Cultivating Through The Game-Chapter 749 - 389: The Gaze Above the River of Time_2

Chu Tiange looked at the Chu King and said without words, "I should first solidify my cultivation to avoid regressing in my realm. The matter of marriage can wait for a later time."

"Alright, I've already chosen a suitable match for you. When the time comes, you can just propose."

"Who would dare disrespect the Chu King's Mansion? Besides, marrying you is a great blessing."

The Chu King patted Chu Tiange's shoulder and said earnestly, "Tiange, I'm already old and have no prospects. But you are different. You are more outstanding than I was in my youth, and you will definitely achieve great things."

Chu Tiange looked at his dear grandfather and smiled, "Grandfather, you're not old. You can live for another ten thousand years… no, you can live forever…"

"Hahaha~" The Chu King laughed without saying more.

Meanwhile, the Celestial Secret Pavilion Master turned the Hun Tianyi to search for Lu Yu's whereabouts, but after searching the entire accessible range, he could not find any trace of Lu Yu, his expression turning slightly grave.

The Saint Heir of the Divine Weapon Pavilion had fallen in the shattered world, which was not a good sign and might provoke a conflict between the Divine Weapon Pavilion and the royal factions.

He searched once more, but still did not find Lu Yu's trace and could only move on to the next person.

Lu Yu watched as beams of light lit up one by one in the distance, yet none appeared at his location. He began to sense something was wrong.

Without hesitation, he immediately rushed towards the location of the spatial vortex.

However, he missed the time for retrieval, and even though Lu Yu entered the scanning range of the Hun Tianyi, he would not be taken back.

Lu Yu noticed that fewer and fewer people remained, and nearly all the people from the Divine Weapon Pavilion were gone, leaving only the disciples from other sects and great families.

Logically, he should have been the first from the Divine Weapon Pavilion to be taken back.

But now, all the people from the Divine Weapon Pavilion were gone; it was the turn of disciples from the powerful factions to go back, yet no beam appeared to guide him.

Lu Yu felt helpless. Not wanting to be abandoned here, he could only proactively advance toward the spatial vortex.

Even if the Celestial Secret Pavilion did not retrieve him, he had to enter the spatial vortex on his own to return to the Divine Martial World.

...

Yan King stepped out of the carriage and walked beside the Celestial Secret Pavilion Master, staring grimly at him, clasping his hands and asking, "Master Qi, why has my son not returned?"

Qi Guanyu, the Celestial Secret Pavilion Master, was also the Grand Diviner of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Faced with Yan King's questioning, Qi Guanyu could only speak honestly, "I have searched for the whereabouts of your two sons, but there has been no response. As per the regulations, their recall order is temporarily skipped."

"After going through the entire list once, I will attempt to search for the two of them again. Please do not worry, Yan King; they might just be out of the Hun Tianyi's search range." Qi Guanyu could only try to reassure Yan King this way.

If it weren't for Yan King's noble status, if Yan Nantian and Yan Beichong hadn't returned, they wouldn't be searched for a second time after everyone else has been retrieved.

Activating Hun Tianyi requires a massive consumption of Spiritual Qi, and retrieving people from the river of time is no easy task—it takes a great toll on him as well.

Seeing this, Yan King had nothing to say. Since Qi Guanyu promised to search individually for his sons' whereabouts afterward, he couldn't say much more now.

After all, with various forces watching closely, though his sons were of noble birth, Yan King dared not openly offend many factions by demanding Qi Guanyu fetch his sons first.

If they hadn't been attempted, it might be acceptable, but asking again after retrieval would be excessive, drawing complaints against the Prince Yan's Mansion from other factions.

The speed of retrieval later increased significantly because those towards the end of the list mainly came from families and sects outside the imperial city, and were significantly weaker, with lower survival rates.

Especially this time, Qi Guanyu used Hun Tianyi to scan, and since there was no one, there was no need to retrieve, saving much time.

On the square, elders from various great families and sects began to stir, seeing that no one had emerged from Hun Tianyi for a while. They moved toward Qi Guanyu to inquire about the situation.

Clang~ The sound of weapons clashing rang out as the soldiers standing in the square blocked their way with their weapons.

A general with a divine sword at his waist walked over, glanced at the crowd, and said coldly, "No commotion allowed; do not leave the designated area."

The people could only retreat in frustration, facing the guards standing before them, for they were not like Yan King, who could disregard and challenge the guards.

Though many present were much stronger individually than a single guard, they still dared not act rashly.

...

Lu Yu watched anxiously as the last person was transported away. He was very close to the spatial vortex now—soon, he could enter it… but there was no one left.

With no one remaining, the spatial vortex could close at any moment. If it closed, Lu Yu would be trapped here permanently.

He accelerated continuously, with gravity emanating from the surrounding debris like an invisible giant hand, grabbing Lu Yu's body and hurling him toward the spatial vortex.

...

Qi Guanyu shook his head helplessly at Yan King, remaining silent.

Yan King's face was very grim. Just now, after Qi Guanyu completed another round of summoning and searched once more on Yan King's behalf, they still found no trace of his two sons.

"Damn it, let this old man do it himself!" Yan King angrily said and stepped forward to seize control of the Hun Tianyi.

Qi Guanyu's face also changed, turning unpleasant with anger. He could not hand control of the Hun Tianyi to Yan King, and he shouted, "Yan King, what are you trying to do?"
