Chapter 376: Chapter 226: The General’s Son

"Stop watching the show, it’s dangerous, hurry and leave!" The Sable urgently urged the indifferent Cang Huang.

Cang Huang reluctantly gave a light "Oh," then prepared to retreat.

"No rush!" Li Jizhou’s light voice rang out.

"Young Master, you mustn’t, a gentleman should not stand under a crumbling wall. With your esteemed status, you cannot be careless!" The Sable was terribly anxious, her two ears twirling intensely.

Li Jizhou smiled slightly, reached out to touch her ears, trying to calm them, but it was useless.

"Don’t worry, there won’t be any danger!" As he finished speaking, a golden light flashed on his storage ring, and a golden talisman emanated a terrifying pressure.

The magnificent flower house in front, in the Jiuli Dynasty, only the noble lords had the right to possess it. And from the young master descending the flower house, with a beauty by his side, Li Jizhou instantly saw through his identity.

It was Gongsun Zhi, the legitimate son of the Grand General of the Jiuli Dynasty, notorious, profligate, long indulging in the pleasures of life, known as a good-for-nothing.

However, after awakening his Innate Wisdom, Li Jizhou had meticulously examined the court ministers long ago.

The Grand General’s Mansion and the Dragon Aspect were natural adversaries, and this was also why the Saint Emperor dared to let the Dragon Aspect control the court for a thousand years.

And this Gongsun Zhi, in Li Jizhou’s eyes, was very much like the ostentatious crown prince of a mortal country he had seen in his first life.

It was merely to reduce the emperor’s suspicion.

Other than that, the Grand General was a staunch supporter of the Crown Prince, yet not closely associated, rarely approaching the Crown Prince, embodying a loyalty to the Dynasty.

Everything showed that the Grand General was an extremely cautious, constantly lowering his presence, loyal minister of Jiuli.

Originally, Li Jizhou hadn’t intended to win over the Grand General, as he always thought the Saint Emperor had about five hundred years of life left, by which time he would have enough confidence to control the court.

But now, suspecting the Saint Emperor’s life span might not be that long, and the Dragon Aspect already making a move.

In order to resist the Dragon Aspect, Li Jizhou thought the Grand General was a good weapon.

Especially at this moment, seeing the Grand General’s profligate legitimate son being blocked by others.

This couldn’t help but suspect it was again the Dragon Aspect’s arrangement.

Otherwise, in the Jiuli Dynasty’s strength, who wouldn’t know Gongsun Zhi?

That enormous flower house had already indicated the identity.

"Is the Dragon Aspect testing Gongsun Zhi, or do they already have plans to deal with the Grand General? Or is there another purpose?" Li Jizhou stopped in place with a smile, watching the battle ahead.

The front had already erupted into violent conflict; the profligate Gongsun Zhi didn’t make a move, just stood with a paper fan in front of the flower house, watching his seven beautiful women fighting with five men in black.

"One at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul, two at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, two at the Early Stage of Nascent Soul. No strong practitioners above Divinity Transformation within ten li!" Cyan Dome appeared soundlessly within the carriage, speaking.

Among Li Jizhou’s four maids, Cyan Dome held deep-seated hatred, hence worked the hardest, always in seclusion for cultivation whenever there were no tasks.

Therefore, her cultivation was distinguished, now at the late stage of Tier Four, combined with her bloodline’s divine abilities and her superb space concealment skill, even a human race practitioner at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul might suffer losses.

"That’s good, as long as there’s no Dao Sovereign level. That scared me to death!" Hong Luan dramatically patted her exaggerated chest.

Hong Luan’s cultivation was barely Tier Four, but her bloodline’s divine abilities lay mainly in charm skills, so her magical power was weak, however, her divine soul was on par with Cyan Dome.

"Young Master, Young Master, could I possibly..." Upon hearing that the five men in black had no strong practitioners at the Divinity Transformation stage, Cang Huang instantly took interest, drooling as he looked at Li Jizhou expectantly.

"Gosh, what are you all doing? War is dangerous, as long as there’s a fight, there’s risk. How do you know the opponent isn’t a Dao Sovereign playing the fool?

How do you know the opponent doesn’t have a Quasi-Immortal Artifact in hand?

What if the opponent has some self-destruct secret skill..."

The Sable couldn’t help but strongly protest.

"Young Master, sisters, I beg you, safety first!"

"..." Li Jizhou turned his head, looking at her incredulously.

This was the first time taking the Sable out, and although he remembered the Sable race being innately timid and possessing exceptional instinctive divine abilities to avoid harm, he never expected her to be this timid.

This wasn’t caution; this was cowardice!

The other four tacitly ignored her, continuing to watch the scene.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The battle grew more intense.

Gongsun Zhi’s seven female companions were not weak, and they had earlier concealed their cultivation through secret techniques, now all revealing the magical power fluctuations of the Nascent Soul Stage.

"Humph! Courting death!" Seeing the battle evenly matched, the leading black-clad man’s aura suddenly erupted, fully exposing his cultivation at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul.

Then, the other two at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul also revealed their true cultivation.

Exactly as Cyan Dome had observed.

Initially, these five presented themselves merely at the Early Stage of Nascent Soul.

"Puff!"

With the eruption of the Late Stage of Nascent Soul’s cultivation, two of Gongsun Zhi’s female companions were instantly killed, two injured.

After Core Formation, even minor stages have a clear gap, let alone the Nascent Soul.

One at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul is enough to slaughter all seven women, merely taking a bit more time.

Seeing one female companion after another getting injured, Gongsun Zhi’s face darkened.

"Stop!" He didn’t flee; instead, he flew forward, shielding the remaining five women behind him.

"You merely seek money. Then I will grant you!" Upon saying this, he threw his storage ring over.

However, the leading black-clad man’s voice turned cold as he caught the storage ring: "Too late! Now, it’s your life I want!"

"Hahaha, as expected, you’re here to kill me? Were you sent by the Dragon family?" Gongsun Zhi laughed freely, as if he had long predicted this.

But the other side said no more; the five black-clad men struck with full force.

"Heh~ Again and again I endure, again and again I yield, indeed, the Dragon family has a rebellious heart, not even sparing a useless one like me?" Gongsun Zhi mocked himself with a smile.

"Then let’s stop pretending!"

As his words faded, to the world a useless prince who had been completely overshadowed by the Crown Prince since birth, Gongsun Zhi’s surroundings suddenly whipped up a storm of sand.

"Golden Core Dharma Aspect!" The five black-clad men paused slightly.

The next moment, the whole land was engulfed by the raging sandstorm.

"This is... the Tornado Sandstorm Domain!"

Indeed hiding his strength.

Li Jizhou’s eyes gleamed with amusement.

Moreover, from Gongsun Zhi’s words, it seemed his long-standing concealment of his strength was primarily because of the Dragon Aspect.

After all, in this Dynasty, the Grand General holding military power posed little threat to the Saint Emperor who wielded the Quasi-Immortal Artifact Jiuli Map, yet was the greatest threat to the Dragon Aspect who controlled the Dynasty for a millennium without a Quasi-Immortal Artifact.

"Humph! Even if you have a domain, so what? Under Nascent Soul, all are ants!" The leader of the black-clad men quickly recovered from his shock, snorted coldly.

Immediately, his entire magical power erupted, attacking the towering tornado in front.

The Tornado Sandstorm Dharma Aspect Domain was ranked in the top hundred on the Dharma Aspect Ranking, yet facing an opponent a major stage higher, it was entirely inadequate.

However, Gongsun Zhi never intended to use this domain to kill them, merely to buy time.

He had already crushed the emergency talisman, normally, the Grand General’s rescue would arrive within a hundred breaths.

The Tornado Sandstorm merely needed to hold them for a hundred breaths.

Bang bang bang!

However, seeing the countless tornadoes within the Dharma Aspect being blasted apart, with the hundred breaths long past, the Grand General’s rescue was still delayed.

Boom!

Finally, the Dharma Aspect Domain shattered, the five black-clad men charged out, unharmed.

"Prepare to die!"

Gongsun Zhi’s face turned slightly grim, tightly clutching a jade pendant, hesitating.

Just then, a coquettish tease sounded: "Oh, such a handsome young master, willing to become a servant under my skirt? I can save you!"
