If we wish to perform another "Summoning Immortals" ritual, we need to wait for the cooling period to pass.
However, that would take too long.
"That's the only way, then."
Laojun nodded in agreement, his lips twitching with a hint of amusement.
Not for any other reason but the look of helplessness written all over Jiang Yuan's face.
"Fine, let's just wait then."
"How's it going?"
Jiang Yuan asked, turning his head to look at Shi Ji beside him.
Through the rapidly depleting Star Power in his body, Jiang Yuan knew that Shi Ji must have implanted the poison of "Ghostly Light" in everyone's body.
Plan B indeed required the use of "Ghostly Light" poison to work.
After all, those Earth Element Spirits solidifying the ground were still quite near to him.
Eliminating about half of the Earth Element Spirits would be sufficient to break free from this solidified ground.
Then, using the "Earth Walking Skill," escaping from here would be a breeze.
Once out of this area, the sky is the limit.
"We probably need to wait until evening."
Shi Ji frowned slightly, making his judgment.
"That's a bit too late."
Laojun shook his head slightly, glancing at the Elemental Spirits launching an attack on the Linglong Tower outside.
After a round of attacks, the Elemental Spirits had come to realize the strength of the Linglong Tower.
Mainly because every attack they launched failed to make a ripple.
As if…
"Immune."
Leonres's brow furrowed slightly as he observed the Linglong Tower in front of him.
If there were no ripples at all, the only explanation could be immunity.
In a previous fight with a member of the Angel Clan, none of his skills had any effect.
That was due to his opponent's Skill Card, "Angel Guardian."
A skill that could ignore any damage for a certain amount of time.
It seemed that the golden tower present here might have a similar capability.
But what could be the weakness?
Surely it couldn't last indefinitely?
After all, even the mighty "Angel Guardian" from the renowned Angel Clan only lasted for three seconds.
Yet this golden tower stood firm against various attacks, and there was still no sign of change on its surface.
Initially, Leonres thought it was immune to area attacks, then to single-target attacks, but after several tries, it seemed immune to all attacks?
Was that even reasonable?
And the duration was so long.
"What do we do?"
"Exactly, we can't break through the opponent's defense."
"Are we just supposed to stand guard until they run out of ammunition and provisions?"
"How could that be? Who knows how much food he has in his backpack card?"
"Otherwise, what else can we do? We can't break through the opponent's defense."
"Darn it, why is it as tough as a turtle shell?"
"Even a turtle shell doesn't compare; this golden tower can take it."
"Stop arguing!"
The members of the Elemental Spirit Clan were all talking at once, surrounding the Linglong Tower, watching Jiang Yuan and others inside.
Leonres, his brow furrowed at the noise around him, uttered a low command to silence the rabble.
"Who among you has a skill card that can ignore defense equipment and directly cause damage?" Leonres asked.
However, the hundreds of Elemental Spirits present looked at each other before shaking their heads one after another.
"Such a skill card is too expensive, and it's almost always a One-time Skill Card. Using that kind of card just doesn't make economic sense."
"Exactly, how could we possibly afford such an expensive One-time Skill Card?"
"We don't have such cards; they aren't a common tool for us."
The Elemental Spirits shook their heads one after another, their faces showing bitterness.
Leonres was frustrated but also understood; she came from a distinguished family, but even she didn't have such a card.
Expensive cards that require specific conditions to be used are ultimately too cost-ineffective.
As long as the attack is strong enough, just shatter the opponent's defense.
What's the need for that Defense Ignoring Skill Card?
"So, which one of you has that kind of Skill Card that can ignore Defense Equipment?"
Leonres asked again, but the moment he spoke, he already knew the answer.
Cards that could ignore Defense Equipment were already rare, and now these that could ignore Defense Skills were obviously even rarer.
And with more stringent conditions for use, they were clearly more expensive, and fewer in number.
Sure enough, the Elemental Spirit Clan glanced at each other before shaking their heads again.
"Send two from the Thunder Element Spirit Clan to the marketplace merchants to inquire. If they have stock, buy two."
Leonres said, and after hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and added, "If they have the Water Element Skill Card Water Solvent, get one as well, it'll be reimbursed!"
The Water Element Skill Card [Water Solvent] can nullify all Defense Equipment and Defense Skills for a certain period.
The effect was evident, but the downside was the price.
Very expensive!
This Skill Card could not be made. Or rather, all of the cards mentioned by Leonres could not be made.
They were obtained from the Time-Space Gate Temple that opened in their Elemental Spirit Clan world.
This was where merchants came in; as long as you wanted it, even if they didn't have it, they would do their utmost to find it for you.
The two from the Thunder Element Spirit Clan left, but Leonres, unwilling to give up, had someone attack the golden tower once more.
He just didn't believe there was a limit to everything.
However, even though he said so, seeing Jiang Yuan and Nezha inside the golden tower completely ignoring them, he had already made a judgment in his heart.
"In that case, Plan B is also unfeasible, huh?"
Jiang Yuan looked at Laozi, and Laozi nodded in response.
"Yes, the opponent is not slow, and besides. This is ultimately their territory. Places we can't see may also have their people. If we're hampered and slowed down, then escaping like this won't be easy later on."
Laozi spoke the truth, and they could not afford to delay.
After all, they needed to kill that traitor, and Jiang Yuan was afraid that if they took too long, it would be troublesome once the traitor returned to the Human Clan world.
"I have another idea, but I'm not sure if it'll work."
After Laozi finished speaking, Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment before continuing.
"You say."
"Use the Fake Shape and Clone cards. Leave the Clone in the Linglong Tower to stall them further while I disguise myself as one from the Earth Element Spirit Clan. After leaving a certain distance, use the Earth Walking Skill to leave."
"You mean? We'll all stay here?"
Laozi looked at Jiang Yuan with a calm expression, making his emotions hard to read.
"Yes, I'll leave first. Then you wait for Shi Ji's Ghostly Light to take effect!"
Jiang Yuan did not see Laozi's expression but continued to speak his idea that had just come to mind.
"In this way, not only can we successfully escape, but we can also inflict significant damage on them."
"Once Shi Ji's Ghostly Light erupts, I can directly transform you all into cards and take you back to the realm of consciousness. After all, the Clone is there, and even without the Clone, this distance is enough for me to reach a safe distance."
As Jiang Yuan's voice fell, Laozi's expression softened.
"Then how will you judge when to take us back?" Laozi asked with interest.
He truly didn't expect Jiang Yuan to have this kind of vengeful character.
Well, he liked it!
"The eruption of Ghostly Light requires a lot of Star Power."
Facing Laozi's question, Jiang Yuan didn't manage to speak before Shi Ji already explained.
"That should work."
Laozi nodded, his eyes showing some excitement.
"How confident are you?"
"Quite confident. I don't think anyone will recognize my disguise," Jiang Yuan hesitated briefly before speaking.
Knowing that he could impersonate the Elemental Spirit Clan's Kayadinger, who had already died.
Those from the Thunder Element Spirit Clan also perished at the hands of Nezha and Zhao Gongming.
Others probably didn't know he had this ability.
Moreover.
"Even if I'm exposed, there is still the Unihorn Smoke Beast."
Jiang Yuan smiled: "With the Linglong Pagoda in my hand, after withstanding some skills, the speed of the Unihorn Smoke Beast is quite fast."
"If worse comes to worst, I still have the Golden Crow Rainbow Transformation Technique."
