In just a quarter of an hour, the four elders summoned two thousand Wuji Palace disciples and gathered outside the city gate.
Feng Nishang personally escorted Chu Tianchen to the gate of the city. Before setting off, she solemnly warned: "Senior Brother Chu, I know that you are super powerful and have great magical powers.
But the enemy is hidden in the darkness and does not know the situation.
I hope you will be more careful. If the situation is critical, don’t force it. Your own safety comes first.”
Feng Nishang said sincerely, Chu Tianchen smiled and nodded: "I understand, I will return safely."
After that, he waved goodbye to Feng Nishang and walked towards the four elders.
The leading elder immediately shouted: "Disciples, listen to the order, board the ship, and set off!"
Following the Great Elder's order, two thousand Wuji Palace disciples quickly and orderly boarded the four warships.
The specially-made warship of Wuji Palace is thirty feet long and eighteen feet wide, and the whole is in the shape of a spindle.
There are densely packed cannon holes on the bow, stern and side of the ship, and the spiritual cannonballs can be released after activating the formation.
From the appearance, the warships of Wuji Palace are slightly different from ordinary flying boats.
After the five hundred disciples boarded the warship, wide metal plates were raised from the sides of the ship and closed on the top of the ship.
In this way, the warship is like a huge metal shuttle, with a hard and thick metal surface that can withstand powerful attacks.
In addition to this layer of defense, there is also a spiritual shield on the surface of the warship, and the defense is also very strong.
After all the two thousand disciples boarded the ship, the four elders boarded the ship last.
The Great Elder specially brought Chu Tianchen with him in order to better protect him.
Soon, four warships flew into the sky, heading in the four directions of southeast, northwest, and speeding towards the edge of the endless swamp.
The Endless Swamp is too vast, so the four elders can only work separately and patrol an area each to be efficient.
After the four warships left Wuji Palace, Feng Ningsu issued several more orders.
She not only strengthened the defense of Wuji Palace, but also mobilized 3,000 guards and 1,000 Wuji Palace disciples, ready to go at any time.
Once an elder encounters an enemy attack and is in critical condition, she will immediately send reinforcements.
In addition, she also assigned responsibilities to various departments in the Wuji Palace and issued orders to prepare for war to the vassal forces in the territory.
Because she had a hunch that since the other party had shown its fangs and attacked the Wuji Palace disciples, he would definitely not let it go.
Wuji Palace, which has been peaceful for more than ten years, will most likely usher in a fighting war again.
Not long after issuing a series of orders, Feng Ningsu finally had a moment of free time and was able to sit down and drink a cup of tea.
However, a spiritual light came through the air, flew into her study, and landed in front of her.
"call out!"
After the spiritual light dissipated, a message jade slip appeared.
Feng Ningsu suddenly frowned and had a bad premonition in her heart.
She picked up the jade slip and used her spiritual sense to read the contents of the jade slip.
Immediately, a low, hoarse, intermittent voice of a middle-aged man sounded in her mind.
"Your Majesty, Palace Master... my subordinate Hou Tao was attacked by a powerful enemy of unknown origin... with nearly a hundred people.
All five hundred of his subordinates will be killed in battle...
My subordinates cannot escape... I can only report this news to you before I die... Please, Lord Palace... avenge us..."
Hou Tao is a guard commander and a strong man at the peak of the princely realm.
The 500 guards he led were responsible for patrolling the eastern edge of the endless swamp.
When Feng Ningsu finished listening to his report, she immediately narrowed her eyes, a cold light and murderous intent flashing through her eyes.
"Damn Zhan Family! Is this going to launch a general attack?!"
She knew that by the time she received this summons, Hou Tao would probably have died in the line of duty.
The five hundred guards will all die in battle, and no one will be spared.
Anger and murderous intent surged in her heart, and she secretly vowed to kill the invading enemies and avenge the dead guards!
"Someone is coming!"
Feng Ningsu put down the message slip and shouted in a majestic tone.
Outside the study door, a guard captain immediately pushed in and saluted respectfully.
"Please give me your orders, Palace Master!"
Feng Ningsu asked in a deep voice: "Which elder led the team to the eastern region?"
The guard captain immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the Master of Palace Qi, is the Great Elder and Mr. Chu. They have brought five hundred disciples."
Feng Ningsu was startled for a moment, then quickly ordered: "Immediately send a message to inform them that Hou Tao, who is in charge of the eastern region, was attacked by a powerful enemy, and his five hundred guards were almost wiped out."
The captain of the guard said he obeyed the order, immediately left the study, and sent a message to contact the great elder.
Feng Ningsu frowned and murmured secretly: "The Great Elder and Chu Tianchen are both at the Supreme Realm. I wonder if they can kill powerful enemies and find out each other's identity?"
Although, she was worried about the safety of the Great Elder and Chu Tianchen.
But she hopes that the Great Elder and Chu Tianchen can kill powerful enemies and make great achievements.
Especially Chu Tianchen, although he has the qualifications of a peerless genius, he is unknown and rarely known in Qiushan Domain.
If he can become famous in Qiu Shan Territory in one battle, then his marriage to Feng Nishang will definitely be recognized and blessed by more people.
…
The dark silver warship, like a huge pointed shuttle, was galloping high in the sky, heading straight to the east.
There was a spacious hall inside the warship, and five hundred disciples from Wuji Palace were lined up neatly, sitting cross-legged on the ground and waiting patiently.
Chu Tianchen and the elder stood in the control room at the bow of the ship, staring at the sky and sea of clouds ahead.
The First Elder looked at Chu Tianchen with admiration and asked with interest: "Mr. Chu, just now you said that the Zhan family has accomplices and helpers, and I agree with this.
Without helpers, they would never dare to run wild in the Qiu Shan area.
In your opinion, who do you think is most likely to be an accomplice of the Zhan family?"
Chu Tianchen shook his head and said calmly: "First of all, we can rule out the Yuxiao Sect. As for the situation of other forces and the grievances and hatreds between them, I don't know.
Therefore, I can’t make random guesses.”
The great elder waved his hands quickly and said with a kind smile: "Mr. Chu, please stop being so modest!
I have noticed this a long time ago. With your wealth and wisdom, you would never say these words if you were not sure.
We are friends fighting side by side now, so just reveal it a little bit so that I can be mentally prepared."
Seeing that the elder was determined not to give up until he got the answer, Chu Tianchen had no choice but to explain: "The Zhan family has a deep feud with Wuji Palace, and the Zhan family's associates either have a deep feud with Wuji Palace, or they have interests.
Tianji Pavilion and Xuanyuan Family have this possibility, but judging from the current situation, the possibility is not high."
"Uh..." The great elder was stunned for a moment, and asked with confusion on his face: "If it's not Tianji Pavilion and Xuanyuan Family, which other force could it be?"
Chu Tianchen's tone was meaningful, "The enemy may not be from Qiu Shan Territory."
The great elder was startled for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and his expression became a little solemn.
"If Mr. Chu said this, it is very possible!"
Originally, he wanted to discuss this issue in depth with Chu Tianchen.
But at this moment, a spiritual light flew from a distance, entered the warship, and landed in front of him.
After the spiritual light dissipated, a message jade slip appeared.
"This is the jade slip specially designed for the Palace Master!" As he said that, the elder quickly took the jade slip and read the information in it.
After a moment, he frowned fiercely, his expression became solemn, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Chu Tianchen realized that the situation was not good and asked in a deep voice: "Great Elder, what's the problem?"
The great elder explained: "Previously, the palace master sent a large number of guards to patrol the surroundings of Endless Daze.
The five hundred guards responsible for the eastern region were attacked by a hundred mysterious masters of unknown origin, including the commander Hou Tao, and the entire army was almost wiped out."
Chu Tianchen also frowned and analyzed in a low tone: "The guards of Wuji Palace are all powerful in the supernatural realm, and one hundred people on the other side can actually kill five hundred guards.
It is conceivable that those 100 people must be strong men at the prince level, and even led by strong men at the emperor level.
The Zhan family can no longer hold back and are going to launch a frontal attack?"
The great elder nodded slightly and said in a solemn tone: "Although, the palace master just told us the news and did not issue any further orders.
But I know that the palace master must really hope that we can kill powerful enemies and avenge the dead guards!"
Chu Tianchen nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, we will definitely avenge this!"
The Great Elder said nothing more and silently put away the jade slip.
The warship continued to gallop high in the sky, getting closer and closer to the eastern edge of the endless swamp.
Unconsciously, eight hours passed and the warship finally reached the edge of the endless swamp.
Behind the warship is an endless swamp, and in front are rolling mountains, covered with lush primeval jungle.
The warship slowed down and patrolled around the edge of the endless swamp, carefully searching for traces and clues left by the enemy.
Seeing this scene, Chu Tianchen frowned and said to the Great Elder: "Great Elder, the eastern area is too vast, and the efficiency of this search is too low.
And we are not sure whether the Zhan family members are lurking in the endless swamps or in the mountains in the distance."
The Great Elder sighed helplessly: "I understand this, but we are short of manpower, so we can only use this method."
Chu Tianchen nodded to express his understanding and made suggestions.
"Great Elder, how about this... You take the disciples and search from here to the north, and I will search from here to the south.
When we find important clues or encounter an enemy attack, we can send a message to contact each other. What do you think?"
The Great Elder rejected the proposal without hesitation, shaking his head repeatedly and saying: "Mr. Chu, this is absolutely not possible!
Although you have superior strength, there are too many enemies and they are lurking in the dark, making it difficult to guard against them.
It is too dangerous for you to act alone, and I will never agree to it!"
Chu Tianchen's attitude was also very firm and he persuaded: "Great Elder, the situation is urgent and we cannot waste any more time.
If we divide our forces into two groups, we will have a greater chance of success.
As for my safety, you don't have to worry at all.
I will hide and act in secret, and it is impossible for others to discover me..."
