The grass in the factory should be plucked

Chapter 667 Cave

Inside the Dragon Palace, Jiang Li sneezed several times in a row.

She scratched her head: "Who's talking about me?"

Xie Chang'an smiled slightly: "Perhaps the White Tiger Clan Chief?"

They arrived at Qingling Lake around the same time as the White Tiger Clan Chief.

As soon as Taixu returned, Xie Chang'an urged him to quickly put the courtyard into his spatial storage and prepare to leave.

The small space of the void is not as convenient as the "domain" of the shadow, where people can cover it with their "domain" and take it away with just a thought.

Taixu, however, had to painstakingly dismantle the entire courtyard into pieces and fill them into the space one by one.

Because he was pressed for time, he had no choice but to demolish it violently, and the exquisite garden with its small bridges, flowing water, carved beams and painted rafters was reduced to ruins in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Li couldn't help but feel a little regretful, but Xie Chang'an laughed and said, "When we get back, I'll build you an exact replica."

Taixu hurriedly stuffed the broken walls and ruins into his space, then took Jiang Li and Xie Chang'an inside before traversing the void and heading east.

The small space was a mess, and the two of them didn't bother to clean it up, so they just found a place to sit down.

Jiang Li sensed the location of the Dragon Palace through her natal contract.

Before long, her face lit up with joy: "Young Master Baihu truly keeps his word!"

The Sumeru Mustard Seed Bottle that housed the Dragon Palace has been placed into a large lake!

Xie Chang'an also said, "I've sensed the location of that Sumeru Mustard Seed Bottle too, Taixu, hurry!"

"Got it!"

Taixu is Xie Chang'an's natal sword spirit, and is in tune with his mind, advancing at full speed in the direction he points.

With a "whoosh," Taixu entered the Dragon Palace directly from the void.

Hearing the noise, the Rejuvenating Vine cautiously stretched out a vine, and upon seeing it was Taixu, happily ran out.

"Taixu, have Master and the Sovereign come out yet?"

"With me in charge, how could we possibly fail to get out?"

Taixu released Jiang Li and Xie Chang'an with a smug look on his face.

Jiang Li, without bothering to comfort Hui Chun Teng, said to Xie Chang'an, "Let's hurry out and retrieve the Sumeru Mustard Seed Bottle!"

Xie Chang'an understood what she meant.

Baihu Langjun already knew that she was preparing to escape from Wuling Valley, and he would certainly report such an important matter to the clan leader.

The fish tank holds a hidden secret, which may fool the White Tiger Gentleman, but it cannot fool those great demons with thousands of years of cultivation.

The White Tiger Clan Chief, after a moment's thought, would surely realize that something was amiss.

They must hide the Sumeru Mustard Seed Bottle before the White Tiger Clan Chief can react, so that Egg and the Dragon Palace do not fall into the hands of the White Tiger Clan.

So the two left the Dragon Palace, emerged from the Sumeru Mustard Seed Bottle, and floated to the surface of the water. They saw that the lake was as calm as a mirror, and the water was an extremely clean azure blue. Surrounded by mountains, the environment was very serene.

"It really is a great place!" Jiang Li exclaimed.

Xie Chang'an waved his hand, putting away the Sumeru Mustard Seed Bottle in the lake, and asked, "What's next?"

Jiang Li's eyes darted around. "Let's find a place to hide first."

Xie Chang'an focused his mind and released a wisp of his divine sense, carefully probing his surroundings.

As far as the eye could see, there were layers upon layers of mountains and lush forests. As his consciousness wandered over the jagged rocks and dense foliage, it suddenly paused.

He looked up at the mountain wall diagonally in front of him and said in a low voice, "There's a cave over there, but it's a bit small."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as we can hide this Sumeru Mustard Seed Bottle."

Since they usually live in the Dragon Palace anyway, all they need to do is find a sufficiently secluded place to put this "fish tank" inside.

So, Xie Chang'an, with Jiang Li in his arms, leaped towards the mountain wall.

The gnarled vines wove a green curtain, completely covering the cave entrance. Unless one's divine sense probed the emptiness inside, it would be difficult to discover with the naked eye that a hidden cave was concealed beneath these vines.

Xie Chang'an probed the cave with his divine sense and, finding no danger, parted the vines at the entrance and pulled Jiang Li into the cave.

The cave was fairly dry, but cramped and narrow, barely wide enough for two people to stand side by side.

Xie Chang'an placed the Sumeru Mustard Seed Bottle on the ground, and with a flick of his hand, several shimmering white sword talismans flew out, setting up a concealment array at the cave entrance.

The pale golden array patterns disappeared into the vines and leaves, vanishing without a trace in an instant.

With the array concealing it, the dense foliage at the cave entrance became even more intense, with no gaps between the intertwined vines and leaves. If it weren't for a Nascent Soul demon meticulously plowing through it inch by inch with its divine sense, no one would have been able to tell that a hidden paradise was concealed behind these vines.

Jiang Li cast a cleansing spell on the cave, stretched out her arms to measure its size, and chuckled, "Luckily we don't have to spend the night here; there's no room to even lie down!"

Xie Chang'an raised an eyebrow slightly and chuckled softly, "I can hold you in my arms."

Jiang Li spat, her face flushing red, and retorted, "Dream on!"

Xie Chang'an's expression suddenly turned serious. "Someone's here!"

He leaned down and peered intently through the gaps in the vines at the cave entrance.

The cave is in an excellent location, nestled in the cliff halfway up the mountain, offering a panoramic view of the entire lake.

"who is it?"

Jiang Li quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Xie Chang'an's lips curled slightly: "Just as you expected, it's the White Tiger Clan Chief."

The two watched as the White Tiger Clan Chief leaped into the lake, searched carefully, and then anxiously rode away on a cloud.

Jiang Li laughed and said, "He'll find out I'm gone soon. Guess when the Demon Emperor will find out?"

Xie Chang'an also laughed and said, "The White Tiger Clan Chief probably won't tell him right away. Who knows, he might only find out during the wedding procession?"

Jiang Li chuckled and said, "Then this will be a lot of fun."

Xie Chang'an then added a killing formation behind the concealment array to ensure the safety of the Sumeru Mustard Seed Bottle. After that, the two returned to the Dragon Palace.

After the White Tiger Clan Chief brought Si Lang back to the clan's territory, he immediately sent a letter to the clan chiefs of the Phoenix, Qilin, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird clans who had formed an alliance, informing them that Fairy Jiang had escaped from Mist Spirit Valley with the young dragon and that their current whereabouts were unknown.

The clan leaders are having a headache over the Demon Emperor's decree. Who would be willing to send their young lady to the Demon Emperor's palace?

Upon receiving the message from the White Tiger Clan Chief, they were all both surprised and delighted.

What's astonishing is how Jiang Li managed to break through the multiple blockades of the Misty Spirit Valley and escape unnoticed.

The good news is that the "Demon Queen" has disappeared. Does this mean that the Demon King's wedding ceremony cannot be held as scheduled?

Wouldn't that mean they wouldn't need to send their daughters to the palace?

In the White Tiger Clan's territory, the five clan leaders gathered solemnly in the council hall.

The Phoenix Clan Chief spoke first, his phoenix eyes sweeping over the White Tiger Clan Chief's tense face: "Brother White Tiger, how exactly did Fairy Jiang escape?"

The White Tiger Clan Chief's expression was complicated: "To be honest, I don't know either."

He recounted how Jiang Li asked Si Lang to send a "fish tank" out of the valley, and then disappeared without a trace along with the house.

The Phoenix Clan Chief quickly grasped the key point: "A fish tank?"

He frowned. "What kind of fish tank? What's so special about it?"

There must be something wrong with having Baihu Langjun send him out on purpose!

The White Tiger Clan Chief sighed deeply: "Fourth Brother is foolish and failed to grasp the fairy's profound meaning. I have pondered this repeatedly, and I believe that fish tank holds a secret; Fairy Jiang has probably hidden the young master inside!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
