Five kinds of medicine in another world

Chapter 151: The Four Saints Are the Only Ones to Break Through, Dilemma

After both armies retreated, Xiao Yao and Gu Shijiu slowly fell from the sky like two light feathers.

"How is it? Brother Xiao Yao? What kind of formation is this? How should we break it?"

Lu Chao had sharp eyes. As soon as he saw the two people land, he rushed forward impatiently and asked anxiously.

Xiao Yao nodded slightly in response, then shook his head gently, with an embarrassed look on his face, and said slowly:

"This formation is a sixth-level formation, but it is not easy to break it. The formation they set up is actually the famous life-demanding formation during the Huangli Rebellion, but it has been improved."

Xiao Yao paused and continued:

"Back then, to break the original life-demanding formation, it required the concerted efforts of eight seventh-order emperor-level masters. Now, for this improved version of the life-demanding formation, the number of people required has become four, but it requires the cooperation of four eighth-order saints to break it."

After hearing what Xiao Yao said, Lu Chao suddenly fell into silence, his brows tightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about some countermeasures.

At this time, Gu Shijiu on the side interrupted in confusion:

"What do you mean? Is it so difficult to dispatch two saints from the imperial court?"

However, Lu Chao answered without hesitation:

“It’s not a question of difficulty, it’s that it’s impossible.”

His tone was extremely firm, as if he already had a deep understanding of the matter.

Gu Shijiu was about to ask a question, but Lu Chao continued:

"As the great general of the dynasty, I am quite clear about the dynasty's foundation. If eight seventh-level emperors are needed, needless to say, the dynasty will definitely send them to rescue. But if they are eighth-level saints, it is probably impossible."

"why?"

Gu Shijiu asked doubtfully.

"Because there are only two eighth-level saints in the dynasty, one is the Shenlong Emperor and the other is the Yang'an Emperor. Both of them are in seclusion. The current emperor of the dynasty, the Yangtian Emperor, is the third emperor. Do you think the emperor will let the two secluded ancestors come out so easily?"

Lu Chao said with a wry smile.

"Forehead……"

Gu Shijiu was speechless for a moment. Although what Lu Chao said made some sense, in Gu Shijiu's eyes, these reasons were not much and could not convince him.

Seeing this, Xiao Yao at the side smiled helplessly and explained:

"On the one hand, the royal ancestors who are in seclusion are all seeking to break through to the ninth level. They have said that they should not be disturbed until the survival of the dynasty is at stake."

Xiao Yao’s first explanation was so reasonable that Gu Shijiu couldn’t help but nod his head.

"On the other hand, Emperor Yangtian is different from the other two emperors. He is obsessed with power and not martial arts. Although his realm is not low, he prefers to use strategy to win people over. Therefore, his method is usually to mobilize the power of the martial arts world for his own use, and he does not easily use the power of the royal family."

As soon as Xiao Yao finished speaking, Lu Chao interrupted him:

"Brother Xiao Yao, you can't say these things. You can't say them."

"Haha, Lu Chao, I am the dart saint. Who in the world can stop me from talking? Even if Emperor Yang Tian knew about this, wouldn't he just laugh it off?"

Xiao Yao exuded a domineering aura and said with a chuckle.

Lu Chao shut up instantly because he knew that what Xiao Yao said was true.

Although he was a first-rank general of the dynasty and his cultivation was as high as the seventh level, on the one hand, he had already made a martial arts oath to be loyal to the royal family, and on the other hand, a seventh-rank general did not have any conditions to challenge the royal family.

But Xiao Yao is different.

The cultivation level of an eighth-level escort saint is considered to be outstanding among the eighth levels. An eighth-level saint is already the ceiling of the entire world. No one will disrespect such a person. After all, those old foxes all understand one thing.

That is, on the day of the arrival of the immortal, every additional eighth-rank saint will give the human race one more hope of survival.

No one will take action against his own hope of survival, and no one does not want to continue living.

And the one who wants to survive the most is undoubtedly the one with the most noble status, the emperor.

Lu Chao smiled bitterly and said:

"Brother Xiaoyao, although you are right, please don't say it in front of me. It's not easy for me to do it."

"Hahaha, you, you seem to be getting more and more alive. Where's the high-spirited spirit you had when you just broke through to the sixth level? Lu Chao, Lu Chao, you really impressed me."

There was a hint of sarcasm in Xiao Yao's tone.

He met Lu Chao when he was a fifth-level Escort King. At that time, he had just broken through to the sixth-level Escort Emperor. A few days later, Lu Chao also broke through to the sixth-level Emperor. At that time, Lu Chao regarded the world as dirt and had his own ideals of revenge. He was a peer competitor that he valued very much.

Now?

Lu Chao is no longer the Lu Chao he used to be.

When Lu Chao heard Xiao Yao's words, a trace of longing flashed in his eyes, as if he was missing his past self.

"Brother Xiao Yao, times have changed, and I have changed too. I have no choice."

Lu Chao sighed softly, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed.

"Ugh……"

Xiao Yao sighed and said nothing more.

Gu Shijiu stood aside, watching Xiao Yao and the other man finish their reminiscence, and came up to talk:

"Two big brothers, can we come back later to reminisce about the past? How should we resolve this situation? We have to find a solution, right?"

Gu Shijiu originally didn't want to interrupt the reminiscing between Xiao Yao and Lu Chao, but in his heart, human life was of paramount importance. Especially after watching two thousand bodies of innocent civilians thrown out of Zhenxie County City, Gu Shijiu could no longer sit still.

Gu Shijiu could only interrupt the two of them and speak.

Xiao Yao glanced at Gu Nineteen and saw the anxious look on his face. He understood what was going on and began to admire Gu Nineteen's pure and innocent mentality even more.

Xiao Yao said:

"Nineteen, you are very smart. Please share your ideas."

Gu Nineteen shook his head and said:

"The only way now is to break the formation. To break the formation, we need to find four eighth-level saints. We are still short of two. Do you know where we can find saints?"

Xiao Yao said softly:

"The escort leader of our Hengdao Escort Agency and the two deputy escort leaders who are the supreme elders are all at the eighth level. The two emperors of the dynasty are also at the eighth level. The head of the Zhao family, Zhao Tianran, is at the eighth level. Apart from them, there is no one at the eighth level in public."

Gu Shijiu looked at Lu Chao, and Lu Chao also shook his head and said:

"What I know is consistent with what Big Brother Xiao Yao knows. Apart from this, I have never heard of the existence of an eighth-level."

Gu Shijiu thought for a moment and said softly:

"The Patriarch of the Zhao family, Zhao Tianran, can go and ask for help. Based on my understanding of the Patriarch of the Zhao family, he will not ignore this matter and will most likely come to support us."

Gu Shijiu turned to look at Xiao Yao and asked:

"Does the escort agency's Grand Elder and Escort Master have a chance to come out?"

Xiao Yao scratched his head, obviously stumped by Gu Shijiu's question, and was a little hesitant.
