Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 734 Report from the front line
This movement immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Nilubaier was the first to arrive. She pushed away the two dazed formation masters and went to pull Li Xuan out.

But there was no way to pull Nirubel out.

Originally, the hole was just big enough for Li Xuan to crawl through. As it was being repaired, it was getting tighter and tighter around Li Xuan's neck.

"Lord A Xuan, shrink your bones!"

Nirubel quickly reminded.

Although she didn't know whether Li Xuan had practiced similar skills, it was not difficult to achieve similar effects at their level.

Li Xuan was also reminded and remembered the fish-swimming pose he had practiced before.

This martial art was originally created specifically for women, and is a ninth-grade martial art that focuses on building the foundation, so it can improve the body's flexibility.

Li Xuan immediately transformed into a catfish, stretching his entire skeleton and swinging his body wildly, just like a fish that had just been caught ashore.

It’s true, this method is very effective.

Li Xuan, whose neck was originally stuck, struggled wildly and actually pushed his upper body out.

Nirubel was also exerting force outside, pulling Li Xuan's head out.

But Li Xuan's body had stretched out one meter, but his two back legs were still missing.

After Li Xuan stretched his body, his length increased dramatically. If he stood among those little kids in the palace now, he would definitely stand out from the crowd.

He was now like a stretched rice cake, and as Nirubel pulled him out, his body also stretched.

After being pulled out for a distance of about 1.8 meters, Li Xuan's body was finally pulled out from the small hole in the ancient formation.

But unfortunately, Li Xuan was hit hard on the tail in the end, and the pain made him burst into tears.

"Master Xuan, don't cry, don't cry~"

Nilubai coaxed Li Xuan.

Li Xuan didn't care and kept snuggling into Nirubail's arms.

Her broad mind was the only one the kitten could rely on.

"Woooooo~"

The more Nilubai coaxed him, the harder Li Xuan cried.

"As expected of the Holy Fire Saint, you are truly extraordinary!"

Li Xuan sighed silently in his heart.

By this time, everyone had arrived.

They only saw Li Xuan crawling into Nirubail's arms and crying.

However, Ren Chunsheng and Zhao Fangyuan witnessed with their own eyes the ancient formation repairing itself.

"How can this be?"

The two were quite accomplished in the art of formation, but they had only heard of this kind of formation that could repair itself in legends.

Ren Chunsheng and Zhao Fangyuan lay on the ground without caring about their image, wishing they could stick their eyes on the newly restored ancient formation.

"It's a self-contained formation!"

"Moreover, it is a self-contained formation that combines the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements!"

"This formation was actually set up by humans. It's simply incredible, incredible!"

Ren Chunsheng shouted excitedly.

He had originally specialized in the field of self-contained formations. Now that he saw such a mysterious self-contained formation, he only regretted that he could not comprehend the mystery behind it.

Zhao Fangyuan also stared blankly at the ancient formation, reaching out to touch it from time to time.

It was as if the previous hole had never existed, and the array patterns on it were tightly fitted without any flaws.

“Can it repair itself to such an extent?”

The inheritance of formation masters has been severely interrupted in the past thousand years.

Therefore, even though the two of them are the best formation masters of the current era, they can only sigh in admiration when looking at the ancient formations set up by their predecessors.

Li Xuan had already found a comfortable position in Nirubail's arms.

He looked at the two formation masters who had been in a daze from beginning to end and had not shown any concern for him at all, with a slightly unfriendly look in his eyes.

"You two guys, without me you would still have to study this hole."

"You don't even thank me, how rude!"

Li Xuan complained in his heart and was too lazy to argue with these two people.

At this time, Shang Zongguan stepped forward and asked Li Xuan:
"Axuan, are you okay?"

"How's the situation down there?"

Facing the question from Manager Shang, Li Xuan immediately put his paws in his pockets and became serious.

"I'm fine. The dragon vein below should have been repaired."

"But it's better to observe for a while to make sure everything is safe."

Although Li Xuan said this, he was quite confident in his heart.

Dragon Ball is the core of power, and now that the altar has restored its function, there should be no problem.

Otherwise, the ancient formation would not be able to repair itself.

No wonder the power left behind by Yingtian Dragon Emperor could last for a thousand years. The methods he left behind were truly amazing.

It's just that now it seems that these skills have been lost.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be so passive that Li Xuan would have to go down alone to repair it.

Fortunately, he has the Yin-Yang Qi, otherwise the power inside the dragon ball would be difficult to repair.

It seems that there has been a conclusion already.

Li Xuan just followed the instructions step by step to achieve his goal.

He knew that this was all thanks to heaven.

Li Xuan had never expected that the way of heaven in this world was actually conscious.

“The sound at that time…”

"It can't be wrong."

Li Xuan kept this matter in mind.

He couldn't tell Princess Ankang and Yu'er about this matter.

God knows whether the heaven would mind this kind of thing.

Li Xuan felt terrified at the thought of being targeted by the Heavenly Dao.

"Never mind, let's get through this difficult time first."

After hearing what Li Xuan said, Manager Shang nodded.

They had been waiting outside for Li Xuan for more than half a month.

Only then did Li Xuan realize that he had been down there for so long.

Now that Li Xuan has successfully repaired the dragon vein, there is no need for them to continue waiting here.

Ren Chunsheng and Zhao Fangyuan are still willing to stay here, and they will be angry with anyone who wants to let them go.

Zhao Fangyuan, in particular, tried his best to take on the task of observing the subsequent situation of the dragon vein.

He also didn't expect that Li Xuan was so powerful that he even repaired the ancient formation.

But this made life difficult for Zhao Fangyuan.

He had been relying on this job to survive, but now his plans were ruined by Li Xuan.

But he also knew that he couldn't afford to offend Li Xuan, so he had to step back and ask for the next best thing, which was to find a job observing dragon veins.

He could do this job for the rest of his life.

Not to mention being able to survive, there are also ancient formations to study.

Ren Chunsheng was the right person. Although he couldn't be a lifelong companion, he could still have a chance to communicate with her occasionally, and Zhao Fangyuan wouldn't feel like he was just sitting in jail.

But these matters still depend on the will of Emperor Yongyuan.

If Emperor Yongyuan minded, Zhao Fangyuan would probably not even have the chance to go to jail.

Seeing that there were really no problems with the dragon veins and the ancient formation, Manager Shang immediately called everyone back to the camp, leaving only Ren Chunsheng and Zhao Fangyuan here to watch.

After they returned to the camp, Chief Steward Shang ordered the eunuchs in flowery clothes to deliver necessary supplies to the Meteorite Dragon Crater and to set up a temporary camp there, and have them act as liaisons.

That night, Monk Chief Li Xuan returned to the city first.

Li Xuan felt it necessary to report the situation in the Meteoric Dragon Pit to Emperor Yongyuan. Moreover, after such a long time without any news from him, I am afraid that the two girls will also be worried.

It is still necessary to go back and report that you are safe.

On the way back, Li Xuan and the monk steward were taking a leisurely stroll. It seemed leisurely but their speed was not slow. However, in comparison, they could not help but enjoy the scenery along the way.

Both the man and the cat were in a good mood.

Li Xuan rescued the evil dragon, solved the problem of the dragon vein, and the ancient formation also repaired itself.

All the problems at Meteor Crater seemed to have been resolved satisfactorily.

As for Manager Shang, he was in high spirits as he was celebrating the good news.

He successfully broke through to the second level, something he himself did not expect.

Thinking about it now, it really seems like a dream.

But Manager Shang felt his own real power, and it was so real.

All this is thanks to Li Xuan.

Thinking of this, Manager Shang couldn't help but look at Li Xuan on his shoulder and said to him:

"Ah Xuan, this time it's all thanks to you."

"Hey, I'm the one chosen by God, so this is what I should do." Li Xuan replied with a smile.

"It's not just about the Meteorite Crater. My successful breakthrough this time was also due to your good fortune."

Manager Shang smiled and said without hesitation.

"No big deal, you're welcome."

Li Xuan replied casually, grinning.

He also knew that many people wanted to take advantage of him.

Li Xuan was not unaware of those burning gazes.

But he didn't really care.

As long as it is mutually beneficial and a win-win cooperation, Li Xuan has no reason to refuse.

It should even be said that Li Xuan hopes to have as many friends like this as possible, and it doesn't matter if they are jealous of his good fortune.

As long as you understand the situation clearly, it will be fine.

Otherwise, some idiots can't even tell the pros and cons and think that Li Xuan owes him.

He had nothing good to say about this kind of person.

It is naturally best to stay far away and have no social interaction.

If you insist on standing against him, his little kitty claws won't be any disadvantage.

Along the way, Li Xuan and the chief monk talked about their experiences since the southern tour.

Although Li Xuan was a man of destiny who was blessed by heaven, this southern tour was not entirely smooth sailing and he also experienced many difficulties and obstacles.

After returning to the provincial capital, Monk Chief Li Xuan first went to see Emperor Yongyuan.

Emperor Yongyuan had not yet rested and summoned them directly.

As his health gradually recovered, Emperor Yongyuan resumed his previous daily routine of working overtime intensively every day of the year, 365 days a year.

Although King Zheng had died, the chaos in Daxing did not end. Instead, it was pushed to a new forefront.

Li Xuan reported everything he saw and heard in the underground palace.

Emperor Yongyuan, Wang Xi, the two general managers and Tang Nu all listened carefully to Li Xuan's description.

When they heard that the underground maze contained relics from the time of the Twin Saint Emperors, such as dragon balls, altars and murals, they all showed expressions of great interest.

Of course, when Emperor Yongyuan heard that Li Xuan was almost trapped down there and couldn't get out, he couldn't help but sweat.

"Don't be so reckless next time."

"If you are imprisoned in the ancient formation, how can I explain to Ankang?"

Emperor Yongyuan's instructions to Li Xuan showed obvious concern.

Even if the great enemy King Zheng was eliminated, Li Xuan was still indispensable.

Not to mention the various great achievements he had made before, just based on Li Xuan's identity as the one destined by heaven, everyone present had already recognized his status as a sign of good fortune sent from heaven.

Emperor Yongyuan had long regarded Li Xuan as the guardian of the country.

If it weren't for the sake of his ancestors, Emperor Yongyuan would have made a cat robe for him. Even if he didn't wear it on a daily basis, it could be used as a commemoration.

Unfortunately, Emperor Yongyuan probably couldn't change the rule that the emperor had to wear dragon robes.

Upon hearing that the matter had come to an end, the evil dragon was sleeping in Li Xuan's Dihong bone ring, and that Li Xuan had accidentally fused another foot ring on the altar in the underground maze, Emperor Yongyuan looked relieved.

"Ah Xuan, it looks like we have passed the most difficult stage of this crisis."

As Emperor Yongyuan spoke, he leaned back and changed into a comfortable sitting position.

This should be the most relaxed time he has felt since becoming the emperor.

But Emperor Yongyuan only felt at ease for a few breaths.

He sat up straight again and said to everyone present:

"King Zheng has been eliminated, and the evil dragon is gone."

"Right now, the rebels in various places have become our biggest concern."

"These rebels must be quickly suppressed with lightning speed."

"We have already wasted too much time before, and now we have to race against time."

Emperor Yongyuan said this and picked up a letter from the table.

"This is a letter sent from the front line. The date on it is twenty days ago, but I just received it this morning."

Li Xuan frowned when he heard this.

It took so long for the letters from the front line to be delivered. If it had happened on a normal day, it would have been a capital crime.

Delaying military affairs is a serious crime, and all the post stations along the way will be implicated.

But Daxing was in such chaos at the moment that it was actually quite difficult for the letter to reach Emperor Yongyuan.

"The letter was delivered by Qin Ziyi himself. He had a life-or-death experience on the road and was seriously injured. He is now recuperating in the post house."

Emperor Yongyuan said, explaining for Li Xuan: "Ah Xuan, Qin Ziyi is the eldest grandson of Duke Hu, the cousin of Lao Ba, and is also a leader among the younger generation in the army."

After the explanation, Emperor Yongyuan went on to talk about the content of the letter.

"The letter said that Duke Hu has already launched a surprise attack on the Desert Wolf Court. The pressure on the front line has been reduced as a result, but I don't know if this isolated army deep behind enemy lines can return safely."

Emperor Yongyuan sighed.

To be honest, he was aware of the plans of Duke Hu and the nobles.

But Emperor Yongyuan did not have many choices at the time, and the nobles were the only power he could rely on in the court.

But in terms of time, it's really too tight.

Rebellions broke out everywhere in Daxing, and it was always necessary to suppress them first to maintain internal stability of the dynasty.

Duke Hu's plan was also to survive from death.

Otherwise, if time goes on, their advance army will inevitably bankrupt the national treasury.

By then, I'm afraid I'll have to go back in disgrace after just guarding the front line for a while.

If this is true, the nobles will have even less say in the court.

I'm afraid no one in the entire court had expected that Emperor Yongyuan and Prince Zheng would fall out so quickly, and that Emperor Yongyuan would be the final winner.

This letter from Duke Hu came at an inopportune time.

When Emperor Yongyuan told everyone the contents of the letter, the whole room fell silent.

Because everyone knows that Daxing now has no spare energy to support Duke Hu's isolated army.

And there won't be enough energy for a long time to come.

Now, all they could do was pray that Duke Hu could at least withdraw safely and save as many soldiers as possible.

But everyone knows how slim the chances of this happening are.

Li Xuan couldn't help but think of the Eighth Prince, feeling a little reluctant, and suggested to Emperor Yongyuan:

"We have to suppress the rebels anyway, why not suppress them all the way to the front line bordering the desert?"

"It just so happens that the foreign aid I found is free anyway."

Li Xuan tried his best to make his tone more casual, as if since the other party had come, he had to show them around.
