Less than ten thousand kilometers away from the mountain where Fang Xing was hiding, there was an empty palace in White Emperor City at the edge of the central region. There were several people sitting cross-legged in an empty palace. These people all had extraordinary auras and profound cultivation bases. The patterns on their robes were all different. If someone recognized them, they would definitely be shocked. These people were actually influential figures of their respective orthodoxies and aristocratic families. Although they were not patriarchs, they were basically people who were below the patriarchs and had extraordinary status. Any one of them was an important figure who could gather the attention of the entire Divine Prefecture.
Simply put, they were all famous figures in the cultivation world of the Divine Prefecture, but now they were gathered together. In front of them, there were all kinds of magic treasures and other things. They held their breath and looked solemn, as if they were planning something big.
In the middle of the hall, there was a handsome man in a green robe. He was looking at a map in front of him. The map was enshrouded in Spiritual Qi and was filled with mountains and rivers. Upon closer inspection, there were even extremely tiny human figures on the map. They were lifelike and very agile. They were all images of living people. It was the most precious treasure of Fuyao Palace, the Mountain River Map. It could be used to push the Xuan Coffin, but it was used to push a person.
To his right was a man in metal armor. His eyes were like bronze bells, and he gave off a baleful aura. He stared at the huge bronze compass in front of him without blinking at all. He seemed to be searching for some sort of clue among the countless runes on the compass.
In the corner of the hall, there was a middle-aged man in a white robe sitting cross-legged. In front of him were a few simple tortoiseshells, which were used for divination.
In front of the window, there was a woman, quietly looking out of the window, standing against the wind.
On the right side of the hall, there was an old man with white hair and beard. He stood in front of a huge bookshelf, which was densely packed with scrolls. On each scroll, there was a piece of information. It was written about the year, month, and time, and where Fang Xing or someone who was suspected to be Fang Xing would appear. All the scrolls represented a piece of information, and these countless pieces of information weaved into an incomparably huge net …
The hall was quiet, and no one spoke for a long time.
"Hehe. If it is spread out that we have gathered together just to deal with a little monkey who has just advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage, I wonder if anyone will believe it. If they do, will they laugh their heads off and ruin our reputation?" "Hehe.
After a long time, someone suddenly spoke softly as if he was mocking himself.
"They will. Anyone who knows that the three masters of the Yuan family, Yuan Shaomo, Lady Xuan of the Fu Yao Palace, Bu Jizi of the Tian Ji Palace, Han Jianxiao of the Han family, Lin Danchen of the Small Immortal World of the Separation Hatred World, and Meng Yunzhe of the Meng family have gathered together just to calculate the location of a little monkey. Everyone will laugh their heads off …" Lady Xuan, who was standing by the window, said faintly.
"Haha, the mastermind has sent us out. What else can we care about? If we can't take down this little monkey, where will the dignity of China be? Today, the world has already said that the little devil is a great figure who single-handedly fought against the Divine Continent. Everyone is waiting to see the result. If we can't even take him down, then in the eyes of others, the Divine Continent has lost this battle … "
Their indifferent words revealed their unwillingness and absurdity. It seemed that even at this moment, they could not believe that with their identity and status, they would be sent to deal with a junior who had just advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage. Moreover, they were sent to join forces with people of similar status from several major orthodoxies. This matter in itself was extremely inconceivable and ridiculous.
"When we gathered together, the Divine Continent had already lost!"
After a long time, someone spoke. Her voice was indifferent. It was Lady Xuan of the Fu Yao Palace.
Until now, she still felt as if she was in a dream. It seemed that she could not believe that the little monkey, who had almost been smashed into meat paste by her because of a mistake, would now challenge the Divine Continent and have her and Zhu Xiu join forces to deal with him …
"Haha, why do we have to praise him?"
The atmosphere in the palace was slightly awkward. It was Han Jianxiao of the Han Clan who broke the silence and said with a sneer, "That little devil is good at stirring up trouble, but he doesn't necessarily have much ability. If we were to fight head-on, I'm afraid that any one of us here would be able to suppress him. It's just that he's too cunning, and he's cultivated a technique to conceal his aura. That's why we've been unable to catch him time and time again. Now that we've joined forces, it's to lay a big net that he can't escape from. As long as we trap him to death, it'll be easy to capture him.
What's so difficult about that? "The Third Master of the Han Clan, Han Shaomo, smiled and said," That's right, we've joined forces to find out where he is just to capture him as soon as possible. That rascal's advantage is that he's slippery, and his strategy of creating a diversion is very ingenious. If we follow his shadow, it'll be difficult even for our ancestors to catch him. But now that we've borrowed the Mounts and Rivers of the Gods of the Gods of the North Sea, we can advance step by step. We also have the bronze compass that we borrowed from the North Sea Clan. As long as that little devil is a hundred miles away from us, no matter how good his concealment technique is, we'll still be able to pinpoint his location. Usually, Fellow Daoist Bu Jizi of the Tianji Palace will be leading forty-nine Tianji Palace disciples to conceal his aura at all times. No matter how good his concealment technique is, he can't always use it. There will always be times when we catch a trace or two of his aura, and the encirclement will gradually shrink … "
He spoke quietly, but he was full of confidence. He clenched his fist and sneered, "… Even if he escapes, where can he escape to?"
Hearing his words, even though they knew that he was speaking the truth, everyone smiled, and no one answered him. After a long while, Han Jianxiao of the Han Family suddenly smiled and said, "The Yuan Family is indeed a place that produces geniuses, it can be seen that they are blessed with great fortune. Seven hundred years ago, in the golden generation that dominated the Divine Prefecture, not only did they produce the nine sons of the Yuan Family, they also produced the Seven Slaying Freak. This generation is also extraordinary, there are eighteen sons in the Yuan Family, not only is there a good seedling like Fu Su, they also brought one back from the outside, who is also a little demon with great abilities …"
"Haha …"
A few people sneered but did not reply. They could all hear the sarcasm in Han Jianxiao's words.
The atmosphere was a little awkward. Yuan Shaomo's heart tightened and he was secretly angry. He knew the reason for this. Although he had joined forces with the people of the orthodoxies to investigate the whereabouts of that evil creature, and the Yuan family had also contributed money and effort in this matter, showing their sincerity, these people still did not take it seriously. After all, that evil creature came from the Yuan family. In their eyes, the Yuan family was responsible for this disaster, and even had to bear the main responsibility. Therefore, no matter how much the Yuan family had done, they always felt that it was not enough, and they were somewhat cynical.
In the hearts of the Yuan family, they felt that it was the idea of the orthodoxies to hand that evil creature over as a scapegoat. The Yuan family had already done as they were told. That evil creature was quite capable and managed to escape. The Yuan family was the one who suffered the most. How could they blame it on them now?
Of course, he could not bring himself to say this. He could only swallow his anger.
"Haha, let's cut to the chase. That little Fang Xing's current whereabouts should be in the White Jade Region of the Southern Region, right?"
At this moment, it was his fiancée, Lady Xuan, who spoke softly and helped Yuan Shaomo out of the predicament.
Yuan Shaomo also took the opportunity to change the topic. He turned his head to look at the Map of Mounts and Rivers of the Gods of Earth and Vale. With a light tap, the treasure map that enveloped the vast Divine Land zoomed in rapidly. On it, faint black smoke appeared. It was the traces of Fang Xing that occasionally revealed his Qi activity. On the map, one could roughly see where he was moving, and then use this to deduce where he was. It seemed that his whereabouts were strange and unpredictable, but in general, he was heading towards the south of the Divine Land.
Looking at the route formed by the black smoke on the map, Yuan Shaomo's eyes flashed. "This evil creature is not stupid. He should know that he has caused too much trouble in the Divine Land, so he plans to slip away. Nan Zhan can't protect him, and the Small Fairy Realm of the Demon Land has sealed his way out. It seems that he wants to escape to the Devil Province. Haha, he probably wants to seek refuge in the North Deep Clan. Unfortunately … he's still too naive …"
As he spoke, he looked at the bronze compass, gritted his teeth, and laughed.
"He's still too naive. Does this little devil really think that the North Deep can protect him?"
Although they had to pay a price, the North Deep had already shown that they were not willing to be enemies with the Small Fairy Realm by lending the bronze compass!
"Three more times … No, one more time, the little devil will leak his whereabouts, and we can seal the encirclement to the minimum …"
Han Jianxiao's eyes were also cold as he whispered.
Zhu Xiu was silent for a while, but he was also looking forward to it.
After playing cat and mouse for so long, they really wanted to see the expression of the little devil when they cornered him in a corner.
Things seemed to be going surprisingly smoothly. Just as he finished speaking, Bu Jizi of the Tianji Palace, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said in a low voice, "I've got it …" After saying that, he waved his hand, and two jade talismans floated in from outside the palace. He reached out and grabbed them. Then he scanned them with his Divine Thought, deciphered the contents of the jade talismans, and quickly read out two directions.
Lady Xuan of the Fuyao Palace frowned. According to the directions he said, her finger quickly tapped twice on the Mountain River Map. Soon, there were two new black dots on the route made up of black smoke. They both landed in the deep mountains west of Baek Ok-Kyung. They connected with the black dots in front of them and formed an arrow, pointing straight to the sea south of Baek Ok-Kyung.
"That little devil really wants to cross the South Sea and go to the Devil Province!"
Han Jianxiao saw the arrow, his eyes narrowed, and he shouted in a low voice.
Yuan Shaomo's eyes showed a hint of joy. He laughed in a low voice and said, "He's courting death!"
That devil didn't escape to the left or right. He actually fled to the area around Baek Ok-Kyung. In front of him was the Devil's Abyss, which spanned across the southern region of the Divine Province. At this time, the Mysterious Coffin had descended on the Devil's Abyss. Most of the millions of Devil's Abyss were covered by the Mysterious Coffin. Yuanying cultivators entered it, and it was dangerous at every step. If the little devil wanted to go west to the Devil Province, he could only cross the South Sea and go around the Devil's Abyss.
On the Mountain River Map, this route had been fixed. As long as they went to the sea, they would definitely be able to capture him.
"My friends, let's not delay any longer. Let's go!"
Yuan Shaomo was the first to make a decision. He quickly issued a decree and ordered the Yuan family to surround the area. Then, he and the other experts flew out of the palace at the same time. Seven rays of divine light swept out of White Emperor City, whistling horribly, and headed straight for Tiannan …
The Divine Province orthodoxy, which had been silent for a long time, had officially launched its attack!
