Peng Fei was not on guard at all. After entering the secret chamber, he focused on healing his injuries.
Ji Tianxing, on the other hand, was different. He was more cautious.
A thousand years ago, when he was in the Dragon Realm, he had never come into contact with the Taotie Clan, but he had heard discussions about the Taotie Clan.
In general, the Taotie Clan's reputation was not too good.
Greed, cunning, and tyranny were synonymous with the Taotie Clan.
Although Tao Wangchuan and Tao Changji were very friendly, warm, and respectful to him, he did not believe them.
He did not completely trust these two people.
Especially after entering the Star Devouring Grotto-Heaven, he vaguely felt that the Taotie Clan's atmosphere was a little uncomfortable.
This kind of discomfort, he could not pinpoint the specific reason, but there were always some clues.
For example, those two Taotie Clan youths and the four guards of the Forgotten River Palace, their gazes were a little strange.
Although he could not pinpoint what was strange, he kept feeling that those six people were not as warm as Tao Wangchuan and Tao Changji.
Moreover, Tao Wangchuan and Tao Changji's warmth and friendliness could also be faked.
With such thoughts, Ji Tianxing healed his injuries in the distorted spacetime for a few days, then exited the distorted spacetime.
Swoosh!
He returned to the dimly lit secret chamber and released his Divine Sense to extend outwards, secretly observing the situation of the Forgotten River Palace and the entire Taotie Clan.
Although the secret chamber was set up with a divine array that could isolate sound, divine power waves, and prevent Divine Sense from probing, the divine array's grade was not very high.
However, the grade of the Divine Array was not high. To Ji Tianxing, it was useless.
He quickly saw the situation of the Forgotten River Palace clearly and instantly frowned, revealing a puzzled expression.
Those four guards in red armor were guarding outside his and Peng Fei's secret chamber.
In addition, there were eight more Divine Lord realm guards inside and outside the Forgotten River Palace, all vigilantly guarding the various important passages.
"There were originally only four guards in the palace, why are there eight more guards?
What is Tao Wangchuan doing? It shouldn't be to protect us, right?
Could it be to … monitor and put us under house arrest? "
Ji Tianxing became suspicious and decided to test it out later.
He released his Divine Sense again, extending it in all directions, secretly probing a radius of ten thousand miles.
Almost all the members of the Taotie Clan lived in the barren desert within ten thousand miles.
There were more than six hundred palaces and residences in this area, and more than six thousand people lived there. All of them were from the Taotie Race.
Of course, the vast majority of the Taotie clansmen were in the outer circle, and they only had the strength of True Gods and Celestial Deities.
Those able to live two laps inside basically all had Divine Lord Realm strength.
They were either the young experts of the Taotie Clan who focused on nurturing them, or they were guards.
And in the dozen or so palaces in the innermost circle, there were Divine King powerhouses residing there, a total of over forty people.
Among them, there were over twenty Lower God Kings, twelve Middle God Kings, and eight High God Kings!
The strongest experts were the two ninth stage realm God Kings and they lived in the most sacred and dignified palace in the middle.
Ji Tianxing guessed that those two should be the Taotie Race's Patriarch and Deputy Patriarch. They could also be the High Priest.
"The strength of the Taotie Clan cannot be underestimated. They are much stronger than those ancient clans in the Divine World."
This thought flashed past Ji Tianxing's mind.
At the same time, he also confirmed that if he fell out with the Taotie Clan, he would basically be unable to shake off the siege of the Taotie Clan, and it would be very difficult to escape from the Star Devouring Grotto-Heaven.
Thinking of this, he suddenly had a feeling of a sheep entering a wolf's den.
But before he verified the Taotie Clan's attitude, he did not panic.
"Let's test it out first."
Making up his mind, Ji Tianxing got up and left the secret chamber, heading outside.
The two guards guarding the secret chamber's entrance hurriedly bowed when they saw him coming out.
"Greetings to Young Master Long!"
Seeing Ji Tianxing walking outside, the two guards hurriedly stretched out their hands to stop him and asked, "Young Master Long, where are you going?"
Ji Tianxing pretended not to know and casually replied, "I'm going outside to take a walk and take a look at the scenery."
One of the guards hurriedly dissuaded, "Young Master Long, Master instructed that you are seriously injured and should stay in the secret chamber to recuperate in peace. Don't walk around casually."
The other guard also nodded in agreement and said, "Young Master Long, you should circulate your energy to heal first!
Master is currently reporting the situation to the Clan Leader. Later, our clan will entertain you with great hospitality. Please wait patiently. "
Ji Tianxing frowned and said indifferently, "I won't leave the Wang Chuan Palace. I'll just walk around the palace."
Unfortunately, the two guards still stopped him and insisted on not letting him leave.
"Young Master Long, we are only guards. We can't make the decision."
"Young Master Long, please return to the secret chamber to heal. Don't make it difficult for us …"
Seeing the two guards' firm attitude, Ji Tianxing's eyes flashed with a trace of haze.
He did not say anything else and turned to return to the secret chamber, closing the secret chamber's stone door.
The two guards heaved a sigh of relief and guarded the secret chamber's entrance again, remaining silent like statues.
Ji Tianxing realized that the situation was not right, so he secretly sent a voice transmission to Peng Fei, asking him to test it out.
Peng Fei did not understand the situation, so he hurriedly ended his cultivation and tried to leave the secret chamber to take a walk outside.
In the end, he was also stopped by the two guards guarding the secret chamber's entrance and was' persuaded 'to go back.
Peng Fei was full of gloominess and secretly sent a voice transmission to ask Ji Tianxing, what was going on here?
Ji Tianxing did not say anything. He just urged him not to think too much and continue revolving his energy to heal his injuries.
He secretly released his divine sense again to investigate the Taotie Clan's situation.
At the same time, his divine sense searched everywhere for traces of Tao Wangchuan and Tao Zhangji.
He wanted to see what on earth those two fellows were doing?
Did they report the situation to the Taotie Clan Leader?
As a result, after 15 minutes, he indeed found traces of Tao Wangchuan and Tao Zhangji.
Those two fellows walked out of a palace called Rong Xin, a satisfied smile hanging on their faces.
The two people were talking and laughing along the way. Clearly, their moods were excellent, as if they were looking forward to something very much.
But the two of them were communicating via voice transmission in secret. Ji Tianxing could not detect what the two of them were talking about either.
After leaving the Rong Xin Palace, Tao Wangchuan and Tao Zhangji returned to their respective residences, and there was no more news.
Tao Wangchuan returned to the Wangchuan Palace and did not come to disturb Ji Tianxing and Peng Fei. Instead, he inquired about the situation from the guards.
Knowing that Ji Tianxing and Peng Fei both attempted to go out but were stopped by the guards, Tao Wangchuan furrowed his brows, a hint of doubt flashing across his eyes.
Although he did not say anything, his subtle expression changes were all seen by Ji Tianxing.
After a moment, Tao Wangchuan gave a few instructions to the guards and returned to his room to rest.
Ji Tianxing also withdrew his divine sense and no longer probed the situation outside.
He hurriedly entered the Nine Heavens Ten Absolute Pagoda's distorted spacetime and started revolving his energy to heal his injuries.
"Looking at the current situation, Tao Wangchuan and Tao Zhangji's kindness and enthusiasm are all faked!
They are most likely plotting something sinister, wanting to make a move against me and Peng Fei.
We can't sit and wait for death. We must immediately think of ways to treat our injuries and recover our strength! "
These thoughts flashed across Ji Tianxing's mind, his expression and gaze both somewhat solemn.
He hurriedly took out several dozen divine fruits, king level divine pills, as well as source stones piled up like a mountain, and started revolving his energy to devour and refine.
