Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 1074: Chapter 1074: Escape From Capital City!

After breaking the crimson barrier, all the crimson corrosive monsters scattered throughout the Imperial Palace turned into red mist and disappeared.

The Heavenly Golden Dragon unleashed all the Towering Crimson Trees that had been sealed by borrowing its power before, and all of those Towering Crimson Trees withered rapidly in only a few seconds.

Xu Yang, Tang Li Xue, Taoist Uncle, and all the old ancestors hurriedly rescued all the people who had been trapped inside the vine cocoons by the Towering Crimson Trees.

Unfortunately, they were still a little bit too late.

More than half of those people had already been sucked dry by the Towering Crimson Trees and turned into dried corpses.

As for the rest of the people, even though they were successfully rescued by Xu Yang and the others, but their essence had been sucked by Towering Crimson Trees.

Their bodies became weak, their cultivation level regressed, and even their lifespan was greatly reduced because of it.

It should take a lot of resources to treat them back to their previous normal condition.

Rather than spending so many resources to treat them, it would be much more cost-efficient to train new people to replace them.

Tang Li Xue could probably cure those people if she gave them enough Spiritual Healing Water, but their number was just too large.

Even though less than half of them survived, the number still reached thousands of people.

Tang Li Xue had just spent a lot of her Spiritual Healing Water to bathe the Corrupted Heavenly Golden Dragon just now, so even if she drained the rest of the Spiritual Healing Water in the [Nine Elementals Immortal Pagoda]’s Water Floor, it might be only enough to cure a few hundred people.

Tang Li Xue shook her head and immediately rejected that idea.

If she dared to completely drain all the Spiritual Healing Water in the Water Floor, then a certain mysophobic Water Guardian would definitely fight her to death later.

Although Tang Li Xue felt guilty toward these people, but she would not go that far to cure them.

’Err, what if I use [Jade Talisman of Advanced Regeneration] to cure them?’ Tang Li Xue thought while pinching her smooth chin.

But she immediately rejected that idea too...

The price of the jade talisman was quite expensive.

Not to mention that not only did she need to buy thousands of blank jade talismans, she also needed to engrave [Advanced Regeneration Runes] one by one on thousands of jade talismans.

Just thinking about it was enough to make Tang Li Xue’s arm feel weak.

Just when Tang Li Xue pondered if she could find another way to cure those people...

”Not good!” One of the old ancestors yelled in panic.

”What is wrong?!” The Grandmaster with long white eyebrows asked in a solemn tone.

”The Heavenly Prison had been destroyed!” That old ancestor replied anxiously.

”What?!” The other old ancestors exclaimed in shock and disbelief.

There were not only criminals jailed in the Heavenly Prison, but there were also traitors, spies, generals, and leaders from anti-government factions or other dynasties.

If those people were released from the Heavenly Prison, the entire Great Wei Dynasty would be thrown into chaos and turmoil!

”Calm down, everyone!” Xu Yang took a deep breath and yelled to all the panicked old ancestors.

All the old ancestors fell silent and stared at Xu Yang as if they were waiting for him to give them further instructions.

”Let’s go to the Imperial Treasury first. Bring out Golden Sovereign Sword, Emperor’s Jade Seal, and Fortune Tripod Cauldron.” Xu Yang spoke up to them in a firm tone.

Tang Li Xue’s body instantly stiffened when she heard Xu Yang’s words.

The old ancestors widened their eyes in surprise and murmured in hesitation: ”That... Do you want to use national treasures? But...”

Xu Yang immediately interrupted them halfway by saying: ”I know that you are worried about the national luck of Great Wei, but if we let those vicious criminals go, then the consequences will be even more dire for our Great Wei Dynasty!”

The eyes of those old ancestors began to turn firm.

”He is right...”

”I agreed with his decision!”

”I also agree!”

.....

”Let’s stop wasting any more time! Let’s go now!” Xu Yang nodded his head pleasantly and led all the old ancestors and the Taoist Uncle to the Imperial Treasury.

Tang Li Xue decided not to follow them.

”Uhh, let’s go, Little Loki~! We have already done what we can. The rest is up to them.” Tang Li Xue hugged Little Loki while caressing it gently.

Tang Li Xue activated her [Ethereal Form] and [Void Barrier] to turn herself invisible and undetectable.

Little Loki also followed Tang Li Xue and turned on its own stealth skill to turn itself invisible.

Then she headed out of the Imperial Palace as fast as she could before Xu Yang and the others could realize that she had ’borrowed’ a lot of things from the Imperial Treasury.

’Wait a second... What do you mean that I had ’borrowed’ a lot of things from the Imperial Treasury? It was clearly not me, okay?! It was this greedy little cat and my perfect copy!’ Tang Li Xue tried to deny it.

”Meeooow! (I am not a cat!)” Little Loki growled unhappily.

Tang Li Xue’s slender body shuddered slightly in fright when she imagined that after Xu Yang knew about it, he ordered his people to catch her and mercilessly throw her into the Heavenly Prison.

Then, inside the dark and gloomy Heavenly Prison, she was imprisoned in the same jail as many vicious criminals, who were staring at her intensely while sneering lecherously.

’No, I have to get out of here quickly before that happens!’ Tang Li Xue thought anxiously.

Tang Li Xue not only used [Moonlight Flickering Dance Step] plus [Wind Burst Step], but she even used her [Void Shrinking Step] to get out of the Imperial Palace as soon as possible.

Right after Tang Li Xue managed to get out safely from the Imperial Palace, she immediately sensed Lucia and Yaya’s presences right outside the Imperial Palace.

She canceled her [Ethereal Form] and [Void Barrier], then hastily headed to gather with Lucia and Yaya.

”Sister Xue~!”

”KWEEEK~!”

”Yaaa~!”

Lucia and Yaya jumped towards Tang Li Xue excitedly as soon as they saw her.

Tang Li Xue hugged them reflexively, but she ended up dropping Little Loki, who was in her embrace.

”Miaaaoow~!” Little Loki glared angrily at Tang Li Xue, Yaya, and Lucia.

Xi’er also ran to approach Tang Li Xue and the others with Shao Ying and Ji Xuanming’s team.

”That is truly a touching reunion, but we have to get out of here as soon as possible, so...” Shao Ying warned them.

”Let’s go!” Tang Li Xue nodded solemnly and replied.

She also knew that it was still far from over.

Xu Yang will bring the Heavenly Golden Dragon and all the old ancestors, along with three national treasures, to fight against those anti-government factions, the people from other dynasties, and the criminals who escape from the Heavenly Prison.

The battle between them was bound to be even more devastating and dangerous than ever before.

Even Tang Li Xue did not dare to be involved in the battle on that scale.

As for Xu Yang, he should be okay because he will wield one of the three national treasures to fight later.

Tang Li Xue followed Shao Ying as she led all of them out of the Capital City.

There were still a lot of rogue cultivators who had no self-awareness and dared to attack their group on the way.

But Tang Li Xue, Shao Ying, and the others easily killed all of them in one or two moves.

Tang Li Xue was trapped in the Imperial Palace before, so she only saw the tragic situation of the Capital City right now.

Tang Li Xue frowned deeply, but she did not say anything.

Shao Ying knew that Tang Li Xue was a pacifist fox, and she should feel uncomfortable for seeing this, so she tried to reassure her: ”You do not need to feel guilty for it. This was bound to happen sooner or later.”

”Even if we did not come here or do anything, this will definitely happen after the Emperor’s lifespan ended, and he died naturally.”

”No, it should be a lot worse, because the First Prince was cruel and vindictive. He will purge a lot of people who have not supported him or opposed him right after he becomes the next emperor, and it would certainly drag a lot more people to die.”

”The anti-government factions and other dynasties will also take this chance to stir up a lot of trouble, and it would probably end up worse than now.”

”The chaos and turmoil will no longer be limited to this Capital City, but it will also spread to other places, including all the borders of the Great Wei Dynasty.”

”At least, by doing this, we found a wise ruler for the Great Wei Dynasty, right?” Shao Ying said to comfort Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue was dumbfounded for a few moments by Shao Ying’s words before she smiled beautifully.

”I was wrong. You are actually such a nice fox, Miss Shao.” Tang Li Xue praised Shao Ying honestly.

”Nice? Miss Shao? Are you blind or what?” Ji Xuanming laughed out loud as if he just heard a funny joke.

BAAANG—!

Then Ji Xuanming got rewarded with a love head smack by Shao Ying.

The fierce battle was focused on the direction of Heavenly Prison, while Shao Ying led Tang Li Xue’s team and Ji Xuanming’s team in the opposite direction.

Thanks to that, they managed to get out of the Capital City without encountering any difficulties.
