The banquet lasted for four hours before it ended. At this moment, it was already late. Everyone in Soulgate went back to cultivate. In the palace of Soulgate, the stone pillars were burning, illuminating the entire Soulgate.
Xiao Chen and the others gathered in the main hall. All of them looked serious.
"Blood Witch, if you have something to say, just say it," Xiao Chen looked at Blood Witch and said.
"Before the banquet, I sensed Duan Tianfeng's aura in the pavilion next to the Alchemy Palace. Although he hid it quickly, I still sensed it. He's at the Middle-stage of the Combination Realm. I don't know what he's plotting," Blood Witch said with a serious expression.
"Duan Tianfeng? That guy came out of seclusion? "Annihilation was shocked.
"He's at the Middle-stage of the Combination Realm. That guy's cultivation speed is really amazing. It seems that he has already refined the blood essence of a Tribulation Realm cultivator." Mu Yunshan frowned. His eyes flashed with shock.
"Duan Tianfeng has a magic treasure that can hide his aura. If he wanted to hide, no one would be able to sense it. However, Blood Witch sensed it. I guess he did it on purpose so that you could come back and report." Xiao Chen frowned slightly.
After a pause, Xiao Chen continued, "But he has no reason to do so. Since he came out of seclusion, he would definitely come to find me. However, he didn't do that. Instead, he asked Blood Witch to come back and report. This is to make us vigilant. Do you think Duan Tianfeng will be so kind?"
"Xiao Chen is right. That guy definitely won't be so kind. But what is he trying to do?" You Ming asked doubtfully.
"If Old Man's guess is right, Duan Tianfeng did this on purpose to make us focus on the Wuji Sect. Since he didn't come out, perhaps he's going to help Jiang Li and the others," Han You said slowly.
"That's right! I agree with Senior Hanyou's words. Duan Tianfeng doesn't want us to get involved. He's afraid that we'll ruin the Boundless Sect's plan. They're probably looking for Spiritual Master Ghost Flame! "Xiao Chen nodded in agreement.
"Duan Tianfeng doesn't know that we know about Spiritual Master Ghost Flame. Since that's the case, we'll beat him at his own game. After all, Gui Tu and Xiao Tian are already secretly monitoring Jiang Li and the others. If we don't make a move, if Spiritual Master Ghost Flame is still alive, then they'll be digging their own graves," Blood Witch said.
"Not a bad idea! We'll do as Blood Witch said and beat them at their own game. We'll bide our time and immediately send a message to Gui Tu and Xiao Tian. Don't act rashly and alert the enemy. We'll just sit back and reap the benefits! "Xiao Chen sneered with a sinister look.
"Xiao Chen, Duan Tianfeng's cultivation is higher than yours. With his reputation as a genius, he's definitely stronger than Qi Yang. You have to be careful." Blood Witch warned. After the previous battle between Xiao Chen and Qi Yang, Blood Witch could see that in terms of strength, even if Xiao Chen activated the power of the God's Blood, he could only contend with Qi Yang. He couldn't contend with the current Duan Tianfeng.
Xiao Chen nodded and said, "I know. I'll be careful. Don't worry. I'm about to break through to the Form Synthesis Stage. When that time comes, dealing with Duan Tianfeng will be a piece of cake."
"By the way, Blood Witch, where are Mu Qing and Oriental Snow?" Xiao Chen looked at Blood Witch and asked, as if he was worried that they would start fighting again if no one was watching over them.
"I've already asked them to go back and think about it. You don't have to worry about that. However, what happens in the future is up to you," Blood Witch said with a smile.
"Reporting to Sect Leader! Big Brother Gui Tu is back! "At this time, a Soulgate companion came in and reported.
"Oh? Gui Tu is back? Seems like there's some good news! "Mu Yunshan couldn't help but smile happily.
Annihilation smiled happily and said, "I hope Gui Tu can bring back good news."
"I'm relieved that Gui Tu can come back safely!" Xiao Chen said. Previously, Gui Tu had been gone for more than a month, which made Xiao Chen a little worried. Now that he heard that Gui Tu was back, he was finally relieved.
After a while, a black shadow rushed into the main hall. Afterimages appeared one after another. It was Gui Tu!
"Gui Tu, how was it? What's the good news? "Annihilation asked hurriedly.
Hearing this, Gui Tu chuckled and didn't answer directly. Instead, he smiled and said, "Hehe, guess what kind of information I've gathered."
"Seeing how happy you are, it seems like the information is pretty good. Don't keep us in suspense. Tell us about it." Xiao Chen smiled. Seeing Gui Tu's happy expression, he guessed that there was good news.
"Gui Tu, did you find out about Spiritual Master Gui Yan?" You Ming asked hurriedly.
Gui Tu shook his head and smiled, "No!"
"Then what did you find out?" Ling Zhan asked curiously. It must be very important information. Otherwise, Gui Tu wouldn't be so excited.
"Hehe, let me tell you. Duan Feng has already come out of seclusion. I'm sure you all know that. The people Duan Feng and the others are following are the nine Venerables under Old Monster Bei Ming! The guy who fought with Xiao Chen in the Divine Tree is called Venerable Feng, and the strongest one is called Venerable Jin! "Gui Tu chuckled.
Hearing this, everyone's expression couldn't help but change. Mu Yunshan frowned and asked, "Venerable Feng? The guy who was almost killed by Xiao Chen? "
Blood Witch couldn't help but frown and ask, "Wait, didn't Xiao Tian and the others send back the information that the Boundless Sect is looking for Spiritual Master Gui Yan? How is it related to Old Monster Bei Ming? "
Gui Tu shook his head and smiled, "We guessed wrong. The Boundless Sect isn't looking for Spiritual Master Gui Yan. They are following the nine Venerables. They are looking for a mysterious place."
"A mysterious place? Where is it? "Xiao Chen asked in confusion. Gui Tu's words completely overturned their previous conjectures.
"I don't know where it is exactly. I only heard from them that it's called the Ancient City. They only know the approximate location, but they haven't found the exact location of the Ancient City. Moreover, they have been searching for it for almost a year. In other words, before Old Monster Bei Ming took control of the Divine Tree, they had already begun searching for the Ancient City. Duan Feng and the others are also searching for the Ancient City." Gui Tu explained.
"The Ancient City? In that case, the Boundless Sect isn't looking for Spiritual Master Gui Yan, but the Ancient City. I'm not surprised that Old Monster Bei Ming and the others know about the Ancient City, but how does the Boundless Sect know about its existence? What is there in the Ancient City that is worth them going through so much trouble? "Xiao Chen was puzzled.
"I learned from Venerable Jin that the Ancient City contains the sealed power of an ancient expert. The reason Old Monster Bei Ming disappeared for so long is to seize the ancient expert's power. The Boundless Sect seems to have known about the Ancient City for a long time. They have been secretly monitoring the nine Venerables since a long time ago. However, they were discovered later and their disciples were killed. Only then did Jiang Li continue investigating. When I returned, I saw Duan Feng and Jiang Li meeting up," Gui Tu continued.
"The ancient expert's power? Didn't Old Monster Bei Ming absorb the Divine Tree's power and recover his peak cultivation? Why would he want the ancient expert's power? Could it be that he wants to ascend to the Immortal World? "Mu Yunshan was puzzled.
Ling Zhan said, "Back then, Old Monster Bei Ming controlled the Divine Tree to destroy the Cultivation World. I believe that his search for the Ancient City isn't as simple as ascending to the Immortal World. With his madness, he will definitely sweep through the Cultivation World before ascending. Otherwise, Old Monster Bei Ming could have directly searched for the Ancient City instead of wasting time on the Divine Tree."
"Ling Zhan is right. That old bastard Bei Ming definitely won't let go of the chance to destroy the Cultivation World. Duan Feng's appearance in Soulgate is indeed to draw our attention to the Boundless Sect so that they can secretly search for the Ancient City. However, they don't know where the Ancient City is, so they can only follow Venerable Feng and the others. Unfortunately, Duan Feng doesn't know that we have so many spies in Soulgate." Xiao Chen sneered with a sinister glint in his eyes.
"Hehe, it's all thanks to the escape technique. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to obtain this information so easily." Gui Tu chuckled.
"Gui Tu, you've done a great job this time. I'll reward you with a piece of candy." Annihilation teased with a smile.
"F * ck you!" Gui Tu scolded with a smile. He even patted Annihilation on the shoulder.
"This way, the situation is very advantageous to us. Old Monster Bei Ming and the Boundless Sect are in the open while we're in the dark. We'll know their movements at all times. In other words, once they discover the Ancient City's specific location, we'll know immediately." Blood Witch smiled.
"Xiao Chen, if we can kill them all when they find the Ancient City, the news of the Ancient City won't be leaked. And only we know the Ancient City's location. Then, the Ancient City will be ours!" Gui Tu said, as if he had already thought about it.
"That's impossible. Do you remember the nine of them we met in the Divine Tree? Their cultivation levels are very terrifying. The strongest guy is at the Crossing Calamity Stage, and there are two of them. Moreover, they have very powerful martial arts. With our strength, we won't be able to stop them. "Mu Yunshan shook his head. Although the idea was good, Soulgate's strength was not enough to do it.
"That's not necessarily true!" Xiao Chen sneered. He looked at Gui Tu with an evil smile and said, "Gui Tu reminded me that this is a very good idea. Although they are powerful, it's not impossible for us. If we can really block the news of the Ancient City, then everything in the Ancient City will belong to Soulgate."
"Xiao Chen, you're not thinking of asking your grandfather and uncle to help, are you?" You Ming guessed.
Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "Grandfather's cultivation has reached the late stage of the Mahayana Realm. We don't know much about the Ancient City, let alone the dangers. I don't want Grandfather to take the risk."
"Then what should we do? How can we block the news? "Gui Tu asked hurriedly. With Xiao Chen's support, Gui Tu was very excited.
"Xiao Chen, you want to use the Endless Devouring Poison?" Blood Witch quickly guessed and asked happily.
"Yes! The Endless Devouring Poison can deal with the Crossing Calamity Stage. Once they absorb the Endless Devouring Poison, we can destroy them before they spread the news. "Xiao Chen sneered with a ruthless look in his eyes.
"Xiao Chen, I used the Endless Devouring Poison last time in the Wuji Sect. I only have two bottles left. Is two bottles enough?" Annihilation asked.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "It's enough. The Endless Devouring Poison can only deal with Venerable Feng and the others. As for the Wuji Sect, I still have the Carnivorous Ants' poison."
