In order to convince the great elder, Chu Tianchen used secret techniques on the spot to hide his figure and aura.
As a result, he seemed to disappear out of thin air.
Even if he was standing next to the great elder, the great elder could neither see him nor sense his aura.
This method is undoubtedly very convincing, making it difficult for the great elder to refute.
After hesitating and hesitating for a while, the great elder finally managed to choke out two words.
"sharp!"
Chu Tianchen then removed his concealment technique and reappeared in front of the great elder.
"In that case, please ask the Great Elder to open the hatch."
"This..." The great elder was very hesitant and struggled for a while before casting a spell to open the warship's hatch.
"Mr. Chu, you must be careful and don't force anything!"
Recalling Feng Ningsu's instructions in his mind, the elder was a little worried and quickly warned him.
"Don't worry, Great Elder, I'll be fine." Chu Tianchen nodded to the Great Elder, then turned around and flew towards the cabin door.
"Whoa!"
With a flash of inspiration, Chu Tianchen walked through the hatch and left the warship.
As soon as he entered the blue sky, he used the art of concealment to hide his figure and traces.
Next, the warship flew towards the north, while he galloped towards the south.
The distance between the two sides quickly widened and disappeared into the sky in a short while.
In the control room of the warship, the Great Elder murmured with a solemn face: "Mr. Chu, you must not have any accidents, otherwise how can I explain to the Lord of the Palace?"
He couldn't convince Chu Tianchen, but he didn't want to betray Feng Ningsu's trust, so he could only pray that Chu Tianchen wouldn't encounter any danger.
Even if a strong man from the Zhan family is ambushed in this area, just let him meet and deal with it.
…
On the other side, Chu Tianchen was galloping high in the sky and released invisible spiritual consciousness, extending in all directions.
His spiritual consciousness was like mercury pouring down the ground, covering a hundred miles in radius.
Wherever he passed, all disturbances within a hundred miles could not be hidden from his detection.
He can even clearly perceive the activities of birds and animals in the jungle and the crawling ants and insects underground.
Unknowingly, an hour passed.
Chu Tianchen suddenly detected that in the endless swamp on the right, there was a flash of spiritual energy fluctuation in a lake dozens of miles away.
So, he quickly flew towards the lake.
After a while, he came to the sky above the lake.
The lake with a radius of dozens of miles is like a bright pearl embedded in the earth.
The water surface was blown by the breeze, causing waves to appear.
On the surface, the entire lake looks very peaceful and nothing unusual.
But Chu Tianchen observed carefully and found that there were some gullies and deep pits on the edge of the lake, which seemed to have appeared in recent days.
The jungle not far from the lake shore also showed signs of collapse and fragmentation, as if it had been covered by swords and swords.
Based on Chu Tianchen's experience, he immediately judged that those were the traces left by a fighting battle.
So, he covered the entire lake with his spiritual consciousness and launched a detailed search.
After a while, he found the source of the spiritual energy fluctuations.
It was a hundred feet deep lake bottom. In a pit filled with rocks, weapons and armor fragments were scattered all over the ground, as well as some bones.
Although, those bones had suffered devastating trauma, leaving only stumps, broken arms and fragments.
However, it can be seen that the flesh and blood on the bones have not yet rotted, and the death time should not exceed one day.
"Whoa!"
Chu Tianchen quietly crossed the lake and flew towards the rock pit at the bottom of the lake.
Soon, he arrived near the pothole and started searching carefully.
Within half a quarter of an hour, he had obtained the results of his investigation.
The corpses scattered in this pit were mostly mutilated and could not be pieced together completely. We could only estimate that there were about forty people.
The armor and weapons of these corpses are all standard, and their strength is between the third and seventh levels of the supernatural realm.
Chu Tianchen was basically certain that these people were the guards of Wuji Palace.
As he expected, the death time of these guards did not exceed ten hours.
But unfortunately, after the guards were killed, the Najie was taken away, leaving no useful clues.
"It seems that Hou Tao and his five hundred guards were attacked near this lake."
Therefore, Chu Tianchen started a blanket search with the lake as the center and within a few hundred miles around.
In just half an hour, he searched a radius of 600 miles and found nine battlefields.
There were a total of more than 490 corpses scattered in nine battlefields, and the death conditions were all miserable.
Chu Tianchen even found Hou Tao's body from a pile of bones.
Even though he was buried in a deep pit underground, Hou Tao still stood up straight and looked forward.
He lost his right arm and both legs, there were several bowl-sized bloody holes in his chest and abdomen, and his internal organs were shattered.
The armor he was wearing had long been in tatters, and after being stained red by blood, it turned black again.
Until the moment of death, he still held his head high, and his face full of wounds was full of anger and unyielding.
Although, Chu Tianchen still found no useful clues that could prove the enemy's identity, origin, movement trajectory, etc.
But he silently collected the bones of Hou Tao and his guards and stored them in a corner of Najie.
These people died fighting for Wuji Palace without any regrets. Not only would he bring these bones back to Wuji Palace, he would also kill the invading enemies and avenge these guards!
Raging anger surged in Chu Tianchen's chest.
His face and eyes became cold, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
Although he did not know Hou Tao and others, and he had no grudges against the Zhan family.
But the tragic death of Hou Tao and his guards made him feel heavy and murderous.
He placed the bones of all the guards in the corner of Najie and continued to search south.
An hour later, he detected another abnormal situation.
It was in a large, fast-flowing river, and there was a very obscure fluctuation of spiritual power, fleeting at the bottom of the river.
And that big river is ninety miles away from Chu Tianchen.
If it were anyone else, even a powerful person in the Emperor realm, they might not be able to discover it.
But Chu Tianchen just caught that trace of spiritual power fluctuation and flew over without hesitation.
When he flew to the river, the bottom of the river was always calm and there was no more spiritual fluctuation.
But Chu Tianchen would not misjudge, he believed in his spiritual knowledge and insight.
Not long after, he reached the top of the surging river.
He used his spiritual sense to carefully explore the bottom of the river and found that there was nothing unusual except for silt and sand.
However, he opened the Zhenjing Spiritual Eye again, explored it again, and discovered the clues.
On the seemingly normal river bottom, there is an invisible layer of light beneath the thick mud and sand.
That layer of light mask is a kind of formation, which has the function of blocking spiritual power and isolating the detection of spiritual consciousness. It is very concealed.
Chu Tianchen quickly got into the river and landed on the bottom of the river full of mud.
He approached the translucent mask, looked inside the mask, and saw the outline of a spaceship.
It was a twenty-foot-long flying boat, parked quietly at the bottom of the river, wrapped in a great concealment formation.
Some scars were faintly visible on the surface of the flying boat, which was constantly flashing with spiritual light.
There were more than a dozen warriors surrounding the flying boat, constantly knocking on it, or working together to cast spells, obviously repairing the flying boat.
Chu Tianchen immediately narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
"You're actually hiding here to rest? You've even set up an imperial formation to hide your aura?
No wonder the guards of Wuji Palace can never find their target, but they are constantly being attacked..."
With this thought flashing through his mind, Chu Tianchen immediately took out the God-killing Sword and used all his strength to slash towards the hidden formation.
"Whoa!"
At the bottom of the dark river, a huge sword with a length of ten feet and bright golden light appeared out of thin air.
The violent sword intent shook away the mud and sand at the bottom of the river, making the surrounding river water turbid.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the giant sword of golden light struck the hidden formation with a loud bang, making a deafening sound.
The violent shock wave spread in all directions, blasting a deep pit with a radius of ten miles in the bottom of the river.
The terrifying impact stirred up endless river water and surged into the sky to form huge waves.
At the same time, the light shield of the Imperial Concealment Formation was cut through, opening a huge gap and leaking spiritual power crazily.
"Whoa!"
Taking advantage of the chaos at the bottom of the river, Chu Tianchen's figure flashed and rushed through the gap into the formation.
Not far away, a dozen warriors in black clothes who were repairing the flying boat were stunned.
They never expected that they would be discovered while hiding under the muddy riverbed and protected by a large concealment formation.
Moreover, the concealment formation has been breached, why is there no trace of the enemy?
Who broke through their imperial formation?
More than a dozen black-clothed warriors all have the strength of princes, but they are unable to detect the existence of Chu Tianchen.
They just relied on their instinctive reaction, drew their swords vigilantly, and searched around with full vigilance.
But this is obviously a useless effort.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
In the next moment, several rays of sword light appeared out of thin air and instantly pierced the foreheads of several black-clothed warriors.
Their souls were shattered in an instant, and they were killed on the spot without even making a sound.
Several other warriors in black were so frightened that they rushed to the hatch of the flying boat desperately, trying to hide in the flying boat.
However, several more rays of sword light suddenly appeared and pierced the back of their heads with precision.
In this way, more than a dozen warriors in black were killed instantly, and their bodies fell on the sand below the flying boat.
Inside the flying boat, there was originally silence.
However, the sound of Chu Tianchen breaking through the formation and instantly killing more than a dozen black-clothed warriors awakened the people in the flying boat.
A leader of the Emperor Realm realized that the situation was not good and quickly awakened more than 60 masters who were exercising their power and adjusting their breath.
The leader, who was wearing a purple robe and an evil ghost fang mask, did not rush out of the airship to check the situation.
He held a sword in his hand and released invisible spiritual consciousness, spreading in all directions to search for the enemy's whereabouts.
The more than sixty black-clothed masters from the princely realm also prepared their weapons, silently accumulating spiritual power, and were ready to charge and fight at any time.
However, the purple-robed leader's spiritual sense searched all around and found no trace of Chu Tianchen.
But at this time, a disaster that they did not expect was about to come!
Chu Tianchen, who was in a hidden state, held the God-killing Sword in both hands and raised it high, frantically accumulating strength.
When his strength reached its peak, he roared angrily and slashed hard at Fei Zhou's midsection with the God-killing Sword.
