Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 924 - 42: Rescue

Yue Potian came and went in a hurry, taking Yue Minzhi with him, leaving a wave of panic in Wohua Imperial City.

The Blood Cherry Duke Mansion was razed to the ground overnight, and the city was abuzz with speculation.

All the guests who attended that banquet were either dead or injured. After recovering, those guests remained silent, unwilling to mention what had happened that night in the Duke Mansion.

Little Jinuo, under Her Highness the Queen’s orders, was busy with the city’s reorganization.

"Reporting to Her Highness the Queen, the ruins of the Duke Mansion have already been secured. I found no trace of Yue Jinghua and others in the city," Little Jinuo reported dejectedly.

That night, he was also among the guests at the Duke Mansion. When he saw Yue Minzhi transform into a Golden Giant Dragon, he intended to step forward with the Dragon Knights, but was stopped by his grandfather.

Her Highness the Queen also ordered that no one was to interfere in the Duke Mansion’s affairs, under penalty of treason.

Empress Long Teng the 73rd set down the memorial in her hands, pondering for a moment, "She must have left the Imperial City by now. This time, it was I who let the Duke Mansion down."

Little Jinuo stood silently aside, and the monarch and his ministers said nothing.

"Where do you think they are now? Fengdan Bailu County is also without news," Long Teng the 73rd couldn’t help but ask.

"I don’t know, but what I do know is that Yue Jinghua will never give up on her brother. Even if she endures the momentary anger and temporarily hides, she will eventually rise again, and then it will be time for an eye for an eye, a blood for a blood," Little Jinuo asserted confidently.

He believed that Yue Jinghua was now recuperating, waiting for the moment to strike.

The bustling Imperial City was left behind.

Most of the Canglong Continent was now under the prosperous scene of spring, with only a few mountain areas still in the grip of severe cold.

Mazaro Mountain was among these few.

It had been ten days since Yue Minzhi was taken back to the Moon Plane by Yue Potian.

Apart from the first three days, the people in the Duke Mansion were transferred by Yue Jinghua into Mo Xi’s Sea of Consciousness to temporarily evade the pursuit of Yue Potian and other individuals from the Empire.

In the remaining days, Yue Jinghua and Qian Luo, among others, used the "Bilun Avenue" transmission array that Qian Luo had laid out in the empire earlier to finally arrive at Mazaro Mountain after several twists and turns.

They even gave up returning to Fengdan Bailu County and opted for the more secluded Mazaro Mountain instead.

No one knew this desolate high mountain belonged to Yue Jinghua.

At Mazaro Mountain, everyone gradually recovered their Yuan Qi.

Aroused Long Rui, after listening to Yue Jinghua’s persuasion, ceased her senseless weeping and locked herself in a room silently.

The appearance of Yue Potian, along with the empire’s inaction, made Yue Jinghua realize all the more that to save her brother, she could only rely on her own strength. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

To enhance her power, she needed a stronger Dark Beast army. She also began using the Witch Origin Soil obtained from the Divine Charm Ruins to craft Beast Puppets.

After breaking through the Dan Realm, Yue Jinghua’s spiritual power cultivation advanced rapidly, and the Dun Qinglian Fire also became purer.

She spent seven days crafting over five hundred Beast Puppets, including two hundred Tiger Wolf Soldiers, two hundred Griffin Soldiers, and a hundred Bear-man Soldiers.

These Beast Puppets could be controlled with her Spiritual Sense, boasting unprecedented combat and destructive power.

During the crafting of the Beast Puppets, Yue Jinghua noticed her Jade Token had changed.

The Jade Token, once scorching like an iron, had returned to a cold state.

The blood droplet, which was incompatible with the Jade Token, had disappeared, leaving only a dark red blood stain.

"Could something have happened to Junior Minister?" Yue Jinghua was taken aback, staring at the Jade Token in her hand with a sense of bewilderment.

"Master, come quickly. Lady and Miss Long Rui are missing," Yue Jinghua had ordered no disturbances during the crafting of the Witch Puppets, and already worried about her mother and Long Rui’s potential rashness, she had placed guards. Yet, in the blink of an eye, both were missing.

"Rourou is so reckless," Lie Changgong was turning in circles with anxiety upon hearing his daughter was missing.

Luckily, Hongling discovered it quickly. They divided into groups and went down the mountain to search. It didn’t take long before they found Long Rui.

Seeing Yue Jinghua, Long Rui was full of resentment.

In her view, Yue Jinghua, afraid of death, had abandoned Yue Minzhi and hid in Mazaro Mountain alone, which she considered utterly cowardly. "Don’t stop me, I’m going to find Minzhi. If you won’t save him, I will."

"Save him? With what?" Yue Jinghua had found Long Rui but not Lie Rou. She had thought the two descended the mountain together, but upon pursuing, she only retrieved Long Rui.

"That’s none of your business. Even if it costs my life, I must find Minzhi," Long Rui was resolute. She planned to first go to Four Symbols City and then cross the Dimension Battlefield and the Boundary River to the Moon Plane.

"It’s none of my business? Hmph, Long Rui, you’re too naive. Do you think you can reach the Moon Plane by starting from Four Symbols City, crossing the battlefield, and the Boundary River? With your skills, a hundred of you wouldn’t be enough to die once. Big Brother risked ’Dragon Blood Boiling’ to save your life from Yue Potian. Is it to let you go to your death? Do you think I’m not worried about his safety? The one taken by Yue Potian is my own brother, my biological father is still at the Moon Plane, and now even my mother is missing; I’m more anxious than you," Yue Jinghua rebuked.

Long Rui was speechless, blushing as she lowered her head.

Indeed, if Minzhi knew she went to the Dimension Battlefield recklessly, he would definitely be furious.

"Then, what should I do? I’m just worried about him. I have nothing left aside from Minzhi; I just know I can’t lose him," Long Rui held back her tears.

Indeed, she was a delicate flower grown in a greenhouse, and the National Guardian General Residence was destroyed by herself.

She ended up in this state and couldn’t absolve herself from it.

Yue Jinghua sighed at the pitiful sight of Long Rui.

"I’m not avoiding rescuing Big Brother; it’s just that we can’t rescue him recklessly. Qian Luo, tell my sister-in-law what we discussed. Sometimes, retreating is also a form of victory. The strength of the Sun Dragon Clan is ten thousand times ours, so we can only win with strategy. In the face of a strong enemy, we must stay hidden to achieve the greatest victory at the smallest sacrifice," Yue Jinghua called Qian Luo and Shalman among others to share with everyone the carefully devised plan of the past few days.

After listening to Yue Jinghua’s plan, even the experienced Lie Changgong was stunned, "Jinghua, you’re planning to smuggle into the Moon Plane?!"
