The mechanical warriors charged forward as fast as lightning.
Granny Li was about to step forward again, but she was stopped by Ji Wuxiang. With a shift of his mind, the Grand Matrix of Celestial Chess was abruptly activated without warning. No one was even aware of it.
The Qi activity in the bunker had undergone an earth-shattering change.
The mechanical warriors couldn't sense the change in aura and didn't react at all.
The Bureau Chief was a cultivator. He frowned and seemed to have sensed something. However, he didn't take it to heart and looked at Ji Wuxiang with determination.
Bang, bang, bang!
A series of muffled sounds rang out, and the mechanical warriors at the very front seemed to have come into contact with an invisible barrier. They were sent flying by the huge rebounding force, crashing into various instruments. Green smoke rose up, and electric sparks flew in all directions.
The Bureau Chief's pupils shrank as he looked at Ji Wuxiang in shock. He didn't see how Ji Wuxiang counterattacked. Ji Wuxiang didn't seem to have moved at all, but he successfully repelled several people.
Could it be … his speed was so fast that it could deceive the Bureau Chief's eyes?
Unbelievable!
Ji Wuxiang's movements weren't that fast. He didn't move at all. He activated the Heavenly Chess and used the power of the stars to counterattack the mechanical warriors.
This was an invisible attack. The Bureau Chief and the mechanical warriors didn't notice anything.
The mechanical warriors charged forward again without fear. Their attacks were even sharper.
Ji Wuxiang's expression didn't change. He was calm and allowed the other party to charge forward.
Granny Li was excited. She finally saw the power of the Heavenly Chess. She could tell that it was the Great Lord who had activated the Heavenly Chess. This made her blood boil. She looked at the enemy mockingly.
Bang, bang, bang …
Muffled sounds rang out. A few more people hit the invisible barrier and were sent flying.
The Bureau Chief's eyes flashed. He finally realized something and exclaimed, "Is this the power of the Heavenly Chess?"
He had already confirmed that Ji Wuxiang had not made any moves, so this was definitely the power of the Celestial Chess. Immediately, his thoughts became more and more lively. The power of the Celestial Chess had exceeded his expectations. If he took it for himself, wouldn't his strength increase even more?
His eyes lit up as if he was staring at a delicious meal. He didn't even blink.
"Continue!"
Under the Bureau Chief's command, the mechanical warriors crawled up from the ground again and launched attacks without regard for their own safety.
Ji Wuxiang didn't get annoyed, but he didn't use his ultimate move. Of course, he had the confidence to leave the underground fortress, but he didn't want to leave so pathetically. That would be letting the chief off too easily.
He had already realized that the Bureau Chief was a huge threat, and even a huge threat from the government.
With his own strength, it would not be an easy task to completely uproot them by the roots.
That was because the technology to create these mechanical warriors was already fully developed. Even if he killed the Bureau Chief, this technology might not necessarily not be leaked out. Then, there would be another Bureau Chief, and there would be more and more of them, causing him to have no time to care.
Therefore, Ji Wuxiang thought of a very good idea.
However, in order to implement this method, he needed someone to cooperate with him. As for the person who cooperated with him, he knew very well that he would definitely follow the clues and find his way here.
The only thing Ji Wuxiang had to do was to stall for time so that that person would have the time and opportunity to rush over.
As for the clues, he had already given them.
That was the Celestial Chess.
Ji Wuxiang didn't hide the Celestial Chess anymore. Instead, he mightily activated the power of the stars. Above the Nine Heavens, at the top of the firmament, starlight shone brightly.
In broad daylight, there were already faint twinkling stars in the sky.
However, to ordinary people, these twinkling stars were completely covered by the sunlight, and couldn't be seen at all.
However, someone saw it.
Tang Zheng stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky. His eyes were slightly narrowed into slits, but the unreachable stars in the sky shone in his eyes.
His heart was in turmoil, and he muttered to himself, "Power of the stars, could it be that the Celestial Chess has been activated again? Previously, I felt a little strange, and thought it was just my imagination. Now, it seems that it wasn't at all. The Celestial Chess has really reappeared in the world. "
The Empyrean Fairy walked to his side and heard him muttering to himself. She asked curiously, "You said that the Celestial Chess has reappeared in the world? Wasn't the Celestial Chess already destroyed? "
Tang Zheng nodded resentfully, saying, "Ji Wuxiang is extremely intelligent, he must have found other ways to perfect the Celestial Chess. He won't change no matter what, we must stop him."
It was precisely because he understood the power of the Celestial Chess that Tang Zheng had no choice but to think of a way to stop Ji Wuxiang.
The Celestial Chess falling into Ji Wuxiang's hands was definitely not a good thing, it might even bring disaster to this world. Absolute power would lead to absolute danger. If the Celestial Chess covered the entire world, then who would be Ji Wuxiang's opponent?
Tang Zheng didn't want himself, nor did he want the people around him to become chess pieces on the chessboard.
"Then do you have a way to find him?" The Empyrean Fairy's expression turned cold, and she also became serious.
Tang Zheng stared unblinkingly at the sky, saying, "Of course there is a way. It is easy for all things to leave behind traces, the Celestial Chess' traces are the power of the stars."
The Empyrean Fairy nodded thoughtfully. She couldn't sense the power of the stars as clearly as Tang Zheng, but she understood what Tang Zheng meant. That was, if they followed the clues of the power of the stars, they would eventually find Ji Wuxiang.
"This way!" Tang Zheng's gaze swept across the four directions, finally locking onto a direction. He leapt, moving like a fleeing rabbit, in an instant, only leaving behind an afterimage.
The Empyrean Fairy's speed was extremely fast, she caught up to Tang Zheng, walking side by side.
The two of them moved as fast as lightning, passing through the streets and alleys. For ordinary people, it was just a gust of wind, they wouldn't even be able to see their shadows clearly.
"This is the direction out of the city." Tang Zheng pointed ahead.
The chess club was originally located in the bustling city of the capital. After the club was destroyed, Ji Wuxiang actually went out of the city. No wonder his men couldn't find him, he had hidden himself so well.
"How much farther?" The Empyrean Fairy asked.
Tang Zheng felt the power of the stars growing stronger and stronger. This was enough to prove that they weren't far from their target.
"Soon!"
He roared and immediately increased his speed. The Empyrean Fairy wasn't to be outdone.
A continuous mountain range came into view. This was one of the mountain ranges in the suburbs of the capital. However, it had long since been turned into a restricted military zone. Usually, many troops would train here, and ordinary people wouldn't be able to approach.
There was also a military airfield nearby. One could see many fighter jets parked there, and soldiers armed with live ammunition could be seen everywhere, constantly patrolling the military base.
Even a fly wouldn't be able to sneak in without making a sound.
Tang Zheng stopped in his tracks and looked at the base in astonishment. The power of the stars was coming from the base, and it was extremely strong. It was even stronger than the power of the stars that had been activated in the Go Club.
There was no doubt that Celestial Chess was more complete than before.
The Empyrean Fairy looked at the base curiously and asked, "Is the target inside?"
"Yes."
"Then let's go in."
"Use your illusions. Otherwise, we won't be able to sneak in."
The two of them immediately used their illusions and disappeared into the air. They swaggered into the base. Just as they stepped through the gate, the sentries looked ahead and didn't notice the two uninvited guests.
Suddenly, an ear-piercing alarm was heard.
The two of them were startled. They looked around blankly and found a group of soldiers with guns surrounding them. These soldiers were wearing sophisticated equipment that seemed to be able to see through their illusions.
The two of them glanced at each other in shock. This tried and tested illusion had actually failed. These ordinary soldiers were actually able to discover their tracks. This … was too illogical.
Tang Zheng stared at the equipment on the soldiers' heads and said in a flash of inspiration, "Infrared thermal imaging devices."
The Empyrean Fairy was confused. She had never heard of this term before, but she knew that it was definitely some kind of technology.
Tang Zheng's heart sank. It seemed that he had underestimated the power of the military and the use of technology.
Although they had used their illusions to conceal themselves, they couldn't escape the infrared thermal imaging devices. This was because their bodies were still emitting heat and radiating energy, which could be detected by the devices.
"What do we do?" The Empyrean Fairy asked.
"They're just ordinary soldiers. There's no need to take their lives. Let's charge in," Tang Zheng said.
The Empyrean Fairy didn't say anything. She tapped the ground with the tips of her feet and rushed out.
On the infrared thermal imaging devices above the soldiers' heads, only a red light could be seen flashing past before disappearing without a trace.
Tang Zheng did the same. He left the scene as fast as lightning. The soldiers glanced at each other in dismay, not knowing where to go.
However, the alarm went off and an ear-piercing sound resounded throughout the entire base.
Immediately, a black mass of soldiers rushed out and quickly patrolled in all directions. It seemed that they were determined to ferret out the intruders.
In front of them was another mountain peak. It wasn't very eye-catching among the rolling peaks and didn't even have any obvious features or markings. However, the power of the stars in the sky directly descended and sank into the mountain peak.
Seeing Tang Zheng stop again and hear the footsteps of the pursuing soldiers behind him, the Empyrean Fairy asked, "Are you sure this is the place?"
Tang Zheng nodded without hesitation, "There's no doubt about it!"
"That means Ji Wuxiang might be hiding under this mountain peak?"
"Most likely."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's charge in."
"We don't even see the door. How are we going to charge in? Are we going to split this mountain apart?"
This mountain peak was indeed no different from an ordinary mountain peak. It didn't seem like there was another world inside at all. However, Tang Zheng firmly believed that there was something fishy going on.
The Empyrean Fairy said matter-of-factly, "There's nothing wrong with splitting it apart."
Tang Zheng rolled his eyes. His current strength was indeed not bad, but he hadn't reached the level where he could split a mountain apart.
In the underground fortress, the Bureau Chief suddenly turned his head and saw the situation in the base from the huge screen. The ear-piercing alarm made him frown deeply.
However, from the surveillance screen, he couldn't see who the enemy was. There wasn't even a shadow.
It was precisely because of this that he felt like he was facing a great enemy.
