Chapter 132 Seeking Rescue
After optimizing three pieces of Tier 5 equipment, including the Shiyuan Hall, Chen Yuan felt more confident in facing the crisis. The weight in his heart was lifted, and he could devote himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye. Since blocking all those malicious communications, Chen Yuan had been able to enjoy a rare period of peaceful cultivation.
However, the apparent calm does not mean that the undercurrents have subsided; the schemes against him have simply shifted their focus temporarily.
Two months later, Chen Yuan suddenly received an email from "Xia" seeking help.
Within the virtual universe, Chen Yuan quickly finished reading the email.
"These troubles just won't end."
Chen Yuan frowned. After realizing they couldn't get anything from him directly, these people had come up with the idea of using threats to force him to leave Ziyao Star.
The email mentioned that Xia was invited by a friend to explore a world ruled by a world master, and unexpectedly triggered the test for the world master's inheritance.
And coincidentally, Xia successfully passed the test and obtained a precious World Lord-level inheritance.
But a crisis followed—she was besieged in the Land of Inheritance by a group of greedy adventurers.
Fortunately, the palace's defense system was strong enough that as long as Xia didn't leave on her own, no one outside could force their way in.
But this also means that she is trapped inside, because a large number of star-level and cosmic-level adventurers have gathered outside the palace after hearing the news.
With nowhere else to turn, Xia sent Chen Yuan this email pleading for help.
In addition, she mentioned in the email that she had sent a distress message to her teacher, but because that world was under the jurisdiction of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, only martial artists of the cosmic level and below were allowed to enter.
Her teacher was just an ordinary realm master, and could not violate the rules of the mercenary alliance to enter it. He could only provide support from the outside.
That's why Xia thought of Chen Yuan. In her opinion, with Chen Yuan's mastery of the Law of Wind, he should be able to easily take her away. Once they left the World Lord's World, she would be safe with her teacher's protection.
In the email, Xia promised that if Chen Yuan could come to help, she could choose a top-tier soul defense technique from her inheritance and give it to him.
Of course, it wasn't that Xia was unwilling to give more, but rather that the inheritance she received belonged to a realm lord who cultivated the laws of fire and space, and the inheritance was not a good match for Chen Yuan.
That soul defense technique was already one of the very few top-tier techniques that Chen Yuan could use.
However, Chen Yuan didn't care about the secret technique.
What alarmed him was the sheer number of coincidences in the whole affair.
At the Black Dragon Mountain branch, Xia was practically his only friend, and it just so happened that this friend received the inheritance at this very moment.
Being trapped in such a dangerous situation seems far too suspicious.
Chen Yuan didn't believe there was no one plotting behind this.
But it's impossible to say that Xia was one of the accomplices.
The other party is probably unaware of this matter and is most likely implicated by him.
After all, the whole thing stemmed from the wealth he exposed—wealth that Xia had initially given him.
Xia had no reason to turn against him; it was more like a trap set by a mastermind, and Xia was simply used as bait.
After all, compared to the wealth he revealed, Xia was the real rich person, with a net worth exceeding 100,000 Mixed Yuan Units, and her total wealth was still growing at an astonishing rate.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan felt somewhat helpless.
The mastermind behind this scheme certainly wouldn't know about Xia, since unlike me, she can't cultivate the Nine Luminaries Body, and naturally wouldn't actively reveal her wealth.
If people knew about Xia's wealth, then those people would no longer be targeting him.
But no matter what, Xia's current crisis was ultimately influenced by him, and Chen Yuan couldn't just sit idly by.
As for whether he would fall into the other party's trap, Chen Yuan could only say that with the Shiyuan Palace in hand, as long as the mastermind behind the scenes was not an immortal, he had nothing to fear.
Judging from the fact that the other party was able to know about his relationship with Xia, the mastermind behind the scenes is likely an insider of the company, which means it cannot be a high and mighty immortal, but at most a realm lord.
Given this, Chen Yuan had no reason to fear the other party.
He quickly replied to Xia with an email, saying that he would come immediately and asked her to wait patiently.
After receiving Xia's reply, Chen Yuan dialed Shi Lan's number again.
Shi Lan's image quickly appeared on the virtual screen. He frowned slightly and asked, "What happened?"
"Teacher, is there a business opportunity you'd like to do?"
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "The reward is a top-tier soul defense technique."
In his reply to Xia earlier, he had already suggested inviting Shi Lan to go with him, offering the secret soul technique as payment. Xia immediately agreed.
"A secret technique for soul defense?"
Shi Lan nodded slightly, then her eyes lit up and she immediately became interested: "Tell me in detail."
As a realm lord of humble origins, Shi Lan is eager to acquire any top-tier secret techniques, let alone rare soul defense techniques.
Although the Black Dragon Mountain branch's treasury contains soul-secret techniques, they are all commonplace; none can be considered excellent, let alone top-tier.
"That's how it is—"
Chen Yuan quickly explained the cause and effect of the matter and added his own speculation.
However, after hearing this, Shi Lan not only showed no joy, but instead looked solemn: "You want to personally enter the World Lord's World to save people?"
That's too risky; there are quite a few cosmic-level beings gathered there.
"Don't worry, teacher. Since I'm willing to go, I'm confident I can succeed."
Chen Yuan smiled calmly and said, "If it's only at the cosmic level, it wouldn't pose a threat to me."
"Oh?" Shi Lan's eyes were sharp as she gave him a deep look. "It seems your strength has improved quite a bit during this time. You don't even care about universe-level opponents anymore."
"Okay, I believe in your abilities."
Shi Lan stopped trying to dissuade him and chose to trust his student's judgment. He said in a deep voice, "However, what do you need me to do? That world is under the jurisdiction of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, and I cannot force my way in."
"The teacher only needs to provide support from outside."
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "I suspect that someone is plotting behind this incident. When I leave the Realm Lord's World, that will probably be the time when they make their move."
"At that time, I hope the teacher can step in and stop it."
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Shi Lan's gaze was deep: "If the other party is truly an internal member of the company, and dares to attack you, I guarantee they won't have a good ending."
"With the teacher's words, the students feel at ease."
Chen Yuan smiled and said, "Then the student shall set off immediately. Teacher, please come as well. The location is on Crimson Maple Star in the Depra Galaxy."
The Thousand Flames World, governed by the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance.
Shi Lan pondered for a moment: "I understand, but it's quite far from where I am. I estimate it will take about a month to get there."
"If you arrive first, remember not to rush out of the Realm Lord's World. Wait for my notification."
"I understand," Chen Yuan said solemnly, "Thank you for your help, teacher."
"It's nothing."
Shi Lan shook her head slightly and said with a faint smile, "Then it's settled. Remember to wait for me."
After saying that, he hung up the call.
Meanwhile, Chen Yuan also left the virtual universe, preparing to head to Crimson Maple Star.
He first returned to the cultivation room and put away the nutrient capsule. Then, with a thought, a miniature palace flew out of his body and slowly rotated in the air.
"Hmm, the exterior of this palace is still too ostentatious. It would be bad if it were mistaken for a priceless treasure."
Arriving outside the manor, Chen Yuan gazed at the ancient and magnificent exterior of the Shiyuan Hall, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Irele, let's change the appearance of the Shiyuan Hall. Let's make it look like the Azure Fox."
"Yes, Master."
As Ireil responded, the Primordial Palace rose into the air and rapidly transformed in a dazzling light, instantly becoming the shape of the Azure Fox.
The moment the hatch opened, Chen Yuan vanished inside in a flash.
The next moment, the Shiyuan Palace, disguised as the Qinghu, soared into the sky, broke through the atmosphere of Ziyao Star in an instant, and after a brief acceleration, plunged into the embrace of the dark universe.
