial arch and Meteor Arrows were fired. After a round, they turned around and ran.
Seeing this, Nan Bo and Zuo'er quickly left the cave.
The guards outside the memorial arch were alarmed and were just about to set up a formation to deal with the attack when the enemy troops ran.
A general shouted angrily, "Troops on the right, chase after them!"
More than a hundred thousand people quickly chased after them.
The Starry Gate at the exit of the Heavenly Palace was heavily guarded. When Guo Yanting got close, there were also people coming to investigate him.
Guo Yanting was a familiar face and the guards also recognized him. However, everything still had to be done according to the rules.
Guo Yanting had just flashed the token in his hand. Before the interrogators could say anything, the rumbling sound of drums came from behind. It was the order for the army to gather!
The interrogators couldn't care less about Guo Yanting. They quickly turned around and gathered according to the military order.
Guo Yanting naturally knew the situation here. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made such an arrangement. He knew that the Starry Gate was going to be sealed soon, so he took advantage of the chaos to rush through the Starry Gate and escape.
As he spat out from the void, he was already in the massive gateway outside. Under the watchful eyes of the gatekeeper, he flashed the token in his hand. Seeing the battle formation outside, he asked, "What happened?"
The guard looked at the token in the other party's hand. Since it had been checked inside, he didn't say much and only replied, "Someone is attacking!"
Guo Yanting nodded and didn't seem to want to ask anything. He asked the guard to make things convenient for him and left.
As soon as he left, reinforcements were spat out from the void. The generals who came out asked about the situation outside.
