Even though it was late at night, the hundreds of palaces in the Netherworld Divine Palace were still brightly lit and filled with people.
There were large groups of guards guarding the main roads and gates.
In the sky, in the depths of the earth, and in many buildings, there were many hidden sentries and Divine King experts.
This was the core of Reincarnation Island's power and Commander Minghe's lair. Of course, it was the most heavily guarded place.
Even with Ji Tianxing's strength, he had to be careful if he didn't want to alert the guards and Divine King experts here.
He shuttled through the many palaces in the divine palace, silently wandering, looking for traces of Commander Minghe.
At the same time, he quietly released a wisp of divine consciousness to carefully investigate the situation around him.
After about a hundred breaths of time, he figured out the defensive situation of the Netherworld Divine Palace.
There were fifty thousand soldiers under Commander Minghe's command stationed in Youdu.
Thirty thousand of them were stationed on the city walls, as well as the main roads and important buildings in the city. They were also responsible for patrolling and supervising the entire city.
The Netherworld Divine Palace, which had a circumference of a few dozen miles, was actually guarded by 20,000 soldiers, and there were even 200 Godking experts among them!
It was clear that Commander Minghe had concentrated his high-end combat power and forty percent of his soldiers in the Netherworld Divine Palace.
Even if Youdu City was breached, he could rely on the defense of the Netherworld Divine Palace to continue resisting the attacks of the Rebel Alliance.
Of course, this was only Commander Minghe's plan.
As Ji Tianxing infiltrated the Netherworld Divine Palace, his plan and premeditation were destined to be ruined.
In the blink of an eye, an hour passed.
Ji Tianxing searched the Netherworld Divine Palace but couldn't find Commander Minghe.
After a round of searching, he had a clear understanding of the defenses in the Divine Palace.
It turned out that Commander Minghe had also adjusted the defense and distribution of troops in the divine palace. There were some differences from the Blood Hell Marshal's memory.
In addition, when Ji Tianxing was looking for Commander Minghe, he found that the morale of the guards wasn't high. Many of them were tired and passive.
It could be seen that the guards were vigilant and alert, ready to fight at any time. They must have been like this for a few days.
After all, they were only at the Divine Lord Realm. It was difficult to maintain a tense state for long periods of time. It was inevitable that they were tired.
Moreover, the twenty thousand defenders were divided into many factions.
They belonged to the 18 Region Lords, a few ancient clans, and a few top forces.
Another portion of the guards were the original Forbidden Guards of the Nether God Palace.
These twenty thousand defenders were pieced together by many different forces, causing them to not obey each other and not have any tacit understanding.
Usually, a garrison of one to two thousand people would only listen to the orders of their leader.
If Commander Minghe wanted to give an order, he couldn't pass it directly to the defending army. He had to pass it on through the many Domain Lords, generals, and God Kings.
This undoubtedly showed that it was very difficult for the defending army to display their full combat strength.
In the future, if the Rebel Alliance were to attack Youdu City, this would be one of the advantageous conditions.
Returning to the main topic, Ji Tianxing collected his thoughts and began to ponder where Commander Styx was hiding.
The most dignified divine palace was where the meeting hall was located. If Commander Minghe wanted to gather the generals for a meeting, he would definitely appear there.
Furthermore, for the past thousand years, Commander Styx had spent most of his time in that Divine Palace.
However, after Ji Tianxing checked that Divine Palace and the two underground palaces hidden underground, he still couldn't find Commander Minghe.
According to the memories of the Blood Hell Marshal, he found two hiding places of the Nether River Commanders.
One was the Surging Waves Tavern in the depths of the divine palace. It was located beside the Surging Waves Lake and had a quiet environment. It contained a hundred thousand books and was very heavily guarded.
When Commander Minghe wasn't dealing with government affairs or cultivating in seclusion, he would often stay in the Surging Waves Tavern for a few days, quietly reading books or thinking about problems.
The other place was an ordinary palace in the depths of the divine palace.
In that palace, there were a few family members of Commander Minghe and a large number of guards and servants serving them.
When Commander Minghe was in a bad mood, tired, or worried, he would stay with his family members for a few days.
Ji Tianxing analyzed that with the current situation, Commander Minghe must be in a bad mood and under great pressure.
Furthermore, Commander Minghe was in charge of the overall situation and had to think about many problems calmly.
Therefore, both places could be Commander Minghe's hiding place.
Ji Tianxing secretly rushed to the Surging Waves Tavern and used a small trick to deceive the guards and sneak into the Surging Waves Tavern.
However, he released his consciousness and executed divine arts and secret techniques to search the Surging Waves Tavern carefully, but he still couldn't find Commander Minghe.
He could only leave the Surging Waves Tavern and head to the second hiding place.
That inconspicuous palace looked very ordinary on the surface, but its defenses were even tighter than the other palaces.
However, this wasn't a problem for Ji Tianxing at all.
He used divine arts and secret techniques to sneak into the palace and carefully search for 15 minutes.
He did find a few family members of Commander Minghe, but he still couldn't find Commander Minghe.
This time, he was in a complete dilemma and couldn't help but think, 'Netherworld Divine Palace is only so big, with a radius of a few dozen miles. I've already searched everywhere … Where is Commander Minghe hiding?
Could it be that this sly old fellow had already predicted that I would come to assassinate him, so he hid in advance?
Or could it be that he abandoned the guards of Youdu City and left Youdu City long ago to escape by himself? '
Ji Tianxing pondered for a moment and felt that the second possibility wasn't very likely.
The most likely possibility was that Commander Minghe was still hiding.
Therefore, he continued to wander around the Netherworld Divine Palace and started a carpet search.
After 15 minutes, he found a clue as expected.
Ten domain lords walked out from different palaces and left the Netherworld Divine Palace at the same time.
After they left the 'inner city', they were very low-key and hid their tracks and auras as they quietly rushed to a certain house in the south of the city.
Seeing this scene, Ji Tianxing was stunned for a moment before realization dawned on him and he smiled knowingly.
'Hahaha … Commander Minghe, that sly old fox, is indeed cunning!
If I didn't see those ten domain lords rushing over at the same time, who would have thought that he wouldn't hide in the safest Netherworld Divine Palace but in the marketplace? '
That's right!
Ji Tianxing saw the ten domain lords rushing to the house in the south of the city and guessed that they were under orders to meet Commander Minghe.
As for Commander Minghe, he was hiding in an ordinary house in the marketplace. It was truly a ruse, and no one would have expected him to be here.
Logically speaking, Kenshin would lead the Rebel Alliance's army and pay a huge price to take over Youdu City. They would definitely head straight for the Netherworld Divine Palace.
At that time, the twenty thousand guards and two hundred God King experts guarding the Netherworld Divine Palace would definitely counterattack with all their might.
Commander Minghe, who was hiding in the marketplace, would be ignored by the Rebel Alliance. He could take advantage of the chaos to escape Youdu City.
By the time the Rebel Alliance took over the Netherworld Divine Palace and discovered that Commander Minghe was missing, it would be too late to search and kill him.
Commander Minghe's move was indeed brilliant and daring!
