At this moment, Xiao Chen naturally did not know that the person he yearned for day and night had already arrived in the Soaring Dragon Great World.
In Dragon Flame City, where he had stayed for more than half a year, a few days after he had left.
But sometimes, life was just so coincidental.
Xiao Chen had been in Dragon Flame City for eight or nine months, but Liu Ruyue had not come. He had only been gone for three days, and Liu Ruyue came.
Brushing shoulders was like this.
After quietly sneaking into Soaring Dragon City, Xiao Chen spent half an hour and arrived in the vicinity of the princess mansion in the city.
The County Lord's Mansion was built in a grand and majestic manner. It occupied a vast area, and from afar, an invisible and majestic aura lingered above it.
That was the Luck of the dynasty. The Soaring Dragon Marquis was personally conferred a noble title by the Yanwu Dynasty. Furthermore, he was a marquis.
Naturally, with the protection of the dynasty's Luck, the land where his children were enfeoffed would naturally have some Imperial Dragon Clouds.
However, it was not as powerful and obvious as the Soaring Dragon Marquis Manor.
However, those who were observant would be able to sense the dynasty's dragon clouds above the Cluster Lord's Residence.
Even though it was a meager amount, it was still enough to make one tremble with fear.
Any major character who saw this formless Dragon Providence would give them some face and not barge in.
As for the weaker characters, such as Holy Venerates and Sovereign Personages, they did not dare to act rashly.
But today, Xiao Chen was angry. On his way here, he was intercepted for no reason.
He almost died, but he couldn't vent his anger or calm down.
If he didn't get to the bottom of this, he would naturally feel indignant.
If there was an opportunity to sneak into the County Lord's Residence, he would definitely not let it go.
Although he was angry, Xiao Chen was still cautious and did not act rashly.
Just observing from afar, he didn't dare to approach rashly.
That was because for many experts, even if you were a hundred miles away, just a glance would be sensed by others.
There must be such a person in the Princess's Mansion.
However, Xiao Chen was just a Rank 1 Major Primal Core Venerate. The other party would not have imagined that a Venerate would dare to make a move on the Cluster Lord's Residence.
Even if he did, he wouldn't care and would just ignore it.
It was just like how an elephant would not care about an ant's opinion.
However, this was precisely Xiao Chen's advantage. It was also the reason why he dared to fight.
Xiao Chen sighed inwardly as he looked around in every direction. The princess's residence was indeed heavily guarded.
Just the formations alone were stacked on top of one another, and no one knew how many there were.
What was even more difficult to say was that there were experts overseeing every important road, and there was a large number of guards patrolling back and forth. There were no blind spots.
In addition to the hired mercenaries, the experts of the County Lord's Mansion were stronger than most of the Fourth Grade Sects.
Are there no blind spots?
Xiao Chen did not believe it. The Heavenly Insight Divine Eye flew out from his glabella.
The God's Eye hung high in the sky, overlooking the entire princess' residence, except for a few places hidden by special maze formations. Every flower, every blade of grass, every detail was clearly seen by Xiao Chen.
He didn't need to explore any secret places, he just needed to see if there were any flaws in the defense.
Or, it would be better to choose the place with the least risk.
He could clearly see that there were many experts guarding the important places in the Cluster Lord's Residence.
Some of the outer areas were only patrolled by ordinary guards, but they were all set up with formations.
If Xiao Chen barged in, he would immediately trigger the formations and be discovered. Then, he would raise the alarm and get caught by the many experts.
No formation could be perfect and flawless.
Naturally, the formations laid by the Cluster Lord's Residence had gaps. However, it was made up of layers of formations that were stacked on top of each other, and several formations were constantly revolving.
If the first layer had a gap, the second layer would patch it up. If the second layer had a gap, the third layer would patch it up.
So on and so forth, there were a total of eighteen formations layered over each other.
Xiao Chen made a quick count. As long as he broke through nine formations, he would be able to enter safely.
Xiao Chen was not proficient in the Formation Dao. However, he was proficient in the Dragon Seeking Art and had some accomplishments in geomancy.
He could see many clues from the many decorations in the Cluster Lord's Residence — the fake mountains, pavilions, pavilions, and winding corridors.
Many of the seemingly ordinary buildings were the nodes of the formations.
Using the Heavenly Insight, Xiao Chen saw everything.
Then, he used the Dragon Seeking Art in the Paradise Secret Canon and continuously calculated for four hours.
After spending a lot of energy, Xiao Chen finally figured out some patterns, gaining some confidence.
Withdraw!
The Heavenly Eye returned to Xiao Chen's forehead. His eyes hurt slightly, so he closed them and rested for a while.
The instant he opened his eyes, he gently pushed off with his feet and withdrew his aura. Then, he soared into the air and flew towards the Cluster Lord's Residence.
This looked crazy and impossible.
However, in reality, he was just a mere Major Primal Core Venerate. He did not have much of a presence near the Cluster Lord's Residence.
Even if someone sensed him, they would not care too much.
Furthermore, Xiao Chen had purposely chosen this direction, a rather remote corner.
First layer!
Xiao Chen's body swayed gently, and he successfully broke through the gap in the first layer of formations without causing any strange activity.
Second layer, breakthrough!
Third layer, breakthrough!
Relying on the countless simulations in his mind, Xiao Chen made his way to the eighth layer.
However, when he reached the ninth layer, he suddenly discovered that the ninth layer started to reverse.
Damn it! Xiao Chen cursed in his heart. Then, he had no choice but to forcefully land.
This landing node was not good. The moment he landed, a patrolling team arrived not far away.
If Xiao Chen cleared the ninth layer, he could land in a deserted place.
"Who is it?!"
The leader of that team of guards immediately shouted when he saw Xiao Chen appear.
Xiao Chen's face sank. He quickly turned around and said coldly, "Who gave you the courage to speak to me with such an attitude? Even your Cluster Lord does not dare to do this."
Dressed in white, this leader stood out from the crowd. His hair alternated between black and white, giving him a cold and aloof air.
As Xiao Chen spoke, he spread out some of his will of soul. The strong aura instantly weakened the aura of that Major Primal Core Venerate captain of the guards.
There were many guards in the Cluster Lord's Residence. Most of the captains were at this level.
The true experts were all guarding secret places or special checkpoints.
Furthermore, the guests that the Cluster Lord's Residence hired were people of high status. They would not use their talents to patrol.
Normally, the guards would sound the alarm after discovering an uninvited guest. Only then would the experts of the Cluster Lord's Residence be startled.
Xiao Chen's actions immediately shocked this group of guards.
They did not sound the alarm. They did not expect that someone who was not even a Star Venerate would dare to barge into the Cluster Lord's Residence.
They subconsciously treated Xiao Chen as the Cluster Lord's honored guest or an outstanding young talent that the Cluster Lord fancied, wanting to nurture him and send him to the Marquis's Residence in the future.
There were many such outstanding young talents in the Cluster Lord's Residence. Xiao Chen fulfilled all the requirements.
Xiao Chen retorted coldly, "Why are you making such a fuss? Do you think that I'm an assassin?"
That person felt somewhat embarrassed by Xiao Chen's reprimand. "I do not dare."
Indeed, how could there be a Major Primal Core Venerate assassin? That would be a joke.
This time, I'm really unlucky.
Xiao Chen stepped forward and said indifferently, "Someone, come out. Bring me to Cooling Heart Lake."
When that guard captain heard that, he relaxed. Cooling Heart Lake was an important place in the depths of the Cluster Lord's Residence. Outsiders would not know about it.
This white-clad bladesman should have just arrived at the Cluster Lord's Residence and lost his way.
He hurriedly nodded in agreement and called out someone to lead the way for Xiao Chen.
However, in reality, Xiao Chen's Heavenly Eye had already seen the Cooling Heart Lake from outside.
His strong state of mind allowed Xiao Chen's expression to remain calm. Even after the group of guards left, his expression did not change.
Along the way, he casually chatted with the guard who was leading the way.
To his surprise, Xiao Chen learned that Countess Gou Yu was currently meeting with an honored guest from the Soaring Dragon County. These guards had no idea who this mysterious person was, but judging from his demeanor, his status was definitely incomparably noble.
"Young Master, the Cooling Heart Lake is not far from here. I still have a mission to complete, so I won't be able to send you off personally."
The guard said respectfully.
Xiao Chen nodded and gestured for him to leave.
It was very troublesome to enter, but after entering, Xiao Chen was quite relaxed.
Because basically, no one paid attention to him or suspected him.
There were even people who would kiss and nod their heads to greet him.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen looked around and saw a familiar face in the County Lord's Mansion.
It's her …
Xiao Chen's gaze immediately turned somewhat gloomy. No wonder. Everything makes sense now.
