Chen Hao looked at the corpses in the bloody land with his vain eyes.
He was looking for the body of Chang Fifty-four.
Chen Hao had never seen Chang Wusi before, but before setting off, Emperor Xuanqing gave him the consciousness that contained Chang Wusi's appearance and related information.
Even if Chang Wusi died and was completely unrecognizable, with no bones left, Chen Hao could still find him with this information.
Unless Chang Wusi was burned by someone and all traces of his aura were removed, there would be nothing he could do even if the gods came.
The Bloody Land was so weird that Chen Hao didn't dare to use his spiritual sense to check it because he didn't know what it did.
One corpse, two corpses, three corpses... Chen Hao checked very carefully.
The Eye of Illusion can not only see the essence, but also combine the surrounding situation to view a lot of information.
For example, based on the nature of the corpse, we know the cultivation strength of the corpse before death, and then based on the traces near the corpse, we can deduce what magical powers, spells, magic weapons, talismans, etc. the corpse used during its lifetime.
Especially with the strength of cultivation, one can roughly determine who the corpse belonged to in the court or in the Dark Valley during his lifetime.
Extraordinary people respect strength, and the weak eat the strong. No matter what organization, they basically follow this simple rule.
Dark Valley is no exception, and neither is Dasheng Dynasty.
Therefore, those with stronger cultivation base are basically the leaders.
Wisdom cannot be said to be unimportant, but if you only have wisdom, you can only become a strategist and the like, but not a leader.
The distribution of these corpses generally follows a pattern: the closer they are to the dividing line between blood color and normal light, the lower their cultivation strength is.
The corpses within Chen Hao's line of sight were basically in the middle or peak stages of the Void Refining stage, and they were not in the late stage of the Void Refining stage until thousands of meters away.
More than 10,000 meters away, the body of the monk in the integration stage appeared.
Chen Hao didn't know the Fusion Stage monks in Dark Valley, but there were only five Fusion Stage monks in the imperial court, and he got detailed information about them all from Emperor Xuan Qing.
After all, monks in the integration stage are known to be powerful. Even in the imperial court, every one of them is a well-known big shot and cannot be like a nobody.
Except for Chang Wusi, who is the peak royal family in the middle stage of integration, the other four monks in the integration stage are all first-class guards of the imperial court.
A first-grade bodyguard is equivalent to a first-grade official, with an extremely high level, reaching the top.
Some people may ask, what about the Mahayana period?
The Mahayana stage is not classified into grades, each one is a transcendent existence.
As for the first-grade bodyguard, it is a fictitious title and is not responsible for specific work. In other words, the work depends on the specific situation.
As a powerful person in the integration stage, he naturally does not need to do everything personally. He is only responsible for some difficult tasks or dealing with opponents of the same level.
For example, destroy mysterious evil cultivation organizations like Dark Valley.
Of the four first-grade guards, three are in the early stages of integration, and one is in the peak stage of early integration.
Coupled with Chang Fifty-four, who is at the peak of the middle stage of integration, this kind of strength is extremely powerful. Unless he commits suicide or encounters a monster like the Mahayana stage, it is almost impossible to annihilate the whole army.
But Chen Hao saw their corpses, each about ten miles apart, lined up and lying on the ground.
The corpse still retains its full appearance, no mutilation, and no disfigurement. However, after becoming a corpse, it will naturally not be easy to see.
The four first-grade guards were all killed. Judging from the traces of the battle, they should have been attacked by powerful forces indiscriminately, resisted hard, and finally died of exhaustion.
The body was surrounded by incomplete magic weapons and the like. The Eye of Illusion also saw faint residual talismans stirring in the air. In addition, there was also some very weak magic aura.
These are enough to prove that the four first-grade guards went through an extremely fierce battle before they died. They were ultimately defeated and all were defeated.
Being able to forcefully consume four fused monks to death shows what a powerful enemy they are.
But the strange thing is that Chen Hao did not see the body of the Dark Valley monk in the corresponding place or not far away.
There are corpses of monks in the Dark Valley, but all of them are monks in the middle or late stage of Void Refining, and there are no monks in the integration stage.
Chen Hao frowned slightly.
There are no corpses of the monks in the integration stage in the Dark Valley, which can only mean that either there are no monks in the integration stage in the Dark Valley, and the strongest ones are only in the late stage of Void Refining.
Either the integration stage monks from the Dark Valley were too powerful and killed all the four first-class guards of the imperial court and then left.
The former is unlikely.
If there were no Fusion Stage monks in Dark Valley, then the court monks would massacre them one-sidedly, and no one would be killed at all.
Even if he is at the peak of the late stage of Void Refining, he cannot be the enemy of a monk in the early stage of integration. If the two meet, the latter will instantly kill the former without any suspense.
The imperial court would never allow its Void Refining monks to fight with the Dark Valley monks, resulting in casualties.
After all, the Void Refining cultivators are also the backbone of the imperial court. There are obviously Fusion cultivators here, so why would they let their subordinates risk their lives?
Even for the purpose of training troops, the combined monks will first kill the enemy's strongest force, and only when there is no threat will they send out their subordinates.
The fact is that all the monks brought by the imperial court died.
In the Valley of Darkness, at least half of the real zombie monks were court monks. Judging from the number, they should be the majority of the court's troops. For some unknown reason, they all turned into zombies and were locked up in an airtight black building.
A few elites all died in the bloody land after the teleportation.
Even four first-grade bodyguards in the integration stage were killed in battle. How can this explain that Dark Valley is not strong?
But if it's the latter, it doesn't feel right.
According to the intelligence, the strength of Dark Valley is not that strong.
The one who can kill the four first-grade guards of the imperial court without any damage to himself must at least be a late-stage Fusion monk.
If Chang Fifty-four is included, then there must be at least the same number of combined monks in Dark Valley, and at least two peak late-stage combined monks.
And this was under the condition that Chang Fifty-Four and the four first-grade guards fought to the death without escaping for their lives.
The monks in the integration stage may be defeated, but if they focus on escaping, they will be very difficult to kill, even if they are at the peak of the late integration stage versus the early integration stage monks.
Unless a Mahayana monk takes action.
How could the Dark Valley be so powerful?
No matter how derelict the imperial intelligence department was, it would never make such a misjudgment.
Taking a step back, even if the Dark Valley is so powerful, logically, if the court fights to the death, at least one of them will be killed or the other party will be seriously injured.
However, there were no corpses of the Dark Valley Fusion Stage monks at the scene, and the Eye of Illusion did not see any traces or auras of the Fusion Stage level power that did not belong to the imperial court.
The Eye of Illusion can see the essence, which can only mean one thing, there are no integration-stage monks in the Dark Valley.
Or to be more precise, there may be monks in the integration stage in the Dark Valley, but at least they don't appear here.
