...

That day, Jiang Liu sat cross-legged as usual, quietly practicing the Cultivation Technique of the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture.

Having no other choice since Sun Wukong was not by his side and the Map of Mountains and Rivers copy was unavailable, he could only rely on practicing the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture and occasionally open the Life Skills panel to train his Life Profession Skills to earn Experience Points like this.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

However, just as Jiang Liu sat cross-legged, immersed in his practice, suddenly, someone knocked on his door.

From the knocking sound alone, one could feel the urgency in the visitor's mood.

Hearing this sound, Jiang Liu's eyebrows slightly raised.

Normally, no one would disturb him while he was practicing.

It seemed, a major event must have occurred.

His thoughts stirred, and Jiang Liu walked over and opened the door.

Indeed, the King of Women's Kingdom stood at the door with an urgent expression, her face also slightly panicked, "Imperial Brother, something terrible has happened, something terrible..."

"Wait, what exactly happened? Don't panic, speak slowly, calm down!" Seeing the King of Women's Kingdom's appearance, Jiang Liu spoke to comfort her.

Perhaps due to Jiang Liu's comforting words, the King of Women's Kingdom seemed a bit calmer.

Taking a deep breath to suppress the urgency in her heart, she said, "Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu has disappeared!"

"What!? Xiaoyu disappeared!?" Hearing this, Jiang Liu's face drastically changed.

Instantly, he rushed out of the room like a whirlwind, wanting to search, but in a moment like this, he had no idea where to start or where to search.

Jiang Liu was frantically anxious.

"Uh..." The King of Women's Kingdom, seeing Jiang Liu frantic, paused for a moment before stepping forward and comforting him in return, "Imperial Brother, don't panic, try to calm down..."

"How can I stay calm when my daughter has gone missing!?" Turning to glance at the King of Women's Kingdom, Jiang Liu replied irritably.

Seeing Jiang Liu like this, although the King of Women's Kingdom was also anxious, she felt a bit of an ironic amusement.

He had just asked her to not hurry, to keep calm, and yet, when he was informed of the news, he seemed even more anxious than she was.

"Right, what exactly happened? Tell me everything clearly. Wasn't she supposed to have female attendants with her?" Jiang Liu turned back and seriously asked the King of Women's Kingdom.

Lingyu, although enlightened by Ancestor Minghe and having reached the Controlling-Law Realm in cultivation, was still only a child a few months old, after all?

With a very innocent nature, naturally, she was worrisome.

"Yes, there were indeed attendants with her at the time, but according to them, they suddenly felt dizzy and spaced out, almost as if they lost consciousness. By the time they came to, they found themselves standing in the same spot, having been out of it for the time it takes an incense stick to burn, and Xiaoyu was gone!" The King of Women's Kingdom briefly and clearly recounted the situation to Jiang Liu.

"It seems a cultivator has intervened!" After hearing this, Jiang Liu's expression grew even darker.

If it were merely common criminals, being on the Controlling-Law Realm of cultivation might have allowed her to protect herself to a certain extent, right?

But if it were cultivators, or even Immortals and Demons at play, the situation was far more troublesome!

With urgency in his heart, Jiang Liu's thoughts stirred, and he immediately took action.

"Where are you going?" Seeing Jiang Liu's determined manner, the King of Women's Kingdom asked.

"To find someone to ask!" Jiang Liu replied, his expression resolute.

"Find someone? Who are you going to ask?" Hearing Jiang Liu's response, the King of Women's Kingdom grew even more bewildered.

Their daughter was missing, and nobody knew where she was, yet he knew whom to ask?

"Under Ksitigarbha, there is a Divine Beast named Tingdi, whose ears nothing in the Three Realms and Six Paths can escape. Asking it will surely shed some light!" Jiang Liu said resolutely.

Although he and Ksitigarbha were on the same side, it was inappropriate to approach Ksitigarbha with personal matters, especially when all the Immortals and Buddhas were unaware of these events.

But at this moment, Jiang Liu was indeed panic-stricken and could not care for anything else.

He only knew that Tingdi must know his daughter's whereabouts.

"Your Majesty, Holy Monk, the Princess has been found..."

However, just as Jiang Liu was about to set out for the Ksitigarbha Cave, suddenly, a guard came running.

"Oh? Where? Where is the Princess?" Hearing the guard's words, both Jiang Liu and the King of Women's Kingdom asked urgently.

"Here, this was brought by a little girl..." However, the female guard extended her hand and handed over a letter.

Jiang Liu snatched it quickly and unfolded it to read, frowning deeply.

The letter was addressed to him, confirming that his daughter had indeed been abducted and the abductor was asking him to meet alone at a remote hill eight hundred miles away that very night.

"Imperial Brother, the mastermind behind this is targeting you, do not go!" Seeing the words in the letter, the King of Women's Kingdom's expression slightly changed as she quickly spoke.

"Don't worry, it's fine, I have it under control!" With a somber expression, Jiang Liu pondered silently for a moment before shaking his head and replied.

Since the enemy had taken Lingyu hostage and explicitly demanded his presence for the rescue, could he not go?

Of course, Jiang Liu understood that by taking a hostage and specifically asking him to undertake the rescue, it was a trap set for him, and naturally, he had made preparations.

If he went, it would be like walking into a net.

However, perhaps his strength wasn't great, but Jiang Liu was still very confident in his ability to protect himself.

With the Random Teleportation Stone in hand, those below Quasi-Saint Level posed little threat to him.

Moreover, with skills like Silencing Zen and Sheep Transformation Technique, he could influence anyone below Quasi-Saint Level. There was nothing to fear.

Even if the mastermind behind this was of Quasi-Saint Level, what then?

The Brocade Kasaya was a Plain Colored Cloud Boundary Flag, impenetrable by anything less than the Power of Sage!

At a critical moment, he could just spend 1.5 million Silver in the shop to buy a Divine Level Unsealing Charm to remove the seal on the Brocade Kasaya.

He couldn't believe that anyone could breach the 1 billion defensive power of the Plain Colored Cloud Boundary Flag and harm him.

As for a Saint intervening?

Well, then, there would be no point in resisting, and moreover, there would have been no need to use his daughter as bait in a trap meant for him...

"Do you really think you can manage it?" Upon hearing Jiang Liu's words and seeing his confident demeanor, the King of Women's Kingdom was still very worried about him.

But could she really hold Jiang Liu back from going? What about her daughter then?

"Don't worry, I'm not one to gamble with my life. Besides, if I couldn't protect myself, how could I possibly rescue Xiaoyu?" Seeing the King of Women's Kingdom's concern yet her dilemma on whether to let him go or fear for his safety, Jiang Liu comforted her.

"Alright, alright..."

Listening to Jiang Liu's words, his rationale did make some sense. The King of Women's Kingdom thought it over, and as it seemed reasonable, her heart felt somewhat more settled. It seemed that now she could only choose to trust him, right?

The appointed time was in the evening, so Jiang Liu didn't say much more, turning around and heading back to his room to seize the last moments for serious Cultivation.

He also organized his inventory space to see what could be of use.

Watching Jiang Liu leaving, sadness filled the eyes of the King of Women's Kingdom.

Troubles arose, and she felt helpless in assisting, only able to watch; this was something the King of Women's Kingdom found hard to accept.

As a queen, she had always faced difficulties head-on, unlike other women who would avoid challenges or rely solely on men when faced with them.

This was the greatest difference between the King of Women's Kingdom and other women.

Yet, the battles between Immortals and Demons overwhelmed her, leaving her feeling powerless.

Although she wanted to act, she found herself unable to do anything...

With her daughter taken and her Imperial Brother going alone to the appointment that night, these worries weighed heavily on her heart, making it difficult for the King of Women's Kingdom to focus on state affairs.

After a long while, she sighed softly and set aside the memorandum she was holding.

What if the Imperial Brother encountered danger?

What if Xiaoyu couldn't be rescued?

Should she go and help? But then, wouldn't she just add to the chaos?

"Even with the power of an entire kingdom, can I really do nothing?"

With countless thoughts in her heart and feeling her powerlessness, the King of Women's Kingdom silently grieved.

Amitabha...

However, just as the King of Women's Kingdom was alone, submerged in her silent grief, she suddenly seemed to faintly hear a Buddhist chant.

Immediately, a brilliant Buddhist Light dazzled before her, and a figure slowly appeared before her.

"You are? Maitreya Buddha!?"

Seeing the figure that appeared before her, the King of Women's Kingdom was startled, quickly realizing who it was and immediately paid her respects. Previously, her daughter had also been sent by Maitreya Buddha.

"Amitabha, Benefactor, do you desire power?"

"If so, this seat has a scripture for Cultivation and a Treasure Pill..."

Maitreya Buddha's gaze fell on the King of Women's Kingdom as he spoke.

As he spoke, he held out his hands, one holding a scripture, and the other holding a box containing a Treasure Pill.

The King of Women's Kingdom reached out and took the scripture and the box containing the Treasure Pill.

"Well said, well said..."

Without saying much more, after handing over the Cultivation scripture and the Treasure Pill to the King of Women's Kingdom, Maitreya Buddha slightly nodded his head, always with a cheerful expression, and his body transformed into a burst of golden Buddhist Light, quickly fading away.

Half asleep and half awake, the King of Women's Kingdom suddenly woke up.

She shook her head, wondering if she had been dreaming. Had she just dozed off?

However, when she looked down, she found a Cultivation scripture and a beautifully crafted jade box laid out before her on the desk.
