Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 363 - 265: Dumb Enough to Die!

After Zhao Yi informed the Great Xia Imperial Court about the impending attack of the Nether Tree, he no longer paid attention to the progress of the matter.

In the following half month, Zhao Yi shuttled everywhere in the Cultivation World, inspecting whether the barriers sealing the Cultivation World from the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds had other gaps.

The final result made Zhao Yi very satisfied.

The sages of the Spirit Realm considered matters very thoroughly.

Except for leaving an ascension gap for the Buddhist Sect and other six major sects in the Treasure Tower Secret Realm, the world’s restriction had no flaws.

The first time Zhao Yi heard there was an outer restriction to the Cultivation World, he was truly enraged.

But in just half a year, his mindset underwent a dramatic change.

The restriction that once imprisoned now turned into a protective barrier.

Especially when Zhao Yi learned from the protagonist that the Treasure Tower Secret Realm had been exiled to the Chaos Void, Zhao Yi’s feelings towards that outer restriction became even more complex.

Time brings great changes.

Even the Spirit Realm sages who originally designed the sealing formation probably didn’t expect that the formation they used to trap the Cultivation World would now help it gain precious evacuation time.

Indeed.

Although he heard from the protagonist that the Nether Tree had been exiled, Zhao Yi insisted on sticking to the relocation plan.

Staying would be a huge gamble.

Even the artifact spirit of the Treasure Tower couldn’t confirm whether the Nether Tree could retrace its steps and find the Cultivation World after the exile of the Treasure Tower World.

If it were only Zhao Yi himself, he could leave anytime, and he would undoubtedly gamble with the creature.

If he won the gamble, Zhao Yi wouldn’t need to fuss and could safely watch the Nether Tree wreak havoc in the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds from the Cultivation World.

If he lost, Zhao Yi was only alone anyway; he could leave anytime. Could the furious Nether Tree chase him into the Chaos World to kill him?

But now it’s different.

Zhao Yi bears the safety of countless people in Great Xia on his shoulders.

Even if the probability of the Nether Tree invading the Cultivation World is less than ten percent, Zhao Yi dare not gamble.

Because if he lost the gamble, it would mean tens of billions of people would perish!

When Zhao Yi returned to Shengjing City, he was surprised to see that the protagonist was also there.

During his inspection of the Cultivation World, Zhao Yi had met the protagonist once.

The protagonist was also inspecting at that time.

Although the protagonist didn’t have Zhao Yi’s Heaven-Reaching Treasure Eye to detect spatial fluctuations, the artifact spirit of the Treasure Tower accompanied him.

The Treasure Tower Secret Realm is a space system Divine Artifact, and the artifact spirit of the Treasure Tower had been in the Realm for hundreds of thousands of years, familiar with spatial fluctuations to the utmost degree.

The Treasure Tower Secret Realm can sense spatial fluctuations within a thousand miles radius, a range much more extensive and its reconnaissance methods far more effective than Zhao Yi’s Heaven-Reaching Treasure Eye.

After listening to the protagonist recount his experiences in the Treasure Tower Secret Realm, Zhao Yi glanced at the sly artifact spirit of the Tower; although he was smiling, inside he was cursing, MMP!

Comparison is infuriating,

Zhao Yi had to struggle unimaginably hard to get what he wants.

The protagonist didn’t have to do anything; luck just adhered to him willingly.

At first, the old monk was captured by the creature, and immediately afterward, the artifact spirit of the Tower almost couldn’t wait to give itself over.

This must be the treatment of being heaven’s favored son. The favoritism is incredible!

After looking once more at the artifact spirit of the Tower, Zhao Yi repeated "I’m not envious at all" in his heart about a dozen times, then turned to look at the protagonist with a stern face.

"Why have you come? Did you discover something?"

"No!"

The protagonist did not notice Zhao Yi’s unusual expression and, in a serious tone, said: "I toured the Cultivation World with the Little Tower these days and didn’t find any spatial tunnels, so I came to discuss our next steps with you."

Little Tower?

Zhao Yi felt cringed by the sweet nickname.

But fortunately, the protagonist only called her Little Tower and not Little Treasure, or Zhao Yi’s goosebumps wouldn’t have stood a chance.

"I didn’t find anything on my side either," Zhao Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and joked, "You can’t blame the Sages who mastered the Dao Rule; they indeed didn’t leave any mistakes. But it’s good this way; it gives us more time to relocate."

"You still want to relocate?" The protagonist frowned, "The Treasure Tower Secret Realm has been exiled; the Nether Tree might not find this place, perhaps there’s no need to relocate anymore, after all the relocation would come at a great cost!"

Zhao Yi did not directly answer the protagonist’s question. Instead, he stood on the city wall and scanned the city within and without.

In the half a month Zhao Yi had been away, dramatic changes happened in Shengjing City.

The dam outside Cuiping Lake, originally the site of the Spring Literary Gathering, each early spring, youth from all over Great Xia would gather there for literary exchange, selecting the most talented youth of the land.

Su Qianqian had once won the title of "Capital City’s Most Talented Maiden" here.

As for why it wasn’t "The World’s Most Talented Maiden," Su Qianqian secretly went to participate in the competition, but she was eliminated in the preliminary round.

Then Su Qianqian forgot about it and self-claimed "Shengjing City’s Most Talented Maiden" ever since.

These days, in early spring again, the dam that should have been hosting the literary meeting was neatly stacked with various strange items.

At the dam’s foot, the Armor-Breaking Army and the Iron Armor Army jointly enforced military lockdown.

Seeing this, the youth who came from afar for the literary meeting, although dissatisfied, dared not to say anything, only hoping these soldiers would quickly remove the items, not to delay their attendance at the gathering.

When Zhao Yi withdrew his gaze from the dam of Cuiping Lake, he happened to hear several young talents in the distance complaining.

Spring had arrived, and their hearts, which had simmered in winter, could not help but become restless.

Yet, the Imperial Guard had sealed Cuiping Lake.

The young talents, restless and with nowhere to vent except indulging in countless curses against Zhao Yi, the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Ignorant people are indeed the happiest!"

Zhao Yi retracted his gaze, turned to look at the protagonist, and sighed: "In my heart, I really don’t want to relocate. Just like you said, the Nether Tree has been exiled; it might not pose a threat to the Cultivation World again. If it really comes, I heard it nourishes according to what it eats, and since there are so many fools in Shengjing City, once the Nether Tree eats them, maybe it would die of foolishness, which counts as waste material utilization!"

Protagonist: "..."

"His tongue is still as venomous as ever!" The protagonist muttered in the Divine Sense World to the Tower artifact spirit.

In the Divine Sense World, the girl who was the embodiment of the Tower artifact spirit slightly tilted her head, a hint of interest glistening in her eyes.

"What if what he says makes sense?"

"What?"

"Those foolish people! If the Buddha eats these fools and ends up ’dying of foolishness’, wouldn’t the crisis be resolved?"

"..."

The protagonist was at a loss where to begin amidst so many points to ridicule.

Originally thinking the girl was very wise,

Now, it seemed she was quite a fool.

Absurdity of getting ’killed by foolishness’!
