Ji Tianxing had set up the Grand Formation of Li Capital to separate it from the outside world.
Both the Kongming Temple and the Beast Race knew of each other's existence, but they pretended not to know.
Both sides did their best to remain silent and bide their time so that the other side wouldn't notice.
At this moment, the most anxious people weren't the Beast Race, but the four Temple Masters.
They were almost certain that the young god emperor of the Desolate Race was in the great formation ahead of them.
As long as they could break through the defensive formation and enter Li Capital, they would be able to capture the Flood God Emperor.
If they could kill the two Beast Race ancestors along the way, they could eliminate the Beast Race as a major threat.
The uneducated Beast Race was weak to begin with. If they lost two God Emperor Realm ancestors, they would be nothing more than a tray of loose sand waiting to be slaughtered.
The four Temple Masters couldn't wait to see what would happen.
But the First Temple Master had already ordered that no one was to act rashly until he arrived.
The four Temple Masters could only suppress their excitement and silently pray that the Flood God Emperor wouldn't notice anything amiss.
In addition, the First Temple Master also needed to arrive as soon as possible.
Both sides were in a tense situation, so time seemed to pass very slowly.
It had only been two days, but it felt like two months had passed for the four Palace Masters and the numerous guards.
The First Temple Master naturally wouldn't arrive that quickly. According to the message sent by his guard captain, he would only arrive in about three days.
At this moment, more than two thousand Divine Beasts and Vicious Beasts within a million kilometers of Li Capital received a secret order and began to move.
As usual, they leisurely wandered around their respective areas of activity, as if they were patrolling their own territories.
But they were different from usual. While they appeared to be unconcerned, they were actually searching their surroundings with all their might in order to find the traces left behind by the Kongming Temple.
Moreover, after they finished patrolling their territories, they still had to continue in the direction of Li Capital and conduct a carpet search along the way.
Of course, according to the two ancestors' orders, the Lower and Middle God King Beasts didn't need to conceal their presence.
Only a small number of Upper God King Beasts, as elites, needed to conceal their presence so that the experts of the Kongming Temple wouldn't notice.
After the Beasts began their operations, they didn't find anything for a day.
They didn't discover the Kongming Temple's army, nor did they find any useful clues.
But on the second day, things took a turn for the better.
After a few hundred Beasts approached Li Capital, a few Upper God King Beasts discovered something amiss three hundred thousand kilometers away from Li Capital.
Some Beasts didn't discover any traces of the Kongming Temple army, but they sensed a dangerous aura hidden nearby.
It was as if their natural enemies were lurking in the darkness, watching their movements at all times, ready to rush out at any time and chop them into pieces.
Two of the more powerful beasts, due to their innate abilities, discovered that there was a gigantic shadow hidden between the mountains and rivers.
With their experience and knowledge, they could only guess that the hazy black shadow was a high-level divine ship of the Temple of Kongming, but they couldn't find out more information.
One of the beasts was more cautious. After reporting the news to the Sky Splitter Ancestor, he left quietly.
As for the other Beast Race, their way of doing things was more radical. It was also possible that they were eager to make contributions.
It mustered its courage to approach the black figure, hoping to figure out how many Desolate race experts were hidden in the battleship.
As a result, when it was a few hundred miles away from the black shadow, it was mercilessly attacked and killed.
The overwhelming pillar of divine power instantly drowned it, giving it no chance to resist or escape. It was blasted into smithereens on the spot.
Reality proved that when it discovered the divine ship of the Kongming Temple, the elite guards guarding the divine ship had already discovered it.
When it approached the divine warship in an attempt to break through its concealment, the guards operating the divine warship had no choice but to kill it.
That was a decisive decision. That unlucky beast race Godking didn't manage to pass the news to Skysplitter.
However, the disturbance caused by the several hundred pillars of divine power was too great. Everyone within a hundred thousand miles could see the light or sense the ripples of divine power.
The Beast Race Godking's tragic death also exposed the location of the third hall master's ship.
After the incident, the surrounding beasts who sensed the commotion hurriedly sent a message to Li City to report the situation to Ancestor Sky Splitter.
The Desolate race Godly Monarchs, who were controlling the divine cruiser, were also vexed. They could only quietly change their positions.
…
Late at night on the fourth day.
Ji Tianxing ended his reclusive cultivation and left the distorted space-time, returning to the Divine Palace.
Four days had passed outside, but he had already cultivated in the distorted space-time for two hundred days.
The divine power he had previously expended had completely recovered, and he was once again in peak condition.
The Strange Cloud Bird, who was guarding outside the Divine Palace, hurriedly reported to him that Ancestor Sky Splitter had urgent matters to discuss with him.
Ji Tianxing guessed that it had something to do with the Kongming Temple, and hurriedly got the Strange Cloud Bird to invite Skysplitter over.
In less than fifty breaths, Skysplitter rushed into the Divine Palace and appeared in front of Ji Tianxing.
The two of them met in the study. After Skysplitter greeted him, he went straight to the point and said, "Long Tian, your method is indeed useful. We have found the other party's location!"
Ji Tianxing's eyes lit up, revealing a look of anticipation. He said, "Tell me about the situation."
Skysplitter explained, "Yan Li and I contacted more than two thousand Godly Monarch realm citizens and got them to investigate the situation around Li City.
Most of our people have found nothing, but two of our people have sent us news.
One of them was three hundred thousand miles to the east of Li City. A citizen of the Ninth Tier Godly Monarch realm saw a black shadow there.
It was a Thousand-eyed Spider, and it had a special ability that allowed it to see through some camouflage and Mystery Techniques.
According to its judgment, that black shadow should be a Divine Warship.
However, that Divine Warship was of a very high grade, and it was unable to find out more information, so it could only retreat quietly.
The other one was three hundred thousand miles to the north of Li City.
It was also a citizen of the Ninth Tier Godly Monarch realm, and he had a special ability. He also saw a black shadow.
However, he was more daring. After he sent us the news, he tried to get close to that black shadow to see what it was.
In the end … he did not send back any more news.
According to the citizens nearby, they saw a dazzling divine light at that location, and it seemed like a battle had taken place there.
However, when they rushed to the location of the incident, they only saw ruins, and could not find that citizen.
Therefore, that poor fellow must have been killed by the experts of the Kongming Temple. "
After listening to Skysplitter's explanation, Ji Tianxing frowned and muttered to himself, "Two Divine Warships? One is three hundred thousand miles to the east of Li City, and the other is three hundred thousand miles to the north?
No wonder I could not detect the army of the Kongming Temple when I used my secret technique.
I did not expect them to be so cunning, hiding in the Divine Warships and maintaining a distance of three hundred thousand miles from Li City!
However, they are surrounding us, so there must be more than two Divine Warships! "
