Protect Our Chief

...

Emperor’s Son An’s proposal sounded extremely reasonable, even Emperor Longchang, who was "forcibly eating melon" on the side, felt that Emperor’s Son An’s words were justified.

However, the Emperor’s heart bled, for the "Ancestor Panpan’s Protection" was indeed a battlefield lifesaving Divine Artifact, but it required Immortal Spirit Qi to activate. The stored Immortal Spirit Qi was only enough for one activation and one day’s maintenance.

Once the Immortal Spirit Qi was exhausted, one had to shamelessly carry billions of funds to the Immortal Dynasty to "beg" a True Immortal master for a recharge, and the item had to stay there until someone had the time and leisure to do this odd job.

Having tasted this experience several times in this lifetime, the Emperor was unwilling to face the master’s whims again, and directly sealed away Panpan’s Protection.

Yet, it was precisely this action that led to Daqian’s star of hope, "Prince Hao," falling on the Outer Domain Battlefield.

Therefore, when Emperor’s Son An prepared for the Southern Border expedition this time, the Emperor had equipped him with "Ancestor Panpan’s Protection" decades ago, yet unexpectedly, it had been awaited for decades.

At this moment, Emperor Longchang really wished to lift the helmet, reversing the entire situation with the power of an Emperor, and thus avoid wasting the Immortal Spirit Qi of the Secret Treasure. Yet unexpectedly, Wang Shouzhe’s unhurried voice came to his ear: "Your Majesty, remember to wait for my signal when I smash the cup."

Damn "signal when I smash the cup"! You’re giving me a ghost to believe!

Emperor Longchang was so furious that smoke was practically coming out of his seven orifices, cursing Wang Shouzhe and Emperor’s Son An as two spendthrifts. But due to his words, as much grievance as he had, he could only swallow it back down.

Enough~ Wait a little longer~ Let’s see what kind of "scheme" these two youngsters are up to.

At this time.

The three Purple Mansion Realm leaders of the Grand Marshal’s Guard Camp also focused their gaze on Prince Dexin and Grand Marshal Xiao Limo. Evidence need not be announced publicly, but Emperor’s Son had to be convincingly persuaded, right?

Otherwise, how was it different from rebellion?

Prince Dexin and Xiao Limo exchanged a glance, finding this plan feasible. Prince Dexin laughed coldly in his heart, "Ancestor Panpan’s Protection" was indeed a battlefield protection Divine Artifact, but it also had fatal flaws.

Once this Secret Treasure was activated and entered the Sancturary Space, it became completely isolated from the outside world, and one had to wait for the Immortal Spirit Qi to be exhausted before they could leave.

Four people in an enclosed space for an entire day, how many things could happen? Prince Dexin, being a dignified Divine Power Realm Cultivator, didn’t even need the Grand Marshal to act to torment those two youngsters a hundred times.

Emperor’s Son An’s move was seeking his own death.

"If this is the case, then let the Grand Marshal preside over fairness. I will bring out evidence in the Sanctuary Space and confront Wang Shouzhe, providing an explanation for Emperor’s Son An," Prince Dexin said righteously, "By then, Emperor’s Son An will be convinced."

"That’s very good," the Personal Guard Camp leaders and the soldiers also breathed a sigh of relief.

They had great trust in the Grand Marshal, but did not want to completely disobey Emperor’s Son An’s orders without evidence. This would make them uneasy.

But as long as Emperor’s Son An and the Grand Marshal reached an agreement, they would not fear even the mountains of daggers or seas of flames.

In this swiftly reached agreement.

Emperor’s Son An casually flipped his hand, revealing a jade artifact in his hand, with an ancient and heavy sheen. Judging by its shape, it seemed to be a jade bracelet.

As soon as it appeared, a rich Spiritual Rhyme emanated from the jade artifact, characteristic of the power of Immortal Spirit Qi, vast yet light as wind. Where the Spiritual Rhyme reached, the surrounding space subtly distorted and rippled.

Perceiving this aura, the people around couldn’t help but show a hint of yearning on their faces, even Prince Dexin and Old Marshal Xiao Limo were no exceptions.

This was the power of a True Immortal, incomparably strong.

In legend, a True Immortal could have a lifespan spanning ten thousand years, capable of changing the world with a simple gesture, an existence of unimaginable power. Even the term "Immortal Dynasty" in the Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty referred to having an unparalleled expert of the True Immortal Realm present within its boundaries. This was enough to deter the majority of countries.

However, Emperor’s Son An, having seen it many times, was quite composed.

He beckoned to Wang Shouzhe, Prince Dexin, and Old Grand Marshal to stand a bit closer. Wang Shouzhe frowned with a "troubled" look and approached slightly closer, deliberately standing away from Prince Dexin. Prince Dexin coldly snorted upon seeing this, not minding, and leisurely approached a bit. Old Grand Marshal silently followed suit.

Seeing everyone close enough, Emperor’s Son An infused his own Profound Qi into "Ancestor Panpan’s Protection," instantly activating the jade bracelet.

A force filled with indescribable might blossomed from the jade bracelet, as vast as the world’s power, forming into an almost transparent energy that instantly enveloped the four people.

In the next moment, the four of them disappeared without a trace.

Not even a hint was left behind in their original spot.

This demonstrated the prowess of Panpan’s Protection, where once entering the Sanctuary Space, it was as if one had completely vanished, even Emperor Lingxu would find it challenging to trace, unless a True Immortal adept at the Path of Space intervened, only then within a certain time was absolute defense maintained.

However, this Secret Treasure was primarily to prevent sudden incidents and was not without flaws.

The biggest problem was that "Ancestor Panpan’s Protection" consumed Immortal Spirit Qi, yet those protected did not have the ability to control Immortal Spirit Qi, thus once entering the Sanctuary Space, movement was restricted, and departure could only occur passively after the Immortal Spirit Qi was depleted.
