Chapter 738: Domain Prototype!
.....
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy really wanted to curse her true self so badly right now.
How the heck could her real self tell her to stall for some time against these several powerful Nascent Soul Stage elders?!
Did her real self really think she has enough strength to do that?!
Unfortunately, it was not the time for her to complain about it since she knew that her real self had already entered the Gu Family's treasure warehouse and began to look for the precious treasures containing star energies, so she had to find a way to stall for as long as possible!
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy planned to have some conversations with those several Nascent Soul Stage elders, but those old monsters clearly did not want to talk to her at all.
When several Nascent Soul Stage elders broke into Zhu Yan's room, they immediately took out their [Mirror of Revelation] from their spatial treasures.
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy did not want the light of their [Mirror of Revelation] to accidentally hit Zhu Yan and forcefully transform Zhu Yan back into Sea Beast Princess, so she immediately rushed out of Zhu Yan's room.
Even though it would definitely ruin the relationship between Zhu Yan and Gu Shengxin, making it impossible for them to get married if Zhu Yan's identity as Sea Beast Princess was blown off here, but it would also put Zhu Yan's life in danger!
Several Nascent Soul Stage elders tried to stop Tang Li Xue's perfect copy from escaping, but Tang Li Xue's perfect copy immediately canceled her human transfiguration and transformed back to her true fox form.
In that instant, the overall stats and strength of Tang Li Xue's perfect copy were restored to 100%!
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was clearly not foolish enough to face those several Nascent Soul Stage elders in her human transfiguration form since she would only have a third of her overall stats and strength in her human form!
[Wind Burst Step]~!
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was shuttling extremely swiftly using her [Wind Burst Step] repeatedly as she kept setting the destination point further and further away from Zhu Yan's courtyard!
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy felt as if she was riding a rocket right now as the scenery around her turned blurry.
Even those Nascent Soul Stage elders have a hard time chasing after her when she uses [Wind Burst Step] repeatedly like this.
But Tang Li Xue's perfect copy did not have any ability to dodge when she was using [Wind Burst Step], so she literally just bulldozed everything in front of her!
BOOM~! BOOM~! BOOM~! BOOM~! BOOM~!
Tang Li Xue's perfect copy crushed everything blocking her way when she bumped into them whether they were buildings, trees, bridges, decorative boulders, or small hills!
"Ouch~! Ouch~! Ouch~! It hurts, damn it~!" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy hissed in pain.
Fortunately, [Sun And Moon Aegis]'s effect to nullify any damage under 1000 points worked wonders at this moment, so Tang Li Xue's perfect copy was completely uninjured by the collision.
However, her current violent method clearly would not last long as she accidentally stepped into a killing formation!
Her surrounding scene suddenly changed as she appeared in the middle of a sea of crimson flame!
This time, she would not be able to get out of this killing formation as easily as before since Little Loki was not with her right now!
But Tang Li Xue's perfect copy did not panic while she hastily activated the new power she mastered just recently!
Domain prototype, [Sun and Moon Domain], Moon Form~!
A silvery light shone from behind her as a faint image of the moon emerged!
Crack~! Crack~! Crack~!
In that instant, the surrounding sea of crimson flame was frozen and transformed into a sea of ice!
"Tsk, tsk tsk... Reversing the Profound Law of heat into cold... The power of this [Moon Form] of [Sun and Moon Domain] is not bad at all~! Even I started to fear my own talent for being able to create it." Tang Li Xue's perfect copy muttered in amazement.
The flame-elemental killing formation crumbled apart as Tang Li Xue's perfect copy froze the entire formation in a few breaths of time.
But the several Nascent Soul Stage elders had already completely surrounded Tang Li Xue's perfect copy at this time, and there was no more gap for her to run away like before.
When those several Nascent Soul Stage elders tried to take something out from their spatial ring, Tang Li Xue's perfect copy tried to strike up a conversation with them: "Err, you guys... Cough, hello everyone! Can I have a few minutes to talk first? I think we have a huge misunderstanding here... I have a very close relationship with your young patriarch~! We even..."
Unfortunately, these several old Nascent Soul Stage elders already have a lot of experience fighting against so many enemies, so they clearly would not talk nicely to Tang Li Xue's perfect copy and give her enough time to think of any plan.
Those several Nascent Soul Stage elders took out restraining treasures from their spatial ring such as binding rope, small pagoda, golden cage, and so on.
They surely had already received the instruction from Rongrong to not kill Tang Li Xue and only caught her instead.
It seemed that Rongrong still stuck to her previous plan to threaten Elder Yang to be with her by using Tang Li Xue's life.
Even Tang Li Xue's perfect copy could easily guess that much since there was no other reason for these Nascent Soul Stage elders to only catch a fox beast like her alive, especially after the tragic battle against the Beast Tide, and they hated all beasts so much at this point.
But Tang Li Xue's perfect copy secretly sighed in relief when she saw it...
As long as they did not plan to go all out to kill her, it meant she would still have some chance to stall more time for her true self to loot the Gu Family's treasure warehouse.
Those several Nascent Soul Stage elders urged their spirit treasures to suppress and capture Tang Li Xue's perfect copy, but she definitely would not let them do it that easily!
"All right then, let's see how strong Nascent Soul Stage experts truly are~!" Tang Li Xue's perfect copy muttered in a provocative tone as she used her [Moonlight Flickering Flash Step] to avoid getting captured by their spirit treasures!
.....
Meanwhile, the real Tang Li Xue had reached the deepest part of the Gu Family's treasure warehouse.
There were many more advanced and complicated formations installed here.
Even Little Loki had some difficulty breaking them since it would trigger the alarm if it was not careful enough or even the precious treasures inside would be accidentally destroyed.
The real Tang Li Xue was starting to run out of patience, but there was nothing she could do to help Little Loki break those formations.
All she could do was pray for her perfect copy to hold on longer against those several Nascent Soul Stage elders and buy them enough time to at least get the precious treasures containing star energies.
"Nyaaaaoowww~!" (it's finally done~!)
After a few minutes or so, Little Loki excitedly informed Tang Li Xue.
"Really~?! Great job, Little Loki!" Tang Li Xue also excitedly said to Little Loki. She laughed happily while embracing Little Loki and caressing its furry tiny head gently.
Tang Li Xue brought Little Loki in her embrace with her and jumped through the hole in the formations into the small hidden room.
There were only a few black boxes neatly arranged in this small hidden room, but there was no doubt that the treasures stored here might be the most precious ones in the Gu Family's collection.
These black boxes were made from mysterious materials. Their hardness might surpass many spirit treasures, and even several mysterious formations were carved on their surface to act as the lock.
Tang Li Xue tried to touch one of the black boxes, but her hands were electrocuted by the mysterious formations instead.
She immediately withdrew her hands and decided to just throw all the black boxes into her space pouch without checking or opening them.
Anyway, Little Loki had already told her that the precious treasures containing star energies were stored inside some of these black boxes.
So, Tang Li Xue thought she just needed to take all of the black boxes with her and open them later after she brought them out from the Gu Family's mansion.
Tang Li Xue checked her perfect copy's situation with their [Shared Senses] and realized that they might still have a little more time so she immediately instructed Little Loki: "Let's go, Little Loki~!"
([Shared Senses]: Any information the perfect copy received from all of her senses will directly be transferred into the user's mind.)
"You can sense which room has more precious treasures, right? We will loot it from the most precious storage room to the least precious storage room, okay?!" Tang Li Xue tried to tell Little Loki.
"Myaaaooww~! Nyaw Meowww..." ( I understand~! Leave it to me...)
Little Loki jumped down from Tang Li Xue's warm and soft embrace, then began to lead her to the next hidden storage room.
It could be said that the Gu Family who designed this treasure warehouse was really smart.
They stored their more precious treasures in the more hidden places.
If Tang Li Xue did not have Little Loki to lead her to find these hidden places, she certainly could only loot the least precious treasures stored in the biggest eye-catching rooms.
