Chapter 1841 - 8: What? Even Hongshan Was Rescued by Him?!
"Put it aside, I’ll look at it later.""Yes."
After the people left, Ji Si finally stopped observing the flow of the Seventh Realm Mountain and ended his calculations.
He returned to the message box, ignoring Carlos Duke’s letter, only responding to the others’ communications.
The content was nothing special, the usual inquiries about progress, and he could only reply as he used to.
The general meaning was that the rescue was still underway, the Seventh Realm Mountain hadn’t collapsed, but for now, no one had come out.
Even bizarre incidents from before only happened once and were cleared by the stationed military department.
...
Time passed, and the rescue plan reached its ninth year.
Ji Si finally ended his anxious waiting because someone finally came out from the Seventh Realm Mountain.
"The Boundary Boat, it’s the Fourth Expeditionary Army’s Huang Wusi’s Boundary Boat! Look, they’ve been rescued!"
"The Sea Communication Envoy is amazing! Really rescued them, hahaha!"
"Incredible, incredible indeed. Zhao Chen’an is about to become famous in Xuanling..." Master Miao Song murmured.
"Senior Brother, we’ve conquered a Stacked Realm Mountain!"
"Hahaha, who dares say my Ancient Hill is incompetent now?!"
"Useless martial artist, speak up!"
"..."
Listening to the boiling discussions, Ji Si quickly flew out of the Boundary Boat to welcome the team coming out of the mountain.
He scanned around and found some unfamiliar ships belonging to the people originally trapped.
Gu Ming’s Mystical Mechanism Bureau came out, and Qiu Zishan’s Tunnel Department also emerged.
But he looked around and couldn’t see Zhao Xing’s Mountain Cat Boundary Ship.
"Gu Ming!"
Ji Si rushed to Gu Ming’s side, "Where’s Zhao Xing, why hasn’t Zhao Xing come out!"
Gu Ming looked at the anxious Ji Si and immediately reassured him, "Don’t worry, Mr. Ji, Mr. Zhao is fine."
"He and Lord Ji Shan led the team to the Fourth Boundary Mountain."
"The Fourth Boundary Mountain?" Ji Si was taken aback, "You mean...?"
"Yes." Gu Ming smiled, "Not only have we saved people, but we’ve also broken through the entire Sixth Boundary Mountain."
"However, communication within the Boundary Mountain is impossible, and we can’t inform the outside world."
"Why is this! Why didn’t you persuade him!" Ji Si remained tense, as the Fourth Boundary Mountain was vastly different from the Seventh Boundary Mountain.
The Seventh Boundary Mountain was more familiar and less dangerous, but the Fourth Boundary Mountain could even trap Emperor Hongshan!
"Four years ago, Mr. Zhao found that part of the Seventh Boundary Mountain at the Third Pinnacle of the Dao Display Layer intersected with the Fourth Boundary Mountain. At that time, Mr. Zhao told my Mechanical Puppets that he discovered marks left by Emperor Hongshan."
"So from that time, they drilled from the Seventh Boundary Mountain to the Fourth Boundary Mountain."
"If everything goes smoothly, he might have already met Emperor Hongshan."
Ji Si’s expression didn’t ease, his face looking more grim.
"If?"
"Gu Ming! You, as a deputy, don’t stop the superior from taking risks. If something goes wrong, you’re to blame!"
"Ji Si, you don’t know the situation inside, don’t make baseless accusations." Gu Ming frowned. "We return victorious, why speak of defeat?!"
"Hmph, best be sure!" Ji Si flicked his sleeves, ignoring Gu Ming, and Gu Ming also stopped talking.
He respected Zhao Xing but didn’t have to flatter Ji Si, good speaking was already decent enough.
The two parted ways unhappily.
......
The rescue of those trapped in the Sixth Boundary Mountain quickly reached Jia Chen Fourteen Passes.
It should have been good news, but Zhao Xing and Ji Shan going to the Fourth Boundary Mountain to rescue Emperor Hongshan overshadowed the joy.
Hence Emperor Bishui withheld this news from the public, only informing a few like Five Poison and Zuo Qiyu.
If Zhao Xing died, this victory would be greatly diminished, and Emperor Bishui wouldn’t celebrate prematurely.
...
The rescue plan entered its fifteenth year.
Within a mountain space in the Fourth Boundary Mountain.
Emperor Hongshan and Tao Yangzi were meditating in an Earth Palace, while Zhao Xing and Lord Ji Shan guarded the entrance.
"During the eighth year of the rescue operation, Ji Shan and I followed the earth advantage markers left by Emperor Hongshan and met up smoothly."
"We then taught the Earth Transformation Eight Methods to Emperor Hongshan and Tao Yangzi, though unsure if they could break through the twelve-layer Boundary Mountain barrier inside the Fourth Boundary Mountain."
The place where Emperor Hongshan and others were trapped wasn’t the mountain body of the Phenomenon Layer but within the void mountain body of the Dao Display Layer.
This location lies at the twelfth Pinnacle of the Void Dao Display Layer!
Zhao Xing could only briefly stay at the tenth Pinnacle under normal void conditions, wearing the Golden Cicada Robe.
Not to mention at the twelfth Pinnacle beneath the Stacked Realm Mountain.
Zhao Xing and Ji Shan indeed took some risks because now, relying solely on them, they couldn’t exit the Fourth Boundary Mountain!
At that time, if they jumped down and didn’t find Emperor Hongshan, or found only his corpse, they’d be trapped here, awaiting rescue.
Luckily, everything went rather smoothly, and Emperor Hongshan was indeed safe as the Dayan Divine Weapon predicted, though he couldn’t leave at that time either.
"Getting out depends on Emperor Hongshan now." Zhao Xing’s mindset was quite calm, taking some risks to save Emperor Hongshan could reap some reward in cause and effect, very worthwhile!
"Buzz~"
Suddenly, dramatic undulations appeared on the Earth Palace’s surface.
"Huh?"
Zhao Xing and Ji Shan turned around simultaneously.
Rumble~
The Demon God Palace abruptly expanded, and the muscle-bound Hongshan strode out of the hall, looking like an Ancient Demon God, onto the steps outside.
"Uncle Hongshan, has your spell broken through?" Ji Shan asked expectantly.
"Yes." Emperor Hongshan’s demeanor now was entirely different from his usual benevolent appearance, his aura was heavy and oppressive, carrying intense evil qi.
His temperament changed, even his appearance seemed fierce and terrifying.
No wonder Five Poison liked to call him ’Old Bi’, this look completely overturned Zhao Xing’s previous perception of him.
"Zhao Xing, thank you for risking your life to save me." Emperor Hongshan revealed his sharp teeth, "Now, we can leave."
...
In the sixteenth year of the rescue operation, Emperor Hongshan broke through the void mountain body of the Seventh Pinnacle of the Dao Display Layer, following the Magic Theory’s guidance, and escaped from the Fourth Boundary Mountain.
Emperor Hongshan secured Tao Yangzi and twelve thousand others inside the World Ring and brought them all out.
Then they returned to the first base, repaired the Communication Array, and sequentially transmitted the news back.
Upon receiving the information, Emperor Bishui immediately reported to the Primordial Realm.
"What, even ’Old Bi’ was saved?" Five Poison Emperor was shocked upon hearing the news. "Is it credible?"
"It’s true, absolutely true." Emperor Bishui affirmed.
"Even we at the Ancient Hill received confirmation, I just await your authorization to announce the news."
"Announce it." Five Poison Emperor waved listlessly, "Ah, this time I really lost big."
He could already imagine the massive impact and notoriety the Stacked Realm Mountain incident would bring.
Unfortunately, due to Old Bi’s foolishness, the biggest beneficiary of this event wasn’t him, the teacher, but someone else.
...
The rescue operation concluded successfully with the return of Emperor Hongshan and Zhao Xing.
The news quickly spread across the Seven Ancient Paths, both inside and outside the Empire.
The Academic City immediately released Zhao Xing’s Magic Theory, helping to clear the negative impact brought by the previous Stacked Realm Mountain.
Once published, the news swiftly swept across both inside and outside the Empire.
The entire Xuanling Star Realm was stirred by this event!
