Chapter 1091
There was actually a wooden puppet hidden under the ground where Yuwen Bo had been standing.
This matter was clearly out of the ordinary. Gu Chen stretched out his hand, and the wooden puppet broke through the ground and landed in his hand.
The puppet had a large head and a small body. Its body was tied with black ropes, and the smile on its face was eternally frozen.
The strangest thing was that there was a rune similar to a snowflake between its eyebrows, and at the center of the rune was a hole.
Gu Chen turned the puppet over to take a look, and his expression couldn't help but change.
There were two lines of words on the back of the puppet's head.
Fate: Great Misfortune.
Xishi, Flux Star, Yuwen Bo died here!
When Gu Chen saw the two lines of words, he looked at the strange smile on the puppet's face, and a chill involuntarily spread through his body.
It was very clear that Yuwen Bo's death was inextricably linked to the puppet.
The other party had used some kind of strange Daoist technique to kill Yu Wenbo here!
Tang Ning also saw the words on the puppet, and his expression changed.
"This puppet was clearly buried underground. Because it didn't emit any immortal energy fluctuations, we didn't discover it."
"This is a type of restrictive magic tool that Fang Wen had arranged beforehand to kill Yuwen Bo!"
"However, this Flux Star is so vast, yet Fang Wen was able to accurately predict where Yuwen Bo would land, and even set the exact time of his death!"
At this moment, Tang Ning suddenly realized that he had underestimated Fang Wen's strength.
"Rather than saying that he calculated the time and place of Yuwen Bo's death, it would be more accurate to say that he single-handedly decided his fate. Yuwen Bo is considered a genius in our Ninth World, but who would have thought that his fate would be so easily toyed with. "
"This person's attainments in the Dao of Fate are terrifying. Ordinary Dao of Fate cultivators can only peek into the fate of others and influence them slightly, but he directly changed the fate of others. It was as if he had the Book of Life and Death in his hand. Are Genesis Masters really so powerful? "
Gu Chen muttered. He looked at the puppet, and his heart began to stir.
The words on the back of the puppet should be an incantation, but they were written in the language of the Ninth World, so they could understand them.
Could it be that the language of the Outer World was the same as that of the Ninth World?
Obviously not, the other party did it on purpose!
The other side wanted to tell them that their plan had been seen through by him. Not only would he not be fooled, but he would also kill their pawn, Yuwen Bo, right in front of them!
How confident was he?
How calm was that?
Gu Chen deeply experienced the elegance of a young sovereign from the Outer Realm.
"I was careless." Tang Ning's expression was solemn.
He did not manage to predict the death of the Desolate Emperor. He originally thought that by killing the four odd beasts and using Yuwen Bo, he would be able to turn the tables. He did not expect the tables to turn.
He had been scheming against others his entire life, but now that he was facing a junior, he felt like he was losing out at every turn.
"There's no need to be depressed. You lost because you didn't understand the enemy's situation, not because you weren't as smart as him."
Gu Chen shook his head.
The Outer Realm cultivators possessed more knowledge than the Ninth Realm, and each of their orthodoxies had their own merits.
That Genesis Master had no idea how much power he had to be able to put Tang Ning at a disadvantage.
The people of the Outer Realm understood the Ninth Realm very well and viewed them as natives of an uncivilized land, but they knew nothing about the Outer Realm. This was a weakness that could not be made up for at the moment.
"Since that guy used this method to kill Yuwen Bo but did not show himself, it means that he most likely knows that you have a helper. Tang Ning, do you think he has divined my identity? "
Gu Chen pondered and was somewhat worried about this.
That Fang Wen was simply too mysterious, and he did not know to what extent he could predict the future.
If he could even calculate his own secrets, then he would definitely be a great enemy of his.
"He is proficient in the divination dao like me, so he can divinate that I might have a helper. However, it is unlikely that he can divinate your true identity. We can only pray that he does not know your identity, or else we will fall into an even more disadvantageous situation. "
Tang Ning said worriedly.
Gu Chen nodded. Since Yuwen Bo was already dead, there was no point in staying here. "Since we can't catch that Fang Wen, let's hurry back to the Mystic Lady Palace. I have already been gone for many days, and I don't know what the situation is like."
Fang Wen could divinate their movements, and he could also use this to do other things. They had to hurry back as soon as possible.
"Alright!"
Tang Ning did not refuse and returned to the Mystic Lady Palace with Gu Chen.
Their journey through the Star Path was not very peaceful.
Along the way, they would often discover some corpses floating in space. Some were heavenly soldiers and generals, while others belonged to foreign tribes. Both sides had clearly gone through a huge battle.
Furthermore, as they got closer to the Mystic Lady Palace, the number of corpses they discovered increased.
Gu Chen and Tang Ning's hearts sank when they saw this.
"This is not a good sign. The battlefield is getting closer and closer to the Mystic Lady Palace. I'm afraid that the location of the Mystic Lady Palace will be exposed soon."
Gu Chen recalled what Li Shunyu had said earlier. The Mystic Lady Palace would be exposed in at most half a month. Based on the current situation, it was obvious that it would be exposed earlier.
The two of them quickened their pace and avoided the enemy troops they encountered along the way. They were fully focused on their journey.
Finally, after one and a half days, the two of them saw the majestic palace in the starry sky.
"Luckily, we are still in time."
Gu Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the Mystic Lady Palace was still in perfect condition. It was obvious that the decisive battle between both sides had yet to arrive.
Tang Ning saw that they were about to return to the Ancient Heaven. He took out a mask from his storage ring and wore it.
"What are you doing?" Gu Chen frowned.
"Wearing a mask can save me some trouble. I will reveal my face when I need it." Tang Ning explained.
Upon hearing this, Gu Chen did not object. He brought Tang Ning and flew towards the Mystic Lady Palace.
Before they got close, the two of them saw that the walls of the Mystic Lady Palace were filled with battle flags. There was a guard every three steps on the city gate tower. A murderous aura surged towards them.
When Gu Chen was still a hundred miles away, a team of patrolling Heavenly Soldiers came forward with spears in their hands. They were filled with murderous aura.
"Greetings, Overlord."
When they saw that it was Gu Chen and there were only two of them, the Heavenly Soldiers retracted their murderous aura. However, their expressions became a little strange.
"What happened?"
Gu Chen asked. The security of the Mystic Lady Palace was much tighter than before he left. These Heavenly Soldiers were even more nervous. It was obvious that something big had happened.
"The location of the Mystic Lady Palace has been exposed. The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals outside have returned. They ordered us to strengthen our defenses. They said that the enemy could attack at any time."
The leader of the Heavenly Soldiers replied.
Gu Chen and Tang Ning could not help but look at each other. In the end, their location was still exposed. It seemed that the battle that concerned the survival of the Ancient Heaven was about to come!
"Let's go!"
