Chapter 325: Leaving the Formation, a Chance Encounter at Ling Manor

Qin Xiao had not appeared for three days since returning to the tenth floor. He had drawn several sketches, full of unusual ideas. They might not work, but figuring that out would be Master Ji Ci’s headache.

Xiao Yuande waited for three consecutive days. During this time, he occasionally struck the great formation, but it was all futile. No matter what he did, Qin Xiao and the people of Seven Stars Tower ignored him entirely.

“Your Highness, this formation must cost tens of billions to run, yet Seven Stars Tower doesn’t seem to care. We’ve blocked them for three days. They probably won’t dare come out. Why not go back? We can keep watch here.”

Yin Feizhang, his chief strategist, tried to persuade him. After three days, passersby were giving them strange looks. If they kept this up, the prince’s prestige might really be ruined.

He was the dignified Qingzhou Prince, yet he was blockading someone’s doorstep for three days. What kind of behavior was this? Such trivial matters should be left to subordinates like them.

“You have a point. Qin Xiao seems determined to keep his head in his shell. He won’t come out for now. You’re at mid Great Ascension; you’re enough to guard this place. Watch closely. If the formation changes or Qin Xiao emerges, send word at once.”

Xiao Yuande also knew that if they continued this stalemate, Seven Stars Tower would lose Spirit Stones, but he would lose face. Leaving his subordinates to keep watch was enough. Qin Xiao would likely not dare to step outside.

Once Seven Stars Tower’s Spirit Stones were drained, it would not be too late for him to strike.

For three days, Seven Stars Tower had ignored every provocation. Worse, he could do nothing about that turtle shell. It was infuriating.

Xiao Yuande left. Whatever Qin Xiao was doing, he needed preparations of his own. He would talk to Ling Hongwen. Qin Xiao was a turtle trapped in a jar now, of no further value. It was time for the Immortal Dao Merchant Association to change sides.

If he reached Tribulation Transcendence, Bai Junxiong would lose his influence. Surely the wise course was for the Immortal Dao Merchant Association to side with him now.
