Peerless Sovereign

Su Lie sat cross-legged on the ground and lowered his head in thought.    

He had to think of a way to inform the sect. Since the Great Qing and the had already decided to go against the Tianyuan Sect, they would definitely strike first and weaken the Tianyuan Sect.    

Moreover, if there really was a Great Spirit Empire Ranker who died in the hands of the Great Qing Kingdom and the Great Spirit Empire, then it might be easier for the Great Spirit Empire to fall towards the Tianyuan Sect.    

"Tian Zi, do you have any ideas?"    

Su Lie asked Tian Zi in his mind.    

Tian Zi was comfortably sleeping within the ancient cauldron. Upon hearing Su Lie's voice, she was still in a daze.    

"What …"    

Tian Zi's eyes were closed, as she said in a vague tone.    

Su Lie's consciousness immediately sank into his Dantian and roughly pulled Tian Zi up. After that, he recounted the current situation he was in.    

Strictly speaking, you have already left this world, so it's impossible for you to send a message. However, isn't this painting of the Jade Lake a treasure of yours? As long as you open up a little of the space, you should be able to send a message.    

Tian Zi said as he pondered.    

"That's it?"    

Su Lie was somewhat suspicious.    

"Try it!"    

Tian Zi was completely unconcerned as she casually replied.    

Su Lie shook his head slightly and said: "Is there no other way?"    

"There is!"    

Tian Zi said listlessly.    

Su Lie's eyes immediately lit up. He opened his mouth and said: "Tell me about it!"    

"Let me take control of your body. Let's kill our way out. That is what a man should do."    

Tian Zi seemed to come back to her senses. She lifted her head and waved her dragon claw as she spoke.    

Su Lie's heart froze and he couldn't help but reveal a trace of pondering expression. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Are you confident?"    

If Tian Zi could bring them out, that wouldn't be impossible!    

"Try it!"    

Tian Zi said indifferently.    

Countless dirty words instantly appeared in Su Lie's mind. He was unwilling to give Su Lie a good beating.    

[Is this a random trial? If I mess it up, I might just lose my life.]    

"Is there any better way?"    

Su Lie suppressed his temper and asked as gently as he could.    

Tian Zi couldn't help but shake his head.    

Su Lie could not help but feel speechless. He could only ask: "How confident are you in killing your way out?"    

After pondering for a moment, he then said: "Compared to the other four, your cultivation is not weak, you just have not displayed your full strength yet. If I were to take action, adding the hydrocarbon-phalanx armor and the Kanni Sword, I have a seventy percent chance of success."    

"Seventy percent sure …"    

Su Lie's heart could not help but slightly freeze.    

Although he had a high chance of winning, it was a matter of life and death. Even if he had a 90% chance of winning, it would still be dangerous, so he had no choice but to consider it.    

"That's fine. If you can't send any messages, then control my body to charge out. Even if you can't, as long as you move forward a bit, you'll be able to charge out after a few more times."    

Su Lie finally decided.    

Tian Zi nodded, her body shrinking as she slid to the bottom of the ancient cauldron. Closing her eyes, she said, "Just call me when the time comes."    

"You must have not slept in your previous life!"    

When Su Lie saw that Tian Zi was about to fall asleep again, he couldn't help but mutter under his breath.    

Except for a few moments, Tian Zi seemed to be sleeping soundly.    

"Being trapped here, other than sleeping, I have nothing else to do. How about you lend your body to me for a few days and I'll go play around?"    

Tian Zi slightly raised his head and said.    

Su Lie's heart jumped, and he hurriedly said: "You should still go to sleep. Sleep is very good, beauty can nourish your face, and you can even store energy."    

Although Tian Zi had controlled his body multiple times and had helped him in many ways, and she had never had any ill intentions, Su Lie still did not like the feeling of not being able to control his body, and could only watch from the side.    

Tian Zi was especially unreliable. If he was allowed to control his body and play outside for a couple of days, who knew what he would do?    

"How boring!"    

Tian Zi shook her head and lay down without a sound.    

Su Lie's consciousness exited his Dantian and he began to control the Jade Lake Painting to slowly open up a gap.    

This was a technical matter. If the gap was too large, those four people would definitely be able to detect it with their cultivation. If they were allowed to rush in through the gap, it would be a disaster for the Su Clan disciples.    

"Will they rush in?"    

Su Lie's heart could not help but move.    

If those four people dared to charge over, as long as he could control them well and only let one person in, he could kill them all.    

"But if we just happened to let Yan Jiao in, that would be a little troublesome …"    

Su Lie shook his head and rejected this idea.    

Amongst the four of them, the only one that he was truly wary of was Yan Long. Although Yan Lei was also very strong, he was unable to break through the hydrocarbon-phalanx armor and hence, was unable to injure him.    

Su Lie used his mind energy to control the Jadelake Painting Realm while his mind sank into the message token, paying attention to the changes within.    

When he opened up a finger-thick hole in the air with the painting of the Jade Lake, the communication imprints on his identity jade token gradually lit up.    

"It's really possible!"    

Su Lie was overjoyed.    

"Junior Martial Sister, where are you?"    

Su Lie sent a message to Yu Ling.    

There weren't many communication marks on his identity jade token. Other than Luo Yu and Yu Ling, there was only Ye Han and the rest.    

However, Ye Han and the others were still outer sect disciples. They had no way of contacting the upper echelons of the sect, and Luo Xiaoyu had been in closed door cultivation. Even now, Su Lie didn't want to disturb her and finding Yu Ling was the best choice.    

As Su Lie controlled the Jade Lake Painting, he waited for Yu Ling's signal.    

Time passed and Yu Ling did not reply, causing Su Lie to unconsciously become more and more anxious.    

"What is this girl doing? Could she be in closed-door training too?"    

Su Lie could not help but frown.    

He thought for a moment, then looked at the imprints on the communication tokens. He tried to contact Ye Han, but there was no response. He sent another message to Liu Xuanyue, but similarly did not reply.    

"Senior Brother Su Lie?"    

There was a hint of uncertainty in Tong Han's tone.    

They had only left a communication imprint with each other, but they had never sent a message to each other. On the other hand, ever since Su Lie had become a disciple of the Heavenly Ranking, he had practically been in closed door training. They had not seen each other for over a year.    

Why didn't Su Lie respond when he sent so many messages?    

Because it was already late at night outside.    

No wonder Tong Han thought so much about sending a message to a girl in the middle of the night.    

"It's me, it's me!"    

Su Lie hurriedly replied with excitement in his tone.    

It wasn't easy, someone finally replied.    

But when Tong Han heard her tone, it was completely different.    

"Senior Brother Su Lie, why are you looking for me …"    

A hint of shyness actually appeared in Tong Han's voice.    

Su Lie didn't even pay attention as he opened his mouth and said, "I want to ask you to help me with something. It's great that I can hear your voice."    

"Senior-apprentice Brother Su Lie, don't speak nonsense. Be careful that I don't report this to Junior-apprentice Sister Luo!"    

Tong Han said in a slightly angry manner.    

In the middle of the night, he actually said it was great to hear his voice. This was pure teasing.    

"Ugh …"    

He could only say in an anxious voice, "Junior Sister, listen to me. I am currently in an extremely dangerous place and I won't be able to come out for a short period of time. It will be very difficult to send a message, and the sect is in danger, so you have to quickly think of a way to contact the elders of the sect."    

"Is that true?"    

Tong Han became serious.    

"Absolutely!"    

Su Lie confirmed and then continued: "You must remember my words and find a way to report it to the sect."    

"Alright, go ahead."    

Tong Han sent the message.    

"Right now, the Dayuan Dynasty and the Great Qing Empire have …"    

Su Lie slowly explained the current situation in detail to Tong Han.    

"So dangerous?"    

Tong Han was also shocked when she heard Su Lie's story.    

"Mm. Therefore, this matter is extremely urgent. Whether or not I can save the sect from harm will depend on you, junior sister."    

Su Lie said.    

"Senior Brother Su Lie, don't worry. I'll go find the elder immediately. I definitely won't let you die."    

Tong Han promised.    

"Thank you, Junior Sister!"    

Su Lie expressed his gratitude and continued to speak, "In passing, I will inform the sect to make the people of the Great Spirit Empire take note not to approach Qingyang City, or else there will be danger."    

"I got it!"    

Tong Han's tone was hurried, as if she had already started moving, but after a moment of hesitation, she sent another message, "Senior Brother, among my identity jade plates, there are only the few of you, and no familiar elders. Moreover, it is late at night, even if I go to the foot of the Elders Peak, the Elders will not necessarily notice me, I do not see them."    

Tong Han's tone was anxious.    

Su Lie was slightly stunned. He hadn't thought of this kind of situation, and even if Tong Han had rushed to the elders' mountain peak, it would have taken quite a bit of time. She had been lucky enough to be recruited by the elders and needed a bit of time.    

After a moment of thought, Su Lie's eyes lit up and sent a message: "Come out of the cave and use all your strength to attack in the air!"    

"Ah!    

Tong Han cried out in alarm. If the Great Sect Array was activated, then she would die a graveless death.    

"The sect's great formation can sense the spirit energy fluctuation, so it won't attack immediately. Don't worry, there's no danger. As long as you activate the great formation, there will be an elder coming to find you. You don't need to go find them."    

Su Lie sent a message.    

"Is there really no danger?"    

Tong Han was still a little surprised.    

Su Lie slightly pondered, then said: "If Junior Sister is afraid of danger, then think of another way to contact the sect elders as soon as possible."    

After a few breaths of time, Tong Han seemed to have mustered up her courage and sent a message, "I believe in senior brother. Let's use your method."    

"Then you must be careful. You just need to activate the formation!"    

Su Lie was moved in his heart as he warned once again.    

"Don't worry, I will definitely do it well."    

Tong Han said softly, and then stopped talking.    

"Whew ~"    

Su Lie exhaled a long breath. He had finally sent out the news. Just as he was about to release his control over the Jade Lake Painting, the expression on his face changed slightly.
