Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 341 - 243: Zhao Yi’s Ping’an County!

The Zhao clan’s ancestor did not have a great reputation, largely because of the unreliable descendants who brought harm upon harm to the family across generations.

Just like Zhao Yi now, casually swearing by the ancestor.

One day, when he breaks his oath, the reputation of the Zhao clan’s ancestor can be imagined.

The Sage of Time was unaware of the numerous misdeeds of Zhao clan’s descendants.

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, she believed him.

Or rather, she had no choice but to believe him.

Zhao Yi’s slash not only severed Yao Su’s head but also the vitality of the Sage of Time.

Yao Su’s head was nearly devoid of life, and the Sage of Time was incredibly weak.

She had no option but to trust that Zhao Yi would keep his promise.

"The treasure vault of my true form is at....."

The Sage of Time paused for a moment, then gave an address unfamiliar to Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi repeated it, memorizing the address, intending to visit the Spirit Realm when he had time.

Then he said to the Sage of Time, "Su Qianqian has run far, it will be a while before she can be caught. Do you have any way to preserve your life temporarily?"

The Sage of Time, as if predicting Zhao Yi’s excuse, weakly suggested, "There is a locust tree in the forest, please help me cut off a branch, and my Divine Soul can temporarily reside in it." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Does the locust tree have such a function?" Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow.

He then glanced around, seeing a locust tree not far away, and went over to cut off a branch.

Upon approaching, Zhao Yi suddenly remembered that he had Spiritual Power and did not need to do it manually.

So, Zhao Yi pinched his fingers and crumpled the locust branch into fragments.

Sage of Time: ???

Zhao Yi extended his hand, and the locust tree in the distance rustled as a branch snapped off.

This was Zhao Yi’s first time using magic, and his control over remote casting was not particularly good.

The branch wobbled, taking a long time to fly over.

Seeing this, the Sage of Time was dumbfounded.

She understood the absurdity of Zhao Yi’s act like taking off pants to fart.

"Enough!"

Zhao Yi caught the branch, wiped the non-existent sweat off his forehead, and handed it to the Sage of Time, saying, "Here, it wore me out!"

The Sage of Time remained silent.

She suspected Zhao Yi was deliberately stalling to wear her down, but had no evidence.

"Dead?"

Seeing no movement from the Sage of Time, Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow, thinking she was dead.

Then he felt the locust branch in his hand become slightly heavier.

The additional weight of the branch was light.

Zhao Yi had read foreign studies on life, death, and souls.

After numerous tests, it was estimated that the human soul weighs about 21 grams.

The added weight on the locust branch wasn’t even that much.

Not 21 grams, not even 10 grams.

Zhao Yi speculated that the missing weight was due to the Sage of Time being a Residual Soul.

If Zhao Yi’s physical body hadn’t been tempered to extreme toughness with highly enhanced senses, he might not have noticed the slight weight increase.

"You seem disappointed?"

Yao Su’s head was already brain dead.

The Sage of Time’s Residual Soul was stored in the locust wood and couldn’t speak, only communicate with Zhao Yi through Divine Thought.

Old, decayed, heavy, deathly still...

As soon as the Sage of Time’s Divine Soul approached, countless negative emotions surged toward Zhao Yi’s Divine Soul.

Zhao Yi’s sanity value plummeted.

If he hadn’t sensed the extreme weakness of the Sage of Time’s Divine Soul, Zhao Yi would have crushed the locust wood, dispersing her soul.

"No." Zhao Yi shook his head, "I’m just curious about one thing."

"What is it?" The Sage of Time asked.

Looking at the branch in his hand, Zhao Yi thoughtfully asked, "I’m curious, are only Undead Mages this hard to kill, or are all Sages so troublesome?"

The Sage of Time didn’t answer but asked, "Do you want to kill Sages?"

"That’s not hard to guess."

Zhao Yi didn’t deny it: "I’ve said before, the Spirit Realm is too strong. The Cultivation World must have its own Great Daoist Sage; otherwise, it will only be at others’ mercy."

The Sage of Time replied, "A Great Daoist Sage cannot be killed by anyone. Only a Great Daoist Sage can kill another Great Daoist Sage!"

Zhao Yi nodded, unabashedly saying, "I know, I heard your conversation with the young monk."

"So, I adjusted my target."

"Since the Great Daoist Sage is hard to deal with for now, I’ll just play with a few ordinary ones."

"If the quality is lacking, compensate with quantity. As long as there are enough Sages, I believe the Cultivation World can be protected."

Hearing this, the Sage of Time’s Divine Thought trembled, clearly shocked by Zhao Yi’s audacious nonsense.

The Sage of Time was speechless for a long time before saying, "You’re a madman!"

Hmm?

Zhao Yi’s heart stirred: "You called me mad, but not a fool... does that mean my plan to heap Sages in the Cultivation World is feasible?"

"Good! That’s your true worth!"

Zhao Yi nodded in satisfaction: "The young monk knows nothing. What is a Buddha? As long as the Cultivation World has thousands or tens of thousands of Sages, even ten Buddhas will face inevitable death!"

After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he made another offer to the Sage of Time: "Your physical body that housed the Divine Soul is destroyed, and the memory and experience of Undead Magic have been copied by Su Qianqian. Without my help, you’ll die soon."

"You should know my identity; I am the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. The Cultivation World is my backyard."

"Isn’t the Cultivation World as large as your original Magic World?"

"In the Magic World, there are twelve Archmages. Your Dark Magic System is at a disadvantage against the Light Magic System; how much Power of Faith can your Undead Magic System even absorb?"

The Sage of Time was taken aback: "How do you know the internal details of the Magic World?"

"That’s not important!"

Zhao Yi smiled and said, "What matters is that you can gain countless more benefits with me than in the Magic World."

This time, the Sage of Time was silent for a longer period.

Only after a long time did she say, "How can I trust you?"

Without hesitation, Zhao Yi replied, "I can swear by the ancestors of the Zhao clan!"

"I seem to have no other choice."

The Sage of Time’s Divine Soul trembled slightly, and a trace of helplessness emerged from her old, decayed Divine Soul, forced to accept Zhao Yi’s unequal agreement of cooperation.

"The locust wood is just a temporary measure. My Divine Soul can’t stay here for long."

The Sage of Time quickly adjusted her mentality, beginning to negotiate for benefits.

"I need that woman’s Divine Soul; it contains my memories and is my best supplement!"

Speaking of this, a trace of resentment seeped from the Sage of Time’s Divine Soul.

"Originally, I intended for her to kill me, then use the owner’s resentment of the corpse to devour her Divine Soul..."

Zhao Yi suddenly realized: "No wonder you acted so foolishly before; you were intentionally seeking death."

Hearing this, the Sage of Time’s resentment grew: "But you intervened, ruining all my plans!"

"It’s not a big deal!"

Zhao Yi waved dismissively, saying, "I know where the young monk went, and Su Qianqian should be with her, so I’ll take you there!"

After speaking, Zhao Yi solemnly declared, "No matter who wants to kill Su Qianqian, this Crown Prince will support them to the end!"
