Chapter 357: Chapter 165 Dawn (20,000 words combined for subscription)_3

Besides this, there was also an expert at the Fourth Tier, Fifth Layer in Star Condensation, and five experts at the Fourth Tier, Early Period of Star Condensation.

This... it truly was a hopeless situation!

Having understood the situation, Xu Jin couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Alien armies from all directions, roughly five thousand in number.

Most were between the Sixth and Seventh Layers of Dining Dawn and the Star Casting Realm, with only a small group, less than a hundred, being in the Star Refining Realm.

But this number...

"At this rate, by tomorrow morning, the depth of the pond will reduce to within twenty meters, and within twenty meters, that woman will no longer be able to hide!

Then, it will be the time for her to surrender," said Zi Yang, an expert of the Seventh Layer in Star Condensation from the Purple Wing Clan, smiling as he toasted Tian Lie, his words tinged with a hint of flattery.

"That’s right, but we still need to increase our vigilance tonight to prevent her from escaping under the cover of night!"

"Hahaha, I’m afraid she won’t come out.

If she dares to emerge early, then tonight I will capture her and send her to Young Master Tian’s tent to serve him!" Zi Yang laughed.

"Hehe, if that’s really the case, it wouldn’t be so bad! This Ji Hongli is indeed Dachen’s top beauty," Tian Lie chuckled.

"If Young Master Tian really intends so, then tomorrow morning when the water level is about right, I will personally capture her!

Day and night make no difference to me!" Zi Yang laughed.

"Hahaha, that’s true!"

"Beasts!"

Suddenly, a water dragon rose from the pond and instantly surged towards the two men.

Zi Yang merely waved his hand dismissively, the water dragon shattered instantly, his wings vibrated behind him, shifting horizontally over the pond, and with a forceful smash down, he stirred up a hundred-meter-high wave, but it was all for naught!

"The water is quite deep! Our Purple Wing Clan is greatly hindered by the water, so please wait a bit longer, Young Master Tian," Zi Yang said after glancing at the wings on his back.

With his Seventh Layer Star Condensation cultivation, forcing his way into the water wasn’t impossible.

After all, the target was just a young girl with the Cultivation at the Fourth Layer in Star Refining.

However, once in the water, his power would be greatly limited, his most proficient Thunder Series Star Skill would be unusable, and his speed would also be greatly reduced.

Meanwhile, the girl with a specialization in Water Series Star Skill would significantly enhance her strength in water.

Even for him, it could mean a substantial loss.

So, it was better to be cautious.

He would deal with her once the water level had receded.

"I understand! If it weren’t for her ability to leverage the water to hide, she wouldn’t be a match for me at all, and we wouldn’t need Lord Ziyang’s trouble," Tian Lie said with a laugh.

"As it should be! As it should be!

I just wonder when will Your Highness’s next campaign in the Purple Wind Star Domain be?" Zi Yang asked in a low voice.

"I’m unsure, but within one or two years, there definitely will be a campaign! And with my cultivation, I will surely participate in the next campaign!

Lord Ziyang, rest assured, I’ve promised you, and I will fulfill your wish when the time comes!

If the Purple Wind Star Domain is captured and a new prince is to be appointed, then such a sincere Lord Ziyang will naturally be the first choice.

If it’s still unconquered, as long as I cooperate slightly, Lord Ziyang will reap endless benefits," Tian Lie laughed.

"Good talk, good talk, let’s drink freely!" Zi Yang heartily raised his glass.

Hearing snippets of their conversation was enough for Xu Jin to understand most of the situation, though some were his guesses.

Tian Lie could so easily request the mobilization of the Alien Race forces in the Purple Wind Star Domain due to the several previous attacks by Cangming Star Hall.

Although none succeeded in conquering, they had gained quite a bit, planted many spies, and intimidated many of the Purple Winged Alien Race.

Otherwise, the Master of the Purple Wind Star Domain, Zi Hao, wouldn’t have given the Keepsake and issued orders.

Watching Tian Lie and Zi Yang drinking merrily, Xu Jin was anxious about how to rescue Ji Hongli.

Various plans surfaced, each subsequently eliminated by Xu Jin.

Almost all of the cunning plans had no chance of success.

Only one plan had a possibility of success, but it was not feasible.

This was to use Qi’s Concealing Emblems; unfortunately, during their previous time on Thousand Leaf Island, the last two were used up. Otherwise, giving one to Ji Hongli could have allowed her to escape unnoticed while keeping her presence concealed.

As for the Invisibility Technique, it currently only concealed Xu Jin’s own form and presence and could not be applied to others.

This made Xu Jin somewhat regretful.

Once he returned, if time allowed, he would definitely learn to make Emblems.

This was a potent survival strategy Xu Jin devised for himself.

Creating powerful Emblems and then nurturing them increased their power significantly.

When encountering powerful enemies, if one was not enough, then ten, and if ten were not enough, then a hundred would be used to bombard them!

Emblems like the Concealing Emblem, specialized in hiding one’s presence, could also be created by Xu Jin, which would have a tremendous effect at critical moments.

After pondering for nearly an hour, Xu Jin failed to find any cunning plan to rescue Ji Hongli.

As for a direct rescue!

The Seventh Layer Star Condensation expert from the Purple Wing Clan was a formidable barrier.

Under normal circumstances, Xu Jin couldn’t defeat him.

With Xu Jin’s current strength, at the Third Layer in Star Condensation and below, one-on-one, there was a possibility to defeat them.

One against two would be risky.

Let alone, there was also an expert from the Purple Winged Alien Race at the Fourth Tier, Fifth Layer in Star Condensation.

As for diverting the pursuers?

It wasn’t feasible!

Xu Jin was likely to die in the attempt!

"Forget it, I’ll just go and meet Ji Hongli."

Taking advantage of the darkness, the invisible Xu Jin silently descended into the pond.

Since the Alien forces were continuously draining the pond, the slight ripple he caused went unnoticed.

However, before entering the water, Xu Jin had already sent a message to Ji Hongli through the Red Scale Heart.

"I’m here, about to dive into the water, do not attack me."

If he had dived directly into the water, and then Ji Hongli attacked, followed by their enemies discovering them, the situation would have indeed been dramatic.
