An old man with a long beard sat cross-legged on a stone platform, looking at the stars in the sky without saying a word.
Beside him, the blond-haired, blue-eyed Alwar said, "They've split up. There are eight groups in total. My doppelganger can't split up again. I can only follow one group at most. "
"Is Ghost Cry here too?" The old man with a long beard asked, his voice extremely hoarse.
Alwar seemed to be used to it. He replied, "He's in the weakest group."
"Follow Jing Chengtian. He's the biggest threat to Master. I'll keep draining his psionic energy." The old man with a long beard closed his eyes. "Leave the others to Fishy Wind."
...
Zuo Zhicheng and his team of six followed behind the main group. This time, the strength of the scattered groups was relatively balanced. Basically, the masters in the first echelon were all in their own groups. Zuo Zhicheng's group did not have any masters in the first echelon, but they had the most masters in the second echelon.
However, not long after, Zuo Zhicheng seemed to realize that something was wrong.
Dragon Xiaotian, Tian Longzi, and Xiao Minghe looked at each other from time to time. The way they looked at Zuo Zhicheng became more and more strange. However, they did not really do anything until the end.
Instead, a series of explosions, tremors, and lights kept coming from the front of the group. It was obvious that the enemy had focused their attacks on the other groups.
An hour later, Zuo Zhicheng's group did not encounter any real attacks. The main group finally arrived at a cliff two kilometers away from the palace.
Jing Chengtian's face was a little pale. He had taken all the attacks along the way. Four people in his group had died. It was obvious that the enemy's attacks were fiercer than before.
The battle had not really started, but the whole group had already lost nine people, leaving them with 43 people.
This was the reason why Zuo Zhicheng hid in this group. If he rushed over alone, he would be detected by the enemy's detection method. He would probably consume a lot of psionic energy before he arrived.
What he did not know was that if he showed up at the beginning, Alwar would have already discovered him. However, the fact that the other party had a powerful detection ability was already part of his plan. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to hide his identity.
On the cliff, above everyone's heads, a small metal umbrella the size of a palm opened up, constantly emitting streams of invisible energy. The entire umbrella floated in midair. Everything within a few dozen square meters that was enveloped by this power looked like an ordinary open space from the outside.
Cao Shuyao said, "The Heavenly Luo Umbrella can last for about 30 minutes. They shouldn't be able to sense our presence during this time."
"We need to rest for a while." Jing Chengtian said with a pale face, "But we can't waste this time. The Ruishan Royal Palace is right in front of us. We need someone to investigate. It would be best if we can find out the distribution of their forces and where Shenzong is."
This kind of investigation work was obviously very dangerous. After Jing Chengtian finished speaking, no one responded.
There was an immortal old monster in the Royal Palace and an unknown Void Refinement realm expert. No matter how confident one was in their own concealment ability, no one would take the initiative to sneak in.
Just as everyone was silent, a strange look flashed across Dragon Xiaotian's eyes. He looked in Zuo Zhicheng's direction and said, "Brother Shen, your concealment technique is so powerful. I still can't see through your strength. Aren't you interested in going in to take a look?"
Zuo Zhicheng's entire body was covered in a lead-covered black robe. The Taoists present were almost unable to sense the strength of Zuo Zhicheng's body through their psionic vision.
It could be said that his strength was the most mysterious among all the people present. It was also because of this mystery that Dragon Xiaotian did not take the initiative to attack Zuo Zhicheng, even though he disliked him very much along the way.
But now that he said that, Tian Longzi also looked at Zuo Zhicheng and said, "Brother Shen Cang, your concealment technique is really unparalleled in the world. I've been following you for so long, but I still can't see through your strength. Is there anyone here who can use their psionic vision to sense it?"
Xiao Minghe also said, "Brother Shen, we didn't see you fight all the way. Why don't you show us your skills this time?"
After Xiao Minghe said that, everyone came to a realization. Zuo Zhicheng did not fight at all along the way.
The three of them spoke one after another and pushed Zuo Zhicheng to the point of being the target of everyone in a short period of time.
Shen Cang had no background to them, and they were not familiar with him either. Naturally, everyone would push him when he was down. Anyway, it had nothing to do with them if Shen Cang went to die. If they succeeded, it would be very beneficial to them.
Zuo Zhicheng frowned and was about to refuse when Jing Chengtian said in a tone that brooked no refusal, "Brother Shen, we need to rest here for half an hour. I hope that you will cooperate with our attack after infiltrating.
If we fight later, I will use the Heart-Connecting Transmission to contact you. Your main goal is to find out where Shenzong is. "
Seeing that Zuo Zhicheng was silent and did not answer, everyone started to jeer. There were even a few people who stood near Zuo Zhicheng and placed their hands on their waists.
If I fight with them, I will waste my Spirit Energy and expose my Void Refinement realm strength. I will definitely attract Shenzong's attention. I might even attract the hidden Grand Elder of the Heavenly Dao Palace. It would be unwise to use the three super Daoist techniques, Zuo Zhicheng thought to himself. I will deal with you guys after I finish off Shenzong.
On the other side, Cao Shuyao stood up impatiently and said coldly, "Are you going or not? What's with your indecisiveness? You're not even willing to spend a single bit of effort. Do you think you can benefit from this with your little tricks? "
Just when everyone thought that Zuo Zhicheng would still refuse, Zuo Zhicheng suddenly stood up and said, "Then I will go."
Lu Tiannan was stunned. He did not expect Zuo Zhicheng to agree. In fact, if Dragon Xiaotian had not taken the lead, he would have been the one to do the investigation. Therefore, when he looked at Zuo Zhicheng's back, he wanted to persuade him but could not say anything.
Jing Chengtian used the Heart-Connecting Transmission and said to Cao Shuyao, "Shuyao, he went after you. It seems that this guy is interested in you."
Cao Shuyao snorted and did not say anything.
Under everyone's gazes, Zuo Zhicheng turned into a black line and quickly headed in the direction of the palace.
Jing Chengtian also watched this scene closely. In fact, he did not think that Zuo Zhicheng could really sneak into the palace. He was just a cannon fodder used to test the opponent. In fact, other than Cao Shuyao, Wei Yan, and a few others, the rest were all cannon fodder in his eyes. They were chess pieces used to test Shenzong's side.
However, in the next moment, Zuo Zhicheng suddenly disappeared. Everyone gasped and activated their Psionic Vision. However, even with their Psionic Vision, they could not find Zuo Zhicheng.
"What happened?"
"He disappeared!"
"What an amazing stealth ability!"
Just as everyone was feeling inexplicably surprised, Zuo Zhicheng's figure suddenly appeared in front of the palace gate. He let out a blood-curdling scream and turned into a charred corpse that fell to the ground.
"What happened?"
"What attack?"
Cao Shuyao said coldly, "The entire palace is covered by a layer of invisible heat field. Even Psionic Vision can't see it. It seems that the temperature is very high, but the overall distribution of heat can be controlled."
Dragon Xiaotian sneered in his heart, but he was not surprised. It was not the first time he had done this to an inexperienced and arrogant young man like Zuo Zhicheng.
He knew that people like Zuo Zhicheng were too arrogant and would easily offend others. They would then be attacked by a group. A few words from a beautiful woman and a few provocations from a man could provoke them into doing something unwise.
…
On the other side, Zuo Zhicheng, who was in Shadow Walk, looked at the corpse under his feet that was disguised as an exoskeleton and walked towards the heat field without looking back.
In his Shadow Walk state, he could not be casually burned to death.
The death of his surface identity allowed him to hide and look for opportunities in the dark.
Now, he was the hunter in the dark.
