Guarding the River of Time-Chapter 322 - 313: Sacrifice Others to Save Myself
"What kind of treasure is it? Let me have a look?" The boss’s interest was piqued by the third brother’s words.
With that, the third brother slowly took out a bronze brocade box from his sleeve.
After slowly opening it, they found a transparent crystal stone the size of a fist, shaped like a heart, inside.
As the transparent heart-shaped crystal stone appeared, the entire Immortal Island shook, and the Spiritual Power in the air became noticeably denser.
"I do not know exactly what this treasure is."
"But there’s one thing I can be sure of, this is definitely a top-tier treasure."
"And it’s crucially important to the entire Longevity Immortal Realm."
The third brother recounted the commotion caused when he stole this treasure.
At that time, he followed a meticulously planned route designed by Xiao Wu, and under his cover, successfully infiltrated the very center of the Longevity Immortal Realm’s Imperial City, and finally found the treasure about ten thousand meters underground beneath the Imperial City.
The treasure was protected by a grand array, but fortunately, Dong’Er provided a method to break it, allowing him to easily pass through the array and ultimately get to the treasure.
When he forcefully pulled out the heart-shaped crystal stone, the entire ground of the Longevity Immortal Realm began to shake violently.
Yes, that’s right, the entire ground of the Longevity Immortal Realm simultaneously started to tremble, countless places and mountain ranges began to collapse, as if an unprecedented great earthquake swept through the entire realm.
Soon, the Domain Master of the Longevity Immortal Realm, along with five Vice Domain Masters, took notice and launched an attack on the third brother and Xiao Wu.
Since Xiao Wu was on lookout outside, he was first surrounded by the five Vice Domain Masters, barely holding on for half an hour until the third brother returned.
This is also why Xiao Wu suffered such severe injuries.
Hearing this, the boss’s face darkened, and he snorted coldly.
"You call yourself a good third brother, going in to grab the treasure while leaving Xiao Wu outside to get beaten up!"
After obtaining the treasure, the third brother didn’t stick around to fight; he took the heavily injured Xiao Wu and began to flee.
To make the escape easier, he slapped Xiao Wu unconscious for easier carrying.
Although the third brother was strong, facing the top experts of the Longevity Immortal Realm, especially on their turf, he couldn’t hold out, so he kept fleeing without fighting back.
The Domain Masters of the Longevity Immortal Realm seemed to have gone mad, relentlessly pursuing him.
Fortunately, the third brother had numerous escape tactics and finally managed to escape from the Longevity Immortal Realm.
It wasn’t over yet. Several Domain Masters from the Longevity Immortal Realm mobilized billions of troops to hunt him down.
...
Hearing this, the boss clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "Are you saying you’ve provoked a war with the Longevity Immortal Realm, starting the battle prematurely?"
If the Longevity Immortal Realm knew that the treasure thief came from the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, it would be very dangerous.
According to the plan, attacking the Longevity Immortal Realm would require at least ten thousand more years of preparation and development before being feasible.
After all, the Longevity Immortal Realm is one of the pinnacles of the Upper-Rank Immortal Realms, almost reaching the Divine Domain; its comprehensive power and military strength are beyond what the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm can match.
"No, no, no, big brother, don’t be hasty, listen to me,"
The third brother quickly gestured to explain:
"After escaping the Longevity Immortal Realm, I created a hundred clones, each escaping in a different direction, fleeing to a hundred different immortal realms."
"This forced the enemy’s forces to split and pursue in a hundred different directions."
"No one will suspect our Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm."
"At least not for now."
Hearing this, the boss’s tightly furrowed brow and clenched fist slightly relaxed.
Only then did the boss realize why Dong’Er advised him not to overreact.
The next second, Dong’Er slowly walked from the room into the courtyard.
The boss asked Dong’Er, "Dong’Er, how did you know?"
Dong’Er replied, "I inferred it."
It has to be said, Dong’Er’s maneuver was a stroke of genius, perfectly supporting the third brother and Xiao Wu and eliminating some of the suspicion.
The brocade bag Dong’Er gave to the boss was to prevent him from reacting too obviously. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Because the third brother’s clones went to a hundred different immortal realms, the Longevity Immortal Realm was left with a hundred suspects.
If the boss made his actions too obvious, mobilizing countless troops to face the Longevity Immortal Realm’s chasing soldiers, it would be equivalent to announcing to the Longevity Immortal Realm that they knew in advance and were preparing to intercept, which would make the intention too clear and increase suspicion.
The people of the Longevity Immortal Realm are no fools. Any abnormality would draw their attention.
If they suspected and launched an early attack on the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, it would completely disrupt their original plans and lead to catastrophic disaster.
So, the third brother’s move was really a gamble.
If it was not handled well, they would be doomed.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, the third brother knew to distract the enemy and shift the battle to more than a hundred other immortal realms, with the perfect support and coordination of Dong’Er.
Had any step gone wrong, the Longevity Immortal Realm’s army would be at their doorstep tomorrow.
However, those hundred realms would suffer greatly.
The third brother deliberately selected a hundred well-powered Middle Upper-Rank Immortal Realms and avoided any realms under the Heaven Shepherd Alliance, redirecting the conflict to other unfamiliar realms.
Emphasizing on sacrificing others to save themselves.
....
At this moment, at the border of the Ancient Peace Immortal Realm.
The Longevity Immortal Realm’s army had pursued all the way to the border of the Ancient Peace Immortal Realm.
"Hand over the thief quickly!"
"Or else, my Longevity Immortal Realm’s army will flatten your Ancient Peace Immortal Realm by tomorrow!"
Facing the shout from a general of the Longevity Immortal Realm.
The Domain Master of the Ancient Peace Immortal Realm also looked wronged and said, "What thief?"
.....
"Still playing dumb and pretending?"
"We’ve chased all the way here."
"Hand him over quickly, don’t force us to take action!"
Facing the question, the Domain Master Gu An was about to burst into tears, unable to understand what the other party was talking about.
Such scenes were simultaneously playing out at the borders of dozens and even hundreds of immortal realms.
...
"You kid, I don’t know whether to scold or praise you..." After understanding the whole sequence of events, the boss didn’t know if he should be angry or impressed.
The third brother chuckled, thinking the situation was handled perfectly this time, like hitting a gold mine.
The next second, the third brother, holding the treasure, went up to Dong’Er and asked, "Dong’Er, take a look."
"Can you tell what kind of treasure this is?"
After all, once he stole this treasure, the entire Longevity Immortal Realm went crazy.
Upon hearing this, Dong’Er’s gaze fell on the heart-shaped crystal stone in the box.
After a few seconds of looking at it, Dong’Er suddenly paused, then slowly said, "This time... we’ve truly hit the jackpot."
