These people were also very efficient, and the cultivators from various sects quickly gathered at the Shennong Pavilion.
Although Wang Daoyuan did not dare to use his Divine Sense to investigate, he could see cultivators coming and going with his naked eye.
In the Shennong Pavilion, Mo Ao carefully sniffed the scent of each cultivator.
He quickly sniffed everyone's scent and transmitted his voice to his master again.
Mo Ao cupped his hands at the few Yuanying cultivators and said, "Seniors, the person who stole the spiritual medicine is not here."
The cultivator from the Alioth Sword Sect said, "In that case, let them patrol the Sky Palace first to prevent that thief from attacking again.
Let's follow Mo Ao's Little Friend and walk around the palace wall to prevent that person from mixing in with the cultivators on duty. "
No one had any objections. The cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core Realm and the early stage of the Yuanying Realm began to patrol around.
The cultivators at the late stage of the Yuanying Realm led Mo Ao to the east gate.
Wang Daoyuan's position was not far from the east palace wall.
Soon, he saw a cultivator leading a black dog on the wall. Accompanied by a few old cultivators, they were sniffing the scent of the cultivators on duty.
He knew that things were not good. Canine spirit beasts had a keen sense of smell, and they had probably smelled his scent.
He was still too close to the palace wall. Although he had tried his best to conceal his scent, it was impossible to conceal it no matter what method he used.
If he was discovered by the black dog, he would be in big trouble.
He got up and walked to the west, trying to avoid this person.
The best way to avoid being tracked by scent was to enter the water.
If he stayed in the water, even if some of his scent was exposed, it would be diluted by the water.
Humans could not conceal all scents, and spirit beasts could not smell all scents.
As long as the scent was faint enough, it would not be a problem to hide from the black dog.
He found a place by the Jade River where the water flow was faster and entered the water.
In such a place, scents dissipated quickly, and the movement caused by entering the water was not obvious.
Taking advantage of the fact that the patrollers were far away, he quickly entered the water and was not discovered.
Foundation Establishment cultivators could hide in the water for a few days, let alone Yuanying cultivators.
As long as he was not discovered within three days, everything would be fine.
Although the palace walls of the Seven Stars Heavenly Palace were especially long, there weren't many people, so they were quickly checked.
The cultivator of the Divine Pill Sect said angrily, "What the hell? All the cultivators in the Heavenly Palace have been checked, but there is still nothing.
Could it be that someone left the Seven Stars Heavenly Palace and then quietly came back to pick spiritual herbs? "
The Alioth Sword Sect cultivator frowned slightly. "There's no point in stealing some immature spiritual herbs.
There was no need to expend so much effort unless there was another purpose.
Could it be that someone is deliberately instigating a war between the Seven Stars Alliance and Blood Shark so that they can benefit from it? "
After he finished speaking, he intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the Wen Clan cultivators.
The cultivator from the Wen Family wasn't happy. "True Monarch Lifeless, are you saying that the cultivators from Mystic Island are interfering?
Why don't I summon all the cultivators from Mystic Island and let this mastiff smell them?
My Wen Family is the overlord of Mystic Island, and the previous family head did intend to reach into the Sea Of Seven Stars.
In these recent years, you all know about my Wen Family, we won't be able to interfere with the affairs of the Sea Of Seven Stars in the next one or two thousand years. "
The muscular cultivator continued, "The people we brought in didn't have any hidden powerful cultivators.
I think it's most likely a rogue cultivator.
After all, all of us have these spiritual herbs, there's no need to spend so much effort to steal them.
If it's a rogue cultivator who didn't have much outside and wanted to take the risk, then it makes sense.
In the last few days, our cultivators on guard were a bit lax, and he managed to sneak in.
He saw that there were no mature spiritual herbs in the spiritual fields, so he picked some spiritual herb sprouts. "
The Wen Family cultivator nodded. "According to what the mastiff smelled, this person stood near the east gate for a while.
At that time, we should have strengthened our defenses.
There were no changes in the various formations, so this person shouldn't have escaped.
Also, he shouldn't be too strong.
Otherwise, he would have forced his way out.
Since he's still in the Heavenly Palace and isn't strong, let's spread out and guard the entrances.
No matter how good he is at hiding, he won't dare to move around in front of our people.
Then, we'll take the mastiff and search bit by bit.
We can't burrow into the ground in the Heavenly Palace, so no matter how strong he is, he can't hide forever. "
No one had any objections. The early-stage Yuanying cultivators and Golden Core cultivators spread out and set up surveillance formations on the various paths.
The mid-stage Yuanying cultivators guarded the formations on the palace walls, while the late-stage Yuanying cultivators brought Mo Zhao and the mastiff to slowly search the entire Heavenly Palace.
After a day, the entire Heavenly Palace was searched, but there was still nothing.
Everyone started to mutter. The Wen Family cultivator asked, "Little Friend Mo Zhao, is there any limit to your spirit beast's ability to detect the opponent's aura?"
Mo Zhao didn't hide anything. "Senior, the mastiff can't detect the aura in the water."
Upon hearing this, the Lifeless True Lord quickly said, "That's right, this person must be hiding in the water.
There are only a few spirit springs, a Jade River, and a Xuanwu Lake in the entire Heavenly Palace.
The Xuanwu Lake is connected to the outside world and is protected by a formation. There's no way out.
There are still two days left. Let's search the Jade River. "
Time was tight, so everyone was very decisive.
They sent people to set up formations on both sides of the Jade River. Then, starting from the Xuanwu Lake downstream, they continuously cast spells to attack the water.
Wang Daoyuan also noticed the movements of these big forces. The Jade River was only about a hundred miles long, so it wouldn't take long to search it.
Instead of waiting for death here, it was better to take a gamble.
He would find a place far away from the Xuanwu Lake and force his way through the city gate.
With this idea in mind, he used the Cloud Escape and blended into the water, quickly swimming against the current.
Soon, he arrived near the source of the Jade River, which was very close to the western palace wall.
There was an early-stage Yuanying cultivator guarding the shore, and two mid-stage Yuanying cultivators on the palace wall, as well as a defensive formation.
It would be very difficult to force his way out.
However, there was no other way now. When the late-stage Yuanying cultivators came to investigate, it would be impossible to force his way out.
He quietly went ashore near the source of the river, which was surrounded by warning formations.
He didn't have time to care about these now, so he ran directly toward the western palace wall.
The White Tiger Blade in his dantian was already filled with sword Qi and sword intent. It was ready to attack at any time.
After running a few steps, he entered the formation. The surrounding Yuanying cultivators were alarmed.
A silver light slashed toward Wang Daoyuan. This was the attack of a late-stage Yuanying cultivator.
It seemed that this group of people had been prepared. They had left a late-stage Yuanying cultivator here to ambush him.
Wang Daoyuan didn't dare to take it head-on. He used the Cloud Escape and fled to the side.
With the Black Devil's Robe on him, the opponent couldn't lock onto him, so dodging wasn't a big problem.
The attack didn't hit him, but it broke the surveillance formation on the riverbank.
Taking advantage of the broken formation, Wang Daoyuan hurriedly fled in the southeast direction.
The Seven Stars Heavenly Palace wasn't big, but it wasn't small either.
There were also many defensive formations around the palace. These formations that were set up by the major factions couldn't cover the entire Heavenly Palace. There were bound to be many loopholes.
As soon as his whereabouts were exposed, the cultivators on the other side of Xuanwu Lake didn't care about the fish and rushed over.
The cultivators stationed in various places also began to gather in the direction he fled.
Wang Daoyuan didn't dare to fight with the cultivators blocking his way. He could only constantly change directions to avoid detection.
Suddenly, he felt something familiar and frightening in front of him.
This feeling was very familiar. It was the same feeling he had in Beiyuan's Demon Resisting Mountain and the Heaven Ending Abyss.
He had relied on this thing to successfully condense the Guiyuan Sword Intent.
The things stored in the Heavenly Palace should also be related to the Guiyuan Sword Intent.
Regardless of whether it was a way out or not, even if he couldn't escape, he could use this power to resist for a while.
The longer he delayed, the more hope he had.
Soon, he arrived in front of a very tall and majestic hall. The words "Ziwei Hall" were written on the plaque in front of the hall.
