Pengfei was unsuspecting, and after entering the secret room, he concentrated on practicing exercises to heal his injuries.
Ji Tianxing was different, he was more cautious.
As early as a thousand years ago, when he was in the Dragon Realm, he had never come into contact with the Taotie tribe, but he had heard discussions about the Taotie tribe.
Generally speaking, Taotie Clan's reputation is not very good.
Greed, cunning and cruelty are synonymous with the Taotie clan.
Although, Tao Wangchuan and Tao Changji were very friendly, enthusiastic and respectful to him.
But he didn't completely trust these two people.
Especially after entering the Star-Eating Cave, he vaguely felt that the atmosphere of the Taotie clan was a bit uncomfortable.
I can't tell the specific reason for this discomfort, but there are always some clues.
For example, the two Taotie youths and the four guards of Wangchuan Palace all had strange eyes.
Although he couldn't tell what was weird, he always felt that those six people were not as enthusiastic as Tao Wangchuan and Tao Changji.
Moreover, the enthusiasm and kindness of Tao Wangchuan and Tao Changji are very likely to be fake.
With this thought in mind, Ji Tianxing healed his injuries in the distorted time and space for a few days, and then exited the distorted time and space.
"Whoa!"
He returned to the dimly lit secret room, released his spiritual consciousness and extended outward, secretly observing the situation of Wangchuan Palace and the entire Taotie clan.
Although a divine array is arranged in the secret room, it can isolate sounds, divine power fluctuations, and block the detection of divine consciousness.
However, the level of the divine array is not high, so for Ji Tianxing, it is useless.
He quickly saw the situation in Wangchuan Palace clearly, and immediately frowned, showing doubts in his eyes.
The four guards in red armor were guarding outside his and Pengfei's secret room.
In addition, there were eight more guards from the Divine Lord Realm inside and outside Wangchuan Palace, all of whom were vigilantly guarding the important roads.
"There were only four guards in the palace, so how come there were eight more guards?
What is Tao Wangchuan doing? It shouldn't be to protect us, right?
Is it to... monitor and put us under house arrest?"
Ji Tianxing became suspicious and decided to test it later.
He released his spiritual consciousness and extended it in all directions, secretly exploring a radius of thousands of miles.
Almost all the Taotie tribe live in deserts with a radius of thousands of miles.
There are more than 600 palaces and mansions in this area, and more than 6,000 people live there, all of them are Taotie tribe.
Of course, the vast majority of the Taotie people are in the outer circle, and they only have the strength of true gods and gods.
Anyone who can live in two circles basically has the strength of the Divine Lord Realm.
Either he is a young expert from the Taotie tribe, the target of intensive training, or he is a guard.
The dozen or so palaces in the innermost circle are all inhabited by powerful God Kings, with more than forty people in total.
Among them, there are more than twenty lower god kings, twelve intermediate god kings, and eight upper god kings!
The most powerful ones are the two divine kings of the ninth level, living in the most sacred and solemn palace in the middle.
Ji Tianxing guessed that those two people should be the chief and deputy chief of the Taotie tribe, or maybe the high priest.
"The strength of this Taotie clan cannot be underestimated. It is more powerful than those ancient clans in the God Realm."
This thought flashed through Ji Tianxing's mind.
At the same time, he also determined that if he fell out with the Taotie tribe, he would basically be unable to escape from the siege of the Taotie tribe, and it would be difficult to escape from the Star-Eating Cave.
When he thought of this, he suddenly felt like a sheep in a wolf's den.
However, he did not panic until the Taotie clan's attitude was confirmed.
"Try it out first before talking."
Having made up his mind, Ji Tianxing got up and left the secret room and walked outside.
The two guards guarding the door of the secret room quickly bowed and saluted when they saw him coming out.
"See Mr. Long!"
Seeing Ji Tianxing walking out, the two guards quickly reached out to stop him and asked: "Master Long, where are you going?"
Ji Tianxing pretended not to know and replied casually: "I'm going to go outside and take a look at the scenery."
One of the guards quickly dissuaded him: "Mr. Long, my master has ordered that you are seriously injured and should stay in a secret room to recuperate peacefully and not move around at will."
Another guard also nodded and said in agreement: "Mr. Long, you'd better practice your martial arts to heal your injuries first!
The master is reporting the situation to the clan leader. Our clan will entertain you warmly later, so please wait patiently."
Ji Tianxing frowned and said in an indifferent tone: "I won't leave Wangchuan Palace, but will just walk around the palace."
Unfortunately, the two guards still stopped him and refused to let him leave.
"Master Long, we are just guards, we cannot be the masters."
"Master Long, please go back to the secret room to heal your wounds, don't make it difficult for us..."
Seeing the resolute attitude of the two guards, Ji Tianxing's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom.
He said no more, turned around and returned to the secret room, closing the stone door.
The two guards breathed a sigh of relief and guarded the door of the secret room again, as silent as statues.
Ji Tianxing realized that something was wrong, so he secretly sent a message to Pengfei and asked him to test it out.
Pengfei didn't know what was going on, so he quickly ended his practice and tried to leave the secret room and wander outside.
As a result, he was also stopped by two guards guarding the door of the secret room and was "persuaded" to go back.
Pengfei was full of depression and secretly sent a message to Ji Tianxing, what was going on?
Ji Tianxing didn't say anything more, he just advised him not to think too much and continue practicing exercises to heal his injuries.
He secretly released his spiritual consciousness to explore the situation of the Taotie clan.
At the same time, his consciousness searched everywhere for traces of Tao Wangchuan and Tao Changji.
He wanted to see what those two guys were doing?
Have you reported the situation to the Taotie Clan Chief?
As a result, a quarter of an hour later, he indeed detected the traces of Tao Wangchuan and Tao Changji.
The two guys walked out of a palace named 'Rongxing' with satisfied smiles on their faces.
The two were talking and laughing all the way, obviously in a good mood, and seemed to be looking forward to something very much.
However, the two of them communicated through sound transmission in secret, and Ji Tianxing could not find out what they were talking about.
After leaving Rongxing Palace, Tao Wangchuan and Tao Changji returned to their respective residences and there was no news.
Tao Wangchuan returned to Wangchuan Palace and did not bother Ji Tianxing and Pengfei. Instead, he asked the guards about the situation.
When he learned that Ji Tianxing and Pengfei both tried to go out, but were stopped by the guards, Tao Wangchuan frowned, with a flash of doubt in his eyes.
Although he didn't say anything, Ji Tianxing saw the subtle changes in his expression.
After a while, Tao Wangchuan gave some instructions to the guards and went back to his room to rest.
Ji Tianxing also withdrew his consciousness and stopped investigating the situation outside.
He quickly entered the distorted time and space of the Nine Heavens and Ten Jue Towers and began to use his energy to recover from his injuries.
"Judging from the current situation, the kindness and enthusiasm of Tao Wangchuan and Tao Changji are all fake!
Most of them have evil intentions and want to attack Pengfei and me.
We cannot sit still and wait for death, we must immediately find ways to treat our injuries and regain our strength!"
These thoughts flashed through Ji Tianxing's mind, and his expression and eyes became a little solemn.
He quickly took out dozens of divine fruits, king-level divine pills, and mountains of source stones, and began to use his power to devour and refine them.
