"It seems that the Huiyu Formation-Breaking Team paid a price, but they didn't suffer a devastating blow."
Xie Hong let out a long sigh. As the main city of the 20 great formation-breaking teams, Huiyu City's defenses were definitely shocking.
Furthermore, such a large city would have defensive formations from the ancient times.
Based on this, it must have been a King level ancient beast that attacked this city. Otherwise, the city would've been destroyed so thoroughly.
A single King Beast could destroy a super city. There was no safety to speak of in the current small immortal realm.
The group rested for a period of time in a relatively intact palace, ate some food, and recovered a portion of their strength before leaving Huiyu City.
The group continued on their way to the Blood Eagle Formation-Breaking Team's main base.
For safety reasons, there were many King Beasts flying in the sky, so the group flew for a while and ran for a while.
Chu Chen discovered that many of the small cities and bases they passed along the way had been reduced to ruins, exuding a strong sense of sadness.
However, along the way, everyone discovered a strange pattern.
That was, many of the cities, palaces, lofts, and other buildings built by humans had been destroyed beyond recognition.
On the other hand, some natural caves, hills, and forests were protected to a higher degree.
In other words, these King Beasts deliberately attacked human bases after arriving in the small immortal realm.
They were indeed here to destroy!
After another day of hurrying, Lan Xuan found a cave in a barren mountain. The entrance was extremely well hidden, but the space inside was huge. There were stone tables, stone chairs, stone stools, stone beds, and everything else. There was even a stove and a pool.
The cultivators entered. It would appear that this was a refuge. However, the large patches of dark-red bloodstains on the ground were a ghastly sight.
There had clearly been a fierce massacre here!
However, along the way, the group looked for temporary shelters to rest. They'd seen similar traces of battle and killing before.
"How long will it take to reach the main base in the deepest part?"
Shi Yuyan, who'd recovered half of her injuries, sat cross-legged on a stone platform. The other cultivators were mostly busy, either cleaning the cave or preparing food with Xuan Ke.
Chu Chen glanced at Xie Hong, who was also injured and resting at the side.
"That's hard to say. Under normal circumstances, we should be able to reach it in about a month. But now that we're taking longer to travel, and the King Beast is running amok, we're probably using twice as much speed as before."
Xie Hong sighed softly.
"With so many King Beast descending, being able to survive in the Small Celestial Realm is already something worth celebrating. It doesn't matter if we travel faster or slower."
Zhou Lin, who was carrying a bucket of water, came to the front of the crowd and prepared to wipe off the bloodstains on the stone wall.
"That's true. Right now, I just hope that nothing happens. I don't care about anything else."
The girl's words touched Xie Hong, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions.
"Don't let anything happen. It's too difficult …"
Chu Chen suddenly sighed faintly and stood up from the stone bench.
"What's wrong …" Shi Yuyan's expression suddenly changed and her eyes darkened. "Someone's coming!"
Xie Hong and Lan Xuan followed Chu Chen out of the cave.
In this barren mountain range, the cultivators all followed Chu Chen's gaze and looked toward the southern horizon.
In the distant horizon, a dazzling spot of light suddenly appeared in the sky.
It was so bright and resplendent that it seemed like a small sun had suddenly appeared on the horizon. Then, it suddenly grew bigger and brighter.
At the same time, a tremendous pressure came crashing down from the sky, causing everyone to feel suffocated!
"What's bound to come will come," Chu Chen said coolly.
Chu Chen said faintly. The feeling of being spied on him and the other cultivators in the sky was not an illusion. It was because the enemy was too strong that he could not capture it clearly and was not sure.
And now, that terrifying enemy had come.
"Kid, I've always wondered when we'd meet again. I didn't expect it to be so soon."
The bright light fell from the sky and heavily smashed into the ground with a boom.
It landed on the peak of a barren mountain in front of the cave. The entire ground shook violently in an instant. In the next second, the light on the opposite mountain peak gradually dissipated, and the silhouette of the person slowly appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"You're clearly being chased by a dog. Why are you still pretending to meet by chance? Are all Heavenly River cultivators as hypocritical as you?"
Chu Chen said coldly.
At that moment, the light dissipated, and everyone saw a slender figure walk out of the bright flame.
The person who came was a cultivator who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old. His hair and eyebrows were pure white like snow. He wore a white robe, and even his pupils emitted a dazzling white light.
This person was handsome, but his face was extremely pale, as if he had been suffering from a serious illness for a long time. His thin and weak figure, in his white robe, set off by the morning breeze, made him look like an elegant and sickly scholar.
However, this sickly scholar had an aura that suppressed the heavens and the earth.
He also carried an ancient sword on his back.
The blade and hilt of the ancient sword looked like they were cast from some kind of pure white stone, and they emitted a strong ancient aura.
The person who came was one of the leaders of the Golden Lion Formation Breaking Team, a Heavenly River swordsman in white!
Last time, Chu Chen had used the Purple Cloud Heavenly Wind to escape from under his nose. This time, he had clearly come prepared.
"When you're cut into pieces, I wonder if you can still be so sharp-tongued?"
Two rays of divine light flashed from the eyes of the white-robed swordsman's haggard face, and killing intent burst forth.
Standing on the mountain peak, he was actually still three kilometers away from everyone, but the killing intent he emitted had already completely enveloped all the cultivators.
"Before we start, I have a question."
Chu Chen asked loudly.
"Speak."
The white-robed swordsman on the other side of the mountain peak spoke very softly, but every cultivator heard him.
"We've been separated for so long. At that time, I also used my spiritual sense to clean up the traces on my body. If you left a tracking mark, it should have been erased by me."
Chu Chen's eyes flickered.
"I'm also very surprised that you were able to erase the spiritual mark I left on your body. However, there are so many people in the Blood Eagle Regiment. Can you clean up the spiritual marks on everyone's body?"
The white-robed swordsman sneered and looked at Xie Hong and the black-robed youth beside him, Li Zheng.
Chu Chen suddenly realized that the white-robed swordsman had planted spiritual marks on the two guides and followed them all the way here.
"I planted spiritual sense seeds on these two people. After you meet up with them, you naturally won't be able to escape my control," the white-robed swordsman said slowly.
Xie Hong and the black-robed youth were still at a loss because they didn't remember seeing the white-robed swordsman along the way. They couldn't remember where he had done something to them.
The white-robed swordsman, Yuwen Guang, naturally wouldn't tell them that he had hidden in the storm and secretly done it.
